CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF PRITZKER: With Pritzker win, pot legalization is now in legislators’ hands, but not all are on board – Robert McCoppin (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you promote destruction.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-pritzker-illinois-marijuana-legalize-legislature-20181108-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Sabet, head of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization, said he thinks the study authors are biased. Sabet said they failed to account for the serious downsides of drug use, such as car accidents and substance abuse. He also said decriminalization of marijuana, which took effect in Illinois in 2016, addresses many of the social justice issues. Holdouts against legalization remain ready to fight it in the General Assembly. House Republican leader Jim Durkin said lawmakers should stop their rush toward legalization. “I will never support legalization,” he said. “I don’t like how quickly we are moving. Illinois should not be part of this lab experiment. I see no societal value.” Durkin supports medical marijuana for pain and end-of-life care and said that program appears successful in prohibiting access for underage use and the illegal drug market. He called for lawmakers to review the results when that pilot program expires in summer 2020, before moving beyond it, but said he does not know how much opposition remains in Springfield.)

— My house is worth how much? Fixes to tax assessments bring dramatic changes for Chicago homeowners – Hal Dardick (DIERSEN: If homes cannot be sold for their assessed value, should taxing bodies be required to pay home sellers a) the difference between the selling price and the assessed value and b) refunds of real estate taxes paid based on recalculated home value back 5, 10, 15, 20+ years?)

— Put on your big boy pants, Mr. President, and let CNN’s Jim Acosta do his job – John Kass (DIERSEN: I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but a) who do NOT want me to know about their press conferences, b) who do NOT want me to attend their press conferences, c) who do NOT want me to ask questions during their press conferences, d) who do NOT want me to speak with other reporters, e) who have barred me from attending their press conferences, f) who have had me thrown out of their press conferences, and/or g) who do not want me to report on their press conferences. Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not report anything about their fundraisers before they will let me attend their fundraisers. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon and even worse things. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions at press conferences and share privileged information with reporters that have caused Republican candidates to be defeated and even worse things. Of course, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. What if I had pretended to be of Swedish national origin?)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: To vote for Democrats is to promote abortion.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: HB40 reared its head in Tuesday’s election. Every incumbent who voted for the controversial measure was reelected, and sponsors of the HB4114 to repeal HB40 were defeated. They are state Reps. Peter Breen, Christine Winger and Sheri Jesiel. Breen’s defeat was particularly shocking. Along with being had been an outspoken opponent of HB40, which repealed the “trigger” language in Illinois stating that the day Roe v. Wade is ever modified or overturned, abortion would be illegal in Illinois with no exceptions. HB40 also removed the restriction on state funding for some abortions. After the bill passed and was signed by the governor, Breen filed suit to dismantle the legislation. Personal PAC, which supports abortion rights, spent more than $300,000 to unseat Breen, “and it was worth every penny,” Terry Cosgrove, president and CEO of Personal PAC told POLITICO, calling it one of the political action committee’s “biggest victories ever.”)

— New York Times Beats Race, Age Discrimination Class Claims (DIERSEN: Rather than fight race discrimination, fight gender discrimination, and/or fight age discrimination, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers in the federal government who were White, male, and/or older, and who were victims of the aforesaid discrimination, “cut deals” to keep their jobs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in GAO’s Chicago office who, to keep their jobs, agreed to help GAO a) waste my career and b) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/class-action/ny-times-beats-race-age-discrimination-class-claims
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The New York Times Co. convinced a federal court Nov. 8 that employee allegations of race and age discrimination can’t be certified as a class action. There are too few employees in each of the proposed classes to justify class status, Judge P. Kevin Castel wrote for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs identified 10 employees for the race class and 24 for the age class.)

