I didn’t earn it sooner a) because I took only one course at a time and b) the program required me to take 16 courses. In 1976, Loyola changed its requirements so that those who had an undergraduate degree in business like I did only had to take 12 courses.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner tells reporters to not question wife’s role in the administration – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: When Republican elected officials act against the Republican Party platform, overwhelmingly, it is because that is what their wife wants them to do.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could say Gov. BRUCE RAUNER was not a happy man last week. A couple of media outlets filed open records requests to get emails sent by first lady DIANA RAUNER on a state email account. It was not a question of trying to get emails sent on a personal account. One reason was to determine if the first lady had a hand in all of the recent staff changes, as many suspect. Anyway, according to Politico, the request was denied citing two exemptions in the state’s open records law. One exempts communication with an attorney that would not be revealed in court, and the other covers preliminary drafts, notes and etc. If you’ve used the Freedom of Information Act, you know that the preliminary drafts exemption can be used to conceal a whole lot of stuff. The news outlets did stories about the denials on Tuesday. The whole thing seemed to be on the governor’s mind Tuesday afternoon when he did an availability at the fair. “Reporters have been calling asking if my wife has been very involved in the staff changes that have gone on in my office over the last month or two,” he said. “I think the inquiries, the questions themselves are pathetic. I think they are terrible. I think it just shows how desperate my political opponents are to try to attack my through attacking my wife. I think it’s disgusting.” He went on to say he decides who is on his senior staff. Remarkably, he wasn’t asked a question about the issue, he just launched into it at the end of the availability.)
— Sam McCann – Doug Finke
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The one Senate Republican who voted to override Rauner’s amendatory veto of the school funding bill was SAM McCANN of Plainview. It was not the first time McCann has voted against the wishes of the governor. Last week, Senate Republican Leader BILL BRADY of Bloomington was asked if McCann was still welcome in the Senate Republican caucus. “He’s a Republican. He’s welcome,” Brady said. “Everyone’s got to vote their district.” Brady said he was unhappy McCann didn’t give fellow Republicans a heads-up on how he would vote. But Brady was willing to forgive McCann if McCann thought he was voting how his constituents wanted. Their constituents are telling them to support the governor because as originally passed by the General Assembly, the education funding bill is a Chicago bailout that should be stopped. Wonder if McCann or his representatives have a better read on the district.)
— General Assembly needs to override veto of Debt Transparency Act – Editorial  (DIERSEN: What about an “Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion Transparency Act?” Employers would be required to report what they a) are doing to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) are doing to make way for them by wasting the careers of and getting rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran.  What about an “Elected Official and Party Leader Hit List Transparency Act?”  Elected officials and party leaders would be required to report a) who they blame their problems on, b) who they blame your problems on, and c) who they blame everyone’s problems on.)

