(FROM THE ARTICLE: Heavy.com is reporting James T. Hodgkinson from Belleville, Illinois as the named shooter in the Alexandria, VA mass shooting of Republicans as they were practicing for a baseball game. We have captured the list of Facebook Groups he was a member of, and it is quite interesting – here are some of the more disturbing-looking ones:

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner ‘special guest’ at $10,000 Illinois Republican Party fundraiser – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) stress that I give little or no money to the Republican National Committee, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee or Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, or America and b) hint/imply/argue/shout that “money is all that matters.”  In my defense, I give the aforesaid a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning and each and every evening free of charge and without any advertising. Since 2004, those emails have included links to almost 272,600 articles of interest to Illinois Republicans and information on many upcoming events.  GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.  I spend about an hour putting the emails together and sending them out for every six articles in the emails, that is, since 2004, I have spent about 45,400 hours doing that, that is, at $100/hour, I have made in-kind donations to the aforesaid worth about $4,543,100.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-illinois-republican-party-fundraiser-20170613-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party is holding a Monday night fundraiser featuring all seven members of the state’s GOP delegation to the U.S. House plus what organizers are calling a “special guest” in Gov. Bruce Rauner. The event is called “Cocktails with the Congressmen” and tickets start at $100 per person, with $10,000 required to play “host” at the Rosemont outpost of Gene & Georgetti. Those paying $2,500 or more per person will gain access to a special hourlong reception prior to the general reception cattle call. Along with Rauner, scheduled to attend are Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam of Wheaton, Randy Hultgren of Plano, Adam Kinzinger of Channahon, Rodney Davis of Taylorville, John Shimkus of Collinsville, Darin LaHood of Peoria and Mike Bost of Murphysboro. Rauner has almost singlehandedly revived the Illinois Republican Party as a political force, largely through his own wallet. Rauner and his campaign fund have given the state GOP at least 72 percent of the $42.5 million it has raised since he took office as governor.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/la-fg-venezuela-democracy-2017-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attacks on news media  In 2007, Chavez refused to renew the broadcasting license of RCTV, the most widely followed anti-government station, forcing it to shut down and sparking nationwide protests. Since then, an estimated 300 independent small-town radio stations have either been shut down or forced to change to government-friendly formats, according to Marcelino Bisbal, a professor at Andres Bello Catholic University. Globovision, the last television station to broadcast anti-government editorials, was forced to sell in 2013 after owners complained of mounting government fines and political harassment. The new owners are businessmen with ties to Maduro. CNN, El Tiempo TV, NTN24 and other Spanish language cable channels that have criticized the government have been banned from broadcasting in Venezuela. Maduro halted TV broadcasts of National Assembly sessions last year after the opposition won majority control. In 2014, the largest daily newspaper, El Universal, was forced to sell to a government-friendly owner group.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-chicago-ethics-board-lobbying-violations-met-0614-20170613-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two individuals who contacted Mayor Rahm Emanuel through his personal email broke the city’s lobbying laws, the Chicago Board of Ethics determined Tuesday. The panel voted without dissent to find the two people violated the law by seeking to influence City Hall action without registering as a lobbyist. Ethics board President William F. Conlon said the individuals would be identified on a city website, but not until later this week after they are notified of the ruling.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Former Mariano’s employee sues over fingerprint data – NONA TEPPER  (DIERSEN: To deter/detect potential conflicts of interest, federal employees are required to give their superiors lots of information about their financial assets and debts.  Federal employees should expect that their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who want to waste your career and who want to get rid of you will get your financial information and will use that information against you.  My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates talked and acted like they knew exactly what was on my and my wife’s income tax returns, what our incomes were, what are financial and other assets were, what our debts were, that we had no dependents, etc. They talked and acted like they viewed us as being undeservedly selfish rich DINKs (dual income, no kids).  They painted me as being someone who had way too much money, and therefore, a) someone who did not need nor should get pay increases or promotions and b) someone who should take early retirement as soon as it is offered.  They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a poor person in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it so that a poor person could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a poor person in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted poor people in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a poor person in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a poor person in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a poor person could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170614/NEWS07/170619958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The plaintiff, Thomas Doporcyk, alleges that “Mariano’s disregards their employees’ statutorily protected privacy rights and unlawfully collects, stores and uses their biometric data,” according to a complaint filed June 9 in Cook County Circuit Court. Mariano’s required Doporcyk to check in and out of work by scanning his fingerprints, according to the suit. Mariano’s requires all Illinois employees, salaried and hourly, to clock in through a fingerprint scanner.)
— Uber’s culture led one Chicago tech firm to boycott it on moral grounds – Bloomberg  (DIERSEN: What is/was the culture where you work/worked?  Sadly, tragically, and unacceptably, despite civil service protections, in most, if not in virtually all government entities, the culture is patronage. Those who move up the ladder the fastest are those who are not only a member of their superiors’ political party, but someone who panders to their superiors, who serves as an operative or as a dupe for their superiors, and who helps their superiors get rid of employees who are members of other political parties.)

— New data: Inequality runs even deeper than previously thought – HOWARD R. GOLD  (DIERSEN: What would your superiors say that they did to fight income inequality?  My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.  My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.  My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

— Most Are Planning A Summer Vacation  (DIERSEN: Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor and his wife are not planning any kind of vacation. I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977.  My wife and I went on many vacations, typically four each year, 1978-1992 in connection with her business trips to luxury resorts all across America.  Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious about that.)
