— Obama urges African Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton – AP  (DIERSEN: If someone urged Whites to vote for Trump, Obama would viciously demonize them as being a racist, viciously denigrate them as being a racist, and viciously condemn them as being a racist.  Ever increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

HERALD REVIEW
— Lottery lights way on Rauner’s merit pay proposal – DAN PETRELLA  (DIERSEN: Measuring job performance is extremely subjective.  My Democrat GAO superiors in the federal government used that subjectivity to favor their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, that is, they used that subjectivity to discriminate against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or older.  My superiors in the federal government were always under pressure from Democrat politicians to favor their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger.  Charles Bowsher, who ran GAO 1981-1996, would say that his pay-for-performance system helped him get rid of the agency’s employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://herald-review.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/lottery-lights-way-on-rauner-s-merit-pay-proposal/article_17f6db23-423b-59e9-909f-bc194b428831.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said that characterization misrepresents much of the work that state employees do. While performance might be easily measurable for some workers, such as “an exceedingly small number of employees” at the Lottery, that’s not the case across the board, Lindall said. “How would one fairly and accurately quantify the performance of a child protection investigator or a nurse assistant in a veterans home or a caregiver for someone with disabilities?” he said. “We’re skeptical that can be done.” Another problem is that the Rauner administration has failed to provide the union with adequate information about its pay proposals, Lindall said, which is one of the reasons the administrative law judge gave for recommending that contract talks resume. Lindall also noted that the Lottery program offers bonuses on top of any contractually guaranteed raises, whereas the administration’s proposals at the bargaining table have called for a wage freeze to accompany merit pay programs. “We think that if there is money to raise wages, then that should be distributed fairly across the whole workforce,” he said.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Evanston Township High School Class of 1966’ 50th Reunion: You CAN Go Home Again – Miles J. Zaremski (DIERSEN: Crete-Monee High School Class of 1966 held its outstanding 50th reunion yesterday evening at the Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete.  Of the 200 graduates, 100 responded to the event questionnaire, 67 attended one or more of three weekend events, and 31 spouses/guests attended one or more of the events.  Sadly, 48 of the 200 have passed away.  I was one of the few who had attended all three of the previous reunions – the 25th in Beecher, the 20th in Matteson, and the 10th in Homewood.  One of my classmates, Dennis Peters from Morris, ran for state representative in 1998.)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/miles-j-zaremski/eths-class-of-1966-50th-r_b_11977976.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Not so for the 50th high school reunion of the Class of 1966 from Evanston Township High School (ETHS) in Evanston, Illinois held the weekend of September 9-10, 2016. This writer happens to be one of those graduates. This reunion for a class of a little over 900 graduates drew nearly a third, or about 300 attendees, to the main affair on Saturday night the 10th. It was quite a high-water mark, though preceded that day by a tour of the high school followed by a luncheon. The night before was an informal get-together at a locally, well-known restaurant that well outdrew the anticipated attendance.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump, Ivanka heading to town for fundraisers – Michell Sneed  (DIERSEN: Far too often, political news of interest to Illinois Republicans is a) first given to the Democrat news media, b) then reported by the Democrat news media, c) then included in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email, and d) then read by Illinois Republicans.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/sneed-trump-ivanka-coming-to-town-for-fundraisers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ivanka Trump is on the way. The Donald isn’t . . . yet. “It’s hush, but father and daughter are coming at the end of the month,” a top Republican source said. “They aren’t on the campaign trail. No press. It’s private fundraisers,” the source added. “Trump’s poll numbers are soaring and he’s got to focus on the swing states — and Illinois is so blue it’s almost frozen,” the source said. Sneed hears Ivanka, one of her father’s top advisers, has scheduled three fundraisers at the end of September. Two downstate. One in Chicago. “There is huge interest now. People sense now is the time to get on board,” the source said. With his numbers rising in the polls, Trump abruptly canceled his Bolingbrook luncheon appearance Monday to hit Florida. “I get it,” said Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, a huge Trump supporter who has already postponed the Trumpster’s luncheon twice: now reset for Sept. 28. “He needs to put his attention on the swing states. But I’ll tell you what,” said Claar. “Tickets for the luncheon are selling. Originally set for only 100 people, now 300-350 are anticipated. “People who couldn’t make time on their calendars before now have calendars dates available. It’s great. People who were expecting to come and now can’t are really disappointed.”  Sneed hears rumbles DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin may be attending. Psst, word is Trump’s jet will fly into Chicago. Does that mean he will drive from the city to Bolingbrook? Stay tuned.)

