CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner’s Illinois Republican Party – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Ever-increasingly, by his words and by his actions, Rauner and his allies make it clear that they want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to get rid of precinct committeemen/captains, township/ward party officers, county party officers, IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members, IRP offices, the IRP National Committeeman, the IRP National Committeewoman, etc. a) who support Trump and/or b) who oppose promoting LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, etc.  This is not new.  Since at least the 1970s, the IRP has been dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-Republicans.  Things are going to get even worse for Illinois Republicans as long as Illinois Republicans are prohibited from directly electing IRP SCC members.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-immigration-20170828-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Rauner’s campaign put an additional $500,000 into the Illinois GOP last week, further cementing it as an extension of the governor’s re-election. With the latest contribution, the governor personally or through his campaign fund has donated about $31.1 million to the state Republican Party since he became its nominee for governor in March 2014. Rauner donations account for 68.5 percent of the nearly $45.4 million that the state GOP has raised during that time period. The party also has gotten sizable donations from the House Republican campaign committee and some GOP candidates that occurred after they received big checks from the Rauner campaign. Rauner hasn’t been shy that he wants to erode the Democratic majorities in the General Assembly to help accomplish his agenda. The state GOP was a central repository for Rauner money for Republican legislative elections last year. During a stop in Marion last week, Rauner complained about the legislature’s Democratic dominance under House Speaker Michael Madigan and lamented court rulings that struck down attempts to put term limits and changes in legislative redistricting on the ballot as proposed constitutional amendments. “We need to get people elected in the legislature who support term limits and fair maps, and we’ll get this done. This is a goal we will never give up on. But they defeated us so far. But we’ll get it done,” he said.)
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner set to sign immigration bill Monday – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-immigration-20170828-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, opposed the measure and said Rauner would be better off being in Springfield and “working against a Chicago bailout” of its public schools. “I do not think this legislation is necessary,” McSweeney said of the immigration measure. “We don’t need to limit the ability of our police officers to enforce the laws.”)

— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner in Chicago, signs voter registration bill; immigration act next – Mitch Dudek
http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/rauner-in-chicago-to-sign-immigrant-rights-voter-registration-bills/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A slew of groups that advocate for the rights of undocumented residents are say the law offers the strongest state-level protections of the due-process rights of people facing deportation. “This bill will provide an unprecedented level of protection for Illinois’ half-million undocumented residents who could otherwise enter the deportation pipeline through any simple interaction with police, including a traffic violation or a call to report a crime,” according to a joint news release issued by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the National Immigrant Justice Center. “Once the TRUST Act is enacted, Illinois will be the gold standard for statewide protections against deportation.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Biggest Misconception About Today’s College Students – Gail O. Mellow  (DIERSEN: Do you have a degree from an Ivy League school?  While I have four college degrees, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that none of them are from Ivy League schools.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/opinion/community-college-misconception.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You might think the typical college student lives in a state of bliss, spending each day moving among classes, parties and extracurricular activities. But the reality is that an increasingly small population of undergraduates enjoys that kind of life. Of the country’s nearly 18 million undergraduates, more than 40 percent go to community college, and of those, only 62 percent can afford to go to college full-time. By contrast, a mere 0.4 percent of students in the United States attend one of the Ivies. The typical student is not the one burnishing a fancy résumé with numerous unpaid internships. It’s just the opposite: Over half of all undergraduates live at home to make their degrees more affordable, and a shocking 40 percent of students work at least 30 hours a week. About 25 percent work full-time and go to school full-time. The typical college student is also not fresh out of high school. A quarter of undergraduates are older than 25, and about the same number are single parents. These students work extremely hard to make ends meet and simultaneously get the education they need to be more stable: A two-year degree can earn students nearly 20 percent more annually than just a high school diploma.)

August 27 Evening Edition

NBC5
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner to Sign Immigration Bill Amid Conservative Backlash – Shelby Bremer (DIERSEN: Those who want Rauner to sign the bill also want Rauner to officially dump those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/politics/rauner-to-sign-illinois-trust-act-441922333.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some say the bill would turn Illinois into a “sanctuary state,” the term used for jurisdictions that do not comply with federal requests to detain undocumented immigrants who have been arrested on charges unrelated to their immigration status and turn them over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for possible deportation. President Donald Trump has made a concerted effort to crack down on these jurisdictions, signing an executive order in January to halt federal grants to so-called sanctuary cities. . .Often reluctant to discuss national political issues, particularly as they relate to Trump, Rauner will sign the bill – which received one Republican vote in the House and five in the Senate – on the final day of his 60-day window to act on the legislation ends, in a move that has already angered some of the state’s more conservative voters and pundits. Far-right website Breitbart News slammed the first-term governor for his support of the bill, sharing criticisms of the measure from conservative commentators like Rosanna Pulido, former Republican candidate for Congress and founder of the anti-immigration group Illinois Minutemen. “Personally I am already checking out a different state I can move to. It is truly a sad day in Illinois,” Pulido said, calling SB 31 “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” Former congressman and conservative radio host Joe Walsh tweeted Tuesday that Rauner is “done” if he signs the bill, adding that it would be a “bad terrible day for Illinois” and he would not support his reelection.)

