DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County will have at least three contested mayoral races – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181126/dupage-county-will-have-at-least-three-contested-mayoral-races
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton Voters in Wheaton will choose between two contenders vying to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. City Councilman Phil Suess officially entered the mayoral race on the last day of candidate filing, though he confirmed his campaign months ago. His council colleague and opponent in the mayoral race, John Prendiville, turned in his nominating petitions when the filing period opened a week ago. Three candidates — incumbent Suzanne Fitch and newcomers Ron Almiron and Erica Bray-Parker — will square off for two available at-large council seats. Nominating papers were filed last Monday on behalf of Fitch and Almiron, an attorney who finished out of contention in a crowded GOP primary last spring for two District 4 seats on the county board. Erica Bray-Parker also filed last Monday for an at-large council seat. Bray-Parker has been a civics teacher at Glenbard North High School for 25 years and lived in Wheaton for more than two decades. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, ran unopposed last year to retain his seat representing the North District. His fourth term on the council doesn’t expire until 2021. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corp., a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago’s collar counties no longer GOP turf The final election totals underline that Democratic wins weren’t just at the top of the ticket, but for key county-level jobs, too. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/chicagos-collar-counties-no-longer-gop-turf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political insiders are divided over how much of this has to do with a drag on the ticket from the locally unpopular President Donald Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner, with the latter losing to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in all but McHenry County. But when even long-time entrenched GOP incumbents like DuPage County Board President Dan Cronin barely survive, something is different. In DuPage, which for decades was the center of GOP statewide politics, Cronin got just 51.02 percent of the vote against his Democratic foe, according to unofficial but complete totals compiled by the county’s election commission. Democrats took the county clerk’s spot and apparently will have seven seats on the county board, up from just one now. All of that comes on top of Democratic U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski, Mike Quigley, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Bill Foster, and Reps.-elect Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood, each leading the ballot in that portion of their districts located in DuPage.)

