— New ICE director in Chicago criticizes the city’s sanctuary ordinance. But Mayor Lightfoot shows up and calls his comments ‘nonsense.’ – ELVIA MALAGÓN and GREGORY PRATT (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they hate America and that they hate Americans.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-ice-chicago-immigration-santuary-cities-raids-20190926-ngmxwhe5fzb6jmbgwelfhppati-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Of course we know that we’ve hurt (ICE agents) and hurt their ability to do their job here in the city, but so be it,” Lightfoot told the crowd of protesters who gathered around her. “That’s the point.” Chicago’s sanctuary city ordinance bars police from giving federal ICE officials access to people in local custody. Among other things, it also prohibits on-duty police officers from talking with ICE officials before a person’s release, or allowing ICE agents to use local police facilities for investigations or interviews.)

WBEZ
— Chicago Owns America’s Widest Racial Gap In Economic Mobility – Esther Yoon-Ji Kang (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a minority in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a minority could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a minority in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted minorities in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a minority in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a minority in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a minority could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harvard economist Raj Chetty says that, for white Americans, achieving the American dream is like climbing an income ladder. “If you’ve climbed up in one generation, that’s basically where you’re going to start the next generation, and then you can climb up further.” But for black Americans, and black men in particular, “it’s like being on a treadmill, where even after you’ve climbed up in one generation, there are tremendous structural forces that make it highly likely you’re going to fall back down in the next generation and then you have to make the climb again.”)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Pot pushers say “Zero-tolerance policies may affect Rockford area employers’ ability to recruit workers.” What do you say to people who impair themselves? I would not want to work for, work with, or supervise people who impair themselves. Virtually all those who work against me impair themselves. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who impair themselves the most.

NBC NEWS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: “He definitely wants to curry favor with Trump.” I should write a book about those who curry favor with my critics/opponents by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning me.
