ABC7
— WHEATON WOMAN NAMED CAREGIVER OF THE YEAR  (DIERSEN: I want to again thank Jim Flickinger for convincing Randy Hultgren and Peter Roskam to endorse me when I first ran for DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman in 2000.)
http://abc7chicago.com/health/wheaton-woman-named-caregiver-of-the-year/1486823/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton woman is chosen among thousands as Brightstar Care’s Caregiver of the Year in the Midwest region. Elsa Salguero was surprised today by the home care agency and the family she works with. The family who nominated her says Salguero’s devotion to her patients is unequaled. “My ultimate goal every time I encounter my patients and clients is to always leave them better than what they are when you first encounter them. Walk out of the room knowing that you’ve done everything that you possibly could to leave them feeling loved and important,” she said.  Salguero was awarded a trophy, a cake and a sash.)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: University of Chicago Dean’s letter prompts backlash – Angie Leventis Lourgos  (DIERSEN: One would expect that the backlash would come from those who are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-abdul-jabbar-napervile-st-0828-20160826-story.html
— Naperville Sun Q&A: Abdul-Jabbar urges Americans to approach issues using facts, not emotions – David Sharos  (DIERSEN: What demographic facts about you would Abdul-Jabbar use to form his opinion of you?  From what I see, Abdul-Jabbar would use the following demographic facts about me to form an extremely negative opinion about me: baptized in 1948, raised, and confirmed in 1962 as a Missouri Synod Lutheran; conservative; Republican; American; White; male; old (67); non-poor; gun owner; Wheaton resident since 1978; Crete resident 1948-1972; 100% German national origin; and ancestors have been in America since the 1840s.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-abdul-jabbar-q-and-a-st-0828-20160826-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q: Why do you think race has become such a source of conflict in this country that hasn’t been seen since Martin Luther King and the 1960s? A: It has ramped up, and it has to do with people noticing change — the complexion of America is getting a little bit more brown. It’s not like white people are getting outproduced or soon be a minority, but there’s a lot more people of color, and a lot of these people are in positions of power and influence, and it doesn’t look like it did in the ’40s and ’50s. The greater number of people of color is adding to the racial tension. Q: You’ve had a chance to talk with Donald Trump. What’s your take on him? A: I met him, which he doesn’t even acknowledge. I met him twice. My take on him is that he’s trying to exploit fear for votes. I think that’s reprehensible on his part.)

 

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Lisle teachers raises likely to be OK’d – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you are/were overpaid?  To discredit me, to promote envy against me, and to promote hatred against me, virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout a) that the Post Office overpaid me 1966-1969, b) that IRS overpaid me 1971-1980, c) that GAO overpaid me 1980-1997, d) that my Civil Service Retirement System pension since 1997 has been too generous, d) and that my federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies and other federal benefits have always been too generous. It would be great if my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) would get together and put their charges against me in writing, b) give me sufficient time to prepare my rebuttal, and c) agree to publicly debate me in the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall or in one of their larger “safe place” type venues.  Should I ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes to put in writing a) their top ten reasons why they are/were not a federal employee or federal retiree, b) the sources and amounts of all their income for the last ten years, c) their assets, liabilities, and net worth, and d) the top ten reasons why they do not have more income and a higher net worth than they have now?)

PEORIA PUBLIC RADIO
— BEYOND DISGUSTING, BEYOND TRAGIC: Video (GAMBLING) Reaches New Heights In Illinois – JENNA DOOLEY
http://peoriapublicradio.org/post/video-gaming-reaches-new-heights-illinois#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell is with the Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems. “There has been embezzlement. There’s been bankruptcy, divorce, and crime – all of the results of video gambling,” Bedell says, “and that will just continue to grow.” Notice that she calls it video gambling instead of video gaming. The distinction is important because her group also monitors the state gaming numbers, but she focuses her attention on how much money players have lost. Bedell’s group tallies the top ten communities by dollars lost by players. Since 2012, they include Springfield, Rockford, Decatur, Bloomington, Champaign, and Peoria. Bedell says her group will continue to educate communities which want to add or expand video gaming.)

