— Rauner’s ‘Trump-Like’ Campaign – Walter Jacobson  (DIERSEN: How “Trump-Like” are you?  The more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that anti-Trumps demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being “Trump-Like.”  Anti-Trumps stress that I am Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, Republican, American, White, male, old (67), married, non-poor, gun owner, 100% German national origin, and all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s. Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who share the aforesaid demographics.  If/when Clinton wins, how fast will the anti-Trumps get rid of those who share the aforesaid demographics?)

— Out-of-work financial execs still feeling bite of economic crisis – Gail MarksJarvis
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-searching-for-financial-jobs-0828-biz-20160825-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: About eight years after the financial crisis, the turmoil that began on Wall Street and then drifted into companies of all types has left the ranks of the unemployed and underemployed heavy with people who once enjoyed senior financial positions in a variety of industries. They face a sharply reduced market for the types of jobs they used to take for granted. Rosengard stated adamantly: “Banking is not a stable position.” Since the crash, she’s had well-paying short-term consulting positions and poor-paying temp work, but nothing like the security she used to have. Now, as she continues her search, “It’s like a twilight zone. You are either offered a position that has good pay, but a position way below your capabilities, or you are offered a top position with no pay.” Rosengard isn’t alone. She’s beginning to attend meetings of the Financial Executives Networking Group, or FENG, that are filled with people who’ve gone to premier MBA programs, guided companies through multimillion-dollar decisions, had titles like chief financial officer, treasurer and vice president of finance, and generally excelled at what they’ve done. At a recent downtown Chicago event in an Addison Group boardroom, Rosengard and 31 others exchanged job leads with one another and listened to a motivational speaker. “You aren’t getting recognized for your skills,” said the speaker, Conor Cunneen. “I know it’s a pain in the butt when you know you can do the job with your eyes closed, and they are going to give it to someone new at it, taking half the salary.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there has been almost no recovery in the number of financial positions in Illinois since the financial crisis set off thousands of layoffs. During summer 2006, as the economy seemed strong and few worried about jobs, financial positions peaked at 335,100 in Illinois. But by March 2011, only 283,000 remained, and by June this year the numbers had improved only slightly to 295,200. Nationally, many of the 718,000 financial jobs that disappeared have returned, but commercial banking is still short more than 58,000 jobs. Positions in leasing and rental equipment are down 93,200. “Whatever the government says, the recession continues,” said Matt Bud, national chairman of FENG, which holds sessions like the Chicago meetup in cities throughout the country. About 50,000 out-of-work or underemployed executives are members nationwide.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— Clinton invokes father’s memory to hit Trump on business – AP  (DIERSEN: By way of contrast, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were German Lutherans and hint/imply/argue/shout that because of that, a) they were racists, sexists, and bigots; b) I benefited tremendously from their racism, sexism, and bigotry; and c) I therefore should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://qctimes.com/news/state-and-regional/illinois/clinton-invokes-father-s-memory-to-hit-trump-on-business/article_52853bbe-1908-5442-b7c4-1c7bdcfa854d.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton has landed on a very personal counterpunch to what she says is Donald Trump’s checkered business past: her dad. As the Democratic presidential nominee works to undercut Trump’s economic record and promote her plans for small businesses, she is invoking memories of her late father’s Chicago drapery business. Recalling Hugh Rodham hard at work making and printing curtains for hotels and office buildings, Clinton argues that he would have been “stiffed” in a deal with the celebrity businessman. “He expected to be paid when he showed up,” Clinton said recently during an event in Warren, Michigan. “He did the work. He paid for the supplies and the labor he often hired to help him on big jobs. I can’t imagine what would have happened to my father and his business if he had gotten a contract from Trump.” With fuzzy memories of her father, Clinton hopes to remind voters that despite her years in public life that have left her a multimillionaire, she comes from a middle-class background and understands the life of a small-business owner. She also wants to contrast her biography with that of Trump, who was raised by a successful real estate developer and has drawn criticism for his treatment of small businesses during his career. Trump has promoted his business record as a key qualification for the White House. But Trump casinos failed on several occasions. When the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey went bankrupt in the early 1990s, some contractors who worked on the property went under because Trump’s company didn’t pay what they were owed, according to interviews with The Associated Press. In a statement to the AP, Clinton said her father’s business gave her “a sense of responsibility,” adding that she was “living proof that a successful small business is at the core of the basic bargain in America, that if you work hard and do your part, you can make your own dreams and those of your children a reality.”)

