— Senate GOP busts caps: Senate Republican leader Bill Brady of Bloomington gave a $100,001 loan to his campaign committee, opening the door to receiving unlimited-size contributions. Brady could transfer that money to Republican senators and candidates. His fund began July with $781,000 in cash on hand and raised another $354,500 in donations of more than $1,000 through the end of September. Brady also chairs the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee fund. Neither of the two funds has received money from Rauner, who has given to House Republican campaign efforts. – Rick Pearson

CHICAGO BUSINESS JOURNAL
— OPPOSITION RESEARCH: DuPage County Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, To Host Free October 6th Inaugural “Get out the Vote Concert” at DuPage County Fairgrounds to Increase Voter Turnout and Introduce Voters to Candidates
https://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/businesswire/press_releases/Illinois/2018/09/21/20180921005553
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180921005553/en/
(FROM THE PROMOTION: Statewide Candidates Including JB Pritzker and Kwame Raoul and Democratic Candidates in DuPage County to Attend News Highlights Entertainment by Award Winning Musicians, Orbert Davis of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Jazz Vocalist of the Year Tammy McCann, and Ralph Covert of The Bad Examples and Ralph’s World. Several delicious food trucks by Chicagoland’s best including Mario Cart’s Race to the Taste. The Beer Cellar from Glen Ellyn will be on hand to sell fresh, local craft beer from Illinois. Family-friendly activities which include a mock voting event for children, with voting booths, ballots and stickers; seasonal activities for children, including: face painting, pumpkin painting and balloon artists and photo booth. Help Lynn Win, the organization supporting DuPage County Board Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, is hosting a free “Get Out The Vote Concert” on Saturday, October 6 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds at 2015 Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL from 3PM to 7PM. For the very first time, constituents in DuPage County will have a chance to hear from the largest gathering of Democratic candidates in the state. Ms. LaPlante commented, “This is a watershed event in an historically red DuPage County. We have never had a full Democratic ballot for voters to choose from before. Currently, there is one Democrat out of nineteen County Board Members. A Democrat or a woman has never held the office of Chairman in the history of DuPage County—179 years! It is time to change that. For the first time in its history, voters will be able to hear from and meet a full ballot of inspiring Democratic candidates, from the judges at bottom of the ballot to gubernatorial candidates at the top. Many of the candidates attending the event, including JB Pritzker, are first time candidates like me, following President Obama’s wise words that ‘change only happens when ordinary people get involved.”)

For sure, Money Magazine would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, and provably not either if I was not 100% German national origin and baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Money Magazine despises, if not hates those who share my demographics.)

— Trump asks if Feinstein leaked allegation against Kavanaugh, says FBI probe may be ‘blessing in disguise’ The president told reporters he fully supported his Supreme Court nominee and said he has no backup plan to replace him. The allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh have reminded millions of Americans of the hard-drinking, hypersexualized “bro culture,” often associated with fraternities and prep schools. – Lauren Egan (DIERSEN: The “bro culture” did not attract me. I lived with my parents and brother while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I lived at University Plaza Dormitory for three semesters 1969-1970 and at Lincolnshire West Apartments for the 1970 summer session. I never even tried to join a fraternity.)

Ever-increasingly, far too many of the aforsaid promote identity politics, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)
https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/how-to-make-a-political-contribution/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make sure you can afford to donate Determine which “bucket” of your budget this donation will come from, says Craig Israelsen, executive in residence in the Financial Planning Program at Utah Valley University. Some buckets are off limits, like those for housing payments or utilities. And pulling from retirement savings is “questionable” at best, he adds. (“Our retirement is on us — nobody else is really responsible for that.”) But the money “has to come from somewhere,” Israelsen says. So would you dip into to your clothing or restaurant budget and offset a $100 contribution by, say, not shopping or dining out for a month? Would you pull $300 from your travel funds and, in doing so, commit to driving to Mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner rather than flying? Pausing to reflect on what you’d have to give up for this donation will help you rank its importance among other expenses. Maybe you decide to keep the restaurant dinners and either skip the donation or give less than you’d intended. (More on the value of small donations later.) Or maybe this reflection affirms that, yes, this contribution is important enough to make a sacrifice. (And if this exercise is a real head-scratcher, consider it your cue to build or revisit your budget.))

