— University of Illinois-Chicago to Offer Free Rides to State’s Top Students (DIERSEN: When you were in grade school and high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” When was in grade school and in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

— JB Pritzker Fields Questions from High School Students – Nick Blumberg (DIERSEN: Political consultants and campaign managers who are Democrats or Democrat plants, Libertarians or Libertarian plants, Greens or Green plants, or RINOs do not want me to ask their candidates any questions. I should write a book about the aforesaid political consultants and campaign managers and what they have done to discourage/stop me from asking their candidates any questions. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions, and that because of that, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. should a) stop me from learning about their events and other activities, b) stop me from promoting their events and other activities, c) stop me from attending their events, and d) stop me from reporting on their events and other activities.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— In Deciding On Judge Candidates, Does Party Affiliation Matter? – MARY HANSEN (DIERSEN: To say that you are a Democrat is to shout that you will do everything that you can to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, Christian, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

How successful have the “Chicago-area pro-choice activists” been in promoting hatred in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? I should write a book about “pro-choice activists” in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation may have ended, but it’s ignited a group of Chicago-area pro-choice activists. They’re launching WomenAreTheBlueWave.com to turn red legislative seats blue. “We marched. We voted. Now we need to volunteer,” the web site states. The effort was initiated by Illinois Democratic Women and Personal PAC. “Women are going to make the difference in November here and throughout the nation and we want to help harness that energy given that more is at stake now than ever before for women and families,” says Jennifer Lee, co-President of IL Democratic Women. How it works: Women and their allies are invited to sign up at WomenAreTheBlueWave.com. They will then be connected with nearby local campaigns that need volunteer help the most to flip key state districts for candidates with pro-women and pro-choice agendas.)

— Democrats even dump pro-choice women when they don’t toe the party line – Suzanne Venker (DIERSEN: Who has dumped you and why? Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs have dumped me a) because they came to realize that they cannot manipulate/dominate me, b) because they reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and/or the Republican Party platform, c) because they reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling, and/or d) because they want to promote booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. I should write a book about those who have dumped me. I would stress those elected officials and those party leaders who I have done lots to help elect and to help reelect.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-rauner-pritzker-busy-week-ahead-20181007-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party, which has been heavily subsidized by Gov. Rauner, has gotten a cash infusion of more than $850,000 from a variety of sources. The House Republican Organization, the campaign funding arm of House GOP lawmakers and candidates, gave the state GOP $500,000. The HRO has also received significant funding from Rauner. In addition, the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee gave the party $200,000, while Rauner’s hand-picked state Republican chairman, Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, added another $80,000. Barrett Davie, a Republican state Senate candidate from Lake Forest who is challenging Democratic state Sen. Julie Morrison of Deerfield, also gave the state GOP $70,000. Davie also has been the beneficiary of more than $300,000 from conservative Republican mega-donor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-columbus-day-columbus-ohio-20181008-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But it became the subject of protests last year over Columbus’ enslavement of native people, with the protest’s organizer supporting renaming the city itself. “Christopher Columbus was an agent of and continues to be a symbol of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas,” Elissa Washuta, a protester and member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, told the Columbus Dispatch in August 2017.)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrat’s poll shows Casten ahead of Roskam by 5 points – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/?post_type=cst_article&p=1411456
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among women voters polled, Casten is up 15 points — 54 percent to 39 percent. For men voters polled, Roskam is up by 7 points — 50 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll. Casten is also performing better with voters age 18 to 39 — polling 58 percent to Roskam’s 25 percent. The race between Roskam, who has held the seat since 2007, and Casten, a political newcomer and a former energy company executive, is under a microscope nationally as Democrats try to regain control of the chamber. Roskam’s campaign said they’re aware the race is close but expressed optimism in the incumbent’s chances. The campaign on Sunday also sought to link Casten to Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, echoing TV ads which say “both would make us pay a lot more” in taxes. “We are confident voters will stick with Peter Roskam, who has been an effective leader for Illinois and is rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress,” spokeswoman Veronica Vera said.)

