The more that you support the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling, the harder that they work against you. They certainly worked/work very hard against me. Needless-to-say, they should not be allowed to seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.)

PRAIRIE STATE WIRE
— Durkin hiring of former Rauner aide living with reporter raises conflict questions – W.J. Kennedy (DIERSEN: As the Illinois Editor for GOPUSA since 2000, I have always fully disclosed my political activities. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I was the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I served on the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee and I attended the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 IRP State Conventions as a delegate.)
http://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511221641-durkin-hiring-of-former-rauner-aide-living-with-reporter-raises-conflict-questions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: House Minority Leader Jim Durkin’s (R-Western Springs) hiring of Michael Mahoney, a former aide to Gov. Bruce Rauner, has the potential to cause some conflict of interest problems for WTTW, the primary public broadcasting member station in Chicago. The news of Mahoney’s hiring was reported in a Sept. 17 story in Prairie State Wire. According to the real estate listing site BlockShopper, Mahoney lives with WTTW statehouse reporter Amanda Vinicky in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. “Amanda adheres to our News Standards which require balance, fairness and disclosure,” Mary Field, the station’s executive producer of “Chicago Tonight,” wrote in an email in response to being asked how WTTW would maintain balance in its coverage of the General Assembly. “I believe her works speaks for itself in that regard.” The Prairie State Wire story said that the hiring of Mahoney was being pushed by one of the Springfield’s top lobbyists and deal makers, Nancy Kimme, and David Walsh, Durkin’s top aide. Mahoney, 31, would replace Andrew Freiheit, 46, of Wheaton, who worked for the Illinois House Republicans, including Durkin’s predecessors Lee Daniels and Tom Cross, for more than two decades. Sources said that the move was precipitated by staff changes in Rauner’s office, where Kimme once had unrivaled access to information on state contracts, hiring and legislation. That access has reportedly been shut down with the departure of aides close to her, among them former Chief of Staff Richard Goldberg, Campaign Manager Mike Zolnierowicz, Communications Director Lance Trover and Research Director Edward Murphy. “She (Kimme) needs a new way in,” a lobbyist familiar with the situation told Prairie State Wire. “Durkin and Walsh are looking to help.” Commenting on an earlier story about the appearance of conflicts of interests when reporters are in relationships with people they report on, Prof. Adam Penenberg of New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute — who garnered national attention in 1998 for unmasking serial fabricator Stephen Glass of the New Republic — said that many ethics codes in journalism warn of any appearance of a conflict of interest. “One good rule governing potential conflicts of interest is whether a reporter might pull his or her punches,” he said. “Write a critical story and your spouse could, potentially, suffer the consequences. She could even get fired and result in a significant loss of income.” The Associated Press, in its “News Values and Principles” for Reporters, states: “Editorial employees are expected to be scrupulous in avoiding any political activity, whether they cover politics regularly or not. Non-editorial employees must refrain from political activity unless they obtain approval from a manager.” It also urges discussing any potential conflicts with one’s manager. “And a supervisor must be informed when a spouse — or other members of an employee’s household — has any ongoing involvement in political causes, either professionally or personally,” it reads.)

Ever-increasingly, my precinct, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois 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.

— Former Bears cornerback Charles Tillman training to join the FBI – Brad Biggs
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-charles-tillman-fbi-training-20170919-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: FBI guidelines mandate prospective candidates for hiring as a special agent must be at least 23 years old but younger than 37 at the time of appointment. Tillman turns 37 on Feb. 23. “We don’t speak about personnel matters,” special agent Garrett Croon, a spokesman for the Chicago bureau, told the Tribune. Tillman earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette before the Bears drafted him in the second round in 2003. He grew up in a military family — his father, Donald Tillman Jr., was a sergeant in the Army — and attended 11 schools from kindergarten through 12th grade.)
— Don’t expect a big raise next year, survey says – Robert Channick  (DIERSEN: What raises have you gotten?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious that because of COLAs, step increases, and/or promotions, my salary increased every year that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 except for 1980 when I took an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. 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.)

