CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Gov. Rauner officiates at gay wedding — conservatives not throwing rice – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/gov-rauner-officiates-gay-same-sex-wedding-conservatives-unhappy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Keep poking social conservatives in the eye Bruce,” tweeted David E. Smith, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute. “You are doing a yeoman’s job of alienating the base.” The Rauners are personal friends of the couple, who are political supporters of the governor, according to an attendee at the wedding. Rauner campaigned as a social moderate, and has said he has no social agenda. But he’s been forced to address several key issues during his first-term — signing a controversial measure that expanded taxpayer-funding of abortion and worked to protect abortions in Illinois should the Supreme Court overturn Roe. v. Wade. He also signed a measure that allowed transgender people to change the sex listed on their birth certificates. Those were among some of the issues that led state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, to run against Rauner in the March primary, with the governor winning by just 3 points. Many conservative Republicans called the signing of the abortion bill a betrayal. But Rauner denied the claim that earned him the nickname of “Benedict Rauner” and the label of RINO — Republican in name only. Illinois Review, a news source for conservatives, first reported on Rauner at the wedding and the potential conservative backlash. The governor’s office declined comment on the wedding. Less than four years ago, Equality Illinois accused Rauner of ducking social issues that turned some voters off. Just months before the 2014 election, Rauner sent former Illinois GOP Party Chairman Pat Brady to the Pride Parade in Chicago in his place. Gay rights activists supported Democrat Pat Quinn in the race. They campaigned against Rauner, hanging a banner along the parade route, bearing Rauner’s face and his quote on marriage quality: “If I were governor, I would veto it.” Brady stepped down from his post after angering social conservatives when he took a stand in favor of same sex marriage. During the campaign Rauner declined to say whether he supported it. And while he said he had no plans to overturn the same-sex law, he also said if it had landed on his desk as governor he would have vetoed it because voters should have decided the issue. Rauner met with gay rights advocates soon after taking office, telling them he’d direct state agencies to enforce anti-discrimination laws. “I said four years ago, and it’s always been true,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times while campaigning in the final week before the March primary. “I support a woman’s right to decide. I don’t focus on social issues, never have. I’m focused on what unites us: lower taxes, more jobs, ending corruption, and term limits.”)

But it was the AP reporters who would shape the FBI’s investigation, an agent would later testify, when they disclosed the existence of a storage locker used by Paul Manafort. Roughly a month after the meeting, the FBI obtained a search warrant for the locker, seizing 30 years’ worth of financial documents that would become the backbone of the government’s current prosecution of Mr. Manafort in two different courtrooms.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that. They stress that my GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They stress that my IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They stress that my Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

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.)

I just wish I did not have to wear long pants.” “I am so excited to be here,” said Underwood. “How could we not participate in this inaugural parade. We got all of our friends in the community to walk with us, to show we are inclusive, welcoming and celebrating love. It is hot out here but our hearts are warm.”)

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.)

 

NEW STRAITS TIMES
— Can our retirement funds sustain our golden years? – Rajen Devadason (DIERSEN: Have you slashed your lifestyle expectations? 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.)
https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/sunday-vibes/2018/06/378452/can-our-retirement-funds-sustain-our-golden-years

(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.)

NORTHWEST INDIANA TIMES
— OUTSTANDING: Indiana Republicans reaffirm commitment to man-woman marriage as preferred family structure for Hoosiers – Dan Carden

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Indiana Republican Party, by an overwhelming margin, reaffirmed Saturday its commitment to marriage “between a man and a woman” as the preferred structure for Hoosier families. In so doing, the 1,494 GOP delegates attending the party’s biennial state convention turned aside a revised “strong families” platform plank, proposed by Gov. Eric Holcomb’s party leadership, that expressed support for all adults raising children, in favor of renewing explicit support for opposite-sex marriage that first was inserted in the platform in 2014 by marriage equality opponents. The platform debate was the sole controversy at the half-day convention that also saw Secretary of State Connie Lawson, State Auditor Tera Klutz and State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell nominated as the party’s candidates for the November elections. Most delegates applauded and cheered following the voice vote that preserved the Gov. Mike Pence-era endorsement of what backers describe as “traditional” marriage.)
