CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Thankful for our pets – Mona Charen  (DIERSEN: Dog ownership is extremely time-consuming and expensive.  One reason why I can afford to spend 10+ hours each and every day to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and to send them out each and every day is that I have never owned a dog.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/mona-charen-thankful-for-our-pets/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans spent $15.4 billion on veterinary care in 2015 (only half of it by my family). The average American spends more on pets annually than on alcohol, landline phones or men’s and boys’ clothing. We spend more on veterinary care for our dogs than the average person spends for his own medical care in the Dominican Republic, Egypt, India and many other countries. Even knowing that we’re a devoted nation of pet lovers, it’s still surreal to visit the specialists’ office and see the range of possibilities on the office wall — cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, etc, etc. We’ll need the oncologist soon.)
— On this Thanksgiving, let’s give each other a break – Editorial  (DIERSEN: Who gives you a break?  My critics/opponents would say that they are giving me a break by letting me continue on as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman.  However, they hint/imply/argue/shout that they have more than enough religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage Country, and in Illinois that they could end my aforesaid positions overnight.  They stress that my supporters did little or nothing to help me keep my positions as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.  My critics/opponents crow that they can, that they have, and that they will viciously destroy anyone who supports me.)

RUSS STEWART
— CLINTON GOT 83.7% OF CHICAGO VOTE, BUT THERE WERE STILL 134,792 “DEPLORABLES” (DIERSEN: I am a deplorable, that is, I am a Republican. If I had more time, I would analyze the DuPage vote and the Milton Township vote to identify those precincts which have the most deplorabes in total and as a percentage of registered voters.)
http://www.russstewart.com/articles/2016/11-23-2016.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mark Twain popularized the saying that there are “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” In Chicago, and by extrapolation Cook County and Illinois, there were truths, damn truths and stunning statistics on Nov. 8. The most fundamental truth is that when a candidate such as Hillary Clinton wins Chicago 907,920-134,792, a margin of 773,128 votes, Illinois is gone. There is no way for a Republican to counteract that vote margin in the Collar Counties and Downstate. Clinton won the state by 859,319 votes, with Chicago supplying 90 percent of that margin. Chicago may be a “sanctuary city,” but Republicans are vanishing quicker than illegal aliens. Wait a minute, are any “undocumenteds” vanishing? Mitt Romney got 148,181 votes in Chicago in 2012, while Donald Trump got 134,792 votes, a paltry 12.4 percent and a diminution of 13,389 votes, on Nov. 8. Trump won a majority in 25, or 1.2 percent, of Chicago’s 2,116 precincts, four in the 41st Ward and two in the 38th Ward on the Northwest Side and 13 in the 19th Ward, four in the 23rd Ward and two in the 13th Ward on the Southwest Side. Trump averaged an anemic 63 votes per precinct. Bruce Rauner averaged 64 votes in 2014, but Pat Quinn got 407,107 fewer votes than Clinton did. On that trajectory, by 2028 or soon thereafter, the Republican vote may fall under 5 percent countywide and Republicans would lose their ballot line. Clinton got 95.4 percent of the vote in Chicago’s 18 black-majority wards, 87.1 percent in the 11 Hispanic-majority wards and 84.6 percent in the seven affluent, mostly white, Lakefront wards. Chicago has become “Manhattan West,” or maybe “San Francisco East,” conspicuously, congenitally and compulsively liberal. As for Chicago’s black wards, they’re “Harlem West,” with Trump’s 13,286 votes here only slightly exceeding his total in New York’s predominantly black neighborhood. Trump got 3 percent or less of the vote in 11 of the 18 black-majority wards. He lost the 24th Ward 15,932-245. Trump averaged 738 votes in those 18 wards. The Republicans have ceased to be a nuisance, and they now are a nonentity. Truth number one is that, like the rest of the country, Clinton did not replicate Obama’s 2012 showing among black voters. Obama got 422,727 votes in the black-majority Chicago wards in 2012, while Clinton got 363,621 in this election, a falloff of 59,100 votes, as is shown in the attached chart. In Illinois that decline didn’t matter, as Clinton’s vote increased among Hispanics and white liberals. You can’t lose Illinois coming out of Chicago with a 907,920-134,792, 83.7 percent, majority, which is a margin of 773,128 votes. However, Clinton got 54,818 more votes in Chicago than Obama got in 2012. Clinton won Illinois by 859,319 votes, almost as good as Obama’s 884,296-vote margin in 2012. In other urbanized Great Lakes states, such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, a 10 to 15 percent decline in the black vote tipped those states to Trump. Truth number two is that, unlike the rest of the country, white male blue collar workers and those in law enforcement failed to defect to Trump in significant numbers. Only in the Far Northwest Side 41st Ward, which is chock full of cops and firefighters, did Trump even come close. The Clinton-Trump vote was 14,042-11,457, a 52.3 percent win and a margin of 2,585 votes, with Trump winning a majority in four of 47 precincts and getting 40 to 49 percent of the vote in another 28. Clinton actually did better there than Obama, who won 13,134-11,048. Clinton got 908 more votes than Obama got in 2012, while Trump, who got 42.6 percent of the vote in the ward, ran just 409 votes ahead of Romney, who got 44.9 percent. Given all the hysteria and the nasty $4 million Michael McAuliffe-Merry Marwig race for state representative, turnout in the 41st Ward increased from 24,634 in 2012 to 26,867 in this election. The 41st Ward encompasses Edison Park, Norwood Park and Oriole Park, and it is to Chicago what Staten Island is to New York, an enclave of conservativism. McAuliffe won the ward 11,050-7,783. Debatably, the Trump vote was more of a positive than a negative for McAuliffe. McAuliffe said that he had “a lot of Trump negativity” in the Park Ridge areas of the district, but that wasn’t the case in the 41st Ward, which has 34 precincts in the district. In fact, the Nov. 8 statistics are astounding. On the Northwest Side, except for the recalcitrant 41st Ward, the Clinton vote was 5 to 10 percent greater than the 2012 Obama vote.)

