CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— League of Women Voters targets youngest in electorate – Suzanne Baker  (DIERSEN: Democrats have always targeted the “youngest in electorate.”  Democrats shout at young people that Republicans have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all their problems.  Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that virtually all employers are Democrats, and that therefore, if you are not a Democrat, you will not be able to get a job.  GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Suit: Ex portrayed woman as Trump supporter in fake Facebook page – Matthew Hendrickson
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/suit-ex-portrayed-woman-as-trump-supporter-in-fake-facebook-page/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Cook County woman is asking Facebook to turn over information that could identify a person who created multiple fake Facebook profiles using her picture to imply that she supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Gjadear Adi says the profiles were created by a man whose family’s marriage proposal was rejected by her, according to the petition filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court. She wants to get information from Facebook about the creator to file a defamation lawsuit against that person, according to court documents. The accounts were opened under different names since July using Adi’s pictures, including several of her without her hijab, a veil traditionally worn by Muslim women to cover their heads and chests, the petition said. Adi is a practicing Muslim. Another fake profile said under the page’s education tab that she “studied lying at the University of Illinois at Chicago.” The creator of one of the fake accounts also posted photos of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as a ploy to make it appear Adi supports Trump, “whose anti-Muslim rhetoric is highly offensive, especially to Muslims,” according to the petition. Adi claims the stress of being portrayed as a Trump supporter and appearing publicly without her hijab has caused panic attacks. The accounts were believed to have been created by a man who Adi had a previous courtship, according to the petition. The man, also a Muslim, would be aware of how damaging the photos and accusations against her could be to her standing in her family and community.)

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN NEWS
— MORE PREDATORY AND CORRUPT BEHAVIOR BY POLITICIANS – Kent Kellar  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who focus on a) stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails out and b) stopping everyone from reading those emails.)
http://conservativerepublicannews.com/2016/09/23/more-predatory-and-corrupt-behavior-by-politicians/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s an interesting issue to ponder. Is corruption rampant in government because the perverse incentive structure of politics turns good people into bad people? Or do bad people naturally gravitate to government and politics because it’s the easiest (and legal, though generally immoral) way to take money from other people? I guess this is like a chicken-and-egg question with no clear answer, though Mark Twain preferred the latter interpretation. Though he was being too narrow. Yes, Congress if filled with people who are willing to use coercion to take money from ordinary people in order to line the pockets of their cronies, but this is also true for politicians and bureaucrats in the executive branch, as well as their counterparts at the state and local level.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Sandack resigned after explicit video sent to others
http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago/report-sandack-resigned-after-explicit-video-sent-to-others/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Republican state Rep. Ron Sandack, once a top ally of Gov. Bruce Rauner, resigned from the Illinois Legislature after several people viewed a sexually graphic video featuring the former lawmaker that was temporarily posted to Facebook, Politico is reporting. Politico, citing anonymous sources, reports that the “encounter” with the woman was recorded and posted to Sandack’s social media accounts with several of his contacts tagged in the video. Sandack previously has said he was extorted via Facebook and Skype by a woman who lured him “to engage in inappropriate online conversations.” Once Republicans learned of the video and its surfacing, a top state operative urged Sandack to resign, Politico reports. Sandack issued a statement to Politico denying he was asked to resign but didn’t address questions about the existence of the video or whether it was distributed to others. Reached Friday morning, a Sandack spokesman told the Chicago Sun-Times that Sandack would have no further comment. Last week, Sandack said he was extorted by a woman who lured him “to engage in inappropriate online conversations.” His admission came after Downers Grove police released new details about the bizarre episode in 34 pages of reports that conclude they can’t seek criminal charges in the case because the apparent perpetrator or perpetrators live in the Philippines. The police reports — much of them redacted — paint a picture of a middle-aged man sucked into a scheme that began with him communicating with a young woman online and ended with him feeling compelled to send her money and seeing a fake Facebook account set up in his name. The Sun-Times and other news outlets have asked the Illinois attorney general’s office to review whether those redactions are legal under the state’s Freedom of Information Act. The attorney general’s office is reviewing those requests. Whether the fake Facebook account contained potentially embarrassing information is unclear. Large portions of the police documents remain redacted. Sandack wired money to the Philippines because he felt threatened, according to police, who classified the case as “extortion.” In his statement last week, Sandack — who became Rauner’s most vocal ally in the Illinois House — said the woman lured him in. “This past July, I was the target of an international crime ring focusing on high-profile individuals luring them to engage in inappropriate online conversations with the intent of extortion,” Sandack said then. “I took their bait and fell for it hook, line and sinker. “Poor decisions on my part enabled me to be a victim and, as a responsible citizen, I reported it and have been working with the police.” Sandack, 52, who as a state lawmaker was very active on social media, abruptly resigned from the Legislature on July 24. He is a former Downers Grove mayor.)

