September 25 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Bruce Rauner says he’s a centrist while Republican, Democratic parties dominated by extremes – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Since at least 1977, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative extremists. These anti-conservative extremists reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the IRP platform. These anti-conservative extremists do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of the IRP, that is, they do everything that they can to destroy the IRP.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-illinois-governors-race-rauner-calls-himself-a-centrist-20180924-story.html
— Rauner reaching out to suburban women – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-attorney-general-editorial-board-meeting-20180924-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban women have been a critical factor in deciding special elections this year and, amid their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is reaching out in a new ad. The ad features Anne Wedner, a former backer of President Barack Obama, who is founder of Kent Road Strategies, who has worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns with a focus on the North Shore. Billing herself as a lifelong Democrat, Wedner touts her childhood support for the Equal Rights Amendment and her dissatisfaction with national politics — a distancing effort from Trump aimed at helping Rauner in the suburbs while he seeks Trump supporter backing Downstate. “Today, I’m not happy with Washington and I’m also heartbroken about Illinois,” she says. “We have to fix our financial problems and Bruce Rauner is the only candidate with the courage to do it,” she adds. Wedner goes on to say the election “isn’t about party politics. This is about saving our state.” The suburban collar counties voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton over Trump — except for McHenry County — in the 2016 presidential and there are GOP fears that moderate suburban women will be a major factor in Illinois’ November elections because of the controversial president. The ad can be viewed here.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/tax-cuts-republican-congress-midterm-elections/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Plus, 2.0 would make more cuts to the estate tax that’s paid by only about 5,000 wealthy families — while permanently capping the $10,000 SALT (state and local tax) deduction that millions of taxpayers use. There’s more, but you get the drift.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting to save his Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh was joined by his wife Monday for a Fox News interview. Ashley Estes Kavanaugh is a town manager in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a former aide in George W. Bush’s White House, where she and Kavanaugh met. The interview was powerful proof that, even in the #MeToo moment, Wynette’s call to “show the world you love him” still carries weight, as it did for Clinton, even though she disparaged the song. The comparison is especially fitting given Kavanaugh’s role — as associate counsel in the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr — in proposing sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Asked by Fox’s Martha MacCallum whether she doubted her husband, the mother of two daughters replied, “No. I mean, I know Brett — I’ve known him for 17 years.” “And,” she continued, as her husband glanced sideways to look plaintively at her, “this is not at all characteristic. It’s really hard to believe. He’s decent. He’s kind. He’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with Brett.”)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-internet/china-shuts-thousands-of-websites-in-clean-up-campaign-xinhua-idUSKCN1M302F
(FROM THE ARTICLE: China has shut down more than 4,000 websites and online accounts in a three-month campaign against “harmful” online information, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday, citing the country’s illegal publication watchdog. China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytizing and even “spreading rumors”. In a campaign that started in May, the authorities tackled 120 violations and ordered 230 firms to rectify irregularities. More than 147,000 pieces of harmful information were removed by the end of August, according to China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications. Xinhua said the campaign targeted content in online fiction that spread improper values, vulgarity and obscenity, as well as content that infringed on copyright. Authorities announced last week that they had busted a live-streaming pornography platform hosted in Cambodia and said to have more than 3.5 million registered users.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/business/brett-kavanaugh-yearbook-renate.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh’s page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the teenage years of the man who is now President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach. Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry: “Renate Alumnius.” The word “Renate” appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983 yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls’ school. Two of Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of the football players’ unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests. “They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” said Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge Kavanaugh and his teammates. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.”)

DAILY CALLER
— JUDGE KAVANAUGH STILL HAS HIS SOCIAL CALENDAR FROM 1982 – Virginia Kruta (DIERSEN: What was on your social calendar when you were 17? My social calendar was virtually empty. I worked as a part-time dishwasher for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with the money that I had earned and saved washing dishes. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. Nevertheless, I got accepted by UIC. During the summer of 1966, I worked as a golf shoe cleaner for the Flossmoor Country Club, as a slag chipper for Thrall Car in Chicago Heights, and as a gasoline pumper for John’s Sinclair in South Chicago Heights. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I saved money for college expenses. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

Because of tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to get rid of Republicans to make way for them, GAO’s culture was especially unwelcoming for its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interesting twist, GOP Congressman Peter Roskam’s team hopes 6th District voters reject Democrat Sean Casten for the same reason they turned on Donald Trump in 2016. Republicans see Casten as vitriolic — in a President Trump sort of way — which would be a turn-off for Hillary Clinton supporters. Roskam ran away with a victory two years ago and those 6th District voters also gave Clinton a 7-point victory over Trump. Roskam’s supporters point to Casten’s Twitter storm Friday as an example of the Democrat’s lack of decorum. Between 7:36 a.m. and 7:48 a.m., Casten spit out 11 tweets that addressed Roskam’s record on everything from aid to Harvey victims to the Violence Against Women Act. Casten called Roskam “amoral,” saying the congressman “gives money to those who don’t need it, so they will in turn give him money to help stay in power and give them more.” Casten spokesman Greg Bale says it’s wishful thinking on Roskam’s part that 6th District Dems would side with a Republican this November. “They’re trying to create a narrative that’s just not there. The issues that we’re seeing driving this are choice (and we know Roskam is unapologetically anti-choice) and health care. That’s what voters are paying attention to.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But she said it was office Executive Director Randy Erford who failed to tell the commission about 27 allegations of wrongdoing sitting in a drawer, some for up to two years, while there wasn’t a full-blown LIG. “The fact that we had allegations coming in and were going unanswered, yeah, I was disappointed in that,” McConnaughay said. Beyond that, McConnaughay said she didn’t want to judge Erford without knowing what standards he was being held to, “which don’t appear to be many,” she said.)

http://www.herald-dispatch.com/business/are-american-muscle-cars-in-peril/article_3d7fb7d0-1ce0-50c1-8d93-3a820c3eea07.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet U.S. sales of the iconic Mustang, which leads the segment in 2018, fell 13 percent in 2016, almost 23 percent last year and 5 percent during the first half of this year. Sports car sales, including those from foreign brands, also have dropped during the past two years. Most muscle cars are owned by Baby Boomers, roughly 74 million people who were born from 1946 through 1964. But the youngest of the boomers are in their mid-50s now, and many are past their peak earning years and don’t have the money for a third car to go cruising. As the generation ages and enters retirement years, they’ll buy fewer new vehicles and fewer muscle cars will be sold.)

