CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE OF DABROWSKI: Republican race for Illinois governor already spiraling downward over questionable campaign tactics. DD: The Chicago Tribune ever-increasingly does everything that it can a) to determine which candidates win Republican primaries in Illinois and b) to defeat those candidates in general elections.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The devolution of Illinois’ Republican Party continued Tuesday as a candidate for governor refused to denounce two political operatives tied to a right-wing fake newspaper website that published a story containing an internet link detailing salacious allegations against a rival, while a new candidate emerged with a controversial background as a gambling mogul. At a brief news conference, GOP governor candidate Ted Dabrowski refused to discuss the public disclosure of a years-old draft harassment complaint involving rival Darren Bailey and his 2022 campaign. The allegations, stemming from Bailey’s failed 2022 bid for governor, were never formally filed in court and have not been verified, but were linked to a politically motivated news article shared online. Dabrowski, former president of the conservative research and advocacy group Wirepoints, also would not answer questions about Jeanne Ives and right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, both of whom supported Bailey in 2022 but are now backing Dabrowski. Ives is an acolyte of Proft, and Proft has been a business partner of Brian Timpone, who oversees one of many so-called “pink-slime” publications — fake newspapers used as a political tool — that included a link to the unverified claims. Ives, who has lost previous bids for governor and Congress, also posted the article with the link on her Facebook page. “Ordinary Illinoisans, Chicagoans, Illinoisans, don’t care about political infighting between campaigns. And I’m not going to get into that,” Dabrowski said during the news conference, which lasted less than 10 minutes. The GOP race for governor in the March 17 primary and the right to take on billionaire second-term Democrat JB Pritzker began spiraling late last week when a Timpone-run publication posted the link to a 37-page confidential draft lawsuit within an online article about a political action committee called the Save Illinois PAC. That PAC, which spent over $39,500 to help launch Bailey’s second bid for the Republican nomination for governor, is run by Brett Corrigan, a former political worker for Bailey who made the allegations during Bailey’s first run for governor in 2022, when he was 17 years old. The Tribune is not detailing the allegations contained in the draft lawsuit because it was never filed in court and not verified, and the legal dispute apparently ended in a closed-door resolution between Corrigan and Bailey. The Chicago Tribune first reported on the dispute between Corrigan and the Bailey campaign days before the November 2022 general election. At the time of the 2022 campaign, Proft was supportive of Bailey and used his People Who Play By The Rules PAC to back the Republican former state lawmaker from downstate. Proft, of Naples, Florida, also has been the conduit of tens of millions of dollars in contributions to Illinois candidates from conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest, who founded the Uline office supply distribution firm. Uihlein, in 2022, overwhelmingly funded the People Who Play By The Rules PAC, but this year has given $250,000 to Dabrowski’s campaign. In 2022, Proft sought to inject himself into the potential litigation between Corrigan and Bailey. By law, the PAC was not supposed to coordinate its spending activities with Bailey’s campaign but text messages show efforts by Proft to try to intercede in the legal matter, raising questions over whether Proft was closer to the campaign than previously acknowledged. After Corrigan retained Orland Park attorney Scott Kaspar to pursue a proposed confidential settlement agreement, Proft weighed in, apparently in an effort to quash the filing of a possible lawsuit that could become public ahead of the 2022 general election. Pritzker ended up defeating Bailey by about 13 percentage points. The Democratic Party of Illinois filed a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections the day after the Tribune story was published, alleging Proft and Bailey’s campaign illegally coordinated their efforts to oppose Pritzker’s reelection bid. But the board rejected the complaint last