— Sanguinetti Key to Peace With Ives? (DIERSEN: Who a) has lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout, b) knows both Sanguinetti and Ives extremely well, and c) could arrange a productive meeting between the two that would result in a productive meeting between Ives and Rauner?)
http://taylorvilledailynews.com/local-news/355509
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner has a key issue to deal with as the march toward the general election battle with Democrat J.B. Pritzker moves forward. Rauner needs to mend fences with his primary opponent, State Representative Jeannie Ives, or at least her supporters. Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti could be of help in opening a dialogue. The Lt. Governor says she’s no stranger to the West Point grad. (AUDIO CLIP) Sanguinetti has also shared that she opposed legislation Governor Rauner signed that paved the way for state funded abortions. That was one of the key issues that many believe led to Ives’ surge in popularity.)

— Catholic Charities to lead community outreach for Chicago’s CityKey ID – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: To give money to Catholic Charities is to encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/catholic-charities-to-lead-community-outreach-for-chicagos-citykey-id/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last month, now-failed Republican gubernatorial challenger Jeanne Ives joined forces with the City Council’s lone Republican to oppose using the ID to register to vote. Ives argued then that accepting the municipal ID for voter registration “is literally suborning voter fraud. And the political class in the sanctuary city of Chicago is brazen about this fact.” Emanuel was dismissive: “She should just take her Trump rhetoric out of the city. It doesn’t reflect our values.” Days later, a rival bidder made the politically-explosive claim that printing technology used to create the new ID compromises personal information the city promised to keep confidential to shield illegal immigrants from the threat of deportation. Valencia and Chief Procurement Officer Jamie Rhee flatly denied the charge.)

I had enough money not only to eat, but to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) live in the University Plaza in DeKalb for three semesters 1969-1970, d) live in Lincolnshire West Apartments in DeKalb for the summer session in 1970, and e) graduate from NIU in August of 1970 debt-free and owning that 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I had enough money to do the aforesaid a) because my outstanding parents provided me with room and board while I attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969 and b) because I earned and saved money doing yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I was able to do the aforesaid solely because I avoided the draft.)