COMMON DREAMS
— Chicagoans to March in Solidarity Against White Supremacists – Solidarity Against White Supremacy  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that do not join them in viciously demonizing, viciously denigrating, and viciously condemning those that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2017/08/27/chicagoans-march-solidarity-against-white-supremacists
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: CHICAGO – A coalition of Chicagoans representing more than 50 community and labor organizations will assemble at 2pm, Sunday, August 27 to say NO to white supremacists, and the political culture & public officials propagating hate, violence and inequality. Late Friday, knowing they would face massive opposition, neo-fascists in the Bay Area cancelled their planned events. Counter-protesters in the Bay Area decided to continue the plan to take their opposition to the bigots to the streets, and we will be doing the same here in Chicago. The Chicago event, entitled Solidarity Against White Supremacy, will begin at Federal Plaza, corner of Adams and Dearborn Streets, and march to near Trump Tower, corner of Wabash and Wacker Avenues. Solidarity Against White Supremacy is part of the National Weekend of Solidarity, a national effort to show support for community members planning to protest hate groups and other racists in San Francisco and Berkeley on the weekend of August 26-27. The rally comes in the wake of the Charlottesville violence and the inability of officials like President Trump and Governor Bruce Rauner to properly condemn it. “While many are prompted to protest the egregious responses of Trump, Rauner and others to the fascist hate and violence in Charlottesville, we also recognize that this hate has deep institutional roots in our country, and many of the policies pursued by politicians of both parties reinforce, rather than diminish it,” said Jaquie Algree vice president for external relations of SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana. “Depriving schools serving primarily Black and Brown youth of the music, art, sports and other programs enjoyed by wealthier, whiter students, closing public mental health clinics, slashing social services relied on by women and people of color, attacking unions, deporting millions of immigrants—all these are policies that reinforce the racism and other hate highlighted in Charlottesville.” Solidarity Against White Supremacy organizers note that the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, VA was but the most publicized in a string of neo-fascist terrorist attacks in the United States. In 2016, attacks on Muslims increased 67% over the preceding year. In May of this year, Black Bowie State student Richard W. Collins III was murdered by a neo-Nazi on the University of Maryland campus. In June, Richy John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche were murdered in Portland when they intervened to stop racist harassment of two young Black women. “When Trump says he wants to ‘make America great again,’ we know that he wants to turn the clock back to a time when few had the courage to oppose the racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate espoused by his core, ‘Alt-Right,’ neo-fascist supporters,” said Andy Thayer of the Gay Liberation Network. “It is no accident that Chicago is one of the cities where these organized creeps are at their weakest – On March 11, 2016, Chicagoans forced then-candidate Trump to cancel his rally at UIC. On August 27, Chicagoans will gather once again to tell white supremacists and anyone else with the intent to harm, that they are not welcome in Chicago.”)

In early 1971, after I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in August of 1970, my Firestone Store boss in Chicago Heights ordered me to clean the white walls on display tires that were hanging on the walls of the store showroom while the store was open. That prompted me to tell him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. He immediately flew into a rage, fired me, and threw me out of the store. Then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. That Firestone Store boss had not hired me — Firestone Stores regional office had hired me. In my opinion, that Firestone Store boss disapproved of many of my demographics including my religion and my national origin, but most of all, he disapproved that I had avoided the draft.)

— Group launches website in war on Illinois property taxes – Glenn Minnis
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511195487-group-launches-website-in-war-on-illinois-property-taxes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Homeowners Defense Association (HDA) has launched a website to counter the damage it sees as being done to homeowners across the state by virtue of the runaway property tax system. “DefendHomeowners.com will seek to mobilize homeowners by making them aware of how the state’s tax system is impacting their home,” HDA Executive Director Heidi Holan told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We will be advocating for tax reform and making people aware of what they can do about the current system.” With Illinois residents paying some of the highest property taxes in the country, Holan argues that the situation has reached a crisis point. “High property taxes are the biggest driver of all the outmigration you’re seeing across the state,” she said. “We want the cap to be somewhere around 1 percent; right now it’s at about 2.3 percent, or more than twice as high as where the national average is.” Holan said homeowners can start fighting back by making themselves aware of what options they have and to understand what level of power they hold by banding together. In addition to free individualized property tax reports, HDA members will receive free region-by-region property tax analyses. Membership is free.)

— OUTSTANDING: Republicans warn Rauner against making Illinois sanctuary state – Carrie Bradon
https://mchenrytimes.com/stories/511197146-republicans-warn-rauner-against-making-illinois-sanctuary-state
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six Republican legislators have sent a letter to Gov. Bruce Rauner to urge him to veto the state’s sanctuary bill, SB31, according to a press release. Under the bill, immigrants in Illinois would be provided with an extra level of protection, limiting the reach of federal agents. The letter, signed by Reps. Allen Skillicorn (R-Algonquin), David Welter (R-Morris), John Cabello (R-Machesney Park), Tom Morrison (R-Palatine), and Sens. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) and Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove), says elected officials, the federal government and law enforcement agencies are already dedicated to protecting individuals and the Constitution. “We agree in checks and balances, but the State should not interfere with lawful action by the federal government,” the letter says. Rauner is expected to sign the measure on Monday.)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Rauner opens a breach with conservatives over Sanctuary State – John Kass  (DIERSEN: What are the logical extensions of this?  Rauner just gave $500,000 to the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Logical extensions of Rauner’s dumping more and more and more planks in IRP platform include more and more and more pressure on the IRP National Committeeman, IRP National Committeewoman, IRP officers and State Central Committee members, county party officers, and township/ward party officers to dump those precinct committeemen and captains who support the planks that Runer has dumped. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their party’s platform. The more planks in the IRP platform that Rauner dumps, the more that Rauner dumps the IRP.  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the planks in the IRP platform that he has dumped?  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains who he has dumped?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-bruce-rauner-john-kass-0827-20170825-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner a leader being unmercifully squeezed by Chicago Machine Democrats?  Or is he just another transactional man, a politician without a core, lost in the winds and beginning to frighten his campaign contributors? . . . “I said this could be the last straw, and every day I’m feeling it worse,” state Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, told me in an interview. “And this isn’t just the ‘right wing’ that’s angry. These are union members too, loyal union men trying to protect American jobs, and the last thing they need to see is a Republican governor making Illinois a sanctuary state.” McCarter’s part of southern Illinois decidedly voted for President Donald Trump, largely on Trump’s call to control illegal immigration. “In this 15th Congressional District, the president won (with) 70 percent,” McCarter said. “And for the governor to go against the president — and make illegal immigrants a priority as we’re facing a fiscal crisis in Illinois — it’s just not good policy and it’s not good politics.” Rauner isn’t going to pick up votes of Democrats or Latinos if he signs the sanctuary state bill. On Friday, he vetoed a bill mandating a $15 minimum wage. He won’t get love from the left. But now he’s looking squishy to his base, and that’s disastrous. It will cost him votes in the suburbs and downstate. And he can’t give votes away. . .”If Rauner signs this Sanctuary State thing, and his office said he’s going to sign it, then he’s complicating the message Republicans will be using in the elections,” McCarter said. “We’ll have to say, we support the governor on some things and not on others. That’s not what you want. That not a unified message. That’s not good politics. And it just makes the state House and Senate races more difficult.”)

