— Illinois passes state law giving pension boost to one Chicago alderman – Glenn Minnis (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superior who focused on wasting my career and getting rid of me boasted that he got a federal employee benefit reduced because of me. He was beyond furious that I got almost 3 years of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credit 1966-1969 while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office even though I had worked only part-time. He got the benefit reduced so that future retirees got only a pro-rated CSRS credit based on the number of hours that they worked. For example, instead of the almost 3 years of CSRS credit that I got, I would have gotten only half of that if I had worked only 20 hours a week on average.)

https://www.christianpost.com/news/pro-life-leader-accuses-wheaton-student-leaders-of-demonizing-fellow-evangelicals-after-controversy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A black pro-life activist has hit back at the student body leaders of the Christian Wheaton College after a school-wide email positioned that a recent talk of his made students feel “unsafe” on campus. The controversy stemmed from a speech Ryan Bomberger of the The Radiance Foundation delivered at Wheaton called “Black Lives Matter, In and Out of the Womb” on November 14, which was organized by the Wheaton College Republicans. Student leaders claimed that Bomberger made several comments at the time that “deeply troubled members of the community,” making “many students, staff and faculty of color — feel unheard, and unsafe on our campus.”)
