— Trump, Republicans plan to target benefits and job security for federal workers – Lisa Rein  (DIERSEN: According to this article, there are about 2.1 million civilian federal employees.  From what I see,  virtually all of them are Democrats.  Political affiliation discrimination is rampant in the federal government.  What if Trump decided to make the federal government “look like America.” What if he said that he is going to fire about 1,050,000 federal employees and replace them with Republicans?  I would be more than happy to help him with that.  On the other hand, many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-federal-workers-20161121-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are drawing up plans to take on the government bureaucracy they have long railed against, by eroding job protections and grinding down benefits that federal workers have received for a generation. Hiring freezes, an end to automatic raises, a green light to fire poor performers, a ban on union business on the government’s dime and less generous pensions – these are the contours of the blueprint emerging under Republican control of Washington in January. These changes were once unthinkable to federal employees, their unions and their supporters in Congress. But Trump’s election as an outsider promising to shake up a system he told voters is awash in “waste, fraud and abuse” has conservatives optimistic that they could do now what Republicans have been unable to do in the 133 years since the civil service was created. “You have the country moving to the right and being much more anti-Washington than it was,” said former House speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., a leading Trump adviser who serves on the president-elect’s transition team. “We’re going to have to get the country to understand how big the problem is, the human costs of it and why it’s absolutely essential to reform,” said Gingrich, who urged Trump to shrink big government and overhaul the “job-for-life” guarantee of federal work. Gingrich predicted that Stephen Bannon, a former Breitbart News chief who helped steer Trump’s campaign and is now one of his most influential advisers, would lead the effort. “It’s a big, big project,” he said. The project aligns with Bannon’s long-stated warnings about the corrupting influence of government and a capital city rampant with “crony capitalism.” Breitbart headlines also provide a possible insight into his views, with federal employees described as overpaid, too numerous and a “privileged class.” “Number of Government Employees Now Surpasses Manufacturing Jobs by 9,977,000,” the website proclaimed in November. There are 2.1 million federal civilian employees. Top Republicans on Capitol Hill say their first priority will be making it easier to fire employees regarded as incompetent or who break the rules. “It’s nearly impossible to fire somebody,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. “When the overwhelming majority do a good job and the one bad apple is there viewing pornography, I want people to be held accountable.” Chaffetz said he plans to push through wholesale changes to the generous retirement benefits that federal workers receive, by shifting to a market-driven, 401(k)-style plan for new employees.)

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/11/the_msm_is_right_there_is_a_racist_party_in_america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The mainstream media (MSM) are right.  There is a political party today that has racism as a core value and is working incessantly to keep blacks down.  It’s the Democratic Party.  Of course, since Democrat politicians never say what they really believe, most Democrat voters aren’t aware they’re supporting racism. Like their predecessors who fought a war to keep slavery legal, who founded the KKK, who passed the Jim Crow laws, who fought for school segregation, and who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, modern Democrat politicians are constantly working to ensure that blacks be poor, ignorant, and totally dependent on the government. Slave-owning Democrats believed that blacks were not really smart enough to run their own lives. Modern Democrat talking heads constantly declare that in a country where Japanese Americans could go from Democrat-mandated prison camps to having one of the highest per household incomes in America, without Democrat help, blacks somehow can’t manage to do anything.  It’s the same paternalistic attitude that earlier Democrats used to justify slavery. Of course, the new slavery is different from the old: instead of picking cotton for hours in the blazing sun, modern blacks only have to vote Democrat, settle for unsafe neighborhoods, and be willing to live with the fact that their children will never get a decent education.)

Many of the newspaper, magazine and online news reporters and TV hosts, like Megyn Kelly (a reported $ 9 million a year) are part of the elite, self-absorbed celebrity class. Walk though the newsroom of the New York Times, the  Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Time, the New Yorker or The Atlantic and you’ll run into scads of graduates from the top three journalism schools (Missouri, Northwestern and Columbia) and Ivy Leaguers. They are not deplorables.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the people meeting with the president-elect this weekend: the man who marshalled more outside money than anyone else to help Donald Trump win the White House. Todd Ricketts, a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs, helped raise at least $66 million for outside groups called Future 45 and the 45 Committee — a nod the incoming 45th president. Ricketts is emblematic of what a topsy-turvy election it has been. Before helping Trump, Ricketts was part of a super PAC that spent more than any other trying to stop him from winning the Republican nomination. Ricketts lives in Chicago and is a small business owner and board member of TD Ameritrade, which his billionaire father founded. Trump’s team is turning its attention to economic positions in the administration, including the Department of Commerce.)