http://www.workers.org/2016/11/23/trump-targets-federal-workers/#.WDbIDhHxZZI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is evidence that the incoming Trump administration plans to target federal workers, including privatizing the Department of Veteran Affairs, to reduce the size of the federal workforce and substantially cut wages. Among the right-wing ideologues and advisors to Donald Trump on federal workers is Newt Gingrich, coauthor of the infamous “Contract with America” (more aptly called a “Contract ON ‘America’ “) released by the Republican Party in 1994. It outlined austerity plans to decimate the working class as a whole and to specifically target federal workers. Gingrich was asked how this change would be managed in an interview with Lisa Rein of the Washington Post. “So there are two groups in Washington on this issue who are initially opposed,” stated Gingrich. “First you have the hard-line federal employee unions. They’re like the teachers union in New York. They are parallels. They are the group, that no matter how sick it is, they have a vested interest in the old order.” (Oct. 19). These cryptic comments refer to limiting collective bargaining rights, removing due process rights and cutting wages. Gingrich holds up Scott Walker, the anti-union governor of Wisconsin who devastated public employee unions and employee pensions, as a model. Gingrich used the example of short-staffed VA workers in Texas who were forced by management, under penalty of being charged with “insubordination,” to make phony appointments for veterans and then list them as “no-shows.” Instead of placing the blame where it should be — on incompetent and corrupt management officials who received bonuses for the volume of calls received and answered — he blames the workers who are the victims. This scam was finally exposed by an employee whistleblower and led to a shakeup in the agency. Like sharks smelling blood and going into a feeding frenzy, the ruling class began to use this example to put federal workers further under the chopping block. Paul Ryan, current Speaker of the House, views federal workers as a “privileged class.” When Ryan sat on the House Ways and Means Committee, which determines budgets for federal agencies, he proposed freezing workers’ pay for five years; raising the bar on performance standards; increasing the workload on employees by not backfilling when workers retire, resign or are terminated; and decreasing employee leave time, among other measures. Ryan’s ideas were copied from the right-wing Heritage Foundation’s “Blueprint for Reform.” Jessica Klement, the legislative director for the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, refuted the blueprint: “The report starts with the assumption that federal pay and benefits are overly generous, and not in line with the private sector, and therefore need to be decreased. This assumption is wholly inaccurate. Most federal jobs lag behind their private sector counterparts.” The Federal Salary Council says federal employees are underpaid by an average of 35 percent. (fedsmith.com, July 16) Trump, however, plans to increase pay and benefits as well as new hires for the National Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to carry out his racist and anti-immigrant plans.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-morning-spin-rauner-emanuel-20161122-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senate lawmakers have scheduled a hearing to examine abuse and neglect at the state’s group homes for people with developmental disabilities following an investigation by the Chicago Tribune that found a system where basic care is lacking and harm is hidden by regulators. The Tribune found at least 42 deaths linked to abuse or neglect in group homes or their day programs in the last seven years, as care often fell to employees who were unlicensed or poorly trained. The hearing will take place at 9 a.m. Nov. 30 at the state Capitol in Springfield.)

— Democrats’ dilemma: working with Trump may make him more popular – Steven T. Dennis, Laura Litvan and Billy House  (DIERSEN: Who works with you?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes make it very clear that they will viciously destroy anyone who works with me. Should I write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?  They blame me for everything that is bad, but they especially blame me for all defeats that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Geofeedia cuts half its jobs as it looks for new direction – JOHN PLETZ  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, “social media companies” side with those who protest (overwhelmingly Democrats) and against those who do not protest (overwhelmingly Republicans).)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161121/BLOGS11/161129987/geofeedia-cuts-half-its-jobs-as-it-looks-for-new-direction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The cuts happened last month, not long after Geofeedia was named in a broader report by the American Civil Liberties Union for selling software that was being used by law enforcement to monitor protesters. Several social media companies cut off Geofeedia’s direct access to their feeds of otherwise publicly available posts. Such access is crucial to the real-time capabilities that made Geofeedia popular with police departments, news organizations and private companies. The company’s plight illustrates how easily tech startups can run into trouble as new areas of technology evolve faster than their business models.)

 

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats use the National Policy Institute and its president Richard Spencer to paint Trump supporters as being Nazis. Sooner or later, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that Democrats will call you a Nazi.

