THE HILL
— Senior Democrats tout achievements as party’s generational divide widens – SCOTT WONG (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes support the federal government’s “up-or-out” policy for its employees who are non-veteran, White, and/or male. Will political parties impose “up-or-out” policies like the federal government has for its non-veteran White male employees? For example, you would be “out” if you do not make a) township/ward party chairman or municipal/township/ward elected office by age 25, b) county party chairman or county elected office by age 30, c) state central committee member or state representative by age 35, d) state party officer or state senator by age 40, e) state party chairman, statewide office, U.S. representative, or U.S. senator by age 45, and f) RNC/DNC chairman, state governor, or U.S. President by age 50.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— As Supreme Court ruling threatens labor, teacher union leader says it’s been adding members. . .SEIU-Healthcare Illinois wants higher minimum wage – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-monday-edition-20180629-story.html
— Impact of tax changes in 2018 – Elliot Raphaelson (DIERSEN: Government should encourage marriage and homeownership. Therefore, Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/sns-201806192045–tms–savingsgctnzy-b20180619-20180619-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Other changes to the tax code will also impact taxpayer decisions. For example, starting in 2018, there will be a deduction cap of $10,000 on the amount of state and local income and property taxes, known as SALT. This limit is per-tax return, not per person. As a result, many couples who itemized in prior years will no longer have sufficient deductions to do so. For example, a couple that is eligible for the $10,000 deduction will need an additional $14,000 in deductions for charity, mortgage interest, medical expenses and so forth in order for itemizing to be worthwhile. The bottom line is that many couples will be using the standard deduction in 2018 who, in the past, would itemize.)
— The sorry history of journalists murdered in the U.S. for doing their job – Pat Morrison (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have done the most to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-newsroom-journalists-murder-fake-news-trump-charlie-hebdo-0702-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every day, and now more and more each year, newspaper reporters and radio, TV and online news reporters across this country get hate mail, hate email, even death threats. Some are preposterous; some are all too plausible. Within hours of Thursday’s murders, Buzzfeed writer Anne Helen Petersen tweeted, “I’ve had people email death threats, threaten to cut my dog’s throat, tell me I’d pay for my fake news.” We get these threats, but we never get used to them. A healthy tension between the press and politicians is as old as the country, and actually an important part of its governance. Once in a while, it gets dangerously, disastrously unhealthy. The second president of the United States, John Adams, threw newspapermen in prison under laws that, like English law, were broad enough to imprison people for almost any criticism of the government. Editors, publishers, a member of Congress and Benjamin Franklin’s publisher (who was also his grandson) were put behind bars, and countless other newspapermen were intimidated into silence, which is exactly what the targeting of journalists is meant to do: to shut them up. The election of Thomas Jefferson and the affirmation of the First Amendment soon put an end to this persecution. And today we have the sneering and insults from a presidential candidate who became the president of the United States. His “fake news” retorts try to diminish stories he doesn’t like, and the “scum” journalists who reported them. When he calls the press “the enemy of the people,” he is deploying the same term used by Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union to demonize the leader’s own enemies.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Sen. Duckworth: Maternity leave over, will bring nursing baby to work with her – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: During the early 1990s, to help GAO a) hire, retain, and promote young women and b) to get rid of its employees who smoked (overwhelmingly old White men), GAO gutted the smoking room in its Chicago office and turned it into a lactation room.)

— FBI: Man threatened July 4 attack at parade in Cleveland
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/fbi-federal-bureau-of-investigation-cleveland-arrest-parade/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal authorities say they’ve arrested a man who talked about setting off a bomb at a Fourth of July parade in Cleveland and attacking people watching fireworks. Officials said Monday that the man who’s an American citizen often expressed his support for al-Qaida and said he wanted to kill members of the U.S. military. Authorities have charged Demetrius Pitts with attempted support of a terrorist organization. There are no court records listing an attorney for Pitts, who lives in the Cleveland area and was arrested Sunday. FBI Special Agent Stephen Anthony says Pitts scouted out locations this past week for a site to attack in downtown Cleveland. Anthony says it’s not clear how close Pitts was to carrying out his threats, but he says authorities couldn’t sit back and wait.)

