CBS2
— 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.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shaw said Trump demonstrated reasons he should be given another four years in the White House by voters, though he would like to see some of the rhetoric reduced. A lawyer with a lot of courtroom experience, Shaw said he would like to see Trump and Biden talk to the audience like lawyers appeal to a judge. “I felt like President Trump seemed to have a pretty good command of what his administration accomplished while he has been president,” Shaw said. “I don’t think Joe Biden offered a vision of what he would accomplish as a president.” . . . DeMonte said Wallace fed Biden softball questions while directing harder inquiries at Trump. She said Biden received a pass from Wallace when the issue of Biden’s son, Hunter, was raised by Trump. The president accused both Bidens of corruption in the younger Biden’s business dealings. “Joe Biden must be asked his response to the New York Post published report showing emails tying him to his son Hunter’s shady foreign business dealings,” DeMonte said in an email. “Joe Biden must be directly asked if he stands by his statement that he never discussed Hunter’s foreign business dealings.”)

I used the money that I earned doing the aforesaid to pay for the expenses that I incurred earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

GOPUSA
— The Disunited States Of Oppression – Michelle Malkin
https://www.gopusa.com/?p=96613
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is there any clearer sign of how privileged a society is than the disproportionate amount of time that society spends guilting citizens over how privileged they are? I’ll never forget the first time I encountered “critical race theory” and its overbearing adherents at my alma mater, Oberlin College, in the 1990s. Multicultural studies were all the rage. Higher education officials had torpedoed Western civilization curriculum requirements at prestigious universities nationwide. The ululations of the aggrieved reached a fever pitch as anti-white extremists demanded separate academic departments, dorms, graduation ceremonies and deans in the name of justice and equality. The entire spectacle was as self-indulgent as it was comical. Spoiled white limousine liberals’ children lectured me — a child of Filipino immigrants who came from a Third World country colonized by the Spanish, overtaken by Americans and occupied by the Japanese — for thinking and acting “white” because I opposed race-based affirmative action policies. A miserable feminist student castigated me for using the patriarchal term “exploit” (as in “exploiting an opportunity.”) Wealthy minority progressives — cloistered in their intolerant “safe spaces” on a campus full of entitled brats whose parents forked over $40,000 a year in tuition — whined about being systemically oppressed. The whiners whined all their way through their senior theses to secure their worthless degrees. A large portion of the whiners went on to graduate schools in advanced griping and grousing — and are now ensconced in the ivory tower of critical race theory babble, subsidized by tax dollars at public colleges and universities, venting from on high about how hopelessly downtrodden they are at the hands of the oppressors paying their cushy salaries. This toxic resentment has metastasized in academia and spread to the bowels of the federal bureaucracy.)

They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for 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, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

— The Corporate Takeover Of ‘Fact-Checking’ Is Just A Different Path To The Same Partisan Censorship Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. – Christopher Bedford (DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet despite a note in most of their “about” pages promising “to provide objective, data-driven information without political bias,” they aren’t really offering reporting. They’re offering propaganda. A mishmash of conservative political operatives, public relations professionals and think tanks act as “clients” for the sites, paying freelancers to prop up Republican candidates and knock down Democratic competitors. The writers don’t adopt traditional best practices such as, say, calling Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Sara Gideon of Maine for comment when accusing her of being a hypocrite. Sometimes they’re even instructed on precisely what to say by an article’s subject.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Protests to abolish university police continued Monday evening at Northwestern University and areas near the campus in north suburban Evanston. Over the weekend, protestors demanded the removal of the Northwestern University Police Department. President and Professor Morton Schapiro responded to the community Monday afternoon in an email, stating that it would not abolish NUPD. “We, as a University, recognize the many injustices faced by Black and other marginalized groups. We also acknowledge that the policing and criminal justice system in our country is too often stacked against those same communities. Your concerns are valid and necessary, and we encourage and, in fact, rely on your active engagement with us to make your school and our society equitable and safe for everyone. That said, while the University has every intention to continue improving NUPD, we have absolutely no intention to abolish it,” Schapiro wrote.)

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC, UNACCEPTABLE MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA COVER-UP: Northwestern Students Burn and Vandalize School Property at Anti-Police Protests – Chrissy Clark (DIERSEN: How soon will the Democrats vandalize, loot, riot, and burn down your municipality? Democrat candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that if you elect them, they will stop Democrats from vandalizing, looting, rioting, and burning things down.)
https://freebeacon.com/campus/northwestern-students-burn-and-vandalize-school-property-at-anti-police-protests/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students at Northwestern University vandalized and burned school property on the sixth consecutive night of anti-police protests. Led by the anti-police group “NU Community Not Cops,” students tore down a sign that read “We’re N This Together,” burned it, and placed the charred remains of the sign at the feet of police officers guarding the home of Northwestern president Morton Schapiro. They also vandalized the school’s iconic Weber Arch, during a protest purportedly aimed at abolishing the campus police department. Pictures taken by NU Community Not Cops document the destruction, which according to Northwestern’s student newspaper began at 11:51 p.m. on Saturday. Outside of the Northwestern University police department, students wrote “abolition is the solution” and “Black Lives Matter.” Written on a university sign were the letters “ACAB,” which stands for All Cops Are Bastards. Other graffiti included the words “F— UCPD,” in reference to the nearby University of Chicago police department. Following the death of George Floyd, Schapiro penned a letter to the Northwestern student body in which he committed to “reviewing the operations of Northwestern’s police department.” “We will reexamine all of NUPD’s approaches and function, including its use of force policy … its bias-free policing policy,” and “reinforce annual training on de-escalation,” Schapiro said. But students around the country have gone further, protesting the very existence of campus police departments. At the University of Pennsylvania, students and professors called on the school to disarm police officers and eliminate the university’s crime alert system. Johns Hopkins University announced it would delay the development of a campus police department for at least two years in the wake of student protests. And when the University of Chicago refused to defund its police department, students vowed to protest the decision for at least a year. Likewise, the Northwestern vandals claimed their actions were a proportionate response to “racial capitalism,” in which police supposedly play a central role. “If you think vandalism is counterproductive to our mission. Under a system of racial capitalism, in which whiteness itself is capital,” NU Community Not Cops tweeted. “We are taking a stance against that by not valuing property over the lives of our people. Our campaign has not caused any harm. Police have.”)