— U.S. Senate Candidates Court Farmers – Greg Bishop  (DIERSEN: What are your demographics?  Do candidates court voters who share your demographics?  To give preference to one demographic is to discriminate against another demographic.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: People might be shocked at how high drug prices have gotten. But equally lucrative are the compensation packages hauled in by drug company CEOs. CEOs of the 14 biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that served all of 2015 pulled down median compensation packages valued at $18.5 million in 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That was 71% greater than the median $10.8 million hauled in by S&P 500 executives in all industries in 2015, according to an analysis by Equilar. “We all know drug prices are high,” says Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of compensation analysis firm The Value Alliance. “Companies award (the CEOs) very generous packages.” Health care CEOs received the highest median pay packages of any of the 10 sectors, according to the Equilar analysis.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shift from pensions to 401(k) plans is making retirement inequality much worse-and education is what separates the haves from the have-nots, a new study has found. College graduates have always been able to get better jobs. What’s new in recent decades is that traditional pensions have all but vanished, replaced by 401(k)-style plans. In 1980, 38 percent of private sector workers had a pension and 19 percent a 401(k). By last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the numbers had more or less reversed-just 15 percent had a pension and 43 percent a 401(k). That shift is creating “double disadvantages for the less educated,” wrote University of Kansas sociology professor ChangHwan Kim and Social Security Administration researcher Christopher Tamborini in a paper presented at the American Sociological Association’s annual conference on Tuesday.)

— Whose mistake?  Did GOP state Rep. Michael McAuliffe lie about being a veteran in newspaper op-eds, as his Democratic opponent suggests? The issue’s a little more complicated than that, I learned when I began looking into it this week. McAuliffe, whose district includes portions of Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Rosemont and Park Ridge, wrote a letter to several newspapers last fall ­– including the Daily Herald — using the term “my fellow veterans” although he never served in the armed forces. House Republican strategist Joe Woodward said the error was a staffer’s and offered a revised letter to newspapers in short order. But Woodward says the Daily Herald was the only paper to print the revision. The issue is being highlighted now by Democrat Merry Martwig in a race considered to be one of the most competitive in the suburbs. – Kerry Lester  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents stress not only that I am not a veteran, they stress that I sought and obtained student and financial hardship draft deferments 1966-1971.)

— More praise for Naperville’s top teen volunteer  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. What volunteer work did you do while you were a teen? I did not do any. I focused on earning money to pay for college expenses and for new cars.  If you seek a government office or a political office, the less volunteer work that you did while you were at teen, the more that your critics/opponents will viciously demonize you, viciously denigrate you, and viciously condemn you as being selfish and even worse things.)

WILL COUNTY GAZETTE & DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Who’s political now? An unvarnished look at the Southern Illinoisan editorial board
http://willcountygazette.com/stories/511000491-who-s-political-now-an-unvarnished-look-at-the-southern-illinoisan-editorial-board
http://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511000482-who-s-political-now-an-unvarnished-look-at-the-southern-illinoisan-editorial-board
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Southern Illinoisan recently devoted space in its newspaper to an attack on this paper. The piece, penned collectively by the newspaper’s editorial board, entitled “Voice of The Southern: Know what you’re reading” took issue with the Southwest Illinois News’ editorial bent. We are not shy about our position in favoring free-market principles and less government spending. We’ve said this time and again, and we’ll say it again here. But the description of this newspaper by The Southern Illinoisan was beyond disdain. “Does it look like a newspaper? For the most part, yeah. It’s got a masthead, some stories on the front page, an index, a community calendar, an editorial – why, it even has a sports page,” the Southern Illinoisan wrote in its editorial before going on to criticize us for covering local challengers over entrenched local politicians. Why have we focused on these candidates? Simple. The Southern Illinoisan and many other daily newspapers like it rarely mention the local challengers. Unlike the editorial board of the Southern Illinoisan, we live in a reality where people and organizations are allowed to openly have opinions about the state of government; and as the residents of Illinois know, the state is in peril. What readers may not know, however, is that the editorial board of the Southern Illinoisan is populated by “journalists” aligned with the Democratic Party and leftist ideals.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corvettes at Carlisle is Carlisle Events’ largest car show of the year, but registration information shows that this year will be the biggest to date. Because Corvette owners showing their cars throughout the weekend must register them with Carlisle Events ahead of time, Mike Garland, the company’s media specialist, said they’ve seen cars registered from 48 out of the nation’s 50 states. On top of that, Glenn White, executive director of the Downtown Carlisle Association, which produces the Chip Miller Memorial Corvette Parade to be held Saturday at 7 p.m. in downtown Carlisle, said the parade usually features a cap of 400 cars in the event, but this year, close to 500 Corvettes have entered due to some extra space in the event. “We’ll probably have 500 Corvettes in this parade, which will make it our largest ever,” White said. “It’s a great way to pull in thousands of people from those fairgrounds to the stores and the restaurants in the borough’s downtown.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings – JASON HOROWITZ  (DIERSEN: From what county(s) did your ancestors immigrate from and when?  All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s.  Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me.  What if I had successfully pretended to be of Swedish national origin?)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small Bavarian town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?” In the book, published in 1987, he wrote that his father’s story was “classic Horatio Alger,” and that his grandfather “came here from Sweden as a child.” Mr. Trump has been called to account for the discrepancy in the past, sometimes admitting it, sometimes not. In an interview in his Trump Tower office, he at first claimed not to know that his father pretended to be Swedish, saying: “Is that true? I don’t know.” He later acknowledged that the two of them would occasionally discuss the concealment of their heritage, explaining that his father “didn’t want to put any pressure” on his Jewish friends. “It was a very tough time,” he said. “We have a war, we are fighting a war with Germany,” said Mr. Trump, who was born a year after World War II ended.)

