CHICAGO TRIBUNE

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/news/ct-abn-aurora-security-st-0928-20170928-story.html
— Dissident artist Ai Weiwei and U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren bond over refugee rights – Kim Janssen (DIERSEN: Of course, because of this, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would hint/imply/argue/shout at Hultgren that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. They would stress to Hultgren that unlike them, I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. Anti-Trumps shout at refugees that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-hultgren-weiwei-0927-chicago-inc-20170927-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hultgren’s outspoken support of refugee rights has placed him in potential conflict with President Donald Trump, whose bans on refugees from a series of majority Muslim countries have been challenged in court. But the congressman, who votes in line with Trump’s favored position more than 90 percent of the time, was careful not to directly criticize White House policy this week. “Immigration is a foundational part of who we are … to be a place of refuge,” he said. “I understand that there are bad actors and terrorists out there … but I don’t want to shut off opportunity for people who really need refuge. I don’t think those are mutually exclusive.”)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Immigrant rights event canceled after threats to Arlington Heights library.”
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170928/lester-immigrant-rights-event-canceled-after-threats-to-arlington-heights-library
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Arlington Heights Memorial Library canceled an immigrants rights workshop this week out of “concerns for safety” after the library’s voice mail and board president Deb Smart’s home phone were flooded with calls from people objecting to the meeting. “It was an unsettling process,” Smart says. “People called the switchboard, saying they’d call (federal immigration officials) and have a raid done.” She says she was called names and threatened, and ultimately involved local police. The free workshop was sponsored by the Community Activism Law Alliance and was advertised as informing immigrants on what to do and say when in contact with immigration and police officers and how to prepare “emergency kits” if they’re at risk for detention. Smart said a similar workshop might be held in the future at a different location. The library’s official statement, posted on its website, says “the decision to cancel the workshop was based on concerns for the safety and welfare of workshop attendees, library staff and library users.”)
— Undergarments for packing heat – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170928/lester-immigrant-rights-event-canceled-after-threats-to-arlington-heights-library
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marilyn Smolenski of Park Ridge, who is unopposed in the Republican primary in the 55th Illinois House District, owns Nickel and Lace, a business specializing in “concealed carry holster undergarments,” which are advertised as both discreet and comfortable. She founded the business after finding holsters “were all really geared toward men,” she told Fox Business Network last year. Democratic state Rep. Marty Moylan of Des Plaines is seeking re-election in the 55th District next November.)
— Congrats to Connelly – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170928/lester-immigrant-rights-event-canceled-after-threats-to-arlington-heights-library
(FROM THE ARTICLE: St. Joseph High School in Westchester is honoring Naperville Republican state Sen. Michael Connelly with its St. Joseph the Worker Award. School officials say the award is given to those who’ve succeeded in business, the arts, science or community service and is traced back to the motto of the school, Vincit Qui Laborat, translated as “he conquers, who labors.” Connelly, a 1982 graduate, was recently named assistant Republican leader.)
— New flak in Roskam camp – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170928/lester-immigrant-rights-event-canceled-after-threats-to-arlington-heights-library
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam of Wheaton has a new communications director. Veronica Vera, a Chicago native, worked at the Illinois Department of Aging and the Illinois Department of Human before beginning this new role. Unlike her predecessors in the office, most recently David Pasch, Vera will be based in Illinois, not Washington, D.C.)

— Tax reform plan targets blue states  Just another fringe benefit of GOP tax overhaul – Michael Graham
http://www.bostonherald.com/opinion/op_ed/2017/09/graham_tax_reform_plan_targets_blue_states
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In other words, getting rid of this targeted tax break for state and local taxes would create more jobs and wealth for Americans across the board. But it’s even better than that. The states with the highest tax burden are places like New York, Connecticut, Illinois, California, and Rhode Island. Spot a trend? They are all deep, deep blue. The top 10 self-taxing states contributed a total of one Electoral College vote to Donald Trump (Thanks, Maine!).)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-wwi-centennial-met-20170927-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the Americans who fought in WWI returned from Europe, they often remembered the fallen at the local level, in town squares and memorials spread all across the country. Today, many of those memorials need restoration, officials said. State Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the obelisk in her community needed substantial work to fix the masonry and brass. World War I is an important part of the community there, Ives said. At the time of the conflict, Wheaton had roughly 4,000 residents and about 500 men left to serve in the war. “We’ve lost that generation already,” Ives said.)

