MCCLATCHY DC
— Federal election agency gets complaint on DuPage Policy Journal – AP
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article107700547.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of several startup newspapers tied to a conservative Illinois activist has been challenged in a federal complaint as a Republican mouthpiece, meaning it should count as a campaign contribution. Kim Savage, a Democrat from the Chicago suburb of Darien, argues in a Federal Election Commission filing that the DuPage Policy Journal is not an independent newspaper, but controlled by businessman and radio talk-show host Dan Proft through his political action committee, Liberty Principles PAC, which got a $2.5 million contribution last June from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The paper is one of 14 co-owned by Proft that appeared last spring before the state’s primary elections. The complaint, filed last week in Washington, maintains the DuPage Policy Journal is illegally coordinating with GOP congressional candidate Tonia Khouri and that its publication costs should be reported as political contributions in her race to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Bill Foster. The PAC, Proft, Khouri for Congress and the Khouri campaign treasurer are named in the FEC document. It contends the DuPage paper is not entitled to a press exemption from campaign finance laws because it’s run by a political organization, is not published regularly, is sent to doorsteps or left in high traffic areas for free and includes “coordinated communications” with a candidate that the law bars for so-called independent expenditure committees. “I’m really concerned about all the dark money from special interest groups and their influence on elections,” said Savage, a former College of DuPage board member. She said she thought the newspaper “was a local, grassroots thing and I was kind of appalled when I found out it was a special interest group that publishes it.” Proft called the FEC complaint “factually incorrect in every possible way,” primarily because the papers are now owned by a private company called Local Government Information Services. According to records filed with the secretary of state’s office, Local Government Information Services incorporated on Aug. 15. “It’s a legitimate newspaper just like any other newspaper,” Proft told The Associated Press. “I’ll put the stories we do on politics and policy up against any other newspaper in the state.” The FEC must seek a response from the targets of the complaints within 15 days, then review those and decide whether to investigate further. There’s no expedited process despite the Nov. 8 election. Proft, a drive-time AM radio talk show host in Chicago who ran for the Republican nomination for governor in 2010, began publishing the newspapers last spring. According to the complaint, they are distributed in 14 areas, including DuPage County; Springfield; Chicago’s north, northwest, and south suburbs; the Quad Cities and the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis. Liberty Principles PAC, which Proft says is not participating in any federal races, was named in complaints about three of the newspapers — two in Chicago’s northern suburbs and one in downstate Cumberland County — filed during the primary election with the Illinois State Board of Elections. The papers were alleged to have improperly engaged in coordinating messages with legislative candidates and had not attributed their funding source. Documents indicate the board found the “coordinated communications” complaints were filed on “justifiable grounds” but took no action. In two cases, it ordered Liberty Principles PAC to include a “paid for by” disclaimer in future issues. Khouri campaign manager John Cooney issued a statement calling the federal complaint “a desperate attempt by Bill Foster and his cronies to divert attention” from issues such as protecting Social Security and Medicare and creating good-paying jobs. Foster, running for his fourth nonconsecutive term, declined comment.)

THE NATION
— Inequality Is Still the Defining Issue of Our Time Fierce battles over trade, labor rights, and executive compensation will determine whether we can really narrow the gap. – Robert L. Borosage (DIERSEN: What would your superiors say that they did to fight inequality? My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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 $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

