POLITICO ILLINOIS
— ANGRY IVES weighs in on toilet scandal – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/10/04/angry-ives-weighs-in-on-toilet-scandal-atty-gen-to-investigate-rauner-pugilism-in-govs-debate-321268
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hold everything. Jeanne Ives just weighed in on the governor’s race and boy is she mad. The state rep who lost to Gov. Bruce Rauner in a bitter GOP primary wants the Illinois Department of Revenue to investigate how Democrat J.B. Pritzker got a tax break by pulling toilets out of his second home, thus lowering the property value. Is this a gift to Rauner? Nope. Ives hasn’t even talked to the governor. “This is my hot-button issue,” Ives told POLITICO. “It sticks in my craw big-time. Who does that? M.K. grew up in South Dakota, the same state I did,” Ives said, referring to Pritzker’s wife. “No one does this. I don’t know where she learned these kinds of shenanigans. But normal people don’t do it. I’m angry. You don’t cheat this way. If the damned Democrats don’t prosecute this, then why would anyone stay in this state just to be treated unfairly by the political ruling class.” Hiding property wealth, says Ives, just shortchanges schools and leaves taxpayers holding the bag. Pritzker has maintained the toilets were pulled as part of a renovation project, but Ives doesn’t buy it. She’s been studying property-tax fairness for years—even talked to Rauner about legislation address how property values are assessed in Illinois. “He never took it up.” The conservative darling’s re-entry into the political fray could help advance Rauner’s case. But Rauner also has his own investigation to worry about. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called for a criminal probe into Rauner’s handling of the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at the Quincy veterans’ home. “We are investigating whether any laws were violated in the response to the risks of an outbreak of Legionella at the Quincy veterans’ home, where many people died,” Madigan spokeswoman Maura Possley said in a statement.)

— Rauner calls Pritzker ‘trust fund baby’ at governor debate – TAHMAN BRADLEY (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes call you? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always called me undeservedly filthy rich. It all started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. They would not have demonized me, denigrated me, or condemned me as being rich if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Controversy surrounds highest paid Illinois school superintendent Troy Paraday – Dane Placko (DIERSEN: Does controversy surround you? Are/were you accused of being overpaid? My GAO salary in 1997 was $125,325 in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $51,864. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, 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.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/controversy-surrounds-highest-paid-illinois-school-superintendent
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They say money’s tight at the small district, comprised of three schools and 1,100 students. Except for Superintendent Paraday, who this year will earn a salary of $309,000. But that’s not all. Paraday’s contract also calls for a car allowance, insurance benefits, retirement annuity and other goodies driving up his annual compensation to $407,000 — the highest of any Illinois school superintendent. And that’s not all. When Paraday retires on October 31st, Calumet City taxpayers will be handing him a big Halloween treat. “Open the Books” and FOX 32 found a clause in Paraday’s contract that allows him to collect cash for unused time off. Since 2005, he’s accumulated 567 days of unused vacation, sick time and personal days. Based on Paraday’s current salary, he’ll cash those days in for more than $762,000.)

If Rauner wins or loses, the Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who dominate the IRP will a) dump Trump supporters, b) dump the aforesaid planks in the IRP platform, c) banish Republicans from the IRP once and for all, and d) abolish the IRP.)

Brady could transfer that money to Republican senators and candidates. His fund began July with $781,000 in cash on hand and raised another $354,500 in donations of more than $1,000 through the end of September. Brady also chairs the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee fund. Neither of the two funds has received money from Rauner, who has given to House Republican campaign efforts. – Rick Pearson

CHICAGO BUSINESS JOURNAL
— OPPOSITION RESEARCH: DuPage County Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, To Host Free October 6th Inaugural “Get out the Vote Concert” at DuPage County Fairgrounds to Increase Voter Turnout and Introduce Voters to Candidates
https://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/businesswire/press_releases/Illinois/2018/09/21/20180921005553
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180921005553/en/
(FROM THE PROMOTION: Statewide Candidates Including JB Pritzker and Kwame Raoul and Democratic Candidates in DuPage County to Attend News Highlights Entertainment by Award Winning Musicians, Orbert Davis of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Jazz Vocalist of the Year Tammy McCann, and Ralph Covert of The Bad Examples and Ralph’s World. Several delicious food trucks by Chicagoland’s best including Mario Cart’s Race to the Taste. The Beer Cellar from Glen Ellyn will be on hand to sell fresh, local craft beer from Illinois. Family-friendly activities which include a mock voting event for children, with voting booths, ballots and stickers; seasonal activities for children, including: face painting, pumpkin painting and balloon artists and photo booth. Help Lynn Win, the organization supporting DuPage County Board Chairman Candidate, Lynn LaPlante, is hosting a free “Get Out The Vote Concert” on Saturday, October 6 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds at 2015 Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL from 3PM to 7PM. For the very first time, constituents in DuPage County will have a chance to hear from the largest gathering of Democratic candidates in the state. Ms. LaPlante commented, “This is a watershed event in an historically red DuPage County. We have never had a full Democratic ballot for voters to choose from before. Currently, there is one Democrat out of nineteen County Board Members. A Democrat or a woman has never held the office of Chairman in the history of DuPage County—179 years! It is time to change that. For the first time in its history, voters will be able to hear from and meet a full ballot of inspiring Democratic candidates, from the judges at bottom of the ballot to gubernatorial candidates at the top. Many of the candidates attending the event, including JB Pritzker, are first time candidates like me, following President Obama’s wise words that ‘change only happens when ordinary people get involved.”)