— Should I stay or should I go? U.S. civil servants gird for Trump – Reuters  (DIERSEN: Federal employees who seek jobs outside the federal government will soon learn of how strongly employers and everyone else despise, if not hate, past and present federal employees.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats who despised, if not hated, Republicans like me.)
http://whbl.com/news/articles/2016/nov/22/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-us-civil-servants-gird-for-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the U.S. presidential election has set off a round of resume-polishing across Washington, as the nation’s federal civil servants prepare for a leader who has promised to freeze hiring and reverse many of the policies they have spent the past eight years putting in place. While anti-Washington rhetoric is a staple of U.S. politics, more than two dozen federal workers interviewed by Reuters said Trump’s divisive presidential campaign pointed to bigger potential problems than those that would normally come with a routine switch from a Democratic to a Republican administration. The New York businessman’s lack of political experience and contentious rhetoric have prompted some to assess whether they should leave government before he takes office on Jan. 20. As the Republican presidential candidate, Trump encouraged his supporters to harass journalists and attack protesters. He vowed to sue news outlets and women who accused him of sexual assault and said he would jail his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump’s conduct has caused some undercover agents to worry that their identities could be made public if they step out of line, said Susan Hennessey, a former attorney at the National Security Agency who has been urging people in government to keep working in Trump’s administration to help resist potential abuses of power. “I can’t and don’t blame anyone who feels they can’t stay,” she said. Other federal workers worry their integrity could be compromised if they work on cases that affect Trump’s vast business interests. Trump’s taxes are being audited by the Internal Revenue Service and the National Labor Relations Board is involved in a labor dispute at his Las Vegas hotel. Changes to tax laws or pollution rules could potentially impact some of his property holdings. “Do I get out or is it all the more important that I stay in to push back on the problematic things?” said one federal worker, who, like others interviewed for this story, asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation at work. UNRAVELING POLICIES A transfer of power always convulses Washington to some degree, particularly when it comes to the departure and arrival of political appointees in more than 4,000 posts. Those top officials oversee 2.7 million civilian workers, from park rangers to tax lawyers, who are expected to enact the president’s agenda and enforce laws passed by Congress regardless of their personal political views. But several workers told Reuters they’d rather leave government service than carry out orders they don’t agree with, pointing specifically at Trump’s vow to undo President Barack Obama’s policies on trade, immigration, health care and environmental protection. National security officials have printed out their resignation letters, ready to hand them in if Trump tries to revive policies such as waterboarding or mass surveillance of Americans they oppose on legal or moral grounds, according to more than 20 military, intelligence and Foreign Service officers, who all spoke on condition of anonymity. Regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency privately say they are looking for new jobs ahead of expected cutbacks at their agency, whose climate-change rules were criticized by Trump on the campaign trail. One manager is urging employees to stay on the job. “Sometimes democracy surprises you. And while the election results will no doubt bring many changes over the coming months, our job remains the same,” Sarah Dunham, director of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Atmospheric Programs, wrote to colleagues two days after the election. Misgivings apparently extend into the nation’s 1.5 million military service members as well. A survey released by the Military Times on Friday found that one in five service members said they will not re-enlist with Trump as Commander-in-chief. DEREGULATION DRIVE During his campaign, Trump promised to rescind two regulations for every new one his administration issues and freeze hiring at agencies that don’t cover public safety, public health or national defense. Republicans in Congress have pushed to erode job protections and scale back benefits. That would be a further blow for federal workers who have weathered furloughs, salary freezes and a three-week government shutdown in recent years. The civilian work force has shrunk by 4 percent since Obama’s first year in office, according to White House figures, and it could shrink further. More than one-third of federal workers will be eligible for retirement next year, according to a 2014 Government Accountability Office report. “This isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to us,” said a scientist who manages a fisheries laboratory in the Pacific Northwest of the expected changes. “It’s kind of continual.” There may be a silver lining for those who are trying to get a job working for Uncle Sam. Trump has promised to increase the number of border-security agents and immigration-enforcement officers as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration. And several managers said they were rushing to fill vacancies on their teams before Trump’s promised hiring ban takes effect. “Everybody seems to be scrambling to fill the positions they have open now,” one said.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Is there a ‘Goldilocks’ rule to federal retirement? – Randy Silvey
http://federalnewsradio.com/commentary/2016/11/is-there-a-goldilocks-rule-to-federal-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands upon thousands of current federal employees are quickly approaching that long anticipated day. The day they can expect to receive, farewell cards, a last in-office party and, of course, the cake with some heartfelt sentiment inscribed on its apex like, “Congratulations on your retirement, It’s about time!” Some can hardly contain their excitement and are ready to bolt straight away. While others feel anxiety about leaving and believe they should stay put. Which group has it right? The best retirement porridge comes from waiting just the right amount of time before digging in. Leave too soon, (to hot) risk suffering severe financial burns during retirement years. A time in life in which we are least prepared to recoup from financial catastrophe. Wait too long, (to cold) risk wasting years working, which could have been spent enjoying a hard earned (just right) retirement. . .Years ago, “Government job’s = safe … reliable … great benefits … decent pay … kinda boring.” A government position was considered a good job, supplemented with outstanding benefits. That doesn’t seem to be the prevailing thought anymore. So what happened? What took the luster off of federal employment? I’ve put together a few candidates for this sweeping change of opinion, feel free to add your own: Wages have become stagnant. Hiring freezes, which lead to the “Do more with less” mandates. Constant attacks (by large media and elected officials) on federal employee integrity, work ethics and benefits. Feds have become political badminton birdies. The perception that federal employees are unappreciated by, the public, the media and Washington.)

— Ex-US Rep. Schock Allegedly Profited off Voters’ DC Visits – AP
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/schock-allegedly-profited-off-voters-washington-visits-43671243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The indictment of a 35-year-old disgraced former Republican congressman jolted residents of his central Illinois district, shaken by prosecutors’ claims that Aaron Schock illegally dipped into campaign and government coffers to subsidize a lavish lifestyle, including his Capitol Hill office done up in the style of “Downton Abbey.” Perhaps more stunning was an allegation found on page 34 of the charging document: Schock’s apparent willingness to pocket thousands of constituents’ dollars by arranging annual Washington tours combined with meet-and-greets. “I know that some people feel very hurt, angered and betrayed,” said Quincy insurance agent Jack Freiburg, who attended such an event in 2014. State political observers say the alleged scheme stands out — even with Illinois’ long-established reputation for corruption, including a former governor’s attempt to sell President Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat. House rules require excess fees from such visits be returned to constituents or donated to charity, according to the indictment. “That’s a new one on me,” said David Melton of Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. “I have never heard of anything quite that audacious.” The three-day extravaganza attended by Freiburg and about 50 others in July 2014 included bus rides to the National Zoo and a reception at the Japanese ambassador’s residence. Freiburg paid a $785 “Fly-in Conference Fee” to Schock’s office — meant to cover meals, transportation and other hosting costs — on top of $2,000 to $3,000 for a plane ticket, hotel room and other expenses. Schock, the once-rising GOP star and prodigious party fundraiser, secretly kept at least $11,000 from that event, the indictment said. Freiburg recalled that many on the trip were well-off but others weren’t, including several recent college graduates. “Some sacrificed financially to go,” the 63-year-old said. Prosecutors say in 2011, Schock set up a Florida bank account under the name of a factious company, “Global Travel International,” and instructed staff to deposit that year’s fly-fee money into it. He allegedly kept at least $4,482 from the 2011 fly-in, which happened in the same month he appeared on the cover of Men’s Health, his shirt unbuttoned to show off his six-pack abs. Landing the magazine cover — with the blurb “Rep. Aaron Schock is willing to give you the shirt off his back” — drew mockery on late-night TV but boosted Schock’s profile nationally.)

