DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County will have at least three contested mayoral races – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181126/dupage-county-will-have-at-least-three-contested-mayoral-races
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton Voters in Wheaton will choose between two contenders vying to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. City Councilman Phil Suess officially entered the mayoral race on the last day of candidate filing, though he confirmed his campaign months ago. His council colleague and opponent in the mayoral race, John Prendiville, turned in his nominating petitions when the filing period opened a week ago. Three candidates — incumbent Suzanne Fitch and newcomers Ron Almiron and Erica Bray-Parker — will square off for two available at-large council seats. Nominating papers were filed last Monday on behalf of Fitch and Almiron, an attorney who finished out of contention in a crowded GOP primary last spring for two District 4 seats on the county board. Erica Bray-Parker also filed last Monday for an at-large council seat. Bray-Parker has been a civics teacher at Glenbard North High School for 25 years and lived in Wheaton for more than two decades. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, ran unopposed last year to retain his seat representing the North District. His fourth term on the council doesn’t expire until 2021. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corp., a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago’s collar counties no longer GOP turf The final election totals underline that Democratic wins weren’t just at the top of the ticket, but for key county-level jobs, too. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/chicagos-collar-counties-no-longer-gop-turf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political insiders are divided over how much of this has to do with a drag on the ticket from the locally unpopular President Donald Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner, with the latter losing to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in all but McHenry County. But when even long-time entrenched GOP incumbents like DuPage County Board President Dan Cronin barely survive, something is different. In DuPage, which for decades was the center of GOP statewide politics, Cronin got just 51.02 percent of the vote against his Democratic foe, according to unofficial but complete totals compiled by the county’s election commission. Democrats took the county clerk’s spot and apparently will have seven seats on the county board, up from just one now. All of that comes on top of Democratic U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski, Mike Quigley, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Bill Foster, and Reps.-elect Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood, each leading the ballot in that portion of their districts located in DuPage.)

Extremely few make the aforesaid deadlines. What if the federal government raised the aforesaid deadlines by 5 years or 10 years?)
https://japantoday.com/category/politics/japan-to-pave-way-for-raising-working-age-limit-to-70
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Japanese government wants to raise the working age limit to 70 from the current 65 as part of efforts to promote economic growth in the fast-graying country, according to a draft plan compiled by a government panel. The draft midterm report by the committee responsible for coming up with the government’s growth strategy also calls for making big firms disclose the ratio of different age groups among employees, a move aimed at promoting mid-career employment among companies, which tend to heavily recruit people freshly out of school.)

 

GLOBE AND MAIL
— Wrongfully fired employees can work together to help end age discrimination – DANIEL LUBLIN (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, GAO discriminated against all its employees in its Chicago office a) who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and b) who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. None of the aforesaid employees joined the agency-wide class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation like I did. Instead, they “cut deals” with GAO to keep their jobs. Those deals included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keeping me off audits of IRS, and g) forcing me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— A job worth having? The fight to be governor was brutal — but to what end for the winner? – Editorial
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2018-11-23/editorial-job-worth-having.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois’ bond status already is barely above junk status. State officials report that meeting those obligations will consume 26 percent of revenues. Posen reports that J.P. Morgan Asset Management employed “a more realistic measure of their obligations” and bumped the state’s 26 percent number to 51 percent. Needless to say, devoting that huge percentage of revenues to state debt and retirement percentages will make it impossible to properly fund core state services. None of this is, of course, set in stone. But the public officials who’ve charted this current course of fiscal disaster are living in a world with make-believe budget numbers. Illinois must change. Will it? Can it? To this point, the answer is an emphatic no.)

Black, white, Hispanic, Christian, non-Christian working side by side for 18 months to help form their values for the rest of their lives – before being brainwashed by college intellectuals, gangs, imams and other bigots. 2. Stop the massive immigration to give us time to fix things. 3. Return to pay-as-you-go for college. Make students work for a college education. 4. Recognize this division for what it is and ignore all the other demonization against politicians by the other party or by fake news media. The media hide this root cause of our divisions. Politicians refuse to discuss it.)

