— It’s time to look away, look away, look away from ‘Dixie’ – Eric Zorn  (DIERSEN: Just kidding, but not completely. If I sought a government office or a political office, to paint me as being a racist, my critics/opponents, their operatives and their dupes would stress that my ancestors owned land on what was the Dixie Highway in Crete 1864-1966. My great great grandfather, my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father all lived on what was Dixie Highway (Main Street) in Crete. I was born on what was Dixie Highway (St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights) and I lived on what was Dixie Highway (the northeast corner of Main and Exchange) in Crete 1948-1954.

— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Jobs Americans don’t want – Tracy Jan (DIERSEN: What jobs do/did you not want?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have made it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I did. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. Nevertheless, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I was always grossly overpaid. 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.

BLOOMBERG
— House GOP’s Tax-Cut Hopes Ride on Deciding Who Is Middle Class – Anna Edgerton  (DIERSEN: Are you middle class? My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $50,856. My federal health, dental, and vision health subsidy is $17,288, but I have to pay $5,763 to get that subsidy. My Social Security is $2,028.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-13/house-gop-s-tax-cut-hopes-ride-on-deciding-who-is-middle-class
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For some GOP members of Congress, a middle income household tops out at $100,000 a year. For others, a family making $400,000 still deserves a break. . .But even Republicans from the same state can’t agree on the definition. “The middle class is whatever you want it to be in many ways,” said Jim Renacci, an Ohio Republican who sits on the Ways and Means Committee. “I think the middle class, is anywhere from zero to $80,000 to $100,000. That’s really the target zone.” For Warren Davidson, who represents the Ohio district on the outskirts of Cincinnati where the biggest company is AK Steel Corp., middle class families could be those making up to $250,000 a year. “I think for our district, people probably don’t start feeling like they’re middle class until they start earning $40,000 a year, and they probably still feel like they’re middle class up until about a quarter million a year,” Davidson said in an interview. . .The Pew Research Center, for example, classifies the middle class as households making between two-thirds and double the median household income — or between $42,500 and $125,000 for a family of three in 2014. Other definitions consider whether people have a college degree or even their job type. . .A study by the nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center found that most middle-income families would enjoy after-tax gains under the GOP framework, but that taxes would go up for almost 30 percent of people making $50,000 to $150,000. The study said it used brackets outlined in the House GOP tax blueprint released in 2016 — a methodology that Brady and others criticized. . .Representative Peter King said families in his New Jersey district can make as much as $400,000 and still feel like part of the middle class. While he suggested that he’d be open to considering a compromise on state and local tax deductions, he rejected the idea of a cap that kicks in at an annual income of $200,000.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Defense Officer Personnel Management Act is one of the areas on which Spencer wants to focus. That act put into effect the military’s up or out system, which forces service members to promote to the next rank in a certain amount of time or be separated from the military. “If, in fact, we have excellent people in excellent positions, why shouldn’t we find a way to keep that gray matter, that institutional knowledge, that high performing person facing off against that issue and not be penalized that he or she is lost in his class on promotion?” Spencer said.  Letting sailors stay in a particular rank could let them keep doing what they actually love instead of forcing them into a leadership position. In some cases, pilots who want to only fly or sailors who like certain positions on a ship are forced to take on more responsibility as leaders instead of doing the task they joined the Navy to do.)

FAMILY PAC
— A Statement From Paul Caprio About Rauner’s Signing of HB 40
http://mailchi.mp/f553f1874776/statement-from-paul-caprio?e=8dc9fff257
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  About three years ago to this day, I was asked by a supporter to meet with Bruce Rauner in the final stages of his campaign for Illinois governor. I agreed to the meeting, which took place at the Union League Club in Chicago. Family-Pac had not supported Rauner in the Primary, and Rauner had refused to clarify his positions on a host of issues important to all of us. He continued to say that he had no “social agenda.” My friend David Smith of the Illinois Family Institute (IFI) asked that I try to persuade Rauner to complete the IFI candidate questionnaire so that Christian voters across Illinois would be informed of his positions. At our meeting, Rauner said he would not fill out the questionnaire because his “consultants” told him he “had to get every question right to get the “endorsement.” I explained that IFI was a 501(c) (3) organization that did not “endorse” candidates and that no one was looking for “perfection” but only his honest attempt to state his views. Rauner said that he was not filling out any questionnaires (the position also stated by his campaign lieutenants) and that he wanted to keep Personal-Pac “neutralized.” I told him that Personal-Pac and Terry Cosgrove would be running TV spots against him. He seemed surprised. (Shortly thereafter, Personal-Pac TV ads against Rauner began.) This meeting exemplifies the series of lies by Bruce Rauner to Illinois pro-family voters and leaders. First, Rauner said to me that he was not completing any candidate questionnaires—yet this May, after Rauner stated his intention to veto HB 40 (taxpayer-funded abortion), Personal-Pac released a copy of Rauner’s “perfect” questionnaires in which he had pledged to sign taxpayer-funded abortion. In May, after promising Cardinal Cupich that he would veto HB 40, Rauner signed this dastardly bill, which will result in the deaths more than 12,000 innocent victims a year according to reliable estimates. In 50 years, I have never seen a politician as consistently dishonest on family issues as Bruce Rauner. Rauner has become a “cancer” on the Republican Party leadership, who should disassociate from him and declare the 2018 March Primary “open,” but they won’t…because they don’t have the courage to stand up for their “professed” beliefs and are indentured to his money. But Family-Pac will….with your help. On October 9, we convened a meeting of 20 pro-family/pro-life organizations to recruit a strong pro-family candidate to seek the GOP nomination against Rauner and his multi-million dollar checkbook. We are interviewing a number of candidates now and also pledged to support an independent candidate, like Joe Walsh, if necessary. We are leading the attack against Rauner in the media everyday, but we need your help. if Family-Pac is going to provide essential financial help to the candidate we recruit to get a strong campaign off the ground. Please help now as never before. We must fight to repeal HB 40 and provide courageous moral leadership to some of the Rauner-fearing elected officials. Please go to our website http://www.family-pac.com/support-us/ to contribute $35, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, or $2500 or send your donation in today to stand up for innocent life, taxpayers, and integrity in government as never before.)

X95 RADIO
— RAUNER COULD FACE PRIMARY CHALLENGE FOR GOP NOMINATION
http://www.x95radio.com/2017/10/10/rauner-could-face-primary-challenge-for-gop-nomination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, despite buckets of campaign cash, may be in for a primary fight in his 2018 re-election battle for governor. Suburban Republican lawmaker Jeanne Ives (Wheaton) is considering getting in the race, citing her frustration with the governor’s signing of HB40, a law that will increase access to abortion for state Medicaid recipients and would continue to make abortion legal in Illinois should the U.S. Supreme Court choose to overturn it. Rauner is facing a revolt from the grassroots of his party, with several Republican lawmakers saying they can’t support him for re-election and are actively looking for an alternative. Former ally John Tillman, head of the libertarian think tank The Illinois Policy Institute, referred to him as “Benedict Rauner” for allegedly “going back on his word” and signing HB40. Ives would appear to be at a significant financial disadvantage, but could level the playing field if she garners the support of political operatives like Dan Proft and uber-funder Dick Uihlein.)

Sadly, most, if not virtually all of the operatives and dupes who work for my critics/opponents have health, financial, and/or other problems and have saved little or nothing for their retirement.

DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Contentious speaker met with peaceful protests near Illini Union.” (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, schools crank out “good little Democrats” who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2017-10-06/contentious-speaker-met-with-peaceful-protests-near-illini-union.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Controversial conservative speaker Charlie Kirk’s appearance Thursday night on campus was pretty much a political version of the battle of the bands. Before the Turning Point USA founder began his 40-minute talk inside the Illini Union, a mostly-student crowd of 67 marched across the Quad in that direction, many of them chanting slogans like “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Charlie Kirk has got to go.” Several onlookers grabbed their cellphones to snap selfies in front of the protesters. “He promotes racist policies,” said Elizabeth Dean of the International Socialist Organization. “He wants to build a wall on the border with Mexico. He promotes the ‘professor watch list,’ which asks students to give information about professors they think are left wing. I think his views are harmful to students on campus.” Inside the Union, close to 200 people packed Illini Room B to hear Kirk, a member of President Donald Trump’s transition team, extol the virtues of capitalism, fiscal responsibility and limited government. Attendees launched their own chant: “USA! USA! USA!” One woman squealed when Kirk suggested the U.S. move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. “College students are so used to hearing one side of the political agenda,” said Debbie Bernal, president of the UI chapter of Turning Point USA. “It is important to know there are other beliefs out there that young people are open to, as well.” UI police were stationed both inside and outside the union, but no violence was reported. Most of the conflict was of the verbal variety as each side promoted its views, separated by a hallway. Outside, Nilly Kumar of Urbana carried a sign reading “Open mic for anyone who hates fascism.” “Charlie Kirk is openly against the immigrant community and the undocumented community,” Kumar said. “He supports ideas that should have stayed in the racist 20th century. They don’t belong in this time period.” Inside, Kirk’s talk was interrupted only by loud applause from supporters, many of whom sported buttons reading “I love capitalism” and “Socialism sucks.” “Whether you agree or disagree, it is so important to fight for free speech on campuses today,” Kirk told the crowd. Among his remarks: a call for colleges to move from four-year to three-year degrees. “College should not be about life exploration,” he said. “It should be about career preparation.”)

— Can big bucks buy J.B. human persona? – Gregory Tejeda (DIERSEN: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45, a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)
http://chicagoargus.blogspot.com/2017/10/can-big-bucks-buy-jb-human-persona.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead, we get to hear a first-hand story of how wonderful his mother, Sue, was. He talks about how after his father, Donald, died when J.B. was merely a 7-year-old, his mother struggled to support he and his siblings. Her efforts were made all the more difficult by the fact that she was an alcoholic. She could easily have been overwhelmed by becoming a widow. Instead, she managed to raise all her children to adulthood where they succeeded in life, and J.B. says he gained “a kind of empathy and understanding” about people who struggle. HE CLAIMS THAT empathy will be put to use if he becomes governor. He’ll sympathize with all of us. . .BUT IT IS because this statement is so much like something just about anyone would say about their mother. I could easily come up with a similar accounting of how strong my late mother became following her divorce from my father – all because she wanted me and my brother to not suffer due to the split some four decades ago. In fact, my quarrel would be to say that my mother was just as special as his mother. Something I’m sure just about every voter would argue.)

— Aspiring Surgeon Highlights Need to Pass Dream Act – Hank Johnson  (DIERSEN: What shattered your career dreams? For me, it was the Vietnam War, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. If I had been a minority, a female, or a veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aspiring-surgeon-highlights-need-to-pass-dream-act_us_59d7e569e4b0cf2548b336fa
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But now her dreams of becoming a doctor could be shattered forever. That’s because Cinthya is one of about 800,000 DREAMers nationwide – young children brought to this country by their parents. Thanks to President Trump’s craven decision to reverse the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program or DACA, Cinthya’s contributions and those of hundreds of thousands of other DREAMers to our community and country could come to an end. Make no mistake, Congress has to now fix this problem that Trump created. I’m hopeful that Republicans can come together with Democrats and pass the bipartisan DREAM Act. Deporting DREAMers like Cinthya means destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of patriotic young people, costing the economy billions and betraying the fundamental values of the American Dream.)

I have always been in Group B. Most commonly, Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.

Now, after Rauner did exactly what he said he would do, people are wringing their hands and crying foul? Look, you all can’t claim to have been deceived when you CHOSE to ignore the facts.)

— Stephen Paddock was multimillionaire retiree, gambler with no criminal record

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gunman’s brother, Eric Paddock, said Stephen Paddock was a big spender at casinos and often received free rooms and meals from the casinos. He described the wealth of his multimillionaire brother as substantial, said it included real estate and that he managed property for relatives. “He was a guy who had money. He went on cruises and gambled,” Eric Paddock said, adding that Stephen Paddock recently sent a walker by mail to his 90-year-old mother in Florida. . .Stephen Paddock liked to pay high-stakes video poker, and once texted his brother that he won $250,000 at a casino. But his family didn’t know whether Stephen Paddock had significant gaming debts. NBC News reported that Stephen Paddock gambled more than $10,000 per day on multiple occasions, and in some cases amounts more than $20,000 and $30,000 at Las Vegas casinos.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Use or lose annual leave – Eric Yoder  (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been furious that I got 13 vacation days per year during my first 3 years as a federal employee 1966-1969, 20 days per year during my 4th through 15th years 1971-1983, and 26 days per year during my 16th through 30th year (1984-1997). The vacation days that I got during my first 3 years was only about 6 per year because I worked only about 20 hours per week on average. I should write a book about what my Democrat federal superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did to punish me for taking vacation days. They were beyond furious when I donated unused vacation days to “federal employees facing emergencies.”)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/10/03/qa-for-federal-workers-use-or-lose-leave/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They’re referring to the general policy that a federal employee can carry only 30 days of vacation time — what the government calls annual leave — from one year to the next. It’s not a consideration for relatively new employees, who get 13 days per year during their first three years. But the rate goes up to 20 days per year for those with between three and 15 years, and 26 days for those with 15 years or more. Unused leave accumulates year to year, but any above 30 days that an employee does not take by the end of the leave year — not a calendar year; the 2017 leave year ends Jan. 6, 2018 — is forfeited. (It can be restored for limited reasons, and some employees can carry forward more than 30 days.) Those who won’t be able to use their excess leave on time might want to consider donating it to a leave transfer program to help federal employees facing emergencies, such as those arising from the recent hurricanes.)

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Those who are pro-life feel betrayed by Rauner after signing of abortion bill – Mike Flannery  (DIERSEN: From what I see, any candidate who runs against Rauner or against any Rauner-backed candidate in the Republican primary next year will be called a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/those-who-are-pro-life-feel-betrayed-by-rauner-after-signing-of-abortion-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The governor has no path to victory. Bruce Rauner is done. He cannot win,” said State. Rep. Peter Breen. He’s the Republican floor leader in the Illinois House and he’s now leading a revolt of social conservatives against the party’s governor. It’s political fallout from Bruce Rauner’s surprise decision to sign into law an abortion rights bill he previously promised to veto. But the governor’s Republican critics are now offering other reasons to reject him. Lombard’s State Rep. Peter Breen claims that only after Gov. Rauner was excluded from the face-to-face bargaining did other Republicans finally achieve the most basic agreements with democrats in the state capitol. “When you look at everything from the budget negotiations and a range of other issues, he is at the point now where he can no longer be in the room where they are negotiating agreements with the general assembly,” Breen said. An outspoken pro-life Republican, Breen insists his unhappiness with Gov. Rauner’s leadership goes far beyond the abortion issue. Some party activists were stunned by Rauner’s decision to sign the so-called “Trust Act.” They complain it made Illinois a sanctuary state by prohibiting local law enforcement from working in some cases with U.S. immigration and customs agents.  Others are offended by Rauner’s public posture on President Trump. “He won’t say President Trump’s name.  Won’t even acknowledge his existence,” said State Rep. David McSweeney. A former state party chairman, though, says Rauner’s unorthodox approach has worked for other Republicans in heavily Democratic Illinois. “We see what model actually works in this state with Jim Edgar, who was three terms who was pro-choice. Judy Baar Topinka, Mark Kirk. I know a lot of the people on the right get angry with that. But we’ve gotta be realistic about the state we live in,” Pat Brady said. Those leading this Republican revolt against Gov. Rauner know they face a tight timetable and time is not on their side. They need to find a candidate for governor, a running mate for Lt. Governor and collect thousands of signatures by Dec. 4th.  Not to mention raising the several million dollars needed to run a credible campaign. Although Gov. Rauner has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election, allies are collecting signatures on his nominating petitions.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner’s left turns on abortion, immigration put his political base in doubt – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: From what I see, any candidate who runs against Rauner or against any Rauner-backed candidate in the Republican primary next year will be called a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-abortion-bill-fallout-met-1001-20170930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner used his money and power to rebuild the Illinois Republican Party and ensure loyalty to him. Still, it’s unclear now whether Rauner’s wealth will be able to keep rank-and-file Republicans in line. Writing “big campaign checks,” Breen contended, is “the only unique feature left in Rauner’s favor” and something that may make others reluctant to criticize the governor. That means “we’re going to have to find alternate sources of funding,” he said.)

Wanczyk, the Repsels, and other lottery winners face similar choices: Splurge or invest? Keep working or quit? We imagine many readers just took a nanosecond to make their choice. They may be shocked to learn what researchers have found: Most American winners have kept working after winning the lottery. Some started their own businesses, or scaled back to part time. Most often they haven’t changed employers. From the Department of Timeless Quotations: “Certainly, money is important, but there are a lot of other aspects to work that play a big role: relationships, achievement needs that people have, status needs outside of money,” Bowling Green State University psychology professor Scott Highhouse told The Christian Science Monitor back in 2004.)

— Illinois Republicans Split Over Abandoning Rauner After Abortion Bill – Tony Arnold (DIERSEN: From what I see, any candidate who runs against Rauner in the Republican primary will be called a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)
https://www.wbez.org/shows/wbez-updates/illinois-republicans-split-over-abandoning-rauner-after-abortion-bill/e6e2ffb5-5397-4029-91d9-7a8b5237550b
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans are split as to whether they should abandon Governor Bruce Rauner after he signed bill into law on Thursday that expands Medicaid to cover abortions. GOP State Senator Dan McConchie says Rauner’s signature underscores grave concerns Republicans have with him as their party’s nominee in next year’s election. He says a Republican primary challenger is very likely. But Rauner heavily funds the Illinois Republican Party — and the chairman of the state party says there’s no daylight between Rauner and the party.)

http://www.wirepoints.com/this-face-will-appear-prominently-in-the-books-about-rauners-and-perhaps-illinois-last-gasp/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just a short and simple prediction, offered for now without the factual backup that exists: The overbearing role of Diana Rauner, a liberal Democrat, in her husband’s administration will come to be recognized as a primary reason for his failure. And since Bruce Rauner was perhaps Illinois’ last hope, she’ll have a place in the history books.)

Today, many of those memorials need restoration, officials said. State Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the obelisk in her community needed substantial work to fix the masonry and brass. World War I is an important part of the community there, Ives said. At the time of the conflict, Wheaton had roughly 4,000 residents and about 500 men left to serve in the war. “We’ve lost that generation already,” Ives said.)

The GOP will go further downhill as long as it continues to allow those who reject planks in its platform to hold leadership positions. I should write a book about past and present GOP leaders in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who reject most if not virtually all of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform.  These Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs have done much to destroy the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Illinois Republican Party.)

— Proposed DuPage budget calls for salary cuts to cover state revenue loss – Gary Gibula  (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO used budget cuts, Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-proposed-dupage-budget-st-0927-20170926-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County employee salaries would be cut by up to 4 percent to compensate for a $2.7 million loss in state revenue under a budget proposed Tuesday by board Chairman Dan Cronin. The reductions are necessary to ensure that property taxes don’t increase under the 2017-18 spending plan, Cronin told county board members. “This has been an exceedingly difficult year,” he said. “I don’t know if people expect this from year to year, but we have a unique brand of government here. We do more with less.” Among the revenue cuts from the state are 10 percent less from the Local Government Distributive Fund, 2 percent less from the administrative fee on Regional Transportation Authority sales tax and a reduction in the Personal Property Replacement tax. Cronin and his finance team are asking all county departments to make across-the-board salary reductions in lieu of laying off staff.)

They want to get rid of me because I refuse to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot and other vices, race and gender based preference giving, age discrimination, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, etc.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170926/news/309269931/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The teen’s online posts mocking and criticizing the city-state’s government have twice landed him in a Singapore jail. He left his homeland in December with the intention of seeking U.S. asylum, but immigration agents took him into custody at O’Hare International Airport. He has remained behind bars during the proceedings. Attorney Sandra Grossman anticipated that Yee, in custody at a county jail outside Chicago, could be released at “any time.” “We welcome the board’s decision and we welcome it because it’s a decision that’s grounded in law and in fact,” she said. “He was persecuted because of political beliefs.”)