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/08/18/mike-pence-releases-financial-disclosure-report/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday night released a financial disclosure form that appears to show a negative net worth outside of a state pension—the starkest possible contrast from the top of the GOP ticket. While presidential nominee Donald Trump has boasted at length on the size of his financial disclosure statement and his personal net worth, Mr. Pence’s federally mandated disclosure shows the picture of financial simplicity. He reports no significant savings accounts, mutual funds or 401(k) accounts from before he entered elected office. Mr. Pence, who is 57 years old, earned a six-figure congressional salary from 2001 to 2013. Before being elected to the House, Mr. Pence was a talk-radio host in Indiana. His disclosure states he is paid $173,860 as Indiana’s governor. “Our family has been honored to serve our state and nation,” Mr. Pence said in a statement released by the Trump campaign. “Like many American families, we have been fortunate and blessed to raise three wonderful children and put them through college while doing work that we love.” The Trump campaign said Mr. Pence “will release his tax returns in the near future.” Mr. Trump has said he will not release his tax returns because he says he is under an audit from the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, said on CNN on Wednesday that he will not allow Mr. Trump to make his tax returns public until the audit is completed. On the form, Mr. Pence listed as assets a defined-benefit Indiana pension worth up to $1 million and up to $30,000 in other state retirement accounts. He has at most $45,000 in cash and college savings accounts and at least $95,000 in student loans taken out for his three children. He doesn’t list any holdings in stocks, mutual funds or rental property. Those totals don’t include the value of any real estate that he doesn’t rent out. And it doesn’t include any federal pension or defined-contribution retirement plan he has from his time in the U.S. House of Representatives. Those assets aren’t required to be listed on the form, which is designed to reveal conflicts of interest, not net worth.)

If/when the anti-Trumps come to destroy you, what will you do?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-donald-trump-illinois-donor-humiliated-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A veteran Republican campaign donor who’s pushing for immigration reform says he hopes “Trump and his supporters are humiliated” on Election Day. William Kunkler, a private equity executive who backed Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s unsuccessful bid for the Republican presidential nomination, said he wasn’t voting for the GOP nominee and expected Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would become president and move quickly to push immigration changes. “Republicans will be licking their wounds after the effects of Trump leading the ticket and should be willing to deal with (Clinton) on sensible reform,” Kunkler, co-chair of the Illinois Business Immigration Council, said at a panel hosted by the group and FWD.us, the immigration advocacy organization founded by Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg. Kunkler — who backed and helped bundle campaign cash for previous GOP nominees including Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — was one of the few speakers to openly mention Trump by name to an audience at the tech incubator TechNexus in the Lyric Opera building. From the launch of his campaign in June of last year, Trump has vowed to build a wall on the Mexican border, called some immigrants from Mexico “criminals” and “rapists,” proposed to ban Muslims from immigrating and later expanded his plan to include immigrants from counties engaged in supporting terrorism. Calling Trump’s rhetoric “ugly and hateful,” Kunkler noted “the number of Latinos registered to vote has increased substantially (from 2012), and the turnout of this group is expected to be much higher to fight back against Trump. I support that fight and hope Trump and his supporters are humiliated at the polls.” John Rowe, former chairman of Exelon Corp. and another co-chair of the business council, said he found this election season “especially challenging for those of us who generally vote Republican.” Along with belief in “moderate taxes (and) individual responsibility,” Rowe said like-minded Republicans “also believe in people.” “We have an opportunity as a country to continue to make this melting pot work. It’s a challenge. We have no alternative but to make it work,” he said. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, who represents the Miami area, appeared on a panel with Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, North Shore Rep. Robert Dold and state Senate GOP leader Christine Radogno. The Florida congressman said he was optimistic a comprehensive reform plan that addressed border security and people in this country illegally could be accomplished. Kirk and Dold have said they do not support Trump, while Diaz-Balart has said he will vote for the GOP nominee. “Eventually the (critical) noise has to settle, the window of opportunity will open — it doesn’t have to open much — and it requires the extremes to kind of just shut the hell up,” Diaz-Balart said. “I’m convinced that noise, which is a lot of noise, is a small part of our country.” Radogno said the “red meat” being fed low-information voters about immigrants and immigration needs to be replaced with education. “I think that one of the worst things that we can do, and we see that going on right now and we see it in both parties, is making immigration a political issue, and what we do is feed people’s lack of information, the misinformation that they have. I think if people are educated, they understand … that immigration makes sense from an economic perspective, from a business perspective.”)

