DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
— 2018 PETITIONS  (DIERSEN: How many signatures on how many nominating petition sheets, for how many candidates, and from how many homes have you gathered so far? So far, from 19 homes in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton, I have gathered 559 signatures from registered Republican voters on 56 nominating petition sheets for the 19 announced candidates who will be on the March 20, 2018 Republican primary ballot in my precinct. The candidates are: U.S. CONGRESS: Peter Roskam; STATE OF ILLINOIS: Bruce Rauner, Governor and Evelyn Sanguinette, Lieutenant Governor and Erika Harold, Attorney General; ILLINOIS SENATE: Michael Connelly; ILLINOIS HOUSE: Jeanne Ives; DUPAGE COUNTY: Dan Cronin, Board Chairman; James Mendrick and Frank Bibbiano, Sheriff; Paul Hinds, Clerk; Gwen Henry, Treasurer; Darlene Ruscitti, Regional Superintendent of Schools; DUPAGE COUNTY BOARD District 4: Grant Eckhoff, Amy Grant, Paula McGowen, and Beth Tatro; DUPAGE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVE: Joseph Cantore, President; CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE: Richard Russo and Karen Wilson; and REPUBLICAN PRECINCT COMMITTEEMAN: Dave Diersen.  Outstandingly, yesterday evening, my State Farm Insurance Agent Mark Prutzman notarized the aforesaid 56 nominating petitions and my Statement of Candidacy, Oath of Registration Officer, and Loyalty Oath. Ever since I was first elected Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000, my policy has been to gather signatures on nominating petition sheets for all the candidates who will be on Republican primary ballots in my precinct.)
http://dupagegop.org/candidates/2018-petitions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Please help gather signatures for our Republican candidates. Any assistance you can provide to help them secure ballot access would be greatly appreciated. To help, click the links, print the petition sheets, and get signatures from your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. For statewide candidates, anyone who lives in Illinois can sign. For countywide and judicial candidates, signees have to live within DuPage. Federal, state, and county legislators need signatures from those who are registered to vote in their districts.

Box 893, Wheaton, IL 60187, your local Republican township organization, or the candidate’s campaign office.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Contentious speaker met with peaceful protests near Illini Union.” (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, schools crank out “good little Democrats” who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, 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.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2017-10-06/contentious-speaker-met-with-peaceful-protests-near-illini-union.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Controversial conservative speaker Charlie Kirk’s appearance Thursday night on campus was pretty much a political version of the battle of the bands. Before the Turning Point USA founder began his 40-minute talk inside the Illini Union, a mostly-student crowd of 67 marched across the Quad in that direction, many of them chanting slogans like “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Charlie Kirk has got to go.” Several onlookers grabbed their cellphones to snap selfies in front of the protesters. “He promotes racist policies,” said Elizabeth Dean of the International Socialist Organization. “He wants to build a wall on the border with Mexico. He promotes the ‘professor watch list,’ which asks students to give information about professors they think are left wing. I think his views are harmful to students on campus.” Inside the Union, close to 200 people packed Illini Room B to hear Kirk, a member of President Donald Trump’s transition team, extol the virtues of capitalism, fiscal responsibility and limited government. Attendees launched their own chant: “USA! USA! USA!” One woman squealed when Kirk suggested the U.S. move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. “College students are so used to hearing one side of the political agenda,” said Debbie Bernal, president of the UI chapter of Turning Point USA. “It is important to know there are other beliefs out there that young people are open to, as well.” UI police were stationed both inside and outside the union, but no violence was reported. Most of the conflict was of the verbal variety as each side promoted its views, separated by a hallway. Outside, Nilly Kumar of Urbana carried a sign reading “Open mic for anyone who hates fascism.” “Charlie Kirk is openly against the immigrant community and the undocumented community,” Kumar said. “He supports ideas that should have stayed in the racist 20th century. They don’t belong in this time period.” Inside, Kirk’s talk was interrupted only by loud applause from supporters, many of whom sported buttons reading “I love capitalism” and “Socialism sucks.” “Whether you agree or disagree, it is so important to fight for free speech on campuses today,” Kirk told the crowd. Among his remarks: a call for colleges to move from four-year to three-year degrees. “College should not be about life exploration,” he said. “It should be about career preparation.”)