In today’s dollars in 1966, I earned $9.49/hour.

In December of 1967, I sold it and used that money and money that I had earned and saved delivering mail to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442.)

It came after Mr Trump failed to condemn white supremacists in his initial response to the violence in Charlottesville, which left one woman dead. The US leader was criticized after he blamed the violence on “many sides”.)

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— VIDEO: Illinois Policy Institute fires back at Rauner over cartoon
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/276023330-video#/

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner dumps recently rebuilt press team following missteps, cartoon controversy – Rick Pearson, Monique Garcia and Kim Geiger  (DIERSEN: Who exactly are the “enemies” that Rauner refers to?  Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs shout at Rauner that his enemies are those like me who promote the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. They shout at Rauner that his worst enemies are those like me who promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks.  They shout at Rauner that his worst enemies are those like me who oppose patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and vices including booze, gambling, and pot. They shout at Rauner that he should not read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-staff-shakeup-met-0825-20170824-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Later in the day, at an event in Naperville, Rauner acknowledged the difficulty of working in government. “The work that we do for the people of Illinois is incredibly difficult and very stressful. It’s a burnout, high stress, it’s hard on people’s families,” the wealthy former equity investor told reporters. As for what he feels is his repeated difficulty in getting his message out, Rauner called the communications effort “incredibly hard because we have attacks, we have political attacks coming 20 times a day, we have social media attacks coming 100 times a day, we have false rumors planted that have to be dealt with or responded to” in addition to “legitimate questions” from the media. “It is really hard, really hard, and we need to do all that while also getting out the message about the positive changes that we are trying to drive and the wonderful work that we’re doing on a bipartisan basis, wonderful legislation that we’ve been able to achieve,” he said. But in the earlier conference call to staff, Rauner maintained there was a larger, even more encompassing messaging mission — the need to counter his “enemies.” “The reality is in addition to the enemies on the other side of the aisle (Democrats), we have enemies in the media and enemies who should be on our side, some of them former members of the administration,” the source recounted Rauner as saying.)

— Rauner Shakes Off Staff in Latest Upheaval – Amanda Vinicky (DIERSEN: Rauner says he does “not lean on” the Illinois Policy Institute. Rauner should “lean on” the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Because Rauner ran as a Republican and got elected as a Republican in Illinois, Rauner obligated himself to defend and advance the IRP platform.)
http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2017/08/24/rauner-shakes-staff-latest-upheaval
http://video.wttw.com/video/3004092740/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite reporters repeatedly asking him Thursday whether he finds the cartoon racist, Rauner would only say he understands why “some people are upset by it.” “I’m not apologizin’ for anything that I have nothing to do with. Let me be crystal clear. And that organization (the IPI) that did that cartoon, they should talk to you about what their views are on it, and I’m not gonna,” he said. “I have fought for racial justice, equality of opportunity, my whole life.” Despite being a previous donor to the IPI and close ties to John Tillman, the intitute’s chief executive, Rauner denied the assertion that it’s his “go-to think tank.” “A tiny fraction of our administration is from that organization,” he said. “And they in no regard, in no regard, does that organization speak for me or our administration, and I do not lean on them for any particular issue or policy.”)

THE BLAZE
— The SPLC calls Christians a “hate group.” Now, Christians are fighting back. – Aaron Colen
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/24/the-splc-calls-christians-a-hate-group-now-christians-are-fighting-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Southern Poverty Law Center has been trying to marginalize Christian beliefs for a while. Now, Christians are pushing back.
D. James Kennedy Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has sued the SPLC for labeling it as an “active hate group” because it holds to traditional Christian views on homosexuality and marriage. Why would a Christian ministry be a hate group? As sexual orientation and gender identity have become “civil rights” issues on the front lines of the culture wars in the United States, people and organizations, particularly churches, that do not support LGBTQ lifestyles are increasingly under fire from mainstream media and organizations like the SPLC, who claim these religiously-based beliefs are bigoted and discriminatory. Christianity, at its core, is about love. By designating a Christian organization as a hate group, the SPLC is pursuing a culture in which disagreement with the mainstream equals hate. “It’s completely disingenuous to tag D. James Kennedy Ministries as a hate group alongside the KKK and neo-Nazis,” Kennedy Ministries spokesman John Rabe said to Fox News. “We desire all people, with no exceptions, to receive the love of Christ and his forgiveness and healing. We unequivocally condemn violence, and we hate no one. “It’s nothing more than an attempt to bulldoze over those who disagree with them, and it has a chilling effect on the free exercise of religion in a nation built on that,” Rabe continued. “We decided not to let their falsehoods stand.” I’ve never heard of D. James Kennedy. Why should I care? The SPLC’s attacks on Christian organizations are significant to all Christians. The SPLC has a storied history of taking up noble causes and using the law to bring justice and fight legitimate hate. The SPLC did significant damage to the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s, for example. Because of that history, the SPLC is an influential voice in shaping public perception of organizations. Categorization as a hate group by the SPLC leads to increased animosity and opposition from the culture at-large. For churches, that opposition can hinder them from serving communities both at home and worldwide. Religious freedom is a form of free speech, and irresponsible attacks from the SPLC and others on religious expression aren’t likely to stop with churches. Aggressively suppressing the views of certain groups, especially when you have to twist their message in order to do so, is a slippery slope. “These false and illegal characterizations have a chilling effect on the free exercise of religion and on religious free speech for all people of faith,” a statement from Kennedy Ministries read. “After having given the SPLC an opportunity to retract, we have undertaken this legal action, seeking a trial by a jury of our peers, to preserve our own rights under the law and to defend the religious free speech rights of all Americans.”)