— When you are too old to find any job – Ilana Gershon and Noah Berlatsky (DIERSEN: How old are you?  I will soon be 69. Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, you will be deemed to be a bad employee, your career will be wasted, and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I was never promoted beyond that. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, 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 $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Learning to appreciate the ‘Vietnam syndrome’ – Clarence Page  (DIERSEN: How did Vietnam impact you? Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted at my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, and everyone else a) that to avoid being sent to Vietnam, I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 and I sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971; b) that the aforesaid proved that I am a patriotic hypocrite, a coward, and even worse things; and c) that aforesaid proves why I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.  Because I am not a veteran, and therefore I did not get the veterans preference, a) some if not many federal jobs were not offered me, b) the job offer that IRS gave me and that I accepted in 1971 was delayed, and c) my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  During the 1980s and 1990s, GAO had a written agreement with its employees who were veterans that they would not be adversely impacted by budget cuts or downsizing.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/page/ct-perspec-page-vietnam-ken-burns-syndrome-20170920-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About a dozen of us strolled wearily and unhappily into the Greyhound bus station early that morning on a date that we would never forget. It was Nov. 19, 1969, the date that our government told us to report for the military draft. . .Like most military draftees, as it turned out, I never was sent to Vietnam. But like just about every American who was around at the time, the war had an impact on my life that often drives me to movies, books and documentaries about the period to try to make sense of it. . .I served my two years in the Army and returned home as many did, looking for some silver lining in a war that, as Burns’ documentary shows, did not have to happen. The best I could come up with was to hope that, at least, we Americans had learned enough from our tragedies in Southeast Asia that we won’t make that kind of mistake again. No, we have learned how to make new ones.)

At IRS and at GAO, to move up the ladder, passing the CPA examination used to be required, but not any more. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate were furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old.  My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate were furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt in 1981 when I was 32 years old. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted many of their Democrat employees over me who not only had not passed the CPA or CIA examinations, they had not even tried to.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to the future, an overwhelming majority of Americans have adopted a mindset that is a variation of Isiah 22:12: “Let us eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow does not matter.”  Recently, federal debt surpassed the $20 Trillion mark (additional state and local debt amount to another $2.9 Trillion). That milestone was greeted by the Ruling Class and a vast preponderance of the citizenry with a yawn and a shrug of the shoulder. As the ongoing determination to promote new entitlement spending and the refusal to rein in, but instead to expand, existing programs continues unabated. Any attempt to seriously discuss the financial fate of the nation is ignored and dismissed with the proviso that its someone else’s problem for another day down the road.  In reality, this dilemma is not someone else’s problem.  The average life expectancy in the United States today is 79.  That means that over 225 million citizens and non-citizens in the country today will still be alive in 30 years.)
— Best places to live tend conservative – Noel S. Williams  (DIERSEN: What do you say to those in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County who paint themselves as being 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?)

— Are Conservatives Prepared to be Censored? – Albert Eisenberg
https://townhall.com/columnists/alberteisenberg/2017/09/18/are-conservatives-prepared-to-be-censored-n2383024
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Somebody at Google is skewing the queries, in this case a form of digital affirmative action: conceivably another point scored in an endless matchup against “white supremacy,” whose presence at all turns is the greatest of progressive obsessions. The implication is that anything related to whiteness – even the telegraph – shouldn’t be searched for at all, and takes up “space” from the accomplishments of marginalized people. In both of the above examples, we receive a political indoctrination in lieu of sought after information. In the second one, we actually learn an altered version of history.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Erika Harold is used to overcoming challenges. But the 37-year-old Urbana, Ill., attorney and former Miss America recently had a beauty of an obstacle removed from her political path, as Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is not seeking a fifth term. “I announced my candidacy on Aug. 15 and exactly one month later, Lisa Madigan decided to drop out of the race,” Ms. Harold (who wants to become the state’s next chief law-enforcement officer) said Sunday at the Rock Island County Republicans’ annual Ronald Reagan BBQ at Pinnacle Country Club. “We’ve done very well so far.” She graduated from University of Illinois and was accepted at Harvard Law School, but it cost $175,000 for three years. Ms. Harold became Miss America in 2003 to help pay for law school, from which she graduated in 2007, debt-free. She’s been a practicing attorney ever since and has run for the 13th Congressional District seat in Illinois. “I see a state government that’s out of control,” Ms. Harold said. “I see a state government that’s not accountable to the rule of law, and I want to see an Attorney General’s office that works for the people. I want an Attorney General’s office that does not pick and choose the laws it enforces.” She wants to fight public corruption and hold lawmakers accountable. “That has not been done in the past 16 years,” Ms. Harold claimed of Ms. Madigan, whose father is longtime House Speaker Mike Madigan. “Too often that office is used in ways that benefit the politician,” she said. “It does not work on the side of the people.” Having been harassed in high school, Ms. Harold said she knows what it’s like to feel powerless. “People are fed up with what they see in government, on both sides of the aisle,” she said. “I am a committed, independent voice, willing to hold both sides accountable.” Ms. Harold also said she’s a fighter, and an unconventional GOP candidate. “I’m not the kind of person people think of when they think of the Republican Party,” she said. “I will win because I will not be out-worked.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2017/09/17/fundamentally-wrong-about-fundamental-rights-n2382661
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Did you realize you have a right to not be offended? That you have a right to other people’s property and their labor? Were you unaware that you, as a citizen, have the same rights in the United States of America as an illegal alien? These are among the newly declared “rights” Democrats have bestowed on people through the power of simply saying they exist. The problem is this concept is fundamentally un-American. Our rights as Americans are not granted to us by the government. Our government is empowered by us on the condition it does not infringe upon the rights with which we were born. The Founding Fathers were brilliant in that they wrote the Constitution to limit government, not citizens. The First Amendment, for example, is explicit in how it starts, “Congress shall make no law…” The rights to free speech, freedom of religion, the press, assembly, etc., are not granted by the Constitution, they are protected from government by it. The whole of the Bill of Rights is written the same way, “Shall not be infringed,” etc. Since the government is not granting those individual rights – we were born with them – it can’t take them away. For liberal progressives, this concept is a threat – they prefer the government being not only the protector of rights, but the decider of what is and is not a right. That’s not liberty; it’s closer to slavery. And slavery is what the left-wing Antifa would like to impose on the country.)