— City of Springfield getting better at collecting debt – Mary Hansen (DIERSEN: What do you know about debt collecting? I worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Reps. Elgie Sims (D) and David McSweeney (R) have come together on sponsoring a resolution condemning the acts in Charlottesville, Va. In it, they are crystal clear about this: “The act of violence was definitely an act of domestic terrorism,” the resolution proclaims. Read the resolution. (https://www.scribd.com/document/356337002/House-Resolution-on-Charlottesville) It comes after the state Senate passed a similar measure on Sunday. The events make Gov. Bruce Rauner’s remarks on Monday all the more mystifying. Rauner initially refused to characterize the acts in Charlottesville as terrorism — even after the president was lambasted for two straight days after failing to come out more vehemently against the actions. Rauner appeared unprepared for the question Monday morning — and clearly had not seen the state Senate’s action on Sunday. After Democrats pounced, Rauner’s office released a statement declaring the act was indeed domestic terrorism. – Natasha Korecki (DIERSEN: Sadly, of course, members of Group A will use these resolutions to demonize, to denigrate, and to condemn members of Group B as being racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. Members of Group A are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors and members of Group B are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Chance the Rapper gives out 30K backpacks to kids at parade – WBBM/CNN  (DIERSEN: What do you give out to others? I have given out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. Those emails have gone out each and ever morning since 2004, each and every evening since 2015, and they have included links to more than 278,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wtol.com/story/36123613/chance-the-rapper-gives-out-30k-backpacks-to-kids-at-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chance the Rapper led the way as grand marshal of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in the South Side. Chance, a native of the city’s Chatham neighborhood, donated 30,000 stuffed backpacks for children along the parade route. The parade, now in its 88th year, is a tradition meant to serve as a back-to-school send off. “This is the best thing they have every year,” said a parent on the route. Since education is the focus, funding for public schools was on the minds of parade-goers and city leaders. “Right now we are suffering in a racially discriminatory funding system that it hurts funding in our state,” said  Forrest Claypool, Chicago Public Schools CEO. And while Gov. Bruce Rauner made an appearance before the parade, he did not address the funding issue during the event. Mayor Rahm Emanuel did address the issue. “The state of Illinois has the responsibility not to just show at a parade, not just to cheer, but to actively put resources that taxpayers of the city of Chicago give the state and fund our education equitably and fairly,” Emanuel said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Guess who pays for those $150,000 Columbia journalism degrees? – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because neither my bachelor’s degree nor any of my three master’s degrees are in journalism. In my defense, much of what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Further, much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2  years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/guess_who_pays_for_those_150000_columbia_journalism_degrees.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is questionable is the issue of who pays for the degree. President Obama put limits on repaying back student loans at the 20-year mark, meaning anyone who takes out debt at the $150,000 level is only going to be repaying a fraction of that debt. The taxpayers will pick up the remainder of the tab. Should the taxpayers be paying for that? Particularly if the journalists being turned out end up being advocacy journalists on just one side of the political spectrum? That is worth asking. Cooper makes a very important point in noting that the federal incentives for taking out high-dollar loans and the abbreviated payment obligations make high-priced, questionable-value degrees on offer inevitable at places like Columbia, writing:)

MADISON
— 5 Figures That Define the Middle Class – Sean Williams  (DIERSEN: From what I see, because the cost of living is so high in DuPage County, you need way more than “$24,173 to $72,521” to live a middle class life style in DuPage County and save for your retirement.)
http://host.madison.com/business/investment/markets-and-stocks/figures-that-define-the-middle-class/article_71955a5b-e0d6-5ebc-befc-12e6528774f0.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. $24,173 to $72,521  First things first: we have to define what middle-class income actually is. According to Pew Research Center, which conducted a study on the shrinking middle class in late 2015, an individual would qualify for the middle class if he or she earned more than $24,173 in 2014 dollars, or less than $72,521. Pew’s official definition is income of between 67% and 200% of overall median household income. Back in 1971, some 80 million Americans were considered to be in the middle class, compared to 51 million Americans who were either lumped in the lower- or upper-income brackets. However, by 2015, there were 121.3 million lower- and upper-income Americans, combined (using Pew’s definition of 67% to 200% of median household income). This is compared to 120.8 million middle-income Americans. In a span of 44 years, the middle class had become the minority. . .4. Approximately 70% have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies It’s no secret that Americans aren’t good savers. The U.S. personal saving rate has dipped by more than 50% over the past five decades, and we’re saving nowhere near the recommended 10% to 15% of our paychecks. But it’ll probably shock you to see how bad the middle class is at socking away cash for emergencies. According to a survey from GoBankingRates in September 2016, 37% of persons bringing home $25,000 to $49,999 annually didn’t have a dime in savings, and another 35% had less $1,000. Similarly, 33% of the people making between $50,000 and $74,999 had $0 in savings, and 36% had less than $1,000. Essentially, 7 in 10 middle-class folks have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, which is scary low. . .5. Debt at 122% of annual household income The middle class has also been highly proficient at racking up debt over the past two-plus decades, according to data from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, which is conducted every three years. Though debt for middle-class households hit an all-time high of 140% of annual household income in 2010, the 122% of debt relative to annual household income that middle-class households are lugging around as of 2013 still isn’t good. Comparatively, this is also nearly double the debt burden that middle-class families were contending with in 1989.)

— Making Federal Employees ‘At-Will’ Would Limit Their Legal Recourse – Mathew B. Tully (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage.

