UIC NEWS CENTER
— Lincoln Laureate aspires to help others – Tim Goldrick (DIERSEN: What did you do when you were a full-time college student? Instead of helping others, I selfishly worked part-time during the school years and I selfishly worked full-time during the summers. Instead of using the money that I earned to help others, I selfishly bought two new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and I selfishly paid for all my college expenses at UIC and at NIU. Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. If I sought a government office or a political office, by critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would use the aforesaid against me.)
https://news.uic.edu/lincoln-laureate-aspires-to-help-others
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rafid Rahman had a simple objective when he began classes at UIC four years ago. He just wanted to help others.
“One thing my parents have always told me is, ‘Wherever you go, at any stage of your life, you can always give back,’” said Rahman, a senior in anthropology and biology. “Even if it is really small, there’s something you can do to help your community. So I really wanted that to be the focus of any club I joined.” Fast-forward seven semesters, and the Springfield native is being honored for his strong commitment to service with the Lincoln Laureate, an award given to a senior at each undergraduate institution in Illinois. “I’m super honored,” he said. “I can’t say that enough. So many people that I know here have done great things and made UIC such a great campus, and I don’t think this campus would be the same without any of them. To be recognized out of those people and be the sole winner of this award, I’m truly honored.” In total, 56 students across the state named Lincoln Laureates, which takes into account public service and academics. Gov. Bruce Rauner joined the Lincoln Academy of Illinois in recognizing the students at the Old State Capitol Nov. 12. Rauner presented the students with a certificate of merit, a medal of Lincoln and a $1,000 check from the Lincoln Academy.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WHEATON MIDDLE SCHOOL STAFF MEET STUDENTS WITH PRO-REFUGEE SIGNS (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that Trump and Trump’s supporters are racists, sexist, bigots, and even worse things. What percent of those involved in education anti-Trump?)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/02/wheaton-middle-school-staff-meet-students-with-pro-refugee-signs.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton Illinois’ James Howard Monroe Middle School says it is “inspiring in everyone a passion to excel,” but parents were stunned to learn this morning that staff members met students with signs inspiring passions to react against the Trump Administration’s effort to protect American citizens. “We are not afraid,” signs held by staff members at the school’s entrance said Wednesday morning, and publicized the website, “WeWelcomerefugees.com,” while others said “You all are welcome here.” “Your voice is direly needed in this defining, historic moment, to be part of a coalition of the faith community who are compelled to be the voice of Christ, and show support for refugees, immigrants and minorities who now fear how potential political changes may significantly, and detrimentally, upend their whole world,” the site the signs referenced says. The comments on the signs are similar to those that rose up over the weekend in protest of the Trump Administration, which placed a temporary travel ban on certain immigrants and refugees hoping to find solace in America. The Trump Administration clamped down on travelers from seven countries where terrorists are reportedly being cultivated and trained for destruction to Western Civilization. Bryan Buck, the school’s principal, emailed parents Wednesday morning that having taxpayer-funded school staff meeting 6th, 7th and 8th grade students with those signs “could be perceived as political activity.” No apology was issued, only explanation and defense for the staff members: “Monroe Parents, This morning as students were entering the building, there were several school staff members holding signage reading, “We are not afraid, wewelcomerefugees.com” and “You are all welcome here.” The intent behind this demonstration was to make sure that all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion or language, are welcome at our schools. I understand that this situation could be perceived as political activity. Please know that the true the intent was to show openness and support for all our students. Our school district and community represent an amazing cross-section of the world, and we strive to ensure that each student is included and has a place to learn, develop and succeed in our schools. Thank you again for your continued commitment and support of one another and our school. Bryan Buck, Principal The website the signs promoted is sponsored by the following organizations:)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We’re asking you to put on your Sherlock Holmes hats and investigate,” said presenter and Teen Librarian Alice Son. “Constantly play the devil’s advocate.” One evaluation method — which had an acronym that amused the crowd — was the CRAAP Test. It stands for currency, relevance, authority, accuracy and purpose — things a reader should consider. “There is a bias for certain sources, so consider both sides,” Son said. The presentation included discussions on reading news on social media and asking people to place different media outlets on a “political bias spectrum.” They encouraged people to read and evaluate articles before instantly sharing them online; to read stories on both side of the spectrum or something that challenges their opinions; to regularly clear the cookies from their internet browsers to prevent the same types of stories from showing up; and to fact-check information at credible websites like Snopes.com, Politifact.com and FactCheck.org. “It’s sad that libraries, and various other institutions, have to teach people how to protect themselves,” said attendee Ralph Blasko of Arlington Heights. “We are all being manipulated every day … we have to be wary of everything.” The library will host another presentation on the topic March 23, and similar events are being planned at other libraries around the suburbs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Media Matters asked for help building a “comprehensive” database of reporters who “get to ask” questions at the White House Wednesday, sending a series of bizarre tweets in which the heads of various journalists are circled in red ink. “[Media Matters] is going to try to maintain a comprehensive database of who gets to ask questions at press briefings,” senior fellow Matthew Gertz tweeted. “We need your help to ID some!” Gertz then began tweeting out image after image of reporters asking questions in the White House briefing room, describing the question asked in each one and asking followers to identify the reporter. Each one’s head is circled in red ink. “Who is this?” he tweeted, along with one of the photos. “On Monday he asked about the Women’s March on Washington and the March for Life.” . . .White House press secretary Sean Spicer has switched up the pecking order in the first few briefings, opting to give outlets such as The New York Post and Christian Broadcasting Network an opportunity to ask questions, in addition to the more traditionally favored networks and wires.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County Election Commission director Robert Saar retiring – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170123/news/170129582/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Robert Saar, the longtime executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission, no longer is overseeing the day-to-day operation of the agency — and hasn’t been since mid-December. Election commissioners said Monday that Saar officially will retire March 14 but has not been in the office since Dec. 16, when he informed them about his plans to step down. He has been using accrued time off since then, they said, and has no plans to return to work. Joseph Sobecki, the commission’s assistant executive director, is serving in the agency’s top administrative role on an interim basis. “The election commission wishes Mr. Saar the best in his retirement,” said Cathy Ficker Terrill, chairwoman of the election commission board. Saar has been with the commission since 1981 and served as executive director since 1997. Pat Bond, the commission’s attorney, said retirement was on Saar’s “radar” in recent years. “As each election approaches, he doesn’t want to leave anybody in a lurch,” Bond said, “so he stuck around.” This year, the circumstances are different. Saar told commissioners about his retirement just days after DuPage officials announced a plan to ask state lawmakers to return election oversight power to the county clerk’s office by merging it with the election commission.)