— BEYOND TRAGIC: Video gambling spending, losses on rise – Mike Nolan  (DIERSEN: Video gambling is a vice.  Individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that promote video gambling promote vice.  Questions to ask video gamblers include a) how much time do you spend video gambling per day, per week, per month, and per year, b) how much money do you typically lose per day, per week, per month, and per year, c) can you afford the lose the time and money that you do gambling, d) where does the money come from that you gamble away, and e) how much have you saved for your retirement?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-video-gambling-side1-st-0918-2-20160916-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is being spent at video gambling machines, and what is being lost, grew during the first eight months of this year compared with the same period last year, according to figures compiled by the state gaming board. Some of the increase is due to more establishments offering gambling now compared with a year ago. Here is a breakdown for selected communities in the south and southwest suburbs showing amounts spent at the machines for the period of January through August of this year and a comparison to the same eight-month period in 2015: In Alsip, $11.1 million was spent this year through August, and $3 million lost, compared with $7.8 million spent during the first eight months of last year and losses of $2.1 million. At Bridgeview gambling terminals, $8.2 million was spent during the first eight months of this year, and $2.1 million lost, compared with spending of $6.7 million a year earlier and losses of $1.8 million. Chicago Ridge video gambling spending totaled $12.1 million through August of this year, with losses to gamblers of $3.2 million, compared with the same period in 2015 when $11.7 million was spent and $3.1 million lost. In Crestwood, $14.5 million was spent in the first eight months of this year, with losses of $3.7 million, compared with a year earlier when $11.4 million was spent at gambling machines and losses totaled $3 million. At establishments in Homer Glen, $6.3 million was spent on video gambling through August of this year, with losses of $1.7 million, compared with $4.7 million spent last year and losses of $1.3 million. Lemont video gambling spending was $8.3 million during the first eight months of this year, with losses of $2 million, while spending for the same period last year was $5.6 million and losses totaled $1.4 million. In Midlothian, $9 million was spent during the first eight months of this year, with losses of $2.3 million, compared with $7.3 million spent for the same period in 2015 and losses totaling $2 million. At video gambling terminals in Mokena, $10.7 million was spent through August of this year, with losses of $2.8 million, compared with spending of $8.7 million for the same period of last year and losses totaling $2.2 million. In Oak Forest, video gambling spending totaled $13.3 million during the first eight months of this year, with losses of $3.4 million, compared with $12.3 million spent during the same period last year and losses of $3.2 million. At establishments in Oak Lawn, spending on video gambling totaled $27.1 million through August of this year, with losses of $7.1 million, compared with spending during the same period last year of $22.1 million and losses of $6 million. In Tinley Park, spending on video gambling totaled $10.6 million through the first eight months of this year, with losses of $2.9 million, compared with $8.1 million spent during the same period a year earlier and losses of $2.2 million.)

NORTHWEST INDIANA TIMES
— Rauner administration: Lottery program shows ‘merit pay’ works – Dan Petrella  (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors used merit pay to favor their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger, that is, to discriminate against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or older.)
http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/rauner-administration-lottery-program-shows-merit-pay-works/article_bbf0c3e0-4fbe-57e5-a81e-b6d7385393ea.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state has paid more than $631,000 in bonuses over the past two years to dozens of Illinois Lottery employees for meeting sales targets and other goals. Introducing programs like this, which reward workers financially based on certain measures of job performance, throughout state government has been a priority for Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration in stalled contract talks with a union representing 38,000 state workers. The administration wants to do away with guaranteed annual raises in favor what it calls “merit pay,” but the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 has opposed those proposals because, among other reasons, it sees opportunities for favoritism. Wages are one of the major sticking points in the negotiations, which were halted in January when the Rauner administration moved to have an impasse declared. An administrative law judge recommended earlier this month that the Illinois Labor Relations Board order the administration and AFSCME back to the bargaining table. The Rauner administration says the Lottery program, which was introduced in 2011 under the administration of then-Gov. Pat Quinn, is evidence that merit pay works.)

WORLD NET DAILY
— DR. CARSON’S MIS-DIAGNOSIS ON ELIGIBILITY  Joseph Farah shows how ‘drive-by media’ hoodwinked Trump supporter.
