ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH
— Protesters call on Edwardsville to remove statue of town’s namesake – Joel Currier (DIERSEN: Crete is my hometown. I lived there 1948-1972. My ancestors on my father’s side have lived there since 1854. My brother continues to live there in a house that my grandfather had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864.)

(FROM ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHICAGO: Crete, Will County, 30 miles S of the Loop. Located just south of Cook County, Crete grew alongside the wagon road known as Vincennes or Hubbard’s Trail, later the route of the Dixie Highway and Illinois Route 1. Among the first landowners were the family of Willard and Diantha Wood, who arrived in 1836. By the mid-1840s a small market center had developed in the community known as Wood’s Corners. In 1843, Wood served as the first postmaster and selected the name Crete from the New Testament writings of St. Paul. Wood platted the village in 1849, served in elected positions, donated land for churches, and built a frequently used hotel. Immigrant Germans arrived in the 1840s and 1850s. Into the twentieth century, German could be heard as often as English in Crete. Due mainly to families associated with the Congregational Church, Crete was a key stopping point on the Underground Railroad, and strong abolitionist sentiment led to a large enlistment for the Civil War. Initial businesses related to farming, with a woodworking plant established in 1869. Also in 1869, the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad came through Crete, connecting to markets in Chicago.

Which Republican homes, businesses, buildings, etc. in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county will the Democrats destroy?)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/10/30/shut-down-dc-targets-conservative-organizations-as-trump-boosters/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shut Down D.C., a progressive group that says it uses “strategic direct action to advance justice and hold officials accountable,” is targeting at least 27 conservative organizations in the Washington metro area as Election Day approaches. An interactive map from Shut Down D.C. lists as “Trump boosters” a range of organizations, including The Heritage Foundation, the parent organization of The Daily Signal. Other groups listed include Americans for Prosperity, Competitive Enterprise Institute, FreedomWorks, Leadership Institute, National Taxpayers Union, Republican Jewish Coalition, and UrbanCURE. (The complete list is below.) Shut Down D.C.’s map contains the address, phone number, and website for each listed group. It also shows the location of media organizations, technology companies, and government offices in Washington, D.C. The left-wing group’s website boasts that “we’re getting ready for an uprising. Now’s the time to get involved so we’re ready to hit the streets.” Shut Down D.C.’s election week plan includes three phases: assembling on Nov. 3 at Black Lives Matter Plaza, taking action in the streets from Nov. 4-7, and targeting members of Congress when they return to Washington on Nov. 8. “Affinity groups may want to start now to plan actions that confronting [sic] targets who need to be disrupted regardless of what is playing out with the vote count (Department of Justice, ICE, RNC, etc.),” the website warns. On Friday, Shut Down D.C. retweeted a tweet from an account called Earth Guardians that said: “If you’re planning on taking to the streets on election day, @ShutDown_DC has lots of trainings to make sure you have the tools to stay safe and knowledgable [sic] of your rights. Check out the list of trainings below. https://shutdowndc.org/calendar #shutdowndc #earthguardians.”)