http://www.wsj.com/articles/breaking-down-bottleneckers-1479680470
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner last month established the Illinois Competitiveness Council, which will scrutinize occupational-licensing requirements and other regulations constraining economic growth. In targeting occupational licensing, Mr. Rauner has joined the Obama White House, several other governors, and commissions in states including Michigan, Virginia, Indiana and even regulation-happy California. But despite bipartisan support, licensing reform is likely to face ferocious opposition from members of licensed occupations. Those working in an industry that requires licensing learn that they can use an occupational license to choke out the competition. They can even command higher prices without delivering improved products or services. In our forthcoming book, we describe those who use government regulations to perpetuate their own advantages in a market as “bottleneckers.”)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-group-home-investigations-cila-met-20161117-htmlstory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The house had no address; the dead man had no name. Illinois officials blacked out those details from their investigative report. Nobody else was supposed to learn the man’s identity or the location of the state-funded facility where his body was found. The investigation was closed as it began, with no public disclosure, and the report was filed away, one of thousands that portray a hidden world of misery and harm. No one would know that Thomas Powers died at 3300 Essington Road in unincorporated Joliet, in a group home managed for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Or that his caregivers forced a 50-year-old man with the intellect of a small child to sleep on a soiled mattress on the floor in a room used for storage. Or that the front door bore a building inspection sticker that warned, “Not approved for occupancy.” Not even Powers’ grieving family knew the state had looked into his death and found evidence of neglect. As Illinois steers thousands of low-income adults with disabilities into private group homes, a Tribune investigation found Powers was but one of many casualties in a botched strategy to save money and give some of the state’s poorest and most vulnerable residents a better life. In the first comprehensive accounting of mistreatment inside Illinois’ taxpayer-funded group homes and their day programs, the Tribune uncovered a system where caregivers often failed to provide basic care while regulators cloaked harm and death with secrecy and silence.)

— Park Ridge Disappointed As Donald Trumps Hillary – ANNE LUNDE
http://www.journal-topics.com/news/article_2a2261b6-ac39-11e6-9d68-9bbbdfecaead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t get quite enough electoral votes to win the White House on Nov. 8, but it wasn’t due to any failure from her home town of Park Ridge, which gave her a 14% lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump. There was initial hope at a local gathering organized by Hillary supporters of all persuasions, held at the Centennial Activity Center, especially when the ABC national anchor team announced moments after the Illinois polls closed at 7 p.m. (Central time) that she and running mate Timothy Kaine had won Illinois. The key was not getting the popular vote, which Clinton appeared to be winning nationally with 47.61% over Trump’s 47.28% based on election night unofficial reports. The winner had to have a majority of electoral college votes, which are determined by different formulas by state. Trump received 290 electoral votes, well ahead of Clinton’s 232, based on returns announced on election night. Her blue-colored states on the national map clustered out east, and on parts of the west coast. Trump’s campaign captured many of the states which were initially too close to call, leaving a sea of Republican “red” on the map by the end of the evening. Neither Libertarian Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld or the Green Party’s Jill Stein with her running mate Alumu Baraka earned electoral votes. In Park Ridge, only three precincts gave Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, a majority of the popular vote: In Maine 43, Trump had 266 votes to Clinton’s 237, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 67, Trump received 458 to Clinton’s 407, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 88, Trump had 230 to Clinton’s 180, Johnson’s 31 and Stein’s 5. Clinton carried the rest of Park Ridge’s Maine precincts, Leyden 23, and Norwood Park Township’s precincts 3, 11 and 14. Local precinct totals in Park Ridge put Clinton ahead overall, earning 11,123 (54.30%), followed by Trump with 8,255 (40.30%), Johnson’s 842 (4.10%) and Stein’s 249 (1.21%).)

CAPITOL FAX
— BEYOND TRAGIC: Pot revenues jump in Colorado
http://capitolfax.com/2016/11/17/pot-revenues-jump-in-colorado/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I went to Denver last weekend on a spur of the moment break just to get the heck outta here for a bit. The flight was cheap, the hotel wasn’t bad and the steaks were awesome. Denver is not a very walkable city, but I liked it. And unless you went to a couple of different “hipster” strips, the pot shops were practically invisible. Yeah, I smelled it walking down the street a couple of times, but I’ve smelled pot in Bucktown, too. So, really, if you weren’t looking for it you didn’t notice it. One reason for that is people aren’t legally allowed to consume the product in public places. You have to smoke it in your home. So, if you don’t live in Denver or live in a building that forbids smoking, you have to smoke it on the sly. My hotel, for instance, imposed $500 fines and immediate evictions if caught smoking weed in your room or even on your room’s balcony. Of course, regulating the public consumption of “edibles” is a lot tougher. But Denver’s voters just approved a public consumption ordinance by a 53-47 margin. So things are about to change…  Even with the restrictions, pot tourism is already a big thing out there. Every waiter I had assumed that’s why I was in town (maybe it’s the beard). But public consumption will surely attract more people, as long as they work to keep everything reasonable.  A legalized, regulated and taxed production, distribution and consumption chain is the ideal way of doing things. If you buy weed in Denver you’re not supporting criminals. Thumbs up!)