POLITICO
— How a video led to the downfall of rising Republican star Ron Sandack – Natasha Korecki
http://www.politico.com/states/illinois/story/2016/09/how-a-compromising-video-led-to-the-downfall-of-a-gop-rising-star-105736
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to sources who spoke to POLITICO on the condition of anonymity, when Republicans learned that a video had surfaced, a top state operative urged Sandack to resign. The series of events threatened to become a political nightmare for Republicans, who are desperately trying to gain seats in November in a Legislature where the party remains a super-minority. The potential for political exposure was especially true for Rauner, who had repeatedly tapped the vocal Sandack as a surrogate in public battles on and off the House floor. Sandack initially rejected the idea of an outright resignation, two Republican sources said. He felt strongly about his public career, and while he admitted he messed up he was also a victim of a crime. In a statement to POLITICO, Sandack adamantly disputed the idea that anyone else urged him to step down. “The information that Politico has is unequivocally false as No one suggested that I resign, much less pressured me to do so, it was solely my decision,” Sandack said in a statement relayed by an associate.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— JPMorgan May Face New Scrutiny in China Hiring Case – BEN PROTESS and ALEXANDRA STEVENSONS  (DIERSEN: How much clout do/did your parents have in getting you a job, getting you promoted, etc.?  My outstanding father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 45 and I was 21.  He had fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, never attended college, worked in the office of a chemical plant, and almost always worked second jobs (playing music, delivering eggs, fast food worker, etc.) to pay the family’s bills.  My outstanding mother never attended high school.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/business/dealbook/jp-morgan-may-face-new-scrutiny-in-china-hiring-case.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Fed and O.C.C. investigations stem from the bank’s efforts to hire the children of China’s ruling elite — and in some cases link those jobs or internships to securing business with Chinese government-run companies. But unlike the S.E.C. and federal prosecutors, the banking regulators are not focused on the bribery aspect of the case, but rather a breakdown in controls and practices that allowed the improper hiring to take place.)

CHEAT SHEET
— Legal Discrimination? 6 Surprising Reasons You Can Be Fired – Megan Elliott  (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government.  Political affiliation discrimination is rampant in the federal government.  Notwithstanding the fact that I am a non-veteran White male, if I had been a Democrat, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
http://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/legal-discrimination.html/?a=viewall
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Political activity and beliefs  You might want to think twice before you tell everyone at work what you really think of Donald Trump. “[M]ost employees in America working for private employers do not have any legal protection against discrimination on the basis of political affiliation or activity,” Workplace Fairness explained. In the majority of states (California and New York are the big exceptions), companies are free to hire and fire people because of their political activities. Employers are allowed to encourage employees to vote a certain way, may prohibit them from wearing or displaying political paraphernalia in the office, and can even fire you for blogging about political matters on your own time.)