— Champaign County Republicans working on 2020 vision – Debra Pressey
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2018-11-25/champaign-county-republicans-working-2020-vision.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Less than three weeks after a brutal election outcome for Champaign County Republicans, they’re looking down the road at the next big challenge. That is: How to avoid another blue sweep of countywide offices in 2020. Six Champaign County-wide offices will be up for election when Americans choose their next president — county coroner, county recorder, circuit clerk, state’s attorney, circuit judge and county auditor. Democrat George Danos won the auditor’s office in the Nov. 6 election for a two-year unexpired term — which places the office back in play in 2020. And Circuit Judge Jason Bohm said he’ll be running as a Republican in his first election after being appointed to the bench earlier this year. Three other countywide offices up for election are currently held by Republicans — Circuit Clerk Katie Blakeman, Coroner Duane Northrup and Recorder Mark Shelden — and all three said they plan to run again in 2020. . .He sees three issues for his party to address. One is acknowledging it wasn’t a single problem — such as voter dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump — but multiple problems in the last election, “and we have to identify what those problems are and mitigate the ones we can’t get rid of,” he said. . .The Trump factor Republican county board member Jon Rector is also in a seat up for election in 2020. In 2016, he won by just 38 votes, “and two years from now, with what’s happening at the top of the ticket with the Republicans, it’ll be a challenge,” he said. . .Given his promise to always vote his conscience first and his party second on the county board, Rector said he found it disappointing that many voters didn’t do their homework. “These students on campus are so bright, and all they went by — they were told that Donald Trump is horrible and don’t vote for any local ‘R,'” he said. “I applaud them for voting, but they need to do their homework.” A particular challenge for Republicans at the local level, Shelden said, is that the average students who live outside the area but vote in Champaign County naturally gravitate toward national politics. “For the Republican Party, we absolutely need to have a better message for younger voters,” he said. Republican John Farney, who will be handing over the county treasurer’s office to Democratic opponent Laurel Prussing next month, said he ran his most grassroots campaign ever in the recent election — but work done by him and fellow GOP candidates couldn’t trump voter dissatisfaction with Washington. Some of the feedback he has gotten post-election is that he didn’t do enough to position himself as anti-Trump, Farney said, though he doesn’t see that making a difference. “A certain segment of the voting population sees Republican and thinks Trump, especially folks who are not tied into local issues,” he said. Despite the outcome, Farney said he still regards the campaign as having been a great experience — though he doubts he’ll ever run for office again. “I have a sense of relief that has come over me,” he said. “There are a lot of issues facing county government, and, quite honestly, the keys to the castle have been handed over to the local Democrats, and they’re going to have a lot of decisions to make over the next few years. And I wish them the best of luck.”)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Trump and the ongoing culture war – Robert Knight
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/25/trump-and-the-ongoing-culture-war/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since November 2016, the media and the progressive left have been pounding the same two claims. The first is that Donald Trump was not really elected, since Hillary Clinton got more popular votes. The second is that anyone who voted for Mr. Trump or supports him today is a white male supremacist bigot. And probably homophobic and xenophobic to boot. Regardless of actual race or sex. Regarding the first claim, Hillary’s national margin of 2.8 million votes can be explained entirely by California, which has become a one-party, socialist state with enormous potential for vote fraud. Mrs. Clinton collected 4.3 million more votes in the Golden State than Mr. Trump, and, as Investor’s Business Daily noted after the final count, “If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes. And if California voted like every other Democratic state — where Clinton averaged 53.5 percent wins — Clinton and Trump end up in a virtual popular vote tie.” There weren’t even any Republicans on the ballot in the U.S. Senate race, and no Republicans were running for House seats in nine of California’s 53 congressional districts, of which 45 now are represented by Democrats.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So why should we be glad for this mediocre performance? Because the Democrats dominate education, the media and Hollywood (they also dominate the legal system, but that’s another story for another day). And aging hippy Baby Boomers have raised the latest generation of adults, the Millennials. We should have done worse. The Democrats spent years brainwashing our children in the public schools and universities. K-12 and college youth are now taught that Republican ideals are racist, sexist, homophobic — so wrong that they must be censored out of society. Those who disagree with this groupthink are punished. It takes guts to stand up and be a pariah among your fellow students and risk getting a bad grade from your teachers. Democrats constitute 41 percent of K-12 teachers. Only 27 percent are Republicans. Half voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, in contrast to 29 percent for Donald Trump. The school administration forces liberal curriculum on the teachers, which counters any conservatism they may have. Democratic professors in college outnumber Republicans even worse, 10 to 1. The Harvard University faculty backs Democrats 96 percent of the time. One of the few faculty members there who is not a Democrat was too afraid to comment about it. “Sorry, but the smart thing for me to do about this kind of issue is not to comment!” he said when asked for a comment by Fox News. The Democrats control most of the media, constantly spinning the news to make Republicans look mean and Democrats look like saints. More than 96 percent of donations from media figures to either of the two major-party presidential candidates went to Hillary Clinton. The three major TV broadcast networks have the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history — 92 percent. Only eight percent of the coverage of Trump is positive. Hollywood movies do the same thing. I just watched “The First Purge,” which is a classic example of this bias. It features a party in power known as “The New Founding Fathers of America.” This administration starts a “purge,” where for one day a year, crime is legal and people are free to go around murdering other people and committing any crime they want. The NRA supports the purge. The administration justifies it with the need for population control of poor people. It’s the same old tired Hollywood plot to portray Republicans as evil and Democrats as righteous moral crusaders. Beautiful minorities comprise the opposition fighting back against this oppressive regime. Republicans are always portrayed as old white men and Democrats as that attractive person you’d like to be friends with. Teenage minds are more impressionable than adults; what are they going to think of the mostly white (translate: racist) party that wants to murder poor people? None of the stereotypes are accurate, it’s become pretty well-known lately that Democrats were the party of racism, and there are plenty of minorities in the Republican Party who don’t buy into the Democrats’ lies. Millennials reached voting age after the worst of this indoctrination and consequently vote more Democratic than previous generations. This was also due to the influence of their left-leaning Baby Boomer parents. NPR exit polls from the midterm elections reported that two-thirds of people age 18-29 voted Democrat, which is a major bump from previous midterms. They also turned out in bigger numbers than they did in the last midterms. Young-adult turnout surged by 188 percent in early voting compared with 2014. One quarter of all voters now are Millennials. I’ve said for years during Barack Obama’s presidency that Republicans would need a celebrity in order to take back the White House due to the amount of indoctrination — and sure enough, along came Donald Trump. Trump was a Democrat for much of his adult life, and palled around with the top Hollywood elites. He was able to attract a portion of the population that is wowed by celebrities. He may not reflect conservative values perfectly due to his background, but to the left’s dismay, he is getting a lot accomplished for Republicans. And he is making significant inroads against the left’s dominance of the media by tweeting directly to the American people every day. Fortunately, there are signs things may be changing. The #WalkAway and BLEXIT movements are composed of minorities leaving the Democrat Party and exposing its deception. As technology continues to evolve, there are new areas of influence online opening up to influence the younger generations, bypassing education, the media, Hollywood and their parents. And the children of Gen X are now becoming adults, who are more conservative than the Millennials. There is some hope we haven’t lost it all.)

