— What did you do 17 years ago today? I attended the Bush/Cheney rally before the start of Naperville’s Labor Day parade and walked with Bush and Cheney in the parade.  I was one of those who rode a Bush/Cheney bus from the end of the parade to attend the Cheney rally at the Taste of Polonia festival. Earlier that year, I asked Governor George Ryan and Senate President Pate Philip to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FEBRUARY 17, 2017 FLASHBACK: Naperville’s links to presidents, from Buchanan to Bush – Suzanne Baker (DIERSEN: Did you attend the Bush/Cheney rally before the start of Naperville’s Labor Day parade in 2000 and did you walk with Bush and Cheney in the parade? I did. Earlier that year, I asked Governor George Ryan and Senate President Pate Philip to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a presidential candidate, then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush marched in the Last Fling’s Labor Day Parade in 2000 after holding a rally at Naperville North High School. It was on the rally stage before the speech when the candidate, who was oblivious the microphones were live, pointed out a veteran political reporter to his running mate Dick Cheney and said, “There’s Adam Clymer, major-league a—— from The New York Times.”)
— SEPTEMBER 6, 2000 FLASHBACK: Democratic and Republican staffers got together before their candidates’ Labor Day appearances at Chicago’s “Taste of Polonia” festival and agreed neither side would disrupt the other’s rally. Which is why the Tipper Gore-Hadassah Lieberman appearance and the Dick and Lynne Cheney rallies went off without any partisan bickering. – Ellen Warren & Terry Armour (DIERSEN: I was one of those who rode a Bush/Cheney bus from the end of Naperville’s Labor Day Parade to attend the Cheney rally at the Taste of Palonia festival.)

— School choice is not a panacea – Richard Hudson, Chicago (DIERSEN: Did you come from a poor family? Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as coming from poor families. They paint me as coming from an undeservedly filthy rich family because my parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are beyond furious that my wife and I pay only $5,763/year and the federal government pays $17,288/year for our health, dental, and vision insurance because I am a federal retiree. Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) want cheap labor, b) hate federal employees, and c) hate federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for almost 20 years.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PICTURE OF KRISNAMOORTHI: Krishnamoorthi pushes for more federal funding for career programs – Madhu Krishnamurthy  (DIERSEN: What have you done to qualify yourself for higher paying jobs?  I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. How have federal programs harmed your career? In 1971, when I was 22, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Democrats use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire and to get rid of their employees who are Republican, and especially those who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  To help them meet their AA, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— With DACA decision soon, immigration activists march to keep program intact – Nereida Moreno  (DIERSEN: Those who promote DACA say “Si se puede” (Spanish for “Yes, we can”) and Trump “makes a mockery” of the nation and “No matter who is in the White House, no matter who is in Congress, you were here before them and you will be here after them” and “Chicago is committed to being a welcoming city to everyone who wants to be here” and “This is our country. This is our home. A lot of us don’t even know what our native countries look like” and “We are asking everyone to please come together and help us to fight to stay in this country” and “At the end of the day, Dreamers are Americans too” and “Now we wait another day to see if the Trump administration will make 800,000 Dreamers outlaws with the stroke of a pen.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-daca-march-chicago-0904-20170903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 200 people marched 4 miles Sunday from a park in the Pilsen neighborhood toward U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in the South Loop to support the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program now under review by the Trump administration. Immigration advocates and supporters from several groups, including Black Lives Matter Chicago and Refuse Fascism, gathered at Harrison Park and chanted “Si se puede” (Spanish for “Yes, we can”) as they marched up 18th Street toward the Loop, calling on President Donald Trump to save the program created by the Obama administration that shields young immigrants from deportation and provides work permits for employment. Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, addressed the crowd and called on the country to be united, “regardless of color and origin.” He said Trump “makes a mockery” of the nation. “No matter who is in the White House, no matter who is in Congress, you were here before them and you will be here after them,” Lopez said. “Chicago is committed to being a welcoming city to everyone who wants to be here.” Karen Ramirez, 26, a Pilsen resident and DACA recipient, said she and fellow program recipients are productive members of society who are fighting for the chance to stay in America because they consider it home. “This is our country. This is our home. A lot of us don’t even know what our native countries look like,” Ramirez said. “We are asking everyone to please come together and help us to fight to stay in this country,” she said. “At the end of the day, Dreamers are Americans too.” Cecilia Garcia, a local immigration activist, said the program recipients are marching to mobilize their allies and to let the president know that there will be resistance if he moves to cancel the program. “Now we wait another day to see if the Trump administration will make 800,000 Dreamers outlaws with the stroke of a pen,” she said. The rally was organized by Familia Latina Unida. Former President Barack Obama launched the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012 for people who have been in the U.S. since 2007, were younger than 16 at the time of their arrival and were younger than 31 as of 2012. Those enrolled can legally drive and work, but they must reapply every two years. They are considered a low priority for immigration enforcement, though they are not protected from deportation. The Trump administration has until Tuesday to eliminate the program or face legal action from a group of Republican state lawmakers. Illinois has the nation’s fourth-largest population of DACA recipients — the highest share in the Midwest. At least 42,376 Illinoisans have been approved since March 31, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Current students, high school or GED course graduates and veterans are eligible for the program. They must be at least 15 to apply, unless they’re in removal proceedings or have a final removal or voluntary departure order. Immigrants who have committed a serious crime, have more than two misdemeanor convictions or are deemed to be a threat to national security are automatically disqualified. Nationally, about 68 percent of eligible immigrants have applied for the program since 2012, according to the Migration Policy Institute. More than 886,000 people have applied and 787,580 have been approved. The White House said a decision will be announced Tuesday.)

