The numbers are double those of the last presidential election. – Rachel Hinton

— The high cost of systemic racism in the U.S. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the many millions of dollars that my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted on me so that they could give preference to my coworkers and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. They wasted what I learned a) working for GAO 1980-1997, b) working for IRS 1971-1980, c) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, g) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and h) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. In 1971, I would have become an Oldsmobile employee if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer because of EEOC. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Evanston gathering turns violent overnight, police say – Jesse Kirsch (DIERSEN: How prepared are the police in your municipality for Democrat vandalism, Democrat looting, Democrat rioting, and Democrat arson?)
https://abc7chicago.com/evanston-gathering-turns-violent-overnight/7540524/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A gathering that included some Northwestern University students turned violent in Evanston overnight Sunday. Some Whole Foods windows were boarded up Sunday morning after a gathering in downtown Evanston became violent, according to police. Police said an unruly crowd began throwing bricks and fireworks at officers. There were windows broken and other property damage in the city’s downtown shortly before midnight Saturday. Several officers were treated for minor injuries. Other police departments from neighboring communities were called in to help restore order. It is unclear what the students were protesting last night. Recently, a student group has been demanding that the Northwestern University cut ties with campus police. University President Morton Schapiro wrote a letter to the community after an earlier incident acknowledging the concerns of injustice, but he also made it clear the school has no intention of dissolving its police department. In a letter last week, Schapiro highlighted a new safety oversight board that will be made up of faculty, staff and students.)

In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I suffered a $20,157/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My critics opponents shouted that was a) proof that IRS had overpaid me, b) proof that I had changed careers, and c) proof that the experience that I had gained by working for IRS almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year, was worthless. In fact, much of what I did for IRS as a Revenue Officer was similar to what I would do for GAO as an Analyst, including financial investigation; interviewing; gathering, summarizing, and analyzing data; writing reports; and making recommendations. My Democrat IRS superiors had made very clear that they would never promote me beyond GS-12. They had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They had dismissed and belittled the fact that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump offered perhaps his most scathing attacks on members of his own party who have criticized him publicly – referred to as ‘RINOs’, short for Republicans in Name Only – amid a deepening divide between the president and Republican lawmakers as his reelection prospects have become increasingly grim. At a rally in Arizona on Wednesday, Trump claimed he is not only running against former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democratic party, but the “left wing mob,” the “big-tech giants” and “the RINOs.” Just in the last few months, Trump has used the term ‘RINO’ to describe Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), as well as Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, former House Speaker Paul Ryan, former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and former Rep. Tom Ridge. Trump has also used the term to refer to former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove, the members of The Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans, Republican governors who criticized his handling of coronavirus and any Republican voters who do not approve of his job performance. Trump has increasingly incorporated RINOs into his stump speech in recent months as part of his “drain the swamp” narrative, calling them “sickos” and declaring they are “worse than the Democrats.” He took his denunciations one step further on Wednesday, stating he prefers leftists to RINOs, who he called the “lowest form of human life,” and even speculating that audio difficulties at his rally were caused by one: “It’s probably a RINO operating the thing.” Trump’s increased focus on RINOs comes as sitting Republican officials have shown an increasing willingness to break with him publicly.)

— DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Launches Internal Probe After Staff Are Seen Dining Inside Restaurant, Against Governor’s Orders – Charlie De Mar
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/10/27/dupage-county-sheriffs-indoor-dining-investigation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CBS 2 started asking questions, and it sparked an internal investigation within the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has obtained the photos that have the department asking its own why they may have been eating inside a local restaurant – despite Gov. JB Pritzker’s orders not to. Photos taken in front of the Verdict Restaurant in Wheaton were sent to CBS 2 this week. They show a DuPage County Sheriff’s squad car, along with the department’s community service volunteer, parked in front of the restaurant. “We are right across from the courthouse, so the 99 percent of the people that are telling us to stay open work for the county,” said Verdict Restaurant owner Anna Sarantopoulos. Sarantopoulous chose to keep serving inside despite the governor’s order to stop, and she acknowledges the DuPage County Sheriff’s personnel sat inside this week. The department is only about a mile from the restaurant. “I can’t babysit a law enforcement officer. Do you know what I mean?” Sarantopoulos said. “They came in to support the Verdict. You know what I mean? I’m not the one to say, ‘Oh I can serve everybody else in the community but I can’t serve you.’ That’s not my place.” Late Monday, Sarantopoulous received a non-compliance notice from the DuPage County Health Department. She was threatened with a misdemeanor if the struggling restaurant continues to serve inside. “Our question is why us and not all the other the surrounding restaurants in the area?” Sarantopoulos said. “We’re trying to keep our staff. We’re trying to keep all our employees. We’re trying to pay the rent.” The DuPage County Sheriff’s Department said after we asked about the photos, an internal investigation started. “They have a boss. They have their own bosses. If the bosses wanted to tell them, ‘Do not go into any of the local restaurants,’ then they should have,” Sarantopoulos said. “Their boss should have reiterated and said, ‘Hey guys, be careful where you go eat.’ But not me. Not my place.” The DuPage County Health Department said they have contacted 13 restaurants in the area for indoor dining complaints.)

