— Lifestyle Inflation Can Make You Broke (Even With a High Income) — How To Not Fall Into the Trap – Jami Farkas
(COMMENT: My wife and I have always tried to live on just one of our incomes, granted, on whichever income was the highest. We have always kept close track of our income and expenses. We have always put the maximums into tax-deferred savings accounts. Living on just one of our incomes became much more difficult when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. That cut my income by 59%/year. Living on just one of our incomes became impossible when my wife retired. Ever-increasingly, we are spending more than my Civil Service Retirement System pension and our Social Security, and ever-increasingly, we have to spend down our retirement savings.)
https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/financial-planning/lifestyle-inflation-can-make-you-broke-even-with-high-income-how-to-not-fall-into-trap/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make a Budget. Now that you know exactly what you must spend each month, figure out how you’ll spend the leftover. That’s necessary to break the cycle of lifestyle inflation, said Jennifer Stein, a certified financial planner and director of client engagement at Priebe Wealth. “To escape this, look at the income you’re making, the bills you have, and what is left over,” Stein said. “Then determine how much you will save and make this your priority. Pay yourself first. After you’ve saved, you can use some of the extra disposable income for things you enjoy and can afford, whether it’s an extra vacation throughout the year or fancy date nights in the city.”)

https://www.ntd.com/virginia-parents-sue-school-district-over-crt-curriculum_718969.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Parents in Virginia have sued Albemarle County School Board over so-called “anti-racist” curriculum materials that they allege are indoctrinating their children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT) that are actually racist at their core. The plaintiffs, nine parents and their children, filed the complaint (pdf) in Albemarle County Circuit Court on Dec. 22 with the help of attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a legal nonprofit. ADF said in a statement that the parents had filed suit against the school board for “enacting discriminatory policies and indoctrinating students in radical ideology,” violating students’ civil rights by treating them differently based on race. “Our clients believe that every person is made in the image of God, deserves respect, and therefore, should not be punished or rewarded for something over which they have no control,” ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson said in a statement. “Public schools have no right to demean students because of their race, ethnicity, or religion.”)

— 7 Issues to Look Out for During a Home Inspection – Maurie Backman
(DIERSEN: If my wife and I were to list our home for sale, we would disclose to prospective buyers and to their home inspectors all our home’s defects and what was done to mitigate those defects including the following. The foundation’s footings cracked before the foundation walls were poured, so the builder put steel reinforcement in the walls and laid interior foundation drain tiles. Many lengthy cracks formed in the basement floor, so I sealed them. The home was built on the intersection of two subterranean drainage lines, so I properly connected those lines to the city storm sewer system. Those subterranean drainage lines create drainage easements, so I had those easements recorded. The subdivision lacks adequate storm water drainage, so I paid the builder $700 to directly connect all of the home’s seven downspouts to the city storm sewer system and I installed many storm water inlets and hundreds of feet of French drains.)

BLOOMBERG LAW
— A Black deputy sheriff for DuPage County, Illinois isn’t entitled to a trial on his claims that he was denied a promotion to sergeant because of his race and that the county conspired to withhold promotions from Black deputies through artificially low performance evaluation scores, a federal court in Illinois ruled. Although the deputy suffered an adverse employment action by receiving a score of 67 on his performance evaluation instead of the minimum 70 necessary to sit for the promotional exam, he could not produce any evidence leading a reasonable jury to believe that the adverse employment action was due …
(COMMENT: The low performance evaluations that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors gave me conflicted with the fact a) that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, b) that I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and c) that I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant.)