During the last 12 hours, last 24 hours, last week, last month, last year, last 5 years, last 10 years, last 15 years, and last 20+ years, a) how many articles have they written that defend and advance conservative principles, including the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and b) how many of those articles have they posted on their website and emailed me the hyperlink? If you do not regularly write, post, and share articles that defend and advance conservative principles, you are NOT a conservative leader.)

— How the fight over Kavanaugh in the Senate could more directly impact the race for House CNN Digital Expansion 2018 – Rebecca Berg and Dan Merica
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/27/politics/kavanaugh-senate-impact-house/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the race against Republican Rep. Peter Roskam in the Chicago suburbs, Democrat Sean Casten has been honing in on Kavanaugh since his nomination in July, initially focusing on concerns that Kavanaugh might vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Decades ago, Roskam’s district was represented by Henry Hyde, the namesake of the Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for abortions. But the district’s complexion has shifted since Hyde’s time, and Casten has sought to capitalize on a growing pro-choice contingent. Casten has also used Kavanaugh’s nomination to criticize Roskam as a rubber stamp for the President; this week, the Casten campaign has promoted an ad on Facebook calling on Roskam to withdraw his support for the embattled nominee. But the dramatic hearing Thursday, including Ford’s tearful testimony, has upped the ante further. “I think it means we’re going to keep the pressure on (Roskam), that people should believe women,” said Greg Bales, Casten’s campaign manager. “She (Ford) showed incredible courage, and Peter Roskam doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Trump.” Roskam’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “This is an important issue,” Bales added, “and we’re going to continue bringing attention to it.”)

— Kavanaugh High-School Friend Mark Judge, a Potential Key to Many Questions, Is Absent Writer has refused to appear for hearing, and says he doesn’t remember events Christine Blasey Ford alleges – Alex Leary and Siobhan Hughes (DIERSEN: What did you do during the summer before your senior year in high school? I worked full-time for the minimum wage for S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights either washing dishes or doing stock boy work. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I drove a 1958 Chevy BelAir. I saved all the money that I could to buy a new car to use to commute to classes at UIC the next year.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/kavanaugh-high-school-friend-mark-judge-a-potential-key-to-many-questions-is-absent-1538089901
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his book, Mr. Judge wrote of being “completely hooked” on alcohol the summer before his senior year, a disorder that he wrote he brought to his job bagging groceries at the local supermarket. “Invariably I would be hungover—or still drunk—when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together.” Mr. Judge graduated high school in 1983, which would have made 1982 the summer before his senior year. That is the same year that Dr. Ford has suspected the alleged attack may have occurred, although she said she could better pinpoint the time frame if she knew when Mr. Judge was working at a local Safeway grocery store, where she ran into him.)
— New Laws Aim to Make Work Hours More Predictable Research indicates regular schedules benefit staffers’ well-being; complications for employers – Rachel Feintzeig (DIERSEN: While I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I was “on call” 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Frequently, I was called in to work because my coworkers had called in sick or just failed to show up for work. Even though I would have available to work every Friday, every Saturday, every Sunday, every Monday, every holiday, and every day that NIU would not be in session, my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 saying that I would not be available to work enough days. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have filed a grievance to keep my job. But my Democrat superiors were doing everything that they could to make the Park Forest Post Office a “hostile workplace” for me. They stressed that I was avoiding the draft by seeking and obtaining student draft deferments. Virtually all my coworkers, supervisors, and superiors were veterans.)

Firestone Stores did not make me a counteroffer when Oldsmobile offered me a job in early 1971 when I was 22 years old. My Firestone Stores boss did not approve of my demographics, especially my being Republican, a draft avoider, 100% German national origin, and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Nevertheless, he did let me work part-time for him until the end of 1972.)

