Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren, even though the president helped Downstate Republicans.)

— Change in Control of House Could Have Big Impact for Federal Employees (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are not federal employees or federal retirees wanted Henry Hyde, Peter Roskam, and all the other Republican U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators to cut federal pay and benefits. They are furious that I have a $51,864/year Civil Service Retirement System pension and a $18,000/year federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy. They are furious that my pay increased from $15.85/hour to $125,325/year in today’s dollars while I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and that I had vacation, sick leave, and other benefits. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

https://abc7chicago.com/politics/trump-revels-in-victories-revokes-cnn-reporters-press-credentials/4640053/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump sparred with CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, who asked him questions about the migrant caravan headed for the U.S. and the Russia investigation. “That’s enough, put down the mic,” Trump said to Acosta, as he tried to ask more questions. Acosta struggled with a woman in a maroon dress tried to take the microphone from him. She eventually succeeded and handed it to another reporter. “CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.” Acosta tweeted just before 8 p.m. Eastern Time that Secret Service denied him entry to the White House grounds for his live shot. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of physically assaulting a White House intern and saying his press credentials had been revoked until further notice. “President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable,” Sanders wrote in the statement. The statement claimed, without evidence, that Trump has “given the press more access than any President in history,” and concluded, “As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181107/dont-write-illinois-gops-eulogy-just-yet-election-expert-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton, who narrowly lost to Gov. Bruce Rauner in the GOP gubernatorial primary, said state party leadership failed this election cycle. “The Illinois Republican Party needs new leadership at this point,” she said, suggesting Republicans from downstate or central Illinois could be up for the task. With Gov. Bruce Rauner out of the picture, so, too, is the money he sunk into GOP campaigns — and that’ll cause problems for Republican candidates, Redfield said. The GOP also will struggle until it finds its identity, Redfield said. The conservative wing led by Ives and activist Dan Proft has been targeting socially moderate Republicans to the detriment of the party, he said. “I suspect there’s going to be a real battle for control (of the state party),” Redfield said. “If they’re not sure who they are and they don’t replace Rauner’s money, they’re going to be in a world of hurt in two years, especially with (President) Trump at the head of the ticket.” Based on voter demographics, Republican political consultant Brad Goodman said, the party will become less and less relevant unless it can put up candidates young suburban women will support.)

— SALT Cap Comes Back to Haunt GOP With Key Tax Writers Losing Their Seats – Laura Davison
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-07/salt-cap-comes-back-to-haunt-as-key-gop-tax-writers-lose-bids
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two of the key players behind the tax overhaul — Illinois’ Peter Roskam and Minnesota’s Erik Paulsen — were among the six casualties. They sit on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, whose Republican bench has been wiped out by losses, as well as retirements. Ten of the 24 Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee won’t return to Congress next year — in addition to Roskam and Paulsen, two members from low-tax states lost their re-election bids and six more decided to retire or run for other office. The loss of many of the committee’s top lawmakers means the GOP will need to rebuild members’ expertise in tax, trade and health-care issues. . .Roskam and Paulsen helped craft the 2017 bill and continued to support it even after a controversial provision was included to limit deductions to $10,000. Previously, they were unlimited. The lawmakers had hoped campaigning on the tax law’s other benefits, such as lower rates for individuals and more generous child tax credits, could offset voter frustration over the new cap. . .Roskam, who served as the House Ways and Means tax policy subcommittee chairman during the tax overhaul process, hails from a suburban Chicago district where the counties are some of the highest taxed in the state. About 49.3 percent of the tax returns filed in the district prior to the law change claimed the SALT deduction, according to data from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. Roskam’s Democratic opponent, Sean Casten repeatedly campaigned on eliminating the SALT cap. “The fact that nearly half of his own constituents claim this deduction didn’t prevent Peter Roskam from making SALT a target,” Casten said in a white paper he published about tax policy. Over the course of the campaign, Roskam softened his support for the SALT cap, saying it should be indexed to inflation.)