 

FORBES
— If You Don’t Want To Flip Burgers At 67, Do These 10 Things Right Now – Jack Kelly (DIERSEN: What are some of the things that you did to qualify yourself for better paying jobs and to keep those jobs? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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 32.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2018/11/08/if-you-dont-want-to-flip-burgers-at-67-do-these-10-things-right-now/#452f15ff3586
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here is what you should immediately start doing if you are in your late 30s and older: 1. Think critically if your type of work can be done later in life. Does your job have certain physical manual work requirements that have a built in expiration date as you age? Could technology easily disrupt your job? Can your position be relocated? Could a junior (cheaper) person take over your responsibilities with a little training period? Will your job be too taxing and stressful to continue in your 50s, 60s or 70s? 2. If your job doesn’t easily lend itself to working into your sixties, start figuring out a second career right away before it’s too late. 3. Start a side hustle. If it doesn’t work keep trying until something clicks. 4. Consider going back to school to earn a degree which may open some new doors, and offer a new lease on life. 5. Obtain training in a niche area that could lead to a second career. 6. Save and invest as much money as possible to allow you to retire on your own terms. This will be difficult because it requires giving up fancy vacations, flashy cars, and an extravagant lifestyle. 7. If you live in an expensive and high taxed neighborhood, sell your home, move to a lower cost state, and bank the savings. 8. Maybe pivot to a job with the government, education or other sectors that can’t discriminate like the private sector does. 9. Start a side business that is a passion but could also provide a steady stream of income. 10. Don’t bury your head in the sand and pretend that you’ll never grow old.)
— How Much Longer Will You Work? – Sara Zeff Geber
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarazeffgeber/2018/11/08/how-much-longer-will-you-work/#ba8e51a32d2a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are you one of the many baby boomers who have done the math and determined that even with Social Security you have not saved enough money to retire? If so, welcome to a very large club. The Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) and the Federal Reserve estimate the average accumulated wealth for workers in their 50s and 60s is less than $150,000. That amount will surely not support a 30+ year retirement, especially in the coastal areas of the U.S. Most financial advisors are recommending accumulating assets of at least $1million to ensure you will be able to finance your full retirement, including health care costs and care for yourself and your spouse or loved one. If you don’t have quite that much, does it mean you will have to work forever or live in your wealthy cousin’s basement? Probably not, but it depends. First of all, if you are in good health, why do you want to retire? If you aren’t sick of what you are doing, hang in there for a while and accumulate a bit more savings. If you are chomping at the bit to leave your current employer or stop doing whatever draws a 1099 at the end of the year, then it may be time to consider what else you might want to do that would still earn a paycheck and be more aligned with your current interests and values.)

https://abc7chicago.com/politics/trump-revels-in-victories-revokes-cnn-reporters-press-credentials/4640053/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump sparred with CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, who asked him questions about the migrant caravan headed for the U.S. and the Russia investigation. “That’s enough, put down the mic,” Trump said to Acosta, as he tried to ask more questions. Acosta struggled with a woman in a maroon dress tried to take the microphone from him. She eventually succeeded and handed it to another reporter. “CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.” Acosta tweeted just before 8 p.m. Eastern Time that Secret Service denied him entry to the White House grounds for his live shot. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of physically assaulting a White House intern and saying his press credentials had been revoked until further notice. “President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable,” Sanders wrote in the statement. The statement claimed, without evidence, that Trump has “given the press more access than any President in history,” and concluded, “As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181107/dont-write-illinois-gops-eulogy-just-yet-election-expert-says
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton, who narrowly lost to Gov. Bruce Rauner in the GOP gubernatorial primary, said state party leadership failed this election cycle. “The Illinois Republican Party needs new leadership at this point,” she said, suggesting Republicans from downstate or central Illinois could be up for the task. With Gov. Bruce Rauner out of the picture, so, too, is the money he sunk into GOP campaigns — and that’ll cause problems for Republican candidates, Redfield said. The GOP also will struggle until it finds its identity, Redfield said. The conservative wing led by Ives and activist Dan Proft has been targeting socially moderate Republicans to the detriment of the party, he said. “I suspect there’s going to be a real battle for control (of the state party),” Redfield said. “If they’re not sure who they are and they don’t replace Rauner’s money, they’re going to be in a world of hurt in two years, especially with (President) Trump at the head of the ticket.” Based on voter demographics, Republican political consultant Brad Goodman said, the party will become less and less relevant unless it can put up candidates young suburban women will support.)