I should write a book about past and present GOP leaders in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who reject most if not virtually all of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform.  These Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs have done much to destroy the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Illinois Republican Party.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-proposed-dupage-budget-st-0927-20170926-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County employee salaries would be cut by up to 4 percent to compensate for a $2.7 million loss in state revenue under a budget proposed Tuesday by board Chairman Dan Cronin. The reductions are necessary to ensure that property taxes don’t increase under the 2017-18 spending plan, Cronin told county board members. “This has been an exceedingly difficult year,” he said. “I don’t know if people expect this from year to year, but we have a unique brand of government here. We do more with less.” Among the revenue cuts from the state are 10 percent less from the Local Government Distributive Fund, 2 percent less from the administrative fee on Regional Transportation Authority sales tax and a reduction in the Personal Property Replacement tax. Cronin and his finance team are asking all county departments to make across-the-board salary reductions in lieu of laying off staff.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170926/news/309269931/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The teen’s online posts mocking and criticizing the city-state’s government have twice landed him in a Singapore jail. He left his homeland in December with the intention of seeking U.S. asylum, but immigration agents took him into custody at O’Hare International Airport. He has remained behind bars during the proceedings. Attorney Sandra Grossman anticipated that Yee, in custody at a county jail outside Chicago, could be released at “any time.” “We welcome the board’s decision and we welcome it because it’s a decision that’s grounded in law and in fact,” she said. “He was persecuted because of political beliefs.”)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— The Illinois GOP Congressional Caucus Responds to HB 40 – Laurie Higgins
https://illinoisfamily.org/life/illinois-gop-congressional-caucus-responds-hb-40/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Great news from the congressional front!  In light of the possibility that Governor Bruce Rauner may renege on his commitment to veto HB 40—the bill that would require taxpayer-funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee insurance plans through the entire 9 months of pregnancies—and the moral gravity of such an obscene (and costly) requirement, Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith sent a letter to Illinois’ Republican congressmen requesting their help in persuading Governor Rauner to veto HB 40. Earlier today, U.S. Congressmen Peter Roskam, John Shimkus, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Rodney Davis, Mike Bost, and Darin LaHood sent a letter to Governor Rauner urging him to do just that:)

WASHINGTON POST
— Retirement wave – Eric Yoder  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old was a horrific waste. Who/what do you blame for my Democrat superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old?)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/09/26/qa-for-federal-workers-retirement-wave/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Question: Whatever happened to the “retirement wave?” Wasn’t that supposed to create a lot of vacancies for younger federal employees to move up? Answer: Predictions of a wave of federal employee retirements date back many years. This comes from the large population of baby boomer workers — almost all now in their mid-50s or older — becoming old enough to meet the needed combinations of age and years of service. Some of those combinations allow for retirement as early as 55 — and even earlier in law enforcement and certain other occupations. However, except for those jobs, there is no mandatory retirement in the government. Many employees continue working out of desire or need — 15 percent already are eligible to retire, and the average federal retirement age now is about 62, up by more than two years over the past 10 years. Just under 64,000 of the 2.1 million federal workers outside the self-funding U.S. Postal Service retired in the fiscal year ending last September. That was about average for the past 10 years and actually the lowest since 2010. If budgets get tight, agencies may try to cut their staff costs by offering early retirements. But that’s just another form of optional retirement.)

