ILLINOIS VALLEY TIMES
— McGlasson says Long is latest target of GOP cleansing campaign – W.J. Kennedy
https://illinoisvalleytimes.com/stories/511571904-mcglasson-says-long-is-latest-target-of-gop-cleansing-campaign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John McGlasson, central committeeman for Illinois’ 16th Congressional District believes the Republican Party is attempting to torpedo the re-election of Rep. Jerry Long (R-Streator) in a campaign to rid the party of anyone not in lockstep with Gov. Bruce Rauner. “[The Illinois GOP] targeted me and three others in our run for Central Committee (last spring),” McGlasson told the Illinois Valley Times. “I saw what dirty tricks they can play. Bob Winchester knows this too.” Sen. Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) ran against Winchester in the race for Republican State Central Committeeman in the15th Congressional District. The Republican Party declared Rose the winner after tallying votes by acclamation and not individually, a procedure that counters both Illinois Election Code and party rules, according to the Prairie State Wire. Winchester challenged the results, but the case is still languishing in U.S. district court. Despite being targeted by the party, McGlasson, Mark Shaw in the 10th district, and Fred Floreth in the 13th district all won their races for Central Committee. Shaw went on to cut a deal with the party and is now state co-chair. Long doesn’t talk the “same line” as Rauner, who trails Democrat J.B. Pritzker by double digits in the polls, McGlasson said. “It’s my opinion that Rauner believes the only way he can win this thing is to have everyone talking the same line and get only those targeted votes to come out,” he said. Rauner, McGlasson added, isn’t looking for a big turnout out but a select one. “He has to be hoping for a big snowstorm on election day,” he said. The Republican party recently dropped support for Long, including funding from the House Republican Organization (HRO), after it was “made aware of allegations into Rep. Long’s behavior,” according to a statement by House Republican Leader Jim Durkin. The accuser, an HRO employee, accused Long of harassment. Long quickly released a statement saying he was only guilty of having a different perspective on HRO’s level of support for his race and that he will continue campaigning at a grassroots level. “This is not sexual harassment of any kind but merely a difference of opinion on the lack of support by the Republican Party that goes back several months,” Long said. “At this time I have no intention on pulling out of the race because this just proves that I’m not a part of the ‘Good Ole Boys’ club.” Long is expected to release another statement after consulting with his lawyers, a source said. McGlasson and local Republican leaders in the 76th district recently met and reaffirmed their support for Long. “It’s unimaginable to me that they (GOP) would cede such a hard-won seat,” McGlasson said. In 2016, Long defeated Andy Skoog (D-Utica) by 607 votes. The Democrats had held the seat for decades. On Nov. 6, he faces off against Democrat Lance Yednock of Ottawa.)

— DuPage County Election Commission sued for moving election district boundaries – JOHN KRAFT
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/09/dupage-county-election-commission-sued-for-moving-election-district-boundaries/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Complaint has been filed against the DuPage County Election Commission alleging the commission moved boundaries of one precinct and two legislative districts without proper authority to move the boundaries. It involved moving certain properties out of Naperville Township Precinct #25, the 49th Representative District, and the 25th Legislative District. Those properties were moved, without authority into Naperville Township Precinct #6, the 41st Representative District, and the 21st Legislative District. It seeks to have the commission reverse its move and ensure that residents of certain real estate within the county vote in the legislative districts that they are actually part of, based on the most recent approved map. It asks the Court to order the commission to distribute the correct ballots to the properties in question, and order the commission to refrain from delivering the wrong ballot to those properties, and complains of a violation of voter’s rights. Complaint (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Verified-Complaint-for-Injunction-FILED-4848-7192-1011.pdf) Exhibits (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Exhibits-A-F-FILED.pdf) Candidate and incumbent State Representative Grant Wehrli is the Plaintiff.

