Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

https://codcourier.org/11299/opinion/americas-fake-news-epidemic-we-need-credible-news-sources/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the era of the Internet, fake news is easily spread. It is because of today’s
technology that we as consumers of media have the responsibility to seek out
the most accurate, unbiased sources of news. Sources like Buzzfeed and Fox News
are simply too biased to take for accurate news. These news outlets may be OK
for a quick glance at what is happening in the world, but they shouldn’t be our
go-to sources. I urge readers to make sure you are gathering information from
reputable sources. I recommend The Associated Press, BBC and Reuters for world
news, and the Daily Herald for local news. These media outlets tend to meet
high journalistic standards while putting out minimal partisan bias in their
stories. If we continue to allow ourselves to confuse biased, fake news for
factual news, we risk the autonomy to make decisions based on our own morals.
We cannot allow ourselves to be lied to by the fake news spread hazardously
across the internet.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rahm ‘would welcome’ migrants Trump considers releasing to sanctuary cities
– AP (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, to “welcome” illegals is to illegally
encourage illegal immigration. Chicago Democrats have illegally done everything
that they can to get citizens of foreign countries to illegally come to America
illegally and to illegally stay in America illegally. If Trump sent 10,000,
50,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000+ illegals to Chicago, what would Chicago
Democrats do with them? I predict that those Chicago Democrats would soon
spread those illegals that they do not want across Illinois. How many unwanted illegals
would those Chicago Democrats send to your county, to your township, to your
municipality, to your precinct, and to your neighborhood? Of course, if they have
not done so already, the Democrats who run Illinois will give illegals the
right to vote. With votes from illegals, the Democrats who run Illinois will
get rid of even faster individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that
are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican,
American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft
avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long
time.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/donald-trump-releasing-detained-immigrants-ice-sanctuary-cities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor
Rahm Emanuel said Chicago would “welcome these migrants with open arms,” in
response. “What President Trump fails to understand is that America is a
sanctuary country,” Emanuel said. “Small, medium and large cities across the
nation are suddenly and rapidly identifying as sanctuary cities because of the
abandonment of Americans values, ideals and cultural destiny under President
Trump’s watch.” The plan was panned by critics as an effort to use migrants as
pawns to go after political opponents. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
calls the plan “disrespectful.”)

failing to register for the draft has serious, long-term consequences – Gregory
Korte (DIERSEN: My avoiding the draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970
and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 has had “serious,
long-term consequences” for me. While I worked for the federal government
1966-1969 and 1980-1997, my Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat
coworkers, and Democrat subordinates stressed to my superiors, supervisors,
coworkers, and subordinates, especially to those who were veterans, that I had
avoided the draft. They stressed that WHILE MY PEERS WERE DYING IN VIETNAM, a)
I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968,
and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971; b) I bought a new town home in 1972; and c) I
earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970 and then took graduate
business courses. Since 1966, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that
because I avoided the draft, I have had TREMENDOUS UNFAIR ADVANTAGES IN
LIFE.)

— Suburban voter turnout turned off with only 13% casting ballots Only 13
percent cast votes in suburban races – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: 25.7 percent (135
the 526 registered voters) cast ballots in my DuPage County Milton Township
Precinct 9 in Wheaton. This afternoon, I delivered to the West half of my
precinct copies of the sample ballot with the number of votes that each
candidate received in the precinct. Current issues in the precinct include a
proposed Starbucks at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville
Road, proposals concerning the Roosevelt Road underpass at Wheaton Avenue, and
proposed zoning changes for the south side of Roosevelt Road between Carlton Avenue
and Main Street.)
