Of course, because I support Trump and because many opinion leaders in Roskam’s congressional district read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, too many of those around Roskam want Roskam to dump me completely.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/suburban-republicans-struggling-to-survive-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: BARTLETT, Ill. — The Republican Party is on the ropes in America’s upscale suburbs, usually friendly territory that is poised to rebuke President Trump and deliver the House majority to the Democrats, in the final days of a volatile fall campaign. In suburban Chicago, Rep. Peter Roskam is battling to survive amid political headwinds Republicans last experienced in the late 2000s with dual blue waves that booted the GOP from power in Congress and elevated Illinois Democrat Barack Obama to the White House. Roskam always beat the odds, overcoming challenges more daunting than his Democratic opponent this year, businessman Sean Casten. None of these hurdles were Trump. In galvanizing a loyal coalition of conservative populists that won an unlikely 2016 victory simultaneously drove moderate Republican women and independents in the suburbs into the arms of the Democrats, putting the House in play and the GOP majority in serious jeopardy. In Roskam’s district, Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated Trump by 7 points; similar results played out in nearly two-dozen traditionally Republican seats. “I’ve said early on in this presidency that the president should stop tweeting; just throw the Twitter feed away and there’s really nothing good I’ve seen that has happened as a result,” Roskam said Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Examiner, after a campaign swing through the 6th Congressional District. “When it’s been appropriate for me to stand up to the administration, I’ve done that, and I’ve been vocal.” Putting an “independent check” on Trump is a big theme of the Casten campaign. This is “something that Peter Roskam has failed to do as he’s voted with Trump 94 percent of the time,” Casten spokesman Greg Bales said. Casten declined a request for an interview. The Trump revolt in suburbia is fueling the Democratic Party just down the road in the neighboring 14th Congressional District, a roughly half-rural, half-suburban seat drawn to protect Republican incumbents and that voted for the president over Clinton by nearly 4 points. Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren is in measurably better shape than Roskam, according to the available polling data and the analysis of party insiders on both sides of the aisle. But the congressman’s dynamic Democratic challenger, Obama administration veteran Lauren Underwood, an African-American woman, is forcing Hultgren to fight for a fifth term. The rise of quality Democratic candidates in usually sleepy GOP districts like the 14th is a key component of what House Republicans are spread so thin as they labor to defend their 23-seat majority. Early Thursday morning, more than two-dozen Underwood supporters packed a meeting room at a local community college for a round table on climate change and the environment. This sort of fresh energy in GOP districts on the margins of competitiveness is boosting Democratic prospects, putting even more pressure on Republican incumbents in battleground districts that are on the frontlines of the Democrats’ assault. “You are finding a lot of women, in particular, that are motivated and angry and upset and are actually taking that next step to actually get involved, not only through traditional routes in terms of the county party structures or the county parties, but also just kind of forming their own pop-up groups,” said Kristina Zahorik, chairwoman of the Democratic Party in McHenry County, in the 14th District. “In previous cycles, we didn’t see that,” Zahorik added. Democrats less than two weeks before Election Day are maintaining a generic ballot lead of between 7 and 8 points, just enough for them to win the House but not enough to guarantee victory. Some Republicans, though still in danger, have seen their numbers improve as GOP enthusiasm has ticked up in the aftermath of the explosive confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Roskam, hard-working and battle-tested, is beginning to feel a change in the tide that the sixth-term congressman said reminds him of past hard-fought finishes in tough environments. On Wednesday, a relaxed Roskam accepted the endorsement of a local chamber of commerce before assembled dignitaries and employees at an automotive repair shop in Crystal Lake, a leafy community of 40,000 in his district, as he talked up tax reform and its impact on the economy. The $1.3 trillion tax overhaul has been a tough sell in affluent blue-state suburbs, as voters calculate the loss of the federal deduction for state and local taxes. Roskam, as member of the House tax-writing committee, has come under fire for the legislation in some quarters. But signs of pressure were nonexistent as he traversed the district, asking voters to talk about how the law improved their finances. The Roskam campaign is hitting Casten for supporting a hike in the gas tax, an issue that could offset blowback for his support of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Backng a gas tax is a curious position in an area where voters are so dependent on their automobiles for transportation. Roskam said his opposition is “common sense,” an approach that he believes has helped him weather past storms, and will do so again. “I love campaigns like this — because campaigns like this are about worldview. This is not donkeys and elephants; it’s not shirts and skins, it’s about how do we view the economy ultimately,” Roskam said as he accepted the chamber endorsement.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2018/10/23/watchdog-group-files-ethics-complaint-against-kellyanne-conway-n2531358
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Hatch Act restricts federal employee participation in certain partisan political activities. The political activity restrictions apply during the entire time of an employee’s federal service. Certain rules prohibit both on-duty and off-duty conduct. Partisan political activities are those activities directed at the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group. While most Federal employees are permitted to take an active part in partisan political management and partisan political campaigns, the Hatch Act does prohibit certain participation by all Federal employees. Federal employees may not seek public office in partisan elections, use their official title or authority when engaging in political activity, solicit or receive contributions for partisan political candidates or groups, and engage in political activity while on duty.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE: In 6th District, Democrat Sean Casten says remarks on Trump’s tactics he’s apologized for ‘needed to be said’ – Patrick M. O’Connell and Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: According to this article, “Roskam has said Casten’s campaign demeanor reflects Trump’s temperament.” What do you say those around Roskam who hint/imply/argue/shout that I reflect Trump’s temperament and even worse things? They have done everything that they can a) to stop me from finding out about Roskam’s press conferences, b) to stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s press conferences, and c) stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s fundraisers. These newcoming scapegoaters blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for Roskam’s problems, for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I have been helping elect and reelect Roskam since 2000. Both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