— SNEED: Malia’s timing? Hmmm. The web was burning up with a RadarOnline report Wednesday first daughter Malia Obama, 18, was snapped smoking what looked like pot while twerking away at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Sunday, July 31. But hang on. Here’s a timeline: Longtime pal/attorney Brendan O’Connor left Sneed a phone message that Sunday to report he had just spotted Malia and her girlfriends at Lollapalooza at 4 p.m.; observed them for about 45 minutes; noted the retinue of Secret Service agents; and was stunned by Malia’s impressive composure. “Let me tell you, the Obamas would be very proud of the classy way Malia was handling herself,” O’Connor’s phone message stated. “I did not engage with them, but I was only 20 feet away,” O’Connor told Sneed on Wednesday, shortly after the alleged pot story broke. “Malia was sitting on the lawn with six girlfriends like normal kids, no VIP treatment. No guys in tow. All very respectful, and all behaving better than the average idiots attending the concerts. The Secret Service had a perimeter around her. And no one appeared to be drinking or smoking. They had walked around to see the group Years & Years and the singer Halsey.” Less than an hour later, RadarOnline claimed, Malia was tagged by a witness inhaling what smelled like pot passed to her by some guy while watching the Bryson Tiller concert. “I’d be very surprised,” said O’Connor. “The Secret Service may have been wearing casual shirts and summer shorts, but they were out in full force.” Well, hey.

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Donald Trump Says He’s OK With Losing the Election – Alexandra Mondalek  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, if/when Trump loses, anti-Trumps will first destroy Trump’s supporters and then they will destroy those who do not hate Trump.)
http://time.com/money/4448134/donald-trump-ok-losing-election/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday while calling in to CNBC’s “Squawk Box” morning show, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he’s “ok” with losing the election. “All I do is tell the truth, and if at the end of 90 days I’ve fallen short because I’m somewhat politically correct, even though I’m supposed to be the smart one, and even though I’m supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it’s ok, you know, I go back to a, a very good way of life. It’s not what I’m looking to do I think we’re going to have a victory, but we’ll see.” The most recent Real Clear Politics poll shows Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump by almost eight points, echoing Trump’s implication: He may very well lose. Of course, the poll numbers follow a series of gaffes the GOP nominee has made in the last few weeks, including making off-kilter comments on sexual harassment and insulting a Gold Star military family. Consistent with his past behavior, Trump hasn’t apologized for the political missteps, either. So, what would Trump do after the election? He could go back to managing his real estate business, though he’s not hurting for work (even though Trump-branded businesses have suffered.) He’s currently worth about $4.5 billion — or $10 billion, according to him.)
— Anita Hill Says Women Still Face an Uphill Battle Fighting Sexual Harassment at Work – Martha C. White  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, a) if you are male, the older that you are, the more that you are presumed to be a sexist and b) if you are White, the older that you are, the more that you are presumed to be a racist.)

— Student loan lunacy  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the courses that I took to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, and two professional certifications a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) were a distraction.  They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a females, or a veteran.)
http://www.gopusa.com/student-loan-lunacy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College students whose majors don’t turn out as they envision will be able to walk away from their loan debt simply by claiming their schools bamboozled them, as allowed under a new rule. Proposed by the Department of Education, published in June in the Federal Register and scheduled for approval on Nov. 1, the rule will allow students to “discharge” their federal student loan obligation if they can show — and rather broadly — that they were hoodwinked by a university’s “misrepresentation.” This easy out would leave taxpayers and colleges on the hook for between $2 billion and $43 billion over the next 10 years, according to a federal estimate. And what could be easier than for the lame-duck administration, in its 11th-hour regulatory push, to ship off this sour tart and simply walk away? For starters, the rule is entirely unnecessary. An existing provision allows students to sue for loan forgiveness in cases of intentional fraud or in other violations of law. What’s proposed is preposterously unspecific, leaving schools with little recourse. It’s akin to allowing mortgage holders to dump their loans because they picked the wrong neighborhood in which to reside. In the end, this latest get-out-of-debt free nonsense helps no one. It simply abrogates personal responsibility. And unfortunately for young people sucked into these liberal escapades, life is not so forgiving.)

