— Political fundraiser in Park Ridge draws backlash after pictures show lack of masks – Dana Rebik
https://wgntv.com/news/coronavirus/political-fundraiser-in-park-ridge-draws-backlash-after-pictures-show-lack-of-masks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The group sent the following statement Monday. “The Republican Women of Park Ridge is extremely proud of the successful, informative, and safe breakfast held this past weekend at the Park Ridge Country Club. The breakfast was conducted in compliance with the strict rules imposed by our host, which did a very good job of adhering to the guidelines issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health. All tables and chairs were spaced appropriately throughout the rooms that were used. Additionally, the Republican Women of Park Ridge took active steps to ensure the safety of its attendees including providing free masks and hand sanitizers to attendees upon arrival and requiring that all attendees wear masks and social distance. All attendees removed their masks to eat. After sitting down and starting to eat, attendees were asked to stand to recite the pledge of allegiance, and some did not put on their masks as they recited the pledge. Some individuals removed their masks momentarily after the event when taking a photo. The very limited times when attendees were not wearing masks were warranted and reasonable. Unfortunately, there are people in our community who do not genuinely care about the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 but take an opportunity such as this to harass our organization. We are not surprised by this and will continue to promote our message of freedom, family values, and patriotism to ensure a healthy, equitable, prosperous and free America.” Illinois Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter said he spoke at the breakfast and sent the following statement. “I attended and spoke at the Republican Women of Park Ridge event. Every person I saw wore a mask when entering until they sat down to eat, at which point people removed their masks. I wore a mask the entire time, other than when sitting to eat, during the pledge and when I spoke — from a podium that was well more than 6 feet away from others. That a Democrat mayor threatens the establishment that hosted this nice little lunch, and that some in the news media are spun up about a lunch these women worked hard to make compliant, tells you much about the mayor’s and the media’s character and partisanship.”)

— WHO WILL TEST PRITZKER? – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2020/10/05/who-will-test-pritzker-trumps-drive-by-kamalas-durbin-ad-electoral-count-more-billionaire-cash-490522
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While we haven’t yet dragged ourselves out from under the 2020 election, a few Republicans are already eyeing 2022 to challenge Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Most political watchers are waiting to see what Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Cubs co-owner and Republican National Committee finance Chairman Todd Ricketts, and Chicago attorney and Illinois Republican committeeman Richard Porter will do. State Rep. Darren Bailey of Xenia (in Clay County), and state Sen. Paul Schimpf of Waterloo (near St. Louis), have talked to people about running. Bailey, who makes a living as a farmer, has made headlines for a lawsuit against Pritzker, claiming his civil rights have been violated by the governor’s stay-at-home orders. Bailey is the state rep who was kicked out of the spring legislative session for a day for not wearing a mask. He’s also a freshman Rep who’s running for state senator. Talk about ambition. Schimpf, who’s not seeking re-election this year, saw his plans for a federal judgeship derailed. So he’s looking for something new after next month’s election. The attorney and retired Marine Corps officer has been a familiar face on the campaign circuit for other Republican candidates. He also has been speaking out against the graduated income tax ballot measure, which is backed by Pritzker. Gary Rabine, owner of a Rabine Group, a paving and concrete company based in Schaumburg, has hosted Trump events around Illinois, allowing him to get his name out with top-tier Republican supporters. Rabine, who headlines a podcast called Ditch Digger CEO, also has the ear of Charlie Kirk of Turning Point. Kinzinger, meanwhile, may be looking for a new challenge after nearly 10 years in the House — 12 if he wins re-election next month. He’s one of the few Republicans in Congress who hasn’t been afraid to call out President Donald Trump when he thinks the president’s tweets go too far. GOP sources say Kinzinger’s campaign team would like to see him run for governor, but he so far isn’t indicating whether he’s ready to make the leap. Other wildcards are Ricketts, whose family is on the Forbes billionaire list and is seen as someone who could match Pritzker’s ability to self-fund, and Porter, who’s become a notable name in GOP circles. No one’s ready to talk yet about 2022. But that will change next month after the 2020 election winds down.)