 

DAILY CALLER
— Washington Post Writer Says Trump Is Killing Him, Literally – Henry Rodgers  (DIERSEN: My serving as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and my serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 is killing me, and my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois look forward to my death. Since 1999, I have exercised less and less and less, I have put on 50 pounds, I have come down with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, my gall bladder has been taken out, I have had tremendously expensive dental problems, diabetes medications increasingly cause me tremendous digestive problems, my eyesight is failing, etc. I would be dead by now if my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes had not succeeded in ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and my GAO employment in 1997.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/17/washington-post-writer-says-trump-is-killing-him-literally/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dana Milbank, a writer for The Washington Post, believes President Donald Trump is literally killing him. Milbank said he discovered Trump’s presidency is affecting his health after visiting the doctor for his first physical in 49 years, in an opinion piece published Friday. Milbank said he had to report that he had not been feeling well recently. “President Trump is killing me. No, really. He’s killing me,” Milbank wrote. The WaPo writer said he has been suffering from fatigue, headaches, trouble sleeping, and chest pain. Milbank said his blood pressure was “alarmingly high” after his doctor tested it, making a point that his blood pressure has “always been normal.” Milbank said he was suffering from “Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder,” a disorder he created and diagnosed himself with. “For almost five decades, I had been the picture of health, but eight months into Trump’s presidency, I was suddenly ailing,” he wrote. “Trump is the only variable, I told my doctor. ‘He sure is variable,’ my doc replied, endorsing the diagnosis.” Throughout Milbank’s piece he explained how he knows his “disorder” caused by Trump is a real thing, claiming he performed a longitudinal study to test his “hypothesis.” Milbank said he purchased a blood pressure monitor and would wrap it around his bicep throughout various parts of the daily news cycle. “I am spending the evening with friends. Blood pressure: 116/67. Trump says he is going to respond to North Korea with ‘fire and fury.’ Blood pressure: 150/95,” Milbank continued. “I’m at home with the kids. Blood pressure: 117/69. Jeff Sessions says they’re scrapping the DACA program: 137/92.” Milbank said he has spoken with psychotherapists who have told him that they are unusually busy with clients who continue to speak about Trump. He claims that Trump is “exacerbating whatever neurosis, depression or other conditions they had.” The WaPo writer said he addressed his self-diagnosed illness of Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder with blood pressure medication prescribed by his doctor. “My prescription is renewable until January 2021, at which point I expect it will no longer be medically necessary,” he concluded.)