— Why Is the Southern Poverty Law Center Targeting Liberals? – AYAAN HIRSI ALI
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/opinion/southern-poverty-law-center-liberals-islam.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the violence in Charlottesville 10 days ago, when white supremacists left one young woman dead and 19 others injured, the Southern Poverty Law Center has hit the jackpot. The Alabama-based nonprofit is set to receive millions of dollars in donations from some of the nation’s deepest of pockets. Apple pledged $1 million. JP Morgan Chase & Co.: half a million. George and Amal Clooney even got in on the action, promising to donate another $1 million. Like every other decent American, I was outraged that the president of the United States equivocated in condemning neo-Nazi activity in this country. Nazism — not to mention white supremacy and racial bigotry — has no place in a civilized society. But is donating money to the S.P.L.C. the best way to combat this poison? I think not. If Tim Cook and Jamie Dimon had done their due diligence, they would know that the S.P.L.C. is an organization that has lost its way, smearing people who are fighting for liberty and turning a blind eye to an ideology and political movement that has much in common with Nazism. I am a black woman, a feminist and a former Muslim who has consistently opposed political violence. The price for expressing my beliefs has been high: I must travel with armed security at all times. My friend and collaborator Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight. Yet the S.P.L.C. has the audacity to label me an “extremist,” including my name in a “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists” that it published on its website last October.)

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/25/republican-party-trump/104938176/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Still cleaning up after President Donald Trump’s comments about a deadly protest in Virginia, the Republican National Committee is headed toward adoption of a resolution condemning white supremacists. And while the rebuke of groups Trump waffled on is expected to pass overwhelmingly Friday, some attending the summer meeting of the party’s most faithful are rolling their eyes at the move. “It’s amazing that we have been lured into this argument that we’re not racists. It’s absurd,” said Colorado Republican Chairman Jeff Hays. “Why would we feel compelled to do that?” The grumbling reflects a difference between some veteran Republicans concerned about the party’s image in light of Trump’s latest rhetorical thicket and newer, more ardently pro-Trump state Republican leaders. “There’s no debate. We’re affirming we’re the party of Lincoln,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said, dismissing complaints about the resolution. “We are showing the moral high ground by disavowing hate and violence.”)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/j-p-morgans-hate-list-1503619180
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corporate America will do almost anything to stay on the safe side of public opinion—at least as it’s defined by the media. CEOs will apologize, grovel, resign, settle. They will even, as of this month, legitimize and fund an outfit that exists to smear conservatives. The press is still obsessing over President Trump’s incompetent handling of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., and that has suited some profiteers just fine. The notorious Southern Poverty Law Center is quietly cashing in on the tragedy, raking in millions on its spun-up reputation as a group that “fights hate.” Apple CEO Tim Cook informed employees that his company is giving $1 million to SPLC and matching employee donations. J.P. Morgan Chase is pitching in $500,000, specifically to further the SPLC’s “work in tracking, exposing and fighting hate groups and other extremist organizations,” in the words of Peter Scher, the bank’s head of corporate responsibility. What Mr. Scher is referring to is the SPLC’s “Hate Map,” its online list of 917 American “hate groups.” The SPLC alone decides who goes on the list, but its criteria are purposely vague. Since the SPLC is a far-left activist group, the map comes down to this: If the SPLC doesn’t agree with your views, it tags you as a hater. Let’s not mince words: By funding this list, J.P. Morgan and Apple are saying they support labeling Christian organizations that oppose gay marriage as “hate groups.” That may come as a sour revelation to any bank customers who have donated to the Family Research Council (a mainstream Christian outfit on the SPLC’s list) or whose rights are protected by the Alliance Defending Freedom (which litigates for religious freedom and is also on the list). Similarly put out may be iPhone owners who support the antiterror policies espoused by Frank Gaffney’s Washington think tank, the Center for Security Policy (on the SPLC’s list). Or any who back the proposals of the Center for Immigration Studies (on the list). These corporations are presumably in favor of the SPLC’s practice of calling its political opponents “extremists,” which paints targets on their backs. The group’s “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists” lists Mr. Gaffney (who worked for the Reagan administration); Maajid Nawaz (a British activist whose crimes include tweeting a cartoon of Jesus and Muhammad ); and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a Somali refugee who speaks out against Islamic extremism). The SPLC has tarred the respected social scientist Charles Murray, author of the well-regarded book “Losing Ground,” as a “white nationalist.” Mr. Murray has been physically assaulted on campus as a result. He happens to be married to an Asian woman and has Asian daughters, so the slur is ludicrous. But what’s a little smearing and career destruction if J.P. Morgan Chase gets some good headlines? It isn’t only the lists. An honest outfit tracking violent groups would keep to straightforward descriptions and facts. Instead, the SPLC’s descriptions of people are brutally partisan, full of half-truths and vitriol designed to inspire fury. We’ve seen what this kind of fury can do in Europe, with the murder of Theo Van Gogh, the controversial filmmaker, by a Dutch-Moroccan Islamic fanatic. Ms. Hirsi Ali, who had worked with Van Gogh, still travels with security—and J.P. Morgan thinks it appropriate to further target her? In 2012 a gay-marriage supporter named Floyd Corkins smashed into the Family Research Council’s headquarters and shot a security guard. He told police he was inspired by the SPLC’s “hate group” designation. Had the companies done a bit of homework, they’d have discovered the SPLC isn’t even considered a sound charity. Karl Zinsmeister excoriated the outfit in a recent article for Philanthropy Roundtable: “Its two largest expenses are propaganda operations: creating its annual list of ‘haters’ and ‘extremists,’ and running a big effort that pushes ‘tolerance education’ through more than 400,000 public-school teachers. And the single biggest effort undertaken by the SPLC? Fundraising. On the organization’s 2015 IRS 990 form it declared $10 million of direct fundraising expenses, far more than it has ever spent on legal services.” Apple did not return a call to its media center. J.P. Morgan Chase, in an emailed statement, said only that it has a “long history of supporting a range of organizations that are committed to addressing inequality.” The corporate donations are nonetheless appalling, as they legitimize a group that already exercises inappropriate influence. The SPLC’s list is cited regularly by the media and congressional Democrats, ignorant or uncaring of its falsehoods. The charity tracker GuideStar for a time attached warning labels to philanthropies flagged by the SPLC. This undermines the fight against truly hateful groups. Comparing pro bono lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom to hood-wearing KKK members only make the Klan seem more innocuous. Blackballing mainstream groups only silences the moderate voices the country needs to fight hate and bigotry. Corporations have a role to play in calming today’s divisions. This is the opposite.)

