http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-priebus-idUSKBN1560RM
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House vowed on Sunday to fight the news media “tooth and nail” over what it sees as unfair attacks, with a top adviser saying the Trump administration had presented “alternative facts” to counter low inauguration crowd estimates. On his first full day as president, Trump said he had a “running war” with the media and accused journalists of underestimating the number of people who turned out Friday for his swearing-in. White House officials made clear no truce was on the horizon on Sunday in television interviews that set a much harsher tone in the traditionally adversarial relationship between the White House and the press corps.)

— How Much of a Pension Will Obama and Biden Get After Leaving Office? – Ian Smith
http://www.fedsmith.com/2017/01/23/how-much-of-a-pension-will-obama-and-biden-get-after-leaving-office/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The pensions of former Vice Presidents are calculated differently. Vice Presidents do not receive an automatic pension as former Presidents do. Instead, Vice Presidents are granted pensions based on their service in the U. S. House of Representatives or Senate. Vice Presidents must serve at least two years to receive a pension. Joe Biden’s pension is based on his role as President of the Senate. Assuming he was covered under the Civil Service Retirement System for the past 43 years, his pension could amount to approximately $248,670 per year. According to their 2015 tax returns, the Obamas reported an adjusted gross income of $436,065 and paid $81,472 in total tax. The Bidens reported adjusted gross income of $392,233 and paid $91,546 in total federal taxes.)

— A Big Drag: How Much Puffing In Illinois Costs Smokers – Kelly Bauer  (DIERSEN: I have never been a smoker.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, many, if not most of my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who worked the hardest against me were smokers.  Almost all of them were White, male, and/or older.  Many of them had severe health problems.)
https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170117/downtown/big-drag-how-much-puffing-illinois-costs-smokers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Smoking will cost you big time in Illinois.  The habit will cost a smoker an estimated nearly $1.8 million throughout his or her lifetime, making Illinois among the costliest states in the nation for users, according to a new study. The study from WalletHub looked at the out-of-pocket cost to smokers as well as financial opportunity cost (how much money smokers would have made by investing money instead of spending it on cigarettes), healthcare cost, income loss per smoke and other expenses. The study found smoking in Illinois will end up costing people more than $34,000 a year or $1.77 million over a lifetime of smoking for about 50 years. For a pack-a-day smoker, the habit can cost more than $2,700 per year just to buy cigarettes, the study found.)

The review released Tuesday by the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools revealed that teachers call in more than 16,500 absences each week.

WJBD
— Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Like Tweeting’ – ABC NEWS (DIERSEN: I do not like putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out each and every morning and each and every evening.  Like Trump, “I have other things I could be doing.” But tremendous communication voids continue to exist in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in etc. that no one is filling.  The Illinois Republican Party, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, and other conservative and Republican organizations in Illinois do not have the time, the motivation, the experience, and/or the money like I do to help keep Illinois Republicans up to date with government and political news and commentary every 12 hours.)
http://www.wjbdradio.com/politics/2017/01/18/donald-trump-i-dont-like-tweeting
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite appearances to the contrary, President-elect Donald Trump says he isn’t a fan of tweeting. In an interview with Fox News slated to air Wednesday, Trump said he uses Twitter to defend himself against the “dishonest media.” “Look, I don’t like tweeting,” Trump told Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt. “I have other things I could be doing. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. It’s my only way that I can counteract.” He continued: “When people misrepresent me — because the press is very dishonest, unbelievably dishonest … When people misrepresent me, I have at least a way of saying it’s a false statement. If the press were honest, which is not, I would absolutely not use Twitter. I wouldn’t have to.”)

