— What did you do 17 years ago today? I attended the Bush/Cheney rally before the start of Naperville’s Labor Day parade and walked with Bush and Cheney in the parade.  I was one of those who rode a Bush/Cheney bus from the end of the parade to attend the Cheney rally at the Taste of Polonia festival. Earlier that year, I asked Governor George Ryan and Senate President Pate Philip to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FEBRUARY 17, 2017 FLASHBACK: Naperville’s links to presidents, from Buchanan to Bush – Suzanne Baker (DIERSEN: Did you attend the Bush/Cheney rally before the start of Naperville’s Labor Day parade in 2000 and did you walk with Bush and Cheney in the parade? I did. Earlier that year, I asked Governor George Ryan and Senate President Pate Philip to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-president-naperville-link-st-0219-20170217-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a presidential candidate, then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush marched in the Last Fling’s Labor Day Parade in 2000 after holding a rally at Naperville North High School. It was on the rally stage before the speech when the candidate, who was oblivious the microphones were live, pointed out a veteran political reporter to his running mate Dick Cheney and said, “There’s Adam Clymer, major-league a—— from The New York Times.”)
— SEPTEMBER 6, 2000 FLASHBACK: Democratic and Republican staffers got together before their candidates’ Labor Day appearances at Chicago’s “Taste of Polonia” festival and agreed neither side would disrupt the other’s rally. Which is why the Tipper Gore-Hadassah Lieberman appearance and the Dick and Lynne Cheney rallies went off without any partisan bickering. – Ellen Warren & Terry Armour (DIERSEN: I was one of those who rode a Bush/Cheney bus from the end of Naperville’s Labor Day Parade to attend the Cheney rally at the Taste of Palonia festival.)

— School choice is not a panacea – Richard Hudson, Chicago (DIERSEN: Did you come from a poor family? Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as coming from poor families. They paint me as coming from an undeservedly filthy rich family because my parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

DAILY HERALD
— Trump administration’s move on gender wage gap prompts outrage – Danielle Paquette  (DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v.

— Millions who buy health insurance brace for sharp increases – AP  (DIERSEN: How much do you pay for health, dental, and vision insurance? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are beyond furious that my wife and I pay only $5,763/year and the federal government pays $17,288/year for our health, dental, and vision insurance because I am a federal retiree. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) want cheap labor, b) hate federal employees, and c) hate federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for almost 20 years.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PICTURE OF KRISNAMOORTHI: Krishnamoorthi pushes for more federal funding for career programs – Madhu Krishnamurthy  (DIERSEN: What have you done to qualify yourself for higher paying jobs?  I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. How have federal programs harmed your career? In 1971, when I was 22, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Democrats use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire and to get rid of their employees who are Republican, and especially those who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  To help them meet their AA, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets, 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 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.)

If you had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars when you were in high school, what you have done with the money? In today’s dollars in 1966, I earned $9.49/hour. (SEE:
