— Migrant caravan spurs controversy in central Illinois – Cymphanie Sherman
https://foxillinois.com/news/local/migrant-caravan-spurs-controversy-in-central-illinois

She fears the number of military troops being sent is not enough. “We have no idea who’s coming through our borders and again, as far as I’m concerned it’s our government who’s responsible for the safety and security of our country first, our citizens first,” said Pulido.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Because We Live Here – Pedro Gonzalez
https://www.amgreatness.com/2018/10/27/because-we-live-here/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What surges toward the United States from the south is not a “caravan,” it is an invading force. Mothers who take money from leftist activists to drag their children on for thousands of miles in front of cameras are not brave, they are mercenary. Men who tear apart metal barriers and cry, “Donald Trump is the antichrist,” are not “just looking for work,” they are looking for a fight and are daring anyone to stop them. Just as well, I would refer the “free market” fearmongers, who insist that America needs a constant influx of fresh “diversity” as tribute to satiate the Invisible Hand, to Chilton Williamson Jr.: “You could ‘prove’ to me that, without the immediate transference of the entire population of Hong Kong to the state of California, the United States would be in a major economic depression by the middle of next year, and I would still be against transferring it there.” Yet even as we scramble to address the threat before us, another rears its head. There is now a second mob 2,500 strong organizing to march on the United States.)

SOUTHERN
— Rep. Bost’s office confirms Trump visit to (Murphysboro) October 27 – ISAAC SMITH (DIERSEN: How would the religious, government, political, and financial leaders in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county react if Trump came to your municipality, to your township/ward, or to your county?)
https://thesouthern.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/rep-bost-s-office-confirms-trump-visit-to-carbondale/article_01a5645f-e92a-5e71-8e47-3e5d007a1f3e.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This sparked outcry from some on City Council. Councilman Adam Loos drafted a four-page resolution declaring Trump unwelcome. However, he later rescinded his request to have it placed on Tuesday’s City Council agenda because some council members withdrew support for the resolution. It wouldn’t have mattered, because after deep consideration and notification that there would be considerable civil disobedience from people supporting and opposing the president’s visit, Mayor Mike Henry canceled Tuesday’s council meeting, electing to reschedule it after Trump’s visit. Henry said there was not a threat of violence, but those from the community action group The Flyover Social Center disagreed. The group, which is vocally opposed to Trump’s visit and politics, on Saturday received a business card for white supremacist group Patriot Front. They took this as a subtle threat of violence against their group.)

https://www.salon.com/2018/10/21/with-members-getting-trump-averse-the-federal-workers-union-targets-midterms/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among those with the most at stake in the Congressional midterm elections are the rank and file of the unions that represent the Federal Government’s two-million-member workforce. Since President Trump took office 21 months ago, they have been the target of him and allies like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who served on his transition team. Mr. Gingrich urged the President to wage a “straight-out war” aimed at ending what he called “the job for life” with the Federal civil service. Mr. Trump has canceled a Federal pay raise, proposed budgets to cut workers’ health and retirement benefits and issued executive orders to eliminate employee protections that evolved over decades of collective bargaining.)

— Living with your parents? 4 ways to save on housing costs in your 20s – Steve Nicastro (DIERSEN: Where did the money come from for the down payments on the homes that you bought? For the new townhome in University Park that I bought in September of 1972 when I was 24 years old, it came from the money I had earned a) working for Firestone Stores since August of 1970 and b) working for IRS since June of 1971. For the studio condo that I bought in 1974 and the one bedroom condo that I bought in 1976, it came from the money I had earned working for IRS. For the home that my wife and I bought in Wheaton in 1978 when we got married, it came from the money that she had earned a) working for the FBI 1968-1970 and b) working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions since 1970. For the home that we had built in Wheaton in 1984, it came from the money that a) I had earned working for IRS 1978-1980 and for GAO since 1980 and b) my wife had earned working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions.)

— A south suburban superintendent is set to retire at age 56 with a $762k payout. Angry? Get informed and vote. – Ted Slowik
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opinion/ct-sta-slowik-highest-paid-superintendent-st-1011-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A system that rewards public servants with excessive compensation should rile south suburban homeowners struggling to pay high property taxes and other bills. Paraday’s base salary this year is $309,306, but that’s only part of the story. The cost of health insurance, an annuity, pension contributions, a car allowance and other expenses drove Paraday’s total compensation for the year to $407,145 — making him the highest-paid superintendent in Illinois. Paraday oversees 1,130 students in three schools, which were delayed from opening in August due to mold in the junior high. Yet, Paraday makes more than the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, who oversees 371,382 students in 644 schools. Open the Books, a Burr Ridge-based watchdog group, discovered that on top of his other compensation, Paraday is set to receive a “golden handshake” of $762,615 for unused paid days off. “Unused, earned sick leave, unused vacation days and unused personal business days shall be allowed to (accumulate), without limit,” Paraday’s contract states. “The superintendent, at his discretion, may submit for payment, at the current per diem, any unused sick, personal or vacation day(s).” Paraday, 56, who has been superintendent since 2005, accumulated 567 days at a rate of $1,345 per day, Open the Books said, based on information it obtained from the district through the Freedom of Information Act. “The bloated Illinois education bureaucracy rewards those who know how to play the pay-and-pension lottery,” Adam Andrzejewski, Open the Books founder and CEO said in a statement. “It’s time the dollars start following the children rather than the bureaucracy.”)

— All but one member of the state’s Democratic congressional delegation has signed a letter encouraging Gov. Bruce Rauner to try to “mitigate” the impact of the upcoming change to the deduction on state and local income taxes, known as SALT, according to a letter obtained by POLITICO. Under the new plan, taxpayers will be able deduct state individual income, sales and property taxes up to $10,000. The deduction is currently unlimited. All Illinois Dems but Rep. Dan Lipinski signed the letter saying the provision will have “serious consequences for Illinoisans.” – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)

From what I see, far too many employers in America prefer hiring citizens of foreign countries FOR THEIR BAD JOBS, and especially citizens of foreign countries who are in American illegally, over citizens of America. What BAD JOBS did you have? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, all the jobs that I had were BAD JOBS. 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 assembly 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.)

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses that I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) qualified me for a “new trade or business,” d) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and e) were a distraction.)

Despite having endless millions to spend on his race, he was always going to have a tough path to reelection in a Democratic state. It was the entrance of a third-party conservative candidate that appeared to seal his fate by making Rauner a governor without a natural constituency. Democrat J.B.

— BEHIND THE WHEEL The median annual salary for this job is $42,480. So why can’t Central Illinois companies fill them?  Challenges, opportunities seen in shortage of truckers – JAYLYN COOK (DIERSEN: How bad were the jobs that you took?

The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, and coworkers did everything that could to destroy me. They stressed that GAO had forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They stressed that my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They stressed that my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. They demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being completely worthless a) the experience that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880, b) what I had learned earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, c) what I had learned passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc. They stressed that I was a Republican, that I was conservative, that I was 100% German national origin, that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I had avoided the draft, that I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971, and that my wife owned a home in Wheaton. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had started with GAO instead of IRS in 1971, GAO would never have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that all executive branch employees are grossly inferior to all legislative branch employees. They used Money Magazine’s nasty February 1978 article on my wife and I to paint us as being undeservedly filthy rich DINKs (dual income, no kids).)