NBC NEWS
— Trump asks if Feinstein leaked allegation against Kavanaugh, says FBI probe may be ‘blessing in disguise’ The president told reporters he fully supported his Supreme Court nominee and said he has no backup plan to replace him. The allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh have reminded millions of Americans of the hard-drinking, hypersexualized “bro culture,” often associated with fraternities and prep schools. – Lauren Egan (DIERSEN: The “bro culture” did not attract me. I lived with my parents and brother while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I lived at University Plaza Dormitory for three semesters 1969-1970 and at Lincolnshire West Apartments for the 1970 summer session. I never even tried to join a fraternity.)

Ever-increasingly, far too many of the aforsaid promote identity politics, dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)
https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/how-to-make-a-political-contribution/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make sure you can afford to donate Determine which “bucket” of your budget this donation will come from, says Craig Israelsen, executive in residence in the Financial Planning Program at Utah Valley University. Some buckets are off limits, like those for housing payments or utilities. And pulling from retirement savings is “questionable” at best, he adds. (“Our retirement is on us — nobody else is really responsible for that.”) But the money “has to come from somewhere,” Israelsen says. So would you dip into to your clothing or restaurant budget and offset a $100 contribution by, say, not shopping or dining out for a month? Would you pull $300 from your travel funds and, in doing so, commit to driving to Mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner rather than flying? Pausing to reflect on what you’d have to give up for this donation will help you rank its importance among other expenses. Maybe you decide to keep the restaurant dinners and either skip the donation or give less than you’d intended. (More on the value of small donations later.) Or maybe this reflection affirms that, yes, this contribution is important enough to make a sacrifice. (And if this exercise is a real head-scratcher, consider it your cue to build or revisit your budget.))

September 29 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Who will the anti-Kavanaughs focus on destroying in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? Of course, the more demographics that you share with Kavanaugh, the more that they will do to destroy you. How many demographics do you share with Kavanaugh? Both Kavanaugh and I are Trump supporters, Christian, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, married, non-poor, and non-veteran. I assume that he is a gun owner and that his ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, I am not an attorney, let alone a judge. I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my ancestors came from what is now Germany. My wife and I are childless. None of my degrees are from Ivy League universities. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I graduated from a public co-ed high school. My participation in sports was all but ended by a bone disease. I did not display any kind of leadership potential in high school or college. My college majors were management, business, accounting, and finance. I never made any academic honor roles. I was never a member of a fraternity. While Kavanaugh lived in a “dilapidated group house” when he attended law school, I stayed at University Plaza Dormitory and Lincolnshire West Apartments while I attended NIU. While Democrats forced me into early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old, Republicans nominated Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 when he was 53 years old. While I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, Kavanaugh is not. While am a State Editor for www.GOPUSA.com, Kavanaugh is not. While Kavanaugh “serves as a lector at his Washington, D.C. church, the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. He has helped serve meals to the homeless as part of church programs, and has tutored at the Washington Jesuit Academy, a Catholic private school in the District of Columbia,”  I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. While “Kavanaugh’s reported salary as a federal judge is $220,600 and $27,000 as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $51,864 and my Social Security is only $2,064. – Dave Diersen

According to GAO (https://www.gao.gov/about/index.html), GAO “is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress” and it is often called the “congressional watchdog” and it supports congressional oversight by “investigating allegations of illegal and improper activities.”)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Which Illinois colleges receive the most federal student aid? (DIERSEN: I attended UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970. Because I did not seek any “student aid,” my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned me, my parents, my grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors as being undeservedly filthy rich.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511428300-which-illinois-colleges-receive-the-most-federal-student-aid
(FROM THE ARTICLE: University of Illinois at Chicago and City Colleges of Chicago-Harold Washington College reported receiving the most federal financial aid during the 2015-16 academic year among Illinois schools, according to a Higher Education Tribune analysis of federal data.)