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/09/google-is-holding-women-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google spent over $265 million in the past few years to try to fix their “diversity” problem and recruit more minorities, including women. The result? Absolutely no change in the percentage of women employed at the company. Something didn’t go well. Maybe it’s because the company has been systematically underpaying women. They are currently embroiled in a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor on this very issue and 60 women may take legal action for discrimination. This controversy aside, it is inexcusable (and illegal) that someone should be fired from their job because they stated their opinion and specifically disagreed with the arbiters of political correctness. This is viewpoint discrimination, and it was ruled as a violation of the First Amendment by the Supreme Court in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois in 1990.)

DAILY CALLER
— Anti-Trump Nutjob Arrested For Murder Of GOP Committeeman Neighbor – RYAN SAAVEDRA  (DIERSEN: What does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain have to say about this?  From what I see, the more of the following that your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is, the more danger that he/she is in: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, the fewer votes that Trump got and the more votes that Clinton got in his/her precinct, the more danger your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is in.  Trump got only 137 votes in my precinct and Clinton got 211.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/10/anti-trump-nutjob-arrested-for-murder-of-gop-committeeman-neighbor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A man described by neighbors as “quarrelsome” and who placed large anti-Trump signs in his yard is in police custody for the murder of his next-door neighbor – a GOP committeeman. Police in West Goshen Township, PA, charged Clayton Carter, 51, in the shooting death of his next-door neighbor, G. Brooks Jennings in the early morning hours on Tuesday, according to ABC Philadelphia. The conflict began on Monday evening when police officers responded to a dispute between Carter and Jennings that involved cursing and video recording in one of their backyards. Police de-escalated the conflict around 8 p.m. and left. Shortly after midnight, police say another conflict erupted between the two neighbors as Carter claims that Jennings shined a light into his eyes. Carter purportedly told police that he then drove his car onto his lawn and shined the car’s high beams towards Jennings. Investigators say it was at this point when Carter went into his home and grabbed a .380 semi-automatic pistol and confronted Jennings. Carter allegedly shot Jennings in the head, knocking him to the ground, and then stood over his body and shot him in the head again. Police say the victim Carter shot Jennings on Jennings property. One neighbor described Jennings, a GOP committeeman, as “the nicest, best guy I’ve ever met in my whole life.” Those same neighbors described Carter, who apparently had a history of conflict with multiple neighbors — including pulling a gun on Jennings in the past — as someone they avoided because of his volatile behavior. “We steered clear of him. We were frightened of him [Carter] because he’s so unpredictable,” another neighbor said speaking about Carter. Neighbors described his front yard as being crowded with cars and anti-Trump signs that he made himself. Many of the conflicts between Carter and his neighbors were apparently not political, but personal. Police charged Carter with multiple crimes including first-degree murder which makes him ineligible for bail in the state of Pennsylvania.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Google Cancels Meeting on Diversity, Citing Safety Concerns for Employees  CEO had scheduled meeting after the firing of a Google engineer, which had set off a nationwide debate – Jack Nicas
https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-engineers-firing-fuels-debate-among-employees-1502395326
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google canceled a companywide meeting about diversity just before it was set to begin Thursday, saying right-wing websites published the names of employees who had proposed questions, raising security concerns. Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in an email to employees that the company decided to cancel the highly anticipated meeting after employees expressed concerns “about their safety and worried they may be ‘outed’ publicly for asking a question in the Town Hall.”)
— Google Episode Sends a Message: Diversity Is a Tough Sell in Silicon Valley  Tech firms face broad skepticism about results of industry’s push to attract more women and minorities – Georgia Wells and Yoree Koh  (DIERSEN: Because most young women and most young minorities are Democrats, it is easier for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities. But then again, because federal employees and federal retirees are viciously hated, it is harder for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities.)

https://www.ft.com/content/ce016eae-7db6-11e7-ab01-a13271d1ee9c
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having read the memo, a recurring subtext appears: Mr Damore felt stuck in his job, denied access to training and career development paths designed to increase diversity throughout the company. A perception formed in his mind, rightly or wrongly, that Google had overcompensated in its drive to address criticism over diversity. As he saw it, Google was now recruiting and grooming a subset of employees to bypass or even replace him, while excluding him from comparable investment and support. That he was a self-identified “conservative” in Silicon Valley did not help; his complaints were viewed as creating a hostile workplace environment.)