http://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20160827/bernard-schoenburg-davis-gop-quick-to-attack-independent-gill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chairman TIM SCHNEIDER after Thursday’s ruling. “David Gill is a failed career politician who has been running for Congress for 12 years,” Schneider said. “Voters rejected him as a Democrat in 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012. In 2014, disgraced former Governor PAT QUINN bribed Gill with a state job in exchange for not running. Feeling the itch to run for Congress a fifth time, Gill is now hoping to trick voters by running as an independent in 2016. David Gill is no independent; he is an extreme liberal who will clearly do or say anything to get elected.”)

 

CHICAGO MAROON
— Student President Eric Holmberg Calls Free Speech Letter “Messed Up”  “I THINK THEIR STRATEGY IS TO CREATE A FALSE FIGHT FOR FREE SPEECH TO IGNORE THE CONCRETE STRUGGLES THAT ARE GOING ON.” – Pete Grieve  (DIERSEN: What does Holmberg think of you? From what I see, Holmberg would join my critics/opponents in demonizing me, in denigrating me, and in condemning me as someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and who has always been privileged.  Holmberg would stress the new cars and collector cars that I bought, the real estate that I bought, the college degrees, professional certifications, and professional license that I earned, the salary that I was paid, the money that I saved for retirement, the retirement benefits that I have, etc.  Holmberg would hint/imply/argue/shout that I got all of the aforesaid a) because I benefited tremendously from my parents’, from my grand parents’, from my great grand parents’, and from the rest of my ancestors’ racism, sexism, and bigotry; b) because I avoided the draft; and c) because my wife and gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)
https://chicagomaroon.com/2016/08/27/student-president-calls-free-speech-letter-messed-up/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Student Government President Eric Holmberg said in an interview that Dean John “Jay” Ellison’s letter condemning trigger warnings and intellectual safe spaces exploited a “false narrative” of coddled millennials for publicity. “It’s a messed up letter. I think the tone is condescending,” he told The Maroon. “The University is creating this threat of trigger warnings and safe spaces that really isn’t an active conversation on campus.”  Holmberg called the letter “hypocritical,” saying that the University hasn’t done its part to engage in challenging discourse with its students. He noted that activists have struggled to get administrators to attend their meetings. “Of anyone else on campus, the administration is far more fearful of challenge and discomfort than any student I know,” he said. “It’s ironic that during my time at the University of Chicago, administrators have continuously sought to create a comfortable space for themselves free of challenge by avoiding engagement with student leaders,” he said in a statement. “It’s a bit hypocritical, but I see why they’re doing it,” he said. “A couple of benefits: 1) Fundraising—I’m sure President Zimmer’s Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday was good for polarizing around this topic and making it seem like it’s a big issue on campus. 2) It creates this specter of trigger warnings and safe spaces based on false narratives of coddled millennials. That doesn’t really exist. There hasn’t been organized activism around trigger warnings on campus.”)

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/roger-ailes-opposition-research-gabriel-sherman/2016/08/26/id/745425/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two years before Gabriel Sherman published his book about Roger Ailes, the now-former Fox News CEO amassed a 400-page dossier on the New York magazine editor seeking to discredit him and his work, according to news reports. “We always wondered why Ailes was so obsessed and paranoid about Gabe’s book,” a former Fox News reporter told CNN’s Brian Stelter. Sherman’s work — “The Loudest Voice in the Room” — was first published in January 2014. When reminded of the lawsuit filed last month by former Fox anchor Gretchen Carlson alleging sexual harassment that ultimately led to Alies’ subsequent resignation, the ex-reporter then said, “maybe we know why.” Ailes, 76, has denied Carlson’s accusations. He remains a Fox consultant through 2018. According to Stelter, the document was a book-length memo dated Jan. 5, 2012. He likened it to “opposition research” against an adversary in a political campaign.)