— Rodney Davis’s bill making federal tax cuts permanent passes House, Senate vote uncertain – Cole Lauterbach and Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: The $10,000 SALT cap discourages marriage in Illinois and it discourages homeownership in Illinois.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If signed into law, it would also make the $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions permanent. That’s been a thorn in the side of high tax states like Illinois, but Tax Foundation analyst Nicole Kaeding says that tax reform as a whole is keeping more money in Illinois taxpayers’ pockets. “Every individual in every congressional district across the country is seeing a net tax cut this year, even with the SALT cap,” she said. Others with the Tax Foundation have called the SALT deduction poor fiscal policy that subsidizes high-earners in high-tax states.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— Dan Rather: If GOP Confirm Kavanaugh, They’re ‘Extinct’ Like the Dinosaurs – Nicholas Fondacaro (DIERSEN: How many demographics do you share with Kavanaugh? Both Kavanaugh and I are Trump supporters, Christian, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, married, non-poor, and non-veteran. I assume that he is a gun owner and that his ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, I am not an attorney, let alone a judge. I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my ancestors came from what is now Germany. My wife and I are childless. None of my degrees are from Ivy League universities. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I graduated from a public co-ed high school. My participation in sports was all but ended by a bone disease. I did not display any kind of leadership potential in high school or college. My college majors were management, business, accounting, and finance. I never made any academic honor roles. I was never a member of a fraternity. While Kavanaugh lived in a “dilapidated group house” when he attended law school, I stayed at University Plaza Dormitory and Lincolnshire West Apartments while I attended NIU. While Democrats forced me into early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old, Republicans nominated Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 when he was 53 years old. While I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, Kavanaugh is not. While am a State Editor for www.GOPUSA.com, Kavanaugh is not. While Kavanaugh “serves as a lector at his Washington, D.C. church, the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. He has helped serve meals to the homeless as part of church programs, and has tutored at the Washington Jesuit Academy, a Catholic private school in the District of Columbia,” I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. While “Kavanaugh’s reported salary as a federal judge is $220,600 and $27,000 as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $51,864 and my Social Security is only $2,064.)

Peter Roskam in the Chicago suburbs, Democrat Sean Casten has been honing in on Kavanaugh since his nomination in July, initially focusing on concerns that Kavanaugh might vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Decades ago, Roskam’s district was represented by Henry Hyde, the namesake of the Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for abortions. But the district’s complexion has shifted since Hyde’s time, and Casten has sought to capitalize on a growing pro-choice contingent. Casten has also used Kavanaugh’s nomination to criticize Roskam as a rubber stamp for the President; this week, the Casten campaign has promoted an ad on Facebook calling on Roskam to withdraw his support for the embattled nominee. But the dramatic hearing Thursday, including Ford’s tearful testimony, has upped the ante further. “I think it means we’re going to keep the pressure on (Roskam), that people should believe women,” said Greg Bales, Casten’s campaign manager. “She (Ford) showed incredible courage, and Peter Roskam doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Trump.” Roskam’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “This is an important issue,” Bales added, “and we’re going to continue bringing attention to it.”)

To meet the aforesaid quotas, goals, and targets, will Democrats encourage potential and current federal employees a) to change their race to minority and b) to change their gender to female?)

— Kavanaugh High-School Friend Mark Judge, a Potential Key to Many Questions, Is Absent Writer has refused to appear for hearing, and says he doesn’t remember events Christine Blasey Ford alleges – Alex Leary and Siobhan Hughes (DIERSEN: What did you do during the summer before your senior year in high school? I worked full-time for the minimum wage for S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights either washing dishes or doing stock boy work. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I drove a 1958 Chevy BelAir. I saved all the money that I could to buy a new car to use to commute to classes at UIC the next year.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/kavanaugh-high-school-friend-mark-judge-a-potential-key-to-many-questions-is-absent-1538089901
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his book, Mr. Judge wrote of being “completely hooked” on alcohol the summer before his senior year, a disorder that he wrote he brought to his job bagging groceries at the local supermarket. “Invariably I would be hungover—or still drunk—when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together.” Mr. Judge graduated high school in 1983, which would have made 1982 the summer before his senior year. That is the same year that Dr. Ford has suspected the alleged attack may have occurred, although she said she could better pinpoint the time frame if she knew when Mr. Judge was working at a local Safeway grocery store, where she ran into him.)
— New Laws Aim to Make Work Hours More Predictable Research indicates regular schedules benefit staffers’ well-being; complications for employers – Rachel Feintzeig (DIERSEN: While I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I was “on call” 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Frequently, I was called in to work because my coworkers had called in sick or just failed to show up for work. Even though I would have available to work every Friday, every Saturday, every Sunday, every Monday, every holiday, and every day that NIU would not be in session, my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 saying that I would not be available to work enough days. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have filed a grievance to keep my job. But my Democrat superiors were doing everything that they could to make the Park Forest Post Office a “hostile workplace” for me. They stressed that I was avoiding the draft by seeking and obtaining student draft deferments. Virtually all my coworkers, supervisors, and superiors were veterans.)

Firestone Stores did not make me a counteroffer when Oldsmobile offered me a job in early 1971 when I was 22 years old. My Firestone Stores boss did not approve of my demographics, especially my being Republican, a draft avoider, 100% German national origin, and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Nevertheless, he did let me work part-time for him until the end of 1972.)