year, in part, because Illinois law does not specifically define what activities constitute “coordination” that would render the actions of an independent expenditure PAC and the candidate it supports illegal. “While Darren Bailey and (his lieutenant governor running mate) Aaron Del Mar are focused on defeating Democrats and fixing Illinois, it’s unfortunate that Jeanne Ives is once again reprising her role as the Democrats’ favorite ‘Republican,’” Bailey campaign spokesman Jose Durbin said in a statement. “Jeanne Ives is a sore loser who’s been bitter ever since she couldn’t even beat (former one-term GOP Gov.) Bruce Rauner in a Republican primary. She’s made a career out of attacking fellow conservatives instead of fighting Democrats. At this point, she’s nothing more than a political grifter looking for attention.” Besides sharing the faux-news article and link on her Facebook page, Ives also commented on it by writing, “The Bailey Clown Show and Grift.” Appearing at Dabrowski’s news conference Tuesday, she denied being the source of the draft complaint. “I have no idea who leaked it. Zero idea,” Ives said. “I was concerned about the ‘Save Illinois PAC.’ They raise monies for reasons that they never told the donors at all. And then they gave $40,000 to the Bailey campaign. I mean, that was the bigger concern for me.” Despite hosting a Bailey kickoff event earlier this year in Oak Brook, Corrigan has now left Bailey’s 2026 campaign, signing up as chair for a new contender, Rick Heidner of Barrington Hills, a real estate developer and founder of Gold Rush Gaming. Heidner filed campaign finance paperwork Tuesday to run for the GOP governor nomination with Homer Glen Mayor Christina Neitzke-Troike as his running mate. He also disclosed that he had seeded his campaign with $1 million. In October 2019, a Chicago Tribune investigation revealed that for nearly two decades, Heidner owned numerous commercial properties via shell companies in several states with Rocco Suspenzi, the longtime chairman and part owner of Parkway Bank and Trust in Harwood Heights. In 2003, the Illinois Gaming Board and the FBI exposed Suspenzi and son Jeffrey for concealing their own ownership stake, as well as that of a reputed mob figure, in the infamous Emerald casino project. Suspenzi and his son invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in 2005 when the Gaming Board sought to question them about their role in concealing the ownership stakes of reputed Outfit-linked investors Vito Salamone and Nick Boscarino. At the same time, Heidner had a similar real estate partnership with convicted bookmaker Dominic Buttitta. Together, they owned a building in Elgin that was leased to a bar licensed for video gambling that used Heidner’s Gold Rush machines. In 2012, Buttitta pleaded guilty to federal charges of running an illegal sportsbook from the South Elgin strip club he controlled. The revelations led in part to Pritzker’s decision to cancel the sale of the former Tinley Park Mental Health Center property, which Heidner had sought to purchase for a horse racing and casino facility. In April 2021, Heidner and state gaming regulators reached a settlement after the state withdrew allegations that he had offered an illegal $5 million inducement to purchase a rival video gambling chain. Heidner has been a frequent political donor, in February giving $25,000 to the conservative Republican group McHenry GOPAC and in 2022 he gave $25,000 to Richard Irvin, the former mayor of Aurora, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for governor that year. But Heidner has also contributed to Democratic candidates, including $25,000 to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and $5,000 to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in 2023, as well as $5,000 to Don Harmon, now the president of the Illinois Senate, in 2017. Corrigan confirmed that he’s supporting Heidner, stating that he and Heidner have been good friends for a long time. But Corrigan said he still considers Bailey a friend, though there are people who could take their previous falling out “to make a mess of politics.” “It seems like Republicans attack each other harder than the opposition does,” Corrigan said. Kaspar echoed that sentiment, saying the infighting is “a sad testament of the state of the Illinois Republican Party.” “It’s a very fractured party,” said Kaspar, the general counsel for the Illinois Review, a conservative website that published an article about the draft complaint saga this week.)