Because I have always been a Republican, they wasted my career and got rid of me. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Calling all candidates – Editorial (DIERSEN: In Illinois, you should run as a Republican only if you can and if you will defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  Illinois Republicans should defeat primary candidates who have acted against the IRP platform and/or who hint/imply/argue/shout that they will act against the IRP platform if elected/reelected. One could argue that because Rauner and his supporters act against more and more and more planks in the IRP platform, Rauner and his supporters should run as Independents.)
http://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20170902/our-view-calling-all-candidates
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Help Wanted: Seeking numerous people for often thankless job. Must be willing to work ridiculously long hours, be criticized by those also seeking this position, and be enthusiastic about shaking hands and kissing babies. Successful candidates will be able to raise significant amounts of money on a daily basis, keep their composure even when being yelled at, and be willing to defend every statement or idea they’ve ever shared. When considering the negative, it’s a wonder anyone runs for public office. But the positives can outweigh the negatives, especially for those who truly seek to be an agent for change in order to improve the lives of friends and neighbors, or who want to be a part of public policy decisions that right wrongs or benefit more people. It is those people — the ones who want to better their communities — we hope to see run for office in 2018. Besides the six statewide constitutional offices, all 18 of Illinois’ districts in Congress, 39 of the 59 seats in the state Senate and all 118 seats in the Illinois House are on the ballot. So are a number of county seats, including clerks, treasurers, sheriffs, assessors and county board members; regional superintendents of schools; and some judgeships. The 2018 election may have already seemed to be in full swing, largely because the race for governor has been prominent since the beginning of the year. But the actual kick-off to next year’s election starts Tuesday, if you go by the first date listed in the state Election Board’s 2018 Election and Campaign Finance Calendar. Sept. 5 marks the first day those from established political parties can begin circulating nomination papers to get their name on the ballot. Those nominating petitions you may be asked to sign in the coming weeks can’t be filed until Nov. 27 to Dec. 4, at which point the March 20 primary races will start to come into focus. It’s safe to assume there will be a Democratic primary race for governor, given that nine people have declared their intent to run. It’s possible on the Republican side, although a serious challenger has yet to emerge.)