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER
— To Avoid Media Bias, News Organizations Are Lifting the Veil – Gretchen A. Peck  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, “news organizations” focus on destroying Trump and destroying his supporters, and especially his supporters who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/feature/to-avoid-media-bias-news-organizations-are-lifting-the-veil/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Take note of conversations about policy, politics or politicians. Often, they will devolve into a smearing of sources and the news organizations that provided the information; they’re perceived as being for one ideology and against another. It would be disingenuous to suggest that there are not news organizations that have a definitive perspective when it comes to controversial topics such as these. The same might be said for journalists and pundits, too, and the public has become hip to it. In fact, when you consider how most consumers of news choose their sources of information, which often align with their own perspectives and beliefs, it’s easy to see how the lines in the sand have been drawn. Part of the daily mission for many conservative news outlets is to seed distrust among fans, making them leery of all other sources of information from “the liberal media,” including local, regional and national newspapers. Meanwhile, representing the Left, there are organizations like Media Matters for America, which spend resources on correcting or exposing misinformation perpetuated by conservative news sources. And on social media, “fake news” lives on. The public is rightfully confused and unnecessarily agitated, and newspaper brands have suffered because of it. Objectivity as a Guidepost  Perhaps the greatest misconception that the public has about journalists and the business of newsgathering is that pure objectivity is not just possible, but that it’s the whole job. What they may not realize is that sticking to “just the facts,” or merely the “who, what, when, where, and why,” makes for an interminably hollow story, like a naked skeleton. It lacks context, flavor, understanding based on research and knowledge. A “just the facts” story is both boring to read and a dereliction of a journalist’s duty to go beyond the “5 Ws,” with insight, perspectives, and things that become known during the newsgathering that should not be unknown for the sake of appearing purely objective.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-pay-gap-transparency-push-20170901-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration has halted an Obama-era rule requiring large companies to share data with the government about how they pay employees by race and gender – but human resources experts and advocates for equal pay say it’s unlikely to slow the push toward pay transparency employees, shareholders and local governments have demanded in recent years. Increasingly, employees are turning to popular websites like Glassdoor or Payscale to compare their salary data and expecting companies to publicly say they pay men and women equally. Shareholders have pushed technology and financial services companies to release their gender pay gap statistics. More state and local governments have passed pay equity laws, some of which require state contractors to report data or certify they pay men and women the same.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Calling all candidates – Editorial (DIERSEN: In Illinois, you should run as a Republican only if you can and if you will defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  Illinois Republicans should defeat primary candidates who have acted against the IRP platform and/or who hint/imply/argue/shout that they will act against the IRP platform if elected/reelected. One could argue that because Rauner and his supporters act against more and more and more planks in the IRP platform, Rauner and his supporters should run as Independents.)
http://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20170902/our-view-calling-all-candidates
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Help Wanted: Seeking numerous people for often thankless job. Must be willing to work ridiculously long hours, be criticized by those also seeking this position, and be enthusiastic about shaking hands and kissing babies. Successful candidates will be able to raise significant amounts of money on a daily basis, keep their composure even when being yelled at, and be willing to defend every statement or idea they’ve ever shared. When considering the negative, it’s a wonder anyone runs for public office. But the positives can outweigh the negatives, especially for those who truly seek to be an agent for change in order to improve the lives of friends and neighbors, or who want to be a part of public policy decisions that right wrongs or benefit more people. It is those people — the ones who want to better their communities — we hope to see run for office in 2018. Besides the six statewide constitutional offices, all 18 of Illinois’ districts in Congress, 39 of the 59 seats in the state Senate and all 118 seats in the Illinois House are on the ballot. So are a number of county seats, including clerks, treasurers, sheriffs, assessors and county board members; regional superintendents of schools; and some judgeships. The 2018 election may have already seemed to be in full swing, largely because the race for governor has been prominent since the beginning of the year. But the actual kick-off to next year’s election starts Tuesday, if you go by the first date listed in the state Election Board’s 2018 Election and Campaign Finance Calendar. Sept. 5 marks the first day those from established political parties can begin circulating nomination papers to get their name on the ballot. Those nominating petitions you may be asked to sign in the coming weeks can’t be filed until Nov. 27 to Dec. 4, at which point the March 20 primary races will start to come into focus. It’s safe to assume there will be a Democratic primary race for governor, given that nine people have declared their intent to run. It’s possible on the Republican side, although a serious challenger has yet to emerge.)