http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/dr-carsons-mis-diagnosis-on-eligibility/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I have about as much respect for Dr. Ben Carson as I do for any prominent person in the world today. I’ve interviewed him extensively and found almost no area of disagreement with his views. I respected the campaign he ran for the presidency this year and was disappointed that he didn’t get more support. But, his advice to Donald Trump to apologize for questioning whether Barack Obama was constitutionally eligible for the office of the presidency was just plain wrong.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Not many women make it to Wall Street. Few do who are Hispanic — and undocumented. But Julissa Arce did just that. In her new book, “My (Underground) American Dream: My True Story as an Undocumented Immigrant Who Became a Wall Street Executive,” Arce, 33, recounts the story of how she challenged the stereotype of the undocumented immigrant by graduating from the University of Texas with honors, immediately securing a job at Goldman Sachs and eventually becoming an executive at Merrill Lynch. “Since the age of 14, I had learned to live an alternate reality, an imagined reality in which my immigration status didn’t matter,” writes Arce in the prologue of her memoir, which was released Sept. 13.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Marijuana Makes for Slackers? Now There’s Evidence – SUSAN PINKER
http://www.wsj.com/articles/marijuana-makes-for-slackers-now-theres-evidence-1473953464
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In cities like Seattle and Vancouver, the marijuana icon has become almost as common on storefronts as the Starbucks mermaid. But there’s one big difference between the products on offer: A venti latte tastes the same everywhere and provides an identical caffeine rush, while marijuana stores offer the drug’s active ingredients in varying combinations, potencies and formats. There is no consistency in testing, standards or labeling. This matters because marijuana’s two psychoactive ingredients, tetrohydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have contrasting effects on the brain. “THC makes you feel high,” said Catharine Winstanley, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia who does research on marijuana, while CBD “is responsible for its analgesic, antiseizure and purported anticancer effects.” In street marijuana, the THC-to-CBD ratio now tends to be 10 to 1, and it is increasing, a trend occurring even at some marijuana clinics, Dr. Winstanley said. And few people know what effect that has on their brains. A new study by Dr. Winstanley’s group in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience examines how these two chemicals shape our willingness to face a challenge. Does marijuana make us lazy?)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-illinois-chicago-census-0915-biz-20160914-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Chicago metro area had nearly 52,000 fewer people living in poverty in 2015 than it did the year before, following national trends as its poverty rate dropped and household incomes rose — though the economic improvements locally were not as vigorous as national averages. The poverty rate fell to 13.3 percent last year from 13.9 percent in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin metro area, which was among 16 of the 25 most populous metro areas to see a significant drop in poverty rates, according to American Community Survey data scheduled for Thursday release by the U.S. Census Bureau. The other large metro areas saw no change in poverty rates; none had an increase. Median household income, adjusted for inflation, rose by 2.4 percent in the Chicago metro area between 2014 and 2015, to $63,135. That growth was more tepid than the national average, which saw median household income rise 3.8 percent, to $55,775. Median incomes increased in 21 of the 25 most populous metro areas. None showed a decrease. Nationally, the poverty rate declined to 14.7 percent in 2015 from 15.5 percent the year before, according to the American Community Survey, marking the first time since the survey launched in 2005 that poverty has declined significantly two years in a row.)

http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2016/09/13/bozell-graham-column-cnns-deplorable-smear-pence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The CNN screen graphic at 6 pm on September 12 was blunt: “PENCE REFUSES TO CALL DAVID DUKE ‘DEPLORABLE.’” Mike Pence had granted Wolf Blitzer a 30-minute interview, and what he received in return was a reckless leftist smear.  Let’s be clear about this interview. Blitzer offered 39 hostile questions or interjections about Trump’s tax returns, medical records, charities, and offensive remarks before asking a single question about policy. In the middle of this contentious exchange, Blitzer arrived at Hillary Clinton’s gaffe calling Trump backers a “basket of deplorables.” Blitzer obnoxiously underlined that some Trump backers were truly deplorable: “David Duke, for example, some other white nationalists, who would fit into that category of deplorables. Right?”  Pence protested, “I’m not really sure why the media keeps dropping David Duke’s name. Donald Trump has denounced David Duke repeatedly. We don’t want his support, and we don’t want the support of people who think like him.” Blitzer pushed back: “Would you call him a deplorable? You would call him that?” Pence replied: “I’m not in the name-calling business, Wolf.” CNN ignored that denouncement of Duke and his backers. It was spiked in favor of a cheap National Enquirer-style “Pence Won’t Deplore Duke” headline. It’s the kind of gotcha journalism that has the public disgusted with the press.)

He fought type 1 diabetes from age 14. He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma.  He never attended college. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Some Quick, easy steps to tell if you’re a deplorable – Howie Carr
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/howie_carr/2016/09/carr_some_quick_easy_steps_to_tell_if_you_re_a_deplorable
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In case you’ve been wondering which side you’re on, you may be a deplorable if you stand for the National Anthem. Or if you know all the words to the Pledge of Allegiance, especially, “under God.” Or if when you go to Market Basket, you tend to buy generic products, because you’re using your own money, not an EBT card. You may be a deplorable if you just got your car inspected. If you’re deployable, you’re definitely deplorable. If you wake before noon, if you call Islamic terrorists Islamic terrorists, if you don’t have an Obamaphone and you don’t believe that global warming is “settled science” — can you say deplorable? You may be deplorable if your passport, driver’s license and credit cards are all in the same name. Saying Merry Christmas — Deplorable with a capital D! You may be a deplorable if you wouldn’t mind showing some ID at the local precinct before you vote. You are most assuredly a deplorable if you have more than one job. You may be a deplorable if you’ve never used Western Union to wire welfare cash south of the border. You may be a deplorable if all of your children have the same last name — and it’s your last name. Or if while watching the second Monday night NFL game you were less irritated by the streaker than you were by all the fawning coverage of Colin Kaepernick on the pre-game show. You may be a deplorable if you resent training your H1-B replacement. Or the fact that the Earned Income Tax Credit is NOT earned. Nothing says deplorable like the National Rifle Association. If you liked your doctor and wanted to keep your doctor, if you wear pants rather than pajamas when you leave the house, if you were passed over for the job even though you got a 95 on the civil-service test — you know what you are. You may be a deplorable if you don’t think you should have to press one for English. If you lost your security clearance and your job for mishandling classified information, you are deplorable. You may be a deplorable if you identify as a member of the gender in which you were born. Or if you drained your 401(k) or took out a second mortgage on your house to pay for your kid’s tuition at UMass while the illegal alien down the hall goes on the arm. Or if you believe that good fences make good neighbors. You’re most definitely a deplorable if you have an American flag flying in your front yard. Or if you’ve never windsurfed with John Kerry on Nantucket, or stood in line with Sen. Warren at your local “cheese shop.” You are a deplorable if you believe All Lives Matter. If you’ve never needed a “safe space,” or heeded a “trigger warning” — deplorable. If you’ve gone to the www.howiecarrshow.com store and ordered a “Proud to be Deplorable” T-shirt — yes, you know very well what you are.)