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/the-future-of-work/job-candidates-checking-references-on-their-potential-employers/article31580806/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The difference this Labour Day is that the hiring dynamics are changing. Employers find, increasingly, that top prospects are checking their references. “They are very, very sophisticated job seekers now,” said Laura Williams, founder and principal of Williams HR Law and Williams HR Consulting Inc. of Markham, Ont. “Social media platforms, LinkedIn included, create opportunities to identify past employees of an organization. The trend I am seeing is that when people become viable candidates, they will do a search, find someone who worked there and call,” Ms. Williams said in an interview. “As an employer, you are vulnerable to any candidate learning about the real deal by just contacting someone who was there before.” Research by the professional networking site LinkedIn has found that the majority of its members are receptive to an approach from other employers but are unlikely to job hop without knowing “what it’s really like” to work there, said Julie Dossett, a marketing and communications specialist with LinkedIn Canada, which has more than 12.5 million members. There’s still movement, of course. “We are entering an age where loyalty is decreasing. In fact, while more than half of the workforce (67 per cent) say they are satisfied with their jobs, nearly a quarter (23 per cent) still see themselves leaving by the end of the year,” LinkedIn reported in its 2016 talent trends survey. There tends to be a lot more give and take in the interview process, especially when employees have the option of staying in their current jobs. Candidates want to know why the position is open, what happened to the previous person in the role, and what they can expect in terms of career advancement if they join the company, Ms. Dossett said in an interview. They want “honest and up-front” specifics of responsibilities and workload, and will press recruiters to describe “a realistic day in the life of a person in that job, good and bad.”)

FORTUNE
— This Is How Much Americans Spend on Their Dogs – Michal Addady (DIERSEN: One reason why my wife and I have more money than many, if not most, if not virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes is that we have never owned a dog.  If we owned a dog, I would never be able to spend 10+ hours a day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
http://fortune.com/2016/08/26/pet-industry/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you thought the love of your pet was priceless, the American Pet Products Association is here to prove you wrong. The APPA found that in 2016 U.S. pet owners are expected to spend $62.75 billion on their furry (or scaly) friends. That estimate is up about 4% from the $60.28 billion spent last year. In fact, total U.S. pet industry expenditures have gone up every single year that the association has collected this data, which it began doing in 1994. That first year, the industry was worth $17 billion. Of the $60.28 billion spent on pets in 2015, $23.05 billion was spent on food alone. Veterinary care was the next most expensive aspect of pet ownership, coming in at $15.42 billion. Supplies, like over the counter medicine, and services, including grooming and boarding, came out to $19.69 billion. Another $2.12 billion went toward “live animal purchases,” which generally means that an animal has been purchased as a pet, though a fraction are used as live feed. Excluding live animal purchases, each one of those categories is expected to grow this year. In the U.S. there are currently 312.1 million domesticated pets living in 129.8 million households. Cats and dogs are by far the most popular pets, with 75% of pet-owning households having at least one. However, cats and dogs are each outnumbered fish, which account for 105 million pets, more than a third of all the pets owned in the country. Cat and dog owners generally spend a good chunk of money on their pets each year. Tallying up veterinary care, food, treats, boarding, grooming, vitamins, and toys, it costs $1,641 per year to take care of a dog and $1,125 to take care of a cat.)