THE HILL
— It’s time to build the wall and fix our immigration system – NED RYUN
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/348995-its-time-to-build-the-wall-and-fix-our-immigration-system
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With President Trump likely to undo Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) next week, it highlights yet again that our immigration system is fundamentally broken. Our system of admittance is a decades old program based largely on nepotism and family ties, rather than any logical system of governance that benefits Americans. Rather than recruiting and attracting the best talent from other countries, our immigration system prioritizes bringing entire families. Combine this with our costly policies that allow illegal immigration across our southern border and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Jim Acosta’s press conference temper tantrum demonstrated a number of Americans no longer realize why a country would even control the flow of immigration. They stammer and stomp their feet about what they believe America stands for, but unfortunately are entirely uninformed on the history of American immigration policy. During the 19th century, America largely had an open immigration policy as the country expanded and moved west, although, individual restrictions were placed on contract laborers, criminals, and in some cases entire countries. Those immigration laws were rewritten over the last century to implement greater controls over America’s immigration policies. These controls are especially necessary as progressives created greater and greater welfare programs. Like it or not, we are a welfare society. Whether it’s healthcare, social security, unemployment, housing, or any of the other myriad of benefits Americans receive. Just Social Security and Medicare make up nearly 40 percent of the federal budget. Throw in Medicaid and you’re getting close to 50 percent. Naturalizing more citizens and enrolling more individuals with green cards further encumbers our welfare system. We know our welfare system is hugely overburdened and threatens to be entirely insolvent by within 20 years. Thankfully, reforms in 1996 prevented those with green cards from receiving many federal benefits until they have lived in the country for at least five years and met work requirements, but we cannot pretend like admitting more people into the country has no effect. The legislation recently introduced in the Senate, named the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act (RAISE) bill, is not some racist screed. It’s a clear, point based immigration system, very similar to systems already in place in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Rather than admit people based on the luck of the draw or ties to family already in the country, the RAISE system grades specific qualities that are valuable for our society. That means more young, highly educated, fiscally prepared individuals that are likely to integrate well into American society. This merit based system would help attract some of the best talent from around the world to come to our country and become Americans. But unfortunately that’s just not enough to deal with our immigration problems. Without serious proposals that actually build a wall on our southern border, problems will just continue. When you hear the Democrats talk about the new plan for President Trump’s border wall, you’d be forgiven if you thought they were the party of fiscal restraint and responsible spending. They’re breaking out the apocalyptic language to call into question the need to secure America’s borders or do anything to prevent the stream of illegal immigrants. Which is ironic given the fact that roughly ten years ago, three Democrat Senators by the names of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted to fund the Yuma Sector Wall to stop the flow of illegal crossings (and now Yuma has seen a 70 percent decrease in illegal crossings since 2006). There are many costs involved with illegals coming into our country, from our education and health care systems to our welfare systems, but we cannot forget that one of the largest financial strains from increased illegal immigration is the increased cost for law enforcement and incarceration. Consider the Government Accountability Office’s study from 2011 in which 251,000 criminal illegals were found to have committed on average twelve crimes and been arrested on average seven times: hardly the best use of our law enforcement. That same study showed another interesting fact: 68 percent of the criminal illegals sitting in federal prison and 66 percent sitting in state prison were from one country: Mexico. In addition to law enforcement resources dedicated to repeatedly arresting the same criminal illegals, the cost to incarcerate criminal illegals is nearly two billion in some years: a study shows Americans paid $1.87 billion to “house imprisoned illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2014.” As more criminal illegals cross the border, that number will only increase. Those crimes not only harm Americans (and a great number of legal immigrants) but also sap valuable time from police officers. In California, thousands of prisoners were released early to make room for the tens of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants, which number over 72,000. This criminal element coming across the border also exacerbates the drug epidemic sweeping the country. Compare these annual costs of law enforcement work and incarceration costs to the cost of a wall, which some think for a wall of 1,250 miles could be as high as $21.5 billion. Considering our annual ongoing costs of dealing with criminal illegals alone and that still looks like a bargain. As much as media elites want to pretend otherwise, this common-sense policy approach with changing our immigration system and building a wall would protect American citizens and make America stronger by enticing the best workers in the world to immigrate by modernizing the system.)

