DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR
PICTURE: Pot pushers push medical pot to push recreational pot. It is
ever-increasingly clear that pot pushers want everyone in your neighborhood, in
your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and
in Illinois to be a stoner. To use pot is to destroy yourself, and therefore,
to destroy your neighborhood, your precinct, your municipality, your
township/ward, your county, and Illinois.

— How Influential Women in Business face challenges in a male-dominated world
– Kim Mikus (DIERSEN: Do/did you have a male-dominated job? All the jobs that I
had while I worked for the federal government were male-dominated. I delivered
mail for the Post Office 1966-1969, I collected delinquent taxes for IRS
1971-1980, and I audited federal agencies for GAO 1980-1997. In my opinion, my
superiors had a very hard time hiring and retaining women for the aforesaid
jobs not because they were male-dominated jobs, but because they were viewed by
virtually everyone as being “bad jobs.”)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— We’re living in (almost) the best of times – Michael Barone (DIERSEN: From
what I see, employment opportunities for those who share my terrible
demographics are worse today. Employers are less likely to hire, retain, or
promote those who share my terrible demographics. The Post Office hired me in
1966 when I was 16; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 16. Firestone
Stores hired when I was 21; I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 21.
General Motors offered me a job when I was 22; I doubt that it would offer me a
job today if I was 22. IRS hired me when I was 22; I doubt that it would hire
me today if I was 22. IRS promoted me when I was 23, 24, and 25; I doubt that
IRS would promote me today if I was 23, 24, or 25. GAO hired me when I was 31;
I doubt that it would hire me today if I was 31. GAO promoted me when I was 38;
I doubt that GAO would promote me today if I was 38. From what I see,
ever-increasingly, employers are under pressure to hire, to retain, and to
promote minorities and females.)

the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, dependency on
government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, abolition of the

is an open-primary state, so voters can decide every two years whether they’d
rather help pick the Republican or the Democratic nominees (or hold out and go
to third-party conventions.)

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/with-president-trumps-signature-the-secure-act-is-passed-here-are-the-most-important-things-to-know-2019-12-21
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Increasing the required minimum distribution age — and contribution age
Previously, qualified account holders such as those with a 401(k) or IRA had to
withdraw required minimum distributions (RMD) in the year they turned age 70.5.
The SECURE Act increases that age to 72, which may have tax implications,
depending on where the account holders fall in their tax bracket in the year
they withdraw. The 70.5 age was based on life expectancies in the early 1960s,
the House said, and had not been updated since.)