— New perk in the HR arsenal: An on-site DePaul MBA – LYNNE MAREK (DIERSEN: I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates at IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997 always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate courses that I took 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. To keep their jobs and to get promoted, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on getting rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20180629/ISSUE01/180629833
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago companies in cutthroat competition for employees are dangling another perk: on-site MBA programs, courtesy of DePaul University. Walgreens Boots Alliance, Northern Trust and the parent of Blue Cross & Blue Shield are among employers that have paired with DePaul to offer discounted graduate programs—minus the after-work rush to campus. This is a “carrot” that companies can offer, says Suzanne Depeder, associate vice president for enrollment, management and marketing at DePaul. “As the economy has heated up, so does the job market, so companies are looking at ways of attracting and retaining their talent,” she says. It’s a plus for universities, too, especially those like DePaul facing enrollment and revenue declines. While many schools have tried on-site executive education, DePaul’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business has been more successful than most, attracting nearly 1,000 students and millions in company-subsidized tuition dollars since starting in 2013. Still, there’s a push-pull in such partnerships, and they don’t always survive. DePaul, the largest Catholic university in the U.S., with a total student headcount of nearly 23,000, saw its graduate schools gain students last year, even as its overall enrollment continued a six-year decline. DePaul cut 62 employees, or 3.5 percent of its nonfaculty staff, in June to “better position the university for the future,” it said. The Master of Business Administration is considered a must by many corporate climbers, and their employers often foot a portion of the cost. Eighty-five percent of U.S. employers plan to hire MBAs this year, down from 91 percent last year, according to survey results released in June by the Graduate Management Admission Council. The decline reflects more students seeking related, specialized master’s degrees in subjects like data science and computer engineering. Since DePaul launched its on-site Corporate Employer Outreach, or CEO, program, it has produced 421 graduates. An additional 374 are enrolled now, plus 155 coming this fall, Depeder says. An MBA from DePaul costs about $76,000, but the cost varies for on-site corporate cohorts, depending on the number of students, she says. Companies hosting DePaul’s program can tailor it to their business needs and knit together workers from disparate parts of their businesses. Employees miss out on networking with peers at other companies, but that might not be a bad thing in terms of retention.)

— The Teachers’ Retirement System’s $100,000 Club – ADAM ANDRZEJEWSKI (DIERSEN: When did you start earning $100,000-a-year in to today’s dollars (GS-13 Step 3)? I did in 1988 when I was 40 years old. By then, I had worked for GAO for almost 9 years, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, I had become a licensed CPA in 1981, I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

BREITBART
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Federal Government Resources Used to Promote LGBT Pride – Penny Starr (DIERSEN: Democrats continue to run the federal government. To be a Democrat is to promote LGBTQ activity.)
https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/01/federal-government-resources-used-promote-lgbt-pride/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Breitbart News tracked down some of LGBT Pride Month events across federal agencies, including National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Veterans Administration (VA), Library of Congress (LOC) and, the National Park Service (NPS): — The VA decided the best way to make sure veterans in the LGBT community feel comfortable seeking medical care was to put on a drag show, which traditionally is a parade of men dressing in women’s clothing and make-up. National Public Radio (NPR) reported the VA was taking a “particularly fabulous approach” for its Pride Month event, organized by the White River Junction VA Medical Center in Vermont. “Welcome to the gayest show on Earth,” the MC said to open the show in NPR’s report. “But first, I just have to say the VA is here for its queers, and we are proud to serve all veterans,” the MC said. — The CIA celebration was extensive and overseen in Washington, DC, by its new director, Gina Haspel, according to its website: During our keynote event held at CIA Headquarters the first week of June, Director Haspel introduced Major General (MG) Tammy Smith, the highest ranking and first openly gay general in US history. Director Haspel described MG Smith, saying, “She refused to give in to discrimination, stayed riveted on her goals, and proceeded to blaze a trail that will go down in the history books. Today, Major General Smith is widely recognized as a pioneer in helping LGBT men and women to fully contribute—and fully belong—to the Army family.” This event is one of several CIA activities celebrating Pride Month, including participation in the Capital DC Pride Festival and the 7th annual IC Pride Summit, of which CIA was a founder. — The LOC said its collection of works by and about the LGBT community makes it a year-round celebration but in June the library featured discussions with authors who wrote books about homosexual romance. “The library’s month-long celebration demonstrates how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans have strengthened our country, by using their talent and creativity to help create awareness and goodwill,” the LOC website states. — NASA joined the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade in June and also had a booth. A description of the event said: Please, stop by and say hello, take some funky photos using our infrared camera station. Learn about the autonomous helicopter that will soon be exploring the Red Planet, provided by our Aeromechanics division. Take a dive into a brilliant coral reef, brought to you by the Earth Science division. Get up close and personal with some flies and much more from our folks in the Biosciences division. Do not forget to grab a swag bag while supplies last. — The National Park Service has a striking photograph on its website of NPS employees — federal employees — marching with rainbow flags and celebrating the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City that was the scene of a violent clash between patrons and police in 1969 that is credited with starting the “gay rights movement” and was made a national historic monument during the Obama administration. This year NPS, according to a blog on its website, is already looking forward to next year’s Pride Month: June is Pride Month, and while Stonewall National Monument shares the unforgettable story of the 1969 riots year-round, this year kicks off a special countdown to World Pride in 2019. This annual event, which will be hosted by New York City in 2019, is the largest global Pride celebration. It will mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and its pivotal role as the birthplace of the modern lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer civil rights movement.)