— Wheaton City Council approves facility for single moms at former Wheaton Inn  Facility to serve as many as 12 new and expectant single mothers – ERIC SCHELKOPF
http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2017/01/18/wheaton-city-council-approves-facility-for-single-moms-at-former-wheaton-inn/a5r6lc4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Wheaton City Council on Jan. 17 voted 6-0 to approve plans for the former Wheaton Inn building at 301 W. Roosevelt Road to become a facility for new and expectant single mothers. The Clarendon Hills-based company Love From Above plans to offer a two-year transitional housing program for women 18 to 26 years old that will serve single mothers in DuPage County. The facility would serve as many as 12 women at any given time who find themselves in “crisis pregnancies,” Love From Above President and founder Yvonne Florczak-Seeman previously said. City Council members approved the plans contingent on the installation of landscaping for the property and the replacement of any required landscaping that has died or is dying. In addition, the facility will only be able to serve a maximum of 12 women at any given time. While Wheaton Mayor Michael Gresk said he would have preferred to have seen a commercial use for the building, “it’s good to see that building occupied.” “It’s an appropriate use,” he said. Council members previously asked if the facility would have to be licensed or regulated by the state. Greg Dose, attorney for the applicant, wrote a letter to the city stating the facility is not subject to regulation or licensing by the Department of Children and Family Services under the Illinois Child Care Act. In the letter, Dose said the facility will be the primary residence of the women. “While they reside there, it will be their home and the home of their infant and toddler children,” Dose said in the letter. “There will be no children on the premises other than those of the moms. Thus all child care that occurs on the premises will be home-based child care.” Dose said the facility is exempt from DCFS licensing and regulation because the children will not be apart from their parents. Wheaton’s city attorney has agreed with Dose’s opinion. As proposed, the women staying at the facility would have to be enrolled in college to participate in the program. This would be the company’s first facility, which will be called The Butterfly Garden…A Place for Healing and Transformation. The Wheaton Inn originally was built in 1987 and most recently was used as office space by an investment company that relocated to Downers Grove a few years ago. Council member Suzanne Fitch was absent from the meeting.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Illegals and their supporters say “We are here to stay.” In my opinion, it is a crime to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally. In my opinion, it is a crime to encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.  If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1960s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, and delivering mail. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1970s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did working on an automobile assemble line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumping gasoline, and collecting delinquent taxes. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1980s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the job that did auditing federal agencies.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that all the jobs that I had were bad jobs, but nevertheless, jobs that should be given to immigrants.)

— A wall isn’t “the” answer to our immigration problem – TOM TANCREDO
http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/14/a-wall-isnt-the-answer-to-our-immigration-problems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The answer is called E-Verify, an internet-based system for verifying legal work status, the infrastructure for which already exists. It’s is a program operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. In less than one minute, any employer can use it to verify the legal status of the person seeking employment. Today it is a voluntary program used by over a half-million private sector employers that do not rely on illegal labor. We can halt probably 95 percent of unlawful hiring of illegal labor if E-Verify is made mandatory for all employers except those using a legal guest worker program to obtain temporary employees. But here’s the really scary part to my former colleagues: once in place, it is largely self-enforcing and does not depend on an army of immigration agents doing on-site inspections of paper records. It works, and that’s why it is so vigorously opposed. Mandatory E-verify will reduce illegal immigration dramatically. If we remove the magnet of jobs, far fewer people try to enter illegally, and once fully implemented, most of those already here will be forced to return home and start on a legal path of entry into the United States.)

Employers did not want to hire those who are subject to the draft.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not avoided the draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, I never would have been able to a) graduate from NIU debt-free in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, etc., b) get job offers from the Post Office in 1966, from Firestone Stores in 1970, from Oldsmobile and IRS in 1971, and from GAO in 1980, c) pass the CPA examination in 1979, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc., d) buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1978, etc., e) buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, f) get married in 1978, g) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, h) etc.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170113/business/170119480/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a median household income of $40,581, millennials earn 20 percent less than boomers did at the same stage of life, despite being better educated, according to a new analysis of Federal Reserve data by the advocacy group Young Invincibles. The analysis being released Friday gives concrete details about a troubling generational divide that helps to explain much of the anxiety that defined the 2016 election. Millennials have half the net worth of boomers. Their homeownership rate is lower, while their student debt is drastically higher. The generational gap is a central dilemma for the incoming presidency of Donald Trump, who essentially pledged a return to the prosperity of post-World War II America. The analysis also hints at the issues of culture and identity that divided many voters, showing that white millennials — who still earn much more than their blacks and Latino peers — have seen their incomes plummet the most relative to boomers. . .The analysis of the Fed data shows the extent of the decline. It compared 25 to 34 year-olds in 2013, the most recent year available, to the same age group in 1989 after adjusting for inflation. Education does help boost incomes. But the median college-educated millennial with student debt is only earning slightly more than a baby boomer without a degree did in 1989. The homeownership rate for this age group dipped to 43 percent from 46 percent in 1989, although the rate has improved for millennials with a college degree relative to boomers. The median net worth of millennials is $10,090, 56 percent less than it was for boomers. Whites still earn dramatically more than Blacks and Latinos, reflecting the legacy of discrimination for jobs, education and housing. Yet compared to white baby boomers, some white millennials appear stuck in a pattern of downward mobility. This group has seen their median income tumble more than 21 percent to $47,688. Median income for black millennials has fallen just 1.4 percent to $27,892. Latino millennials earn nearly 29 percent more than their boomer predecessors to $30,436. The analysis fits into a broader pattern of diminished opportunity. Research last year by economists led by Stanford University’s Raj Chetty found that people born in 1950 had a 79 percent chance of making more money than their parents. That figure steadily slipped over the past several decades, such that those born in 1980 had just a 50 percent chance of out-earning their parents. This decline has occurred even though younger Americans are increasingly college-educated. The proportion of 25 to 29 year-olds with a college degree has risen to 35.6 percent in 2015 from 23.2 percent in 1990, a report this month by the Brookings Institution noted. The declining fortunes of millennials could impact boomers who are retired or on the cusp of retirement. Payroll taxes from millennials helps to finance the Social Security and Medicare benefits that many boomers receive — programs that Trump has said won’t be subject to spending cuts. And those same boomers will need younger generations to buy their homes and invest in the financial markets to protect their own savings. “The challenges that young adults face today could forecast the challenges that we see down the road,” said Tom Allison, deputy policy and research director at Young Invincibles.)

— Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability Report Paints Disappointing Economic Picture – Greg Bishop  (DIERSEN: Under the Democrats, ever-increasingly, Illinois is anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It suggested Illinois will remain an underperformer in the region thanks to manufacturing struggles and the state’s poor finances. The joint report with Moody’s Analytics said Illinois is the Midwest’s weakest link. With soft job creation, a decreasing labor force, continued manufacturing slump and population losses, the report said the state must navigate its fiscal challenges without doing lasting damage to its business climate. The COGFA/Moody’s report said Illinois is the only state in the region where no metro area has entered the expansion phase of the business cycle. Four metro areas — Elgin, Danville, Decatur and Kankakee — have recoveries that are at risk of coming undone. Four other areas are in recession: Bloomington, Carbondale, Peoria and the Quad Cities. “An uncomfortably high share of state residents are unemployed, underemployed or discouraged workers,” according to the report. It also said that, at 11 percent, “the proportion of marginally attached and involuntary part-time workers in the labor force is the highest in the Midwest.” House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, said the status quo is what’s hurting the middle class. “In the last three years, we have lost approximately 80,000 citizens,” he said. “We’ve lost 29,000 jobs over the last 16 years. I don’t call that standing up for the middle class. Is that protecting anyone? The numbers speak for themselves.” It’s possible to come back after a recession like neighboring states have, Durkin said, and he’s encouraged by Democrats recognizing the need for reforms to grow the economy.)

USA TODAY
— Out of work for six months or more? Here’s why you can’t find a job. – Paul Davidson  (DIERSEN: I have been out of work since September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/01/08/out-work-six-months-more-heres-why-you-cant-find-job/96224280/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Carl Van Horn, director of the Heidrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, rattles off the roadblocks faced by the long-term unemployed including having to explain large gaps on a resume and age discrimination. In 2015, about 36% of the long-term unemployed were 55 or older, Labor Department figures show. And some have seen their skills atrophy or have succumbed to depression, alcoholism or drug abuse, Van Horn says. Such issues historically have plagued long-idled workers. A big difference nowadays, he says, is that some of the nearly 9 million workers who lost jobs in the recession have yet to find work, or retire, and continue to drift in and out of the labor force, searching for jobs sporadically. About 5.5 million Americans are not in the labor force – and so not counted among the unemployed – but still want a job now, up from 4.3 million before the recession, the Labor Department says.  Simply put, Van Horn says, the occasional job searches by those laid off in the downturn creates more competition for jobs among the long-term unemployed.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Who Has More Privilege Than Barack Obama? – Jonathan F. Keiler  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and that I have always been privileged, and that because of that, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/01/who_has_more_privilege_than_barack_obama.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Obama was not born into substantial wealth, but his family on both sides was well connected, providing a traditional advantage that allowed him entry into elite society.  This old-style leg up then combined with modern leftist ethnic-racial privileges, overwhelmingly present in academia and the media, to advance Obama at every turn.  This created a powerful cocktail of built-in benefits that gave Obama almost every conceivable benefit of the doubt while at the same time allowing him to claim victim status.  More than anything else, it is this dynamic that explains his rise and his selfishness.  It also clarifies Obama’s heavy narcissism, bullying behavior, and utter lack of graciousness. Without these privileges, Obama gets nowhere.  If you are inclined to learn more about how Obama got this way, read David Maraniss’s much heralded, largely hagiographic biography of Obama’s early years, if you can bear it.  Before I bought it, I noted a two-star review on Amazon: “Boring.”  Often such smart-aleck one-word reviews are off the mark, but not this time.)