— Do Republicans Still Love Rauner? (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Rauner talks and acts like he is taking advice from those who want him and all the other Republican candidates to lose on November 6, 2018. Those advisors tell him to dump individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Illinois that are Trump supporters, religious, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Those advisors tell him to dump the Republican Party platform and the Illinois Republican Party platform and especially their traditional family, right-to-life, immigration, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

— Can big bucks buy J.B. human persona? – Gregory Tejeda (DIERSEN: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45, a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)
http://chicagoargus.blogspot.com/2017/10/can-big-bucks-buy-jb-human-persona.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead, we get to hear a first-hand story of how wonderful his mother, Sue, was. He talks about how after his father, Donald, died when J.B. was merely a 7-year-old, his mother struggled to support he and his siblings. Her efforts were made all the more difficult by the fact that she was an alcoholic. She could easily have been overwhelmed by becoming a widow. Instead, she managed to raise all her children to adulthood where they succeeded in life, and J.B. says he gained “a kind of empathy and understanding” about people who struggle. HE CLAIMS THAT empathy will be put to use if he becomes governor. He’ll sympathize with all of us. . .BUT IT IS because this statement is so much like something just about anyone would say about their mother. I could easily come up with a similar accounting of how strong my late mother became following her divorce from my father – all because she wanted me and my brother to not suffer due to the split some four decades ago. In fact, my quarrel would be to say that my mother was just as special as his mother. Something I’m sure just about every voter would argue.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Aspiring Surgeon Highlights Need to Pass Dream Act – Hank Johnson  (DIERSEN: What shattered your career dreams? For me, it was the Vietnam War, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. If I had been a minority, a female, or a veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aspiring-surgeon-highlights-need-to-pass-dream-act_us_59d7e569e4b0cf2548b336fa
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But now her dreams of becoming a doctor could be shattered forever. That’s because Cinthya is one of about 800,000 DREAMers nationwide – young children brought to this country by their parents. Thanks to President Trump’s craven decision to reverse the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program or DACA, Cinthya’s contributions and those of hundreds of thousands of other DREAMers to our community and country could come to an end. Make no mistake, Congress has to now fix this problem that Trump created. I’m hopeful that Republicans can come together with Democrats and pass the bipartisan DREAM Act. Deporting DREAMers like Cinthya means destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of patriotic young people, costing the economy billions and betraying the fundamental values of the American Dream.)

— U.S. Halt in Visa Services Leaves Cuban Families in Limbo – ERNESTO LONDOÑO
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/world/americas/cuba-us-visas.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cubans have long regarded emigrating to the United States as something of a birthright derived from the privations they endured as a result of sanctions that Washington has imposed on Cuba for decades. Last week, for the first time in decades, the United States effectively shut down the immigration pipeline from the island as it sharply reduced its staff at the embassy in Havana in response to mysterious ailments there, leaving in limbo more than 100,000 Cubans, most of whom are seeking to reunite with relatives. The decision to indefinitely suspend visa processing at the embassy — one of the busiest consular posts in the region — could mean that the United States will fail to honor its obligations under a 1994 deal that requires the admission of at least 20,000 Cuban immigrants a year, current and former American diplomats say. The accord was reached in an effort to stem an exodus by Cubans who took to the seas in rafts by the thousands in the 1990s trying to reach Florida.)

They are especially furious that IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and that GAO promoted me in 1986. In today’s dollars, I started at $15.56/hour (GS 4, Step 1) and ended at $122,991/year (GS-13 Step 10). In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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.)