Maloney openly had offered strong support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and in the email, he made negative remarks about Trump, calling his comments on immigrants “demeaning, insulting.” “I want to be clear that this behavior — and these views — have no place at GrubHub,” Maloney said in the email. So the question is: Can someone be hired or fired for supporting a political candidate, or for their general party affiliation and support? Is that discrimination? Michael Theodore, of the Illinois Department of Human Rights, offered an answer. “Political affiliation is not a protected class under the Illinois Human Rights Act,” Theodore told Chicago City Wire. Theodore said classes protected in Illinois under state law include “race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, military status, order of protection status, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, unfavorable military discharge, and physical and mental disability.” Thus, Maloney’s email to GrubHub’s employees is not considered discrimination, and employees can ultimately be hired or fired based on their political affiliation, Theodore said. “The department investigates charges on a case-by-case basis,” Theodore noted, inregard to workplace-discrimination cases. Kent Sezer, attorney for Neal and Leroy LLC, commented on Maloney’s email and told Chicago City Wire that nothing explicitly prevents private employers from discriminating against employees due to their political beliefs. “In general, private-sector employers may discriminate on the basis of political belief. The First Amendment applies only to public employees,” Sezer said. GrubHub falls under the classification of a public business because they have company stocks that can be traded by and with the public. Since the email, the mobile-food company’s stock price has dropped 5 percent. However, the email Maloney wrote and sent could impact GrubHub negatively and legally, Sezer said. “If the person is actually doing a good job, but happens to have voted the wrong way, the company risks being found guilty of violating one of the myriad laws that protect people in the workplace,” Sezer said. For management-side employees, Sezer recommends that they distance themselves from engaging in or promoting such political opinions at work. In addition, Sezer said it is always best to protect the interests of the company when firing an individual “by documenting the work-related reasons for the discharge.” “The bottom line is that although it is theoretically possible to fire someone in the private sector based on political belief, it would be risky,” Sezer said. In GrubHub’s email, Maloney did not explicitly fire any individuals, but he made it very clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. “I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best I can,” Maloney said in the email. Since the incident, there have been numerous Twitter and other social media followers of GrubHub calling for boycotts against the company. Based in Chicago, GrubHub has been in business since 2004. In addition to offices across the U.S., GrubHub also has offices in London and serves an average of over 200,000 daily food orders.)

USA TODAY
— Risky routes could be newest car insurance rate factor – Alex Glenn  (DIERSEN: Because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out, I drive my 2016 Ford Mustang, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2005 Chevy Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, and 1972 Chevy Corvette very little and only on safe roads on beautiful days and never during the winter.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2016/11/14/route-risk-patent–car-insurance-rate-price/93287372/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Putting a price tag on car insurance has always been something of a guessing game. Insurers can’t monitor your driving 24/7, so they set rates using predictive factors such as your age and crash history. But some insurers have drawn up plans for analyzing risk that may change how they charge for auto insurance. Allstate recently became the latest insurer to file a patent application for a new pricing system that charges customers based on the riskiness of each trip — joining competitors such as State Farm and Travelers Insurance.  Using sophisticated tracking technology, in the future companies could customize drivers’ rates for each trip according to the roads they choose, the weather conditions and the number of passengers, among other factors. Drivers could check the recommended “cheapest,” aka less risky, route via smartphone or other device. While it remains to be seen what specific technology emerges, companies are signaling how auto insurance pricing might evolve with these patent applications. Choosing which road to take will become a bigger decision. For most drivers, getting from point A to point B doesn’t take much thought. But under trip-based insurance, you’d have to navigate more carefully — or potentially pay more for the outing. Allstate’s patent application proposes assigning “risk values” to stretches of road based on information such as accident patterns, geographic traits, weather and more. For example, turning left at an intersection could be deemed riskier than going straight based on the accident history at that intersection. Road segments with higher risk values would carry higher insurance costs. The goal is to “promote and reward risk mitigation” among customers, according to the patent. In essence, you could end up planning trips based on how much you’re willing to spend. Instead of buying car insurance in six- or 12-month policies, you’d buy “risk units” and ration them however you see fit.)