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2020/10/20/opinion-religious-bigotry-display-barrett-hearings/3711942001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And yet around the world religious minorities and those whose views don’t conform to prevailing orthodoxies face double standards when getting an education and applying for work. These double standards don’t appear overnight, however. Attacks on religious freedom progress in four distinct stages: Social marginalization, Economic discrimination, Legal (including criminal penalties), Violence, either by vigilantes or the state . . . Still, in recent years, the U.S. has seen the rapid spread of intolerance towards those who hold traditional religious beliefs, especially on life, sexual orientation and gender identity. While the U.S. still has robust legal prohibitions on religious discrimination, it has moved rapidly from the first stage of attack (social marginalization) to economic discrimination. Not only is there widespread censorship of socially conservative viewpoints on social media, there is virulent hostility in education. According to one conservative student quoted in an opinion piece for The Hill, teachers ”seek to silence us, to punish us, which deliberately lowers our GPA, which adversely affects the chances of us getting into college and, therefore, a better job and a better life.”)

— Firing a Federal Employee Easier and Quicker – Ralph R. Smith (DIERSEN: Between 1993 and 1997, GAO “offered” early retirement to its employees, including me, who had 25 or more years of federal service. Since 1990, GAO had assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators. In 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” The following frustrated their efforts to force me to take their “offer” sooner: a) in 1997, I became a Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT, b) in 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and c) in 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager. Previously, a) in 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, b) in 1981, I had become a licensed CPA and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, c) in 1980, I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) in 1979, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and e) in 1976, I had earned an MBA from DePaul. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I had worked for IRS for 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.)

Davis also criticized Trump’s behavior during his first debate with former Vice President Joe Biden, saying “it makes it more difficult” as Davis fights to retain his seat.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She doesn’t really mention living in Texas and Chicago before moving to the district, which lines the state’s northwest border with Iowa, a point Bustos seizes on in her latest ad: “Who is the real Esther Joy King? She just moved from Chicago to run for Congress.” Before running for office, King headed a social media marketing company called 364.Social, a company we couldn’t find online. King says that’s because it was folded into another marketing firm that she helped start: GRP21, which also has next-to-no presence online. A few years ago, King also billed herself as founder of Flashbulb Media — another company that appears to be non-existent. King doesn’t mention those companies on her LinkedIn page — she said she just chose not to — and didn’t supply any information about them. She told Playbook she “no longer has any ownership interest” in Flashbulb or GRP21.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NEWS FAKERY EXCLUSIVE: As local news dies, a pay-for-play network rises in its place — and its roots are in Illinois: The New York Times exposes Chicago-area businessman Brian Timpone’s media empire running websites across the country and in Illinois, including the “North Cook News,” which appear as news sites. In fact, the Times says Republican operatives pay Timpone’s company to order up stories they dictate to reporters. Jeanne Ives has paid Timpone $55,000 and received favorable stories in return, according to the Times. When asked if she had paid companies for pay-for-play news stories, she said: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Also linked to Timpone’s companies: conservative talk show host Dan Proft and John Tillman, an activist who once led the Illinois Opportunity Project and who is connected to groups that have paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to underwrite Timpone’s “news” operation. … How it works: “Editors for Mr. Timpone’s network assign work to freelancers dotted around the United States and abroad, often paying $3 to $36 per job. The assignments typically come with precise instructions on whom to interview and what to write, according to the internal correspondence. In some cases, those instructions are written by the network’s clients, who are sometimes the subjects of the articles.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jeanne Ives, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in Illinois, has had a direct financial relationship with the operation. Ms. Ives has paid Mr. Timpone’s companies $55,000 over the past three years, according to state and federal records. During that time, the Illinois sites have published overwhelmingly positive coverage of her, including running some of her news releases verbatim. In an interview, she said her payments were to create her website and monitor her Wikipedia page. One $14,342 payment included the note “Advertising-newspaper.” Ms. Ives initially could not explain why. She later called back to say Mr. Timpone had bought Facebook ads for her. Asked if she was paying for positive coverage, she replied: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Ms. Ives is listed as a “story watcher.” She said she did not know why.)