GAO, I would have presented a jury with many examples in which my Democrat GAO superiors promoted over me their Democrat employees who were female, minority, and/or younger and who had less job-related work experience, less education, and/or fewer professional certifications and licenses than I had. If I had been a Democrat, a female, and/or a minority, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)

— NewsGuard Ratings System Heavily Skews in Favor of Left-Wing Outlets – Joseph Vazquez
(COMMENT: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who promote left-wing outlets like Capitol Fax and b) who demonize, denigrate, and condemn the right-wing www.gopillinois.com ?)
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/joseph-vazquez/2021/12/13/study-newsguard-ratings-system-heavily-skews-favor-left
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new analysis reveals the extraordinary left-wing bias of website ratings firm NewsGuard, which should concern every American given that it is expanding its reach into cable and broadcast TV news. Liberal outlets were rated 27 points higher on average than news organizations on the right. MRC Free Speech America analyzed the NewsGuard ratings of media outlets based on a list compiled by AllSides classified by their “bias” on a left-to-right scale. The average NewsGuard score for the “left” and “lean left” outlets — which included leftist outlets like Jacobin and The Nation — was 93/100. While the average rating for “right” and “lean right” outlets — which included Fox News, Washington Times and New York Post — was a low 66/100. That’s a 27 point disparity. According to NewsGuard’s skewed ratings, left-leaning outlets have substantially more “credibility” on average than right-leaning outlets.)

— GOP leaders seek to fend off Trump endorsement as far-right Republican eyes Illinois primary bid. – Melanie Zanona and Manu Raju
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/mary-miller-republican-primary-illinois/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s closest Hill allies are privately lobbying the former President to get involved in a Republican-on-Republican matchup in Illinois, a potentially messy scenario that has sparked internal strife in the party and prompted GOP leaders to launch a counter-campaign aimed at keeping Trump on the sidelines. At the center of it all is freshman Rep. Mary Miller, a member of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus who has been left without a seat after redistricting. Now she’s deciding whether to challenge fellow Illinois Republican Reps. Rodney Davis or Mike Bost. Hoping to boost Miller’s political prospects, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — another controversial firebrand who is close with Miller — has been talking her up to Trump and encouraging him to throw his weight behind Miller, according to multiple GOP sources. Trump endorsement would turbocharge the intraparty battle and potentially make things even stickier, something GOP leaders are eager to avoid. So House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has worked behind-the-scenes to head it off: he has urged Trump to stay out of the primary race, telling the former President that Bost and Davis — who are poised to become committee chairmen if Republicans reclaim the House after next year’s midterms — are both good members, sources said. The tug-of-war over Trump’s potential involvement in Illinois is just the latest headache for GOP leaders as they seek to keep the party united in their quest to reclaim power. While McCarthy views Trump as an essential ally in his efforts to win back the House and become speaker, the former President’s meddling in certain GOP primaries could also make life more difficult for the California Republican.)

HISTORY NEWS NETWORK
— SEVEN EX-PRESIDENTS HAVE TRIED TO RECLAIM THE OFFICE. WILL THERE BE AN EIGHTH? – Ronald L. Feinman
https://historynewsnetwork.org/blog/154567
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If he ends up running, Trump would be the 8th former president to attempt to return to the office. Only one, Grover Cleveland, was successful. Three others—Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and Theodore Roosevelt—-ran as third party candidates. Three others—Ulysses S. Grant, Herbert Hoover, and Gerald Ford— attempted to run after leaving the Presidency, but failed to accomplish that goal. . .Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) (1893-1897) is the only president to win, then lose, and then regain the presidency. In an era of Republican dominance, the conservative Cleveland was the only Democratic president between James Buchanan before the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He is best remembered for supporting the Interstate Commerce Act (1887), supporting a lower protective tariff that only came about in his second term, demonstrating white supremacist views toward African Americans, native Americans, and Asian Americans, intervening in the suppression of the Pullman Strike of 1894 in his second term, and opposing the western free silver crusade headed by William Jennings Bryan in 1896. Cleveland also appointed four Supreme Court Justices in his two terms, and utilized the veto power more times than any president, except for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cleveland was also an anti imperialist, refusing to annex Hawaii when Benjamin Harrison tried to arrange a treaty as he left office in 1893, refusing to intervene directly in the Cuban war against their Spanish masters in 1895, and opposing the Spanish American War and American intervention in the Filipino Insurrection under his successor, William McKinley.)
