April 22 Morning Edition

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— HRO upheaval and a GOP feud – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Disgustingly, outrageously, tragically, and ever-increasingly, Illinois Republicans first learn from Democrat news sources like Capitol Fax and Politico Illinois what Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders are saying and doing. Far too often, it looks like IRP leaders are taking direction from Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout to keep Illinois Republicans including Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails “out of the loop.”) 
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/22/hro-upheaval-and-a-gop-feud-newman-hits-a-roadblock-meister-wants-a-rematch-427112
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After losing six House seats in the 2018 general election, the House Republican Organization is reorganizing its leadership team and ramping up fundraising. Political Director Joe Woodward, a confidante and friend to House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, is out, according to a memo Durkin and new HRO Chair Tony McCombie sent Saturday to caucus members and obtained by POLITICO. Woodward is moving to the private sector, and HRO has hired Jayme Odom with the new title: executive director. “We’re bringing in additional fundraisers and plan to be more aggressive with members on their own fundraising with the organization,” Durkin told POLITICO. The changes come after re-evaluating the 2018 losses. “When you have a multi-billionaire writing checks, it’s difficult,” Durkin said, referring, of course, to Gov. J.B. Pritzker‘s backing of so many Dem candidates. “We have to be more self-sufficient.” GOP Rep. Mark Batinick (97th) says the GOP caucus has done “much introspection” on its campaign strategy leading up to 2020. “Only through a thorough self-examination can we fully improve. Not only is it OK to question everything, it’s what any organization should do from time to time,” he told POLITICO. Republican campaign coffers remain a fraction of their Democratic counterparts. The HRO, which has a fundraiser planned April 29, has $38,000 cash on hand, compared to the Democratic Majority’s $3.4 million. Durkin, meanwhile, has $900,000 on hand while House Speaker Mike Madigan sits on $7.4 million. Odom, HRO’s new executive director, meanwhile, is a familiar player in Illinois politics. She previously was chief of staff for the Illinois Lottery during Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration. During that time, a state investigation found Odom failed to disclose her connection to lobbyists for a company vying for a lucrative lottery contract. Odom then left for Ohio, where she helped manage Jim Renacci’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign last year. Odom also worked as executive director for the Illinois Republican Party from 2013-2015. GOP drama part 2: Some GOP lawmakers are criticizing that political operative David Walsh was paid for consulting for Citizens for Durkin and for Majority Strategies — a national firm that also does political mailings for the HRO. The payments to Walsh by Majority Strategies were not publicly disclosed, according to a WCIA report last week. Durkin says Walsh was paid out of his campaign fund — not by HRO — and that Walsh’s work with Majority Strategies “is independent” of any work with HRO. One downstate Republican, per an interview with POLITICO, is hoping for an investigation to clear up the murkiness. And state Rep. Dave McSweeney, also in an interview, accused Durkin of paying “his buddy” Walsh instead of putting money toward House races. He even called on Durkin to step down. GOP drama part 3: Yep, there’s a feud between McSweeney and Durkin that goes beyond campaign cash. Last week, the House GOP leader pulled McSweeney’s communications aide after McSweeney spoke out against Rep. Steve Reick for a racially tinged comment about a bill requiring company boards to diversify. Reick later apologized. McSweeney paid to promote a tweet condemning Reick’s comment. In a statement to POLITICO, Durkin said: “This is an internal caucus matter. I will continue working to move the Republican Party and House Republican caucus forward in Illinois but will not tolerate public attacks on fellow members.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Case Against Early Retirement Many people dream of leaving the office as soon as they can. But the evidence suggests a lot of downsides. It may be time to rethink those dreams. – Richard W. Johnson (DIERSEN: I should write a book about early retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-early-retirement-11555899000
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people look forward to retirement, a reward for decades of hard work. But like many other pleasures, it may be bad for your health. It may even kill you. How can that be? How can working longer be good for your health? After all, many people dream of—and plan for—retiring early. Strenuous, stressful work can wear people down and damage their health. On the other hand, retirees can relax and reinvigorate themselves. They have time to follow their passions and pursue activities that enrich their lives. But in our rush to leave the office, we don’t realize that retirement also has a downside, especially over the long term. Many retirees indulge in unhealthy behaviors. They become sedentary and watch too much television. They eat too much. They drink too much. They smoke too much. Without the purpose of fulfilling work, retirees can feel adrift and become depressed. Without the camaraderie of their co-workers, retirees risk becoming socially isolated. Without the intellectual stimulation that work can provide, retirement can accelerate cognitive decline.)