TAMPA BAY TIMES
— Still booming with retirees, The Villages gives Trump, GOP edge in Florida  Remarkable growth fuels a demographic trend in the GOP’s favor. – Alex Leary  (DIERSEN: How many in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois share your demographics?  What are the trends? From what I see, ever-increasingly, residents of my precinct, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, 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.)
http://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/2017/10/05/still-booming-with-retirees-the-villages-gives-trump-gop-edge-in-florida/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet over time, the explosive growth has fueled a remarkable, somewhat under-the-radar demographic trend that is playing an increasingly key role in the country’s most prized swing state. Overwhelmingly white and Republican, The Villages and surrounding areas have offset the rise in Hispanic residents in Central Florida, part of the vaunted I-4 corridor where elections are decided. In a state with a history of bitterly close elections, small shifts matter greatly and this one played a key role in Donald Trump’s narrow victory.)

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes say that I deserved what I got from my Democrat superiors in the federal government. 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 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. Of course, they say that I got what I deserved from the members of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— House Approves Budget Plan that Would Cut Federal Employee Benefits – Erich Wagner  (DIERSEN: If you sought a government office or a political office, what would your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes throw at you? They would throw at me that the federal government dramatically overpaid me and that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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.)
http://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2017/10/house-approves-budget-would-cut-federal-benefits/141582/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jessica Klement, legislative director of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, described the potential cuts to federal compensation as “hypocrisy.” “This sets the stage for the federal community to pay for tax reform,” she said. “You’re paying for middle class tax cuts on the backs of middle class federal employees and retirees. It goes against the fundamental premise of this tax reform package.” Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., the vice ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called the budget resolution “ruinous,” and said that while his committee would be responsible for $32 billion in cuts, the cost of the overall budget to federal workers and retirees could reach as high as $163 billion over the next decade. “Federal employee pay and benefits are not the cause of this country’s deficit and debt,” Connolly said. “The federal workforce has already contributed nearly $200 billion toward reducing the country’s deficits in the form of pay freezes, pay raises insufficient to keep pace with inflation, furloughs and increased retirement contributions. We should honor and revere the service of our federal workforce, not denigrate it with the attacks included in this ugly budget.” National Treasury Employees Union National President Tony Reardon decried the proposal, which he said would unfairly punish government employees. “On paper, it may look like a way to save money but in the real world, cutting the paychecks and retirements of federal employees, just to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, is a mean-spirited way to build a national budget,” Reardon said. “Since when is it acceptable to attack the very people who are providing hurricane relief, protecting clean air and water, conducting cutting-edge scientific research, enforcing the tax laws, securing the border, maintaining the national parks and guarding our financial system?”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP flap over ‘ANTI-GAY’ speaker – Natasha Korecki  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who despised if not hated those who I invited to speak at TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois meetings and events while I was its chairman 2005-2012. I invited all activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, etc., including Dave Smith, who support the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.)
http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2017/10/05/politico-illinois-playbook-gop-party-flap-over-anti-gay-speaker-222648
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Gov. Bruce Rauner faces relentless criticism from members of his own party over his signing of a bill that expands the public funding of abortion, we were tipped to a curious event promoted on the Illinois Republican Party web site. The site listed an event in Decatur scheduled for this evening featuring David Barton, an Evangelical Christian speaker/author/activist, whom the Southern Law Poverty Center has described as “anti-gay and antigovernment.” Screenshot here. The Illinois Family Institute coordinated the event. Talk about moving from one extreme to the other. Was the state party, almost entirely funded by Rauner, taking a sharp right turn to try to balance out Rauner’s HB40 signature? When we posed the question to Republican Party spokesman Aaron DeGroot, the post was almost immediately pulled down from the site. “This event was posted in error and has been removed,” DeGroot said in an emailed response. “The party website’s calendar is a local party-driven, community calendar that contains events hosted by the Illinois Republican Party, Republican lawmakers, county Republican central committees, and other local Republican organizations. Events that do not fall under those categories do not belong on the calendar and will be removed.” DeGroot further explained: “Inclusion of an event on the ILGOP community calendar should not be interpreted as an endorsement from the state party of that event, organization, or those affiliated with the event. Rather, the calendar is meant to be a resource for local Republican organizations to be aware of Republican-affiliated events occurring in their areas.” More from the Southern Poverty Law Center: “A prolific propagandist, Barton has long promoted the canard that our Founding Fathers never intended the separation of church and state but rather sought to construct a Christian nation,” says a write-up of Barton by the Southern Law Poverty Center. “His Texas-based group, WallBuilders, sells an abundant bounty of books and DVDs pushing Barton’s fun-house vision of religious patriotism. And this distorted message has sold well.” So who posted it on the web site? We asked Illinois Family Institute’s David E. Smith. “Wait, really? It was on the Republican Party web site?” Smith chuckled over the phone. “It doesn’t surprise me that Central Illinois folks are kind of excited about that and maybe someone in web maintenance thought it would be a good event. But somebody didn’t get the memo — you don’t promote stuff from the Illinois Family Institute on the Republican Party website.” Smith said he views the party apparatus as “leftist” and called Republicans who embrace abortion rights “RINOs.” He further said Barton was invited as a historian and author to talk about Christian values. He took issue with a depiction of Barton as anti-gay. “We are Christians and so is David Barton. We believe every human being is made in the image of God … we do love our LGBTQ-I-A-whatever, neighbors. But we love them enough to tell them that this is not how God has designed you. We don’t deny there is such a thing as same-sex attraction. I do believe, however, that you can fight that. That you can overcome it. I do know a few ex-homosexuals.” Hoooo boy. And now we know why the post was taken down. However, one cached version of the GOP website from July shows the event, so it was up there for months. This all led to another question — how much independence can a state party that’s now divided have from Rauner, given that the governor is solidly in support of abortion rights — and that he has bankrolled the Illinois Republican Party? Will the party web site promote events opposing abortion? DeGroot: “The Illinois Republican Party will post pro-life events that are affiliated with an official Republican organization on our community calendar.”)