— This tax reform idea could cost you–a lot – DENNIS RODKIN
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20170810/CRED0701/170819998
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With federal tax reform on Congress’s agenda after its August recess, two ideas that have been circulating have the potential to hit Chicago-area homeowners, one of them much harder than the other. Two federal tax deductions—one for mortgage interest and the other for state and local taxes—are in the crosshairs of reformers. The mortgage interest deduction would likely be revised, not eliminated, because it’s a hallowed perk of homeownership, most reports say. But the loss of the state and local tax deduction would cut deeper in the Chicago region anyway, analysts in the real estate, mortgage and tax realms told Crain’s this week. Eliminating the state and local tax deduction could transfer almost $2.9 billion a year out of household wealth and into federal coffers, according to Brian Bernardoni, senior director of government affairs and public policy for the Chicago Association of Realtors. That is, unless that larger tax reform package includes adjustments to the general tax rate that offset this amount.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— KORECKI: TWITTER FIGHT ALERT — Rauner’s new Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Michael Lucci, got into a bit of a Twitter tiff on Wednesday with Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller. The war? Seemed to start when Miller corrected Lucci, who was in an exchange over the school funding bill. It then morphed into whether Miller deleted Lucci’s written remarks in the comments section on Miller’s popular Capitol Fax blog. Rich Miller: “I never admitted that or anything close to that. Please, seek help.” Michael Lucci: “Do you want me to start posting comments you deleted? Like when I caught you supporting a policy that was born of racism?” Miller responds: “Are they in the same box as your first tooth?”  (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINO activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. who pander to Rich Miller, but who fail/refuse to keep diersen@aol.com on their press release lists and press advisory lists?)

https://onenewsnow.com/politics-govt/2017/08/09/gop-governor-welcomes-barack-obama-day
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois-based pro-family activist says he’s appalled that the state’s Republican governor signed legislation designating “Barack Obama Day.”  Gov. Bruce Rauner made it official, signing Senate Bill 55 which means beginning in 2018 Illinois will recognize August 4 as “Barack Obama Day.” Rauner says it won’t be a formal state holiday with paid time off but it will be a day of acknowledgment and celebration. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth says Rauner is the perfect example of a “Rhino Republican.” “A Republican governor heaping praise on the most immoral promoting president in American history, Barack Obama,” LaBarbera complains, “who ushered in homosexual so-called marriage, who mocked the authority of the Bible, who promoted abortion, who loves Planned Parenthood. With Republicans like that, who needs Democrats?” The argument from liberals that there is a similar holiday honoring President Ronald Reagan is a ridiculous comparison, he also insists. “To compare the two is an insult to Ronald Reagan,” LaBarbera insists. “Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest presidents we ever had.” Reagan led the West in a fight to crush Communism, LaBarbera recalls, while Obama “sucked up” to Cuba’s dictators. It’s insulting, he says, to put Obama in the same category.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/opinion/government-defamation-white-house-slander.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Imagine that a senior government official takes to Twitter, makes a call to a national news outlet or goes on national television to disparage you. Imagine that he tells lies about you to a national audience, lies harmful to your professional or personal future. What could you do to remedy the situation? You might seek a retraction. Perhaps you would go to colleagues and friends to privately plead your side of the case. Or if you were lucky enough to have a national platform of your own, maybe you would try to correct the defamatory statement in public. But one thing you couldn’t do is sue. No judicial remedy exists when a federal official defames someone. This gap in the law isn’t a result of a conscious decision by Congress or federal judges to protect the government’s ability to defame you. It was created inadvertently. In an age when the political lie is being weaponized to increasing effect, it’s an oversight Congress should redress.)

— Speaker Madigan calls legislators to work — on Governor’s Day – Tina Sfondeles
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/speaker-madigan-calls-legislators-to-work-on-governors-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin called the scheduling “no coincidence.”  “They just didn’t pick this date out of thin air. They know it’s Republican Day. I think the whole point is to create some type of controversy for the day. And this is old school. It comes out of the old playbook. We’ll deal with it,” Durkin said. Durkin said Republican House legislators typically attend a luncheon on Governor’s Day, with some taking on speaking roles. But he said he’ll be on the House floor. . .Rauner is expected to speak at a Governor’s Day breakfast, as well as attend State Fair events in the afternoon during a rally.)