— Rebuilding the shell-shocked Illinois GOP – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-election-illinois-future-republicans-20181107-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: What’s an Illinois Republican Party to do? Recoil and tremble? Or unite and rebuild? Here’s the first step: Mend the fracture between establishment and conservative Republicans — Rauner supporters and those who backed his primary opponent, Rep. Jeanne Ives — and begin the rebuilding process. Find common ground and bury old grudges. Coalesce around new, fresh leadership in the House and Senate. The talent is there. House and Senate members who managed to fend off challengers — Sens. Neil Anderson of Andalusia and John Curran of Downers Grove, along with Reps. Mark Batinick of Plainfield, Tom Morrison of Palatine, Tom Demmer of Dixon, Grant Wehrli of Naperville, to name a few — will have to retread this party. And they’ll have to do it without worrying about the next election. Don’t go weak. Go big — that is, as big as a minority party can go. Give the people of Illinois fresh ideas for fixing this state’s government and economy. . .The GOP can have its comeback. The process will be a grind. Given the lingering hard feelings between conservatives and the more moderate establishment, even agreeing on leadership post-Rauner will be grueling. But the infighting that has pitted Republicans against one another needs to stop. On Tuesday, that intramural acrimony within the GOP helped the Democrats. But Tuesday is history. Republicans, stop the self-destruction. Unify. Rebuild. Start now.)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— How will Illinois’ political journalists vote on Tuesday? We have a guess. – LGIS News Service (DIERSEN: LGIS News Service DOES NOT CONSIDER ME TO BE A POLITICAL JOURNALIST.  My GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails drive lots of traffic to websites owned by LGIS News Service. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Since 2004, I have sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning. Since 2015, I have also sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every evening. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 317,000 articles and information about many upcoming events. What do you say to my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I AM NOT A POLITICAL JOURNALIST? Most commonly, to discredit me and to discredit my emails, they stress that no one pays me for what I do as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, that GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are free, that the emails contain no advertising or pictures, that I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, and that I do not have a degree in journalism. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, 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.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511621503-how-will-illinois-political-journalists-vote-on-tuesday-we-have-a-guess
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois’ political journalists were the only ones voting on Tuesday, J.B. Pritzker, Mike Madigan and the rest of the state’s Democrats would win in a landslide. Chicago City Wire analysis of the primary voting records of 100 leading Illinois political journalists found that 93 percent of the primary votes they’ve collectively cast have been for Democrats, versus just seven percent for Republicans. All told, out of 424 total primary votes recorded by the Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE), 395 of them were for Democrats. In the March 2018 primary, 57 of the 100 journalists reviewed voted in the Democrat primary. One, Fox 32 Political Editor Mike Flannery, voted in the Republican one. Of the 100 journalist voting records analyzed, 79 had cast more Democrat ballots than Republican ones and 18 recorded no primary votes. One journalist cast an equal number of Democrat and Republican ballots, and two cast more ballots for Republicans than Democrats. Those two are Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller (5 GOP / 4 DEM) and Doug Finke, a veteran reporter of the Springfield State Journal-Register (1/0). Miller, who founded the popular Capitol Fax newsletter in 1993, voted in Democrat primaries in 1994, 1996 and 1998, then Republican ones in 2000, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 before pulling a Democrat primary ballot again this past March. Finke has cast one primary ballot since 1992, in a four-way 2006 Republican primary that included State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, Jim Oberweis, Bill Brady and Ron Gidwitz. Topinka won 38 percent of the primary vote before falling to incumbent Democrat Rod Blagojevich in the general election. . .How do your favorite Illinois political journalists vote in primary elections? Chicago City Wire analyzed the voting records of 100 of the state’s top politics and government journalists to test the conventional wisdom. Are they really Democrat-leaning?)

Tragically, in 2016, in my precinct, only 137 voted for Trump while 211 voted for Clinton.)

Of course, their purpose to get information a) to justify their wasting my career, b) to justify their taking adverse actions against me, and c) to justify forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They most frequently asked me questions to confirm my support for the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— To measure the real base of California’s Republican support, look no further than Trump’s approval numbers – John Myers (DIERSEN: What are Trump’s approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? What do you say to Republican candidates in districts that have low Trump approval numbers a) who dump Trump to get elected/reelected and b) who dump Trump supporters like me to get elected/reelected?)
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-california-republicans-2018-election-analysis-20181105-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To calculate the size of the Republican base, just look at the president’s job-approval number. Find that loyal Trump supporter, goes the logic, and you’re looking at a voter who will stick with Republican candidates through hell or high water. That number, according to a recent poll, is about 39% of statewide likely voters. The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found that this core group of GOP voters is centered among the ranks of white male voters. Many live near San Diego or in the Central Valley. Most are registered Republicans, though some are unaffiliated “independent” voters. Many attended college but didn’t leave with a degree. Given the animus of the state’s elected officials toward Trump’s policies, 39% support for the president among likely California voters is a reasonably strong showing. (And it’s worth noting that the president’s job approval is much lower among all adults — another example of how the electorate doesn’t accurately reflect the state as a whole.) It’s less uplifting, though, for a Republican who’s trying to win statewide office. Trump may have helped reveal the contours of the party’s base, but his reputation could also create a shatterproof ceiling come election day.)