— OBITUARY: JAMES W. “JIM” RASINS  (DIERSEN: What were your connections with Jim Rasins?  DuPage County Auditor Bill Jacklin introduced me to Jim in 1986, and in 1990, Jacklin asked me to recommend Jim to be a Certified Fraud Examiner. During the mid-1990s, I recruited Jim to speak at an Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter meeting. We were fellow Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen. The Daily Herald reported that Jim attended a July 5, 2003 picnic the Prairie Path Park in my precinct that I had organized for the residents of my precinct and the residents of the precincts to the east and west. Attendees got to meet the five announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate – John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andy McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan. Cox brought Jays Potato Chips. Oberweis brought ice cream. The 200+ attendees included now Congressman Randy Hultgren. Jack Ryan won the primary, but withdrew. His replacement, Alan Keyes lost to Barack Obama. Jim served as the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) Treasurer 1998-2004. In 2004, stressing the need for MTRCC to develop and to follow budgets, I unsuccessfully ran to fill the MTRCC Treasurer vacancy.)

ILLINOIS CHANNEL
— Gov Rauner: No One Issue Defines a Political Party – Editorial  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Rauner and Sanguinetti make it clear that they reject more and more and more planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. In Illinois, if you do not defend and advance the IRP platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican. The IRP should a) have the power to stop candidates who reject the IRP platform from running for offices as a Republican and b) have the power to remove from office elected and appointed Republican officials who reject the IRP platform.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Where Were Conservatives on Monday Night? – Laurie Higgins  (DIERSEN: I spent Monday evening in Wheaton a) gathering signatures in my precinct on petitions for Republican candidates, b) attending the Milton Township Republican Central Committee Oktoberfest fundraiser, c) writing a report on that event, and d) putting out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS evening edition email.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are extremely judgmental and have always viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned me and what I do with my time and money. They especially demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me because I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church.  I spend Sunday mornings putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/uncategorized/conservatives-needed-show/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Following a contemptible Facebook post by the now nationally infamous School District U-46 school board member Traci O’Neal Ellis in which she asserted that the American flag means no more to her than toilet paper, Monday’s board meeting saw a slew of impassioned comments most of them in support of Ellis. Most, however, failed to address the crux of public outrage: The public is outraged by the incivility of Ellis and by her myopic, imbalanced view of America. Fifteen people spoke, twelve in favor of Ellis and three in opposition to Ellis’ comment. My question is, what the heck is wrong with conservatives? How can Ellis’ comment, which elicited national condemnation, including from former governor Mike Huckabee, motivate only three people to speak at a board meeting? The meeting began as always with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance during which Ellis was the only member not to cover her heart.)