Ever-increasingly, non-Whites talk and act like they agree with Democrats.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/22/us/white-americans-minority-population.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The graphic was splashy by the Census Bureau’s standards and it showed an unmistakable moment in America’s future: the year 2044, when white Americans were projected to fall below half the population and lose their majority status. The presentation of the data disturbed Kenneth Prewitt, a former Census Bureau director, who saw it while looking through a government report. The graphic made demographic change look like a zero-sum game that white Americans were losing, he thought, and could provoke a political backlash. So after the report’s release three years ago, he organized a meeting with Katherine Wallman, at the time the chief statistician for the United States. “I said ‘I’m really worried about this,’” said Dr. Prewitt, now a professor of public affairs at Columbia University. He added, “Statistics are powerful. They are a description of who we are as a country. If you say majority-minority, that becomes a huge fact in the national discourse.”)

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/22/thanksgiving-the-lefts-use-of-national-identity-for-immigration-maximalism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This trend of nonstop, immigration maximalism is the sort of driving force that Huntington’s Who Are We? notes has contributed to the decimation of America’s national identity which the political Left has justified through the revisionist story of the pilgrims. “‘We Americans’ face a substantive problem of national identity epitomized by the subject of this sentence. Are we a ‘we,’ one people or several? If we are a ‘we,’ what distinguishes us from the ‘thems’ who are not us? …” Huntington wrote in 2004. “These questions remain for Americans in their post-September 11 era.”)

— The Democrats’ vote-by-mail juggernaut
https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/20/the-democrats-vote-by-mail-juggernaut/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The overwhelming success of the Democrats’ vote-by-mail program is one of the least-covered stories of this election year. In 1994, the Democrats lost 13 House seats by something like 2,000 votes. Lots of races are won and lost at the margins and the Democrats essentially had the vote-by-mail field to themselves. So, as the Republicans talk about what they can do differently in 2020, a solid VBM program should be at or near the top of their list.)

— The way forward
https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/20/the-way-forward/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I just don’t think that much of anything is going to change between now and 2020, when President Trump is likely to be on the ballot for reelection. The suburbs are gonna be brutal yet again for Republicans. They should focus mostly on Downstate (where the President will help), while doing the best they can to defend suburban incumbents and make an effort at picking off some of the fluke Democratic winners. Start early, work hard and smart and hold Gov. Pritzker to his promise to veto a redistricting map that isn’t fairly drawn and then help make sure his veto isn’t overridden by Democratic super-majorities. Also, find a way to get Dick Uihlein back on the same page. With Rauner and his checkbook making an exit, these primaries will only drain the resources necessary for the general election.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— When former state GOP leader Pat Brady said President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about women and minorities “hurts” Republicans, some guests at Monday’s City Club event booed. “Whether you like it or not,” Brady told the City Club crowd at Maggiano’s Banquets, “We have to come up with an Illinois strategy that bifurcates us away from the president’s message or we won’t be able to recruit people.” Monday’s contentious scene is just another indication of how divided the Republican Party is after that blue-ish wave swept Illinois. The event was titled “Illinois GOP: Now What?” At one point Brady also called out Dan Proft, who runs a right-wing PAC, for funneling $1.2 million to a primary candidate challenging Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin—who ultimately won. That kind of financial support could have benefited Erika Harold, Brady said of the GOP attorney general candidate who fell short. Brady wants financial support to carry candidates through the general election. But Proft, also a panelist, disagreed, saying, “Competition produces better goods and services. Primaries are for improving the quality of the caucus and generals are for growing the caucus.” There was a glimmer of unity. Proft agreed with Brady on the need to do a better job recruiting young people, women and minorities. So now what? . . . A Cook County Circuit Court judge has ruled a Chicago restaurateur can move ahead with his defamation lawsuit against Crain Communications.

Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost only two precincts combined in 2016. “It signals that it’s a time for purging and rebuilding,” Ruhl added. “The focus needs to be on identifying our voter base and growing that base in an upright manner where we’re working with a more diverse group of people and educating them on all the things we know need to happen for this state.”)