POLITICO
— Sandack’s bombshell resignation – Natasha Korecki
http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2016/07/sandacks-bombshell-resignation-kirk-clinton-up-in-illinois-poll-gutierrez-among-tonights-dnc-speakers-215498
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The abrupt resignation of state Rep. Ron Sandack — an outspoken member of the legislature who was Gov. Bruce Rauner’s reliable attack dog on the House floor — was stirring all kinds of talk late Sunday. As Republican floor leader, Sandack was the governor’s point person in the House, arguing strenuously for the governor’s office (and generally against Democratic Speaker Mike Madigan) on individual bills. Sandack resigned on Sunday following what he described as a series of cyberattacks on his Twitter and Facebook accounts, which involved the creation of new accounts under the guise of his own persona.  “I have always recognized there is no greater privilege than being a father and husband. My duties in Springfield [have] meant missing a lot of events in the lives of my children. I am no longer willing to miss important family events.” Story and Sandack’s full statement here: http://www.politico.com/states/illinois/story/2016/07/top-house-republican-abruptly-resigns-citing-cybersecurity-104157  In a text to Politico Illinois last night, Sandack said his resignation was effective Monday and that the cybersecurity issues gave him pause over his legislative life: “my family welfare is paramount.” He did not respond when asked whether that meant he feared for his family’s safety. Sandack would not talk by phone. SO … why are so many people having trouble believing him? Here’s a few reasons we want to hear more (anything?) from Republican leaders today: 1. Something seems off with the equation. (High-profile statehouse Republican) + (close to most powerful Republicans in state) + (social media accounts hacked into) = immediately resigns? 2. Crickets. The governor, Illinois House Republicans, others in leadership, said a big nada on Sunday at the news of the loss of a top lieutenant. No statements released by leaders. No response from a governor’s spokeswoman when asked for reaction late Sunday. No answer from several Republican party and legislative leaders (with the exception of House Republican forwarding a copy of Sandack’s statement.) That won’t hold today though. 3. Timing. Sandack took down his own social media accounts last week, which prompted all kinds of speculation. He said on Sunday the cyber hacking/harassment started around July 4. He resigned days after taking down his accounts. Days earlier, the Illinois House Victory Fund had spent $10,300 in printing costs for his campaign. http://www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisclosure/ItemizedExpend.aspx?FiledDocID=615133&ExpenditureType=Expenditures&Archived=True&OrderBy=LastorOnlyName-AtoZ&ItemizedExpendFrom=D2Quarterly.aspx  4. Sandack has long been an outspoken, incredibly accessible guy — except on the day he resigned. Instead, his announcement was carefully crafted. It was first made available in a relatively safe venue — the Capitol Fax newsletter. The writeup (which is password protected or we’d include a link) describes Sandack working to take down two fake accounts on Twitter and 10 on Facebook, which purported to behave as Sandack accounts. In the midst of this, Sandack says he experiences a moment of clarity, realizing he doesn’t want to miss any more of his kids’ events. What was missing from the CapFax piece was any description as to what actually happened on these fake accounts. Had they actually posted content pretending to be Sandack? Were they threatening? Embarrassing? The piece said Sandack filed a police report. Beside Sandack, the other person quoted in the CapFax writeup was a recent Rauner appointee, John Bambenek, who talked about how unusual and dangerous it was to have such an open attack against a public official. He also talked about the difficulty of prosecuting computer crimes. (Incidentally, on Sunday, Bambanek on Twitter said this about a higher-profile cyber incident: https://twitter.com/bambenek/status/757321987618328576) Sandack appeared on the Daily Show on a segment about Illinois’ pitiful budget woes. Watch: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/7dahxe/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-jordan-klepper-s-happy-endings—illinois-s-budget-impasse Sandack leaves with nearly $130,000 in his campaign account, according to the most recent election filing. He was up for reelection in November. Last night, state Rep. Tom Demmer said of Sandack on Twitter: “An excellent legislator and a great guy. We’ll miss him in the House.” Gov. Rauner is in Chicago today, and will no doubt be asked to weigh in on this one.)

http://capitolfax.com/2016/07/25/the-communications-platform-stirs-controversy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Residents received the Illinois Valley Times in their mailboxes this week. Despite its local name, the new publication has no presence here. Its parent organization, which is largely funded by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, is based in Chicago. One of its writers lives in New York. The newspaper includes no mailing address or phone number and gives readers no information about who runs it, though it provides an email address and Twitter account. . .As the story goes on to report, this is one of Dan Proft’s newspapers published by Liberty Principles PAC. And then there’s this story… The Illinois Press Association isn’t sure it really is a newspaper — they think it might be a political advertisement and are interested in finding out who’s behind it. Don Craven, general counsel for the Illinois Press Association, said throughout the campaign season he was alerted to a series of publications crafted to look like newspapers. These would seem to have all come from the same source: The website for the Illinois Valley Times includes links to 13 sister publications such as “Rock Island Today” and the “Sangamon Sun.”)