BOSTON HERALD
— Kavanaugh allegation can’t be taken back – Rich Lowry
http://www.bostonherald.com/opinion/op_ed/2018/09/kavanaugh_allegation_can_t_be_taken_back
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh, who the day before yesterday was an unimpeachable pillar of the legal establishment, stands accused of a heinous offense that is almost impossible to definitively rebut. Even if he is completely innocent of the charge that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl at a high school party 36 years ago, he will be forever considered guilty of it by some portion of the public. This is not due process, or any kind of decent process at all, but how the Senate conducts its business, especially if you are a conservative jurist on the cusp of confirmation to the Supreme Court. A 51-year-old research psychologist named Christine Blasey Ford went public with the accusation in a Washington Post interview over the weekend, saying she feared for her life when the teenage Kavanaugh attacked her. The charge was inevitably viewed through the prism of #MeToo. But it lacks the credibility of allegations that have felled powerful men over the past two years. There is no contemporaneous corroboration. There is no pattern of conduct on the part of Kavanaugh. There is no weaselly, “Well, I don’t remember it that way, but I’m sorry if she was offended” denial; Kavanaugh rejects the charge categorically. Contrast the allegations against, to take a Republican from another moral universe, the Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. A key accuser from decades ago told friends about her relationship with Moore at the time. There was more than one allegation — indeed, Moore had a reputation for unsavory interest in teenage girls. When he first reacted to the stories, Moore gave a mealy mouthed denial.)

 

TIME
— Colleagues Defend Brett Kavanaugh’s Accuser as a Person of Integrity – AP (DIERSEN: How many demographics do you share with Kavanaugh? Both Kavanaugh and I are old non-veteran White male conservative Republicans whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. While Kavanaugh is a federal employee, I am a retired federal employee. While Kavanaugh is Catholic, I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. While Kavanaugh is Irish national origin, I am German national origin. If you were accused of wrongdoing by a woman, who would defend your integrity? My accusers would hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “guilty as charged” if the following failed/refused to defend my integrity: a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. members; b) past and present GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. employees; c) defendants in lawsuits that I have filed; d) all the candidates who have been on Republican primary ballots in my precinct since 2000, e) etc.)

— Its New National Identity Crisis Makes The U.S. More Like The Middle East
https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2018/09/new-national-identity-crisis-makes-u-s-like-middle-east/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of “Americanizing” the Middle East, he notes, that the U.S. has become increasingly “Middle Easternized.” The polarization of American society is so extreme that the Republican and Democratic parties resemble warring tribes that see each other as existential threats. A large number of Republicans seem to regard loyalty to the person of Donald Trump as more important than their commitment to any higher goals like the rule of law or preservation of democracy internationally. The Democratic Party, for its part, has shifted away from the broad class-based coalitions of the New Deal and Great Society to advocacy on behalf of its component identity groups: African-Americans, women, the LGBT community and the like.)

ANSWER: Individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Age Before Beauty, but Not Politics You’re not getting older, you’re getting … elected. – Gail Collins (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am almost 70. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination big time a) to get rid of those who were older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. I should write a book about those in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party who focus on promoting age discrimination. Those who promote age discrimination also promote discrimination against those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