WGN TV
— Rauner’s conservative predicament – TAHMAN BRADLEY
https://wgntv.com/2018/11/02/illinois-republicans-angry-with-rauner-say-theyll-still-vote-for-him/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To win four years ago, Bruce Rauner campaigned as a fiscal conservative with no social agenda. He offered up a 44-point turnaround plan to shake up Springfield. Conservative and moderate Republicans loved it. But not long after Rauner took office, the right revolted. When it was time to seek reelection, he drew a primary challenge from State Rep. Jeanne Ives. “You know I started to lose hope that he was really going to be on the track fiscally as soon as he entered office,” Ives said. “And it had to do with him expanding massively pre-school in a state where we couldn’t afford it. We were going to try to grab on to $20 million per year on a federal grant. But we were going to have to phony up $400 million just to get that money.” It’s not just finances. Ives’ anger exploded when Rauner approved a law protecting undocumented immigrants and then later signed a measure expanding taxpayer-subsidized abortions. “I’m a social conservative and we’ve taken it on the chin, even under a Republican governor, we’ve not gotten what we wanted. The promises were not kept,” Ives said. Rauner defeated Ives by a razor thin margin, about 20,000 votes. After the primary, party leaders emphasized the need for unity. But Rauner and Ives did not do that. When asked if she did everything she could to help him win, Ives said: “That was never my job. I was very upfront with people.” Ives predicts Rauner will lose, but she says she will vote for him. . .McSweeney has been harsh critic of Governor Rauner, but he’s sticking with him in the race. “Our best hope is to reelect Rauner because he’s not going to opening promote tax increases. But I’d be a hypocrite if I said positive things about the first term. It’s been a fiasco across the board,” McSweeney said. Like Ives, the McSweeney fears Rauner could be doomed. But he sees a chance for the conservative movement to regroup. “If Bruce Rauner ends up losing we need to realize that we need to go back to our grassroots. We need to be inclusive. We need to be a positive party. We’ve got to stop calling people names and focus on an agenda that makes sense,” McSweeney said.)

I think we’re in a good spot,” he said in an interview in organization’s storefront headquarters. As for the Trump factor, Grogan said: “He helped coagulate people who are not on my side of the aisle. He gave them a rallying cry.”)

WHEATON RECORD
— Upcoming midterm election sparks conversation on campus – CHARLES HERMESMANN
http://www.wheatonrecord.com/news/upcoming-midterm-election-sparks-conversation-on-campus/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the election approaches, Wheaton political science faculty have taken particular interest in the Roskam vs. Casten race. Dr. Amy Black noted that the race has changed from “too close to call” to “leans Democratic” in recent articles and polls. “The momentum seems to be moving in Casten’s favor,” Black said. She predicts that many late voters will choose to vote against the incumbent. “Since voters typically know the person currently in office, those who are still ambivalent at the end are likely showing a tendency to choose the new alternative.” Dr. Bryan McGraw voiced his view that the midterm election was still too close to call: “I honestly don’t know,” he said. “I suspect it will come down to a relatively small number of votes, maybe less than 500, and it’s impossible to tell at that small of a margin.” While McGraw still sees the race as too close to call, he agrees that this race marks a change in Wheaton’s congressional district. “Regardless of who wins, it’s clear that the district is trending more centrist, which will have a constraining effect on the representative. And which means we will probably see competitive elections here for the foreseeable future.” Some Wheaton students, like senior political science major Emma Wen, will be voting for the first time in this year’s midterm election. “I believe strongly in fulfilling one’s civic duty to vote — it is a privilege and right which should not be taken lightly,” she said. Wen Upcoming midterm election sparks conversation on campus expects this year’s election to have a significant impact on the country as a whole: “I think the ultimate outcome of these midterms will be the decisive approval or disapproval of President Trump and the Republican Party by voters.” No matter the outcome of the 2018 midterm election, politicians and political pundits seem certain that it will have major effects on the country’s policies.)

Gringrich’s not protecting GAO employees like me means that he believes in “up-or-out,” namely, that non-veteran White male federal employees 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 are losers who should be gotten rid of.)

Many of my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were anti-Semitic. Many of the aforesaid did not want to supervise, work with, or work for the Jewish woman who I volunteered to work for in 1990 and continued to work for until she and my other Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)