I should write a book about those in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party who focus on promoting age discrimination.

How ‘Hyphenated Americans’ Won World War I
— Nearly a quarter of the men sent to fight in Europe in 1918 were foreign-born. – Geoffrey Wawro (DIERSEN: My grandfather on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWI. In 1844, his ancestors immigrated to Chicago from what is now Germany.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/12/opinion/how-hyphenated-americans-won-world-war-i.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Without American intervention, the war would have probably ended in a German victory, or sputtered to a stalemate, leaving the Germans in possession of much of France, Belgium and Russia. The victory, though, came at significant cost: In the Meuse-Argonne offensive, as the operation came to be known, the Americans alone suffered some 122,000 casualties, including 29,000 dead. That more than a million Americans were fighting in a European war was surprising enough. But even more surprising was the men themselves: Pershing’s soldiers, known as the American Expeditionary Force, were in some units as likely to be foreign- as American-born. Thanks to a wave of immigration, the United States had changed significantly at the turn of the 20th century, going from a nation whose white population was 60 percent British and 35 percent German at the start of the Civil War into a turbulent “melting pot” in time for the Great War: 11 percent British, 20 percent German, 30 percent Italian and Hispanic and 34 percent Slavic.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Can You Afford to Retire? See if your retirement nest egg is future-proofed (DIERSEN: My and my wife’s being able to “afford” my taking my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old emboldened them to force me to take their “offer.” They knew a) what my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension would be, b) what my wife’s salary was, c) what our federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy would be, d) what we had already saved for our retirement, e) what our other savings were, f) that we had no debts, g) that we had no dependents, h) the value of our home, i) the value of the cars that we owned, j) etc. My $51,864 CSRS pension is only 41% of what my $125,325 GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)

— Senate Confirms Charles Rettig as IRS Commissioner Trump’s pick to head tax agency confirmed in 64-33 vote – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: If Rettig had been the IRS Commissioner when I worked for IRS 1971-1980, would he have let my Democrat IRS superiors a) fail/refuse to promote me beyond GS-12, disallow my education deductions in 1978, get rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallow my partial day per diem claims in 1974? I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. Of course, my Democrat IRS superiors wanted my Democrat GAO superiors to a) force me to take a $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) keep me off audits of IRS; c) get rid of my mentor in 1987; d) not promote me; e) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes; f) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals; and g) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Thank Heaven for Bigger Boys Like good men, they protected us when I was a little girl. – Angela Rocco DeCarlo
https://www.wsj.com/articles/thank-heaven-for-bigger-boys-1536792869
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some time after my eldest brother, Christy, had died, I was visiting our Chicago Far West Side neighborhood, affectionately known as “The Island.” A three-square-block enclave corralled by the towns of Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park and a factory district, including a facility that manufactured asbestos gaskets. In windows-open summers sometimes the detritus could be seen floating along. No one seemed worried. It was like living in Disneyland where you thought nothing bad could happen to you. But walking alone on the sidewalk past our school after the funeral, I felt out of kilter. I became aware of a feeling I’d never experienced as a child. I felt afraid. Alone. I no longer felt protected as I always had.)
— Cannabis Comes to Your Coffee and Candy—But Is It Legal? Marketers are selling products containing cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical found in hemp, claiming benefits such as pain relief and stress reduction. But the actual effects are unclear, as is the legal landscape. CBD candies include Lord Jones Natural Fruit Gumdrops with 20 milligrams of CBD per piece. Veggimins Dark Chocolate Hearts have 2 milligrams each. – Anne Marie Chaker (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, pot pushers push pot.)

— Enemies Within – Lloyd Marcus (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Beyond tragically, beyond unacceptably, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. lets people who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform hold leadership positions. Worse yet, the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc. lets these platform plank rejecters drive people like me who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/09/enemies_within.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, we have allowed the American left (public education, Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and fake news media) to indoctrinate our children, teaching them that America sucks and is the greatest source of pain and suffering for people both here and abroad. We’re still allowing leftists to mold and shape our kids into their anti-Christian radical progressive image as early as preschool. Consequently, we have young adults in positions of power and influence who literally hate their country. Like sleeper cells, leftist young enemies-within operatives are seeking to bring down by any means necessary America as founded, openly advocating violence and treason. Mega-millionaire pro-football player Colin Kaepernick is an operative of the leftist young enemies within movement. Nike executives who gifted Kaepernick hero status for hating his country are also members of the young enemies within movement. Facebook and Twitter are active members of the movement, boldly censoring conservative, patriotic, and Christian speech, claiming that such talk is hateful. Starbucks executives believe the leftist lie that America is overrun with rabid racists. Therefore, Starbucks sales clerks were instructed to lecture customers about race when ordering coffee. I suspect that Starbucks clerks lectured only white customers. Upon suggesting that a Millennial family member visit Mt. Rushmore while visiting South Dakota, that person’s venomous response was, “I wouldn’t go across the street to visit those guys.” Clearly, public school taught my young white relative that the men carved in Mt. Rushmore were evil racist white slave-owners.)