 

POLITICO
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who promote DACA argue that DREAMers should get sympathy because their parents brought them to America before they were adults. Should those like me get sympathy because their parents raised them to be Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), conservative, Republican, and/or American? Should those like me get sympathy because their parents are German American and/or because their ancestors came to America while slavery was still legal? Should those like me get sympathy because they were born White and/or male?  Were it not for my parents, I might very well be the following like more and more and more people are: anti-Trump, anti-MSL, 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://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/two-il-gop-lawmakers-file-effort-to-repeal-sanctuary-law.html
— ILLINOIS: WORTH FIGHTING FOR?
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/illinois-worth-fighting-for-.html
— Carl Segvich Comment
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/il-gop-warns-not-to-believe-misinformation-circulating-about-immigration-law.html
(THE COMMENT: Repute REPUGNANT “republican” Rauner as a DOUBLE AGENT Political Miasma The Republican Party of the 11th Ward of Chicago repudiates Bruce Rauner as a Democratic Party shill. RAUNER IS AN INFILTRATOR, a party-crasher working for the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party employs this Machiavellian strategy for decades. It is not just because he signed the Trust bill (SB31). He also promotes Islam over Christianity regarding advisers in Springfield. He is pro abortion. He also signed The Automatic Voter Registration Law, which makes our government automatically register anyone who updates their drivers license or state ID, as a voter. Bruce who amongst many lies, also said he wasn’t going to be involved in social issues, supports the deranged concept of “homosexual marriage”. Furthermore, public record shows that Bruce has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to several liberal Democrats such as Richard M. Daley, Ed Rendell, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. He is married to a liberal female who worked for Barack Obama, and brags that she and her husband Bruce are social justice warriors. The Republican Party of the shamelessly and notoriously corrupt 11th Ward of Chicago declares Bruce Rauner as a political cancer that has metastasized from Chicago throughout our United States of America, via the political schooling of the massively corrupt Daley family. Of course, this is all with nefarious collaboration of the Chicago press. Our United States of America is in her second civil war, although it is rather silent; Liberals are annihilating us Conservatives. We despise Bruce Rauner as repugnant and everything that is wrong with USA, politically. TRUST us. Carl Segvich – 11th Ward Republican Party Committeeman, Chicago)
— John F. Di Leo Comment
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/il-gop-warns-not-to-believe-misinformation-circulating-about-immigration-law.html
(THE COMMENT: We need a real conservative Republican candidate for Governor in this primary. One with some kind of elective office experience, as a decent size city mayor, or as a county chairman or sheriff, something like that, if we don’t have a good congressman or state legislator to run. Rauner will be defeated next November if he gets the nomination. This is just a fact, not just a wish. He maintained the tolerance of the GOP base until this summer, but his several capitulations this summer have killed whatever good will he had built up in the GOP. There is no reason for us to be enthused with him next November, so he cannot win. The GOP needs to recognize what it failed to recognize with the Mark Kirk seat in 2016 and the Percy seat in 1984: sometimes a candidate is lost before the election even arrives, so your best bet is to find some good new blood to run in the primary. We should’ve run Corcoran in 1984. We should’ve run Jack Ryan in 2004. We should’ve run James Marter in 2016 (or found a county chairman or sheriff to run instead)…Our only hope of saving the executive mansion – for this critical term that contains the next redistricting map – is if someone other than Bruce Rauner is the GOP nominee.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— A Clear Reading of SB 31 Reveals Illinois is Now a Sanctuary State – John Biver
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/clear-reading-sb-31-reveals-illinois-now-sanctuary-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is not difficult to understand the long-running dream of Leftists to import more future Democratic Party voters from other countries. Some of their most loyal supporters will be those who broke federal law to come here and were then protected by the Democratic Party. Leftists are talented when it comes to the strategic manipulation of language. Just as centuries-old mainline Christian doctrine is now referred to as “hate,” illegal aliens are referred to as “undocumented immigrants.” Tolerance now means intolerance. The “Affordable Care Act” made health insurance unaffordable for millions of Americans. The “Trust Act” means you can trust that we don’t care if you’re here illegally. As “blue” as Illinois is, Democratic Party leaders and their supporters know that even here you must be careful with language. And if you alter SB 31 enough, you can even deny it’s a sanctuary bill. Some people are upset that the ruse didn’t work.)