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.)

(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!)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The liberal Democratic meltdown continues: the whining, the weeping, the blaming of Hillary Clinton, the gnashing of teeth and those heartbreaking, sighing questions about whether life is worth living anymore. And that’s not just in America’s newsrooms, either, but in many other places too. Outside newsrooms, half the country is in political mourning, the other half is still relishing the election. And if they don’t relish the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency exactly, they’re at least celebrating those videos shared on social media, of precious TV talking heads and pundits laughing hysterically while mocking the “uneducated” and the “deplorables” who didn’t have the wits to deny Hillary her Restoration.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than half of Hillary Clinton’s 2.9 million Illinois votes came from Cook County, with most of her remainder drawing from the other highly populated counties. And while President-elect Donald Trump won 91 of the state’s 102 counties, that was not enough to turn Illinois red like its neighbors. The trend of highly populated places voting Democratic and the surrounding, less populated areas voting Republican was a pattern repeated across the country. How deeply did that trend play out in Illinois?)

http://www.wandtv.com/story/33728027/apnewsbreak-va-whistleblower-resigns-citing-retaliation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Department of Veterans Affairs employee who told Congress the agency was using unauthorized wait lists for mental health care in Colorado has resigned, saying he was subjected to retaliation for speaking out. Brian Smothers told The Associated Press Wednesday the VA had opened two separate inquiries into his actions and tried to get him to sign a statement saying he had broken VA rules. He said he refused. Smothers also said the VA reassigned him to an office with no computer access, no significant duties and no social contact. He called the VA’s actions punitive and his working conditions intolerable. He said he resigned as of Tuesday. VA officials had no immediate comment on Smothers’ claim that he was punished for speaking up but said the agency does not tolerate retaliation. They said previously they take any allegation about unauthorized wait lists seriously and were cooperating with an inquiry.)

CHICAGOIST
— Rahm Calls Out Rauner, Trump As Budget Sails Through City Council – STEPHEN GOSSETT
http://chicagoist.com/2016/11/16/trump_rauner_budget.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Aldermen introduced a resolution that urged Rauner to defend undocumented immigrants and support Chicago’s sanctuary-city status. Rauner danced around the topic of Trump in the months preceding the election, trying to not embolden Democrats or hurt Republican chances in downstate races where red-leaning voters are more fond of Donald. The governor still seems shy about even speaking the president’s name. According to Tribune City Hall reporter John Byrne, Emanuel received a standing ovation from the City Council after an immigrant-support speech in which the mayor said Trump “uses a stereotype [of Jews] to justify he’s not anti-Semitic.” Emanuel on Sunday evening released a statement confirming that Chicago would stay a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants, a pronouncement he reaffirmed at a press conference on Monday with several local officials. Emanuel—who, it should be said, accepted $50,000 in donations from Trump in 2010—began to publicly challenge Trump most notably during the honorary street sign kerfuffle.)

THE BLAZE
— More millennials came out to vote for Donald Trump than expected – Brandon Morse (DIERSEN: Why?)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/16/more-millennials-came-out-to-vote-for-donald-trump-than-expected/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our pre-election poll of Millennials ages 18-34 had Clinton 49% vs. Trump 28%, a 21-point preference for the Democratic candidate. The National Exit Poll suggests that the actual split in the election was 55% for Clinton to 37% for Trump (an 18-point gap) among youth aged 18-29. Throughout the election season, our analysis has emphasized the demographic and ideological heterogeneity of Millennials, contradicting facile generalizations that characterize them as the “Obama generation.” In particular, there are regularly stark differences in ideology and issue positions among Millennials of different races, genders, and socioeconomic status.)