WAND
— 1,000 Illinois residents pledging for National Service Recognition Day (DIERSEN: What “service” do you provide? Since 2000, I have sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising. Since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning; since 2015, they have gone out each and every evening too; and they have included links to more than 247,500 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wandtv.com/story/33368316/1000-illinois-residents-pledging-for-national-service-recognition-day
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner is declaring October 12 National Service Recognition Day, and one thousand residents will be turning out to celebrate helping their communities. A celebration will begin at 9 AM at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield. Volunteers will receive training and recognition at the center then head out to do several projects benefiting many Springfield organizations including the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois, the Central Illinois Blood Center and many more. There will also be a parade at the Old State Capitol starting at 3:15 PM. Serve Illinois Executive Director Scott McFarland will lead the members in the AmeriCorps and Senior Corps pledges at the Old State Capitol, during which volunteers will proclaim their commitment to a year of service to Illinois. The event will also celebrate a national milestone of the one-millionth AmeriCorps Member to serve since 1994. 2,200 current AmeriCorps members have dedicated a year to helping communities meet their unmet economic, education, health, public safety or environmental needs. Members receive a living allowance, student loan deferment and training. Since 1994, 37,000 Illinois residents have served more than 52 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $1.3 billion. Senior Corps Members use their experience to support communities through the RSVP, Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions programs. These 55 years and older volunteers serve as mentors, coaches and companions to people in need. There are more than 11,000 seniors serving. For more information on Serve Illinois, or to find one of more than 2,5000 volunteer opportunities in the state, visit the organization’s website.)

I should write a book about those who hate Corvettes and who hate Corvette owners. Then I should write a book about those who hate American nameplate vehicles and who hate those who own American nameplate vehicles.)
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/300484-biden-powell-to-drag-race-on-jay-lenos-car-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Biden and former Secretary of State Colin Powell will drag race to kick off season two of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” on Nov. 9, the network announced Tuesday. Biden and Leno will also discuss the vice president’s beloved 1967 Corvette before he battles Powell, but the network did not specify which car models Biden and Powell would race against one another. CNBC added Biden and Powell’s appearance is the first of six new episodes of “Jay Leno’s Garage” airing this year. Other notable guest appearances during the upcoming six-episode season include comedian Jerry Seinfeld, actor Patrick Dempsey, country star Brad Paisley and NASCAR driver Joey Lagano. The vice president called himself “a car junkie” while visiting the Detroit auto show in 2014, speaking about his father’s work managing a pair of car dealerships. Biden showered praise on the Corvette Z06 during his appearance, praising the sports car’s engine power and speed. “I just want you to know that the ’67 was zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds,” he said in Detroit. “I didn’t do that…but it was. But this new Corvette, Z06, is zero to 60, allegedly, in 3.4 seconds.” Organizers behind the Draft Biden 2016 super PAC, meanwhile, also released merchandize last year that featured Biden cruising in a Corvette. The groups “ridin’ with Biden” logo depicted the vice president sporting aviator glasses behind the steering wheel.)

— Roskam flip-flops on Trump; now undecided – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps make it clear that they will get rid of you if you vote for Trump.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161011/news/161019760/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just hours after saying U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam was planning to vote for Donald Trump, spokesman David Pasch on Tuesday rescinded the remark. Instead, Pasch released a written statement saying Roskam is undecided on how he will vote Nov. 8. “Hillary Clinton has already disqualified herself by her actions and deeds,” Pasch wrote in an email Tuesday afternoon. “Donald Trump has 28 days left to convince him (Roskam) that he’s the right person to fix our broken tax code, bring accountability to the federal government, and restore American leadership to the world stage.” The statement is very different from what Pasch wrote in a Tuesday morning email. “I can confirm he is still planning to vote for Donald Trump,” the earlier email said. The confusion comes as other GOP leaders are distancing themselves from Trump after a video surfaced last week of a 2005 conversation in which the reality TV star talked about trying to have sex with a married woman and being able to grope women. Roskam, a Wheaton Republican, on Monday called Trump’s comments and the attitude they reflect “disgusting and corrosive.” Last week — days before the scandal broke — Roskam said the election is a “binary choice” and he was planning to vote for Trump. He said he views Trump as a “wild card” who he was “choosing to vote for … over the unworthy candidate.” Roskam said Trump has made comments during the campaign that he doesn’t agree with. He also said he won’t defend “every wild statement” Trump makes.)