The cartoon was meant to be an illustration of the conservative group’s view on SB1, but critics said it injected a derogatory racial element into the ongoing debate over the education funding bill. – Natasha Korecki (DIERSEN: Who is responsible for keeping Governor Rauner and all the other Illinois Republican elected officials and party leaders up to date with Illinois government and political news and commentary? Please join me in urging Governor Rauner and all the other Illinois Republican elected officials and party leaders a) to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, or if not that, to require their staff to read the emails and to keep them up to date and b) to assure that diersen@aol.com is kept on their press release lists and their press advisory lists.)

That was the best way, he figured, to revive a community he remembered from his childhood as being safer, more prosperous, with better public schools and less liberal politics. It was his final effort trying to make things work in California. Mr. Chabot lost by 12 points. By Thanksgiving, he, his wife, Brenda, and their four children were touring North Texas in a rented S.U.V. looking for a new home. In the language of political science, they were sorting. The Chabots left a part of the country where they believed they no longer fit in as conservatives for a new community where they felt sure they would. “I see it even more boldly — as escaping,” Mr. Chabot said from McKinney, Tex., where the family settled this year.)

GOVERNING
— These Governors Are Rich, But Are They Effective?  The wealthy are increasingly seeking their state’s highest office. Winning has been the easy part. – LOUIS JACOBSON
http://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-rich-governors-effectiveness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2014, Rauner, whose money came from private equity, used his fortune to defeat incumbent Illinois Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. In the primary, Rauner spent $16 million and won by three percentage points in a four-way race. In the general election, he spent $54 million. “We’ve never had a candidate for governor in my 40 years watching politics who even came close to having Rauner’s financial resources,” says Bernard Schoenburg, a political columnist at The State Journal-Register in Springfield, Ill. “It enabled him to get his message across on lots of platforms.” . . . The poster child for difficult governorships, however, has been Rauner’s. His ongoing budget war with the Democratic-controlled legislature has drawn threats of junk bond status from credit ratings agencies and loss of university accreditation following two years of steep cuts and unpaid bills. “Rather than recognize that he had to deal with strong pro-labor Democratic legislative majorities in a blue state,” says Kent Redfield, a University of Illinois-Springfield political scientist, “he pushed a strong anti-union, right-to-work agenda from the beginning that unified all parts of labor against him.” And those weren’t the only enemies Rauner made, Redfield says: The governor “tried to hold the budget hostage to leverage his ‘Turnaround Agenda,’ which initially included tort reform and cuts in social services spending to health facilities in addition to anti-collective bargaining, worker’s comp reform and pension reform measures. This unified the major funders of the Democratic Party against him — labor, the trial lawyers, and the hospitals and nursing homes.” . . . In Illinois, at least two wealthy Democratic candidates are expected to run: J.B. Pritzker and Chris Kennedy. Given Rauner’s willingness to spend from his own pocketbook, a credible Democratic candidate who’s wealthy would have a huge leg up. “People think the race could cost each side a far-unprecedented $150 million,” Schoenburg says.)

— ROSKAM: TRUMP’S COMMENTS ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE “NOT ACCEPTABLE”
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/roskam-trumps-comments-about-charlottesville-not-acceptable-.html
(FROM THE COMMENTS: Nancy Thorner said…I never thought I would have to speak unkindly about you, Peter, but you seem to have become unhinged by wanting to follow other Republicans who are too afraid to stand up for what is the truth, that there was violence on both sides, fearing backlash from a dishonest media who is poisoning the minds of the American people against Trump. I think it might be time for you to retire from politics. We don’t need spineless Republicans in office who can’t support Trump because you don’t wish to explain to your constituents how they are being lied to by the media,the Left, and by irresponsible and turncoat Republicans. I’m appalled by the two Bush presidents, but they never liked Trump in the first place because of Jeb’s loss. Regarding Ryan and McConnell, these establishment politicians must go. They have continually thwarted Trump at accomplishing all he has attempted to do since he was sworn into office. All I can conclude is that Republicans by supporting the Left with their condemnation of Trump, don’t care if they destroy this nation in the process. Don’t you understand how the Left, the Deep state, and other forces — led by George Soros — are doing all possible to discredit President Trump. It is George Soros who is sending the violent goon squads where ever needed to cause destruction and chaos, Peter.)