— After coronavirus delay, Biden campaign launching in-person canvassing in Pennsylvania, other battleground states – AP (DIERSEN: I urge all Republican organizations in Illinois to ASAP provide Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains with updated voter guides to deliver to the Independent and Republican households in their precincts.

https://www.mcall.com/news/elections/mc-nws-pa-eletion-biden-canvassing-20201001-gqgr3mihkrfubas2chlecg4zz4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the voter outreach expansion, Biden’s campaign has already opened 109 supply centers across 17 battleground states to help distribute campaign literature, lawn signs and other materials for the canvassers. Biden volunteers in Pennsylvania and Nevada began dropping campaign literature at voters’ homes just last weekend, although they were instructed to avoid any direct conversations. Those conversations will begin this weekend following a series of training sessions designed to ensure Biden’s team can engage with people at doorsteps as safely as possible. All volunteers involved will be provided personal protective equipment, including masks, and will have their temperatures checked. The campaign also plans to send batches of text messages telling voters to expect a knock at their door before volunteers enter a neighborhood. Biden’s team is particularly focused on ensuring his supporters have updated information about how and where to vote as early as possible. Literature used in Pennsylvania in recent days, for example, encourages people to make a specific plan to vote — either by mail, in person early voting or in person on Election Day.)

CNBC
— Coronavirus changed the 2020 money race — and helped Biden erase Trump’s massive cash advantage – Christina Wilkie (DIERSEN: So far, what has your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain done to help elect Republican candidates? Since 2000, I have made GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails available to Republican candidates, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their staff members, their volunteers, etc. Last Friday, I finished hand-delivering door-to-door the following to all 150 homes in my precinct a) that had at least one Republican or Independent voter and b) that had no Democrat yard signs: joint candidate piece from the Milton Township Republican Organization, sample ballot, an Illinois Family Institute Trump/Biden comparison piece, literature from the other 13 Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct in contested races (Mark Curran, Jeanne Ives, Amy Grant, Christopher Kachiroubas, Robert Grogan, Richard Jorgensen, Babette Holder Youngberg, Timothy Elliott, Timothy Whelan, Ann Celine Walsh, Monique O’Toole, James McCluskey, and Richard Felice), and my GOPUSA Illinois business card. 900 of the aforesaid 2,400 pieces had to be folded to fit inside the envelopes provided by the DuPage County Republican Central Committee. The 150 envelopes had a) 358 mailing labels on them provided by the DuPage County Election Division, one for each individual Republican or Independent voter and b) my return address label.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/29/election-money-coronavirus-impact-biden-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden and the Democrats used the next three months to change nearly everything about the nuts and bolts of the campaign, eschewing many of the ground-level organizing techniques that Obama pioneered in 2008, and instead opting to go almost entirely digital. “Fundamentally, knocking on a door and not reaching anyone doesn’t get you much except leaving a piece of [campaign literature] behind. You might as well send a piece of mail,” Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said at a recent event hosted by Politico. “I know the Republicans want to say, ‘Oh we have, you know, a million door knocks a week.’ Well, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is the conversations you’re having. We have over 2,500 staff across all of our battleground states directly engaging with voters. They’re doing it over the phone, they’re doing it via text, they’re doing it online, they’re meeting people where they are,” said O’Malley Dillon.)
— Biden campaign slams Facebook for ‘regression’ in its efforts to safeguard the election – Lauren Feiner (DIERSEN: I should write a book about candidates, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their volunteers a) who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems; b) who have discouraged me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails; c) who have discouraged everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails; and/or d) who have taken other adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 a) who have lost elections and/or b) who fear losing on November 3, 2020.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/29/biden-campaign-slams-facebook-for-regression-in-protecting-democracy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a scathing message to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday, the Biden campaign accused the company of backsliding on its work to protect democracy in the U.S. by fighting misinformation about the 2020 presidential election. Biden’s campaign manager accused Facebook of failing to act on its commitments to prohibit messages misrepresenting who can vote and how. The letter comes ahead of the first presidential debate Tuesday night.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Trump’s campaign to undercut trust in the election is resonating with his voters. – Jeremy W. Peters and Hank Stephenson (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists. They believe that their end justifies their means. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who reject the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have never worked for, worked with, and/or supervised a Democrat. Virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates 1964-1997 were Democrats. I would focus on those who have never lived and/or worked outside of DuPage County, Milton Township, and/or Wheaton. I worked in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and 1970-1972, in Flossmoor in 1966, in Park Forest 1966-1969, in Harvey 1972-1973, in Joliet 1973-1974, and in Chicago 1971 and 1973-1997.