— Caravan confirms what Trump has been saying for weeks – Michael Graham
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/commentary-caravan-confirms-what-trump-has-been-saying-for-weeks/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Sunday, hundreds of would-be illegal immigrants gathered at the U.S. border to make a massive contribution to the Trump 2020 re-election campaign. They chanted that they weren’t bound by the idea of borders and laws (“We are not criminals! We are international workers!”). They hurled rocks at U.S. Border Patrol agents. They rushed the border itself, cutting holes in fencing and climbing walls. They forced authorities to use tear gas to protect themselves and turn back the mob. The San Ysidro Port of Entry was forced to close for more than five hours. In other words, they confirmed what President Trump has been saying for weeks about the caravan and what it represents. And, like clockwork, the president’s progressive opponents have been answering his extreme rhetoric with their own. The video of crowds of caravan participants pushing their way through border fencing or throwing rocks at uniformed Americans is disturbing. Even more disturbing is the fact that the caravan’s participants and organizers (like the subtly-named group “People Without Borders”) have been telegraphing their plans for weeks. Weeks ago, while media outlets criticized President Trump over the caravan issue and insisting that it posed no threat, actual participants were looking into TV cameras and announcing their intention to cross the U.S. border — no matter what. And now they’ve tried to do just that. The situation is so bad that Mexico’s interior department announced Sunday it will deport around 500 migrants because they ignored Mexican authorities and tried to cross the border “violently” and illegally.” Does it now seem so ludicrous to put a few thousand American soldiers at that border? The American Left still thinks so.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Conservatism Isn’t Dead Yet The great contradiction is between what liberals claim to believe and the way they live their own lives. – Bobby Jinda
https://www.wsj.com/articles/conservatism-isnt-dead-yet-1543176293
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Liberals rail against supposedly rampant structural inequalities, and cite disparate impacts as proof of inherent racism and sexism. Women and minorities are broadly disadvantaged, according to this perspective, due to the evils of “white privilege.” Structural bias counts more than individual effort, so that neither success nor failure is truly earned. . .Liberals embrace multiculturalism, claiming all cultures are at least morally and practically equivalent, while they also denigrate Western culture as intrinsically tied to a history of slavery and colonialism. College campuses are filled with students and professors arguing that America is the greatest threat to world peace and development. Yet despite the West’s imperfections, modern liberal democracy still offers the best governing system on earth to promote freedom and human dignity. Few women would willingly trade its equality for the female genital mutilations, child marriage, sex-selective abortions and other gender-based injustices found in other societies. Even a Churchillian acknowledgment from the left that American culture is the least-bad choice would be progress. Liberals have championed the sexual revolution to overturn traditional mores around ethics and marriage, and to promote freedom from restraint as the ultimate sexual—though not economic—good. Pursuing pleasure and abandoning restraint make for popular bumper stickers, song lyrics and movie plots. Yet the benefits of monogamy and fidelity, for both adults and the children they bring into the world, have been demonstrated repeatedly. Marriage and intact families are correlated with higher incomes, stronger economic growth, upward mobility, higher workforce-participation rates, decreased child poverty and lower dropout rates. Indeed, marriage is most common and more enduring among affluent, educated Americans. Liberal elites would rather folks do as they say, rather than as they do.)