— FLAGS CRUSHED, TRASHED AT SEPT. 11 MEMORIAL
http://abc7chicago.com/news/flags-crushed-trashed-at-sept-11-memorial/1508111/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sept. 11 memorial was vandalized on a local college campus in Eagle Rock on the day of the terror attack’s 15th anniversary. On Saturday night, 2,997 American flags were placed in the quad of Occidental College by a student organization called Occidental College Republican Club. One flag was placed for each of the 9/11 victims who died. By early Sunday morning, the memorial was vandalized with flags found in the garbage and others destroyed. Posters shaming the victims of 9/11 were also found. Later that day, four students crushed and snapped several of the flags in half. Even after the flags were placed back in the ground, vandals returned to damage hundreds of them again. Students from the group were standing guard the rest of the day to protect the memorial. The school issued a statement to students and said that it plans to discipline those responsible for the crimes. The statement read in part: “We don’t yet know who is responsible for this incident, but the College is investigating and will take appropriate disciplinary action. If you have any information about this incident, please share that information with us at conduct@oxy.edu.”)

http://patch.com/illinois/bolingbrook/protest-planned-donald-trumps-bolingbrook-fundraiser
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A protest is planned against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump when he visits the Bolingbrook Golf Club for a fundraiser Sept. 19. The fundraiser was originally scheduled for Sept. 12, but was pushed back, according to the Chicago Tribune. A Change.org petition to keep Trump out of Bolingbrook has also been created and currently has 1,132 supporters. Created by Suburban Families Against Hate, the petition states that “Trump does not represent the interests nor the values of families in the suburban community of Bolingbrook. It is an insult to invite a billionaire to raise funds in a middle-class, hard working, vibrant, and diverse community.” Bolingbrook resident Michael Manolakes said on the petition that Trump’s rhetoric incites violence. “Donald Trump is a man who regularly uses rhetoric that incites violence at his rallies, and he condones violence by his supporters against dissenters,” Manolakes said. “I do not wish to have him speak at a facility built and maintained by my tax dollars.” The protest will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, according to a Suburban Families Against Hate Facebook page. Tickets for Trump’s fundraiser are going as high as $250,000. For that, you get a photo op and a seat at a VIP table.)

THE DRIVE
— Why Aren’t Americans Buying Muscle Cars?  The Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang appear to be receiving less consumer love. – AARON BROWNS
http://www.thedrive.com/muscle-cars/5167/why-arent-americans-buying-muscle-cars
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The thing is, no one truly needs a muscle car. The trio mentioned above are most commonly bought by consumers who are looking for a throwback car to the American icons of the 1960s and ’70s. Beyond that, today’s muscle cars are some of the most impressive cars that this country has ever produced. The last-generation Camaro 1LEs and Z28s were brutally-capable track cars, the current Mustang GT350 is mind-blowingly competent car both on track and any country backroad, and we’re pretty sure the Dodge Challenger Hellcat has enough power to light the ground beneath it on fire. Many of these cars are like absolutely nothing else in the industry in some very attractive ways. So why have Americans stepped back from them? Or have Americans even stepped back? Let us know what you think in the comments.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/parthenon-facing-about-475000-in-federal-state-tax-claims/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The more than $380,000 due to the federal government was almost all for employee withholding taxes that should have been paid for 2014 and 2015, records show. The restaurant had 45 employees at the time it closed, said Parthenon founder and owner Christos Liakouras. The state also alleged that the restaurant owed a variety of unpaid taxes, including withholding income tax and a food and beverage tax that goes to the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. Liakouras said he expected he and his daughter and partner in the restaurant, Joanna Liakouras, would meet with their lawyer and with the feds to arrange for a payment plan. “We are going to go meet with the IRS, and I think they will get all their money, slowly but surely,” said Liakouras, 80.)

DAILY HERALD
— LESTER: Rauner jumps into 27th  After initially staying out of the process of selecting a replacement for departing GOP state Sen. Matt Murphy, the governor’s office and its allies have jumped into the fray. They held interviews for the six candidates Friday in Chicago. Among those questioning the candidates were the governor, chief political strategist Mike Zolnierowicz, John Tillman of the Illinois Policy Institute and Senate GOP Leader Christine Radogno. Local party leaders are scheduled to meet on Thursday to formally select a replacement. Palatine Township Republican Committeeman Aaron Del Mar of Palatine, state Rep. David Harris of Arlington Heights, state Rep. Tom Morrison of Palatine, Palatine Township Supervisor Sharon Langlotz-Johnson, Arlington Heights Trustee Joe Farwell and Rolling Meadows Mayor Tom Rooney are seeking the appointment.