— Media and the Politics of Misdirection – Jack Hellner
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/08/media_and_the_politics_of_misdirection.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On a side note: As an Illinois resident, I am so proud to have a pretend-Republican governor who believes being a sanctuary state is the way to go. As Illinois chases away taxpayers and businesses with higher taxes, he welcomes in more illegal immigrants. That will obviously help Illinois. Our politicians are so brilliant in Illinois that we have a 16% maximum estate tax while many states have zero. It seems to be above the comprehension of Madigan and others to understand why the wealthy move away or won’t come to spend and invest their money here. It is such a tough concept to understand. Does Rauner think Madigan, Emanuel, other Democrats and reporters will now be more receptive to Rauner and will support him in the next election, because he welcomes people willing to break our immigration laws?)

If I had been a veteran, my Democrat GAO superiors would NOT have forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, would NOT have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, would have promoted me beyond GS-13, would NOT have kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and would NOT have forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  If I had been a veteran, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, they would NOT have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they would NOT have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner’s Illinois Republican Party – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Ever-increasingly, by his words and by his actions, Rauner and his allies make it clear that they want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to get rid of precinct committeemen/captains, township/ward party officers, county party officers, IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members, IRP offices, the IRP National Committeeman, the IRP National Committeewoman, etc. a) who support Trump and/or b) who oppose promoting LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, etc.  This is not new.  Since at least the 1970s, the IRP has been dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-Republicans.  Things are going to get even worse for Illinois Republicans as long as Illinois Republicans are prohibited from directly electing IRP SCC members.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-immigration-20170828-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Rauner’s campaign put an additional $500,000 into the Illinois GOP last week, further cementing it as an extension of the governor’s re-election. With the latest contribution, the governor personally or through his campaign fund has donated about $31.1 million to the state Republican Party since he became its nominee for governor in March 2014. Rauner donations account for 68.5 percent of the nearly $45.4 million that the state GOP has raised during that time period. The party also has gotten sizable donations from the House Republican campaign committee and some GOP candidates that occurred after they received big checks from the Rauner campaign. Rauner hasn’t been shy that he wants to erode the Democratic majorities in the General Assembly to help accomplish his agenda. The state GOP was a central repository for Rauner money for Republican legislative elections last year. During a stop in Marion last week, Rauner complained about the legislature’s Democratic dominance under House Speaker Michael Madigan and lamented court rulings that struck down attempts to put term limits and changes in legislative redistricting on the ballot as proposed constitutional amendments. “We need to get people elected in the legislature who support term limits and fair maps, and we’ll get this done. This is a goal we will never give up on. But they defeated us so far. But we’ll get it done,” he said.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-immigration-20170828-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, opposed the measure and said Rauner would be better off being in Springfield and “working against a Chicago bailout” of its public schools. “I do not think this legislation is necessary,” McSweeney said of the immigration measure. “We don’t need to limit the ability of our police officers to enforce the laws.”)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/rauner-in-chicago-to-sign-immigrant-rights-voter-registration-bills/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A slew of groups that advocate for the rights of undocumented residents are say the law offers the strongest state-level protections of the due-process rights of people facing deportation. “This bill will provide an unprecedented level of protection for Illinois’ half-million undocumented residents who could otherwise enter the deportation pipeline through any simple interaction with police, including a traffic violation or a call to report a crime,” according to a joint news release issued by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the National Immigrant Justice Center. “Once the TRUST Act is enacted, Illinois will be the gold standard for statewide protections against deportation.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Biggest Misconception About Today’s College Students – Gail O. Mellow  (DIERSEN: Do you have a degree from an Ivy League school?  While I have four college degrees, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that none of them are from Ivy League schools.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/opinion/community-college-misconception.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You might think the typical college student lives in a state of bliss, spending each day moving among classes, parties and extracurricular activities. But the reality is that an increasingly small population of undergraduates enjoys that kind of life. Of the country’s nearly 18 million undergraduates, more than 40 percent go to community college, and of those, only 62 percent can afford to go to college full-time. By contrast, a mere 0.4 percent of students in the United States attend one of the Ivies. The typical student is not the one burnishing a fancy résumé with numerous unpaid internships. It’s just the opposite: Over half of all undergraduates live at home to make their degrees more affordable, and a shocking 40 percent of students work at least 30 hours a week. About 25 percent work full-time and go to school full-time. The typical college student is also not fresh out of high school. A quarter of undergraduates are older than 25, and about the same number are single parents. These students work extremely hard to make ends meet and simultaneously get the education they need to be more stable: A two-year degree can earn students nearly 20 percent more annually than just a high school diploma.)

