— City employees still don’t get regular performance evaluations, watchdog says. Departing Inspector General Joe Ferguson warned last fall the city’s failure to conduct regular evaluations for nearly half of its 33,000 employees left personnel decisions “vulnerable to appearances and suspicions of favoritism.” – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the many performance evaluations that I received while I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Not one of them justified any of the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me.)

— SIU paper details cannabis economics, long-term health effects in Illinois – Elizabeth Barmeier (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my pot pushing critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have worked the hardest against me because I oppose pot.)
https://fox2now.com/news/illinois/siu-paper-details-cannabis-economics-long-term-health-effects-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cannabis can have negative consequences on those who use it continuously, according to a Southern Illinois University paper. The negative effects include periodontal disease, socioeconomic problems, and educational attainment, among others. “The Effects of Legalization of Recreational Cannabis In Illinois” also dives into the use rates among youth, women, and adults in the United States; the effectives of legalization of recreational cannabis among adolescents, college students, and pregnant women; and the decrease in the perception of cannabis harmfulness. As states across the country are considering legalizing recreational marijuana, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act went into effect Jan. 1, 2020, in Illinois. It allows adults, 21 and over, to legally purchase recreational marijuana. According to the study, Illinois had collected $100 million in tax revenue from cannabis sales in Oct. 2020. For more information, read the full paper ( https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1066&context=ppi_papers ). The paper was written by Stephanie Chambers-Baltz and it was published in The Simon Review.)

— 7 Signs Your Kid Might Be Learning CRT At School (satire)
https://babylonbee.com/news/7-signs-your-kid-might-be-learning-crt-at-school
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) They call your boss to tell how racist you are: If your kid tries to get you canceled because you perpetuate systems of oppressive whiteness by treating all races equally–which is totally racist– they might be learning CRT. 2) They segregate all their stuffed animals by fur color: Kids who have been taught CRT know the value of creating segregated, decolonized spaces for their stuffies of color to play without white harassment. 3) They come home with purple hair and a ‘Kill All Men’ tattoo: This look is the standard issue for kids who believe all the tenets of CRT. 4) They try to get out of math homework by telling you math is racist: Well, it is. So why are you making them do it, you racist boomer? 5) They refuse to eat on Taco Tuesday due to cultural appropriation: Literally every white ally of social justice knows that enjoying any aspect of another culture that doesn’t belong to your own is racist. Segregate those cultures, Mom and Dad! 6) They ask all their minority classmates to bully them: Are they white? Then they deserve it! 7) They explain over dinner how Marxist ideology is a potent and effective tool for infiltrating all aspects of modern civilization– including culture, religion, economy, and government– in order to dismantle the established order and topple the bourgeois: Wow! so true! If your kid exhibits any of these signs, they’re on their way! Give them a salute, Comrade!)
