— Worry About DACA’s Fate Triggers Anxiety, Depression In Immigrants – MAUREEN FOERTSCH MCKINNEY (DIERSEN: What things have caused anxiety and/or depression for you? For me, they include adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PICTURE: Stephen Paddock Chased Gambling’s Payouts and Perks – JOHN BRANCH, SERGE F. KOVALESKI and SABRINA TAVERNISE (FROM THE ARTICLE: The video poker machines that Stephen Paddock liked were the ones that did not draw attention. They had few look-at-me flashing lights or listen-to-me bells. He would sit in front of them for hours, often wagering more than $100 a hand. The way he played — instinctually, decisively, calculatingly, silently, with little movement beyond his shifting eyes and nimble fingers — meant he could play several hundred hands an hour. Casino hosts knew him well.)