MCHENRY TIMES
— OUTSTANDING: Republicans warn Rauner against making Illinois sanctuary state – Carrie Bradon
https://mchenrytimes.com/stories/511197146-republicans-warn-rauner-against-making-illinois-sanctuary-state
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six Republican legislators have sent a letter to Gov. Bruce Rauner to urge him to veto the state’s sanctuary bill, SB31, according to a press release. Under the bill, immigrants in Illinois would be provided with an extra level of protection, limiting the reach of federal agents. The letter, signed by Reps. Allen Skillicorn (R-Algonquin), David Welter (R-Morris), John Cabello (R-Machesney Park), Tom Morrison (R-Palatine), and Sens. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) and Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove), says elected officials, the federal government and law enforcement agencies are already dedicated to protecting individuals and the Constitution. “We agree in checks and balances, but the State should not interfere with lawful action by the federal government,” the letter says. Rauner is expected to sign the measure on Monday.)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Rauner opens a breach with conservatives over Sanctuary State – John Kass  (DIERSEN: What are the logical extensions of this?  Rauner just gave $500,000 to the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Logical extensions of Rauner’s dumping more and more and more planks in IRP platform include more and more and more pressure on the IRP National Committeeman, IRP National Committeewoman, IRP officers and State Central Committee members, county party officers, and township/ward party officers to dump those precinct committeemen and captains who support the planks that Runer has dumped. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their party’s platform. The more planks in the IRP platform that Rauner dumps, the more that Rauner dumps the IRP.  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the planks in the IRP platform that he has dumped?  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains who he has dumped?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-bruce-rauner-john-kass-0827-20170825-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner a leader being unmercifully squeezed by Chicago Machine Democrats?  Or is he just another transactional man, a politician without a core, lost in the winds and beginning to frighten his campaign contributors? . . . “I said this could be the last straw, and every day I’m feeling it worse,” state Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, told me in an interview. “And this isn’t just the ‘right wing’ that’s angry. These are union members too, loyal union men trying to protect American jobs, and the last thing they need to see is a Republican governor making Illinois a sanctuary state.” McCarter’s part of southern Illinois decidedly voted for President Donald Trump, largely on Trump’s call to control illegal immigration. “In this 15th Congressional District, the president won (with) 70 percent,” McCarter said. “And for the governor to go against the president — and make illegal immigrants a priority as we’re facing a fiscal crisis in Illinois — it’s just not good policy and it’s not good politics.” Rauner isn’t going to pick up votes of Democrats or Latinos if he signs the sanctuary state bill. On Friday, he vetoed a bill mandating a $15 minimum wage. He won’t get love from the left. But now he’s looking squishy to his base, and that’s disastrous. It will cost him votes in the suburbs and downstate. And he can’t give votes away. . .”If Rauner signs this Sanctuary State thing, and his office said he’s going to sign it, then he’s complicating the message Republicans will be using in the elections,” McCarter said. “We’ll have to say, we support the governor on some things and not on others. That’s not what you want. That not a unified message. That’s not good politics. And it just makes the state House and Senate races more difficult.”)

In today’s dollars in 1966, I earned $9.49/hour. (SEE: https://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/items/1966-united-states-minimum-wage)  That job enabled me to earn and save enough money to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 a) that I used to commute to jobs cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline during the summer of 1966 and delivering mail 1966-1967 and b) that I used to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1967. In December of 1967, I sold it and used that money and money that I had earned and saved delivering mail to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442.)

They backed off after Henry Hyde intervened for me, but I am sure that my critics/opponents did not want Hyde to intervene for me arguing that I was not worth the effort or even worse things.)

INDEPENDENT
— Donald Trump’s Republican Party condemns white supremacy after president’s mixed response to Charlottesville violence  Some members nonetheless complain it is unnecessary – Harriet Agerholm  (DIERSEN: Of course, anti-Trumps will use this resolution to viciously demonize, to viciously denigrate, and to viciously condemn Trump and all his supporters as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots and even worse things.)
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/republican-national-committee-white-supremacy-donald-trump-charlottesville-heather-heyer-a7913891.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s Republican Party has condemned white supremacists, within days of the president coming fire for his equivocating response to racially charged violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. “The racist beliefs of Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and other like-minded groups are completely inconsistent with the Republican Party’s platform”, a resolution passed by its national committee stated. It came after Mr Trump failed to condemn white supremacists in his initial response to the violence in Charlottesville, which left one woman dead. The US leader was criticized after he blamed the violence on “many sides”.)