How much money in the form of increased taxes are anti-Trumps in the aforesaid going to make you pay to give illegals “free stuff?”)
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/howie_carr/2018/11/howie_carr_asylum_caravans_future_democrats_dream_of_life_in_land
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thanksgiving’s over, so now it’s back to covering the ongoing invasion — I mean, the asylum caravan — on the southern border of the United States. Invasion — that’s how the lawless mobs seeking the eternal gravy train are described by both the president of the U.S. and the mayor of Tijuana, where the hordes are currently getting drunk and creating their own local crime wave while massing for the upcoming big crossing. It’ll be like the 49ers, or the Sooners, only this mob won’t be looking for gold or land. They’ll be sprinting toward the welfare offices of the gringos. Everything free in America! Proudly waving the flags of the hellhole countries that they claim “persecuted” them, the vast majority of these invaders will end up on the dole, voting Democrat to protect their handouts, just like the tens of millions who preceded them to the Land of the Free (Stuff). We are told the “Dreamers” are the best of the illegal immigrants. Yet according to a Harvard researcher, even 74 percent of them are indigent wards of the state. Where do the working classes of America go to get “asylum” from the millions of foreign criminals swarming across the border? Speaking of asylum, there’s interesting local news this week about some infamous “asylum” seekers, i.e., welfare recipients. Remember the Tsarnaev brothers, Muslim mass murderers from the Third World? These terrorists came here for “asylum,” lived in Section 8 housing, flaunted their EBT cards, gamed college scholarships and MassHealth benefits and finally expressed their gratitude by murdering their American benefactors. Now the lawyers for the younger Tsarnaev fiend have filed briefs reiterating what we already knew — that the older brother, Tamerlan “Speedbump” Tsarnaev, celebrated the 10th anniversary of 9/11 back in 2011 by slitting the throats of three Americans in Waltham — Jewish Americans. “Committing jihad,” as one of the other terrorists is quoted as saying in the court filing. Of course, not all invaders participating in the “fundamental transformation” of America want to commit jihad. Some just want to commit crimes, because they know nothing will happen to them when they do. Consider Luis Rodrigo Perez, a Dreamer, age 23, illegal immigrant from Mexico. His dream was to murder Americans, and this month he has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams, thanks to the fact that New Jersey refused to hold him on an ICE detainer when he was jailed on domestic violence charges. Not only did New Jersey Democrats not honor the feds’ detainer, they didn’t even tell ICE when they cut him loose. Days later, the career criminal was in Springfield, Mo., accused of murdering three Americans. Two were heard begging for their lives. He allegedly wounded two others before finally being collared. Last week a video went viral of a Mexican illegal immigrant in Arkansas shooting at cops. Luis Cabos-Cenabio had two previous arrests during the Obama years, but the Democrats decided he should remain in the country, on welfare. America wasn’t always like this. Once we were a sovereign nation. We had borders, and everyone had to obey the law, not just taxpayers, citizens and legal immigrants. But something happened. Fifty-five years ago today, John F. Kennedy was buried. With JFK’s murder, something happened to the American psyche, at least the Democrats’ psyche. Eighteen months later, at the behest of Ted Kennedy, the Democrats passed the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. The floodgates opened, and the slaughter began. Now the Democrats demand ever more of what’s destroying this country — illegal immigration. Lee Harvey Oswald, or whoever killed JFK, has a lot to answer for.)