In my precinct, in the 2016 general election, 211 voted for Clinton, while only 137 voted for Trump. In the 2016 primary election, 93 voted for Kasich, while only 21 voted for Trump.

http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/38548029/volkswagen-worker-60-files-age-discrimination-case-against-automaker
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 60-year-old employee at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga auto plant has filed a class-action lawsuit in which he contends the company is using a rebranding effort to discriminate against workers once they turn 50. The law firm that filed the lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court said the named plaintiff is Jonathan Manlove of Ooltewah, who is a former supervisor at the Chattanooga plant. Attorney Kevin Sharp said the company is trying to change its image to a “younger, sleeker company” after an emissions scandal that has rocked VW since 2015. The law firm said the company announced it was “becoming slimmer, leaner and younger” just before Manlove was demoted last year. The firm said he has sought other positions but has been rebuffed. Volkswagen spokesman Keith King said the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation.)

— Amazon Workers Facing Firing Can Appeal to a Jury of Their Co-Workers The hearing process has raised questions about fairness, according to workers and their attorneys. – Spencer Soper (DIERSEN: What would a jury of your co-workers be like? While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all of my co-workers disapproved of those who were conservative, Republican, draft avoiders, older, Protestant, and/or German American.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-25/amazon-workers-facing-firing-can-appeal-to-a-jury-of-their-co-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jane was working in Amazon.com Inc.’s Seattle headquarters when she was asked to a meeting with her manager and a human resources representative. They gave her a document outlining concerns about her work performance and spelled out three choices. She could quit and receive severance pay, spend the next several weeks trying to keep her job by meeting certain performance goals, or square off with her manager in a videoconference version of the Thunderdome, pleading her case with a panel of co-workers while her boss argued against her. Jane, who asked that her real name not be used to discuss a personal matter, chose the last one. The employee appeal process is Amazon’s latest experiment in managing its growing workforce of more than 500,000. When it announced the program last year, Amazon acknowledged it had been quick to fire people instead of trying to resolve problems in other ways. Executives recognized that poorly defined roles, dysfunctional teams, and peremptory managers were among the factors that often remained unexamined, according to a person familiar with the matter. Workers facing termination also lacked a forum to discuss such factors, the person says. Amazon is borrowing a page from union grievance processes that don’t apply to most corporate employees. But only about 30 percent of those who appeal their manager’s criticisms prevail, meaning they can keep their jobs or seek new ones within the company with different bosses, according to people familiar with the matter. Eighteen months after its debut, the hearing process has created resentment and raised questions about fairness, according to current and former workers as well as attorneys familiar with their situations. “It’s a kangaroo court,” says George Tamblyn, a Seattle employment lawyer who helped one former Amazon worker plan her appeal earlier this year. “My impression of the process is it’s totally unfair.”)

http://www.daily-chronicle.com/2018/06/29/thumbs-up-thumbs-down-community-rallies-behind-family-of-ailing-police-officer/aslzezk/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Documents obtained by The Associated Press this week showed that Timothy Mapes, former chief of staff for House Speaker Michael Madigan and state Democratic Party executive director, will receive more than $130,000 after resigning June 6. The money is compensation for 91 unused vacation days and half-pay for 146 sick days, the records showed. Mapes also will receive an annual pension of $134,000, which will increase each year. Mapes, on the job since 1992, earned $208,000 a year until he was forced out in a sexual harassment scandal. It’s another example of the sweet deals insiders secure for themselves at the expense of the public.)