 

MONEY MAGAZINE
— It’s National Dog Day! We Share Our Dogs’ Best and Worst Money Habits  (DIERSEN: One reason why my wife and I have more money than many, if not most, if not virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes is that we have never owned a dog. If we owned a dog, I would never be able to spend 10+ hours a day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
http://time.com/money/4468821/money-national-dog-day-pets/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In honor of National Dog Day, we asked MONEY staffers to divulge just how much they spend on their pooches. While we know you can’t put a price on a pup’s unconditional love, the bills do add up. This year, U.S. pet owners are expected to spend $62.75 billion on dogs and other furry, scaly, and feathered friends—a figure that has steadily increased each year, according to the American Pet Products Association. Puppy chow eats up the largest chunk of that total, with Americans expected to spend $23 billion on pet food. Trips to the vet are also costly, too, running pet owners a total of $15.42 billion in 2016. The essential expenses are only part of the total cost; there’s also grooming, boarding, vitamins, and Fido’s toys and treats. In total, the APPA estimates that man will spend $1,641 each year to take care of his best friend. There certainly are ways that you can cut back on pet spending without depriving your furry family member. Here are the best—and worst—money habits of MONEY’s favorite dogs.)

http://abc7chicago.com/health/wheaton-woman-named-caregiver-of-the-year/1486823/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton woman is chosen among thousands as Brightstar Care’s Caregiver of the Year in the Midwest region. Elsa Salguero was surprised today by the home care agency and the family she works with. The family who nominated her says Salguero’s devotion to her patients is unequaled. “My ultimate goal every time I encounter my patients and clients is to always leave them better than what they are when you first encounter them. Walk out of the room knowing that you’ve done everything that you possibly could to leave them feeling loved and important,” she said.  Salguero was awarded a trophy, a cake and a sash.)

— Naperville Sun Q&A: Abdul-Jabbar urges Americans to approach issues using facts, not emotions – David Sharos  (DIERSEN: What demographic facts about you would Abdul-Jabbar use to form his opinion of you?  From what I see, Abdul-Jabbar would use the following demographic facts about me to form an extremely negative opinion about me: baptized in 1948, raised, and confirmed in 1962 as a Missouri Synod Lutheran; conservative; Republican; American; White; male; old (67); non-poor; gun owner; Wheaton resident since 1978; Crete resident 1948-1972; 100% German national origin; and ancestors have been in America since the 1840s.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-abdul-jabbar-q-and-a-st-0828-20160826-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q: Why do you think race has become such a source of conflict in this country that hasn’t been seen since Martin Luther King and the 1960s? A: It has ramped up, and it has to do with people noticing change — the complexion of America is getting a little bit more brown. It’s not like white people are getting outproduced or soon be a minority, but there’s a lot more people of color, and a lot of these people are in positions of power and influence, and it doesn’t look like it did in the ’40s and ’50s. The greater number of people of color is adding to the racial tension. Q: You’ve had a chance to talk with Donald Trump. What’s your take on him? A: I met him, which he doesn’t even acknowledge. I met him twice. My take on him is that he’s trying to exploit fear for votes. I think that’s reprehensible on his part.)

— BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND TRAGIC: Video (GAMBLING) Reaches New Heights In Illinois – JENNA DOOLEY
http://peoriapublicradio.org/post/video-gaming-reaches-new-heights-illinois#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell is with the Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems. “There has been embezzlement. There’s been bankruptcy, divorce, and crime – all of the results of video gambling,” Bedell says, “and that will just continue to grow.” Notice that she calls it video gambling instead of video gaming. The distinction is important because her group also monitors the state gaming numbers, but she focuses her attention on how much money players have lost. Bedell’s group tallies the top ten communities by dollars lost by players. Since 2012, they include Springfield, Rockford, Decatur, Bloomington, Champaign, and Peoria. Bedell says her group will continue to educate communities which want to add or expand video gaming.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: People might be shocked at how high drug prices have gotten. But equally lucrative are the compensation packages hauled in by drug company CEOs. CEOs of the 14 biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that served all of 2015 pulled down median compensation packages valued at $18.5 million in 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That was 71% greater than the median $10.8 million hauled in by S&P 500 executives in all industries in 2015, according to an analysis by Equilar. “We all know drug prices are high,” says Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of compensation analysis firm The Value Alliance. “Companies award (the CEOs) very generous packages.” Health care CEOs received the highest median pay packages of any of the 10 sectors, according to the Equilar analysis.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/steinberg-criticize-me-and-you-criticize-everyone-like-me/
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps report that “Clinton blisters Trump, the alt-right.” If Clinton wins on November 8, 2016, how quickly will the Democrats get rid of those who did not vote for Clinton, and especially those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/sweet-hillary-blisters-trump-alt-right/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “From the start,” Hillary Clinton said in a speech on Thursday, “Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia,” making her strongest case to date on how Trump is encouraging an emerging extremist movement associated with white nationalism. At a rally in Reno, Nevada, Democrat Clinton took aim at Trump and what is called the “alt-right.” You’ll be hearing more about the alt-right in the context of Trump’s Republican candidacy. Don’t blame yourself if you haven’t heard about the alt-right until now. Trump’s presidential run – and his choice for a new campaign CEO, and now Clinton’s speech — are shining a spotlight on an underbelly of U.S. politics. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which researches and tracks hate groups, defines the alt-right this way: “The Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that ‘white identity’ is under attack by multicultural forces using ‘political correctness’ and ‘social justice’ to undermine white people and ‘their’ civilization. Characterized by heavy use of social media and online memes, Alt-Righters eschew ‘establishment’ conservatism, skew young, and embrace white ethno-nationalism as a fundamental value.” It’s not a surprise that Trump is, as the SPLC put it, a “hero” to the alt-right. Trump planted the seeds of his presidential candidacy by taking a leading role in promoting “birtherism,” encouraging the lie that President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., a way to try to delegitimize the election of the nation’s first black president. In a recent staff shakeup, Steve Bannon, a Breitbart News executive, was installed as the new Trump campaign CEO. The Breitbart site is an outlet for stories appealing to the alt-right. Trump also added an experienced, savvy GOP pollster, Kellyanne Conway, as his campaign manager. With the new campaign leadership, in the past few days, Trump has done some outreach to Hispanics and African-Americans. Along those lines, he also started calling Clinton a bigot. Trump’s visit to Chicago last March, just before the Illinois primary, is being recast by Trump surrogates as a campaign stop aimed at minority outreach. That’s not true. A Trump spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, repeated that wrong assertion about Trump’s Chicago visit on CNN on Thursday. On the Friday before the Tuesday Illinois primary, Trump canceled a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago when skirmishes broke out between his supporters and protesters. I reported last May that the only reason the rally was at UIC, according to Kenneth Gray, a Trump staffer who booked the venue, was because no suburban locations were available. The United Center wanted $80,000 a night and the UIC charged only $10,000 in rent, not counting other costs for police and extra staffing. For the record: There’s a lot of justifiable criticism of Clinton when it comes to her State Department emails. She should have distanced herself from Clinton Foundation donors when she was secretary of State. For the record: Hillary Clinton is not a bigot. That’s not right. By the way: Trump left Chicago having done no pre-primary event – for minorities or anybody else. Clinton spent the day before the Illinois primary meeting with Hispanics, and later, African-American families of victims of violence. I see these race-based moves more as Trump and his team trying to appeal to persuadable swing voters who are aghast at a string of Trump’s race-based slams at Muslims, Mexicans and others. His record is his record. “Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters. It’s a disturbing preview of what kind of president he’d be,” Clinton said Thursday. “And that’s what I want to make clear today: A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far, dark reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military. Ask yourself, if he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans? “Now, I know that some people still want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. They hope that he will eventually reinvent himself – that there’s a kinder, gentler, more responsible Donald Trump waiting in the wings somewhere. “Because after all, it’s hard to believe anyone — let alone a nominee for president — could really believe all the things he says. Said Clinton, “But here’s the hard truth, there is no other Donald Trump.”)