THE HILL
— Rauner: Protesting NFL players are ‘disrespecting the foundations of our country’ – AVERY ANAPOL
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/352237-illinois-governor-protesting-nfl-players-are-disrespecting-the
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner said that NFL players protesting the National Anthem are “disrespecting” the flag, country, and anthem. The governor weighed in on the controversy to Politico after Sunday’s NFL game at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The entirety of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem, except for one player. “To me they are disrespecting the foundations of our country, the veterans who risked their lives for our democracy, and the men and women who fight every day and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberties,” Rauner said through a spokesman. Rauner has a financial stake in the Steelers, according to Politico. The Republican governor said he did not condone the Steelers’ behavior, but that the First Amendment guarantees the right of players to “choose to be disrespectful.” “Our country is great because it guarantees freedom of expression,” Rauner said. President Trump has heavily criticized players for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. At an Alabama Senate campaign rally on Friday night, he called for NFL owners to fire athletes who protest the National Anthem, prompting several instances of players kneeling or staying in locker rooms during the anthem across the nation this weekend. The Chicago Bears stayed on the field during the anthem, linking arms in a display of unity while remaining standing. A team statement from the Bears said that the “divisive political situation” that the protests have brought on have unified the NFL by prompting dialogue between  “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” the statement reads. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner.”)

WEST SUBURBAN PATRIOTS
— WSP statement on elected officials attending our Patriot’s Breakfast  (DIERSEN: Of course, while I served as the TAPROOT Republicans chairman 2005-2012, my critics/opponents wanted to dictate who spoke at TAPROOT meetings and events. My critics/opponents a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid and/or are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://westsuburbanpatriots.ning.com/profiles/blogs/wsp-statement-on-elected
(THE STATEMENT: Elected officials are welcome at our meetings, from every level of government and from every political persuasion. West Suburban Patriot’s members are very engaged in the political process and look forward to opportunities to meet representatives and hear about current legislative issues. Due to the structure and purpose of our meetings, we can’t provide them a platform to address the group for an entire meeting (unless we are holding a candidate forum), but we will certainly announce that they are in attendance, give them a few minutes to address the group, and encourage members to take time to introduce themselves and connect one-on-one. We ask elected officials to be conscious of the fact that we are a non-partisan group and to respect all of our members by not acting in an overtly partisan manner. We realize that getting our nation back on the right track will take the active participation of every citizen we can possibly draw in to our movement. Anyone who subscribes to the three tea party principles (fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government, and free and fair markets) is welcome to join us. So that we know how much time to allocate for candidates, please contact Carol in advance to let us know that you are coming.)

— GOP bill will offer Dreamers citizenship after ‘extreme vetting’ – FRANCO ORDOÑEZ AND BRIAN MURPHY (DIERSEN: From what I see, a) virtually all illegals are minorities, females, and/or younger; b) employers want to give preference to illegals over citizens of America; and c) no one wants illegals to take bad jobs like I did.  I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article175175316.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.” The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service. “Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.” All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.)

The generation of 76.4 million born between 1946 and 1964 who once romped in the back seats of their parents’ station wagons has determined what we drive for over a half-century. With advanced technology and designs catering to this demographic, boomers will influence our rides long past when they hang up their key chains.)