ROBERT FEDER
— Tribune pulls Pioneer Press reporter off Evanston beat  (DIERSEN: What adverse actions have your employers taken against you?  Adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me include forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Adverse actions that my Democrat IRS superiors took against me include not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims  Adverse actions that my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me include forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests.)
http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/09/20/tronc-pulls-pioneer-press-reporter-off-evanston-beat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A veteran reporter for the Evanston Review is being shipped out to the west suburbs in retaliation for withholding his byline from a story, according to the Chicago News Guild. Bob Seidenberg, an award-winning writer who has covered the north suburb for nearly 30 years, was reassigned to Franklin Park and other west suburbs about a week after he removed his name from a story that he said had been rewritten inaccurately by an editor. The Evanston Review long has been the crown jewel of Pioneer Press, the suburban newspaper chain recently acquired by Tribune Publishing, the company now known as tronc. Pioneer reporters, who are represented by the Chicago News Guild, have a contractual right to withhold their names from their work. “Seidenberg’s pending removal is just the latest in a series of warnings, threats and accusations by [Pioneer editor John] Puterbaugh and other managers against Pioneer Press reporters on almost a weekly basis since Tribune (now tronc) took over the 32-newspaper chain last year,” a story posted on the union’s website reported Tuesday. According to the union, Seidenberg was told that he was being reassigned “for business reasons” despite arguing that “his experience, his resources and his understanding of Evanston would benefit the Tribune if he stayed in Evanston.” “We believe this was a retaliation for withholding his byline,” Craig Rosenbaum, executive director of the Chicago News Guild, was quoted as saying. “Bob is being punished for exercising a contractual right. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he asked for his byline to be held just before this. Removing Bob from Evanston will be a loss to Evanston. They’re depriving the community of a reporter with years of experience who has a wealth of sources and contacts.” Dana Meyer, a spokesperson for the Chicago Tribune, released a statement denying any retaliation. “The company respects the collective agreement with Pioneer Press and has worked within the terms and conditions of that agreement,” the statement said. “There have been incidents where a reporter has asked to have their name removed and we consistently accommodate those requests. The agreement specifically identifies rules for transferring an employee and we adhere to these rules. This was not retaliation. We simply had a need for a veteran Pioneer reporter on a strong digital beat that had gone vacant. Evanston is a vital town for us and will continue to be very well covered.”)