— Rauner names names — says Trump’s Virginia remarks ‘damage America’ – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: According to anti-Trumps, if you condemn what Trump says or does, you not only condemn Trump, you condemn everyone who voted for Trump.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-calls-trump-out-says-virginia-remarks-damage-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After months of refusing to even utter President Donald Trump’s name, Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday called his fellow Republican out for remarks that “damage America,” saying he “vehemently disagrees with the president’s comments about the tragedy in Charlottesville.” The rare mention of Trump’s name came on Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair after reporters asked the governor about the president’s comments in New York on Tuesday that “both sides” are to blame for the violence in Virginia. “I vehemently disagree with the president’s comments about the tragedy in Charlottesville,” Rauner said. “I vehemently disagree with the president’s comments. We must stand together against hatred and racism and bigotry and violence and we must condemn those actions in Charlottesville in the strongest terms.” The governor was asked why he still would not mention Trump’s name. “I just said ‘president,’” Rauner said. “President Trump. I vehemently disagree with his comments. We have to condemn that sort of action those actions by frankly disgusting despicable white supremacist groups, we’ve got to call them that and we’ve got to condemn their actions.” Trump has sparked outrage with his response to the violent weekend  protests by white supremacist groups that ended in three deaths — a woman killed when a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters and two Virginia state troopers killed in a helicopter crash while doing surveillance. On Saturday, Trump said “many sides” are to blame.  Then after two days of criticism from Democrats and Republicans, he read a statement Monday declaring “racism is evil” and specifically describing the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists as “criminals and thugs.” But on Tuesday he reverted back  to his initial take on the situation, saying “very violent” counter-protesters in Charlottesville  — whom the president dubbed “the alt-left” — share in the blame. “You look at both sides,” Trump told reporters at Trump Tower in New York.  “I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it. And you don’t have any doubt about it, either.” Dating back to last year’s presidential campaign, Rauner has walked a careful line with Trump, distancing himself from the billionaire developer and reality TV star to avoid alienating moderate Republicans or independents in the blue state of Illinois. But Rauner has largely sidestepped harsh criticism to avoid a backlash from Trump supporters who also back the governor. For the most part, Rauner has steadfastly refused to even discuss Trump. In February, Rauner boycotted a dinner the president hosted for 46 governors at the White House during the National Governors Association meeting. Rauner left Washington early, rather than risk being photographed with Trump. Rauner had his own stumble responding to the Charlottesville protests. On Monday he condemned the “racism, hatred and violence” as “appalling” and “completely beyond anything that America should be about.” But the governor hesitated in calling it “terrorism.” He did so hours later — after saying he consulted with law enforcement — saying the Charlottesville tragedy was “absolutely an act of domestic terrorism.” Rauner showed no hesitation on Wednesday in denouncing Trump’s take on the situation. “What I care about is the comments damage America,” Rauner said. “We are all Americans. It doesn’t matter what party. It doesn’t matter who we vote for. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we stand for justice and fairness and equality. That’s what America is about and racism and bigotry and violence has no place in our society.”)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/democrats-republicans-finally-agree-think-tanks-cartoon-is-s/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An emotional state Rep. Jaime Andrade brought lawmakers to their feet on Wednesday in denouncing an Illinois Policy Institute cartoon that depicted a young African-American boy from Chicago begging for money for school from a wealthy white man with half empty pockets. The North Side Democrat denounced the cartoon as “s—,” prompting Democrats to rise to give him a standing ovation, with Republicans quickly joining in. The conservative think tank defended the cartoon, arguing it was not racist, but late Wednesday took it down from the organization’s web site, saying the controversy was a distraction from the real issue, “the failure of political leaders to address the root cause of our struggling education system.” The cartoon was intended to depict how Chicago doesn’t use TIF funds for education — amid the conservative think tank’s push to have Chicago deal with its pension mess outside of the school funding debate. Both the governor and the institute believe Chicago is using its TIF districts to hide property tax money, thus needing more money from the state. But the image sparked anger and emotion on the floor, from both sides of the aisle. The debate over the image began on Twitter when state Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago, called it a “Sambo” cartoon. The man in the cartoon is showing the child an empty pocket on his right, with “TIF $” coming out of his left pocket. The child is sitting on the floor with a backpack, a Cubs hat and holding a sign that reads “Need money 4 school.” “Are you saying that wealthy white businessmen are not using TIF to take money from black and brown kids?’ the Illinois Policy Institute tweeted in an exchange with Mitchell. Mitchell, in turn, argued that the group could have “drawn another kid. “You could have drawn an african american child without exaggerated features (ie lips),” he wrote. “But you made a different choice, one that links to a dark and troubled history,” Mitchell tweeted.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner breaks Trump silence, criticizes president’s Charlottesville response – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: According to anti-Trumps, if you condemn what Trump says or does, you not only condemn Trump, you condemn everyone who voted for Trump.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-republicans-fair-met-0817-20170816-story.html
(FROM THE RTICLE: After steering clear of discussing President Donald Trump or even uttering his name for many months, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday issued a harsh denunciation of the president’s take on the deadly Virginia protest. “I vehemently disagree with the president’s comments about the tragedy in Charlottesville,” Rauner said. “We must stand together against hatred and racism and bigotry and violence and we must condemn those actions in Charlottesville in the strongest terms.” “What I care about, the comments damage America. We are all Americans. It doesn’t matter what party, it doesn’t matter who we vote for,” Rauner told reporters after arriving for Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair on a Harley-Davidson, his traditional method of entry. “What matters is that we stand for justice and fairness and equality. That’s what America is about. And racism and bigotry and violence has no place in our society.” Rauner’s pushback to Trump contrasted with a morning breakfast and an afternoon Republican rally where the governor didn’t mention the president’s much-criticized Tuesday remarks in which he equated neo-Nazi and white supremacist protesters with counterprotesters. The traditional Republican rally featured no Trump signs, though a vendor was selling red Trump-themed “Make America Great Again” hats. Still, the controversies swirling around the president hung over the festivities much like the rain clouds over the fairgrounds. Rauner’s Trump comments came two days after he initially told reporters in Chicago that he could not say that the death of protester Heather Heyer, who was mourned at Wednesday services after being struck Saturday by a car driven by a white supremacist supporter, was an act of “domestic terrorism.” Later, Rauner’s office issued a statement saying the governor “absolutely” believed the death to be domestic terrorism. The governor’s reticence in mentioning Trump or responding to his comments and programs dates back to at least March 2016, when Rauner said he would support the eventual Republican presidential nominee without ever saying Trump’s name. Later that month, Rauner told north suburban school children he was “horrified” by the rhetoric of the GOP presidential campaign without naming Trump. In addition, the governor notably skipped last year’s GOP national convention in Cleveland where Trump was nominated. Rauner’s cautious Trump strategy didn’t stop a federal super political action committee from airing ads last fall that aimed to connect Trump to the rest of Illinois Republicans. The unconventional president has presented a political conundrum for Rauner, the first-term GOP governor of a Democratic state who is seeking re-election next year. Rauner is actively seeking support from largely rural Downstate areas that backed Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton last year. But Rauner also must find a way to restore a base in the suburban collar counties that are a key area of support for a Republican running statewide. Though the collars traditionally lean Republican, all but McHenry County went for Clinton last year. By deciding to aggressively criticize Trump, Rauner may be abandoning an effort to try to find a middle ground that simply sought to avoid any mention of the controversial president, realizing that while more Downstate counties have been turning Republican, the number of voters there is far fewer than in the more populated Chicago suburbs. In addition, Rauner’s move against Trump also may be aimed at trying to regain support among crucial moderate suburban women. The governor could face challenges winning over that voting bloc following the budget and school funding disputes as well as his vow to veto a measure he once supported in concept to expand the availability of abortions under Medicaid and state employee health insurance. Rauner might not have much room for error. In 2014, he barely defeated a lackluster Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn by 4 percentage points, or roughly 140,000 votes, despite capturing every one of Illinois’ 102 counties save for heavily Democratic Cook County. On Wednesday, Rauner said the actions of neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville were “frankly, disgusting, despicable.” “White supremacists groups. We’ve got to call them that and we’ve got to condemn their actions,” the governor said. Rauner’s hand-picked state GOP chairman, Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, told reporters the weekend events in Virginia were “abhorrent.” But Schneider refused to respond to the president’s comments, at one point saying, “I’m not Donald Trump’s campaign manager. I don’t speak for the president of the United States.” Asked if Trump could hurt GOP chances next year, Schneider said, “I’m not Carnac and I’m not going to predict what’s going to happen in the future,” referring to the late TV host Johnny Carson’s character of a mystic soothsayer. But U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville took on Trump’s comments head on. Davis was on the Alexandria, Va., ballfield when a gunman wounded U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana and two Capitol police during a June GOP practice for a charity softball game. “I hope the president clarifies his remarks once again, and I hope the president can be a voice of calm and a voice of reason at a time where we can come together and stop the hate and the vitriol that we see in the American political climate today,” Davis said. “Frankly, anybody that wants to carry a Nazi flag on American soil is not good people and I disagree” with the president. Across town, the Illinois House approved a resolution 105-0 condemning the acts of violence in Charlottesville as domestic terrorism and repudiating white supremacists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and any other group that espouses hate. To a breakfast audience of largely Downstate GOP county chairmen, Rauner assailed Chicago and its “political machine” and predicted Republican values would lead to the ouster of his chief political nemesis, Democrat Michael Madigan, as speaker of the House. “We stand for liberty, individual freedom. We stand for personal responsibility,” Rauner said. “We stand for limited government that allows the individual to define himself or herself and thrive. We stand for low taxes.” Those values, the governor contended, would result next year in a nine-seat pickup in the Illinois House, where Republicans currently hold 51 seats to 67 for the Madigan-led Democrats. “The battle ahead of us is tough — boy it’s just tough,” Rauner acknowledged, because “our system is so broken.” “We’re up against an incredibly powerful political machine in Chicago. They have dictated the terms in our state for decades and they haven’t even run their machine really for the benefit for the people of Chicago. Just look at the unemployment. Look at the terrible schools. Look at the violence in Chicago. Look at the taxes going through the roof in Chicago,” said the governor, once again using the politics of geography to attack the Democratic-dominated city. Democrats, Rauner continued, “don’t run the government for the benefit of the people of central Illinois, southern Illinois or northwest Illinois or the suburbs of Chicago either. We have a broken political system run by a political machine in Chicago that’s run for the benefit of politicians and their cronies,” he said. While Rauner criticized the president’s Virginia comments, it was Trump who helped the Illinois GOP score a net gain of four House seats last November. Republican candidates outpolled Democratic incumbents in Downstate counties where Trump was rolling up 50- and 60-percentage-point margins.)