— Changing patterns – Mark Mellman (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, colleges focus on cranking out “good little Democrats” who despise, if not hate, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://thehill.com/opinion/mark-mellman/299299-mellman-changing-patterns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Much has been written about the increasing proportion of the electorate that is made up of minorities: African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and others. While Republicans’ grassroots hostility to diversity makes life very difficult for the GOP at the presidential level, important and under-discussed transformations have impacted white voters as well. The share of noncollege-educated whites has been cut in half since 1980. When Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter, nearly two-thirds of the electorate was made up of noncollege-educated whites. By 2012, that number had shrunk to just 37 percent. Meanwhile, as minority participation has risen, white college graduates’ share of the electorate has remained stable, so that in 2012, white voters divided about evenly between college and noncollege graduates. That dramatic change in educational attainment presents profound political implications. Pew’s recently published compendium of party identification data helps sort through the numbers. In 1992, whites without college experience were more likely to identify as Democrats than as Republicans by a 9-point margin. In the quarter-century since, party identification among noncollege whites was closely contested, with Democrats holding on to a few more in some years and Republicans edging ahead in others. Beginning in 2008, the GOP margin with noncollege whites increased substantially, reaching 26 points this year. Despite what some would have you believe, this is not wholly an effect of Donald Trump. While the GOP advantage reached its current zenith this year, it had been moving strongly in that direction for the past eight. At the same time, a wholly opposite process is at work among whites who have graduated from college. In 1992, whites with a college degree were even more Republican than whites without a degree were Democratic. College-educated whites identified with the Republican Party by an 11-point margin when Bill Clinton defeated George H.W. Bush. But, beginning in 2004, that gap narrowed substantially — today, Democrats enjoy a 1-point edge with college-educated whites. That margin is fueled, importantly, by those with post-graduate experience. What was an even split in 1992 has grown into a 12-point Democratic advantage among those with a post-graduate education. So while Republicans are, and have been, making gains with noncollege whites, they are suffering continuing — albeit smaller — defections from whites who hold a college degree. In the long run, that’s bad news for the GOP, because while whites continue to shrink as a proportion of the electorate, noncollege whites — Republicans’ real base — are shrinking, too. Over the last 20 years, the percent of whites with a bachelor’s degree or more increased at about two-thirds of a percentage point a year, or 2.7 points every four years. Before conservatives start yelling about the liberal academic elite, it is worth noting that there is significant controversy about the magnitude and mechanism of what happens to political attitudes on campus.)

— Millennial traits shape economy Millennials aren’t big spenders or risk takers, and that’s going to reshape the economy – Don Lee (DIERSEN: What did you spend your money on when you were under 35? For me, it was college expenses, new cars, real estate, etc. What risks did you take when you were under 35? For me, it was seeking and accepting draft deferments; earning a job-related bachelor’s degree and two job-related master’s degrees; passing the CPA examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examination; becoming a licensed CPA; not becoming a Democrat; accepting job offers from Firestone Stores, Oldsmobile, IRS, and GAO; getting married; etc.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-millennials-economy-20161010-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They’re known for bouncing around jobs, delaying marriage and holing up in their parents’ basements. Dubbed recently as the “children of the Great Recession” by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, millennials are the best educated and most diverse population of young people in U.S. history. They are also perhaps the most coddled, some would say spoiled. As they emerge this year as the United States’ largest demographic group — some 75 million strong — millennials are taking up the mantle as the most impactful generation since the baby boomers. Their influence has started slowly, due largely to the economic instability that has left many struggling to find good-paying jobs and saddled with staggering student loan debt. But millennials — adults under 35 — are certain to shape the economy for decades to come. And their coming of age in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression has bred distinct traits that could pose special challenges for the nation’s future growth and prosperity. For starters, millennials are not big spenders, at least not in the traditional sense. Millennials tend to prefer experiences over buying things and accumulating stuff. To them, an impressive selfie capturing a memorable moment is, in some sense, as enviable as a new car or fancy watch was to their parents.)