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
— Why Socialism Is Still Popular  Evolutionary psychology may explain it. – JON BASIL UTLEY (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes are consumed with envy.  I should write a book about them.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-socialism-is-still-popular/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I always used to think that socialism’s appeal mainly came from envy, which was innate to human character. There’s a classic book titled Envy, by Helmut Schoeck, that explains the extraordinary progress of Western civilization as coming from our religions, Christianity and Judaism before it. It notes that two of the Ten Commandments strongly condemned envy—that subordinating it was vital for a society to progress. But envy is still innate. Remember the old story of a poor Russian peasant, whose neighbor finally owns a cow. The peasant becomes consumed with envy and cries out to God for relief. When God answers him to make a wish come true, he prays, “God, make my neighbor’s cow sicken and die.” New knowledge of human nature delves much deeper, however.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— The First Fight Donald Trump Should Pick As President, According To Newt Gingrich  Gingrich encouraged the nominee to go after federal job protections and instigate “the absolute showdown.” – Dave Jamieson  (DIERSEN: Before they go any further on this issue, Gingrich and Trump should read every word in every document filed in Diersen v. GAO (
https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/)  The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1990s used Gingrich’s dramatic budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/president-trump-federal-employees_us_57e2dee9e4b08d73b82f2fd7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This week, The New Yorker published a report hypothesizing what President Donald Trump’s first term in office might look like. Evan Osnos interviewed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who’s been advising the candidate on policy matters, about what to expect if Trump actually takes the White House. Gingrich told Osnos that he’s encouraged Trump to start a war over job security for federal employees. Conservatives have long bemoaned how difficult it can be to fire government workers. According to The New Yorker, Gingrich seems convinced that attacking job protections for civil servants would be a worthwhile opening battle, both as policy and as politics. Per Osnos: Gingrich told me that he is urging Trump to give priority to an obscure but contentious conservative issue—ending lifetime tenure for federal employees. This would also galvanize Republicans and help mend rifts in the Party after a bitter election. “Getting permission to fire corrupt, incompetent, and dishonest workers—that’s the absolute showdown,” Gingrich said. He assumes that federal employees’ unions would resist, thus producing, in his words, an “ongoing war” similar to the conflict that engulfed Madison, Wisconsin, in 2011, when Governor Scott Walker moved to limit public-sector employees’ collective-bargaining rights. Gingrich predicted that federal employee unions would become “unglued” in such a war. For a reality TV celebrity whose fame grew out of firing people, this would seem like a logical fight to pick after settling into the West Wing. Trump, however, doesn’t appear to have discussed this particular issue on the trail, and his official website makes no reference to it. A campaign spokesperson didn’t respond to an email asking if Trump would seek to roll back job protections for federal employees. A representative for Gingrich didn’t respond to an interview request on the subject, either. Job security is one of the main benefits to a federal job, and Gingrich is correct that federal employee unions would fight bitterly to maintain it. But contrary to what Gingrich suggests, it is possible to fire federal employees when they misbehave or don’t do their jobs. It just isn’t as easy as firing a private-sector worker. The law gives federal workers certain protections, including due process when the boss wants to can them and the chance to turn around their work if they’re underperforming. They’re given those rights, in part, to protect against politically motivated firings. Typically, a fraction of a percent of the federal workforce gets fired each year. Tony Reardon, the president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 federal workers across 30 agencies, noted in an email to HuffPost that federal employees can be fired for cause. That they can’t, he said, “is a false statement repeated to gain easy political points.” NTEU endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, as did the American Federation of Government Employees, the other large federal employee union. “While it is not clear that Congressman Gingrich and Mr. Trump are trying to find a way to fire those they simply don’t like, it would behoove them to become educated on the basics of civil service law,” Reardon said. “Federal employees give much to this country and deserve at least candidates and advisors who understand a little bit about how their employment works.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Immigrants Aren’t Taking Americans’ Jobs.”  To what extent do/did you compete with recent immigrants for jobs?  If there were as many recent immigrants in northeast Illinois back when I was young as there are today, they may very well would have been hired instead of me to do yard work, deliver newspapers, wash dishes, clean golf shoes, chip slag, pump gasoline, deliver mail, work on an automobile assemble line, work as a security guard, sell tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collect delinquent taxes, and audit federal agencies.)

The party loyalists rejecting Trump should be rewarded, not penalized.”  After the November 8, 2016 election, who in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality will be blamed for Republican losses and who will be purged from the party?  Since 2000, those who dominate the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/wheaton-college-employee-charged-with-having-child-pornography/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Wheaton College is disturbed to learn of these troubling charges, and will continue to cooperate fully with the investigating authorities,” Wheaton College President Philip Ryken said in the statement. “As a Christian community, Wheaton College fundamentally opposes the production and use of pornography, especially child pornography, which by its very nature exploits and victimizes the most vulnerable. Mr. Felker is on unpaid leave and his access to campus has been revoked,” Ryken said. Judge Richard Russo ordered Felker held on a $250,000 bond in court Wednesday. “The charges against Mr. Felker are absolutely disgusting and will be met with the full force of the law,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in the statement. “I would like to clarify that these charges are in no way connected with Mr. Felker’s association with Wheaton College. Authorities at the college have been extremely cooperative and helpful and for that I thank them,” Berlin said.)