They all agree that the federal government should get rid of its non-veteran White male employees who do not make 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. They all agree that that federal government should be and is the employer of last resort, that is, the dumping ground for those who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

CONSERVATIVE REVIEW
— Do border states have the power to repel illegal entry? – Daniel Horowitz (DIERSEN: Constructively, Mexico and its allies have declared war on America a) by their sending many millions of their citizens into America illegally, b) by their keeping many millions of their citizens in America illegally, and c) by their sending many mountains of illegal drugs into America illegally. By their words and by their actions, each and every one of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have made it clear that they side with Mexico and its allies against America.)
https://www.conservativereview.com/news/do-border-states-have-the-power-to-repel-illegal-entry/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During an era of ever-evolving and newly discovered rights, we forget that sovereignty, both federal and state, is an absolute right that is being ignored in the immigration debate. We have the right, both as residents of states, particularly at the border, and as citizens of this federal republic, to be governed by our consent and to admit people to this country only through the consent of our laws. We’ve already explained that it is a founding principle that a president has the power and the responsibility to repel a large-scale incursion into our country. A state has a similar responsibility when it is experiencing an invasion and the federal government refuses to act. The entire purpose of a federal government What if our own federal government is impotent in protecting our border states from violent drug cartels and the crime, social ills, and public cost drain of mass migration from across the border, while the federal courts are downright preventing the states from protecting themselves? The Constitution is clear as to the responsibilities of the federal government and why we have one in the first place. The federal government exists not to impose more regulations on the people, but to protect their rights and security where states are inherently incapable of doing so effectively — namely, in repelling an invasion. Ironically, it is the one act of war a president can pursue without the consent of Congress, yet the invasion at our border is the only one we refuse to address. Article IV, §4 of the Constitution tasks the federal government with guaranteeing states’ protection against invasion. That is because, in the words of Madison (Federalist #45), the “few and defined” powers of the federal government were to be applied “principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce.” State governments, on the other hand, deal with “the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” This is war But what if an outside force buttressed by the most dangerous paramilitary organizations in the world invades a border state and disrupts its internal order, improvement, and prosperity – and the federal government doesn’t stop it? Well, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Article I, § 10, cl. 3 (the Compact Clause) states: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” The Constitution is clear that, all things equal, states shouldn’t engage in warfare with other countries. But all things are not equal in this case, and the Constitution made an exception for those times when states are invaded and in imminent danger. Well, is this really an invasion or imminent danger, you might ask? Andy McCarthy wrote an incisive column yesterday reminding us that we are looking at the immigration issue through the wrong lens. We view it as a legal problem, when in essence it’s a national security problem. Just consider the crime statistics in Texas alone since 2011: According to the DHS and the Texas Department of Public Safety, over 251,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011, and April 30, 2018. They have been charged for a total of 663,000 offenses, including: . . . And those numbers only include those illegals verified by federal authorities through fingerprints. Roughly 50 percent, and often the most dangerous ones, are never interdicted by federal authorities before they commit murder and mayhem in Texas. Where is this coming from? It’s not a natural disaster. It’s coming from a concerted and organized massed migration completely orchestrated by the drug cartels, often with the help of the Mexican government. Click through to my tweetstorm quoting the Texas DPS explaining the results of the first Central American migration in 2014-2015: . . . As these quotes show, this is not some sort of legal problem with immigration loopholes, but our biggest current threat to our national security and homeland. These are often former Mexican military, in the case of the Zetas cartel, who now hold territory on Texas soil and use military tactics to divert the border patrol with bogus asylum seekers and bring in drugs, crime, and gangs. If this is not an invasion or an imminent danger, I’m not sure what is. I don’t think our Founders could have imagined such a colossal human and monetary toll from massive migration. Even without the military and drug cartel side of this, just the sheer wave of impoverished and often troubled migrants, of which over 90 percent turn out to be invalid asylum claims, should be enough to constitute an invasion. As Andy McCarthy rightfully observes, “If you look at federal asylum law, it addresses the individual migrant, not a systemic incursion. … It does not address what could happen if thousands of migrants simultaneously seek asylum.” States retain their sovereignty over violent incursions Amazingly, the political class questions even the president’s ability to repel the invasion without lawfare, but in reality, even a state, particularly Texas, should be able to do so. I’m not suggesting that the governor direct the Texas Air National Guard to drop bombs on the cartels, but the state would be well within its rights to start returning some of the migrants across the border. Joseph Story in his commentary on the Compact Clause writes that while the prohibition on states making war is obviously necessary, it was “wisely guarded by exceptions sufficient for the safety of the states, and not justly open to the objection of being dangerous to the Union.” Still, a state may be so situated, that it may become indispensable to possess military forces, to resist an expected invasion, or insurrection. The danger may be too imminent for delay; and under such circumstances, a state will have a right to raise troops for its own safety, even without the consent of Congress. Haven’t the border states (the ones that still care) waited long enough with too much delay? Some might suggest that this is not a declared war. But if you look at the original language of Article IV’s guarantee clause protecting states from invasion, Madison originally drafted its language to be read as protecting against “foreign violence.” It’s clear that this was not necessarily referring to formal warfare with a nation-state, but repelling violent incursions from Indian tribes. When the drug cartels use families and children to distract from the core of the invasion, the cartels are no different from Hamas using human shields at the Gaza-Israel border. Israel rightfully treats this as a military issue, and our government should too. If it fails to do so, the drug cartels should be on the receiving end of what happens when you mess with Texas. As Scalia asked: “Are the sovereign States at the mercy of the Federal Executive’s refusal to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws? A good way of answering that question is to ask: Would the States conceivably have entered into the Union if the Constitution itself contained the Court’s holding?”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “First, it’s morally wrong and I think it’s really harmful to the party. The guy’s a complete nutcase. He’s a Nazi,” said conservative GOP state Rep. David McSweeney. “This is an absolute political disaster.” . . . In the meantime, Republicans have one last chance to save face. They can mount a write-in challenge if that candidate notifies three counties in the district of their intent by Sept. 6. “They didn’t run anyone against him in the primary. They didn’t file an objection to him, they didn’t find a write-in candidate and they didn’t run an independent candidate,” McSweeney said. “We’ve missed four opportunities. We better not miss the fifth.”)