— Rauner: Protesting NFL players are ‘disrespecting the foundations of our country’ – AVERY ANAPOL
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/352237-illinois-governor-protesting-nfl-players-are-disrespecting-the
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner said that NFL players protesting the National Anthem are “disrespecting” the flag, country, and anthem. The governor weighed in on the controversy to Politico after Sunday’s NFL game at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The entirety of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem, except for one player. “To me they are disrespecting the foundations of our country, the veterans who risked their lives for our democracy, and the men and women who fight every day and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberties,” Rauner said through a spokesman. Rauner has a financial stake in the Steelers, according to Politico. The Republican governor said he did not condone the Steelers’ behavior, but that the First Amendment guarantees the right of players to “choose to be disrespectful.” “Our country is great because it guarantees freedom of expression,” Rauner said. President Trump has heavily criticized players for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. At an Alabama Senate campaign rally on Friday night, he called for NFL owners to fire athletes who protest the National Anthem, prompting several instances of players kneeling or staying in locker rooms during the anthem across the nation this weekend. The Chicago Bears stayed on the field during the anthem, linking arms in a display of unity while remaining standing. A team statement from the Bears said that the “divisive political situation” that the protests have brought on have unified the NFL by prompting dialogue between  “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” the statement reads. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner.”)

West Suburban Patriot’s members are very engaged in the political process and look forward to opportunities to meet representatives and hear about current legislative issues. Due to the structure and purpose of our meetings, we can’t provide them a platform to address the group for an entire meeting (unless we are holding a candidate forum), but we will certainly announce that they are in attendance, give them a few minutes to address the group, and encourage members to take time to introduce themselves and connect one-on-one. We ask elected officials to be conscious of the fact that we are a non-partisan group and to respect all of our members by not acting in an overtly partisan manner. We realize that getting our nation back on the right track will take the active participation of every citizen we can possibly draw in to our movement. Anyone who subscribes to the three tea party principles (fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government, and free and fair markets) is welcome to join us. So that we know how much time to allocate for candidates, please contact Carol in advance to let us know that you are coming.)

WICHITA EAGLE
— GOP bill will offer Dreamers citizenship after ‘extreme vetting’ – FRANCO ORDOÑEZ AND BRIAN MURPHY (DIERSEN: From what I see, a) virtually all illegals are minorities, females, and/or younger; b) employers want to give preference to illegals over citizens of America; and c) no one wants illegals to take bad jobs like I did.  I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article175175316.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.” The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service. “Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.” All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.)

Harold has raised more than $40,000 in the month since the former Miss America and unsuccessful candidate for Congress announced her bid, according campaign reports. About $34,000 of that came from the Illinois Republican Party paying for media production, records show.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-met-first-amendment-college-kass-0922-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You may have once had doubts that the American left has spent decades feeding a weed that would grow to strangle American liberty. But those doubts have now been dispelled, haven’t they? Because a new survey of American college students by the Brookings Institution offers perhaps the most depressing forecast of the future of liberty that we’ve seen. It tells us that many of the most privileged people on the planet, American college students, are barbarously illiterate when it comes to understanding the freedoms given them by the Constitution. A barbarously illiterate people can easily be turned into an angry horde. It is dangerous work, yes, but it can be done. They can be herded, cynically, with prompts to emotion and calls to anger for short-term political gain. But having thrown away their understanding of their freedoms, such people cannot remain free for long. According to the survey, when asked if the First Amendment protected so-called hate speech, 44 percent of college students said no. And 16 percent said they didn’t know the answer. More than half, 51 percent, said they think that “shouting so the audience can’t hear,” also known as the heckler’s veto, is an acceptable tactic for silencing a controversial speaker. So just shout them down. Scream. Don’t engage, don’t ignore, and don’t bother to use reason and offer counter arguments to win the battle of ideas.)

https://www.illinoispolicy.org/currie-to-receive-6-figure-pension-after-first-year-of-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When she retires as majority leader, her salary will likely stand at over $91,000, including her base salary and leadership bonus. That means her first-year pension payment will be more than $77,000. Then the spikes kick in. Her second-year pension will total more than $121,000, according to GARS rules.)