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/16/twelve-memorials-democrats-racist/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Democrats seeking the removal of historical memorials tied to racist history are serious, they should be tripping over one another to get in front of a camera and call for the removal of memorials and namesakes to Presidents Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Sen. Robert C Byrd. These five men had two things in common–all had a penchant for racism to one degree or another, and all were Democrats. Some of the memorials to them are monuments, some are groves, others are highways, bridges, colleges, and even cemeteries. Of course, the cemeteries ought not be disturbed, but they should be renamed if the Democrats are serious about rooting out the vestiges of racism.)

— Snubbed financier says he’ll belatedly pay up for Gov. Rauner’s prize-winning steer – Kim Janssen  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who discourage Republicans from donating money to help sponsor entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-state-fair-day1-0816-chicago-inc-20170815-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Financier R.J. D’Orazio — a big Rauner supporter — confirmed to Chicago Inc. on Tuesday that he had not paid the $20,000 because “I did not get any recognition.” D’Orazio said that when he initially committed to donate $10,000 to $15,000, he was told “there would be some kind of article in the Chicago Tribune” recognizing his donation to charities including the Illinois 4-H Club. D’Orazio did say Tuesday night that he would “be happy to wire the $20,000 first thing in the morning if someone tells me where to send it.” An auction organizer told Inc. that D’Orazio had been pursued for the money until March, when organizers finally gave up. Rauner, who was hailed as the record-breaking bidder last year, told Inc. he was unaware of D’Orazio’s failure to pay. “I haven’t heard that,” he said. D’Orazio’s failure to pay means the governor has been stripped — at least for now — of his status as the owner of the most expensive livestock sold at the state fair. The program for this year’s auction lists an earlier auction won for $100,000 as the highest amount ever bid. It records Rauner’s winning bid of last year as $84,000, listing “friends of the Wisnefski family” and D’Orazio’s investment firm, D’Orazio Capital Partners, as co-donors. D’Orazio said he intended to make the donation in a private capacity, not through his firm. He had seen Rauner at a fundraiser since last year’s auction but “the governor didn’t bring it up,” he said. He added, “I apologize. I didn’t realize that it was going to be put out that the governor was buying it on his own. I was doing a favor for a friend.”)