Consequently, GAO gave performance bonuses to its employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who made the aforesaid promotions.)
https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/the-dark-side-of-performance-bonuses
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Companies continually test ways to incent employees to perform more effectively, often turning to worker-motivation tools such as bonuses, “up or out” employee ranking tournaments, and employee of the month rewards. Behavioral scientists warn that these programs, if not constructed carefully, can open a box full of unintended consequences that ultimately harm rather than help the organization. The financial crisis of 2008 was partially fueled by origination bonuses paid to bank loan officers who were incented to approve bad loans. Less well understood, but uncovered in HBS research several years ago, is that those bank bonuses also caused loan officers to perceive reality differently—they believed those loans would succeed. It’s not just financial incentives that are under study. Employers seek to change the behavior of workers in all manner of ways: to make more ethical decisions, to get flu shots, to lose weight, to be wiser about personal financial planning. Behavioral scientists are becoming the new HR superstars in some organizations. Research through the years at Harvard Business School has explored this good intentions-bad outcomes dilemma in many settings, from the glitzy world of Las Vegas to steamy laundry plants in Asia. The results these studies have uncovered are important to understand for org designers, compensation committees, and any function such as sales that depends on incentives to drive performance. Here is a sample of research from HBS into the dark side of employee motivation programs:)

ANSWER: Bill Brady supporters. QUESTION: What did those Bill Brady supporters use to justify their actions? ANSWER: I included a link in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email to an article by Tom Roeser in the Chicago Sun-Times that called for Bill Brady to withdraw so that the conservative vote would not be split and Jim Oberweis could defeat Judy Baar Topinka in the 2006 Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary. Topinka got 38% of the vote in that primary, Oberweis got 32%, and Brady got 18%. Brady supporters have always a) painted me as being an operative or a dupe for Oberweis and b) blamed me for Brady’s past, present, and future problems.)