— SALT Cap Comes Back to Haunt GOP With Key Tax Writers Losing Their Seats – Laura Davison
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-07/salt-cap-comes-back-to-haunt-as-key-gop-tax-writers-lose-bids
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two of the key players behind the tax overhaul — Illinois’ Peter Roskam and Minnesota’s Erik Paulsen — were among the six casualties. They sit on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, whose Republican bench has been wiped out by losses, as well as retirements. Ten of the 24 Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee won’t return to Congress next year — in addition to Roskam and Paulsen, two members from low-tax states lost their re-election bids and six more decided to retire or run for other office. The loss of many of the committee’s top lawmakers means the GOP will need to rebuild members’ expertise in tax, trade and health-care issues. . .Roskam and Paulsen helped craft the 2017 bill and continued to support it even after a controversial provision was included to limit deductions to $10,000. Previously, they were unlimited. The lawmakers had hoped campaigning on the tax law’s other benefits, such as lower rates for individuals and more generous child tax credits, could offset voter frustration over the new cap. . .Roskam, who served as the House Ways and Means tax policy subcommittee chairman during the tax overhaul process, hails from a suburban Chicago district where the counties are some of the highest taxed in the state. About 49.3 percent of the tax returns filed in the district prior to the law change claimed the SALT deduction, according to data from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. Roskam’s Democratic opponent, Sean Casten repeatedly campaigned on eliminating the SALT cap. “The fact that nearly half of his own constituents claim this deduction didn’t prevent Peter Roskam from making SALT a target,” Casten said in a white paper he published about tax policy. Over the course of the campaign, Roskam softened his support for the SALT cap, saying it should be indexed to inflation.)

— Rebuilding the shell-shocked Illinois GOP – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-election-illinois-future-republicans-20181107-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: What’s an Illinois Republican Party to do? Recoil and tremble? Or unite and rebuild? Here’s the first step: Mend the fracture between establishment and conservative Republicans — Rauner supporters and those who backed his primary opponent, Rep. Jeanne Ives — and begin the rebuilding process. Find common ground and bury old grudges. Coalesce around new, fresh leadership in the House and Senate. The talent is there. House and Senate members who managed to fend off challengers — Sens. Neil Anderson of Andalusia and John Curran of Downers Grove, along with Reps. Mark Batinick of Plainfield, Tom Morrison of Palatine, Tom Demmer of Dixon, Grant Wehrli of Naperville, to name a few — will have to retread this party. And they’ll have to do it without worrying about the next election. Don’t go weak. Go big — that is, as big as a minority party can go. Give the people of Illinois fresh ideas for fixing this state’s government and economy. . .The GOP can have its comeback. The process will be a grind. Given the lingering hard feelings between conservatives and the more moderate establishment, even agreeing on leadership post-Rauner will be grueling. But the infighting that has pitted Republicans against one another needs to stop. On Tuesday, that intramural acrimony within the GOP helped the Democrats. But Tuesday is history. Republicans, stop the self-destruction. Unify. Rebuild. Start now.)

https://kplr11.com/2018/11/05/rauner-wraps-up-campaigning-at-benedictine-university/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner and other Illinois Republicans rallied at the Benedictine University in Lisle on the eve of Tuesday’s election. Rauner was wrapping up a 9-day bus tour of the state with one last attempt to get his supporters to the polls. If we get the turnout, we’re going to win it,” predicted Rauner. He was joined by other Republicans including Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The two reminded voters that if Rauner loses the election Democrats will control the house and the governor’s mansion. “We have a governor that’s always stood up to Mike Madigan, and we have a governor who is going to stand up to the person that Mike Madigan appointed which is J.B. Pritzker,” said Sanguinetti. Rauner asked his supports to remind their neighbors to go the polls on Tuesday. He said voters have been telling him, “Stay strong, don’t back down don’t give in. You’re on the right track. Madigan has got to go.”)