— How Donald Trump can show his support for immigrants who do it right. DD: What about offering more work permits for citizens of foreign countries who will take bad jobs that citizens of America ever-increasingly refuse to take? But wait, citizens of foreign countries can get bad jobs in their motherlands. How many citizens of foreign countries would take the bad jobs that I took? I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1971-1972. I pumped more gasoline 1971-1972. I collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I audited federal agencies 1980-1997. According to my critics/opponents, a) all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never have stooped to take and b) I was grossly overpaid for those jobs and my pension and retirement benefits are much too generous.

(OSC: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. OSC’s statutory authority comes from four federal laws: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). OSC’s primary mission is to safeguard the merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), especially reprisal for whistleblowing. For a description of the 14 PPPs, click here. OSC also operates as a secure channel for federal employees to blow the whistle by disclosing wrongdoing. Federal law establishes a unique process for disclosures made to OSC, intended to protect the confidentiality of the whistleblower and ensure that the alleged wrongdoing is investigated and, where necessary, corrected. For a description of the six types of covered wrongdoing, click here. In addition, OSC enforces the Hatch Act, which puts certain restrictions on partisan political activity by government employees (learn more). It also protects the civilian employment and reemployment rights of military service members under USERRA (learn more).)

They wanted her to fail. Virtually none of my GS-13 coworkers volunteered to work for her. The GS-14s were furious that I volunteered to work for her. I volunteered to work for her because they would not assign me to the group that would audit IRS and auditing federal financial industry regulators was my best alternative. But beyond that, I was impressed by the fact that she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. The GS-14s were intimidated by that; but I was not. While the GS-14s did everything that they could to make her fail, I did everything that I could to help her succeed. But nevertheless, in when I was 49 years old in September of 1997, she took the lead in forcing me to retire.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— GOP Leader Norine Hammond Takes $50K from Liberal Groups Backing Transgender Lessons, Mask Mandates, Anti-Trump Agendas
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/10/gop-leader-norine-hammond-takes-50k-from-liberal-groups-backing-transgender-lessons-mask-mandates-anti-trump-agendas.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Representative and Deputy House Republican Leader Norine Hammond (R-Macomb) is drawing sharp criticism from conservatives after campaign finance records revealed she accepted $50,000 from far-left teachers’ unions that have long opposed Republican priorities and the Trump agenda. According to filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections, Hammond received $10,000 from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2024 and $40,000 from IPACE, the Illinois Political Action Committee for Education, in 2022. Both organizations are deeply connected to progressive causes, including transgender curriculum in schools, abortion expansion, and classroom DEI mandates. The donations are now fueling questions about Hammond’s alignment with the same liberal institutions her conservative constituents overwhelmingly reject. In 2024, roughly 70 percent of voters in her 94th District backed Donald Trump, signaling clear support for conservative and pro-family policies. Yet Hammond’s recent record tells a different story. In 2023, she voted with Democrats to expand “gender-affirming” patient rights legislation – allowing broader access to taxpayer-funded services for transgender individuals, including minors. The bill was celebrated by progressive activists and condemned by conservatives as an overreach that undermines parental rights and faith-based medical freedoms. The AFT, led by Randi Weingarten, was a driving force behind extended school shutdowns, student mask mandates, and the promotion of controversial and pornographic books in classrooms. The $40,000 from IPACE ties Hammond even closer to Springfield’s left-wing education establishment, which routinely funds Democrats pushing transgender policies, abortion rights, and the removal of parental oversight in schools.)

I should write about how Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have treated me since 2000. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or e) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oct/15/news-organizations-including-hegseths-former-employer-fox-reject/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon has said the rules establish “common sense media procedures” and wants news outlets to sign a statement acknowledging them, even if they don’t agree with them. The news outlets have said that they are concerned, however, that their reporters will be subject to expulsion if they simply try to report news not approved by Hegseth. The Pentagon’s new press policy undermines the First Amendment and AP’s core values as an independent global news organization,” the AP said in its statement. “The restrictions impede the public’s access to information about their government and limit the people’s right to know. AP remains focused on continuing to produce strong independent coverage of the Pentagon in the public interest.”)

— Pope Leo condemns economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury. Pope Leo XIV has criticized how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. DD: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being undeservedly wealthy. It all started when I was 17 years old in 1966 when I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I bought that car with money I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage for 18 months. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1968 when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE. In my defense, I bought those cars with money I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette. I my defense, I bought that car with money I earned working for IRS and working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park. I my defense, I bought that town home with money I earned working for IRS and working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights.

