POLITICO ILLINOIS
— HRO upheaval and a GOP feud – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Disgustingly, outrageously, tragically, and ever-increasingly, Illinois Republicans first learn from Democrat news sources like Capitol Fax and Politico Illinois what Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders are saying and doing. Far too often, it looks like IRP leaders are taking direction from Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout to keep Illinois Republicans including Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails “out of the loop.”) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/22/hro-upheaval-and-a-gop-feud-newman-hits-a-roadblock-meister-wants-a-rematch-427112
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After losing six House seats in the 2018 general election, the House Republican Organization is reorganizing its leadership team and ramping up fundraising. Political Director Joe Woodward, a confidante and friend to House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, is out, according to a memo Durkin and new HRO Chair Tony McCombie sent Saturday to caucus members and obtained by POLITICO. Woodward is moving to the private sector, and HRO has hired Jayme Odom with the new title: executive director. “We’re bringing in additional fundraisers and plan to be more aggressive with members on their own fundraising with the organization,” Durkin told POLITICO. The changes come after re-evaluating the 2018 losses. “When you have a multi-billionaire writing checks, it’s difficult,” Durkin said, referring, of course, to Gov. J.B. Pritzker‘s backing of so many Dem candidates. “We have to be more self-sufficient.” GOP Rep. Mark Batinick (97th) says the GOP caucus has done “much introspection” on its campaign strategy leading up to 2020. “Only through a thorough self-examination can we fully improve. Not only is it OK to question everything, it’s what any organization should do from time to time,” he told POLITICO. Republican campaign coffers remain a fraction of their Democratic counterparts. The HRO, which has a fundraiser planned April 29, has $38,000 cash on hand, compared to the Democratic Majority’s $3.4 million. Durkin, meanwhile, has $900,000 on hand while House Speaker Mike Madigan sits on $7.4 million. Odom, HRO’s new executive director, meanwhile, is a familiar player in Illinois politics. She previously was chief of staff for the Illinois Lottery during Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration. During that time, a state investigation found Odom failed to disclose her connection to lobbyists for a company vying for a lucrative lottery contract. Odom then left for Ohio, where she helped manage Jim Renacci’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign last year. Odom also worked as executive director for the Illinois Republican Party from 2013-2015. GOP drama part 2: Some GOP lawmakers are criticizing that political operative David Walsh was paid for consulting for Citizens for Durkin and for Majority Strategies — a national firm that also does political mailings for the HRO. The payments to Walsh by Majority Strategies were not publicly disclosed, according to a WCIA report last week. Durkin says Walsh was paid out of his campaign fund — not by HRO — and that Walsh’s work with Majority Strategies “is independent” of any work with HRO. One downstate Republican, per an interview with POLITICO, is hoping for an investigation to clear up the murkiness. And state Rep. Dave McSweeney, also in an interview, accused Durkin of paying “his buddy” Walsh instead of putting money toward House races. He even called on Durkin to step down. GOP drama part 3: Yep, there’s a feud between McSweeney and Durkin that goes beyond campaign cash. Last week, the House GOP leader pulled McSweeney’s communications aide after McSweeney spoke out against Rep. Steve Reick for a racially tinged comment about a bill requiring company boards to diversify. Reick later apologized. McSweeney paid to promote a tweet condemning Reick’s comment. In a statement to POLITICO, Durkin said: “This is an internal caucus matter. I will continue working to move the Republican Party and House Republican caucus forward in Illinois but will not tolerate public attacks on fellow members.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Case Against Early Retirement Many people dream of leaving the office as soon as they can. But the evidence suggests a lot of downsides. It may be time to rethink those dreams. – Richard W. Johnson (DIERSEN: I should write a book about early retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-early-retirement-11555899000
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people look forward to retirement, a reward for decades of hard work. But like many other pleasures, it may be bad for your health. It may even kill you. How can that be? How can working longer be good for your health? After all, many people dream of—and plan for—retiring early. Strenuous, stressful work can wear people down and damage their health. On the other hand, retirees can relax and reinvigorate themselves. They have time to follow their passions and pursue activities that enrich their lives. But in our rush to leave the office, we don’t realize that retirement also has a downside, especially over the long term. Many retirees indulge in unhealthy behaviors. They become sedentary and watch too much television. They eat too much. They drink too much. They smoke too much. Without the purpose of fulfilling work, retirees can feel adrift and become depressed. Without the camaraderie of their co-workers, retirees risk becoming socially isolated. Without the intellectual stimulation that work can provide, retirement can accelerate cognitive decline.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten has high praise for fellow freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal resolution. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Which Republican candidate is going to run against and defeat Casten? What are the following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican county and township organization officers?) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

— Internet age really DOES mean we get bored more easily and have shorter attention spans, study finds. Our need to keep up to date is beginning to overwhelm our brains, experts say.