— Ives urges vote for legislative candidates, not governor – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-fritz-kaegi-democratic-mailer-20181022-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Jeanne Ives, the Wheaton Republican who lost a March bid for the GOP nomination for governor to Rauner by 3 percentage points, is urging a vote for Republican legislative candidates and not Illinois’ chief executive. In an appearance on KFTK-FM 97.1, a conservative talk station in the St. Louis suburb of Florrisant, Mo., that reaches southwestern Illinois, Ives criticized both Rauner and Republican state Sen. Sam McCann of Plainview who is running for governor under the Conservative Party banner. “The Republican Party’s in complete disarray. Let’s face it, Rauner’s going to lose, in my estimation,” Ives said, adding, “So, the fight is in the Illinois House and in the Illinois Senate. Those are your first line of defense against the bad policies going forward.” Ives, who has not endorsed a candidate for governor, said there are Republicans “all over the place as to what they’re going to do on the governor’s race,” in part because of Rauner’s signature on laws expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. She said people who thought they “could find a conservative in Sam McCann” shouldn’t trust the state senator because of mailers he’s sending out attacking some social conservatives as backers of Rauner and of being less than Republicans. “So now conservatives have been betrayed once again and they have no place to go,” Ives said.)

KIPLINGER
— Retirees, Go Ahead and Spend a Little (More) Successful savers have prospered by living below their means. Frugality often becomes a preference—sometimes to an excessive degree. – ANNE KATES SMITH (DIERSEN: Since my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have been able to increase my retirement saving because of my wife’s income.)
https://www.kiplinger.com/article/spending/T031-C023-S002-how-frugal-retirement-savers-can-spend-wisely.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the majority of retirees are spending down their assets surprisingly slowly during the first two decades of retirement. People who retired with $200,000 to $500,000 in savings, not including their homes, had spent a bit more than one-fourth of their assets, EBRI found. Those with more assets — $500,000 or more — had parted with even less, spending down less than 12% of savings over a 20-year span. And about one-third of the retirees in the study increased their savings over the period.)

The higher that the cost of living is where you live, the more income and the more net worth that you need to be “middle class.”)
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/17/how-much-money-you-have-to-earn-to-be-in-the-upper-class.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, there’s more to class than income: Class can also encompass net worth, education, background and occupation, for example, as well as other factors. For these purposes, however, Pew refers to income and class interchangeably. What it takes to be upper-class also depends on where you live. For a more accurate reflection of which group you’re in, use Pew’s income calculator, which adjusts for the cost of living in your area, as well as the number of people in your household.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Rauner: Ricketts, the IMA and the future of the Illinois GOP The shift of millions of dollars in dark money suggests the fight for control of the Illinois Republican Party is on, with implications for Chicago’s mayoral race, too. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. As everyone knows, anti-conservatives have always a) dominated the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) and b) blamed conservatives for all losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois. Those anti-conservatives want the IRP a) to officially demonize, denigrate, condemn, and banish Trump, b) to officially banish Trump supporters from the IRP, c) to officially strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from the IRP platform, d) to officially promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, etc., and e) to officially banish conservatives, that is, Republicans, from the IRP.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-rauner-ricketts-ima-and-future-illinois-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of this is occurring as Republican chatter builds about what will happen after Rauner and the tens of millions of dollars he’s plowed into the party are gone. Ricketts reportedly is interested in stepping up his activity, perhaps with Griffin as a partner, insiders say. The Ricketts clan does have quite a political pedigree, with Todd Ricketts’ brother, Pete Ricketts, now the governor of Nebraska, and his sister, Laura Ricketts, a leading national Democratic donor. Chairman Schneider, in an interview, said his term has well over three more years to run and “at this point,” he expects to complete it. But he conceded that considerable concern about the future is being raised in a party in which conservative activist state Rep. Jeanne Ives almost defeated Rauner in the March primary, and conservative activist Dan Proft, with help from wealthy businessman Dick Uhlein, has been running millions of ads on behalf of Illinois House candidates he says will be independent of both Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan. “I definitely think there will be a change in leadership of the party after Rauner loses,” Ives says. “I expect to sit with all parts of the party after the election,” Schneider told me. “We’ll put our collective heads together to try to sort out things should work together.” As for Ricketts—a spokesman denied to Politico that he or his family are involved in dark money activities—I wish we had a lot of people like Todd,” Schneider said. “He’s a great guy.”)

— The myth of meritocracy: who really gets what they deserve? Sorting people by ‘merit’ will do nothing to fix inequality. – Kwame Anthony Appiah (DIERSEN: Did you get what you deserve? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have gotten far more than I deserve. They stress that I was born a White male, that I have been healthy, that I avoided the draft, that I got married, that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, that we did not become foster parents, that etc. In my defense, 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.)