http://abc7chicago.com/news/trump-supporter-beaten-on-west-side-explains-why-he-didnt-fight-back/1607016/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Donald Trump supporter who was beaten by a mob of teenagers in a Chicago intersection said he didn’t fight back for a reason. Victim David Wilcox retreated and curled up into a ball, but not because he was afraid of being hurt. He told the I-Team that he was terrified of fighting back and going to prison where he has spent many years of his adult life. The video of the beating was seen by millions around the world, but this is the first time we learn the back story. After the incident, Wilcox told the public: “I’m not a violent person. I haven’t been in a long time.” On Monday, he explained to the I-Team what he meant. Wilcox said he hasn’t been violent since what happened in Chicago’s Sauganash neighborhood in August 1986, the last time Wilcox was attacked on a public street. He was 20 years old at the time and outside a house party on Kenneth Avenue, Wilcox said he and his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend were attacked by several men he’d been feuding with. “He ran up on me with a baseball bat and beat up on me” Wilcox told the I-Team on Monday. “I stabbed the guy and he died…They were aggressors. They started the fight.” Wilcox was convicted of murder and sent to Stateville prison after he was sentenced to 20 years. He served nearly seven-and-a-half years after an appeal dropped the charge to manslaughter. “I’d rather get stabbed and die than go back to prison,” Wilcox said Monday. For Wilcox, it wasn’t just one experience in prison that has him fearful of being locked up again. According to Illinois Department of Corrections officials, he’s been in state prison nine times in the past 30 years. His was arrested for retail theft and, in 2013, faced a marijuana charge in Cook County. When last week’s traffic altercation grew into a Trump-bashing incident, Wilcox defended himself by retreating and later explained the incident just as he explained the 1986 killing he was involved in. “She was the first one who threw a punch,” Wilcox said. As the punches landed, Wilcox was dazed because he had prayed to god to never put him in a violent situation again. And if those who beat him last week are ever arrested, his hope for their punishment comes from experience: “I’m gonna be at every court date and I’m gonna make sure I can do everything I can to where they get locked up,” Wilcox said. He would like to see them locked up in the kind of place where Wilcox says he was — in Stateville, where in the 1980s he says white inmates were unwelcome guests, adding that he has PTSD from his days there. None of this changes the fact that Wilcox was the victim of an angry crowd. But it does explain why he didn’t fight back.)

— Loyola University’s history course on slavery has a new section on Donald Trump – MATT LAMB  (DIERSEN: Because I share many demographics with Trump, will Loyola revoke the MBA that I earned there in 1976?)
http://catholiccitizens.org/news/68764/universitys-history-course-slavery-new-section-donald-trump/
(CCI Editor Mary Anne Hackett’s note: I called on Cardinal-Elect Cupich to put a stop to this overt racism from a professor of a Catholic University in Chicago.  Filling the minds of young college students with such lies about our history,  destroys their love of America and patriotism which makes them unfit to live in a civil society and endangers the lives of people who may disagree with them.  This is a perfect opportunity to put social justice to work!)

http://www.aim.org/on-target-blog/liberal-media-unsure-on-how-to-report-on-trumps-pledge-of-not-taking-presidential-salary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The liberal media does not know what to say about Donald Trump’s plan to fulfill his campaign pledge to not take a presidential salary of about $400,000, which would make him the third president to do so, in the footsteps of Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy. Huffington Post could only point out that Trump will be fulfilling a campaign pledge. USA Today insinuated that Trump’s campaign pledge derived from the Republicans’ ire towards Obama and Obama’s golfing trips.  CBS News could only say the following: “From the very beginning, Trump has promised that he’d set businesses concerns aside if he was elected. In fact, he told “Face The Nation” moderator John Dickerson last October that he’s been “phasing out” his role throughout his campaign.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— How to Reform the Civil Service – Bruce Walker  (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who are overjoyed that the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old?)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/11/how_to_reform_the_civil_service.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas Lifson has correctly observed that reforming the Civil Service System ought to be a high priority for President-Elect Trump and the new Republican Congress. We need to understand why the Civil Service System first created as a reform in how the federal government operated. “To the victors go the spoils” was the way Andrew Jackson put it almost 200 years ago. Jackson expressed the view that the president has the right – legal and moral – to throw out government employees and replace them with cronies. The size of the federal government was proportionately much smaller then than today, and those political allies rewarded with jobs to deliver the mail or to collect tariffs seemed innocuous enough, at least until President Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled federal office seeker in 1881.  The Pendleton Act of 1883 created a system in which those who sought federal jobs, except for a layer of high-level executives, had to pass an objective hiring system. The second part of Civil Service System reforms was to create protections that made it difficult – really, almost impossible – for any Civil Service System employee ever to lose his job.  This is the heart of the problem.  Presidents can fill the upper echelon of federal agencies with whomever they want (except for the few who require Senate confirmation), and presidents can fire these people easily enough as well.  But no one – not even these high-level political appointees – can fire anyone. Ironically, the problems with the spoils system had nothing to do with firing federal employees, but only with hiring federal employees.  The right reform is simple enough: allow the president to fire any federal employee in the Executive Branch at will, but keep the system in place only for hiring through the Civil Service System. A president would then have the power to fire lazy, dishonest, rude, or unnecessary federal employees, but he could have no power to fill those positions he caused by firing bad federal employees with his supporters or partisans.  So if a federal employee took the Fifth Amendment in an investigation of federal malfeasance, something that Thomas Lifson correctly noted was intolerable, the next day, that employee could be told, “You can either refuse to answer questions or keep your federal job, but not both.” If President Trump brought in business experts to analyze federal operations and detect waste and inefficiency, then President Trump could do what he did so often in his reality television show and fire those who are unnecessary. Anyone familiar with the internal operations of government knows that 30% is a conservative figure for the number of federal employees who do nothing.  Allowing a tough, business-oriented president like Trump to dramatically reduce the size of the federal government would also reduce the cost of government – and all this could be done expeditiously. Federal employees would instantly become not only more efficient, but more polite and responsive to the public (i.e., the folks who pay their salaries).  More than that, coworkers in offices would strongly encourage politeness and civility, because the more complaints a particular office caused, the more likely that office would be to get a bad reputation, and people in that office would be fired. What about the danger of a president forcing people to support him or lose their jobs?  Civil servants ought to be completely apolitical anyway and ought not to contribute to any political campaign or to work for any candidate.  If that was the case in practice, then the president could not know who did not support him and, because all hiring was objective and removed from the president’s power, he could not hire any friends. If the president could not reward anyone by firing a federal employee but could only punish the federal employee by firing him, he would have every incentive to be fair in firing federal employees.  Politicians know that punishing voters loses votes not only because that voter, who may have supported the president, would be unhappy, but because every fired employee has family and friends and neighbors and congregants at his church, and firing an employee causes ill will among all those close to the fired employee. This is a reform is easy to understand and would make sense to the American voter.  Best of all, it would work.  Civility, efficiency, and integrity in the administration of the federal government would improve almost at once.)