— Gov’t plans to raise working age limit to 70 (DIERSEN: It is called “up-or-out.” The federal government wastes the careers of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Extremely few make the aforesaid deadlines. What if the federal government raised the aforesaid deadlines by 5 years or 10 years?)
https://japantoday.com/category/politics/japan-to-pave-way-for-raising-working-age-limit-to-70
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Japanese government wants to raise the working age limit to 70 from the current 65 as part of efforts to promote economic growth in the fast-graying country, according to a draft plan compiled by a government panel. The draft midterm report by the committee responsible for coming up with the government’s growth strategy also calls for making big firms disclose the ratio of different age groups among employees, a move aimed at promoting mid-career employment among companies, which tend to heavily recruit people freshly out of school.)

None of the aforesaid employees joined the agency-wide class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation like I did. Instead, they “cut deals” with GAO to keep their jobs. Those deals included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keeping me off audits of IRS, and g) forcing me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This trend of nonstop, immigration maximalism is the sort of driving force that Huntington’s Who Are We? notes has contributed to the decimation of America’s national identity which the political Left has justified through the revisionist story of the pilgrims. “‘We Americans’ face a substantive problem of national identity epitomized by the subject of this sentence. Are we a ‘we,’ one people or several? If we are a ‘we,’ what distinguishes us from the ‘thems’ who are not us? …” Huntington wrote in 2004. “These questions remain for Americans in their post-September 11 era.”)

While he will be new to the office if results hold up, Hebreard is not at all new to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. The 41-year-old Downers Grove native has worked for the district for the past 13 ½ years, including the past 10 as a senior ranger. “As a park ranger, we’re on the front lines with residents and users, so we get a very good idea of what people want and what’s needed,” Hebreard said.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— When former state GOP leader Pat Brady said President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about women and minorities “hurts” Republicans, some guests at Monday’s City Club event booed. “Whether you like it or not,” Brady told the City Club crowd at Maggiano’s Banquets, “We have to come up with an Illinois strategy that bifurcates us away from the president’s message or we won’t be able to recruit people.” Monday’s contentious scene is just another indication of how divided the Republican Party is after that blue-ish wave swept Illinois. The event was titled “Illinois GOP: Now What?” At one point Brady also called out Dan Proft, who runs a right-wing PAC, for funneling $1.2 million to a primary candidate challenging Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin—who ultimately won. That kind of financial support could have benefited Erika Harold, Brady said of the GOP attorney general candidate who fell short. Brady wants financial support to carry candidates through the general election. But Proft, also a panelist, disagreed, saying, “Competition produces better goods and services. Primaries are for improving the quality of the caucus and generals are for growing the caucus.” There was a glimmer of unity. Proft agreed with Brady on the need to do a better job recruiting young people, women and minorities. So now what? . . . A Cook County Circuit Court judge has ruled a Chicago restaurateur can move ahead with his defamation lawsuit against Crain Communications.

AFTAH is dedicated to “apply[ing] the same single-minded determination to opposing the radical homosexual agenda and standing for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family as countless homosexual groups do in promoting their harmful agenda.” LaBarbera frequently debates homosexual issues on mainstream and pro-LGBT media, and has written for LifeSiteNews. On Sunday, Facebook took down AFTAH’s Facebook page entirely, leaving only a “Page Not Found” message in its place as of the time of this writing.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As of Monday night, Hebreard clung to a 116-vote lead with 177,185 votes, around 50.02 percent of the unofficial total. Cantore had 177,069 votes, around 49.98 percent of the unofficial total. The DuPage County Election Commission counted nearly 300 vote-by-mail ballots on Monday. Suzanne Fahnestock, the commission’s executive director, said Tuesday is the deadline for additional vote-by-mail ballots to arrive. Also on Tuesday, the commission will complete its review of roughly 1,800 provisional ballots, Fahnestock said. Provisional ballots that are found to be valid then will be counted. DuPage’s election results won’t become official until Nov. 27. Then it will be up to the candidates to decide if they want to move to the next step.)

