— No break for Blago; judge won’t reduce ex-gov.’s prison sentence – Jon Seidel and Tina Sfondeles (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in giving me a lifetime pension sentence. Constructively, by forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” in today’s dollars, they put me on administrative leave for the rest of my life at $50,720/year, or 42% of my $120,427/year salary. Why did they punish me that way? I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and, since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Previously they had punished me by a) not promoting me beyond GS-13, b) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and c) forcing me to take an $18,459 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— Obama Administration IRS Scandal Back in the News (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents side with my Democrat IRS superiors against me. They a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=13537
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The mainstream media have gone to great lengths to avoid reporting on controversies with the potential to damage President Obama’s reputation or legacy. The endeavor to politicize the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) became an article of impeachment against Richard Nixon in 1974. But the actual politicization of the IRS under Barack Obama is treated as a phony scandal ginned up by Fox News, talk radio and the tea party movement. So it’s no surprise that recent news stories about the IRS scandal have been met with nearly complete silence from the mainstream media. The goal is clear: if the media ignore this scandal long enough, it will be treated and dismissed as old news.)

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/14-states-donald-trump-win-november/story?id=41240078
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Trump in Lawrence Township, New Jersey, May 19, 2016: “You’ve let go of thousands of people, and you’ve left, in this case, Indiana, in Chicago, and all of the different places … We are going to win Illinois. We are going to win Indiana. We are going to win these states.” ABC News rating: Solid Democratic. If Trump is able to pick up Illinois, it would be the first time in almost three decades a Republican has done so. With Democratic strongholds like Chicago delivering a large number of votes, the Democrat has won by double digits in the past six presidential elections.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Why Trump and Clinton Need to Join the Conversation on Retirement Security – Dan Kadlec
http://time.com/money/4445086/trump-clinton-retirement-security/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Imagine if the candidates harped on the savings and retirement crisis. Even though 20% of Americans have no retirement savings, only 8% list retirement security as a top concern, the survey found. The Government Accountability Office has found that about half of all households near retirement age have zero retirement savings and no pension other than Social Security. So where is this conversation among our would-be leaders? The public is more than ready. Some 68% of American workers complained last fall that presidential hopefuls were not talking enough about retirement issues, according to a poll from the Financial Services Roundtable. In a major speech on the economy this week, Republican nominee Trump didn’t utter a single word about retirement, longevity or aging. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s forthcoming speech on the economy isn’t likely to raise the issue either. Her website talks about retirement almost exclusively in terms of Social Security, which she vows to expand by raising taxes on the wealthy. This at least acknowledges the savings crisis. But it also suggests a woeful misunderstanding of how to fix it.)
