— It’s time to tax retirement income, Illinois is one of the very few states that exempts all retirement income from taxation, costing the state more than $2 billion in foregone annual revenue. It’s a luxury we can no longer afford. – MARK MILLER (DIERSEN: Illinois not taxing retirement income helped my Democrat GAO superiors succeed in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— No learning on the job for next mayor: Civic Federation – LYNNE MAREK (DIERSEN: Did you have to learn on the job? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, after having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880, my Democrat GAO superiors treated me like I had to learn everything. They forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut to transfer. They treated what I had learned passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 as being worthless. They treated what I had learned almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul as being worthless. They treated what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 as being worthless. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE LIBERAL JIHAD AGAINST TUCKER CARLSON – Derek Hunter
https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/12/liberal-mob-tucker-carlson-reaction-podcast/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the show today we get into the latest attempt by the progressive Gestapo to destroy someone who refuses to live on their thought plantation and how Tucker Carlson is standing up to the liberal mob. Plus, we discuss how more than 2,000 illegal aliens are reportedly quarantined due to communicable diseases and how the Democratic primary is embracing the concept of reparations for slavery, which could be the dumbest idea in a party of dumb ideas. Leftists have set their sights on Tucker Carlson this week, pretending to be outraged about wise-cracking jokes told on a radio show more than a decade ago. The progressive purity Gestapo demands absolute obedience, anything short of that must be destroyed. Tucker, to his credit, refused to cave and is standing strong, refusing to apologize for jokes dating back to 2006. Still, this Jihad continues and is being perpetrated not just by activists but by journalists as well. Maybe it’s time to hold liberals to their own standards? Maybe, until leftists start to live by the rules they set for others, conservatives hold them to their rules and institute an advertising boycott too? Human decency is too much to expect, maybe it’s time for some of their own medicine? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently holding more than 2,000 illegal aliens in quarantine because there is reportedly an outbreak among the illegals of contagious diseases that have largely been eradicated in the U.S. This news is odd considering how liberals attacked Laura Ingraham a few months ago for saying this very same thing, now liberal outlets have been forced to report it because the problem has grown beyond their ability to ignore it. Democrats are starting to rush toward the idea of reparations for slavery. Out of ideas the American people support, pandering is all the rage on the left and there is no greater pander than the idea of big government checks for free. The party is now supporting the concept of taking money from people who’ve done nothing wrong and giving it to people who haven’t been wronged because people were wronged more than 150 years ago.)