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976 a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) were taken by me to qualify 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.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Left’s Moral Compass Isn’t Broken – Dennis Prager
https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/09/17/the-lefts-moral-compass-isnt-broken/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of my life, I have said that the left’s moral compass is broken. And all of my life, I was wrong. Why I was wrong explains both the left and the moral crisis we are in better than almost any other explanation. I was wrong because in order to have a broken moral compass, you need to have a moral compass to begin with. But the left doesn’t have one. This is not meant as an attack. It is a description of reality. The left regularly acknowledges that it doesn’t think in terms of good and evil. Most of us are so used to thinking in those terms—what we call “Judeo-Christian”—that it is very difficult for us to divide the world in any other way.)

USA TODAY
— Amy Coney Barrett: Talented judge, popular professor brings solid conservative credentials – Richard Wolf and Maureen Groppe (DIERSEN: How would Barrett have ruled in Diersen v. GAO? In Diersen v. GAO, the 7th Circuit ruled that employers can discriminate against their employees because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/26/who-amy-coney-barrett-talented-judge-conservative-credentials/3494471001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During her three years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, which includes Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, Barrett has ruled in cases involving abortion, sexual assault, guns, race and immigration. Among them: . . Race: Barrett helped to block the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s effort to stop an employer from transferring Chicago-area employees based on their race or ethnicity. The agency had accused AutoZone of making the transfers to reflect area demographics. Three dissenting judges said the policy “deprived people … of employment opportunities at their preferred geographic location.” Age discrimination: Barrett ruled that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act does not apply when policies impact plaintiffs unintentionally. The ruling went against a 58-year-old job applicant who lost out to someone half his age when the company sought to hire a person with less than seven years’ experience.)