Priebus led the famous “autopsy” of the GOP after its loss in the 2012 election, which recommended shortening the primary season and endorsing immigration reform as a way of reaching out to Latino voters. Priebus made an unsuccessful run for the Wisconsin state senate and in 2007 became chairman of the state GOP. In 2010, he helped elect Republican Scott Walker as governor and a GOP majority in the state Legislature, and it was clear his star was on the rise.)

DAILY HERALD
— Bolingbrook mayor Roger Claar hosted Trump, will go to inauguration – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161114/news/161119481/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar got a lot of blowback from local residents when he announced he’d be hosting Donald Trump in town for a September fundraiser. Now he’s making plans to attend the Republican business tycoon’s presidential inauguration. Claar says he jumped on the Trump bandwagon early because he was “tired of Republican leadership in Washington. Democrats weren’t getting anything done, either.” While he knew Illinois — which Tuesday was a blue island among a sea of red states — would go Democrat Hillary Clinton’s way, Claar says money talks, and hosting fundraisers was a way to get some attention. “He wasn’t coming here to build an organization,” Claar says of Trump. “There weren’t a lot of people who stepped up for Trump in Illinois or in the Illinois Republican Party. I was embarrassed about that.” Claar said in recent months he’s had two one-on-one conversations with Trump, including one, in June, where Trump asked for an opinion on who he should select as vice president. “I don’t think he picked him because I suggested it, but I said (Indiana governor) Mike Pence would be outstanding.” As far as keeping in contact? “It’s kind of a one-way street, and that’s his way, not mine,” Claar says. “But if he were to come back to Illinois, I’d want to be part of that, sure.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps get Trump to admit that some of his supporters harass minorities.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that all of Trump’s supporters either harass minorities or want to harass minorities, that is, that they are racists.  Have you ever been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities?  All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, I was supervised by, I worked with, and/or I supervised minorities. Very few of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities.

DAILY HERALD
— The GOP plan to regain the suburbs – Kerry Lester (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, RINOs, LGBTQ activists, and everyone else who wants to destroy the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) make it clear that they want Rauner to dump Tim Schneider as IRP chairman and replace him with the anti-traditional family and anti-Trump Pat Brady.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161113/news/161119604/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With Chicago reliably liberal and conservatism spreading downstate, the suburbs are a fertile and crucial battleground for political parties in Illinois. “If the Republican party is not the party of the suburbs, we will never be the majority party in the state again. We have got to reestablish our leadership in the suburbs,” said Dan Proft, a conservative radio host and former gubernatorial candidate whose Liberty Principles PAC helped finance a number of suburban campaigns. That did not play out on Tuesday, when the suburbs with the exception of McHenry County pulled heavily for Hillary Clinton and the GOP gained just one suburban seat from the Democrats — not surprisingly, the McHenry County spot vacated by retiring Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo, who often voted with Republicans on key issues. But it wasn’t always that way. In the 1990s DuPage County was the GOP epicenter as the home of state Senate President James “Pate” Philip and House Speaker Lee Daniels. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider of Bartlett says with population shifting from Chicago out to the suburbs, the GOP’s mission must be to “identify those folks who’ve traditionally voted Democratic and explain why we’d like them to be Republican.” The GOP’s focus needs to be “getting back to basics” and getting people to sign on to the message “Democrats created a lot of the mess that we are in,” said former Illinois GOP Chair Pat Brady of St. Charles, a political strategist.
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has jumped in by using his personal wealth to bankroll campaigns against the Democrats and the deep coffers controlled by Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan. Rauner’s success in the suburbs was not as great as downstate, where Republicans gained three more House seats and two in the Senate. But Democrats maintain a strong majority in the legislature. Rauner’s now said to be focusing on a gubernatorial election in 2018 and redistricting — which is controlled by the majority party — after the 2020 census. “The addition of Rauner and his campaign team are night and day, resource wise and putting together firepower and the ability to know how to win,” Brady said.)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BICOLOR PICTURE AND GRAPHICS: Why the suburbs went blue – Marni Pyke and Kerry Lester (DIERSEN: If this was not a front page top of fold Democrat Party editorial unethically made to look like a news article, it would report in detail what DuPage County Republican Party Chairman Brian Krajewski and Demetra DeMonte say about the issue.  DeMonte is the Illinois Republican Party National Committeewoman and the top woman for the Trump campaign in Illinois. Far too many suburban Republican party leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that they failed/refused to promote Trump because of Trump’s negatives.  But the real reason was that Trump supports many planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161113/news/161119605/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Standing alone surrounded by a sea of red states, is Illinois suffering from postelection blues? Republican President-elect Donald Trump won Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky Tuesday night while Illinois delivered for Democrat Hillary Clinton. It’s no surprise Chicago and Cook County backed Clinton, who grew up here, but so did all of the suburban counties with the exception of McHenry County. Why did most collar counties, which went for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2014, buck the Trump wave? Party insiders give several reasons. The Democratic Party of DuPage got a sudden influx of young foot soldiers, like organizer Alex Franklin, who campaigned for charismatic Democrat Bernie Sanders until the Vermont senator conceded to Clinton in July, then went to work for Clinton. Clinton won DuPage County by 14 percentage points on Tuesday. “If you look at the holes right now, even where Democrats lost in DuPage there were absurdly high numbers, which are a direct result of the Sanders people and what we were doing out here,” said Franklin, of Glen Ellyn. He sees the merger of Clinton and Sanders supporters as the beginning of a beautiful friendship that will spill over into spring municipal elections. “We’re not going to walk away,” Franklin said. It wasn’t always that way. The growing diversity of the suburbs and the rise of Barack Obama, Illinois’ former U.S. senator, helped flip the suburban electorate from red to blue in presidential years 2008 and 2012. For decades before that, the suburbs were relentlessly Republican. This year, support for local candidates by minorities down ballot helped Clinton at the top of the ticket, experts said. In Lake County, Grayslake incumbents state Sen. Melinda Bush and state Rep. Sam Yingling had a strategy to connect with Hispanic voters, Democratic former state Sen. Bill Morris of Grayslake said. Using old yearbooks, the Democrats identified likely Hispanic graduates in Avon Township and linked up with them and their families. “What put them over the top in a traditionally Republican district was the help of Hispanic voters,” Morris said. Meanwhile, Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg generated a lot of excitement among Indian-Americans as he ran for the 8th Congressional District, DuPage County Democratic Party Chairman Bob Peickert said. Asian voters “came out heavily for Raja and that translated into a lot of support for Hillary,” Peickert said. Republican Joseph Gomez, a tollway board member, said Trump’s controversial remarks about Mexicans likely cost him Hispanic GOP voters. Gomez didn’t back Trump and said, “I don’t see how (the average Hispanic) could support him.” Clinton picked up nearly 1.4 million of her 3 million Illinois votes in the suburbs, with Chicago adding 893,000 more. That urban bloc more than offset Trump winning 91 of Illinois’ 102 counties and gave Clinton Illinois’ 20 electoral votes. Clinton also might have benefitted from the cold shoulder Republican standard-bearers — such as Rauner and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk — gave Trump, with both refusing to attend his nominating convention in Cleveland. Shunning the New York billionaire might have cost Illinois Republicans down ballot, said Mark Fratella, a Trump delegate and Addison Township GOP organizer. Independent Trump supporters walked into the polling booth and said, “if the governor isn’t embracing our candidate, we’ll vote for Mr. Trump but that’s going to be it. We’re not going to help the party out,” he theorized. Incumbents including Kirk and 10th District U.S. Rep. Bob Dold lost to Democrats, and just one suburban legislative seat — the 63rd House in McHenry County, won by Steven Reick — flipped from Democrat to the GOP. McHenry was the sole collar county that went red for Trump, showing 71,117 votes for him compared to 59,827 for Clinton. “As a Republican, I feel like the state of Illinois is surrounded by the USA,” said McHenry County Board member Andrew Gasser, referring to the electoral college map. “I thought we would have done better for Mr. Trump, but we did what we could. Like Tip O’Neill used to say, ‘all politics are local.'” What put McHenry County in the GOP column was old-fashioned shoe leather, the Algonquin Township Republican Party chairman said. “The Algonquin Township Republican Party had close to 100 volunteers. We nailed everything, we walked everything, we did all we could and it showed,” Gasser said. Still, Illinois voters ended up with two Democratic U.S. senators and one additional Democratic congressman, Brad Schneider of Deerfield. Will its blue leanings cost the state? Morris thinks it won’t hurt federal funding, noting Trump hails from New York City and is not anti-urban. “He and his family are much more urban than the Clintons … he can’t ignore the cities in America and hope to have the country be great again.” Gomez pointed out Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel hasn’t endeared himself to Trump, standing up in front of Trump Tower to denounce the billionaire and backing the removal of the city’s Trump Plaza sign. But he said he believes fellow Republicans Rauner and Trump need each other and will likely make amends. “It makes sense that they would be strong allies.” Trump is not as heavy-handed as people think, Fratella said. “The region should not worry about any punitive action from the White House in terms of Illinois.”)