— Official On Why He Resigned From Federal Salary Council (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government demanded “political loyalty.” They got rid of their employees who were not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. The planks in the Democrat Party platform that they demanded the most loyalty to were the ones that called for the federal government to give preference to its employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/official-why-he-resigned-federal-salary-council#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government here in Washington and around the country is run by civil servants – people who provide consistency, deep expertise, even as administrations change. The idea is that politicians and their political appointees may come and go, but thousands of lawyers and scientists and other specialists – they stay put. Well, a new executive order issued by President Trump puts tens of thousands of those jobs at risk, prompting our next guest to resign in protest, writing that Trump’s order is, quote, “nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the president or, failing that, to enable their removal with little, if any, due process,” end quote. Those are the words of Ron Sanders. He resigned yesterday as chair of the Federal Salary Council, and he joins us now.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What do you say to those who blame “Republican leaders” for the success that Democrats have had in destroying America’s cities? My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated from what is now Germany to Chicago in 1844. They worked in a brick factory for 10 years and then homesteaded a farm in Crete.
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-10-27/column-why-do-republican-leaders-hate-cities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Stadtluft macht frei” — “city air makes you free” — is a German phrase dating back to the Middle Ages. Legally, it described a rule that if a serf lived in a city for a year and a day, his feudal master could no longer claim him. But the term came to mean more than simply a way of escaping feudal bondage. Cities have long been where the poor and the enterprising go to find opportunity and prosperity, to sculpt their lives amid the economic dynamism that conservatives are supposed to celebrate. Cities are where most immigrants go to pursue the American dream. And it’s not just immigrants from other countries. A good rule of thumb for determining whether a state is trending “red” or “blue” is to look and see if young people are moving in or out.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/26/jared-kushner-criticized-saying-black-people-need-want-successful/6043088002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kushner’s implication that Black Americans lack a drive to succeed and to address the problems facing their community drew criticism that he is blind to his own privilege and that his own success is attributable more to his family’s wealth than his own efforts. “Born on third base, thinks he hit a triple. Few in US history have been given as much wealth or power without having to earn a thing as Jared Kushner,” tweeted Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va. “His father-in-law gave him the position he is failing at miserably, with deadly consequences. We will remember his casual racism.” “Jared Kushner is the face of white privilege and nepotism. He doesn’t want to change our racist, broken system because he benefits from it. He’s the last person that should be lecturing the Black community on the value of ‘hard work,'” said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Northern Illinois is a different story, Murphy acknowledges, saying GOP candidates there “are in their toughest fight” trying to dance around supporting an unpopular president (at least in Illinois) while sticking to their Republican values. It’s a delicate dance. Local Republicans are leery of rejecting Trump outright, for fear of alienating GOP voters. Instead they appeal to suburban voters’ independent streak — reminding them that it’s OK to vote one way at the top of the ticket and Republican down below. Republican state Rep. Grant Wehrli is in the fight of his political life in the 41st House District partly because he has refused to endorse Trump. Meanwhile, Democrats have poured money into challenger Janet Yang Rohr’s race, making it one of the most competitive and expensive statehouse races this cycle. . .Republican Senate candidate Mark Curran is taking his campaign to the streets — literally. He’s “walking for positive change.” Today, he’ll walk from Lake Michigan to Oak Park, along Madison Avenue. Wednesday, he plans to walk from Lake Cook Road and to Chicago along Milwaukee Avenue. And Friday, he’s walking from Howard to Beverly along Western Avenue. – Shia Kapos

They used those cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines. To get rid of me, they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