VANCOUVER SUN
— NDP, Liberal and Green parties have subtly different plans to keep people safe while campaigning – Lori Culbert (DIERSEN: Of course, ever-increasing, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that because of the pandemic and because of my terrible demographics (old, overweight, White, male, type-2 diabetic, Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, and owner of six American nameplate cars and one SUV), I should NOT do anything to help elect candidates and b) I should resign as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. Nevertheless, yesterday, I finished hand-delivering door-to-door the following to all 150 homes in my precinct a) that had at least one Republican or Independent voter and b) that had no Democrat yard signs: joint candidate piece from the Milton Township Republican Organization, sample ballot, literature from the 14 Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct who provided campaign literature, and my GOPUSA Illinois business card. Six of the aforesaid pieces had to be folded to fit inside the envelopes provided by the DuPage County Republican Central Committee. The envelopes had on them a) mailing labels provided by the DuPage County Election Division for each individual Republican or Independent voter and b) my return address label.)
https://vancouversun.com/news/politics/bc-election/dont-pet-voters-dogs-or-sneeze-on-campaign-literature-a-few-of-the-b-c-party-covid-tips-for-staff
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The three main parties supplied their safety plans to Postmedia, and there are obvious similarities around mask-wearing, social distancing, handwashing and staying home when sick. But there are also differences. At the NDP camp, workers from different parts of the campaign are “bubbled” and not allowed to interact with their fellow party workers. That is not only a drag for the Smith brothers, but for senior bus staffer Marie Della Mattia and her daughter, Emily, who works at NDP headquarters. The NDP says its rules are based on guidelines from WorkSafeBC and Henry’s office: At headquarters, staff work in small cohort teams that arrive and eat at different times while those on the bus sit in spread-out seats and hand sanitize after every stop. On Thursday, the party issued new protocols for journalists, which includes an online form that asks for symptoms and collects contact-tracing information. The Liberals’ safety plan includes many of those same elements, but also details minimizing the number of workers in campaign offices, prohibiting the public from entering the offices or requiring appointments, and using plastic or shower curtains barriers when physical distance cannot be maintained. The Liberals also have rules for canvassing, which includes limiting physical contact with doorbells and railings, hand-sanitizing between each house, never going into voters’ houses, and never petting their dogs and cats. Campaign material should be carried in a plastic bag, workers must “take every possible precaution to avoid sneezing” on it, and it should never be handed directly to a voter. Liberal events should have no more than 50 people, ideally be held outside, provide masks and sanitizer and, when possible, have assigned seating, the party says. In its safety material, the Green party acknowledges that “COVID-19 has created a situation where campaigning is going to look very different.” For starters, canvassers should wear gloves and, this year more than ever, respect a voter who isn’t interested. “Canvassers must understand that the public may not be comfortable with this type of activity at their place of residence. Team members will need to be polite, respectful and sensitive to people’s comfort levels,” the Green material says. Only team members in the same household bubble should travel in a car together. If additional people must be in the car, roll the windows down. In campaign offices, door handles, printers and sink taps must be cleaned several times a day, and Green party volunteers should avoid using common coffee pots, kettles or microwaves — which could make for some tired and hungry volunteers. Even when it comes to donations, the rules have changed. The Green party would prefer “contactless” transactions, presumably e-transfers, or old-fashioned cash can be dropped into a container with a slot on top.)

— Illinois Governor Pritzker’s Claim Of Following the Science And Data Appears To Be False…According To The Data – KIRK ALLEN & JOHN KRAFT
https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2020/09/illinois-governor-pritzkers-claim-of-following-the-science-and-data-appears-to-be-false-according-to-the-data/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As if all this “science and data” the Governor claims he is following is not troubling enough, how about the tying of that data to the mask mandate? Early on the so-called “experts” warned that the use of masks for the healthy was not advised. In fact, it was discouraged for several reasons, of which one was because it could lead to more cases because people would be fiddling with their masks because they are not used to wearing one and that would lead to more cases. Looking at the data, Illinois hit a low from the first peak just after the middle of June. May 29th was the face mask mandate. About three weeks after that mandate, positive cases climbed. Is it possible the data is telling us the masks were doing exactly what the “experts” told us in the beginning? Considering I have yet to find one person who washes their mask after being out in public, it is quite possible that masks are a contributing factor to the increased numbers. Don’t take this to mean masks don’t help to slow the spread. We are simply suggesting the data points to more cases shortly after the mask mandate and that mandate had no guidance on the importance of making sure the mask you wear does not have a valve, is disposed of after use, or washed regularly if you’re using homemade masks. In the words of Moses, “Let My People Go”.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2020/09/20/sports-world-gets-equality-all-wrong-n2576508
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The fatal flaw in the idea that America is rife with racial inequality is a failure to distinguish between two kinds of equality: the equality of blacks as human beings, and the equality of their performance in the social and economic arenas. The root of so many stubborn problems in America’s inner cities have less to do with skin color than with behavior. But instead of getting to the root of the problem, academia, corporate-types, the media, Hollywood, and now professional sports have become a septic system that pipes the rotten narrative of victimhood all over the nation, forcing regular folks to clean up all the crap. Confusing race-based inequality with performance-based inequality is what’s getting business looted and demolished, and people beaten and killed in the Twilight Zone known as the Black Lives Matter movement. Of all industries, the “put-up-or-shut-up” world of sports should know better. “Put up or shut up” is all about performance. A player’s history, pedigree, race, likeability, good looks – or bad looks – is completely separate from his value to the game. His value to the game is measured solely by his performance.)