The findings don’t necessarily mean our individual attention spans are shorter. – TIM COLLINS (DIERSEN: One of the many reasons why people read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is that virtually all the articles that are linked in the emails are less than 12 hours old.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump sanctuary city idea could help migrants stay in U.S. – AP (DIERSEN: Yes, but because illegals lack education, lack job skills, lack work experience, have serious financial problems, have serious health problems, and/or do not speak English, sanctuary cities might very well go bankrupt a) teaching their residents Spanish and b) providing illegals with housing, food, clothing, education, transportation, job skills, etc. before illegals become Democrat voters. Of course, sanctuary cites would have to require all their residents to speak, read, and write Spanish. Democrats in sanctuary cities want illegals to help Democrats get rid of Republicans once and for all. Will Democrats let Republicans stay in sanctuary cities a) if they give money to Democrats, b) if they learn to speak, read, and write Spanish, and/or b) if they give their jobs to illegals?)

A similar unit on a higher floor is currently listed for sale at $199,900 (https://www.urbanrealestate.com/chicago/New-Eastside/400-E-Randolph/Studio).

— Remember Murietta? Dumping unvetted migrants into the cities of political foes was done by Obama first – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: What municipality, township, and county do you live in? What would the elected officials in your municipality, in your township, and/or in your county say if they were asked if they would allow your municipality, your township, and/or your county to accept illegals, and if so how many? FIRST, ELECTED OFFICIALS OF MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, AND COUNTIES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO ALLOW THEIR MUNICIPALITIES, TOWNSHIPS, OR COUNTIES TO ACCEPT ILLEGALS. I would sue any Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County elected official who voted for Wheaton, Milton Township, and/or DuPage County to accept illegals. Of course, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs on city councils like Wheaton, township boards like Milton, and on county boards like DuPage have every right to try and get referendums passed to accept illegals.) 
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/remember_murietta_dumping_unvetted_migrants_into_the_cities_of_political_foes_was_done_by_obama_first.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, when the migrant surge of that year brought tens of thousands of “unaccompanied children” and “moms and kids,” into the Rio Grande Valley, overwhelming the Texas processing facilities, President Obama inexplicably targeted small and mid-sized cities (same as the Trump officials’ emails) as their next destination of choice. And instead of talking about it, they really did try to bus the unvetted migrants into small cities such as Murietta, California; Yuma, Arizona; and a conservative area of New Mexico, bringing crime, disease, and a high need for social services, without consulting those communities. The residents protested, and the Obama administration declared them ‘racist’ in a bid to scare them into line. I was on the ground at Murietta during those protests when I was an editorial writer at Investor’s Business Daily, and I spoke to the citizens of that city, who were not only far from racist, but actually multiracial themselves. They told me this: Asked why the rebellion was centered in Murrieta and not elsewhere, the residents all had one answer: they were Reagan Country, and it was on their soil that the Reagan revolution was lit in 1978.)

https://japantoday.com/category/national/retiring-late-as-pensions-underwhelm-more-japanese-opt-to-prolong-employment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yasuhiro Furuse could have retired two years ago, but he wasn’t entirely happy with his pension income and had to put any such thoughts to bed. It was just as well for Furuse’s employer Orix Corp, a financial services group, which would have struggled to find a replacement, with Japan’s jobless rate at 26-year lows. This win-win arrangement, increasingly common in Japan, highlights a structural and policy challenge facing the world’s third-biggest economy. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government is considering raising the retirement age to 70 or 75 from 65 now, to ease pension burdens as well as a labor crunch. But a more durable longer term solution, analysts say, is for Japan to relax its strict controls on foreign workers. “I have no choice but to work,” said Furuse, 62, a senior adviser at Orix’s corporate business headquarters. “I appreciate that I could keep working, which makes me better off than living on pension and savings. Besides, I want to do something to contribute to society.” Japan’s population is among the oldest on the planet and has one of the longest lifespans, putting pressure on its pension system. The old-age dependency ratio — or the numbers of elderly against those of working age — is the highest in the OECD. The situation is being compounded by Japan’s deep-seated reluctance to fully open its gates to foreign workers, leaving many companies to rely on the old guard to overcome severe labour shortages.)