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Who’s losing on legal gambling? Looks like those who can least afford it – Editorial (DIERSEN: Gambling is a vice. If you promote gambling, you promote vice.)
http://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/editorials/who-s-losing-on-legal-gambling-looks-like-those-who/article_188cbdb8-38e8-5c5a-95b2-fa2409cc1cce.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During the first eight months of the year, gamblers dropped $18.9 million into video poker machines in the city of Kankakee. Daily Journal senior reporter Lee Provost recently reported on video poker totals in his weekly business column. The numbers were sobering — and staggering. In Kankakee, $4.3 million was “lost” in the machines. Ask yourself this. Who can afford to lose $4.3 million? The totals wagered from Kankakee add up to roughly all the totals from Aroma Park, $811,751; Bradley, $8.5 million; Bourbonnais, $1.8 million; Manteno, $6.3 million; and Momence, $2 million — combined. Here’s what this tells you. A disproportionate number of the terminals, or the wagers, or both, are coming from middle class and lower middle class areas. Does it make sense that Kankakee’s wagers are 10 times those of Bourbonnais? When video gambling was legalized, the initial thought seemed to be to help out small restaurants and taverns. Instead, what has happened is the creation of mini-professional storefronts that have rows of machines. A discussion of Aroma Park’s experience indicated that is where the money is flowing now. One mainstream Aroma Park restaurant no longer operates its machines. In addition, one local mayor quoted indicated that she had not seen many cars in front of one wagering establishment. Translation: It might be that a small number of people are losing a lot of money. Moreover, the amounts wagered are escalating rapidly — up by a third or more in half a dozen communities. Now, we would not want to be Carry Nation with the ax, crusading against demon rum. It would be impossible to go back to no gambling. But a wide range of studies estimates that somewhere from 1 to 2 percent of the population can be classified as being “problem gamblers.” These are people who don’t know when to stop, and show up to follow a bad day with another long session to get even. So, in the pile of proceeds being raked in by the state, we ask a question: Is enough money being set aside to help those who will need help? Much like cigarette taxes, the government seems to need and relish the money. Unlike tobacco, are we warning people enough?)

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/11/business/dealbook/were-he-seeking-any-other-job-hr-would-flag-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump describes himself as a businessman. And he says he wants to run the government more like a business. But would any business hire Mr. Trump? It isn’t a trivial question. Given the Republican presidential nominee’s vulgar boasts about sexually assaulting women and trying to coerce a woman to commit adultery with him — among other things — it is hard to believe he could get past the human resources department of a Fortune 500 company. Over the last decade, much of corporate America has put in place strict policies to deal with sexual harassment and other offensive behavior, trying to make amends for an abhorrent history of letting such conduct go unchecked (remember “Mad Men”?). Hiring procedures at large companies, particularly for senior positions, include extensive background checks, which typically include interviewing former colleagues and combing through articles, court records and, yes, social media. Thousands of employees have been fired or pushed out for using far less repugnant language than Mr. Trump’s words about how he gropes women. Walmart, the nation’s largest employer, with some 2.2 million employees, has explicit policies, for example, that prohibit “sexually explicit language, off-color jokes, remarks about a person’s body” as well as “using slurs or negative stereotyping,” “verbal kidding, teasing or joking” and “intimidating acts, such as bullying or threatening.” By those definitions, it is not clear if Mr. Trump would qualify to be hired as a janitor, let alone a senior executive. A spokesman for Walmart, asked whether Mr. Trump’s comments would disqualify him from employment there, said: “We’ve got a policy of not entertaining hypotheticals.” Mr. Trump has apologized for his language, which he described as “locker room talk.” But he used the language while on the job; he was recorded on a live microphone while working to promote “The Apprentice,” his popular reality show.)