The new survey, conducted by Ally Financial, uncovered how much millennials spend a month, what they spend on, and what role retirement plays in their financial habits to date.)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— How will Illinois’ political journalists vote on Tuesday? We have a guess. – LGIS News Service (DIERSEN: LGIS News Service DOES NOT CONSIDER ME TO BE A POLITICAL JOURNALIST.  My GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails drive lots of traffic to websites owned by LGIS News Service. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Since 2004, I have sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning. Since 2015, I have also sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every evening. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 317,000 articles and information about many upcoming events. What do you say to my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I AM NOT A POLITICAL JOURNALIST? Most commonly, to discredit me and to discredit my emails, they stress that no one pays me for what I do as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, that GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are free, that the emails contain no advertising or pictures, that I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, and that I do not have a degree in journalism. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511621503-how-will-illinois-political-journalists-vote-on-tuesday-we-have-a-guess
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois’ political journalists were the only ones voting on Tuesday, J.B. Pritzker, Mike Madigan and the rest of the state’s Democrats would win in a landslide. Chicago City Wire analysis of the primary voting records of 100 leading Illinois political journalists found that 93 percent of the primary votes they’ve collectively cast have been for Democrats, versus just seven percent for Republicans. All told, out of 424 total primary votes recorded by the Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE), 395 of them were for Democrats. In the March 2018 primary, 57 of the 100 journalists reviewed voted in the Democrat primary. One, Fox 32 Political Editor Mike Flannery, voted in the Republican one. Of the 100 journalist voting records analyzed, 79 had cast more Democrat ballots than Republican ones and 18 recorded no primary votes. One journalist cast an equal number of Democrat and Republican ballots, and two cast more ballots for Republicans than Democrats. Those two are Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller (5 GOP / 4 DEM) and Doug Finke, a veteran reporter of the Springfield State Journal-Register (1/0). Miller, who founded the popular Capitol Fax newsletter in 1993, voted in Democrat primaries in 1994, 1996 and 1998, then Republican ones in 2000, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 before pulling a Democrat primary ballot again this past March. Finke has cast one primary ballot since 1992, in a four-way 2006 Republican primary that included State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, Jim Oberweis, Bill Brady and Ron Gidwitz. Topinka won 38 percent of the primary vote before falling to incumbent Democrat Rod Blagojevich in the general election. . .How do your favorite Illinois political journalists vote in primary elections? Chicago City Wire analyzed the voting records of 100 of the state’s top politics and government journalists to test the conventional wisdom. Are they really Democrat-leaning?)

Of course, their purpose to get information a) to justify their wasting my career, b) to justify their taking adverse actions against me, and c) to justify forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They most frequently asked me questions to confirm my support for the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— To measure the real base of California’s Republican support, look no further than Trump’s approval numbers – John Myers (DIERSEN: What are Trump’s approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? What do you say to Republican candidates in districts that have low Trump approval numbers a) who dump Trump to get elected/reelected and b) who dump Trump supporters like me to get elected/reelected?)
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-california-republicans-2018-election-analysis-20181105-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To calculate the size of the Republican base, just look at the president’s job-approval number. Find that loyal Trump supporter, goes the logic, and you’re looking at a voter who will stick with Republican candidates through hell or high water. That number, according to a recent poll, is about 39% of statewide likely voters. The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found that this core group of GOP voters is centered among the ranks of white male voters. Many live near San Diego or in the Central Valley. Most are registered Republicans, though some are unaffiliated “independent” voters. Many attended college but didn’t leave with a degree. Given the animus of the state’s elected officials toward Trump’s policies, 39% support for the president among likely California voters is a reasonably strong showing. (And it’s worth noting that the president’s job approval is much lower among all adults — another example of how the electorate doesn’t accurately reflect the state as a whole.) It’s less uplifting, though, for a Republican who’s trying to win statewide office. Trump may have helped reveal the contours of the party’s base, but his reputation could also create a shatterproof ceiling come election day.)

POLITICO
— White House braces for midterm House loss – ZACH MONTELLARO (DIERSEN: Tragically, some Republican candidates in Illinois will lose on November 6, 2018. QUESTION: Who will Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs blame those losses on? ANSWER: Those who voted Ives in the primary and those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Will the blamers succeed in striking the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform? Will the blamers succeed in banishing from the IRP all those who support the aforesaid planks? Will the blamers succeed in dissolving the IRP?)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-score/2018/10/29/white-house-braces-for-midterm-house-loss-392798
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “White House political director Bill Stepien wrote a three-page memo this week in which he outlined the political landscape confronting the GOP and bluntly warned that the party’s prospects for the House are ‘challenging.’ … [I]n the memo, Stepien attempted to divert blame from Trump toward several other factors that he said made a ‘traditionally challenging year even more difficult.’)

— You’ve Been Offered a Great New Job, but Is It Worth a Pay Cut? – Rob Walker (DIERSEN: I should write a book about taking pay cuts. GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, while I was working for IRS as a GS-12 Step 5 (currently $91,880) Revenue Officer, I applied for a job at GAO. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats offered me a transfer, but only if I agreed to suffer a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade to GS-9 Step 10. The Democrats who ran GAO would not have forced me to suffer a pay cut to transfer if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)