GOPUSA
— The Republican Turncoats
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=14062
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I asked a successful businessman the other day what he thought about Donald Trump. He turned his thumb down. Wow. “Are you going to vote for Hillary?” I asked with trepidation. “Of course not,” he replied, almost insulted by the question. “I understand the concept of a binary decision.”  I got a similar response when I asked oil magnate T. Boone Pickens whether he would vote for Trump. He looked at me with a quizzical expression and replied: “Well, who else is there to vote for?” Right. Who else is there? Yet, amazingly, a caucus of lifelong Republican politicos in Washington are announcing to the world with defiance and self-righteousness that they will vote for Hillary Clinton. They are mostly former Mitt Romney and George W. Bush operatives. They lost, and now they want people to believe that their anti-Trumpism is a principled act of heroism. They ingratiate themselves to The New York Times, Washington Post and team Clinton — the sworn enemies of free markets and conservative values. Somehow this doesn’t offend their moral compass.)

THE HILL
— Trump rips Clinton for playing race card – Lisa Hagen (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs shout that Republicans are racists.)
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/293347-trump-rips-clinton-for-playing-race-card
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump ripped Hillary Clinton for playing the race card on Thursday, calling her a bully seeking to distract voters from her own controversies by accusing others of racism. “She lies, she smears, she paints decent Americans as racists,” Trump said at a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday. “She bullies voters, who only want a better future and tries to intimidate them out of voting for change.” Trump’s remarks were a pre-emptive attack on a speech Clinton delivered Thursday afternoon that linked Trump to white supremacist groups. Clinton in a tweet on Thursday highlighted members of the Ku Klux Klan complimenting Trump. The attacks from Clinton follow Trump’s decision to make Breitbart News executive Steve Bannon his campaign CEO. Breitbart is considered a part of the conservative “alt-right” movement that Clinton criticized in her speech. The two presidential contenders are in a pitched battle over race that appears to be aimed at both minority voters and white voters who might be reluctant to support a candidate viewed as sympathetic to white nationalism. The GOP nominee said it is clear Clinton is purposely trying to change the subject from questions about Clinton Foundation donors’ access to the State Department when she was in charge there. “Now, as all of these revelations have been discovered this week, Hillary Clinton has been hiding,” Trump said. “But she’s emerging not to take responsibly for her unethical and criminal conduct, but instead to make one of the most brazen attempts at distraction in the history of politics. “The news reports are that Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and all of you and the millions of decent Americans at record levels … and going to accuse decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists,” he continued. “It’s the oldest play in the Democratic playbook. “When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument. It’s a tired, disgusting argument, and it’s so totally predictable, and they’re failing so badly.”)

— Rauner Backs Up Rhetoric With Cash
http://foxillinois.com/news/local/rauner-backs-up-rhetoric-with-cash
http://foxillinois.com/news/local/gov-rauner-backs-up-promises
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We aren’t going to let the machine, the corrupt political machine, out spend us two, three, four, five times to one like they’ve done in other legislative races,” Governor Bruce Rauner said. “They’ve crushed us because they’ve got all that insider money.” Governor Bruce Rauner is backing up his promises with cash. He’s giving another $5 million to the Illinois Republican party. That brings his total up to $16 million so far this election cycle. House speaker Madigan runs a committee called the Democratic Majority which had $2.7 million on hand at the end of June. Rauner is hoping to win more seats in the general assembly this election, taking away the Democratic Super Majority.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Job hopping is now expected among professionals. In fact, LinkedIn’s March survey of more than 26,000 members found that job seekers don’t expect to stay with their employer for more than three years. But while company loyalty seemingly declines, there are still plenty of professionals out there who stay with their organizations. Employees, who are motivated by purpose, rather than money or status, are much more likely to stick around. According to the LinkedIn survey, 73 percent of those who find personal fulfillment in their work and want it to have an impact on the world, are satisfied with their jobs. They also tend to accept a job because of company culture, mission and values. Here’s how to attract these mission-driven job seekers.)

http://nypost.com/2016/08/21/huma-abedin-worked-at-a-radical-muslim-journal-for-10-years/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton’s top campaign aide, and the woman who might be the future White House chief of staff to the first female US president, for a decade edited a radical Muslim publication that opposed women’s rights and blamed the US for 9/11. One of Clinton’s biggest accomplishments listed on her campaign website is her support for the UN women’s conference in Bejing in 1995, when she famously declared, “Women’s rights are human rights.” Her speech has emerged as a focal point of her campaign, featured prominently in last month’s Morgan Freeman-narrated convention video introducing her as the Democratic nominee. However, soon after that “historic and transformational” 1995 event, as Clinton recently described it, her top aide Huma Abedin published articles in a Saudi journal taking Clinton’s feminist platform apart, piece by piece. At the time, Abedin was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs working under her mother, who remains editor-in-chief. She was also working in the White House as an intern for then-first lady Clinton.)