— WHY YOU NEED NEW CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA & SEARCH Stop being censored by Facebook, Google and Twitter
https://www.wnd.com/2018/10/why-you-need-new-conservative-social-media-search/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have you been a victim of censorship? If you are a conservative, it is almost certain Facebook, Google, Twitter or another high tech company put some type of restriction on the information you need. Your posts may be blocked or shadowbanned. Perhaps, important news is hidden from you. It is a matter of freedom or tyranny. Many people are asking, what is the solution? USA.Life social network and 1776Free.com search engine are the answer to Facebook, Google and Twitter censoring Christians, conservatives and liberty. These new sites are being built by Steven Andrew, a Silicon Valley technology and Christian leader. He set up a crowdfunding page to launch the sites and people are chipping in to save our freedoms. Already, they have exceeded $200,000. When Andrew saw Facebook block tens of millions of his posts from followers, he decided to use his Internet business and leadership skills to make these pro-America alternatives. How can these new sites save the Internet for you and your loved ones? Here are three important reasons why you need USA.Life and 1776Free.com. 1. Freely Share Life, Liberty and Happiness Andrew found big tech blocks pro-American values. Your God-given rights are being restricted. Important things like God, family values, securing the borders for your safety, gun rights, life, the Constitution and traditional marriage are being attacked by these big tech companies. A report found Google gave 96% liberal news against President Trump. This affects elections. USA.Life and 1776Free.com use a Pro-America Algorithm (TM), so you can always share and find life, liberty and happiness. You can freely talk about American values, without being restricted. This makes you and your loved ones safe, strong and blessed. 2. Privacy News reports reveal Facebook, Google and others track almost all private details of your life. This spying is unAmerican. However, USA.Life and 1776Free.com give you privacy. Only a minimal amount of information is used. If you delete something, it is deleted. There is no selling of your personal data to third parties. 3. Real News Liberal big tech companies updated their algorithms, so conservatives get less traffic, according to reports. They promote fake news outlets, which is a danger to national security. USA.Life and 1776Free.com are different. They give you real news, so you know the truth about what is going on. You and your family gain real knowledge. Learn More Without USA.Life and 1776Free.com, your freedom and privacy could be lost forever. However, the Internet can be saved if 58,000 people give $10, or if 5,800 supporters give $100. New members are joining every day by signing up for a free account. Joining now gives users access to preferred usernames and project updates. Don’t be trapped with anti-American Facebook, Google and Twitter, sign up today. With these new sites, you help save the USA.)

FORBES
— Think Again If You Plan To Work Longer – Teresa Ghilarducci (DIERSEN: How long do you plan to work? I planned to work at least until I would be eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003. But my Democrat superiors in the federal government succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement offer when I was 49 in 1997. Consequently, my pension is only $51,864, or only 41% of what my $125,325 salary was in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/teresaghilarducci/2018/10/08/think-again-if-you-plan-to-work-past-65/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When 52% of older workers are pushed out of their jobs, working longer is not their choice. The stark truth is that a significant share of older workers — age 55-64 — are not anywhere near being on track to afford retirement. The median retirement account balance for older workers is only $15,000. Even the highest income workers — those earning over $200,000 per year who are in the top ten percent of the income distribution — do not have enough money to retire and maintain their standard of living. Their median account balance is under a year’s salary at $200,000 and 15% of the highest earners have no retirement plan except Social Security. For nearly 20 years, the advice to older people is to make to make up for inadequate retirement wealth by working longer. Yet, from 2008 to 2014, at least 52% of retirees over 55 left their last job involuntarily as a result of direct job loss (they were laid off or their business closed or changed ownership); they felt they were pushed out so they quit; or their health deteriorated; or they had to leave work to take care of a sick family member.)

Some think it has less to do with good journalism and more to do with the friendship between the newspaper’s reporter and a controversial member of the Tollway Authority board who has been criticized in a Tollway memo for harassing Tollway employees – Ray Hanania

EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER
— German heritage deep in Illinois? – Tom Emery (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. In government and in politics, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use everything that they can, including your national origin, against you. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, including those of German national origin, who have used my German national origin against me.)
https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/German-heritage-deep-in-Illinois-Ja-13283656.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saturday is German-American Day, which is observed every Oct. 6. In Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War — and two world wars against the old country. Of Illinois’ nearly 1.8 million residents in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8 percent of the state’s total population. In Chicago, 20 percent of the population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. A heavy concentration of Germans also was found in St. Clair County, near Belleville. Others settled in cities such as Quincy, Alton, Peoria, Springfield and Galena. In the northern Illinois community of Peru, Germans made up 1,000 of the total population of 3,500 in 1854. The names of a number of communities across the state honor German heritage, including New Baden, New Minden, Germantown, Darmstadt and Meppen. Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, remains visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smaller cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced materials in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as Illinois governor for 10 months in 1860 and 1861, was born to a German mother. In 1892, Prussia native John Altgeld, best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot, won election for one term as Illinois governor. Politically, Germans’ support was crucial for a candidate, and their power was felt in 1856 during the first Illinois Republican state convention. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race and, at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted during the first six months of the Civil War, comprising almost three entire regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the once-prominent German language faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the Census dropped more than 41 percent, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort, both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland — as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt — feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, and the Quad Cities.)