I am trying to get the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee to defend and advance all the planks in the IRP and Republican Party platforms, including their tradition family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.

USA TODAY
— Millennials still lean on parents for money – Janna Herron (DIERSEN: When did you stop leaning your parents for money? Because my outstanding parents never had much money, I never expected them to, and they did not, give me any money for cars, tuition, books, or room and board at NIU. They did provide me with room and board while attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I paid for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE, tuition, books, and room and board at NIU with money that I earned working for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My father died suddenly in October of 1969 and my mother had never worked outside of our home in Crete. After I graduated from NIU in August of 1970, I helped support my mother and brother until September of 1972 with money that I earned working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights and for IRS in Chicago and Harvey.)

DAILY HERALD
— New CEO slated for tollway Jose R. Alvarez comes from Chicago Housing Authority – Marni Pyke (DIERSEN: What does Alvarez know about tollways? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I brought with me almost 9 years of IRS Collection Division experience, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors wasted that experience a) by never assigning me to audits of IRS’s Collection Division and b) by assigning me to audits of IRS for only 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. During those almost 18 years, none of those who were assigned to audits had worked for IRS. Overwhelmingly, those assigned to audits of IRS were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Many, if not most of them did not want the assignments.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview: On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN: Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from 11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22 trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over 100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)

To support their argument, they stress that I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (70), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 21 years, American nameplate vehicle owner, childless, pet-less, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc. They stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, MTRCC webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, etc. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000.)

— Internet age really DOES mean we get bored more easily and have shorter attention spans, study finds. Our need to keep up to date is beginning to overwhelm our brains, experts say.

The findings don’t necessarily mean our individual attention spans are shorter. – TIM COLLINS (DIERSEN: One of the many reasons why people read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is that virtually all the articles that are linked in the emails are less than 12 hours old.)

https://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/pritzker-tells-journalists-we-need-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During his address, the governor also doubled down on his commitment to protect undocumented immigrants in Illinois. On Friday, President Trump said his administration is “strongly looking at” releasing thousands of detained migrants into so-called sanctuary cities. But Pritzker’s calling his bluff. “The president is a xenophobe and a racist…So when he makes threats like this, they’re upon that history,” Pritzker said. “The fact is we’re not going to ship 11 or 12 million people out of the country, no matter what Donald Trump says. I’m not going to let that happen in Illinois. It’s not going to happen in the United States.” He said Illinois will remain open to immigrants, despite threats from the White House.)

https://www.northernpublicradio.org/post/pritzker-tells-journalists-we-need-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor J.B. Pritzker held his largest press conference over the weekend – and he’s promising media transparency under his administration. Speaking before more than a hundred journalists at the Illinois News Broadcasters Association’s annual spring conference in Normal, Pritzker said he’s committed to helping Illinois media tell the stories that matter. Pritzker said mutual respect between journalists and elected officials is critical in the era of “fake news.” “If we want our democracy to thrive, we must have a first amendment that thrives,” Pritzker said. “Those with political power must be extremely careful that when we disagree with what’s being said, we nevertheless fight for your right to get the information out.” Illinois Public Media reporters questioned Pritzker about the lack of cooperation from some state departments, namely the Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Human Services. Pritzker said he’s still hiring new staff after the Rauner administration – and that he’ll step in when government officials are unresponsive.)ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