— The Most Dangerous Jobs in America and What They Pay. DD: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. Because my ACT score was only 24 and because I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, one could argue that because I did the aforesaid, just about anyone could. I graduated from NIU in 1970. In 1971, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary was only $55,850/year.
https://www.newsweek.com/most-dangerous-jobs-america-what-they-pay-10871576
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The most dangerous jobs in the United States don’t always have the payoff of a sky-high salary, according to a new report from Resume Now. In fact, some of the riskiest roles don’t even clear $60,000. . .Based on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, drivers/truck drivers had some of the most dangerous, lowest-paying jobs in America. With a fatality rate of 984 in 2023, this group only brought a median pay of $57,440.)

MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE
— About those federal workers people so love to hate … Perhaps you just don’t know what they’re doing for you. DD: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I have been a federal retiree for more than 28 years. I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees the most.
https://www.startribune.com/about-those-federal-workers-people-so-love-to-hate/601225654
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I am tired of hearing about the federal workers of this country. They are lazy. They are overpaid. They are incompetent. There is no need for their work. For almost 40 years I have listened to this, and now I have to watch these workers be thrown from their jobs in the middle of the night. Why? Please meet a federal worker, my husband. He used his Bachelor of Science degree to work for the Department of Defense and then the National Weather Service. He worked jobs that required schedules of six days on and two days off, rotating shifts from midnights to days to evenings, and most holidays were worked. He didn’t get many weekends off, or holidays, but it didn’t matter because we never got to live near family. We moved a lot in support of the work. In our 40-plus years of marriage the closest we have ever lived near family was for the one year when we were within a three-hour drive of my family. Otherwise, family has been anywhere from 1,500 miles to 4,000 miles away. My husband could have taken a job in the private sector, working as an engineer as most of his friends did, where the paychecks would have been much greater. No, he was determined that his place was working to serve our government. So, for 40-plus years we have watched everyone around us celebrating holidays with family, enjoying weekends with family, and raking in the dollars of the private sector. We have kept our mouths shut when conversations turned to raking over the federal worker. No more!)

— First of Its Kind Federal Workforce Career Center Opens in Wheaton. DD: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. In today’s dollars, that meant a $86,371/year (56%) loss of income ($153,151/year salary minus $66,780/year Civil Service Retirement System pension). My Democrat GAO superiors not only did not help me find a job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license, they sabotaged my job search. I should write about that.

EDUCATION NEXT
— The Predictive Power of Standardized Tests. DD: What standardized tests have you taken? If I had not taken and passed standardized tests, a) UIC would not accepted in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992, b) I would not have earned degrees from NIU in 1970, Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997, c) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, Firestone Stores in 1970, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, d) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. I took and passed the postal employment examination in 1966, Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, CPA examination in 1979, and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination in 1981. I passed the CPA and CIA examinations on my first attempt. Since 1966, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe my test taking successes to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

NEWSWEEK
— ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-rappel-black-hawk-helicopters-chicago-10809228
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter onto the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings, launching a sweeping immigration enforcement operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, according to NewsNation. The operation, led by ICE with support from the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol, was designed to apprehend high-priority targets connected to the Venezuelan crime syndicate that U.S. authorities have accused of trafficking, violence, and other cross-border crimes. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January designating Mexican drug cartels and other Latin American criminal groups like the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. His administration is ramping up immigration enforcement operations in Chicago after he threatened to deploy the National Guard to quell crime in the city. Nearly 300 federal agents and officers descended upon a five-story apartment complex in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, where U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino has claimed members of Tren de Aragua have been operating, according to NewsNation. The outlet reported that roughly 30 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody, several of them suspected of gang affiliation. Bovino told NewsNation that the operation proceeded “very smoothly” after federal officers and agents spent several days training for the targeted enforcement effort. Bovino, who is overseeing the ongoing operation in Chicago, added that residents of the South Side should expect an increased federal presence in the area.)

— As time goes on, it is ever-increasingly clear that my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican reject planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote, most commonly its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. The more of the aforesaid planks that they reject, the more and bigger adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me. I should write about my critics/opponents and the big adverse actions that they have had their operatives and dupes take against me. – Dave Diersen