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160912/news/160919787/
— LESTER: Murphy’s new job  What led Murphy, of Palatine, to leave the legislature and take a post at Mac Strategies Group, a public affairs firm headed by Des Plaines native Ryan McLaughlin? McLaughlin tells me he’d been thinking for some time about expanding the firm and describes a longtime friendship with Murphy. “I mentioned my interest in taking my firm to the next level by offering a lobbying practice beyond our communications and public affairs services and he mentioned his growing obligations to his family,” McLaughlin says. “As we talked more, it made all the sense in the world to join forces. It’s a natural and perfect fit.” Murphy previously has said that with four children, two of them in college, he needed more income than his $84,000 state pay ­– $67,000 base pay plus leadership stipends, with paychecks sometimes delayed by the state’s budget impasse. Mac Strategies has not disclosed Murphy’s new pay. McLaughlin says Murphy will work as a legislative and regulatory lobbyist with state and federal clients. He’ll also provide advice on communications and public affairs strategies. Murphy’s first day is Friday.

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT AND WASHINGTON POST
— With backing of wealthy governor, Illinois GOP spending big  Illinois Republicans are vastly outspending Democrats in fall legislative races for the first time in recent history with the help of their wealthy governor – AP
http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-09-12/with-backing-of-wealthy-governor-illinois-gop-spending-big
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/with-backing-of-wealthy-governor-illinois-gop-spending-big/2016/09/12/3ed59d38-78ab-11e6-8064-c1ddc8a724bb_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time in recent history, Illinois Republicans are vastly outspending Democrats in fall legislative races with the help of a wealthy governor determined to curtail a traditionally blue political landscape that has thwarted his agenda for two years. The more than $13 million the GOP’s main campaign committee has disbursed to House and Senate candidates so far — nearly all of it coming from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner — dwarfs what either party has been able to spend sometimes in entire election cycles. And the Illinois Republican Party Committee still has $3 million from Rauner in the bank. “This is a new ballgame and we’re taking it very seriously,” said Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the Democrats’ House leader. Infusions of cash from the former venture capitalist demonstrates how much — and how easily — he’s willing to invest in pursuit of his goal to give his party greater influence in the state Legislature. The November results could determine the fate of Rauner’s proposals to weaken unions, pass business-friendly laws, impose term limits, and change the way legislative districts are drawn for years to come. They also will decide who has control of crafting a full state budget, which Illinois hasn’t had for over a year because Rauner wants Democrats to give him what he wants in exchange for raising taxes to help with a deficit that exceeds $5 billion. Rauner was elected in 2014 as a political newcomer promising to shake up the Democrats’ regime, but they’ve had supermajorities to block all his major proposals. His entry into politics and the spending power he brought with him has allowed Republicans to compete in more races — and a lot earlier than past years when Democrats’ financial resources were superior. Democrats have controlled both chambers of the Legislature since 2003 and have the nation’s longest-tenured state House speaker, Michael Madigan, who has held that post for all but two years since 1983. When Rauner was elected, he became the first Republican in 12 years in Illinois, a Democratic stronghold that hasn’t backed a Republican for president since 1988. Before Rauner, the Illinois Republican Party Committee spent $3.4 million on races in 2012. The Democratic Party of Illinois, meanwhile, spent $6.7 million. Both parties distribute money to candidates through several other committees so those totals don’t tell the entire story, but they’re indicative of each party’s past spending prowess, according to campaign disclosures The Associated Press analyzed dating back to 2006 from the Illinois State Board of Elections. “There’s never been a time in recent history where House Republicans have outspent House Democrats. It’s been a considerable disadvantage,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the GOP’s House leader. Breaking the Democrats’ supermajorities in either chamber won’t be easy because the party enjoys advantages of 71-47 in the House and 39-20 in the Senate. But Durkin said Rauner’s money “for the first time in many years gives us a fighting chance.” Rauner has repeatedly declined to comment on the legislative races or his involvement in them. On the Democrats’ side, their party committees have been less active than the Republicans’ this year. The Democratic Party of Illinois and the Democratic Majority — two of the party’s biggest committees — have contributed a combined $1.6 million to candidates so far. But the Democrats’ candidates have individually amassed robust campaign funds. Democratic Rep. John Bradley, for instance, has $647,160 at his disposal for his closely watched race against Dave Severin in southern Illinois. That’s what makes Rauner’s money so significant in a state where Democrats tend to be more successful fundraisers. The majority of Severin’s $300,000 in campaign cash has come from the House Republican Organization committee, which is receiving large deposits from the Illinois Republican Party to funnel to candidates. Republican Rep. Michael McAuliffe, who Democrats are targeting in the Chicago suburbs, has also benefited from Rauner’s funding. The House Republican Organization has contributed nearly $1 million to his campaign. Television ads supporting McAuliffe have been airing since August, earlier than when either party usually hits the air waves. McAuliffe’s ads have even played outside his district. In the past, Republicans would’ve been reluctant to spend money in August when voters are less engaged. They just couldn’t afford it. In 2012, for example, the Republicans’ two major party committees spent just over $2 million combined from July 1 through Sept. 30. “Some of this spending has nothing to do with the election. It has to do with Rauner flexing his muscle,” said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. That display of financial force can influence who Democrats choose as their gubernatorial candidate next time because they’ll want someone who can self-fund or raise massive amounts of cash, Yepsen said. “Democrats, if they survive, they’re going to know they’ve been in a fight,” he said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Will County officials are considering a plan in which they may opt out of their participation in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, in the wake of a new law that bans newly elected board members from the state pension program. Members of the county board’s executive committee voted to recommend a resolution eliminating the IMRF pension for all county board members, effective Nov. 30. It’s expected to be voted on by the full board at its Sept. 15 meeting. “People should not be coming here to get a pension,” said board member Mike Fricilone, who made the motion to drop the pension benefit, saying Will County should take the lead on this issue. Currently, county officials reported that 17 of the county’s 26 board members participate in the IMRF pension program and the county pays 11.6 percent of a member’s annual salary of $23,000 into the IMRF. Members pay 4.5 percent of their paychecks, according to the IMRF.)