WEALTHY RETIREMENT
— Age Discrimination Is Alive and Well – Steve McDonald (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am 70. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://wealthyretirement.com/slap-in-the-face/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-age-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s one for all of us who have been forced out of a job or were forced into early retirement because of our ages. In 1974, my uncle Stephen was forced to retire at the age of 64. He was a 40-year veteran of a big-time hotel business, and his work was his life. But his employer had a rule that you had to leave at age 64. No discussion! Unfair? Yeah, just a little. It gets worse… Age discrimination has been illegal in this country since 1967. But you’d be hard-pressed to convince any boomers of that fact, especially if they, a friend or a relative lose their job after the age of 50. The fact is, age discrimination is alive and well in the U.S., and it is the only kind of discrimination that is accepted and ignored by everyone. Race and sex discrimination have been on the front burner since I was kid. Despite the fact that boomers are retiring in droves (10,000 per day) and many have to work to make it in retirement, holding or finding a job after the age of 50 is next to impossible. Off the top of my head, I can think of two friends who lost their jobs after age 50. One is an attorney. It took him almost two years to find another job. The other, a 35-year veteran of the mutual fund business, couldn’t find another position and had to retire early. Every thinking person knows it was their age that was the barrier. Now, because the Gen Xers are right behind us, the numbers are just getting too big to ignore any longer. But the cavalry may finally be on the horizon. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) just closed an age discrimination case against a restaurant chain, which cost the chain $12 million. The acting chair of the EEOC, Victoria Lipnic, stated in a recent article that age is now an enforcement priority for her commission. This shift in enforcement is too late for the three out of five of us who have been the victims of age discrimination or have seen it in action, but it’s something of a moral victory. Years of research have shown that age is not a predictor of performance. In fact, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the workplace wisdom older workers bring with them actually makes them more effective and efficient. Fifty years of ignoring this travesty appears to be coming to an end. This has to stop. Not just because it’s wrong, but also because too many boomers have to work well into their golden years and there aren’t enough Walmarts to employ all of us as greeters.)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-battleground-special-rep/special-report-the-trump-trap-republicans-duck-president-in-key-house-races-idUSKCN1MF13Y
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six-term Representative Peter Roskam has a good sense of how voters in Illinois’ 6th Congressional District feel about the president. Despite re-electing the Republican congressman in 2016, they backed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Trump by nearly 7 percentage points. The district typifies the battlegrounds where Republican candidates face anti-Trump headwinds: a fast-growing suburb west of Chicago with a median income near $100,000. Roskam has made no statements of support for Trump on his website or in posts this year to his social media accounts. He acknowledges that associating himself with the president might do more harm than good. Having Trump campaign for him in the district “obviously wouldn’t be helpful,” he said in an interview. Roskam has criticized Trump’s tariffs on imported goods and has decried the administration’s separation of immigrant children from parents. After Trump held a July press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin and refused to condemn Putin for interference in the 2016 U.S. elections, Roskam called Trump’s performance “an affront to American democracy.” But Roskam notes that he also backs the president on issues important to pro-Trump voters, such as raising military spending and lowering taxes. In an August tweet, Roskam described as “absurd” a statement by his Democratic opponent comparing Trump with al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden. “This district is discerning,” Roskam said, and voters want a candidate who will represent their interests independent of the president. But Roskam’s reluctance to embrace Trump isn’t enough for some of the anti-Trump Republicans he’s trying to capture. “Peter Roskam has distanced himself from Trump, but he doesn’t stand up to him,” said Bill Wentz, 73, a lifelong Republican and former federal government lawyer. Roskam hasn’t done enough to fight the president on economic policies that Wentz says undermine traditional Republican support for free markets by picking “winners and losers.” He also is uncomfortable with Trump’s failure to fully embrace U.S. intelligence agencies’ finding that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections. Wentz’s answer: vote for Roskam’s Democratic opponent, Sean Casten. Fostering enthusiasm among disaffected Republicans without alienating Trump loyalists is a tall order, says Christine Matthews, a pollster advising Republican candidates. The president’s core supporters “don’t want to see any distance between you and Trump,” Matthews says, while some college-educated Republicans and independents are “motivated to vote against Trump.” Reuters/Ipsos polling suggests the number of Republicans who are so turned off that they are likely to stay home is relatively small. Among moderate, registered Republicans with college degrees and incomes of $75,000 or more – a group somewhat less supportive of Trump than other Republicans – less than 1 percent say they don’t plan to vote. The bigger threat is the 14 percent in that Republican demographic who, like Wentz in Illinois, say they will back a Democrat or a third-party candidate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Around 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day, and the same number will continue doing so for years. Some are on solid financial ground after a lifetime of planning and the fortune of well-timed home purchases and stock investments. Most of the rest are unprepared. Fifty-four percent of households with middle incomes—ranging from around $48,000 to $95,000 a year—don’t have enough saved to maintain their quality of living in retirement, according to the Boston College Center for Retirement Research. Some of those who saved were hit by unforeseen health-care costs. Others took on debt for education. Yet more made investment mistakes or lost their savings in the 2008 financial crisis. Those wildly different circumstances are leading to hard-to-resolve social tensions, which are playing out every day at retirement communities across the country.)