BLOOMBERG
— A Top Facebook Ad Spender Points to a Conservative News Site That’s Not News – Joshua Brustein (DIERSEN: Unlike my critics/opponents and their websites, on www.gopillinois.com , I stress the source, tittle, author, and hyperlink of articles.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2020-10-30/a-top-facebook-ad-spender-points-to-a-conservative-news-site-that-s-not-news
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Herald’s homepage is laid out like a typical news site, featuring dispatches from across the country, including “Trump Does Right by Floridian Families,” “President Trump Is Fighting for North Carolina Families,” and “President Trump is Fighting for Wisconsin Workers and Families.” Unlike most journalism outlets, American Herald doesn’t say who writes its articles; each one is either attributed to “American Herald Staff” or has no byline at all. A search on LinkedIn for Herald writers didn’t turn up a single one. The Herald is in fact run by America First Action itself, something the PAC isn’t hiding. At the bottom of the site is a disclosure that includes a non-clickable link to the PAC’s main site. Kelly Sadler—the PAC’s spokeswoman whose previous jobs include stints in the Trump administration and as a reporter at Bloomberg News—declined to answer specific questions about the Herald, but did say she would “love to tell you more about it after the Election as a post-mortem.” Disclosures aside, the Herald allows its owners to promote pro-Trump messaging in a format that takes on the shape of actual journalism. While America First Action pays to spread the site’s content, it is also designed to spread on its own as well. Social media sites tend to display information from all websites in ways that make them seem equally credible, and both America First Action and rank-and-file users are sharing articles as though they are news reports. The disclosures at the bottom of the site don’t show up on Twitter or Facebook when someone shares an article. It’s not hard to tell the site is a sham, but it can be difficult to resist suspending disbelief when someone is telling you what you want to hear. While the Herald is styled to look like journalism, it’s lacking in substance. Some articles prominently display out-of-context quotes that fact-checkers have described as misleading. Sadler acknowledged that Facebook has put disclaimers on some of America First Action’s ads, based on what she describes as “bogus fact checks.” The site’s Twitter account has been suspended, though neither Sadler nor a Twitter Inc. spokesman would explain why. While this kind of pretend reporting is directly connected to November’s election, it’s also a result of how the tech industry has reshaped the way people get news. The economics of digital journalism have gutted traditional outlets, especially those that cover local issues. Partisan organizations are increasingly eager to step into their place. Left-leaning digital strategy organization Acronym has started a handful of news websites focused on local news, and a recent New York Times investigation detailed a network of well over 1,000 websites where conservative political groups and corporate public relations firms can pay to dictate coverage. Whether the Herald survives much past November, its model for repackaging political messaging seems here to stay. “There is a big void,” said Penny Muse Abernathy, a professor of journalism and digital media economics at the University of North Carolina. “And what the void does is is push you over to your social media.”)

— Evanston/Skokie school district’s anti-racism plan for in-person learning sparks debate – Ash-har Quraishi (DIERSEN: What unfair advantages in life do your critics/opponents say that you have had? My critic/opponents stress that 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. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if my parents had sent me to the public grade school in Crete, UIC would not have accepted me in 1966.)
https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/school-districts-anti-racism-plan-for-in-person-learning-sparks-debate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We have to make sure that students, who have been oppressed, that we don’t continue to oppress them, and we give them opportunity,” said school superintendent Dr. Devon Horton of the Evanston/Skokie school district in late July. “We will be targeting our dependent learners – those are students who are marginalized first,” he said. Low-income students, special needs and those dealing with homelessness are just some who will be first in line. There have been angry letters, petitions and even death threats to the superintendent and school board. “Understanding that other folks are experiencing more vulnerability and more harm than my family is experiencing,” says Anya Tanyavutti, a parent of two and the Evanston district’s school board president. “I’m happy to see those resources go to people who need it more.” For the last four years, the Evanston school district has been working on implementing anti-racism resolutions and curricula to address inequity. “Taking an anti-racist stance requires some sort of sacrifice,” says Dr. Onnie Rogers a professor at Northwestern University’s school of Education and Social Policy. “I think that’s really the part of racial equity that our country is still getting used to on the ground.” Here in Evanston, the achievement gap does fall along racial lines where Black and Latino students are one-third as likely as white students to meet college readiness benchmarks.)

— DuPage County Election Judge Fired After Allegedly Stealing Political Signs Beverly Johnson, of Villa Park, was charged with theft and criminal damage to property, both class A misdemeanors.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/dupage-county-election-judge-fired-after-allegedly-stealing-political-signs/2361977/
(FROM THE DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE: Democrat Election Judge Beverly Johnston was arrested yesterday for stealing campaign signs erected by District 2 County Board Member Republican nominee Sean Noonan. Villa Park police arrested Johnston, who was found to be in possession of campaign signs of other Republican candidates at the time, as she was in the process of removing Noonan’s 16 square foot sign that was securely anchored in front of Midland Plumbing & Sewer 187 E. North Avenue in the Village of Villa Park. “As a police officer and current county board member who makes a point of campaigning fairly and honestly, this type of illegal behavior is shocking coming from a Judge, even if she is only a limited authority election Judge. She still takes an oath to uphold the law,” said Noonan. DuPage County Republican Chairman Jim Zay has asked candidates and volunteers to document all cases of sign theft and vandalism since September 1st. “We have a large number of Cook County Democrat political operatives and Madigan’s Chicago precinct swarming all over DuPage County practicing machine politics and we expect this from them because that’s how they were taught to campaign — illegally,” said Zay. “I am as amazed as anyone that an election Judge duly appointed by the DuPage County Clerk would resort to this kind of action while she is supposed to be an honest, fair and impartial part of the election system.” The Police Report number assigned by the Villa Park Police Department in the Johnston case is VPPC2002506.)