SEE: https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/)
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2016-09-08/man-would-rather-get-fired-watch-diversity-video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Social Security Administration employee who believes he shouldn’t have to watch a workplace diversity video about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, because it violates his religious beliefs, fears he may lose his job because of it. David Hall, 42, of Tolono has worked for the federal agency for 14 years, based in the Champaign office as an area systems coordinator, an information technology position. In late April, Hall said, employees nationwide received an email from the agency about a 17-minute LGBT diversity and inclusion training video that they were told to watch at their work stations. Employees were required to certify that they had seen the video. Hall said he is a Christian — “not anti-anyone or anything,” but “for God, for Jesus” — and believes the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin. So, he didn’t watch it. His supervisor gave him direct orders to do so — first on June 2, then again on June 24. Again, Hall refused both times. As a result, an official reprimand was placed in his file — the first he has ever received, he says — and he was suspended without pay for two days, Aug. 15-16. Part of his problem, he said, is that viewing the video is mandatory, something he doesn’t remember the agency doing with other training videos in the past. So, he asked his supervisors for a religious accommodation to abstain from the training, which was denied. After his suspension, Hall returned to work on Aug. 17. He said his supervisor has explained he will receive further discipline, possibly a longer suspension without pay, if he does not complete the video. Hall said he eventually expects he will lose his job over his refusal to do so. “I think this is an issue they are prepared to go to the mat with, but I’m not going to give up my faith or compromise my beliefs just to go along and get along. I don’t believe God wants me to do that,” Hall said. Responding to questions from The News-Gazette on Wednesday, Doug Nguyen, communications director for the SSA’s Chicago region, wrote in an emailed statement that “in support of an inclusive work environment, as well as exemplary customer service, the Social Security Administration recently announced a diversity and inclusion training on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community to our employees. “This mandatory video training reminds our employees of their responsibility, as representatives of the agency, to provide the highest levels of service to our customers,” Nguyen went on to say. “The training includes a brief session on tips for increasing cultural awareness in a diverse and inclusive environment. We are unable to comment on specific personnel matters.” Because of what he described as deeply held religious beliefs, Hall said he cannot bring himself to comply. He said he believes the Constitution grants him certain rights and religious freedoms, just as it grants certain rights to others. Hall said he supports the rights of the LGBT community to support its position, too, and not asking those who work for the federal government to change their views or lose their jobs. “I’m not judging the LGBT community … But I believe tolerance is a two-way street,” Hall said. “Unfortunately, I believe they’re wrong. But neither of us should lose our jobs or livelihood for our beliefs. “For me, I know I’m not a martyr or a bigot. I’m not asking for anyone’s approval or forgiveness; I’m simply trying to live out my life, my faith and be obedient to the will of God.” Hall said he has prayed about this issue and talked it over with friends and family, including his wife and three kids. With a family to support, a mortgage, car payment and health insurance through his job, Hall said he is taking a risk making this stand. And he said he doesn’t anticipate his supervisors changing their course, eventually leading to him losing his job. “This is something I want to fight and expose,” Hall said, “to give other Christians the courage of their convictions. I can’t tell you how many I’ve worked with that have told me, ‘Dave, we agree with you 100 percent. I wish I had the courage to do that.’ But they’re scared. … Their fears are being realized through me.” Hall said Jason Craddock, a private Chicago attorney, is advising him. Craddock also recently represented the owner of Ford County’s Timber Creek Bed and Breakfast, who objected to hosting same-sex weddings for religious reasons. Earlier this year, the B&B near Paxton that turned down a same-sex couple’s request to hold a civil-union ceremony there in 2011 was ordered by an administrative law judge to pay $30,000 in damages to the couple and $50,000 to their attorneys and to stop violating the Illinois Human Rights Act by denying couples access to the facility based on their sexual orientation. Craddock said he and Hall are still looking at options on how to proceed with the SSA. He said there are many previous cases involving Christians objecting to participating in activities they consider to be sinful, and they are persecuted in the workplace as a result. “Unfortunately, it’s happening more frequently as time goes on,” Craddock said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal employee would rather lose his job at an Illinois Social Security Administration office than view a mandatory workplace diversity video about LGBT inclusion. David Hall, 42, told the News-Gazette that the prejudiced protest over the video is because “I don’t believe God wants me to do that.” Hall said that SSA employees nationwide received an email in late April informing them that watching the 17-minute LGBT diversity video was a requirement and that supervisors would have to certify that everyone had seen it. Hall stubbornly refused, citing his religious opposition to homosexuality. “They wanted me to certify that I had completed the training,” Hall told WCIA. “I’m not going to certify sin.” Hall’s supervisor gave him two direct orders to watch the diversity video, once on June 2 and again on June 24, but he held his ground. Because of his refusal, Hall was suspended without pay from Aug. 15-16 and now is prepared to lose his job for his senseless stand. Hall has hired an attorney and requested a religious accommodation to opt-out of watching the video, but has been denied. “This is something I want to fight and expose,” Hall said, “to give other Christians the courage of their convictions.