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.)

INQUISITR
— PRESIDENT TRUMP ADVISER NEWT GINGRICH THINKS HE SHOULD FIRE ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WHO VOTED CLINTON – Glenn Minnis (DIERSEN: What about the adverse actions a) that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me including forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) that my Democrat IRS superiors took against me including not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims, and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me including forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests?)
http://www.inquisitr.com/3905947/president-trump-adviser-newt-gingrich-thinks-he-should-fire-all-federal-employees-who-voted-clinton/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Salon reports the plan is part of empowered Republicans overall push to purge thousands of jobs from the payrolls of the federal government at a savings of as much as $10.5 trillion over the next decade. In all, the government could be hit with budget cuts of as much as 10 percent and the federal workforce could be slashed by up to 20 percent over that same period. The plan is said to be the blueprint of the ultra-conservative Republican think tank Heritage Foundation, which has long been on record with its preference for doing away with nearly all of the government’s discretionary spending. In Gingrich’s mind, there’s really only one approach to take when faced with such a critical undertaking. “All those bureaucrats overwhelmingly voted for Clinton,” he said, while admitting the prospect of mass firings could lead to sabotage and a lack of cooperation from workers toward new, incoming cabinet bosses. “There won’t be any real cooperation until we change federal law so we can fire them,” he added. Currently, African-Americans account for roughly one in five of all government employees, a ratio that completely dwarfs their overall population size of just 13 percent. It seems a safe assumption that those figures aren’t lost on Gingrich, who would also seem to be well aware that African Americans have in recent history overwhelmingly voted democratically. “I would say by one week after the inaugural, it will be very interesting to look at how many things have changed,” he recently told a group of supporters convened for a Heritage Foundation event, where he also predicted the laws of “Trumpism,” will soon predict a balanced budget based on policy as much as active campaigning. Gingrich also recently penned an open letter where he advocated for the dismantling of the Congressional Budget Office that provides budget and economic data to members of Congress. “The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is simply incompatible with the Trump era,” he wrote. “It is a left-wing, corrupt, bureaucratic defender of big government and liberalism.” He later added what the office stands for runs counter to and “is the opposite of [Trump’s] commitments” to Make America Great Again. Gingrich’s current stance is far different from the one he took during the era of President Bill Clinton, when as House Speaker he and fellow Republicans saluted the agency after its analysis found that the then president’s push for a health care plan would swell the deficit. More recently, CBO officials concluded that if the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, were to be gutted as Republicans have made it a signature vow of doing, the number of uninsured Americans would increase by 18 million in the first year and premiums could skyrocket by up to 25 percent over that same time. Gingrich recently characterized those findings as not only wrong but somehow clearly corrupt. “CBO literally brought in the architect of Obamacare to be the adviser on scoring the very Obamacare legislation that he helped write,” he ranted. “The score was a lie. It was so wrong it was totally indefensible. A year later the CBO produced a new score that was so much more expensive that it was clear Obamacare would have been defeated if it had been the original score.” Overall, the federal government’s workforce is comprised of at least 4 million workers, some 300,000 of them located in D.C. along.)