— It’s time to build the wall and fix our immigration system – NED RYUN
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/348995-its-time-to-build-the-wall-and-fix-our-immigration-system
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With President Trump likely to undo Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) next week, it highlights yet again that our immigration system is fundamentally broken. Our system of admittance is a decades old program based largely on nepotism and family ties, rather than any logical system of governance that benefits Americans. Rather than recruiting and attracting the best talent from other countries, our immigration system prioritizes bringing entire families. Combine this with our costly policies that allow illegal immigration across our southern border and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Jim Acosta’s press conference temper tantrum demonstrated a number of Americans no longer realize why a country would even control the flow of immigration. They stammer and stomp their feet about what they believe America stands for, but unfortunately are entirely uninformed on the history of American immigration policy. During the 19th century, America largely had an open immigration policy as the country expanded and moved west, although, individual restrictions were placed on contract laborers, criminals, and in some cases entire countries. Those immigration laws were rewritten over the last century to implement greater controls over America’s immigration policies. These controls are especially necessary as progressives created greater and greater welfare programs. Like it or not, we are a welfare society. Whether it’s healthcare, social security, unemployment, housing, or any of the other myriad of benefits Americans receive. Just Social Security and Medicare make up nearly 40 percent of the federal budget. Throw in Medicaid and you’re getting close to 50 percent. Naturalizing more citizens and enrolling more individuals with green cards further encumbers our welfare system. We know our welfare system is hugely overburdened and threatens to be entirely insolvent by within 20 years. Thankfully, reforms in 1996 prevented those with green cards from receiving many federal benefits until they have lived in the country for at least five years and met work requirements, but we cannot pretend like admitting more people into the country has no effect. The legislation recently introduced in the Senate, named the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act (RAISE) bill, is not some racist screed. It’s a clear, point based immigration system, very similar to systems already in place in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Rather than admit people based on the luck of the draw or ties to family already in the country, the RAISE system grades specific qualities that are valuable for our society. That means more young, highly educated, fiscally prepared individuals that are likely to integrate well into American society. This merit based system would help attract some of the best talent from around the world to come to our country and become Americans. But unfortunately that’s just not enough to deal with our immigration problems. Without serious proposals that actually build a wall on our southern border, problems will just continue. When you hear the Democrats talk about the new plan for President Trump’s border wall, you’d be forgiven if you thought they were the party of fiscal restraint and responsible spending. They’re breaking out the apocalyptic language to call into question the need to secure America’s borders or do anything to prevent the stream of illegal immigrants. Which is ironic given the fact that roughly ten years ago, three Democrat Senators by the names of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted to fund the Yuma Sector Wall to stop the flow of illegal crossings (and now Yuma has seen a 70 percent decrease in illegal crossings since 2006). There are many costs involved with illegals coming into our country, from our education and health care systems to our welfare systems, but we cannot forget that one of the largest financial strains from increased illegal immigration is the increased cost for law enforcement and incarceration. Consider the Government Accountability Office’s study from 2011 in which 251,000 criminal illegals were found to have committed on average twelve crimes and been arrested on average seven times: hardly the best use of our law enforcement. That same study showed another interesting fact: 68 percent of the criminal illegals sitting in federal prison and 66 percent sitting in state prison were from one country: Mexico. In addition to law enforcement resources dedicated to repeatedly arresting the same criminal illegals, the cost to incarcerate criminal illegals is nearly two billion in some years: a study shows Americans paid $1.87 billion to “house imprisoned illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2014.” As more criminal illegals cross the border, that number will only increase. Those crimes not only harm Americans (and a great number of legal immigrants) but also sap valuable time from police officers. In California, thousands of prisoners were released early to make room for the tens of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants, which number over 72,000. This criminal element coming across the border also exacerbates the drug epidemic sweeping the country. Compare these annual costs of law enforcement work and incarceration costs to the cost of a wall, which some think for a wall of 1,250 miles could be as high as $21.5 billion. Considering our annual ongoing costs of dealing with criminal illegals alone and that still looks like a bargain. As much as media elites want to pretend otherwise, this common-sense policy approach with changing our immigration system and building a wall would protect American citizens and make America stronger by enticing the best workers in the world to immigrate by modernizing the system.)

 

POLITICO
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those who promote DACA argue that DREAMers should get sympathy because their parents brought them to America before they were adults. Should those like me get sympathy because their parents raised them to be Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), conservative, Republican, and/or American? Should those like me get sympathy because their parents are German American and/or because their ancestors came to America while slavery was still legal? Should those like me get sympathy because they were born White and/or male?  Were it not for my parents, I might very well be the following like more and more and more people are: anti-Trump, anti-MSL, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.