COEUR D’ALENE PRESS
— More info always good for voters – BRENT REGAN (DIERSEN: Questions to ask candidates: If elected, would you encourage or discourage the following: reparations, BLM, LGBTQ, dependency on government, dependency on charity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more gun controls, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination?)
https://cdapress.com/news/2020/oct/24/c1-my-turn-regan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To make an informed decision at the ballot box in local government elections, the voter must make an additional effort to determine the candidates’ suitability for a particular office. It has been argued that in these local government elections, political parties should stand down and not actively promote any candidate on the basis of party affiliation alone. Unfortunately this is not the case. Idaho Democrat Party Chair Evangeline Beechler said during a recorded panel discussion: “When you get into non-partisan politics, right, you can kind of hide … so a lot of times we can get a lot of progressive liberals in those city council seats.” “Hide?” What are they trying to hide? In contrast, the Republican Party believes in transparency. Our Platform clearly describes our positions on public policy and our candidates are proud to identify their party affiliation. Our Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) is comprised of nearly 70 Precinct Committeemen from every part of our county. Each PC serves about 1,500 registered voters. An important part of the KCRCC’s mission is to assist the voters in evaluating the candidates by providing literature, forums, festivals and other resources. Precinct committeemen frequently field inquiries about candidates. In order to be consistent and transparent, our committee tasked our Elections Standing Committee with developing a questionnaire for all candidates, regardless of party. Since the “non-partisan” races do not use party affiliation, it is reasonable to inquire directly about the candidate’s positions on various policies and the candidates should be forthcoming with their views so that the voter can make an informed decision. To accomplish this, the Elections Committee developed a questionnaire which was then forwarded to the candidates. The Elections Committee compiled the results and presented their report to the KCRCC. The candidates also were given the opportunity to present themselves directly to the KCRCC and answer questions. Finally, the KCRCC voted on the candidates and issues they would recommend to the voters. In the interest of transparency, the metrics of the evaluation were posted on our website, kootenaigop.org, so that anyone could see who the KCRCC recommends and why they are recommended. This system is neither original nor unique as many organizations evaluate candidates to uncover information that would be of interest to their members. It is reasonable that the KCRCC would seek answers from candidates on topics that would be of interest to Kootenai County voters. In Kootenai County, the Republican Party has consistently offered quality candidates that are attractive to the majority of voters. Our volunteer Precinct Committeemen are active in their communities and represent all parts of Kootenai County, from city to country and from farm to factory. Committeemen work tirelessly to advance the political debate and to help inform the voters. I am immensely proud of these dedicated volunteers and humbled that they have chosen me to be their Chairman. You are invited to visit our website, kootenaigop.org , for additional information.)

https://wdet.org/posts/2020/06/10/89705-angry-venting-is-not-the-answer-says-aggression-expert/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In response to feeling threatened – whether the threat is real or imagined – Bushman says that people often resort to displaced aggression when either the target that provoked them is not available or they fear retaliation from that target. But, unlike Sigmund Freud’s concept of venting as a positive tool that improves an individual’s psychological state, Bushman says that venting is actually one of the worse options to defuse the feeling of anger and aggression.)

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/masked-unmasked-violence-new-york-regulations-psychology-719210
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Displaced aggression now latches on to the “misbehaving other”. This latching on is guided by an ideological dualism between libertarians, who think we should let survival of the fittest run its course in a bid for herd immunity, and paternalists who seeks to lock us all down in our homes. Never mind that this either/or logic ignores the “middle way” of testing, tracing and targeted isolation. This ideological dualism latches on to the identity markers of us and them, and directs the anger on to the member who is misbehaving and needs to be corrected, and if words fail, with force.)

The release did not offer further details, other than to say the decision had been made Friday night. Rumors of the impending termination had spread Friday evening, according to a community source who said a city official had called to share the news.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/10/with_all_the_nazi_talk_in_this_election_who_were_the_nazis.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Nazis were a self-proclaimed socialist movement that called for the end of capitalism, abolishment of non-labor income (interest and finance), and proposed an all-powerful central authority to regulate the market. Racial identity politics was used to identify an oppressor class (Jews), that embodied both the evil nature of capitalism and the anti-German nature of communism. Strong nationalistic pride was a core pitch to the people to justify a stronger central authority. The party used militant radical socialist activists to harass businesses and political enemies with acts of violence.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: A supporter of Republican Peter Breen is headed to court today to file a lawsuit against Breen’s opponent, Democratic Rep. Terra Costa Howard. Salvatore Falbo claims Costa Howard concealed $160,000 in contributions from the Democratic Party of Illinois State Committee, which is funded by party leader Michael Madigan. The filing obtained by Playbook says Costa Howard claimed instead the funds were from a federal committee, which Madigan isn’t connected to. The filing ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-52e1-d987-ab7f-d6f70cd40000 ) also states Costa Howard “did not report over $5,000 of in-kind campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood Illinois Action PAC.”… Breen and Costa Howard are in a fierce rematch for the 48th House District. Last week, Costa Howard filed a complaint claiming Breen was the one not complying with campaign disclosure laws. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: I first leaned of this from Shia Kapos’ email. My critics/opponents who lead the Milton Township Republican Organization and Milton Township do not want anyone to first learn of anything from GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. They do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails. They want everyone to spend all their time on Facebook.)

After my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of me in 1997, they gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)
https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2020/10/23/492209/public-work-provides-economic-security-black-families-communities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public sector work has been a rare source of opportunity and security for African Americans in the U.S. economy for generations. Employment with numerous federal, state, and local government agencies throughout the 20th century not only offered a leg up to millions of Black families, but also became so identified with a path to the middle class that they hold cultural significance to many Black Americans. Government jobs alone, obviously, cannot solve structural racism. But in an economy where structural racism denies Black workers economic opportunities and economic security—which has amplified the racial wealth gap throughout U.S. history and today—public work has a long tradition of benefiting many Black families who serve their communities. Whether in the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which has a legacy of anti-racist hiring dating back to Reconstruction; the military, which led the public and private sector in integration; the federal civil service; or state and local governments, public sector jobs have offered a refuge from employment discrimination all too common in the private sector. Today, nearly 1 in 5 Black workers are employed in the public sector.)