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two blocks from where I live in Chicago, history was made 156 years ago this past May. The southeast corner of what is now Lake Street and Wacker Drive in the Loop was the site of the Republican National Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. The Republican Party was just six years old in 1860 and Chicago business leaders had hastily constructed an all-wooden structure to attract what was only the second Republican National Convention. Known as the Wigwam, the building was always intended to be temporary, and from all accounts it sounds like it was a bit of a firetrap. But it served its purpose well that year when well over 10,000 delegates and spectators crammed the facility to the rafters. Lincoln himself did not travel to Chicago and instead remained in Springfield where he anxiously monitored reports from his operatives via telegraph. Back then it was considered bad form for any potential nominee to be present at the convention. Lincoln eventually secured the nomination on the third ballot. In Lincoln’s time there was nothing resembling the state-by-state primary system we have today. Back then the good-old-boys procured delegates in the smoke-filled rooms. After the convention the Wigwam saw other uses but it soon fell into disrepair. Fire did finally claim the structure in 1867 (four years prior to the Great Chicago Fire). The only hint remaining of the Wigwam and what happened there is a plaque along the sidewalk in front of a modern office tower at 191 N. Wacker Drive, installed when the location was designated a Chicago Landmark in 2002. We all know what happened after that 1860 convention. Lincoln went on to become one of, if not our greatest President. He freed the slaves, won the Civil War, and saved the Union. Grateful African-Americans made the Republican Party their home for generations. And across the country, GOP organizations at all levels still strap themselves to Lincoln’s mantle at every opportunity. Here in his home-state the annual Lincoln Day Dinner is often the only fundraising event a county Republican organization has. So we all know about the lip service. But how is the Party of Lincoln actually doing in the Land of Lincoln when it comes to preserving the leader’s legacy? Judging by all of the empirical evidence, not so well. The GOP’s good-old-boys of today would make the good-old-boys back in the Wigwam blush. It’s hardly news that black voters these days have rewarded the GOP with paltry support every Election Day. Hispanic participation in the Illinois GOP isn’t much better. And let’s face it, participation in the Republican Party by white Illinoisans hasn’t exactly been anything to brag about either.  So what does Donald Trump have to do with all of this? A lot. In our lifetime we have never had a Republican nominee who so gets it about the rigged system. And Mr. Trump is addressing the problem on two levels. Trump has masterfully attacked the rigged system within both major political parties, and even better, he does a wonderful job exposing the rigged elements within our global economic system. He hits both themes at pretty much every one of his huge rallies. Some say Trump is not a free trader. In truth Trump does believe in free trade, but it has to be fair trade. Overly complex trade agreements entered into by weak U.S. representatives who got bamboozled at the negotiating table have delivered deals which are disadvantageous to the average American. Trade resulting from these bad deals is neither fair nor free. Donald Trump literally wrote the book on negotiation. Granted, as President he won’t have the luxury of being able to sit at every negotiating table. But hiring is another arena where Trump excels. He’ll bring on the best people and replace the pushovers with tough, seasoned professionals. It’s all about bringing back jobs and getting America working again. Donald Trump is a builder and he knows how to inspire. From a speech in June: “Americans are the people that tamed the West, that dug out the Panama Canal, that sent satellites across the solar system, that built the great dams and so much more. Then we really started thinking small. Something happened. Something happened to our mentality. We started thinking small. We stopped believing in what America could do, and became reliant on other countries, other people and other institutions. We lost our sense of purpose and daring. But that’s not who we are.”  Trump wants to keep building big things, and that’s a message that resonates with African-Americans and Hispanics as much as with anyone else. He’s been refreshingly honest about how his life up to now has been about accumulating wealth for himself and his family. Now at 70 years of age he wants to devote his skill set to helping all Americans climb the economic ladder. Every election cycle Republican candidates talk about reaching out to minority communities – but that’s all it’s been, talk. In Mr. Trump we finally have a standard-bearer who can back-up the rhetoric with a decades-long record of creating thousands of real jobs for men and women of all races and creeds. On the opposite bank of the Chicago River and just half-a-dozen blocks away from the site of Lincoln’s nomination is Trump International Hotel and Tower. The second tallest building in the City, it’s also considerably safer and more permanent than the old Wigwam. The betterment which a Trump Administration will bring to the lives of all Americans left behind and taken-for-granted by the politicians of both parties can be just as strong and permanent. And in four years Mr. Lincoln might just recognize that party of freedom, opportunity, and inclusiveness which he helped found.)