THE LEDGER
— Trump vs. the federal bureaucracy – Betsy McCaughey  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Who sides with my Democrat superiors, my Democrat supervisors, my Democrat coworkers, and my Democrat subordinates in the federal government against me?  ANSWER: Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois.)
http://www.theledger.com/opinion/20161117/mccaughey-trump-vs-federal-bureaucracy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s triumph over Hillary Clinton presages an even bigger battle against the heart of the Democratic establishment: the federal workforce. This army of bureaucrats – almost 3 million strong – gave Clinton a large majority of their votes and more than 90 percent of their campaign contributions. Count on federal workers and their union bosses to use every trick in the book to block Trump’s reform agenda. Trump’s ability to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, clean up IRS abuses, rollback job-killing regulations and get taxpayers’ their money’s worth all hinge on uprooting the entrenched civil service. Newt Gingrich, a top Trump adviser, warns that “if you don’t fix this problem, nothing in government is going to work.” That’s a tall order. The bureaucracy generally retains its vise-like grip on the executive branch, as presidents come and go. Public unions are already digging in for a fight. Responding to the election, J. David Cox, President of the American Federation of Government Employees dismissed Trump’s plans as more or less irrelevant. AFGE members have their own big-government agenda, and “that never changes no matter who sits in the White House.” Protection of the status quo at any cost. Even death. Thousands of sick vets died at the VA because of employee self-dealing. Bureaucrats doctored the medical wait lists to earn bonuses while vets languished without care. Despite Congress enacting “reforms” and President Barack Obama appointing a new VA secretary in 2014, the bureaucracy continues to block giving vets access to civilian care. How impossible is it to fire anyone at the VA? A surgeon found guilty of abandoning a patient on the operating table and leaving the medical center still got an $11,000 bonus. Candidate Trump promised to make swift changes at the VA. Exit polls show military families voted for him 2-1 over Clinton. Dan Caldwell of Concerned Veterans for America says he’s encouraged to see civil service reform at the top of Trump’s agenda.)

They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, c) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, d) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, e) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, f) are operatives for the aforesaid, and/or g) are dupes for the aforesaid.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— The Privilege That Wasn’t – ERICKA ANDERSEN  (DIERSEN: Are you White?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, virtually all of whom are White, have always attributed the successes that I have had in life to my being White, that is, to White privilege.  They shout that I have never been adversely impacted by political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.)
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442208/white-privilege-donald-trump-voters-election-lessons-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The experience of many white people across the country is the opposite of privilege. Many of those in the public eye have assigned “privilege” to all white people. Recently, I’ve seen several people share a quote on social media that reads, “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” The assertion is that Trump voters don’t recognize their privilege over marginalized groups seeking equality. But quite a few people are missing a big part of the picture. For a good many white people in the U.S., “privilege” is not a word they relate to. And equality — as far as attention to the problems they are facing — is something they too want our leaders to give them. And it’s hard for members of the media, the cultural elite, and many minority groups to grasp that. The intent in focusing on white privilege (which I do believe is real for many) is not wrong — but it’s sometimes misguided. To understand where that focus has gone wrong is not to downplay the very real problems that do face minority groups in this country. But let’s talk about another side of the coin when it comes to white privilege. Part of what drove the Trump takeover of 2016 was the fact that liberal culture is obsessed with identity politics based on race and sex, having all but forgotten anyone who isn’t a racial, ethnic, or sexual minority — and the bread-and-butter issues that exist outside of those categories.  Classism is a very real thing too — and this year, the white working class of America stood up and said very loudly: You’ve forgotten about us.)

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.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 19-year-old man has been charged with killing his pregnant girlfriend and her 16-year-old brother, Chicago police said.