How ‘Hyphenated Americans’ Won World War I
— Nearly a quarter of the men sent to fight in Europe in 1918 were foreign-born. – Geoffrey Wawro (DIERSEN: My grandfather on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWI. In 1844, his ancestors immigrated to Chicago from what is now Germany.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/12/opinion/how-hyphenated-americans-won-world-war-i.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Without American intervention, the war would have probably ended in a German victory, or sputtered to a stalemate, leaving the Germans in possession of much of France, Belgium and Russia. The victory, though, came at significant cost: In the Meuse-Argonne offensive, as the operation came to be known, the Americans alone suffered some 122,000 casualties, including 29,000 dead. That more than a million Americans were fighting in a European war was surprising enough. But even more surprising was the men themselves: Pershing’s soldiers, known as the American Expeditionary Force, were in some units as likely to be foreign- as American-born. Thanks to a wave of immigration, the United States had changed significantly at the turn of the 20th century, going from a nation whose white population was 60 percent British and 35 percent German at the start of the Civil War into a turbulent “melting pot” in time for the Great War: 11 percent British, 20 percent German, 30 percent Italian and Hispanic and 34 percent Slavic.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Can You Afford to Retire? See if your retirement nest egg is future-proofed (DIERSEN: My and my wife’s being able to “afford” my taking my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old emboldened them to force me to take their “offer.” They knew a) what my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension would be, b) what my wife’s salary was, c) what our federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy would be, d) what we had already saved for our retirement, e) what our other savings were, f) that we had no debts, g) that we had no dependents, h) the value of our home, i) the value of the cars that we owned, j) etc. My $51,864 CSRS pension is only 41% of what my $125,325 GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.wsj.com/graphics/retirement-calculator/
— Senate Confirms Charles Rettig as IRS Commissioner Trump’s pick to head tax agency confirmed in 64-33 vote – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: If Rettig had been the IRS Commissioner when I worked for IRS 1971-1980, would he have let my Democrat IRS superiors a) fail/refuse to promote me beyond GS-12, disallow my education deductions in 1978, get rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallow my partial day per diem claims in 1974? I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. Of course, my Democrat IRS superiors wanted my Democrat GAO superiors to a) force me to take a $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) keep me off audits of IRS; c) get rid of my mentor in 1987; d) not promote me; e) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes; f) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals; and g) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Thank Heaven for Bigger Boys Like good men, they protected us when I was a little girl. – Angela Rocco DeCarlo
https://www.wsj.com/articles/thank-heaven-for-bigger-boys-1536792869
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some time after my eldest brother, Christy, had died, I was visiting our Chicago Far West Side neighborhood, affectionately known as “The Island.” A three-square-block enclave corralled by the towns of Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park and a factory district, including a facility that manufactured asbestos gaskets. In windows-open summers sometimes the detritus could be seen floating along. No one seemed worried. It was like living in Disneyland where you thought nothing bad could happen to you. But walking alone on the sidewalk past our school after the funeral, I felt out of kilter. I became aware of a feeling I’d never experienced as a child. I felt afraid. Alone. I no longer felt protected as I always had.)
— Cannabis Comes to Your Coffee and Candy—But Is It Legal? Marketers are selling products containing cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical found in hemp, claiming benefits such as pain relief and stress reduction. But the actual effects are unclear, as is the legal landscape. CBD candies include Lord Jones Natural Fruit Gumdrops with 20 milligrams of CBD per piece. Veggimins Dark Chocolate Hearts have 2 milligrams each. – Anne Marie Chaker (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, pot pushers push pot.)

— Enemies Within – Lloyd Marcus (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Beyond tragically, beyond unacceptably, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. lets people who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform hold leadership positions. Worse yet, the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc. lets these platform plank rejecters drive people like me who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, we have allowed the American left (public education, Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and fake news media) to indoctrinate our children, teaching them that America sucks and is the greatest source of pain and suffering for people both here and abroad. We’re still allowing leftists to mold and shape our kids into their anti-Christian radical progressive image as early as preschool. Consequently, we have young adults in positions of power and influence who literally hate their country. Like sleeper cells, leftist young enemies-within operatives are seeking to bring down by any means necessary America as founded, openly advocating violence and treason. Mega-millionaire pro-football player Colin Kaepernick is an operative of the leftist young enemies within movement. Nike executives who gifted Kaepernick hero status for hating his country are also members of the young enemies within movement. Facebook and Twitter are active members of the movement, boldly censoring conservative, patriotic, and Christian speech, claiming that such talk is hateful. Starbucks executives believe the leftist lie that America is overrun with rabid racists. Therefore, Starbucks sales clerks were instructed to lecture customers about race when ordering coffee. I suspect that Starbucks clerks lectured only white customers. Upon suggesting that a Millennial family member visit Mt. Rushmore while visiting South Dakota, that person’s venomous response was, “I wouldn’t go across the street to visit those guys.” Clearly, public school taught my young white relative that the men carved in Mt. Rushmore were evil racist white slave-owners.)