ABC7
— NOTABLE ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS TO SKIP CONVENTION; SECURITY BEEFED UP  (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps glorify and praise anti-Trumps.  Anti-Trumps are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/notable-illinois-republicans-to-skip-convention;-security-beefed-up/1430839/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many notable Illinois Republicans are skipping this year’s GOP convention this week, including Gov. Bruce Rauner who has treated Trump comments as toxic and opted to steer clear.  In addition to Rauner, other missing GOPs will be former Gov. Jim Edgar, U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, Comptroller Leslie Munger and North Shore Congressman Bob Dold. Kirk is even running an ad trumpeting his anti-Trumpness, which states “Mark Kirk bucked his party to say Donald Trump is not fit to be commander in chief.” Northwest suburban Rep. Peter Roskam may be the highest profile Illinois Republican who is attending the convention. Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider will chair the state’s delegation, while other’s such as Congressman Adam Kinzinger and former gubernatorial candidate Kirk Dillard have said they’ll be in Cleveland for some meetings, but may not even set foot on the convention floor. “Very few elected officials or prominent Republicans are attending the convention, with good reason: Donald Trump,” said Pat Brady, former Illinois GOP party chairman. “Seven in 10 suburban voters disapprove of him. Why would you want to be seen with him? That to me is the damage he’s done to the Republican party.” State Rep. Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago, said he’s most interested in is party unity. He concedes that Trump wasn’t his first choice. He was Marco Rubio support, however, Fortner said there’s no chance he’d skip the convention in protest. “The convention is a good chance to see our different parts going to come together, I hope they do and that’s one reason I’m going to be a part of that,” Fortner said. In an unusual move, Trump volunteers were asking delegates to sign a pledge that they will vote for Trump on nomination night. On Monday, Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, and Willie Robertson, star of the “Duck Dynasty” show will be speaking. Monday’s theme will be “Make America Safe Again,” and focus on national security and immigration. Two former Republican presidents, two of the most recent GOP nominees and most of Trumps’ former opponents are skipping the convention as well. However, organizers said it’s not about the establishment, it’s about the grassroots supporters.)

WTTW
— IL GOP Chair: Illinois in ‘Lockstep’ with Trump – Paris Schutz
http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2016/07/18/il-gop-chair-illinois-lockstep-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The head of Illinois’ Republican Party sought to downplay any division that might exist among the rank and file over the nomination of Donald Trump. Chairman Tim Schneider riled up the crowd of Illinois delegates at a delegation breakfast Monday morning in Cleveland, vowing that Illinois would work to elect Donald Trump in November, and that, counter to reports of division among the ranks, the state is “in lockstep” with Trump. “Donald Trump has tapped into something that has resonated with millions of new voters across our country,” Schneider said. “We are absolutely unified behind Donald Trump,” said Trump Illinois co-chair Demetra Demonte. “There is no fracture. The leadership of the party, the people of Illinois are totally united.” But despite the rah-rah atmosphere of Monday’s event, high-profile congressmen have distanced themselves from the nominee, and top party officials including Gov. Bruce Rauner and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk are avoiding the convention all together. It has drawn the ire of Trump delegates, many of whom are first-time attendees at the convention and new to the political process. “I’m disappointed,” said alternate Trump delegate James Ignatowski, a first-time delegate from Chicago. “It’d be nice for Governor Rauner and Mark Kirk to be here. Show the Democrats we’re united. Show it to Madigan and Cullerton.” Schneider and other state GOP officials drew rousing cheers when they insisted the state party was solidly behind Trump. The Illinois leadership aimed to bridge the divide between more established members of the party and newer entrants. “We need to work together. We’re not your enemy, were your friend,” Schneider said. Ignatowski says he was drawn to Trump and compelled to get involved in politics because of his disdain for Chicago politicians, and because of Trump’s hard line on ending illegal immigration and cracking down on undocumented immigrants. “People should come here legally. Let’s keep the illegals out of the country,” he said. “Trump truthfully cares about Americans,” Ignatowski said. “He spent his own money, while others spent millions against him.” Through many delegates say they have been attracted to Trump from the beginning, others have needed some persuading. “I’m coming around, I’m really coming around,” said Judy Diekelman, an at-large delegate, who, by rule must cast her vote for Trump. “I’m very happy with his VP pick. We have a big tent, and we have to look at all opinions.” Political conventions are typically a celebration of the party, but the events in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where three officers were killed in an ambush on Sunday, have cast a shadow over this year’s event. Illinois State Representative John Cabello, a former police officer from Rockford, urged the delegation to be vigilant in the wake of heightened security around the convention center. “When you’re going to and from the convention, please be aware of your surroundings,” Cabello said. “If a criminal sees you paying attention, you will less likely be a victim of crime. If you see something out of the ordinary, please report it.” The delegation will next visit with Ohio Gov. John Kasich at a dinner reception before the convention begins in earnest Monday evening.)