My financial hardship draft deferment application was pending. I used part of my salary to help support my mother and brother. Things improved financially in 1971 when a) I got a better paying job working for IRS, b) I started working for Firestone part-time, and c) my mother got a better paying job. I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, I started paying tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972, and I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Bruce Rauner says he’s a centrist while Republican, Democratic parties dominated by extremes – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Since at least 1977, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative extremists. These anti-conservative extremists reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the IRP platform. These anti-conservative extremists do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of the IRP, that is, they do everything that they can to destroy the IRP.)

— Rauner reaching out to suburban women – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-attorney-general-editorial-board-meeting-20180924-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban women have been a critical factor in deciding special elections this year and, amid their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is reaching out in a new ad. The ad features Anne Wedner, a former backer of President Barack Obama, who is founder of Kent Road Strategies, who has worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns with a focus on the North Shore. Billing herself as a lifelong Democrat, Wedner touts her childhood support for the Equal Rights Amendment and her dissatisfaction with national politics — a distancing effort from Trump aimed at helping Rauner in the suburbs while he seeks Trump supporter backing Downstate. “Today, I’m not happy with Washington and I’m also heartbroken about Illinois,” she says. “We have to fix our financial problems and Bruce Rauner is the only candidate with the courage to do it,” she adds. Wedner goes on to say the election “isn’t about party politics. This is about saving our state.” The suburban collar counties voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton over Trump — except for McHenry County — in the 2016 presidential and there are GOP fears that moderate suburban women will be a major factor in Illinois’ November elections because of the controversial president. The ad can be viewed here.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Plus, 2.0 would make more cuts to the estate tax that’s paid by only about 5,000 wealthy families — while permanently capping the $10,000 SALT (state and local tax) deduction that millions of taxpayers use. There’s more, but you get the drift.)

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious when I got married in 1978. They had always painted me as being someone who so bad that no one would marry me.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/25/i-know-his-heart-ashley-estes-kavanaugh-revives-old-fashioned-script-in-newfangled-era/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting to save his Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh was joined by his wife Monday for a Fox News interview. Ashley Estes Kavanaugh is a town manager in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a former aide in George W. Bush’s White House, where she and Kavanaugh met. The interview was powerful proof that, even in the #MeToo moment, Wynette’s call to “show the world you love him” still carries weight, as it did for Clinton, even though she disparaged the song. The comparison is especially fitting given Kavanaugh’s role — as associate counsel in the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr — in proposing sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Asked by Fox’s Martha MacCallum whether she doubted her husband, the mother of two daughters replied, “No. I mean, I know Brett — I’ve known him for 17 years.” “And,” she continued, as her husband glanced sideways to look plaintively at her, “this is not at all characteristic. It’s really hard to believe. He’s decent. He’s kind. He’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with Brett.”)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-internet/china-shuts-thousands-of-websites-in-clean-up-campaign-xinhua-idUSKCN1M302F
(FROM THE ARTICLE: China has shut down more than 4,000 websites and online accounts in a three-month campaign against “harmful” online information, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday, citing the country’s illegal publication watchdog. China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytizing and even “spreading rumors”. In a campaign that started in May, the authorities tackled 120 violations and ordered 230 firms to rectify irregularities. More than 147,000 pieces of harmful information were removed by the end of August, according to China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications. Xinhua said the campaign targeted content in online fiction that spread improper values, vulgarity and obscenity, as well as content that infringed on copyright. Authorities announced last week that they had busted a live-streaming pornography platform hosted in Cambodia and said to have more than 3.5 million registered users.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/business/brett-kavanaugh-yearbook-renate.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh’s page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the teenage years of the man who is now President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach. Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry: “Renate Alumnius.” The word “Renate” appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983 yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls’ school. Two of Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of the football players’ unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests. “They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” said Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge Kavanaugh and his teammates. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.”)