NEW YORK POST
— American journalism is collapsing before our eyes – Michael Goodwin
http://nypost.com/2016/08/21/american-journalism-is-collapsing-before-our-eyes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it. The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations. The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America. The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent. Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison. By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion. Liberal bias in journalism is often baked into the cake. The traditional ethos of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable leads to demands that government solve every problem. Favoring big government, then, becomes routine among most journalists, especially young ones. I know because I was one of them. I started at the Times while the Vietnam War and civil-rights movement raged, and was full of certainty about right and wrong. My editors were, too, though in a different way. Our boss of bosses, the legendary Abe Rosenthal, knew his reporters leaned left, so he leaned right to “keep the paper straight.” That meant the Times, except for the opinion pages, was scrubbed free of reporters’ political views, an edict that was enforced by giving the opinion and news operations separate editors. The church-and-state structure was one reason the Times was considered the flagship of journalism. Those days are gone. The Times now is so out of the closet as a Clinton shill that it is giving itself permission to violate any semblance of evenhandedness in its news pages as well as its opinion pages. A recent article by its media reporter, Jim Rutenberg, whom I know and like, began this way: “If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?” Whoa, Nellie. The clear assumption is that many reporters see Trump that way, and it is note­worthy that no similar question is raised about Clinton, whose scandals are deserving only of “scrutiny.” Rutenberg approvingly cites a leftist journalist who calls one candidate “normal” and the other ­“abnormal.” Clinton is hardly “normal” to the 68 percent of Americans who find her dishonest and untrustworthy, though apparently not a single one of those people writes for the Times. Statistically, that makes the Times “abnormal.” Also, you don’t need to be a ­detective to hear echoes in that first paragraph of Clinton speeches and ads, including those featured prominently on the Times’ Web site. In effect, the paper has seamlessly ­adopted Clinton’s view as its own, then tries to justify its coverage. It’s an impossible task, and Rutenberg fails because he must. Any reporter who agrees with Clinton about Trump has no business covering either candidate. It’s pure bias, which the Times fancies itself an expert in detecting in others, but is blissfully tolerant of its own. And with the top political editor quoted in the story as ­approving the one-sided coverage as necessary and deserving, the prejudice is now official policy. It’s a historic mistake and a complete break with the paper’s own traditions. Instead of dropping its standards, the Times should bend over backwards to enforce them, even while acknowledging that Trump is a rare breed. That’s the whole point of standards — they are designed to guide decisions not just in easy cases, but in all cases, to preserve trust. The Times, of course, is not alone in becoming unhinged over Trump, but that’s also the point. It used to be unique because of its adherence to fairness. Now its only standard is a double standard, one that it proudly ­confesses. Shame would be more appropriate.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings – JASON HOROWITZ  (DIERSEN: From what county(s) did your ancestors immigrate from and when?  All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s.  Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me.  What if I had successfully pretended to be of Swedish national origin?)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small Bavarian town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?” In the book, published in 1987, he wrote that his father’s story was “classic Horatio Alger,” and that his grandfather “came here from Sweden as a child.” Mr. Trump has been called to account for the discrepancy in the past, sometimes admitting it, sometimes not. In an interview in his Trump Tower office, he at first claimed not to know that his father pretended to be Swedish, saying: “Is that true? I don’t know.” He later acknowledged that the two of them would occasionally discuss the concealment of their heritage, explaining that his father “didn’t want to put any pressure” on his Jewish friends. “It was a very tough time,” he said. “We have a war, we are fighting a war with Germany,” said Mr. Trump, who was born a year after World War II ended.)