Harris left the victim’s South Chicago home in the 8000-block of South Shore Drive and returned with a gun, shooting House in the back several times, police said. Harris then turned the gun on his girlfriend 20-year-old Emoni House. The siblings’ mother was also shot along with a 30-year-old woman, police said. They both survived. Harris, of Chicago, has been charged with two felony counts of first degree murder and two felony counts of aggravated battery discharging of a firearm, police said.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/11/11/students-host-unity-rally-in-naperville/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four-hundred students and west suburbanites took part in a post-election unity rally Friday on the North Central College campus, in Naperville. Signs read “Unity, not hate,” and organizers called the rally a “march on love.” WBBM’s Bob Roberts reports. But many misgivings were aired at the 45-minute rally. Students spoke about fear of discrimination on the basis of religion, sexual preference and legal status. Openly gay North Central sophomore Tommy Verdala said he does not know what to expect from a Trump administration, especially from Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Junior Kaitlin Roydal said she has many misgivings but decided she did not have time for fear to become hate. The College Democrats sponsored the rally, but club President Kevin Oyakawa said he and the club have received compliments from campus conservatives for their effort to dial down campus tensions.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— BEYOND DISGUSTING: Video gambling interests betting on politicians’ backing – BGA  (DIERSEN: Gambling is a vice. If you promote video gambling, you promote vice.  If you promote vice, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican. Democrats and RINOs promote vice.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/bga-video-gambling-interests-betting-on-politicians-backing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In February 2014, eight days before it applied for a liquor license, Illinois’ largest chain of gambling parlors contributed $1,000 to the political fund of Elmwood Park Mayor Angelo “Skip” Saviano. Blackhawk Restaurant Group got the liquor license. It since has given another $2,000 to Saviano, who doubles as the suburb’s liquor commissioner. And it has taken in $622,000 since August 2014 from its video-gambling machines in Elmwood Park. “If people want to participate in the political process, they can, and they will,” Saviano says. “Sometimes, they give. Sometimes, they don’t.” The video gambling industry operates more than 24,000 machines statewide — enough to stock 20 full-service casinos. To continue to grow, it has given more than $1 million in the past eight years to Illinois politicians, election records show. Giving money to politicians “allows us to educate them to make decisions,” says Pete Pontius, director of loss prevention and compliance for video gambling machine owner B&B Amusement. Video gambling in Illinois is big business, with more than $32 billion in bets on the machines generating $784 million in state and local taxes since the machines went live in 2012. The biggest portion of that revenue — about $1.8 billion — is split between the thousands of small establishments where people go to play the games and the 55 companies that own the machines and lease them out. In the Chicago area, video gambling interests have given more than $83,000 since 2012 to mayors, who typically must sign off on liquor licenses because they also serve as liquor commissioner for their communities.)

— See why Trump protesters are wearing safety pins after Donald Trump’s big win – Chris Enloe  (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on marginalizing others?)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/12/see-why-trump-protesters-are-wearing-safety-pins-after-donald-trumps-big-win/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many Americans are wearing safety pins on their shirts following President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive win over Democrat Hillary Clinton earlier this week to show they are a “safe space” for those who feel hurt by Trump’s victory. The pins became a symbol of marginalized people following the Brexit vote earlier this summer, when Great Britain narrowly voted to leave the European Union.)
— ‘An absolute embarrassment’: This Democratic senator lashes out at Harry Reid over Trump comments – Chris Enloe
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/12/an-absolute-embarrassment-this-democratic-senator-lashes-out-at-harry-reid-over-trump-comments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) sharply criticized Democratic senatorial leader Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.) late Friday, calling the longtime Democratic leader “an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation.”  Manchin’s comments came in response to Reid releasing a statement on Friday that completely denounced President-elect Donald Trump. In part, Reid labeled Trump a “sexual predator” that “lost the popular vote.”  Machin, who is one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate, believes Reid’s outright opposition to the will of the people is a disgrace — and that it’s only helping to further divide the nation. “I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” Manchin said of Reid, according to a statement. “As difficult as it is for anyone to lose an election, the American people have spoken and Donald Trump is our President-elect. Senator Reid’s words needlessly feed the very divisiveness that is tearing this country apart.” “We are Americans first, not Democrats or Republicans first,” he added. “Unfortunately, there are some who forget that at times like these it is wrong to put party and politics above our country.” Several news publications on Election Day reported that Manchin would begin to caucus with the Republicans in the Senate, but he later denied the reports. Manchin is up for re-election in 2018.)

— Who’s paying for the violence?  (DIERSEN: Are the protestors being paid at least $15 an hour?)

(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.)