— GOP sees tide turn across state  (FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump won 91 of Illinois’ 102 counties, compared with Romney’s 79 in 2012, and Trump also outperformed Romney in almost all those places — in some by double digits.)
http://myjournalcourier.com/news/102437/gop-sees-tide-turn-across-state
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state where both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton used to live is still reliably Democratic when it comes to picking a president. But drill a little deeper and it’s clear the political map changed, with more counties flipping from Democrat to Republican just as they did in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, helping Donald Trump become president. While Trump won a smaller percentage of the state’s overall vote than Mitt Romney did in 2012 due to dismal support in Chicago and its suburbs, he won a dozen more counties than Romney. Those included large portions of northwest Illinois and one southern county that hadn’t backed the GOP presidential candidate since Richard Nixon’s landslide 1972 victory over George McGovern. On Trump’s coattails, Gov. Bruce Rauner and the GOP eroded a Democratic supermajority in the Illinois House. But with Clinton atop the ticket, fellow Democratic women won statewide offices for U.S. Senate and comptroller. Here’s a look at Tuesday’s results: TRUMP COUNTRY  Illinois has long been divided, with Chicago, its suburbs and some downstate cities voting Democratic and the rest of the state solidly Republican. That split widened this election year. Trump won 91 of Illinois’ 102 counties, compared with Romney’s 79 in 2012, and Trump also outperformed Romney in almost all those places — in some by double digits. Adrienne Logue is a substitute teacher who lives in rural Vermilion County, east of Champaign. Trump won more than 62 percent of the vote there, thanks to people like her. The married mother of three called choosing Trump over Clinton a “no-brainer.” “He was against abortion, he is for my gun rights and the thought of Hillary Clinton appointing a Supreme Court justice that would tip the courts in favor of, it would be an anti-gun majority, it made my decision easy,” Logue said. She liked that Trump stood up to the media and said he’d get rid of the Affordable Care Act. And she’s looking to him to bring back manufacturing jobs, like she believes President Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. “The ’80s were a great time to be alive,” Logue said. “That’s where the American dream for all people was attainable. I know it could be done again under Trump.”  CLINTON TERRITORY  Clinton dominated in Chicago and the collar counties, including DuPage — a place Obama barely won in 2012 but Rauner took easily in his 2014 defeat of then-Gov. Pat Quinn. Statewide, she received more than 55 percent of the vote. Four in five women chose Clinton over Trump, according to exit polling conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. Susan Gilbert, a retired teacher from Naperville, said Trump’s comments about women were a factor in her supporting Clinton. The wealthy businessman was caught on a video boasting to a TV show host about groping women and was known to rank women based on their looks. “It feels like we’re going backward,” Gilbert said after Trump’s win, adding that she cried when she watched his victory speech. “We’re going to lose our rights.” BLUE TO RED  The counties that flipped from Democrat to Republican include much of the northwestern part of the state and a few counties in southern Illinois, an area that has been affected by closings and layoffs at coal mines and steel plants. Clinton was haunted on the campaign by remarks she made at a town hall that she was going to put “a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” a comment that came in the context of helping blue-collar workers adjust to new jobs and her plan to provide billions of dollars for training. But the damage stuck. That, along with decreased turnout, may have been enough to flip the tiny Democratic stronghold of Alexander County, its county seat Cairo. Bordering Missouri and Kentucky, the county has voted for just one GOP presidential nominee — Nixon — since 1964. On Tuesday, voters chose Trump, 53 percent to Clinton’s 45 percent.)