— Count Trump Among the Takers – BRYCE COVERT (DIERSEN: Are you a taker? Should everyone be required to publicly disclose how much federal income tax that they have paid in each of the last 10, 20, 30, 40, 50+ years? Since 1978, my wife and I have paid more federal income tax because we pay the marriage penalty. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_penalty)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/11/opinion/campaign-stops/count-trump-among-the-takers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because Donald J. Trump hasn’t released his tax returns, we don’t know exactly what portion of his fortune he has sent the federal government. But in the second presidential debate, he confirmed that there were a number of years where he paid nothing at all. A week ago, The Times published his partial state tax returns from 1995 that show a substantial business loss that could have allowed him to avoid paying income taxes for nearly two decades. When asked by the moderator Anderson Cooper whether he indeed used the loss to get out of a tax bill, Mr. Trump replied, “Of course I do.” But rather than attempt to convince the American people that he had paid his fair share of taxes, Mr. Trump has vociferously defended the virtue of his ways, even arguing that paying nothing makes him fit to be president. “That makes me smart,” he retorted when presented with the idea during the first presidential debate. He told the Fox host Bill O’Reilly two days later, “A lot of people say, ‘That’s the kind of thinking that I want running this nation.’ ” He’s now calling it “brilliant.” Mr. Trump’s assertion that people should pay as little as they can in taxes — because, as he told Mr. O’Reilly, the government will “waste the money” — fits with quite an old conservative ideology. The government is bloated, inefficient and trampling on freedoms, the thinking goes; therefore, it deserves as little of our tax money to prop it up as possible. It’s no coincidence that Mr. Trump proposed a tax cut during the primary that was unprecedented, costing the government about double the revenue as would have been lost to Mitt Romney’s plan.)

Phil Wire says they did hand out 27 tickets counting Saturday and Sunday at the park. Four of them were for having small amounts of pot while the rest of the tickets were either for alcohol or being caught off the trails. Governor Bruce Rauner and his wife hiked about five miles at Starved Rock Saturday according to Wire. While walking with the governor, police nabbed a dozen other hikers for being off the trails.

(Stetzer does not serve on the council.) James MacDonald, pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, a nondenominational evangelical church in Rolling Meadows, Ill., wrote the email to several members of Trump’s faith council, his campaign liaison and to some who oppose Trump’s candidacy.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— GOP women stand by Trump, blast those jumping ship over ‘antique locker-room talk’ – Ralph Z. Hallow
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/9/republican-women-stand-by-donald-trump-blast-those/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Demetra DeMonte, an RNC member from Illinois and former national secretary of the RNC, led off the female Trump brigade’s counterattack by dispatching a letter to the other 167 RNC members reasserting her support for Mr. Trump. “Donald J. Trump is not going to step down — nor should he,” Mrs. DeMonte wrote. “He is our lawfully elected nominee.” She argued that although she does not condone the “inappropriate language” he had used while talking with then “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush in 2005, unaware that the microphones they were wearing were recording their sex talk about women, the billionaire developer was “not the first nor will he be the last to utter foul language in the privacy of their home or locker rooms.” . . . Mrs. DeMonte, the Illinois RNC member, countered, said that Mrs. Clinton’s comments Saturday that she was disgusted by her opponent’s language was like the Captain Renault in “Casablanca” claiming that he is “shocked, shocked” that gambling is going on in Rick’s Cafe. “Hillary,” Mrs. DeMonte said, is “the consummate hypocrite, who while first lady barraged her own Secret Service detail with unspeakably foul language — the very same men who put their lives on the line for hers. Such hypocrisy!” . . . Mrs. DeMonte said party leaders should compare the two candidates’ full records in the wake of the latest controversy. “Mr. Trump may be guilty of uttering foul language — but Hillary is guilty of committing foul deeds, deeds, if she were anyone else, would have resulted in prison time,” Mrs. DeMonte said, citing the deletion of “thousands of documents which she knew was illegal” and refusing “multiple cries for help from our ambassador that resulted in his murder, along with three brave Americans” in Benghazi, Libya. Mrs. DeMonte averred that Mrs. Clinton as a lawyer “laughed when she got off a rapist of a 12-year-old girl — while knowing all along her client was guilty of rape. That is on tape, too.” Why, she asked don’t the news media “play that audio?”)

DIERSEN NOTE: I have discontinued using “anti-Trumps say” because as everyone knows, virtually everyone in the paid media is not only anti-Trump, but anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.