GOVERNOR RAUNER
— A beautiful Sunday to celebrate Pride Day in Chicago! (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the future looks bleak for those who support the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. To promote LGBTQ activity is to dump those voters who support the traditional family plank in the IRP platform. To promote abortion is to dump those voters who support the right to life plank in the IRP platform. To promote illegal immigration is to dump those voters who support the immigration plank in the IRP platform. Ever-increasingly, Rauner seems to promise that if he is reelected, he will drive those who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP once and for all, that is, that he will destroy the IRP once and for all. If Rauner is reelected, he will dump those who support the aforesaid planks. If Rauner is not reelected, he will blame those who support the aforesaid planks.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-abortion-medicaid-taxpayer-funded-illinois-20180523-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner outraged his party’s conservative base by signing the legislation in September. Then in the March primary he narrowly defeated challenger Jeanne Ives, a state lawmaker whose televised campaign ad featured a young woman thanking the governor “for making all Illinois families pay for my abortions.” Anti-abortion organizations along with some Republican lawmakers sued to block the measure and, after a judge dismissed their case, appealed to the Illinois State Supreme Court in February. The suit is pending. “The fact that the government is using taxpayer money to fund abortion is reprehensible to me,” said Tim Moore, president of Springfield Right to Life, one of the plaintiffs. “I’m subsidizing an immoral act. I’m subsidizing the culture of death. The government, which is supposed to protect life, is willfully taking part in the slaughter of innocents.”)

— Where is the Republican primary strength in your township? It definitely is in the west side of DuPage County’s Milton Township. In the March 20, 2018 Republican primary, of the township’s 130 precincts, of its 73 precincts on its west side, 40 were RED (between 35.5% and 17.8% of registered voters cast Republican ballots), 19 were YELLOW (between 17.6% and 13.2%), and 14 were BLUE (between 13.2% and 1.1%). Of its 57 precincts on its east side, only 3 were RED (between 35.5% and 17.8%), 25 were YELLOW (between 17.6% and 13.2%), and 29 were BLUE (between 13.2% and 1.1%). – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD

For me, it would include knowing that my neighbors would be anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. What percent of those in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? In my precinct, in the 2016 general election, 211 voted for Clinton while only 137 voted for Trump. In the 2016 primary election, 93 voted for Kasich while only 21 voted for Trump. However, in the March 20 primary election, 68 voted for Ives, while only 43 voted for Rauner, and only 15 of Milton Township’s 130 precincts had a higher percentage Republican turnout – 122 (22.2%) of the precinct’s 504 registered voters cast Republican ballots. Further, the precincts to the east, southeast, southwest, and west all had high Republican turnouts in the March 20 primary election. Jeanne Ive’s Precinct 65 to the east had a 24.9% turnout, Robert Jacobsen’s Precinct 25 where Roskam lives to the southeast had a 24.1% Republican turnout, Beth Tatro’s Precinct 130 to the southwest had a 33.5% Republican turnout, and Ron Menna’s Precinct 85 to the west had a 21.8% Republican turnout.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: That was made clear during last weekend’s Republican Party of Iowa state convention, attended by roughly 1,200 party activists, leaders and elected officials. State party chairman Jeff Kaufmann devoted much of his remarks to the campaign for governor, but also rallied the crowd to express their support for the president. Kaufmann asked the crowd to show whether they support Trump, and nearly everyone in the building stood and cheered. “Keep it up, President Trump,” Kaufmann yelled during his typically fiery speech. Kaufmann told the crowd he realizes some of Trump’s tweets “make you pause,” but said Trump must use Twitter to communicate to his supporters.)