https://www.heraldnews.com/news/20201030/i-dont-trust-them-young-fall-river-voters-look-beyond-traditional-media-to-inform-their-voting-decisions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They rarely read or listen to actual news reports, but most of them are ready to cast their votes on Nov. 3. Six young adults, who live or work in the Fall River area, were asked if they could identify any news or media outlet that might have informed and influenced them, as to whether they’ll vote for President Donald Trump or Joe Biden on Election Day. Five of the six said they rely nearly exclusively on social media sites for political insight, while one says she favors listening to the British Broadcasting Corporation for the latest news. None of them said they pay much attention to American mainstream media. “I don’t trust them. There’s a lot of slant in the media,” said Robert Perry, who works for Epicurean Feast Cafes and manages the cafeteria at Bristol Community College’s Elsbree Street campus. Perry, 28, says he began to adopt a cynical view of national news media outlets even before Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.)

TORONTO STOREYS
— Nearly a Quarter of Millennials Expect $100K from Family to Be Able to Purchase a Home – Kayla Gladysz (DIERSEN: I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned and saved a) working for IRS in Harvey for the prior 9 months and in Chicago for 6 months before that and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for the prior 18 months part-time and for 7 months before that full-time. That money also enabled me to a) buy a new Corvette in 1971 and b) pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola.)
https://torontostoreys.com/first-time-homebuyers-survey-bmo-millennials-family-support-mortgages/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a new survey from BMO Bank of Montreal conducted by Pollara Strategic Insights, 56% of participants said they would seek help from family as they geared up to purchase their first home. Prospective buyers in Ontario were second-most likely to look for financial assistance, as 58% of respondents declared they would do so. British Columbia’s home-hunters took the top spot; there, 59% said they’d seek aid. What’s more, Millennials (an arguably debatable age range, but defined by Pew Research Center as those born between 1981 and 1996) were more likely to search for financial assistance than those defined as Gen X (individuals born between ’65 and ’80). While who is seeking support in making the big (literally and figurative) move is interesting, what might be even more intriguing is just how much these could-be-buyers are looking to obtain from external sources. Among those looking for financial aid, nearly 25% are seeking between $10,000 and $50,000; on average, first-time buyers are questing after $44,500 in assistance. But Millennials aren’t stopping there. According to the survey, 23%, or nearly a quarter of buyers in this age range, are expecting $100,000 or more in financial support as they prepare to purchase a home.)

Join literary historian Dr. Caroline Kisiel and sociologist Dr. Brian Miller for an historical overview of the state’s relationship to race.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At its founding as a state in 1818, Illinois passed its constitution as a free state. But slavery had existed in the region for centuries, and its impact on American approaches to race affected counties in Southern Illinois for decades after incorporation. As Illinois grew as a state, this later affected suburbs outside Chicago, including Wheaton.)

— DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Launches Internal Probe After Staff Are Seen Dining Inside Restaurant, Against Governor’s Orders – Charlie De Mar
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/10/27/dupage-county-sheriffs-indoor-dining-investigation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CBS 2 started asking questions, and it sparked an internal investigation within the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has obtained the photos that have the department asking its own why they may have been eating inside a local restaurant – despite Gov. JB Pritzker’s orders not to. Photos taken in front of the Verdict Restaurant in Wheaton were sent to CBS 2 this week. They show a DuPage County Sheriff’s squad car, along with the department’s community service volunteer, parked in front of the restaurant. “We are right across from the courthouse, so the 99 percent of the people that are telling us to stay open work for the county,” said Verdict Restaurant owner Anna Sarantopoulos. Sarantopoulous chose to keep serving inside despite the governor’s order to stop, and she acknowledges the DuPage County Sheriff’s personnel sat inside this week. The department is only about a mile from the restaurant. “I can’t babysit a law enforcement officer. Do you know what I mean?” Sarantopoulos said. “They came in to support the Verdict. You know what I mean? I’m not the one to say, ‘Oh I can serve everybody else in the community but I can’t serve you.’ That’s not my place.” Late Monday, Sarantopoulous received a non-compliance notice from the DuPage County Health Department. She was threatened with a misdemeanor if the struggling restaurant continues to serve inside. “Our question is why us and not all the other the surrounding restaurants in the area?” Sarantopoulos said. “We’re trying to keep our staff. We’re trying to keep all our employees. We’re trying to pay the rent.” The DuPage County Sheriff’s Department said after we asked about the photos, an internal investigation started. “They have a boss. They have their own bosses. If the bosses wanted to tell them, ‘Do not go into any of the local restaurants,’ then they should have,” Sarantopoulos said. “Their boss should have reiterated and said, ‘Hey guys, be careful where you go eat.’ But not me. Not my place.” The DuPage County Health Department said they have contacted 13 restaurants in the area for indoor dining complaints.)

— Official On Why He Resigned From Federal Salary Council (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government demanded “political loyalty.” They got rid of their employees who were not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. The planks in the Democrat Party platform that they demanded the most loyalty to were the ones that called for the federal government to give preference to its employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/official-why-he-resigned-federal-salary-council#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government here in Washington and around the country is run by civil servants – people who provide consistency, deep expertise, even as administrations change. The idea is that politicians and their political appointees may come and go, but thousands of lawyers and scientists and other specialists – they stay put. Well, a new executive order issued by President Trump puts tens of thousands of those jobs at risk, prompting our next guest to resign in protest, writing that Trump’s order is, quote, “nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the president or, failing that, to enable their removal with little, if any, due process,” end quote. Those are the words of Ron Sanders. He resigned yesterday as chair of the Federal Salary Council, and he joins us now.)

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2020/10/top-down-white-penitence-is-shaking-up-and-roiling-the-american-workplace.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A white physician working in Raleigh, North Carolina, says he has participated in multiple diversity training exercises—including two in the last two years—without a fuss. But he was taken aback when his employer, Duke University Health System, said this summer it will roll out a comprehensive strategy to purge the last vestiges of racism from the workplace. The way it looks to him, Duke basically wants him to admit he’s a racist and repent. Like a growing number of organizations around the country responding to the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, Duke is adopting anti-racist advocacy as an organizational mission. That mission doesn’t mention time-honored workplace goals like color-blindness, meritocracy, or equal opportunity; instead, its target is the so-called complicity of America and its citizens in “structural racism,” “oppression,” and denialism.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What do you say to those who blame “Republican leaders” for the success that Democrats have had in destroying America’s cities? My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated from what is now Germany to Chicago in 1844. They worked in a brick factory for 10 years and then homesteaded a farm in Crete.
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-10-27/column-why-do-republican-leaders-hate-cities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Stadtluft macht frei” — “city air makes you free” — is a German phrase dating back to the Middle Ages. Legally, it described a rule that if a serf lived in a city for a year and a day, his feudal master could no longer claim him. But the term came to mean more than simply a way of escaping feudal bondage. Cities have long been where the poor and the enterprising go to find opportunity and prosperity, to sculpt their lives amid the economic dynamism that conservatives are supposed to celebrate. Cities are where most immigrants go to pursue the American dream. And it’s not just immigrants from other countries. A good rule of thumb for determining whether a state is trending “red” or “blue” is to look and see if young people are moving in or out.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/26/jared-kushner-criticized-saying-black-people-need-want-successful/6043088002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kushner’s implication that Black Americans lack a drive to succeed and to address the problems facing their community drew criticism that he is blind to his own privilege and that his own success is attributable more to his family’s wealth than his own efforts. “Born on third base, thinks he hit a triple. Few in US history have been given as much wealth or power without having to earn a thing as Jared Kushner,” tweeted Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va. “His father-in-law gave him the position he is failing at miserably, with deadly consequences. We will remember his casual racism.” “Jared Kushner is the face of white privilege and nepotism. He doesn’t want to change our racist, broken system because he benefits from it. He’s the last person that should be lecturing the Black community on the value of ‘hard work,'” said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif.)