http://federalnewsradio.com/workforce/2017/01/agencies-asked-come-solutions-tackle-low-hispanic-employment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After six consecutive years of modest increases in Hispanic representation in the federal workforce, the Office of Personnel Management wants each agency to examine why. “In light of persistent low representation,” OPM is asking each agency to conduct a focused barrier analysis on Hispanic employment. Specifically, agencies should focus on employment at the GS-12 through Senior Executive Service levels to “identify and eradicate any barriers to equal employment opportunity, consistent with the merit system principles and applicable laws,” acting OPM Director Beth Cobert and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Jenny Yang wrote in a Jan. 18 memo. The memo has been in the works for more than a year, when the Hispanic Council on Federal Employment voted to begin looking at the issue in more detail.)

http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170120/background-checks-policy-leads-u-of-i-to-withdraw-11-job-offers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An expanded background-checks policy has led the University of Illinois to withdraw 11 job offers across its three campuses over the past year. The News-Gazette reports the university board approved the expanded policy November 2015. From then until October 2016, the university has conducted nearly 12,000 background checks. Trustee Patrick Fitzgerald says among the applicants turned down were candidates that had been convicted for child endangerment or weapons charges. Nine of the 11 the applicants turned down were in Chicago and the other two were at the Urbana campus. The cost of the background checks is about $456,500, with the average ranging from $25 for employees at the UI system level to $41 at Urbana.)

— Donald Trump met Trump Illinois campaign worker and FedEx courier Shane Bouvet the night before the president’s inauguration and gave him $10,000 – Joe Crowe
http://www.newsmax.com/US/donald-trump-shane-bouvet-fedex-money/2017/01/20/id/769656/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “This is the greatest guy,” Trump said about Bouvet, a single father who worked nights and volunteered during the day for Trump’s campaign. The president read a profile of Bouvet in The Post Wednesday and arranged to meet him. The Stonington, Ill. single father worked on Trump’s social media campaign in Illinois, which earned him an invitation to the Great American Inaugural Ball at MGM National Harbor. According to the Wednesday Post story, a friend bought Bouvet a suit for the event. The Post’s Friday story reported that Bouvet met with Trump, Melania Trump, and advisers Reince Priebus and Stephen Bannon in a holding room at Thursday night’s pre-inauguration concert at the Lincoln Memorial. The then-incoming president decided to call Bouvet’s father Don, who is suffering from cancer, the Post reported. “Hey, Don, you have a great name,” Trump said to the father, then added, “You have a good boy.” After signing an autograph for Bouvet’s 4-year-old son, the president asked if he was still together with the boy’s mother. When Bouvet said that he was not, Trump said, “That happens.” Trump looked at the autographs he had signed and told Bouvet, “After that, she’ll have you back. You’ll be a great celebrity.” Then the president told an aide to write Bouvet a check for $10,000 to pay for his father’s chemotherapy. In tears after he left the holding room, Bouvet asked The Post, “Did that just happen?” “He told me I would never have to worry again,” Bouvet told WAND-TV.)