— ANGRY IVES weighs in on toilet scandal – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/10/04/angry-ives-weighs-in-on-toilet-scandal-atty-gen-to-investigate-rauner-pugilism-in-govs-debate-321268
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hold everything. Jeanne Ives just weighed in on the governor’s race and boy is she mad. The state rep who lost to Gov. Bruce Rauner in a bitter GOP primary wants the Illinois Department of Revenue to investigate how Democrat J.B. Pritzker got a tax break by pulling toilets out of his second home, thus lowering the property value. Is this a gift to Rauner? Nope. Ives hasn’t even talked to the governor. “This is my hot-button issue,” Ives told POLITICO. “It sticks in my craw big-time. Who does that? M.K. grew up in South Dakota, the same state I did,” Ives said, referring to Pritzker’s wife. “No one does this. I don’t know where she learned these kinds of shenanigans. But normal people don’t do it. I’m angry. You don’t cheat this way. If the damned Democrats don’t prosecute this, then why would anyone stay in this state just to be treated unfairly by the political ruling class.” Hiding property wealth, says Ives, just shortchanges schools and leaves taxpayers holding the bag. Pritzker has maintained the toilets were pulled as part of a renovation project, but Ives doesn’t buy it. She’s been studying property-tax fairness for years—even talked to Rauner about legislation address how property values are assessed in Illinois. “He never took it up.” The conservative darling’s re-entry into the political fray could help advance Rauner’s case. But Rauner also has his own investigation to worry about. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called for a criminal probe into Rauner’s handling of the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at the Quincy veterans’ home. “We are investigating whether any laws were violated in the response to the risks of an outbreak of Legionella at the Quincy veterans’ home, where many people died,” Madigan spokeswoman Maura Possley said in a statement.)

My GAO salary in 1997 was $125,325 in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $51,864. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being 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.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/controversy-surrounds-highest-paid-illinois-school-superintendent
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They say money’s tight at the small district, comprised of three schools and 1,100 students. Except for Superintendent Paraday, who this year will earn a salary of $309,000. But that’s not all. Paraday’s contract also calls for a car allowance, insurance benefits, retirement annuity and other goodies driving up his annual compensation to $407,000 — the highest of any Illinois school superintendent. And that’s not all. When Paraday retires on October 31st, Calumet City taxpayers will be handing him a big Halloween treat. “Open the Books” and FOX 32 found a clause in Paraday’s contract that allows him to collect cash for unused time off. Since 2005, he’s accumulated 567 days of unused vacation, sick time and personal days. Based on Paraday’s current salary, he’ll cash those days in for more than $762,000.)

CHICAGO BUSINESS JOURNAL
— OPPOSITION RESEARCH: DuPage County Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, To Host Free October 6th Inaugural “Get out the Vote Concert” at DuPage County Fairgrounds to Increase Voter Turnout and Introduce Voters to Candidates

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180921005553/en/
(FROM THE PROMOTION: Statewide Candidates Including JB Pritzker and Kwame Raoul and Democratic Candidates in DuPage County to Attend News Highlights Entertainment by Award Winning Musicians, Orbert Davis of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Jazz Vocalist of the Year Tammy McCann, and Ralph Covert of The Bad Examples and Ralph’s World. Several delicious food trucks by Chicagoland’s best including Mario Cart’s Race to the Taste. The Beer Cellar from Glen Ellyn will be on hand to sell fresh, local craft beer from Illinois. Family-friendly activities which include a mock voting event for children, with voting booths, ballots and stickers; seasonal activities for children, including: face painting, pumpkin painting and balloon artists and photo booth. Help Lynn Win, the organization supporting DuPage County Board Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, is hosting a free “Get Out The Vote Concert” on Saturday, October 6 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds at 2015 Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL from 3PM to 7PM. For the very first time, constituents in DuPage County will have a chance to hear from the largest gathering of Democratic candidates in the state. Ms. LaPlante commented, “This is a watershed event in an historically red DuPage County. We have never had a full Democratic ballot for voters to choose from before. Currently, there is one Democrat out of nineteen County Board Members. A Democrat or a woman has never held the office of Chairman in the history of DuPage County—179 years! It is time to change that. For the first time in its history, voters will be able to hear from and meet a full ballot of inspiring Democratic candidates, from the judges at bottom of the ballot to gubernatorial candidates at the top. Many of the candidates attending the event, including JB Pritzker, are first time candidates like me, following President Obama’s wise words that ‘change only happens when ordinary people get involved.”)

For sure, Money Magazine would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, and provably not either if I was not 100% German national origin and baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Money Magazine despises, if not hates those who share my demographics.)