PEOPLE’S PUNDIT DAILY
— Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner Begging for a Primary Challenge – Editorial (DIERSEN: Rauner knows that anti-Trumps would call any primary challenger a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Rauner knows that would help his supporters argue a) that he and Sanguinetti are “good” Republicans and b) that all other Republicans, including Diersen, are “bad” Republicans.)
https://www.peoplespunditdaily.com/news/elections/2017/10/05/illinois-governor-bruce-rauner-primary-challenge-election-2018/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner has now betrayed the Republican base on several key issues that could cost him what appears to be an inevitable primary. While the former venture capitalist-turned-politician has a massive war chest for his reelection efforts, the 2016 demonstrated no amount of money can appease an angry Republican base. Previously, Gov. Rauner signed a bill that limited the cooperation local and state police give to federal immigration authorities. As polls have shown, American voters overall support local and state officials cooperating with the federal government on immigration and oppose sanctuary cities. Among Republican voters, the already overwhelming margin is even more lopsided. Then, the governor struck a deal with state Democrats increasing taxes and spending after Republicans provided him political support on budget reforms. Now, he caved to Democrats in the state and expanded taxpayer-funded abortions. Republicans in the Illinois House are furious, as the entire delegation signed onto a statement issued on Tuesday publicly rebuking him. “In a reversal of long-standing Illinois policy, Governor Rauner has let down Illinois taxpayers and the unborn by signing,” Republican Reps. Peter Roskam, John Shimkus, Randy Hultgren, Rodney Davis, Adam Kinzinger, Darin LaHood and Mike Bost said in a statement. Illinois state Rep. Peter Breen, R-District 48, said the governor not only lied to voters and Republican lawmakers but also Chicago’s Cardinal Blasé Cupich. “I mean, you lied to a priest,” Mr. Breen told a local radio station. “This guy is done.” Gov. Rauner defeated the deeply-unpopular incumbent Democrat Pat Quinn in 2014 by a 50.3% to 46.4% margin. While he did an excellent job reaching out to inner city minorities of faith, his abortion decision angers the base and jeopardizes even those relationships. William J. Kelly, a television producer, is already a declared candidate for the Republican nomination, but not much of a threat. However, Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-District 42, said she “wouldn’t rule out” waging a primary challenge. State senators Sam McCann and Kyle McCarter are also on the list of potential primary candidates.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the colleges that admitted me should have instead admitted applicants who were minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or who had less money. UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 17 years old, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, Roosevelt in 1980, and IIT in 1992.)

They would never seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP backers abandon Rauner after broken promise on abortion – John Kass  (DIERSEN: What are your connections with State Representative Jeanne Ives? She and I are both DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen in Wheaton. Her precinct is immediately to the east of mine.  Because of gerrymandering in 2015, my precinct now includes about 100 homes and 200 voters from her old precinct. Our precincts used to share the same polling place.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-bruce-rauner-abortion-john-kass-20170928-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republicans are already trying to save what’s left of the GOP by finding other conservative candidates to run against Rauner. Among the names being mentioned: state Rep. Jeanne Ives, of Wheaton, a conservative and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Mentioned as a running mate is outgoing state Sen. Kyle McCarter, of downstate Lebanon. Others are in the mix. Still, these are political questions and there’s more to this than maneuvering.)

— State allows educators to bypass some exams, courses for teacher licensing – Diane Rado  (DIERSEN: Since the 1960s, to help it meet its Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets, the federal government has lowered many of its hiring, retention, and promotion standards and made them much more subjective. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my work experience, my education, my professional certifications, and my professional license meant less and less and less. 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.)