HARTFORD COURANT
— The governor was right to impose fines for not wearing a mask. But is it enough? – Editorial (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters a) viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn those like me who wear a mask only when Pritzker requires me to and b) hint/imply/argue/shout that to wear a mask is to shout your hatred of Trump.)
https://news.yahoo.com/governor-impose-fines-not-wearing-101100131.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Gov. Ned Lamont announced last week that people caught not wearing a mask could face a $100 fine, cries of “King Ned” came quickly. Hecklers turned out to Gov. Lamont’s public appearances, carrying signs reading “liberty or death” and “stop the tyranny.” One Naugatuck man with a bullhorn said the governor had no right to require his 3-year-old daughter to wear a mask. Gov. Lamont has indeed issued a fair number of executive orders since he declared a state of emergency in the spring, and it’s important for the public to ask if he is overextending his authority — but in many cases, the answer is clearly “no,” and the mask protesters are missing the point and risking lives. The $100 fine for not wearing a mask is perfectly appropriate and, it appears, necessary to encourage compliance with a simple and painless act that saves lives. The legislature could easily impose the same fine. No overextension here. In one part of Indonesia, people who were caught not wearing masks were punished by being forced to dig graves for people who had died of COVID-19. A $100 fine doesn’t send as clear a message. It’s unlikely that municipal police are going to swarm public places and hand out $100 fines to the maskless, although they should make it a priority. In the end, the choice really remains with individuals. But this isn’t just about a handful of people refusing to wear masks. The data tell us that the anti-maskers are far from alone in ignoring common sense.)

NEW JERSEY
— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS: Slapping fines on those who don’t wear masks in stores advances in N.J. – Brent Johnson
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/09/plan-to-slap-fines-on-those-who-dont-wear-masks-in-nj-stores-moves-closer-to-murphys-desk.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite an intense debate, New Jersey is one step closer to establishing a fine of up to $500 for shoppers who don’t properly wear a mask inside stores during the coronavirus pandemic. The state Assembly’s appropriations committee voted 7-4, along party lines, to approve the bill that says anyone who enters a store with a visible sign requiring them to wear a mask is subject to a fine of $50 to $500 if they don’t wear a face covering over both their nose and mouth. Gov. Phil Murphy signed an executive order in April mandating that people that enter stores in the Garden State must wear masks. Under this Democratic-sponsored bill (A4453), violators would face a fine of between $50 and $500 if they enter a store with a visible sign requiring customers wear masks but don’t have a face covering over both their nose and mouth.

WASHINGTON POST
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater says “The GOP had an uneasy relationship with the far right. Until Trump. Republicans once kept the fringe at arms’ length. Trump made it mainstream.” I should write a book about RINOs who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as being a far-right fringe extremist and even worse things. I would focus on many present and past RINO leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. I would focus on those who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and even worse things. RINOs hate conservatives, that is, they hate the base of the Republican Party. RINOs work closely with Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, moderates, and liberals to destroy the Republican Party.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state’s current Republican leadership — Chairman Tim Schneider, National Committeeman Richard Porter and National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte — came to Ives’ defense in a joint statement that contended “identifying and labeling Pat Brady as a Republican is false and misleading.” Ives weighed in on Twitter, saying: “Of course Pat Brady endorsed Sean Casten. Amoral, ruling class political hacks stick together.” “Pat Brady is a liberal Democrat and has been for some time. Sean Casten may have the backing of political hacks but Jeanne Ives is supported by hard working taxpayers,” the statement said. . .Schneider, who is now coming to Ives’ defense, was Rauner’s hand-picked state GOP chairman and denounced the 2018 ad. He said it did not reflect the Illinois Republican Party, called it a “cowardly attempt to stoke political division” and asked her to apologize and remove it. She did neither. State Republicans who are running a “races to watch” online program to help raise funds for a variety of contenders did not include Ives. State GOP officials said she declined to participate in the fundraising effort, but they support her candidacy.)