Smith  (DIERSEN: Are/were you accused of being overpaid?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 33.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/09/21/average-total-federal-employee-compensation-123160/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We Are Not Burger Flippers  One argument used in justifying higher federal employee compensation packages is Comments (218) left by a reader using the name “Common Sense”: “These ‘studies’ are so bogus. Question: how many burger flipper (sic) work for the government?” In other words, the federal government has better educated and more specialized employee skills than private sector companies. Among the 21 major industries in the U.S., the federal employees are among the highest paid. Employees in utilities, mining, and management of companies are ahead of the federal workforce. The other sectors are compensated less. The latest BEA data indicate federal compensation is higher, on average, than compensation in the information industry, finance and insurance, and professional and scientific industries. Also, Edwards writes: [T]he federal workforce has always had a heavy contingent of skilled professionals, such as lawyers.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-illinois-unauthorized-immigration-decline-met-20160920-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of unauthorized immigrants residing in Illinois dropped by 10 percent, or 50,000 people, between 2009 and 2014 — something experts say has been key to Chicago’s recent population loss. “So much of the population growth in this region was based on legal and undocumented immigration. This closes the plug on the growth we’ve had,” said Rob Paral, a Chicago-based demographer who advises nonprofits and community groups. “Undocumented immigrants were a substantial piece of the picture, and that era is behind us.” In 2014, about 450,000 unauthorized immigrants lived in Illinois, compared with about 500,000 in 2009, according to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. While most states saw no significant change in their unauthorized immigrant populations during the five-year period, Illinois is among seven states that saw their populations decline, primarily due to a drop in the number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. The population of unauthorized Mexican immigrants has declined nationwide as well because of the sluggish U.S. economic recovery and stricter border enforcement. But the country’s overall count of unauthorized immigrants remained stable through 2014 due to a spike in unauthorized immigrants from Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report, which bases its findings on data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.)