Bruce Rauner (Republican) $36 million FOR:2014 (won) and 2018 (lost) gubernatorial campaigns 2. Jim Durkin (Republican) $11 million FOR:2016 (won, unopposed) and 2018 (won) Illinois House races 3.

https://mynorthwest.com/1334678/dori-bill-and-melinda-gates-poll/?
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the poll, 53 percent of people the PR firm talked to said that we are not spending enough on homelessness “when they learned that homelessness increased by nine percent [sic] between 2014-17, while spending on social services had only increased by 2.4 percent.” That is the purest definition of a push-poll question — where you phrase a question a certain way to get a desired result. And they only got it barely above 50 percent even with that biased phrasing. What the question doesn’t tell you is that the reason homelessness has increased by 10 percent is because people have moved from all over this country, because they’ve heard this is the best region in America to be an addict.)

— GOP: Teacher Pay Hike = Property Tax Hike – Nick Gale
http://www.wlsam.com/2019/04/11/gop-teacher-pay-hike-property-tax-hike/
— Some Georgetown students want to pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves who made the school possible (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you should pay in reparations, and especially if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and/or a draft avoider. How much in reparations will the Democrats want you to pay?)
http://www.wlsam.com/news/some-georgetown-students-want-to-pay-reparations-to-the-descendants-of-the-slaves-who-made-the-school-possible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group known as the GU272 Advocacy Team has pushed through student government a bill that would create a new $27.20 fee every semester for all Georgetown undergraduates. The fee would go toward a reconciliation fund, which would be overseen by a board of students and descendants of the 272 slaves sold in 1838. They estimate the fund would generate more than $400,000 a year and would “be allocated for charitable purposes directly benefiting the descendants of the GU272 and other persons once enslaved by the Maryland Jesuits,” according to the bill.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Illinois seems to creep toward full legalization of marijuana, it might be useful to consider some of the experiences of states where it already has been legalized. Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use in 2012. Oregon followed suit in 2014. A marketing firm, DHM Research, surveyed users in those three states. The results were reported in a national story, which ran earlier in The Daily Journal. Here’s what to expect: • If marijuana is legalized, use will increase. Those who use will up their consumption, in some cases moving from weekend recreation to every day. Some 44 percent of the legal consumers will use marijuana every day. • It is a male thing. Sixty percent of the users are men. If you have concerns about the growing inequity of men moving on to and graduating from college, this might give you pause. • Finally, and most disturbing, about one in every four users will go to work high or get high at work. We only can hope these people are not driving trucks, flying airplanes or designing bridges. There is a solid social trend toward legalization. Historically, society rotates those social ills it forgives and those it punishes severely. States, too, greedily eye the taxes they might collect to feed their bureaucracies. As we legalize, we also must regulate with common sense. There might be, perhaps, no penalty at all for smoking marijuana in your home. Yet if you choose to, say, jeopardize someone else’s life by being irresponsible, jail time would be more than appropriate.)

PJ MEDIA
— Why Are 2020 Democrats Embracing Slavery Reparations? – MATT MARGOLIS (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, early retirement, etc. to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. AA is reparations. Who has paid the price of AA? Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operative, or their dupes have paid the price of AA in any significant way. If I had been a minority or a female, the federal government would have promoted me into its SES long before I was 40 years old. However, because I am White, male, non-veteran, someone who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and someone who became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they took many adverse actions against me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://pjmedia.com/trending/why-are-2020-democrats-embracing-slavery-reparations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Spoiler alert, Senator Booker: It won’t solve any problems. It won’t satisfy anyone. What exactly do proponents of slavery reparations believe that they will do that affirmative action policies in education, employment, awarding of government contracts, etc., etc. couldn’t? If the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land (despite his radicalism and lack of qualifications) wasn’t proof that we, as a nation, have moved far beyond the days of slavery, then what will? A check? For how much? Will we finally be able to put an end to affirmative action policies? Of course not, that’s not the point.)