— Trump Valiantly Tried to Save America – Ilana Mercer
https://townhall.com/columnists/ilanamercer/2018/06/23/trump-valiantly-tried-to-save-america-n2493448
(FROM THE ARTICLE: By now most Americans, for or against, get the idea. All an individual or family need do to live in America, and off the avails of the American taxpayer, is to arrive at an approved port of entry and “lodge a legal claim to stay.” That’s it. The same understanding animates an entire, parasitical industry that has arisen to coach the claimants in their claims-making. The refugee and illegal-migrant racket sprung-up on the backs of the American people is Third World cronyism at its best. “The Trump administration plans to pay a Texas nonprofit nearly half a billion dollars, this year, to care for immigrant children who were detained crossing the U.S. border illegally, reports Bloomberg.” Did you vote for that? Brazen border-crossers “rarely hide from border agents,” for they know the rules of the game are that there aren’t any rules. Not for them, not for the lawless. The law-abiding pay. The profits from the immigration industry, material and political, are privatized; the costs are socialized. It has taken a president, in the person of Donald J. Trump, and his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, to expose for all to see a shameful, likely irreversible, fact: American birthright has been frittered away for a mess of pottage. In exchange for throwing America open to The World, Americans get crime, poverty, unemployment, depressed wages; environmental despoliation; overburdened public services, and zero comity and harmony across their communities. Or, more like hate. For to oppose this transformative political give-away is to be branded a hater and be hounded, at home, by a Fifth Column of values-enforcers. There’s no finessing it. This selling of the patrimony and heritage of Americans is theft, plain and simple. There is no hiding it. Peddling of stolen goods for political favors is the handiwork of political representatives, of legislators. Through legislative sleight-of-hand and international treaty making American politicians have incrementally robbed a people of their national and territorial sovereignty, as well as their shared identity.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Republicans ignore Trump, keep pushing to pass immigration reform – Susan Ferrechio (DIERSEN: If you claim to be a Republican, but you oppose E-Verify, you shout that you are a RINO who has been bought off by employers who want cheap labor. If you claim to be Republican, but you want “a more inclusive and easier pathway to citizenship for Dreamers,” you shout that you are a Democrat.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/republicans-ignore-trump-keep-pushing-to-pass-immigration-reform
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans say negotiations now center on whether to add E-Verify and an immigrant agriculture program into the legislation, and many are hoping for a vote next week. Many conservatives have been clamoring for the bill to include a provision mandating employers use E-Verify to ensure new hires are legal. “It might be a difference maker,” Cole said. Meanwhile, an agriculture or “guest worker” program would attract votes from lawmakers whose districts rely on immigrant farm workers. . .The 41 GOP “no” votes were cast mostly by moderates who wanted a more inclusive and easier pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, who came illegally as children. The measure was authored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. It would provide legal status for about 700,000 Dreamers and offered a much more difficult pathway to citizenship. Conservatives say the leadership should simply take the Goodlatte bill and make a few changes to attract moderates, such as expanding the pathway to citizenship to all 1.8 million people who fit the Dreamer category. The Goodlatte measure, which is co-authored by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, includes both E-Verify and a guest worker program. It ends chain migration, the diversity visa lottery program, and authorizes border wall funding.)

— MAY 14, 2018 FLASHBACK: Fewer Americans Renounce Citizenship – Robert W. Wood (DIERSEN: All those who are in America illegally are citizens of foreign countries. Those who refuse to renounce their citizenship show that they are in America a) to take advantage of America’s generous welfare and preference giving policies, b) to “make money” so that they can return to their motherland and “live like kings,” c) to “turn America into their motherland,” and/or d) to destroy America. None of my ancestors came to America for any of the aforesaid reasons.)

BROOKINGS
— U.S. White population declines – William H. Frey (DIERSEN: Of course, anti-Whites are overjoyed. What do you say to Whites a) who paint themselves as being anti-White, b) who pander to anti-Whites, c) who demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things, and d) promote hatred of Whites? Anti-Whites demonize, denigrate, and condemn individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2018/06/21/us-white-population-declines-and-generation-z-plus-is-minority-white-census-shows/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: he U.S. Census Bureau’s release of race and age statistics for 2017 points to two noteworthy milestones about the nation’s increasingly aging white and growing diverse population. First, for the first time since the Census Bureau has released these annual statistics, they show an absolute decline in the nation’s white non-Hispanic population—accelerating a phenomenon that was not projected to occur until the next decade. Second, the new numbers show that for the first time there are more children who are minorities than who are white, at every age from zero to nine. This means we are on the cusp of seeing the first minority white generation, born in 2007 and later, which perhaps we can dub Generation “Z-Plus.”)

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION
— Rauner Asked if He Was Getting Ives Endorsement… 93 Days after Primary (DIERSEN: To promote LGBTQ activity is to a) reject those who voted for Ives and b) pander to those who will never vote for a Republican. Ever-increasingly, Rauner is running as an anti-Republican.)
https://democraticgovernors.org/news/rauner-asked-if-he-was-getting-ives-endorsement-93-days-after-primary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yesterday, Governor Bruce Rauner appeared on WJBC and was asked, “How important would an endorsement from Jeanne Ives be for you?” That’s right. It’s been more than three months since the primary, and just when candidates want to turn their attention to the general election, Rauner is still dealing with his fractured party. On WJBC, Rauner once again claimed he’s “reached out” to Ives, something he’s said before that was found not to be true. Who else is Rauner calling to reunite the party? None other than Rauner’s previous headache and Roy Moore’s biggest backer, Dick Uihlein. “It seems that time doesn’t heal all wounds as Bruce Rauner has failed to put his party back together after three months,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “It’s clear Jeanne Ives and her supporters have not forgiven Rauner for his lies and failures.”)
