(FROM THE ARTICLE: How proud are you to be an American? That was the question asked of a little over 1,500 American adults for a Gallup poll published Monday. Only 47 percent said they felt extremely proud to be an American — a record low in the 17 years since the research company first started asking the question and a sharp drop from a peak of 70 percent in 2003. The other options were very proud (25 percent), moderately proud (16 percent), only a little proud (7 percent) or not proud at all (3 percent).)

AA, Diversity, and Inclusion waste the careers of and get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or veteran. Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of those who are Republican and are White, male, older, and/or veteran.)

— The Secret Price of Pets The care and feeding of America’s “fur babies” has grown increasingly baroque. – Peter Haldeman (DIERSEN: According to this article, last year, Americans spent $69.5 billion on their pets. Dogs are extremely time consuming and expensive. One reason why I can afford to spend 10+ hours each and every day and thousands of dollars each and every year to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out each and every day is that I have never owned a dog. The time and money that others have spent on dogs I spent working a second job during 1971 and 1972, earning three job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, passing two professional certification examinations in 1979 and 1981, serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, serving as the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, serving as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, etc.)

Breitbart said that the hashtag had gone viral; the Epoch Times said it represented a “growing movement” of Democrats — particularly minority Democrats — abandoning their party, and liberalism.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH GRAPHIC: In This Economy, Quitters Are Winning – David Harrison and Eric Morath (DIERSEN: Beyond outrageously, in Diersen v. GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors argued that they did nothing to get me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. But in fact, they made it extremely clear to me that if I did not take their “offer,” they would a) make my life a living hell and b) constructively, if not actually, demote me. They told me that if I did not take their “offer,” they would assign me to work for my subordinates. All my subordinates were Democrat minorities and/or Democrat females who were younger than me and who had an extremely low opinion of me and of those who share my demographics. They hinted/implied that they would give me performance expectations and performance appraisals that would be even more unfair. They hinted/implied that they might do less to destroy me if I would a) dump my 9 years of experience auditing federal financial industry regulators and b) dump my 1997 master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and try to get assigned to a different audit group.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-this-economy-quitters-are-winning-1530702001
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kimberly Enoch had a stable job working from home managing grants for a Little Rock, Ark., nonprofit, but she was bored and thought she could do better. So she quit. Within three months, she landed a job as a grant writer at Southern Bancorp Community Partners, snagging a 14% raise, a faster pace at work and an easy seven-minute commute. “I knew I could do more,” Ms. Enoch said. She is part of a bigger trend. Workers are choosing to leave their jobs at the fastest rate since the internet boom 17 years ago and getting rewarded for it with bigger paychecks and/or more satisfying work.)
— Polish Chief Justice Defies Government’s Supreme Court Overhaul Malgorzata Gersdorf showed up for work despite a new law that would force the retirement of more than a third of the judges on the court – Natalia Ojewska (DIERSEN: The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new law mandates early retirement for all male Supreme Court judges over 65 years old and all female judges over 60. A panel of experts would then appoint replacement judges. Parliament would choose who staffs that panel, unless more than two-fifths of Poland’s sharply divided parliament obstructs the process, in which case President Andrzej Duda would choose the panelists.)

— Financial Freedom Eludes Many, but Social Security Helps Only one in 10 Americans isn’t in some capacity reliant on their Social Security income when they retire. – Sean Williams (DIERSEN: What has helped you to save more of your income for retirement? For me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would say it was three very bad things: a) my avoiding the draft, b) the federal government grossly overpaying me, and c) my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2018/07/04/financial-freedom-eludes-many-but-social-security.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a Bankrate survey released in March, most Americans fail to save an adequate amount of their income. While most financial advisors recommend that people save 15% or more of what they earn, just 16% of respondents to Bankrate’s survey were heeding this advice. By comparison, 19% weren’t saving a red cent, 21% were putting away 1% to 5% of their earnings, and another 25% were saving 6% to 10% of their income. In another context, essentially two-thirds of Americans are saving nothing or very little, thusly putting their retirement in jeopardy.)
