My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates always used my owning a Corvette against me. On the last Friday in June, a) I worked for IRS in its Harvey office in 1972, in its 63rd & Halsted office in Chicago in 1973, in its Joliet office in 1974, and in its Loop office in Chicago 1975-1979 and b) I worked for GAO in its Loop office in Chicago 1980-1997. I stored the car in my mother’s garage in Crete 1971-1984 and then at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton since 1984. It has only 5,081 miles on it. I have not started it since November 4, 2009. I plan on getting it back up and running for its 50th model year anniversary in 2022. My owning a Corvette since 1971 is a direct result of my 1969 Dodge Charge SE being stolen while I worked for IRS in its Loop office in 1971.)

— Elon Musk has been missing deadlines since he was a kid – Peter Holley (DIERSEN: What if Musk had become a federal employee? For federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non/veteran, the deadline for getting promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) is age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) is age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) is age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) is age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid deadlines. But nevertheless, those who are anti-federal employee and/or anti-federal retiree use the aforesaid to viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn those who did not meet the aforesaid deadlines as being lazy, stupid, and even worse things.)

— Retiring state senator James Clayborne gets unwelcomed parting gift from #MeToo victim – Editorial
http://www.bnd.com/opinion/editorials/article213094504.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois state Sen. James Clayborne’s plan to leave the statehouse and rely on his law license and connections to build a lucrative retirement may have just received a wrinkle. Or maybe a dose of karma. Clayborne is one of the lawmakers with a law license being targeted by Denise Rotheimer for failing to do anything about her sexual harassment complaint. Her recent complaint to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission includes Clayborne, state Senate President John Cullerton, House Speaker Michael Madigan and other law-license-holding lawmakers on the Legislative Ethics Commission.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Jim Day picks Pat Brady and Jim Thacker to talk about John Cox. Cox and I served together on the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee. On July 5, 2003, Cox came with the other four announced candidates for U.S. Senate (Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andy McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) to a picnic that I arranged in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct for voters in my precinct, in Jeanne Ive’s precinct to the east, and in Debra Olson’s precinct to the west. The 200 attendees included Randy Hultgren. We can forever ask ourselves, “What if Trump had endorsed Ives?”)
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/2018-06-10/jim-dey-perennial-illinois-office-seeker-finds-more-success-out-west.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those who recall Cox’s political activities in Illinois have watched with amazement as he’s made his run in California. “He was one of those guys who was always kind of out there running,” said Chicago lawyer and former state GOP Chairman Pat Brady. Rockford political consultant Jim Thacker, who worked both for and against Cox, described him as a “self-made guy” who “always had the credentials and the smarts” to be a credible candidate. “The circumstances were never right for him,” Thacker said. “I didn’t know he had even moved to California. But he’s sure getting his 15 minutes of fame now.” Cox’s endless runs for public office here created an image as that of a political gadfly, someone not to be taken seriously by the news media or the political establishment.)

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/10/may-2018-the-third-consecutive-month-of-record-background-checks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There were 19 consecutive months of record background checks under Barack Obama. Those began in May 2015 and lasted through November 2016. They were driven by a non-stop assault on the Second Amendment, characterized by attempts to secure all-out bans on certain types of weapons and “high capacity” magazines, as well as efforts to implement universal background checks and other controls. Such fears largely vanished under the Trump administration and record levels of background checks faded. Then came the February 14, 2018, Parkland school shooting, which was immediately followed by leftist celebrities, student gun control activists, and the establishment media relentlessly pushing for all-out bans on certain types of weapons and “high capacity” magazines, as well as efforts to implement universal background checks and other controls. Now background checks for gun sales are surging, NRA membership is up to 6 million, and donations to gun rights’ groups are increasing.)

FED SMITH
— Pay Parity and a 2019 Pay Raise for Federal Employees – Ralph R. Smith
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/06/10/pay-parity-2019-pay-raise-federal-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The other potential factor is politics. Federal employee unions are often the public face and out in front on articulating arguments on behalf of federal employees. The unions are often supporting one political party (Democrats) over the other (Republicans). While Republicans are often thought of as the strong supporters for higher military spending, etc., there are no unions in front of the public spending time and money on behalf of one political party. That may be a conundrum for federal employees and their representatives. It can work out well, particularly for unions as an institution, when Democrats occupy the White House and one or both Houses of Congress. At other times, it can be a disadvantage if the federal workforce is perceived as a political force instead of a politically neutral, professional cadre of people supporting the current administration in power. We do not know, of course, what the final pay raise will be for military or civilian employees in 2019. If I were betting on the outcome, I would feel secure in assuming that whatever the percentage, it will be higher for military than for civilians.)

Since 1997, when I was 49 years old, my income, and therefore, my lifestyle has been dramatically slashed. Since 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System pension has been only 41% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars, that is, only $51,864 instead of $125,325.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Aspiring to improve Most of us, however, don’t wish to maintain our lifestyle. We aspire to improve it year by year! This desired escalation in lifestyle tacks on a few percentage points to the appropriate inflation rate for our lives every year. So by way of illustration, if our long run national inflation rate is 3.6 per cent a year, and your specific desired escalation of lifestyle is 2.4 per cent a year, then your annual personal inflation rate = 3.6 per cent + 2.4 per cent = 6 per cent. Then, using the Rule of 72, we find that you’ll need twice as much money in 12 years (= 72 / 6) to live the life you want in 2030. So, if you’re 25 years old and spending RM2,500 a month in 2018, it is straightforward to work out, using our Rule of 72, that in 12 years (age 37 in 2030), you’ll need RM5,000 a month. What is staggering to comprehend though is 12 years after that in 2042, you won’t be able to comfortably get by on RM5,000 + RM2,500 = RM7,500. No. You’ll need twice your needed amount at age 37 at age 49, which is RM5,000 x 2 = RM10,000 a month! Then at 61, you’ll want RM20,000, and so on. The longer you live, the more money you’ll need unless you choose (or more likely are forced) to slash your lifestyle expectations.)