— Illinois delegation at GOP convention gets security warning – Tina Sfondeles
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/illinois-delegation-at-gop-convention-gets-security-warning/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Trump campaign co-chair warned about state delegates what they should do if confronted by any potentially violent situations as the Republican convention kicks off on Monday. The co-chair, State Rep. John Cabello, a Rockford police detective currently on leave, commented at an Illinois Republican Party breakfast for Illinoisans at the convention. “Look people in the eyes. Make sure they know that you are watching what’s going on,” Cabello, R-Machesney Park said. “Pay attention. If you see something, please report it right away.”  The opening session will be gaveled to order a day after three police officers were shot and killed in Baton Rouge, La., and just weeks after police shootings in Dallas. There is a massive law enforcement presence — in uniform and undercover — at all political conventions, with forces beefed up as tens of thousands are here in advance of Donald Trump accepting the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday. The Illinois GOP party starts each convention day with a breakfast, notable on Monday for who was not there — Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. Still, Cabello and Illinois Republican Party Chair Tim Schneider said Illinoisans are united in wanting to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton. At past conventions, these morning sessions have been used to rally the troops for the Illinois ticket. No speaker mentioned Kirk by name. As for any divides among Republicans who are not backing Trump because of his divisive rhetoric, Cabello stressed that the Illinois Republican Party is working with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Cabello said that the “No Trump” and “Dump Trump” movement had totally fizzled. “I can guarantee it is iron clad that nothing, nothing is going to stop Donald Trump from being our nominee,” he said to applause. “We have all locked arms. We are all ready to make sure that crooked Hillary is not the next president of the United States,” Cabello said. The daily breakfast marked the first time all Illinois delegates — at-large, alternate at-large and elected delegates were meeting. Included among that group is 17-year-old Karl Miller, of west suburban Downers Grove, the youngest Illinois delegate, an at-large alternate. Most in the room were first-time convention goers, including Schneider, and most of the elected delegates. “Are you ready to take back the White House in 2016,” Schneider said to cheers, while touting that Donald Trump’s campaign has resonated with “millions and millions of new voters.” “We need to work together. All of us together. The Illinois Republican Party, we’re not your enemy. We’re your friend,” Schneider said. For all the talk of unity around Trump, the Illinois delegation on Monday afternoon is meeting with former GOP 2016 presidential contender Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Kasich is not backing Trump and is unlikely even to attend the convention.)

DAILY HERALD
— Former candidate Kasich meeting with Illinois delegates as convention opens – Mike Riopell
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160718/news/160719156/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Kasich’s planned visit with the Illinois delegation today at the Republican National Convention comes as something of a consolation prize to both the former candidate and some of the delegates. Kasich is one of the few candidates with elected delegates in the Illinois group, having fared better than presumptive nominee Donald Trump in the state’s March primary among voters in some parts of the Chicago area. Among his primary backers in the Illinois delegation: state Rep. David Harris of Arlington Heights, former Cook County GOP Chairman Aaron Del Mar of Palatine and former state party Chairman Pat Brady of St. Charles. Del Mar wasn’t elected but was chosen later as part of the state’s group of at-large delegates who are committed to vote for Trump because of his primary victory in Illinois. Brady had been at the front of the push to upend Trump’s nomination, but the rules changes that could have made that possible failed last week. Kasich didn’t get the main stage speaking role other former Trump rivals did. Dr. Ben Carson and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will speak Tuesday on the main stage. Texas Sen.