— Jewish leaders address rise of anti-Semitism as Yom Kippur arrives – Eric Peterson  (DIERSEN: Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means. They are disciples of Saul Alinsky. Virtually all during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, one or more of my superiors were Jewish. To turn them against me, my Democrat superiors, my Democrat supervisors, my Democrat coworkers, and my Democrat subordinate stressed to them that I am 100% German national origin, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that Crete was my hometown, and that I was a draft avoider. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Sadly, one or more of my Jewish superiors helped the federal government take many adverse actions against me. 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.)

CONCERNED CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES
— What a Disappointment!!!  Once again Governor Rauner disappoints! On Good Friday his office announced that he would veto HB 40, which publicly funds abortions, adds abortion to the Illinois insurance plan for employees, and keeps abortion until live birth the law of the land in Illinois even if Roe v. Wade is overturned! This is a drastic change to longstanding Illinois policy! For years Illinois has not paid for abortions through tax-payer funding except for the life of the mother. Illinois citizens have never had to pay for abortions through the state employee health care plans. Surveys clearly show that 70-80% of Illinois citizens do not belief taxpayers should fund abortions. This legislation will require Illinois taxpayers somewhere around $20 million to pay to end the lives of thousands of innocent unborn children. By signing HB 40, Governor Rauner has gone completely against the Illinois Republican Party platform. Please continue to pray for Illinois, our governor, our legislators. Our solid pro-life and pro-family legislators are under great pressure. Thank you for your continued prayers during discouraging times like this. The work must continue. Thank you for your support! We remain in His Service! – Rev. Bob Vanden Bosch

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/28/deep-state-78-obama-appointees-burrowed-in-govt-report-says.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The process of burrowing is not an uncommon for administrations on the way out. President George W. Bush had at least 26 conversions approved in his final year in office. Obama was warned in his final year against assigning political appointees to career jobs and was asked by Republicans to implement a hiring freeze to avoid keeping workers who opposed President Donald Trump’s policies. “Not only is ‘burrowing in’ unfair to applicants without an inside connection, it further contributes to the possibility that federal workers may attempt to undermine the policies of the new president,” Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote to Obama, McClatchyDC reported.)

— Dissident artist Ai Weiwei and U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren bond over refugee rights – Kim Janssen (DIERSEN: Of course, because of this, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would hint/imply/argue/shout at Hultgren that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. They would stress to Hultgren that unlike them, I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. Anti-Trumps shout at refugees that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-hultgren-weiwei-0927-chicago-inc-20170927-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hultgren’s outspoken support of refugee rights has placed him in potential conflict with President Donald Trump, whose bans on refugees from a series of majority Muslim countries have been challenged in court. But the congressman, who votes in line with Trump’s favored position more than 90 percent of the time, was careful not to directly criticize White House policy this week. “Immigration is a foundational part of who we are … to be a place of refuge,” he said. “I understand that there are bad actors and terrorists out there … but I don’t want to shut off opportunity for people who really need refuge. I don’t think those are mutually exclusive.”)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170928/lester-immigrant-rights-event-canceled-after-threats-to-arlington-heights-library
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Arlington Heights Memorial Library canceled an immigrants rights workshop this week out of “concerns for safety” after the library’s voice mail and board president Deb Smart’s home phone were flooded with calls from people objecting to the meeting. “It was an unsettling process,” Smart says. “People called the switchboard, saying they’d call (federal immigration officials) and have a raid done.” She says she was called names and threatened, and ultimately involved local police. The free workshop was sponsored by the Community Activism Law Alliance and was advertised as informing immigrants on what to do and say when in contact with immigration and police officers and how to prepare “emergency kits” if they’re at risk for detention. Smart said a similar workshop might be held in the future at a different location. The library’s official statement, posted on its website, says “the decision to cancel the workshop was based on concerns for the safety and welfare of workshop attendees, library staff and library users.”)

School officials say the award is given to those who’ve succeeded in business, the arts, science or community service and is traced back to the motto of the school, Vincit Qui Laborat, translated as “he conquers, who labors.” Connelly, a 1982 graduate, was recently named assistant Republican leader.)