November 19 Morning Edition

DAILY HERALD
— Contested mayoral races expected in Naperville, Wheaton, Downers Grove (DIERSEN: Ronald Almiron has also filed for an at-large seat on the Wheaton City Council.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/contested-mayoral-races-expected-in-naperville-wheaton-downers-grove–
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Councilman John Prendiville officially launched his campaign as the first mayoral candidate to submit nominating petitions to appear on the April ballot. Prendiville turned in his paperwork at the city clerk’s office when the filing period opened at 8 a.m. in order to claim the first spot on the ballot in the April 2 election. Another longtime council member, Phil Suess, also has announced his bid to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues. Prendiville already is touting endorsements from two former mayors, Jim Carr and Gwen Henry. Gresk has said he will not make an endorsement in the race. “I really enjoyed my time on the city council I’d like to keep the city on the track that we’ve been on,” Prendiville said. “We’ve been very fiscally responsible and I think that is the basis for everything we do as a city in terms of providing services and maintaining our infrastructure and I enjoy working with everybody and I think that my ability to work with others is one of the reasons why I’ve gotten the support so far.” Incumbent Suzanne Fitch filed Monday to run for re-election for her at-large council seat. The other at-large seat — held by Prendiville — also is up for grabs. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Five residents — Paula Mesch, Bruce Fogerty, Reda Karaliukas, David Diersen (DIERSEN: I pulled a nominating packet for someone else, not for myself.) and Jeremy Parker — have pulled nominating packets from the city clerk’s office but have not yet filed. It’s not yet clear which offices they would seek. The filing period runs until 5 p.m. Nov. 26. If more than four mayoral candidates or if more than eight at-large city council member candidates emerge, a primary will be held Feb. 26 to narrow the field.)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Will voters stay energized for local elections? – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: Because Democrats were so successful a) in promoting hatred of Trump and b) in getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats in the November 6, 2018 election, Democrats will do the same thing for the April 2, 2019 election. Democrats will demonize, denigrate and condemn Republican candidates in the April 2, 2019 election as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Democrats will demand that Republican candidates demonize, denigrate, and condemn Trump as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181119/will-voters-stay-energized-for-local-elections-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political organizers say they are trying to seize the momentum from the recent election to attract more people to run for local offices. “We hope the enthusiasm continues and we’ll see how many we can get out to get interested in these posts,” said Bob Peickert, chairman of the DuPage Democratic Party. “This is an opportunity to have some experience in local government, and they can get a better understanding of how government works. It is a form of minor leagues.” Schraufnagel said it’s “conceivable” the so-called blue wave that helped Democrats seize a number of seats at all levels of the government would continue for the local election of 2019. But it’s even more likely Republicans will use this opportunity to reinvigorate their ranks, he said. Both Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, and departing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have shared some of their war chests with township and county parties, which could help bolster future local government campaigns. “Using local elections as a farm system dates back to the late 1970s for Republicans,” Schraufnagel said. “This is a strategy that has been around for 30 or 40 years to groom them and train them.”)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— When 40 years at the same job is not enough – Jonathan Haskell (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. To make room for its young Democrat minority employees and for its young Democrat female employees, the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employee who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Extremely few make the aforesaid promotions.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I’m taking my forced retirement in seven months. Forced, because it’s the law in the European country where I work. On the first day of the month following your 65th birthday, you’re no longer an employee. Most people must look forward to that day when they can sleep in, wear cargo pants, plan vacations off-season — not taking orders from feckless bosses, dealing with problematic colleagues or fighting traffic home from work. . .Since President Ronald Reagan, there is no age discrimination at the workplace in the U.S., but that’s not the case here. So I’ll be out on June 1 to make room for one of the many deserving young persons.)

