— Pritzker hits Rauner in new video – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump supporting individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

— ERA began as a farce but has ended in tragedy — with Illinois playing a role – George Will (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have a low opinion of women. According to them, the federal government should be and is the “employer of last resort.” According to them, a) instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a woman in 1966, b) the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job, c) instead of me, IRS should have hired a woman in 1971, d) instead of me, IRS should have promoted women in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) instead of me, GAO should have hired a woman in 1980, f) instead of me, GAO should have promoted a woman in 1986, and g) GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

DAILY HERALD
— Why are taxpayers still covering end-of-career pay boosts? – Editorial (DIERSEN: Have you benefited from a pension boost? My critics/opponents would say that I did. They would say that the only reason why my Democrat GAO superiors promoted me to GS-13 in 1986 and gave step increases in subsequent years was to get my “high 3” salary, and therefore my pension, high enough that I would cave in and take a) their $25,000 buyout “offer” in 1993 when I was 45 years old, and if not that, b) their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Black Unemployment In Illinois Tops Other States – MAUREEN FOERTSCH MCKINNEY (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have a low opinion of Blacks. According to them, the federal government should be and is the “employer of last resort.” According to them, a) instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a Black in 1966, b) the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job, c) instead of me, IRS should have hired a Black in 1971, d) instead of me, IRS should have promoted Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, f) instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986, and g) GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

ROBERT FEDER
— Sun-Times CEO Eisendrath fires back at critics (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one calls my tunes. My critics/opponents cannot take away my $51,864/year Civil Service Retirement System pension, my $18,000/year federal health/dental/vision insurance subsidy, or my $2,064 Social Security.)
http://www.robertfeder.com/2018/06/13/robservations-sun-times-ceo-eisendrath-fires-back-critics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sun-Times CEO Edwin Eisendrath is responding to critics who’ve questioned whether the paper can cover politics and City Hall fairly under its current ownership. Foremost among them is Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass, who challenged the connection between Sun-Times chairman Jorge Ramirez and his boss, investment executive Michael Sacks, whom Kass described as Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s “money guy, closest confidant and top fundraiser.” This week Eisendrath fired back: “The truth is the journalists do their job, and they’re not being bossed around by anyone on our board. That line is held, and it’s been clear. I don’t see any evidence that anybody is walking around me and talking to the reporters and trying to push them to do anything,” he told me. “The same way I’m able to say — in spite of clear evidence that the Tribune has a corporate point of view and a political point of view — I’m able to give credit to the journalists for the work they do. And I would expect Kass to do the same thing. . . . It’s fair to go after corporate citizenship. You bet it is. But that’s a different case. That’s not what he did. He said the reporters are going to get their marching orders from City Hall. Shame on him. He knows better.”)