October 8 Evening Edition

DIERSEN NOTE: Just because someone reports what anti-Trumps say does not necessarily mean that person is anti-Trump. For example, Diersen reports what anti-Trumps say, but Diersen is not anti-Trump. Everyone should know what is in the public realm concerning government and politics, and the sooner the better. As everyone knows, virtually everyone in the paid media is anti-Trump.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Bolingbrook mayor Roger Claar backs Trump, other Illinois pols not forgiving.”
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/bolingbrook-mayor-roger-claar-still-backing-trump-despite-video/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many Republicans are backing away from Donald Trump in the wake of video showing the GOP presidential candidate making lewd comments about women, but Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar isn’t one of them. A week after hosting a fundraiser that netted Trump $1.5 million— and hours after video recorded during a 2005 appearance on “Access Hollywood” in which the candidate talks about his pursuit of a married woman and groping women— Claar said he’s still backing Trump over Hillary Clinton. “I can’t say (Trump’s statements) doesn’t bother me,” Claar said Saturday in a phone interview while he waited for a flight at a Florida airport. “But I also read excerpts from Hillary’s email that is also somewhat unfortunate.” Meanwhile, other Illinois politicians weren’t so forgiving. Congressman Rodney Davis, a Republican representing central and southwest Illinois, called for Trump to drop out of the race. Rep. John Shimkus, a Republican from southern Illinois issued a statement Saturday saying he was “profoundly disappointed and disgusted by Donald Trump’s comments.” Gov. Bruce Rauner did not attend this year’s GOP convention and has not endorsed Trump, but has said he would support the Republican nominee. Sen. Mark Kirk, locked in a close race for reelection against Democrat Tammi Duckworth, has also called for his party to drop Trump as a candidate. Claar on Saturday admitted video of Trump in 2005 bragging about groping women and courting a married acquaintance has shaken some of those who paid to be in the crowd of 350 when Trump visited the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Among those in attendance at the fundraiser in the country club’s Reagan Room: Todd Ricketts, head of a conservative super PAC and a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs; Weather Tech CEO Dave McNeil; and Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton. Claar, who began a trip to Cuba Friday night and missed the early coverage of Trump’s remarks recorded during a 2005 appearance on Access Hollywood, said he got a text from one of the donors who attended last week’s Trump fundraiser. “He said ‘Well, it’s over,’” Claar said Saturday as he waited for a flight in Florida. “I texted him ‘Why? What happened?’ and he said ‘Google Trump and comments and video’” “It’s unfortunate,” Claar said. “But it’s not like he’s the first person in the world that’s ever said that stuff.” Claar said that his discouraged Trump donor also texted him again Saturday after reading about Hillary Clinton campaign emails released by WikiLeaks. “He said ‘He’s back in it,’” Claar said. “That’s how fast this thing is moving.” In the video, Trump is apparently unaware that his conversation with former “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush is being recorded, as Trump confides that he did “try and f–k” a married woman, and that his fame allowed him to grope women with impunity. “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab ’em in the p-ssy. You can do anything,” Trump said. The hacker group WikiLeaks on Friday also released emails from Clinton’s campaign staff that included excerpts from Clinton’s remarks in speeches she made to trade groups after leaving her post as Secretary of State, with the staffers themselves noting that her statements could be used to make Clinton appear overly cozy with the finance industry. “(Trump’s) language is unfortunate, but (Hillary Clinton’s) actions are questionable ethically,” Claar said. “They’re both challenged candidates. “Hillary tolerates the same thing from her husband abusing women for years, while he was president, and nobody talks about that.” Illinois Republicans have generally been lukewarm in their support for Trump even as the billionaire steadily dispatched his challengers during the primaries— including an 8-point in Illinois in March.)

— Lawsuit claims Yahoo ousted male employees – Jon Swartz (DIERSEN: In 1989, GAO instituted its pay-for-performance system to get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/10/07/lawsuit-claims-yahoo-ousted-male-employees/91724590/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A second man has filed a lawsuit alleging Marissa Mayer and other top Yahoo female executives discriminated in favor of women in their hiring, firing and promotions in the company’s editorial division. Scott Ard, who worked for more than three years at Yahoo until early 2015, says he and others were terminated to “accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions, to the detriment of Yahoo’s male employees,” according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in San Jose, Calif., this week. The suit alleges the performance-rating system, fostered by Mayer, resulted in a rapid succession of individual layoffs, which violates the U.S. and California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) acts that require advance notification of mass layoffs.)