The states with the highest tax burden are places like New York, Connecticut, Illinois, California, and Rhode Island. Spot a trend? They are all deep, deep blue.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Great news from the congressional front!  In light of the possibility that Governor Bruce Rauner may renege on his commitment to veto HB 40—the bill that would require taxpayer-funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee insurance plans through the entire 9 months of pregnancies—and the moral gravity of such an obscene (and costly) requirement, Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith sent a letter to Illinois’ Republican congressmen requesting their help in persuading Governor Rauner to veto HB 40. Earlier today, U.S. Congressmen Peter Roskam, John Shimkus, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Rodney Davis, Mike Bost, and Darin LaHood sent a letter to Governor Rauner urging him to do just that:)

— Rauner: Protesting NFL players are ‘disrespecting the foundations of our country’ – AVERY ANAPOL
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/352237-illinois-governor-protesting-nfl-players-are-disrespecting-the
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner said that NFL players protesting the National Anthem are “disrespecting” the flag, country, and anthem. The governor weighed in on the controversy to Politico after Sunday’s NFL game at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The entirety of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem, except for one player. “To me they are disrespecting the foundations of our country, the veterans who risked their lives for our democracy, and the men and women who fight every day and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberties,” Rauner said through a spokesman. Rauner has a financial stake in the Steelers, according to Politico. The Republican governor said he did not condone the Steelers’ behavior, but that the First Amendment guarantees the right of players to “choose to be disrespectful.” “Our country is great because it guarantees freedom of expression,” Rauner said. President Trump has heavily criticized players for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. At an Alabama Senate campaign rally on Friday night, he called for NFL owners to fire athletes who protest the National Anthem, prompting several instances of players kneeling or staying in locker rooms during the anthem across the nation this weekend. The Chicago Bears stayed on the field during the anthem, linking arms in a display of unity while remaining standing. A team statement from the Bears said that the “divisive political situation” that the protests have brought on have unified the NFL by prompting dialogue between  “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” the statement reads. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner.”)
— Chicago Bears chairman: ‘Divisive’ feud with Trump ‘unified our franchise’ – MALLORY SHELBOURNE (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will the Chicago Bears officially dump all individuals, all organizations, all companies, all governments, and all countries 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?)

(THE STATEMENT: Elected officials are welcome at our meetings, from every level of government and from every political persuasion. West Suburban Patriot’s members are very engaged in the political process and look forward to opportunities to meet representatives and hear about current legislative issues. Due to the structure and purpose of our meetings, we can’t provide them a platform to address the group for an entire meeting (unless we are holding a candidate forum), but we will certainly announce that they are in attendance, give them a few minutes to address the group, and encourage members to take time to introduce themselves and connect one-on-one. We ask elected officials to be conscious of the fact that we are a non-partisan group and to respect all of our members by not acting in an overtly partisan manner. We realize that getting our nation back on the right track will take the active participation of every citizen we can possibly draw in to our movement. Anyone who subscribes to the three tea party principles (fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government, and free and fair markets) is welcome to join us. So that we know how much time to allocate for candidates, please contact Carol in advance to let us know that you are coming.)

http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article175175316.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.” The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service. “Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.” All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.)

— Baby boomers, not millennials, most influence the auto industry – Casey Williams (DIERSEN: Are you anti-car?  Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are a) anti-car and b) anti-union. They are especially anti-GM, anti-Ford, and anti-Chrysler.  They remind everyone that I was a union member for almost 12 years and that I own a 1972 Chevy Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS, 2005 Chevy Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, and 2016 Ford Mustang and that I have owned a 1958 Chevy BelAir, 1962 Chevy BelAir, 1962 Chevy Impala SS, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, 1969 Dodge Charger SE, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Chevy Chevette, 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX, 1993 Ford Thunderbird, and 1997 Chevy Cavalier.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For baby boomers, the automobile has always been a symbol of style and freedom. The generation of 76.4 million born between 1946 and 1964 who once romped in the back seats of their parents’ station wagons has determined what we drive for over a half-century. With advanced technology and designs catering to this demographic, boomers will influence our rides long past when they hang up their key chains.)