(THE COMMENT: Repute REPUGNANT “republican” Rauner as a DOUBLE AGENT Political Miasma The Republican Party of the 11th Ward of Chicago repudiates Bruce Rauner as a Democratic Party shill. RAUNER IS AN INFILTRATOR, a party-crasher working for the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party employs this Machiavellian strategy for decades. It is not just because he signed the Trust bill (SB31). He also promotes Islam over Christianity regarding advisers in Springfield. He is pro abortion. He also signed The Automatic Voter Registration Law, which makes our government automatically register anyone who updates their drivers license or state ID, as a voter. Bruce who amongst many lies, also said he wasn’t going to be involved in social issues, supports the deranged concept of “homosexual marriage”. Furthermore, public record shows that Bruce has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to several liberal Democrats such as Richard M. Daley, Ed Rendell, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. He is married to a liberal female who worked for Barack Obama, and brags that she and her husband Bruce are social justice warriors. The Republican Party of the shamelessly and notoriously corrupt 11th Ward of Chicago declares Bruce Rauner as a political cancer that has metastasized from Chicago throughout our United States of America, via the political schooling of the massively corrupt Daley family. Of course, this is all with nefarious collaboration of the Chicago press. Our United States of America is in her second civil war, although it is rather silent; Liberals are annihilating us Conservatives. We despise Bruce Rauner as repugnant and everything that is wrong with USA, politically. TRUST us. Carl Segvich – 11th Ward Republican Party Committeeman, Chicago)
— John F. Di Leo Comment
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/il-gop-warns-not-to-believe-misinformation-circulating-about-immigration-law.html
(THE COMMENT: We need a real conservative Republican candidate for Governor in this primary. One with some kind of elective office experience, as a decent size city mayor, or as a county chairman or sheriff, something like that, if we don’t have a good congressman or state legislator to run. Rauner will be defeated next November if he gets the nomination. This is just a fact, not just a wish. He maintained the tolerance of the GOP base until this summer, but his several capitulations this summer have killed whatever good will he had built up in the GOP. There is no reason for us to be enthused with him next November, so he cannot win. The GOP needs to recognize what it failed to recognize with the Mark Kirk seat in 2016 and the Percy seat in 1984: sometimes a candidate is lost before the election even arrives, so your best bet is to find some good new blood to run in the primary. We should’ve run Corcoran in 1984. We should’ve run Jack Ryan in 2004. We should’ve run James Marter in 2016 (or found a county chairman or sheriff to run instead)…Our only hope of saving the executive mansion – for this critical term that contains the next redistricting map – is if someone other than Bruce Rauner is the GOP nominee.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— A Clear Reading of SB 31 Reveals Illinois is Now a Sanctuary State – John Biver
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/clear-reading-sb-31-reveals-illinois-now-sanctuary-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is not difficult to understand the long-running dream of Leftists to import more future Democratic Party voters from other countries. Some of their most loyal supporters will be those who broke federal law to come here and were then protected by the Democratic Party. Leftists are talented when it comes to the strategic manipulation of language. Just as centuries-old mainline Christian doctrine is now referred to as “hate,” illegal aliens are referred to as “undocumented immigrants.” Tolerance now means intolerance. The “Affordable Care Act” made health insurance unaffordable for millions of Americans. The “Trust Act” means you can trust that we don’t care if you’re here illegally. As “blue” as Illinois is, Democratic Party leaders and their supporters know that even here you must be careful with language. And if you alter SB 31 enough, you can even deny it’s a sanctuary bill.

— Media and the Politics of Misdirection – Jack Hellner

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On a side note: As an Illinois resident, I am so proud to have a pretend-Republican governor who believes being a sanctuary state is the way to go. As Illinois chases away taxpayers and businesses with higher taxes, he welcomes in more illegal immigrants. That will obviously help Illinois. Our politicians are so brilliant in Illinois that we have a 16% maximum estate tax while many states have zero. It seems to be above the comprehension of Madigan and others to understand why the wealthy move away or won’t come to spend and invest their money here. It is such a tough concept to understand. Does Rauner think Madigan, Emanuel, other Democrats and reporters will now be more receptive to Rauner and will support him in the next election, because he welcomes people willing to break our immigration laws?)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— OUTSTANDING: TWO IL GOP LAWMAKERS (John Cabello and David McSweeney) FILE EFFORT TO REPEAL SANCTUARY LAW
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/two-il-gop-lawmakers-file-effort-to-repeal-sanctuary-law.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Two Illinois Republican state reps are very concerned about the immigration law enforcement measure Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law Monday. State Reps. John Cabello (R-Rockford) and David McSweeney (R-Barrington) filed a measure Wednesday that would repeal a new law banning law enforcement in Illinois from stopping persons suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. “I swore to uphold the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions when I became a legislator,” Cabello told Illinois Review Wednesday. “As a member of law enforcement, I took a vow to uphold the law. I believe and trust in those oaths, and intend to do all I can to keep them.” The law many are referring to as the “sanctuary law” says law enforcement “shall not” detain or continue to detain any individual solely on the basis of any immigration detainer or non-judicial immigration warrant. Law enforcement “shall not” stop or arrest anyone solely based on the person’s immigration or citizenship status. They are, however, not banned from implementing a “valid” judge-issued federal warrant concerning any suspects. That is the definition of a sanctuary law, Cabello bill co-sponsor David McSweeney told Illinois Review. He pointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ office comments on the law. “As the Attorney General has said, when cities and states refuse to help enforce immigration laws, our nation is less safe,” DOG spokesman Devin O’Malley told Fox News. “Failure to deport aliens who are convicted for criminal offenses puts whole communities at risk – especially immigrant communities in the very sanctuary jurisdictions that seek to protect the perpetrators.” The attorney general’s views were totally disregarded in a missive sent out by the Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider and County Chairman Association President Randy Pollard Monday night after Rauner signed the bill into law in front of an enthusiastic Latino audience in Chicago. “I think it is important that people know what Attorney General Sessions thinks about SB 31. Tim Schneider, the chief cheerleader for the ‘Capitol Compromise’ massive tax hike is now presenting more ‘alternative facts,'” McSweeney said. Cabello said lawmakers are supposed to do what’s best for those that are bearing the financial burden for decisions they make at the capitol. Not doing so will ultimately create consequences that political parties may not want, such as the base simply staying home in 2018. “People are telling me they’re so fed up with the party leaders and the governor that they’re just not going to go to the polls in 2018. That’s the opposite of what they should do,” Cabello, who co-chaired the Trump campaign in Illinois, said. “They need their voices to be heard loud and clear. Staying home is not an option.” Only one Republican House member – Bob Pritchard – voted in support of SB 31 on the House floor. Four Republicans – McConchie, McConnaughay, Nybo and Radogno – supported it in the Illinois Senate. Cabello and McSweeney’s repeal bill is HB 4091.)