— Diversity — History’s Pathway To Chaos – Victor Davis Hanson  (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to promote discrimination.  To promote diversity is a) to promote giving preference to those who are minority, female, and/or younger, and therefore b) to promote discrimination against those who are White, male, and/or older. Because I have always opposed such discrimination, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and counties that promote diversity have always worked against me.)
http://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/victor-davis-hanson-diversity-historys-pathway-to-chaos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations throughout history.  The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon prove a fatal liability. Rome disintegrated when it became unable to assimilate new influxes of northern European tribes. Newcomers had no intention of giving up their Gothic, Hunnish or Vandal identities. The propaganda of history’s multicultural empires — the Ottoman, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian, the British and the Soviet — was never the strength of their diversity. To avoid chaos, their governments bragged about the religious, ideological or royal advantages of unity, not diversity. Nor did more modern quagmires like Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Rwanda or Yugoslavia boast that they were “diverse.” Instead, their strongman leaders naturally claimed that they shared an all-encompassing commonality. When such coerced harmony failed, these nations suffered the even worse consequences of diversity, as tribes and sects turned murderously upon each other. For some reason, contemporary America believes that it can reject its uniquely successful melting pot to embrace a historically dangerous and discredited salad-bowl separatism. Is there any evidence from the past that institutionalizing sects and ethnic grievances would ensure a nation’s security, prosperity and freedom? America’s melting pot is history’s sole exception of E pluribus unum inclusivity: a successful multiracial society bound by a common culture, language and values. But this is a historic aberration with a future that is now in doubt. Some students attending California’s Claremont College openly demand roommates of the same race. Racially segregated “safe spaces” are fixtures on college campuses. We speak casually of bloc voting on the basis of skin color — as if a lockstep Asian, Latino, black or white vote is a good thing. We are reverting to the nihilism of the old Confederacy. The South’s “one-drop rule” has often been copied to assure employers or universities that one qualifies as a minority. Some public figures have sought to play up or invent diversity advantages. Sometimes, as in the cases of Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal and Ward Churchill, the result is farce. Given our racial fixations, we may soon have to undergo computer scans of our skin colors to rank competing claims of grievance. How does one mete out the relative reparations for various atrocities of the past, such as slavery, the Holocaust, the American Indian wars, the Asian or Catholic exclusion laws, indentured servitude, or the mid-18th-century belief that the Irish were not quite human? Sanctuary cities, in the manner of 1850s Richmond or Charleston invoking nullification, now openly declare themselves immune from federal law. Does that defiance ensure every city the right to ignore whatever federal laws it finds inconvenient, from the filing of 1040s to voting laws. The diversity industry hinges on U.S. citizens still envisioning a shrinking white population as the “majority.” Yet “white” is now not always easily definable, given intermarriage and constructed identities. In California, those who check “white” on Orwellian racial boxes are now a minority. Will white Californians soon nightmarishly declare themselves aggrieved minorities and thus demand affirmative action, encourage Viking-like names such as Ragnar or Odin, insert umlauts and diereses into their names to hype their European bona fides, seek segregated European-American dorms and set up “Caucasian Studies” programs at universities? Women now graduate from college at a higher rate than men. Will there be a male effort to ensure affirmative action for college admissions and graduation rates? If the white vote reaches 70% for a particular candidate, is that really such a good thing, as it was considered to be when President Obama was praised for capturing 95% of the black vote? It is time to step back from the apartheid brink. Even onetime diversity advocate Oprah Winfrey has had second thoughts about the lack of commonality in America. She recently vowed to quit using the word “diversity” and now prefers “inclusion.” A Latino-American undergraduate who is a student of Shakespeare is not “culturally appropriating” anyone’s white-European legacy, but instead seeking transcendence of ideas and a common humanity. Asian-Americans are not “overrepresented” at premier campuses. Their high-profile presence should be praised as a model, not punished as aberrant by number-crunching bureaucrats. African-Americans who excel in physics and engineering are not “acting white” but finding the proper pathways for their natural talents. Being one-half Southeast Asian or three-quarters white is not the touchstone to one’s essence and is irrelevant to one’s character and conduct. No one is impinging on anyone’s culture when blacks dye their hair blond, or when blondes prefer to wear cornrow braids. Campuses desperately need unity czars, not diversity czars. Otherwise, we will end up as 50 separate and rival nations — just like other failed states in history whose diverse tribes and races destroyed themselves in a Hobbesian dog-eat-dog war with one another.)
