FED SMITH
— Federal Employees: You’re Not Going Anywhere This Year – Michael Wald  (DIERSEN: This article hints/implies/argues/shouts that if federal employees quit, they can easily get a comparable or better job in the private sector.  However, that might be true only if the employee is a Democrat, a minority, a female, younger, and/or a veteran.  Just like the federal government, private sector employers have always been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran.  Another words, the more of the following that a federal employee is, the more likely that they are not going anywhere: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

GAO
— JOB OPENING: Student Trainee  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 after I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.  To transfer, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $71,326. Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned  a)  my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c)  my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc.  They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

DAILY HERALD
— A look at where some of those protesting, commune-living ‘hippies’ are today – Jean Murphy  (DIERSEN: What were you doing in 1967?  I was a full-time student at UIC and a part-time mailman for the Park Forest Post Office. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I sold my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint and bought a 1968 Oldsmobile 442. I saved money for college expenses.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/entlife/20170603/a-look-at-where-some-of-those-protesting-commune-living-hippies-are-today
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nostalgia reigns supreme this summer as we approach a series of 50th anniversaries of pivotal moments in our history. This summer San Francisco is commemorating the Summer of Love when the hippies arrived in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in 1967. Closer to home the latest version of the Grateful Dead, known as Dead & Company, has concerts scheduled at Wrigley Field on June 30 and July 1, and Navy Pier is hosting “Exhibitionism,” an exhibit of Rolling Stones memorabilia, through July 30. Next year and the years that follow will surely generate remembrances of such major events as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Chicago’s 1968 Democratic National Convention, Woodstock and the shootings at Kent State, to name a few. So what has happened to all of the people who were activists and hippies in those days? How have they lived their lives since those tumultuous years?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two local state senators — Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington — voted against the measure. But in the House, state Reps. Jerry Long, R-Streator, David Welter, R-Morris, and Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, supported the legislation. Only five other Senators joined Barickman and Rezin in voting no — Republicans Chapin Rose, Neil Anderson, Michael Connelly, Dale Fowler and Chris Nybo also opposed. HB 607 cleared the Senate 43-7-1, and the House vote was 75-34-3, so it’s fair to say there was bipartisan support. But still, as our readership area is represented almost entirely by Republicans, it’s interesting to note when the votes diverge.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— One-term Trump? – Mike Causey
https://federalnewsradio.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2017/05/one-term-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If President Donald Trump wants to: 1) Avoid any possible impeachment action, or 2) Help Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in 2018, or 3) Score another electoral vote win in 2020, then, He might want to back off his plan to put millions of current and future federal retirees on a zero-calorie COLA (as in cost-of-living-adjustment) diet for life. Why? Because federal retirees and their families are a major factor — both in finances and voting — in most states and many communities.)

— Political Bias or Sloppiness? – Gary Krasner
http://www.publiusforum.com/2017/05/30/political-bias-sloppiness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On CNN’s State of the Union, with Dana Bash, on May 28, 2017, the topic of Sanctuary Cities was discussed with Sanctuary City Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago. The definition of a “sanctuary city” is one which allows illegal aliens to reside within its jurisdiction, flouting state and federal immigration laws. And the operative word is “illegal.” But, the word “immigration” was spoken 8 times, without the prefix “illegal”. “Immigrant” was used spoken 4 times, with the prefix “illegal” zero times, but “undocumented” used only once.)

https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/17/05/9524780/civil-servants-push-back-at-trump-gop-characterizations-of-career-feds
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The GOP-controlled Congress and President Donald Trump have hammered away at what they characterize as slackers with too many benefits and too much time on their hands, and, frankly, civil servants are sick of it. “Contrary to what you may have heard in a recent congressional hearing, my members are barely holding on to a middle-class standard of living,” Pam Sturm, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 822 IRS workers in St. Louis, said in a statement. “They struggle to pay for housing, utilities, rising health-care costs, tuition and care for children or elderly parents,” Sturm said. She said 65 percent of her members are Grade 5 to Grade 8, which means their starting salary is $33,000. The highest salary for Grade 8 employees is $58,962.)

— TREASONOUS: Illinois House approves TRUST act for immigrants – AP
http://www.wandtv.com/story/35540458/the-latest-illinois-house-approves-trust-act-for-immigrants
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois House has approved a plan that prevents what advocates say is harassment of undocumented immigrants. The so-called TRUST Act was approved 62-49 Monday. It requires a criminal warrant before federal authorities pursue undocumented immigrants. But Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch softened the legislation with input from local police organizations. The Hillside Democrat says police were concerned with earlier legislation which forbid them from participating with federal authorities unless there was a criminal warrant. But it still prohibits local jails from holding people on immigration detainers so that federal officials may pick them up for possible deportation. Republicans complained immigration is a federal issue. Proponents argue it’s not a crime to be in the country illegally and many work and pay taxes. The measure must return to the Senate. The bill is SB31.)

http://www.wsiltv.com/story/35539070/opponents-of-texas-immigration-disrupt-legislative-session
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hundreds of protesters opposing Texas’ tough new anti-“sanctuary cities” law launched a raucous demonstration from the public gallery in the Texas House on Monday, briefly halting work and prompting lawmakers on the floor below to scuffle – and even threaten gun violence – as tense divides over hardline immigration policies boiled over. Activists wearing red T-shirts reading “Lucha,” or “Fight,” quietly filled hundreds of gallery seats as proceedings began. After about 40 minutes, they began to cheer, drowning out the lawmakers below. Protesters also blew whistles and chanted: “Here to stay!” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, SB4 has got to go,” referring to the bill that Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law this month. Some unfurled banners reading: “See you in court!” and “See you at the polls!” State House leadership stopped the session and asked state troopers to clear the gallery. The demonstration continued for about 20 minutes as officers led people out of the chamber peacefully in small groups. There were no reports of arrests. Texas’ new law is reminiscent of a 2010 Arizona “show your papers” measure that allowed police to inquire about a person’s immigration status during routine interactions such as traffic stops. It was eventually struck down in court.)