NORTHERN PUBLIC RADIO
— The Blue Wave That Inundated Illinois: What’s Next? – BOB EVANS (DIERSEN: The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) will meet on Saturday, December 1, 2018. What will “Republican leaders” in Illinois who are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs demand? If they were open and honest about what they want, they would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately condemn Trump and condemn Pence. They would demand that the IRP immediately strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from its platform. They would demand that the IRP and all its county, ward, and township organizations immediately banish from the IRP a) those who support the aforesaid planks and b) those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. What do the following have to say about the aforesaid: IRP Chairman (Tim Schneider), IRP National Committeeman (Richard Porter), IRP National Committeewoman (Demetra DeMonte), your representative on the IRP SCC (mine is Bob Grogan), the officers of your Republican county party organization (mine are Brian Krajewski, Marty Keller, Paul Hinds, Barbara Murphy, and Gwen Henry), and the officers of your Republican township/ward party organization (mine are Chris LeVan, John Monino, and Yadav Nathwani)?)
http://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/blue-wave-inundated-illinois-whats-next
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The midterms generated a blue wave that inundated Illinois. Pritzker romped. Democrats won every state-wide office and defended their extraordinary legislative majorities. Illinois is now one of the bluest of blue states. What happened, and what’s next? It happened for several reasons. First, Illinois is, and has been, trending Democratic. Demographic changes are profound and persistent. ‎In addition, there was a down ballot anti-Trump and anti-Rauner effect. Trump’s biting social and cultural message that perhaps saved Senate seats cost Republicans House seats such as Illinois 6 and 14. Moderate suburban voters abandoned Republicans. The anti-Rauner effect was cumulative but fatal down ballot. His obstreperous budget stance, combined with yielding to Democrats on abortion and sanctuary status, alienated Independents and Republicans, who never returned to the fold. He cooked his own goose. Now that Democrats virtually control Illinois there are no bucks to be passed.‎ Two choices loom. They can claim a mandate for bold new programs, but at great cost. Illinois does not have two nickels to rub together. Or they could proceed modestly, conserving scarce resources for the looming budgetary tidal wave. Democrats will signal modesty and prudence if they consider early on a bill to place Republicans on the Endangered Species List. I am Bob Evans, and that is my perspective.)

They have gotten many activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican to treat me like Trump treats Acosta. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

FED SMITH
— Can You Work Longer in a Position with Mandatory Retirement? – John Grobe (DIERSEN: Constructively, it is mandatory for federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible, unless they have made into the Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200/year). I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/11/18/can-work-longer-position-mandatory-retirement/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Certain federal positions have mandatory retirement ages associated with them. Those that most of us are aware of are Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and Air Traffic Controllers, though there are a few other “special category” employees. Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters are expected to be “young and vigorous” (yes, that’s what the law says), and Congress has determined that youth and vigor depart at the age of 57. Air Traffic Controllers have a mandatory retirement age of 56. So, unless there is an exception granted by the agency head, individuals in these positions must be off the rolls at the end of the month in which they reach their mandatory age. Exceptions are limited to just a few years.)

DAILY HERALD
— With changing political landscape, outgoing state Sen. Rooney saw defeat coming – Christopher Placek (DIERSEN: How successful were the Democrats in your precinct in a) promoting hatred against Trump and b) getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181117/with-changing-political-landscape-outgoing-state-sen-rooney-saw-defeat-coming
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outgoing Republican state Sen. Tom Rooney of Rolling Meadows is staying out of elected politics for now — if not at least keeping a toe in his local GOP organization in an effort to build it back into a party of ideas, he said. But Rooney, considered a moderate in some Republican circles, said he doesn’t see an immediate path forward for the party in suburban elections. He attributed his recent narrow defeat at the polls to suburban dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump. “Absolutely no doubt people had nationalized this election, and quite frankly I spoke to people at doors who said, ‘Sorry, I’m not doing anything with an R,'” said Rooney, a Marco Rubio presidential delegate who even wrote in the Florida senator on the 2016 general election ballot. “The suburban vote is tough for Republicans at this point.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181117/why-four-dupage-towns-begin-the-2019-election-process-on-monday
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Mayor Michael Gresk and two at-large council members — Suzanne Fitch and John Prendiville — have terms that expire in May. Gresk, first elected in 2007, is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville and Councilman Phil Suess already have announced that they will run to succeed Gresk. That means no incumbent will be running for Prendiville’s at-large seat on the council. Fitch has said she intends to seek re-election to her at-large seat. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large.)