— Youngest Republican delegate Carl Miller gets convention for his 18th birthday – Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: I had the honor of sitting next to Miller and speaking with him at some length during the Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Peoria on Saturday, May 21, 2016.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160718/news/160719157/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If the election were held today, Republican convention delegate Carl Miller of Downers Grove couldn’t vote in it. Lucky for him, he turns 18 on Friday, a day after Donald Trump is set to accept the Republican nomination for president. Miller will be there to see it. “I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present,” he said. After grabbing headlines last year for his bid to meet as many presidential candidates as he could, Miller was picked by the state Republican Party as an alternate statewide delegate to the Cleveland convention. On Sunday, he was driving there with his grandfather. As the youngest Illinois delegate, does he have some particular role to play? “It’s a humbling experience,” Miller said. “I really want to do this so I can serve the party and more importantly serve our country and advance the conservative principles I believe in.” Miller left for Cleveland Saturday on a road trip that is more presidential than most. The Ohio stops included: The Warren G. Harding home in Marion, the James Garfield home in Mentor and Garfield’s grave. And they hoped to hit up a William McKinley site in Canton Sunday if there was time. “It really enhances the experience to learn the history,” Miller said. Trump wasn’t Miller’s first choice — he’s a fan of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — but he’ll vote for Trump in November. “I want to share this experience with as many voters as I can,” he said. “I want to defeat the Democrats in November more than anything.” PICTURE CAPTION: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gets a picture taken in March with Carl Miller of Downers Grove at Abbington Banquets in Glen Ellyn. Miller will serve as the youngest Republican delegate at the party convention this week in Cleveland.)

— Hostile media poised to blast GOP convention, Media Research Center says – Jennifer Harper  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents side with the “hostile media” against me and against my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/17/hostile-media-poised-to-blast-gop-convention-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Here’s a safe prediction about this week’s Republican National Convention: TV reporters will paint the GOP as too conservative, hostile to women, anathema to blacks, and an all-around turn-off to voters,” says Rich Noyes, research director for the Media Research Center. “And that’s not just because the ever-controversial Donald Trump is set to be nominated as the party’s presidential candidate.” Actually, this is a tradition. Broadcasters have been framing the Republican Party and its candidates as rigid, judgmental and ultra-conservative for years, says Mr. Noyes, and he ought to know. The conservative press watchdog has documented liberal rants against the Grand Old Party since 1988, with correspondents acting as “Democratic surrogates, lecturing Republican officials and delegates about how they are too far to the right and intolerant,” the analyst notes. “It does not matter to the media whether the nominee is a conservative like Ronald Reagan, or a moderate like John McCain. The networks read from virtually the same script each year,” Mr. Noyes continues, adding that his organization again will track the bias and share the now familiar findings. “So if you watch one of the liberal networks this week and think you’re hearing an echo of previous slams of the GOP — you probably are,” advises Mr. Noyes. “No man will ever bring out of the presidency the reputation that carries him into it.”)

http://www.postandcourier.com/20160718/160719481/when-bureaucracy-tops-the-charts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal bureaucracy gets a black eye from the public for the officiousness and red tape that are sometimes part of dealing with it. Think of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Internal Revenue Service and the Transportation Safety Administration. The bureaucracy also comes under frequent fire from elected leaders in Congress, usually conservatives, who complain about its expense and lack of accountability. But there is one group that is unmatched in its admiration for federal workers — the bureaucracy itself. According to ratings given to federal workers in their employee reviews, an unbelievable 99 percent are doing at least a good job. Unbelievable is right. Nevertheless, according to data collected by the Government Accountability Office, 33.1 percent of federal employees were given an “outstanding” rating, while 27.4 percent exceed “fully successful,” and 38.8 percent of federal employees were viewed merely as “fully successful.” Of the minuscule remainder, 0.3 percent qualified as “minimally successful,” and 0.1 percent as “unacceptable.” Presumably, that microscopic group of “unacceptables” are the federal employees who are sent home with pay because of job-related problems. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., was highly critical of the rating system’s shortcomings, as might be expected, since he is chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “Apparently the federal bureaucrats grading one another think virtually everyone who works for the government is doing a fantastic job,” Rep. Miller said. “But given the dysfunction we’ve seen throughout the federal government over the last several years, that can’t possibly be true.” He added, “While most federal employees are dedicated and competent, everyone knows the government’s personnel system is rigged to protect those who can’t or won’t do their jobs.” Certainly, this report is evidence of that. The GAO recommended that agencies and their employees recognize “that a rating of ‘fully successful’ is already a high bar and should be valued and rewarded and that ‘outstanding’ is a difficult level to achieve.” Or should be. The rating system also relates to job promotions and compensation. That compounds the outrage and demands reform. If the civil service isn’t willing to dump the rating system as an utter fraud, then Congress should take on the job. Based on these ratings, the federal bureaucracy scores higher on the scale of excellence than Ivory Soap, which is only 99 and 44/100ths percent pure. And that just won’t wash.)

— RNC chair: Trump planning tour to woo Latino voters, believes convention will be turning point  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, anti-Trumps want Trump to “woo” citizens of Mexico in America legally or illegally by doing much more than just promising to give them more preference than Clinton does.  Anti-Trumps want Trump to promise a) to legalize pot in America to further booster Mexico’s economy and to further destroy America, b) to force everyone to speak, read, and write Spanish, c) give southwest America back to Mexico, and d) then to give all of what is left of America to Mexico.)