— Who’s paying for the violence?  (DIERSEN: Are the protestors being paid at least $15 an hour?)
http://www.gopusa.com/whos-paying-for-the-violence/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A left-wing charity organization with unknown sources of money is providing the funding for protests around the country — some of which have turned into violent riots — that have threatened a divided nation’s ability to unify after a contentious presidential election. The Progress Unity Fund is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization — the same classification as the Red Cross. The group’s mission is to “provide a progressive alternative to mainstream charities,” according to its IRS filings. The fund provides the financial backing for Act Now To Stop War & End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, a left-wing activist group that began organizing “emergency protests” immediately after Trump’s election. Cities where ANSWER held protests included: Chicago, New York, DC and San Francisco, among others.)

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/12/books/review-megyn-kelly-tells-tales-out-of-fox-news-in-her-memoir-settle-for-more.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even had there been no news in Megyn Kelly’s new memoir, “Settle for More,” the book would have drawn a considerable audience. Ms. Kelly, the 45-year-old anchor on Fox News, has emerged as this presidential election’s unlikely feminist heroine and Hildy Johnson, the intrepid gal reporter who made herself indispensable to the brass and resisted the herd mentality of the men around her. She was the hen in the Fox house, taking it upon herself to ask at nearly every turn: Shouldn’t we be concerned that the Republican nominee for president is profoundly disrespectful of women in his public discourse? And accused of being a sexual predator at that?  That man, Donald J. Trump, is now America’s president-elect. After reading Ms. Kelly’s book, scheduled to be published on Tuesday but obtained early by The New York Times, I must say I feel nervous for her. According to her book, Mr. Trump did not take kindly to Ms. Kelly’s questions, and he appeared to retaliate in creepy, personal ways. Many journalists are already concerned that he has little regard for their professional responsibilities or First Amendment rights. “Settle for More” won’t allay their fears.)

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/12/business/clarence-ditlow-died.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An engineer and lawyer, Mr. Ditlow collaborated with Mr. Nader on “The Lemon Book” (1980), on “The Lemon Book: Auto Rights” (1990) and on many safety articles. He also wrote about the tendency of some vehicles to roll over, to jump from Park into Reverse gear and to power off with a loss of all controls and airbags while being driven. . .In addition to millions of other recalls in the ’80s and ’90s, Mr. Ditlow and his organization achieved lemon laws in all 50 states to protect consumers. Over the last 25 years, he also served on the boards of Consumers Union, the environmental group Friends of the Earth and the Canadian highway and the auto safety organization Automobile Protection Association.)

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article114137548.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Learn from career federal employees: Go beyond the rhetoric and recognize that the federal workforce “has many great and committed people,” as a Trump campaign statement said, is Stier’s advice. Trump should view federal employees, “the real engine of the government,” as “your most important asset,” he added by phone. But Trump would subject agencies to a federal hiring freeze, his first 100-day “Contract With the American Voter” promises. “Job No. 1 is to bring in a qualified and effective team quickly,” Stier said. The transition “begins with people.”)

FORD AUTHORITY
— This 97-Year-Old Swede Drives A Brand-New Ford Mustang GT – AARON BIRCH  (DIERSEN: How old are you? What is your position on age discrimination?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being old. This spring, when I was only 67 years old, I bought a new 2016 Ford Mustang.  I bought a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max when I was 63.  I bought a new 2005 Corvette when I was 56.)
http://fordauthority.com/2016/11/this-97-year-old-swede-drives-a-brand-new-ford-mustang-gt-video/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is an unwritten rule that those of a certain age retire, hire a geriatric nurse or move into an assisted living facility, and just generally give up on ever having much fun ever again. Lennart Ribring, a 97-year-old man living in Sweden, has opted not to follow protocol, instead buying himself a brand-new Ford Mustang GT with a manual transmission and cramming as much driving fun as he can manage into whatever time he has left. According to Road & Track, Mr. Ribring is the oldest Ford Mustang owner alive, and regardless of whether or not that’s true, he’s inarguably just about the coolest. Surprisingly, this is not Lennart Ribring’s first Ford Mustang; he bought a first-generation example way back in the 1960s, and he’s “hardly thought about another car since then.” The above video from Ford Sweden was put together to tell Ribring’s unique story to the world, and in the process, it demonstrates that a passion for driving knows no bounds – not age, nationality, gender, religion, or race. Way to do Ford fans everywhere proud, Mr. Ribring.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-gidwitz-trump-team-1113-chicago-inc-20161111-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nobody expected that Illinois politicos would be at the front of the line for jobs in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. But when even his top fundraiser in the state, businessman Ron Gidwitz, says it, you know the lines of communication between Chicago and the White House are likely to be slim. “We’ve got a lot of very qualified people, and I think it’s a little early to say,” said Gidwitz, 71. “But we were not on the top-producing team.” It was no surprise that the state went heavily for Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s election. Given that and the fact he was disavowed by U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and steadfastly ignored by Gov. Bruce Rauner, not a single Illinoisan is on Trump’s transition team, which will be led by vice-president elect Mike Pence. Gidwitz said he’s yet to speak with Trump since the election and that he doesn’t expect Trump to visit Chicago before the inauguration. “Why would he?,” he asked, adding that the City Council has done itself no favors by stripping Trump of his honorary plaza when “the city has serious budget and crime problems it should be dealing with.” Illinois Republican Party chairman and Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider agreed that the state’s vote on Tuesday likely didn’t help Illinois Republicans’ cause but said he expected that “President-elect Trump will pick the best people for the job, regardless of where they come from.” Like Gidwitz, he declined to name any potential Illinois candidates for cabinet posts in Trump’s administration, though he said the state had a “deep bench” of talent.)