DAILY HERALD
— More than 100 people protest Wheaton landlord over ‘back to Vietnam’ sign – Justin Kmitch  (DIERSEN: Because I refuse to hate Sandberg, Sandberg-haters hate me. Sandberg-haters are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170923/more-than-100-people-protest-wheaton-landlord-over-back-to-vietnam-sign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The normally bustling corner of Front and Main streets in downtown Wheaton was even busier Saturday afternoon as more than 100 sign-waving protesters gathered to protest a local landlord. The group’s members, led by longtime Wheaton resident Jessica Prewitt, were speaking out against local businessman Robert Sandberg and a sign he posted two years ago inside the front door of a former Vietnamese restaurant that says the owners “went back to Vietnam.” The groundswell developed after Prewitt Wednesday posted a picture of the sign on social media. “To me, that sign says, ‘You’re not welcome here, get out,'” Prewitt said Saturday outside Sandberg’s men’s clothing store. “Wheaton is a very tolerant, diverse community. There’s just no room for that here.” Protesters lined the corner in front of Sandberg’s store, at times blocking his front door, holding signs that read “Diversity is Delightful,” “Be Kind,” “Give Hate no Home” and “Wheaton Welcomes All.” Kate McElwee brought her two young daughters for what she called a “teaching moment.” “This is so much bigger than Mr. Sandberg versus the restaurant owners,” she said. “This is about us peacefully using our freedom of speech to speak out against an enemy of diversity in our community.” Some people not associated with the protest said they felt obligated to go buy something from Sandberg because they felt he was being treated unfairly. Others yelled things like “fake news!” and “say no to DACA” as they drove east on Front Street. Inside his store, Sandberg defended his right to keep the sign posted until he receives a handwritten apology from the owners of Luong-Loi, who he says skipped out on their rent and owe him $17,000. The operators of the restaurant, which eventually reopened across the street from its former location, deny on Facebook that they have any unmet obligations to Sandberg. “Look, what these snowflakes are doing out here is petty. I’m no racist,” Sandberg said of the protesters. “I have black friends and I’m actively supporting (former member of Congress from Florida) Allen West, who is black and a great, great man. This is a dispute between me and a former tenant who lied to me and who owes me money. Now these people have people calling my phone and telling me I’m a racist.” Sandberg said he posted the sign because he grew tired of people coming into his store and asking him what happened to the Vietnamese restaurant that had been there for about 30 years. And, he’s willing to take it down, with conditions. “It could be taken down yesterday. All you have to do is have them give me a letter saying that they lied to me. They told me wrong. They didn’t go back to Vietnam,” Sandberg said. “Give me a reason you did what you did or just say, ‘We told you wrong. We made a mistake.'” Luong-Loi serves lunch and dinner in a building formerly owned by Sandberg at 111-113 N. Main St. The city gained ownership of the long-vacant property in 2006 after six years of condemnation proceedings against Sandberg. In late 2014, the city council approved the sale of the building to the restaurateurs for $160,111. The restaurant reopened about a year later after extensive renovations of the building’s facade. Luong-Loi employees present Saturday declined to comment but pointed to a statement released Friday on their Facebook page. “On behalf of the Luong-Loi family, I want to thank Jessica and everyone here for their support and concern on this matter. Thank you to all our customers, the City of Wheaton, and the entire community for your continued support of our family and business,” the statement reads. “As for Mr. Sandberg and the ‘We went back to Vietnam’ sign: We want to thank Mr. Sandberg for allowing Luong-Loi to lease his property for the past 25-plus years. We have no other obligations to Mr. Sandberg.”)

— Today’s American Teens Delay Responsibility Longer Than Ever  Whereas physical health may be on the rise among teens in the iGen generation, their mental health and wellbeing has declined. – Gracy Olmstead  (DIERSEN: What did you accomplish by the time you were 32?  Shortly after I turned 16 in 1964, I got a drivers license, bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir, and got a part-time job washing dishes. I bought my first new car when I was 17. I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21. I bought my fourth new car, a Corvette, when I was 23. I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24. I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in downtown Chicago when I was 25 and a one bedroom condo in that building when I was 27. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31.  I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.  I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. I got married when I was 29 and we bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton when I was 29.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “18-year-olds now look like 15-year-olds used to,” Jean Twenge says. Members of Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2012, are less likely to drink alcohol or have sex in high school. But they are also less likely to pursue independent acts of responsibility, like getting a driver’s license or procuring a job while in high school. Many people in Gen X—and even some among the millennial generation—are rather dumbfounded by these trends. In my home state of Idaho, teens my age could procure a driver’s license at 14, due to the state’s rural, farming nature. There wasn’t a single kid who didn’t look forward to his 14th birthday: it carried with it the prospect of independence, and eventually car ownership.)

BARRON’S
— Ministering to the Middle Class  Joe Jacques started out auditing government agencies, and now helps his clients build up a war chest for retirement. – Steve Garmhausen  (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.)
http://www.barrons.com/articles/ministering-to-the-middle-class-1506139411
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  His career started in what is now the Government Accountability Office. Jacques actually did some exciting work there: Still in his 20s, he assisted in the investigation of then-President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy, who had been accused of improperly taking money from the Libyans. “I’d be in Strom Thurmond’s office with Bob Dole and these power players, joking like normal people,” recalls Jacques, “and they’d turn to me and ask, ‘What information do you have for us?’ ” But Jacques spent most of his time auditing government agencies, when he would have preferred to be doing taxes and working for himself. In 1983, he left Washington to do just that. Along the way, he started taking financial-planning courses and, with the help of an industry mentor, added life insurance and annuities to his bailiwick.)