My CSRS pension is dramatically reduced because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  My Social Security is dramatically reduced because I get a CSRS pension.  Have you ever held more than one job at a time?  I did 1971-1972 while I worked full-time for IRS in Harvey and part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights.)

http://www.beloitdailynews.com/article/20170815/AP/308159796
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Attorney General Jeff Sessions says cities that refuse to share information with federal immigration authorities show a disrespect for the rule of law that is jeopardizing the “most fundamental duty of government” — ensuring public safety. Sessions planned to highlight cities that cooperate with federal immigration officials during a visit Wednesday to Miami. He is to be accompanied by Tom Homan, acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Miami-Dade County earlier this year reversed its “sanctuary city” policy, saying the county would honor requests to hold people for extra time so they can be arrested by immigration authorities. Local officials defended the decision, saying they wanted to keep receiving Justice Department grants for community policing. Both President Donald Trump and Sessions have threatened to end such funding for so-called sanctuary cities, which are broadly defined as places that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Trump says such jurisdictions provide a haven for criminal activity. Cities say such immigrant-friendly policies actually enhance public safety. The attorney general planned in a speech Wednesday to contrast Miami’s example with cities like Chicago, which is suing the federal government over the funding threats. “Miami-Dade is an example of what is possible through hard work and a rededication to the rule of law. It is proof that the entire nation can do better,” Sessions says in speech excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “The most fundamental duty of government is to ensure the safety and liberty of its people.” “Respect for the rule of law has broken down,” Session says. “In Chicago, their so-called “sanctuary” policies are just one sad example.”)

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/15/commentary-racism-in-america-is-the-symptom-identity-politics-is-the-disease/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bashing white men became so normalized that mainstream media outlets like Huffington Post, MSNBC, and Buzzfeed did it with impunity. Videos such as Questions Black People Want to Ask White People are posted on YouTube with millions of views. Netflix hosts a show called “Dear White People,” that paints white people as ignorant, and racist even if unintentionally. Overt racism had become trendy again, this time with whites as the target. This pop-racism inevitably resulted in violence, and radicalism. During the riot in Milwaukee, whites were actively targeted for assault and theft.)

In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, that all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s, and according to DNA Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

— Chance the Rapper gives out 30K backpacks to kids at parade – WBBM/CNN  (DIERSEN: What do you give out to others? I have given out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. Those emails have gone out each and ever morning since 2004, each and every evening since 2015, and they have included links to more than 278,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wtol.com/story/36123613/chance-the-rapper-gives-out-30k-backpacks-to-kids-at-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chance the Rapper led the way as grand marshal of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in the South Side. Chance, a native of the city’s Chatham neighborhood, donated 30,000 stuffed backpacks for children along the parade route. The parade, now in its 88th year, is a tradition meant to serve as a back-to-school send off. “This is the best thing they have every year,” said a parent on the route. Since education is the focus, funding for public schools was on the minds of parade-goers and city leaders. “Right now we are suffering in a racially discriminatory funding system that it hurts funding in our state,” said  Forrest Claypool, Chicago Public Schools CEO. And while Gov. Bruce Rauner made an appearance before the parade, he did not address the funding issue during the event. Mayor Rahm Emanuel did address the issue. “The state of Illinois has the responsibility not to just show at a parade, not just to cheer, but to actively put resources that taxpayers of the city of Chicago give the state and fund our education equitably and fairly,” Emanuel said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Guess who pays for those $150,000 Columbia journalism degrees? – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because neither my bachelor’s degree nor any of my three master’s degrees are in journalism. In my defense, much of what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Further, much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2  years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/guess_who_pays_for_those_150000_columbia_journalism_degrees.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is questionable is the issue of who pays for the degree. President Obama put limits on repaying back student loans at the 20-year mark, meaning anyone who takes out debt at the $150,000 level is only going to be repaying a fraction of that debt. The taxpayers will pick up the remainder of the tab. Should the taxpayers be paying for that? Particularly if the journalists being turned out end up being advocacy journalists on just one side of the political spectrum? That is worth asking. Cooper makes a very important point in noting that the federal incentives for taking out high-dollar loans and the abbreviated payment obligations make high-priced, questionable-value degrees on offer inevitable at places like Columbia, writing:)

MADISON
— 5 Figures That Define the Middle Class – Sean Williams  (DIERSEN: From what I see, because the cost of living is so high in DuPage County, you need way more than “$24,173 to $72,521” to live a middle class life style in DuPage County and save for your retirement.)
http://host.madison.com/business/investment/markets-and-stocks/figures-that-define-the-middle-class/article_71955a5b-e0d6-5ebc-befc-12e6528774f0.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. $24,173 to $72,521  First things first: we have to define what middle-class income actually is. According to Pew Research Center, which conducted a study on the shrinking middle class in late 2015, an individual would qualify for the middle class if he or she earned more than $24,173 in 2014 dollars, or less than $72,521. Pew’s official definition is income of between 67% and 200% of overall median household income. Back in 1971, some 80 million Americans were considered to be in the middle class, compared to 51 million Americans who were either lumped in the lower- or upper-income brackets. However, by 2015, there were 121.3 million lower- and upper-income Americans, combined (using Pew’s definition of 67% to 200% of median household income). This is compared to 120.8 million middle-income Americans. In a span of 44 years, the middle class had become the minority. . .4. Approximately 70% have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies It’s no secret that Americans aren’t good savers. The U.S. personal saving rate has dipped by more than 50% over the past five decades, and we’re saving nowhere near the recommended 10% to 15% of our paychecks. But it’ll probably shock you to see how bad the middle class is at socking away cash for emergencies. According to a survey from GoBankingRates in September 2016, 37% of persons bringing home $25,000 to $49,999 annually didn’t have a dime in savings, and another 35% had less $1,000. Similarly, 33% of the people making between $50,000 and $74,999 had $0 in savings, and 36% had less than $1,000. Essentially, 7 in 10 middle-class folks have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, which is scary low. . .5. Debt at 122% of annual household income The middle class has also been highly proficient at racking up debt over the past two-plus decades, according to data from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, which is conducted every three years. Though debt for middle-class households hit an all-time high of 140% of annual household income in 2010, the 122% of debt relative to annual household income that middle-class households are lugging around as of 2013 still isn’t good. Comparatively, this is also nearly double the debt burden that middle-class families were contending with in 1989.)