— First They Came For Acosta. Why We (PEN America) Sued Trump Before He Acts Again – Jeff Berman and Jennifer Boylan (DIERSEN: What is PEN America’s position on those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who since 2000 have treated me like Trump treats Acosta? Will PEN America sue them?)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/first-came-acosta-why-sued-214850036.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This President has done far more than retaliate against one White House reporter. Rather, he has mounted a sustained campaign of retaliation and threats against an array of journalists and media companies he perceives as critics, ranging from interfering with a merger to threats to revoke media broadcast licenses. This President has demonstrated time and again that, no matter the damage to our democracy, he will make outrageous, chilling, and dangerous remarks to and about journalists. He has that right and nothing in sight will stop him. But when he and his administration take action to curtail the exercise of First Amendment rights, it has not only gone too far morally, it has gone too far legally. That’s why PEN America, an organization of writers and literary professionals whose mission is celebrating and defending free expression, sued President Trump in federal court to stop him. And it’s why Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit with a mission to prevent our democracy from sliding into autocracy, is representing PEN America along with the Yale Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, going after President Trump in federal court to stop him. We are suing President Trump for using the levers of government power he oversees to punish the media for coverage he dislikes, not for his verbal attacks on the press. The President’s retaliatory actions toward news entities harken not just back to the McCarthy era, when the creative community was directly targeted by the government, they are straight out of the modern authoritarian’s playbook. Where Trump has his “enemy of the people,” Stalin had his “vrag naroda” (enemy of the nation). Where Trump has his “lying media,” Hitler had his “lugenpresse” (lying press).)

DAILY HERALD
— California GOP ponders way forward after stunning losses – AP (DIERSEN: What is the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) pondering? Has your representative on the IRP State Central Committee sought your input? What is on the agenda for the December 1, 2018 IRP SCC meeting? Where, and at what time, will the meeting be held? Will public comments be allowed? What will be discussed in the open part of the meeting and what will be discussed in executive session part of the meeting?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20181116/news/311169983/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The California Republican Party isn’t salvageable at this time,” concluded Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly. “The Grand Old Party is dead – partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics,” she wrote in a column on the website CALmatters. Shawn Steel, one of the state’s two Republican National Committee members, said her party has “reached the point of desperation.” “The party’s problems have been around longer and run much deeper than any one person. From money to grassroots organization, California Republicans are completely outmatched,” Steel wrote on the Washington Examiner website. A generation ago, the state was once a reliable win for the GOP in presidential elections. And in Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners delivered winning margins for Republicans year after year. But a surge in immigrants transformed the state and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians has outnumbered whites since 1998. And many of those new voters lean Democratic. The number of registered Republicans has been in a freefall for years – even independents outnumber them. In a sign of what was to come, Hillary Clinton carried Orange County in the 2016 presidential election, the first Democrat to do so since the Depression era. A stronger tack leftward has now dramatically arrived. . .Clearly, President Donald Trump was a factor. He lost California by over 4 million votes in 2016 and has remained unpopular, and many voters saw an opportunity to send a message to Washington. Walters and Rohrabacher, for example, were closely tied to the president, while Democratic candidates campaigned openly against Trump’s agenda. But demographic changes have also helped Democrats, and in key congressional races they fielded a group of fresh faces, not career politicians. Steel, the GOP committeeman, noted that Democrats raised more money and did a better job registering voters and using social media. The state GOP has debated for years whether the party needs to turn to the political center, or right. As far back as 2007, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned the party was “dying at the box office” and needed to claim issues usually associated with the Democratic agenda, including climate change and health care reform. The latest setbacks have set off a fresh round of Republican soul-searching. Travis Allen, a former GOP candidate for governor and ardent Trump supporter, said Thursday he was entering the race to be the state party leader. The party, he said, is at the “lowest point it’s been since the 1880s.”)

NEW REPUBLIC
— The Republicans Broke Congress. Democrats Can Fix It. A roadmap for House Democrats between now and the 2020 election – NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN (DIERSEN: If Gingrich had not gutted GAO in 1990s, I might still be a GAO employee. Gingrich had to know that the Democrats who ran GAO in the 1990s would use his tremendous budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees like me who were Republican, and especially those like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that Gingrich knew full-well that because of his tremendous budget cuts, GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) that Gingrich had no problem with that. They stress that Gingrich, Hastert, Republican U.S. Senators from Illinois, and Republican U.S. Representatives from Illinois have not come to my defense.)
https://newrepublic.com/article/152127/republicans-broke-congress-democrats-can-fix-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For many decades, Congress has provided orientations for its new members. These used to be bipartisan, including a wide range of experts who taught newcomers the rules of how Congress works. After Newt Gingrich’s speakership in the 1990s, they became more partisan and generally less effective. The Democrats will need a much more robust orientation for members, new and otherwise, who have never served in the majority—and the same for staff. There should also be training about how to conduct investigations—there’s going to be a lot to investigate—how to do oversight, how to ask questions of witnesses, and how to use the alphabet soup of resources available to Congress, from CBO to GAO to CRS.)