In my defense, not that I need to defend myself, unlike many if not most of my worthless critics/opponents, and unlike virtually all their worthless operatives and worthless dupes, I am financially secure.  I can afford to spend the thousands of dollars and thousands of hours each year necessary to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.  I do not want anyone to call my tunes.  I am fortunate enough that I do not have ask anyone for money.  As everyone including Rich Miller knows, GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160920/NEWS06/160929982
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Sun-Times Media suburban reporters who began working out of cars and coffee shops in 2012 after their offices closed now have a chance to improve their lot at Tronc. They became part of Tronc in 2014 after its predecessor, Tribune Publishing, bought the suburban dailies and weeklies from the Sun-Times’ parent, Wrapports. Now, negotiations on a new contract for the 30 editorial employees represented by the Chicago News Guild are scheduled to start next week. It will be the first contract negotiated for the workers since they shifted from Chicago’s no. 2 newspaper operation to the city’s biggest. Tension is already building in advance of the expiration of the current contract at the end of the year. The union today posted a lengthy report of one Evanston Review reporter’s travails with management, and an unfair labor practice charge that was filed by the union last month with the National Labor Relations Board on his behalf. The union alleges the reporter was transferred from one suburban paper to another as retaliation for his complaining about a news story and exercising his contractual right to withhold his byline from the piece. “Within days of him asking to withhold his byline, he was transferred,” says Craig Rosenbaum, who is executive director of the union. Tronc spokeswoman Dana Meyer said it was not retaliation. “The company respects the collective agreement with Pioneer Press and has worked within the terms and conditions of that agreement,” she said in a statement. “There have been incidents where a reporter has asked to have their name removed and we consistently accommodate those requests. The agreement specifically identifies rules for transferring an employee and we adhere to these rules.”)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— So, how do you like video gambling now? – Anita Bedell, Executive Director, Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems
http://www.rrstar.com/opinion/20160918/my-view-so-how-do-you-like-gambling-slots-now
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Video gambling has spread rapidly in just four years, with nearly 24,000 gambling machines now operating in more than 5,500 establishments. Rockford-area residents are losing more than $2 million a month in video gambling machines. Winnebago County ranks third in the state for the number of video gambling machines with 1,050 — more machines than five of Illinois’ casinos. The amount of money lost in the machines is staggering. Rockford ranks second in the state with losses of $77.5 million, and Loves Park is fourth with losses of $41 million. The total amount lost in video gambling machines in all of Winnebago County is almost $175 million. While municipalities get a nickel of every dollar lost in gambling machines, up to 60 percent of the money leaves the community. While legislators said they wanted to legalize the gambling machines that were already operating in many bars, clubs and restaurants, local officials issued many new liquor licenses, which qualified for video gambling. Video gambling parlors have expanded quickly throughout the state, and these neighborhood casinos have some of the largest monthly gambling losses. Located in strip malls near residential areas and grocery stores, these video gambling parlors are named after and target women. Coffee, soft drinks and snacks are free at some parlors, and coupons for free play abound. Video gambling machines are operating in bowling alleys, golf courses, laundromats, grocery stores, gas station convenience stores, wine and package liquor stores, a tobacco store, television repair shop, flower shop, pool supply shop, indoor amusement park and family fun center. A study of frequent video gambling players showed that the risk of frequent players reporting symptoms of problem and pathological gambling was elevated if they gambled weekly, spent $50 or more per session or played for more than an hour per session. The study, published in the Journal of Gambling Studies, found that video gambling was the most harmful form of gambling in Canada. People will gamble at casinos closest to home. Local residents who are “regulars” can gamble several times a day at one or more neighborhood casinos. When people gamble away all of their money, they borrow, steal and embezzle to keep gambling. It takes time for the problems of gambling to develop and come to light — addiction, lost work time, bankruptcy, child neglect, domestic violence, crime, embezzlement and suicide. One dad left his 3-year old son in the car while he gambled in a bar near a busy intersection at 11 p.m. He allegedly went inside to order food and played video gambling while he waited. A Tazewell County grand jury indicted a former employee of a residential facility accused of taking money from a disabled person to gamble. She also took two residents to a video gambling parlor. Burglaries of video gambling machines and ATM machines have occurred throughout the state, and video gambling establishments have been cited for underage alcohol sales. These are just a few of the crimes that have been documented during the past four years. Three casino companies have bought all or part ownership in video gambling companies that supply machines to local establishments. Why? Video gambling has fewer regulations, less oversight, lower taxes and operating costs and is an easier way to expand. Rockford Urban Ministries has invited me to speak at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Rockford at 7 p.m. Thursday. Come and learn more.)

— Clinton condemns ‘apparent terrorist attacks’
http://www.starcourier.com/news/20160918/latest-clinton-condemns-apparent-terrorist-attacks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate has split with her over Clinton’s description of some Donald Trump supporters as “irredeemable.”  Tim Kaine said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that irredeemable “is not a word I would use.” But he suggested that it’s not likely the Democrats would be able to change the minds of hardcore Trump supporters on such issues as where President Barack Obama was born. Kaine says Clinton was right to call out “dark emotions.” Clinton earlier this month said she considers “half” of Trump’s supporters to be “deplorables” who are “irredeemable.” She later apologized for saying “half” and acknowledged that many of his supporters are hardworking, but disillusioned.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160918/NEWS02/160919857/what-keeps-illinois-democrats-awake-at-night
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republicans have been saying behind the scenes that they have put four Democratic state Senators “on the bubble”—Tom Cullerton in DuPage County, Melinda Bush in Lake County, Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant in Will County and Gary Forby in deep southern Illinois. Understandably, Senate President John Cullerton does not agree. “If it wasn’t for Donald Trump maybe four would be on the bubble,” Cullerton told me the other day. Cullerton claimed that the one-two punch of Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner was hurting Republicans in contested districts everywhere. “Downstate, Trump’s popular,” he admitted, “But Rauner’s not.” In Sen. Forby’s heavily targeted district, Cullerton said, “Rauner’s hated down there.”)

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.)

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.)

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.)