— DEMOCRATIC WHITE MEN HIT “GLASS CEILING” – RUSS STEWART  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, a) anti-Whites demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites as being racists and b) anti-men demonize, denigrate and condemn men as being sexists.  Overwhelmingly, anti-Whites and anti-men are Democrats.)
http://www.russstewart.com/articles/2017/08-30-2017.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tokenism, as an adjective defined by Webster’s Dictionary, is an act merely simulated, of slight or no account. As a noun, it is an act of accommodation to a demand by slight and merely formal concessions. For Democrats in Cook County, August’s slatemaking for their 2018 ticket was both a noun and an adjective, particularly regarding white men. Of the 16 candidates endorsed by the party for countywide offices, including judges, a grand total of three are while males, or about 18 percent. In the Democratic Party, men have hit the proverbial “glass ceiling.” Having a white man on the ticket is now of slight or no account. Of the remaining 13, seven are black, of which four are black women. That’s 44 percent. Seven are women. That’s another 44 percent. And two are Hispanics. That’s just 12 percent. As a noun, every key Democratic constituency got more than token accommodation. White males are no longer a key constituency. As expected, the Big Three – County Board president Toni Preckwinkle, House Speaker and state Democratic chairman Mike Madigan, and Alderman Ed Burke (14th) – did the dictating, with Burke picking the judges, and the 50 city and 30 suburban committeemen did the capitulating. Preckwinkle is expanding her empire exponentially, and is at the top of the heap. In the 2016 cycle, Preckwinkle engineered the slating of her county aide, Kim Foxx, for state’s attorney. She easily beat incumbent Anita Alvarez in the primary. She also worked with Madigan, dispatching another aide, Juliana Stratton, to run against independent-minded Ken Dunkin, who had the temerity to defy Madigan on several Illinois House votes. With a flood of Madigan money, Stratton buried Dunkin, and Madigan got another ally in Springfield. Now Preckwinkle and Madigan have worked again, plunking Stratton on J.B. Pritzker’s ticket for lieutenant governor in the March 2018 primary, and then delivering an endorsement of Pritzker for governor. Crafting a Pritzker-Stratton ticket sealed the deal, and Preckwinkle delivered all the black committeemen at slatemaking. And finally, another former Preckwinkle aide, Kim du Buclet, now a state representative, got slated for the 2-year Metropolitan Water Reclamation District term, beating a Hispanic backed by state Representative Luis Arroyo (D-3), and a longtime insider and donor associated with the North Shore Realtors. In the slating for county clerk, a job David Orr is relinquishing after 28 years, Recorder Karen Yarbrough, who is black and a Madigan protege, was slated. For Preckwinkle, despite the soda tax snafu, it’s “Veni, vidi, vici” – “I came, I saw, I conquered.”)

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.”)

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.)

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.)

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.

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.”)

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.

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.)

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://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.)
