Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.)

USA TODAY
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Ancestry ethnicity tests getting more precise – Elizabeth Weise (DIERSEN: What is your national origin? 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 Swedish? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin. I should write a book about those of the aforesaid who are of German national origin themselves, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)

September 25 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Bruce Rauner says he’s a centrist while Republican, Democratic parties dominated by extremes – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Since at least 1977, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative extremists. These anti-conservative extremists reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the IRP platform. These anti-conservative extremists do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of the IRP, that is, they do everything that they can to destroy the IRP.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-illinois-governors-race-rauner-calls-himself-a-centrist-20180924-story.html
— Rauner reaching out to suburban women – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-attorney-general-editorial-board-meeting-20180924-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban women have been a critical factor in deciding special elections this year and, amid their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is reaching out in a new ad. The ad features Anne Wedner, a former backer of President Barack Obama, who is founder of Kent Road Strategies, who has worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns with a focus on the North Shore. Billing herself as a lifelong Democrat, Wedner touts her childhood support for the Equal Rights Amendment and her dissatisfaction with national politics — a distancing effort from Trump aimed at helping Rauner in the suburbs while he seeks Trump supporter backing Downstate. “Today, I’m not happy with Washington and I’m also heartbroken about Illinois,” she says. “We have to fix our financial problems and Bruce Rauner is the only candidate with the courage to do it,” she adds. Wedner goes on to say the election “isn’t about party politics. This is about saving our state.” The suburban collar counties voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton over Trump — except for McHenry County — in the 2016 presidential and there are GOP fears that moderate suburban women will be a major factor in Illinois’ November elections because of the controversial president. The ad can be viewed here.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Plus, 2.0 would make more cuts to the estate tax that’s paid by only about 5,000 wealthy families — while permanently capping the $10,000 SALT (state and local tax) deduction that millions of taxpayers use. There’s more, but you get the drift.)

WASHINGTON POST
— ‘I know his heart’: Ashley Estes Kavanaugh revives old-fashioned script in newfangled era – Isaac Stanley-Becker (DIERSEN: Are you married? I have been married for 40 years. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious when I got married in 1978. They had always painted me as being someone who so bad that no one would marry me. Many of them were never married, were divorced, had spouses who had little or no income, and/or had major marital problems.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/25/i-know-his-heart-ashley-estes-kavanaugh-revives-old-fashioned-script-in-newfangled-era/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting to save his Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh was joined by his wife Monday for a Fox News interview. Ashley Estes Kavanaugh is a town manager in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a former aide in George W. Bush’s White House, where she and Kavanaugh met. The interview was powerful proof that, even in the #MeToo moment, Wynette’s call to “show the world you love him” still carries weight, as it did for Clinton, even though she disparaged the song. The comparison is especially fitting given Kavanaugh’s role — as associate counsel in the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr — in proposing sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Asked by Fox’s Martha MacCallum whether she doubted her husband, the mother of two daughters replied, “No. I mean, I know Brett — I’ve known him for 17 years.” “And,” she continued, as her husband glanced sideways to look plaintively at her, “this is not at all characteristic. It’s really hard to believe. He’s decent. He’s kind. He’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with Brett.”)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-internet/china-shuts-thousands-of-websites-in-clean-up-campaign-xinhua-idUSKCN1M302F
(FROM THE ARTICLE: China has shut down more than 4,000 websites and online accounts in a three-month campaign against “harmful” online information, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday, citing the country’s illegal publication watchdog. China keeps the internet under tight control and has been cracking down on a range of illegal online activities including pornography, gambling, religious proselytizing and even “spreading rumors”. In a campaign that started in May, the authorities tackled 120 violations and ordered 230 firms to rectify irregularities. More than 147,000 pieces of harmful information were removed by the end of August, according to China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications. Xinhua said the campaign targeted content in online fiction that spread improper values, vulgarity and obscenity, as well as content that infringed on copyright. Authorities announced last week that they had busted a live-streaming pornography platform hosted in Cambodia and said to have more than 3.5 million registered users.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/business/brett-kavanaugh-yearbook-renate.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh’s page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the teenage years of the man who is now President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach. Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry: “Renate Alumnius.” The word “Renate” appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983 yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls’ school. Two of Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of the football players’ unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests. “They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” said Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge Kavanaugh and his teammates. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats crow about the success that Democrat teachers have in cranking out “good little Democrats.” What percent of public high school students are filled with hatred against those who 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?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-school-mock-elections-st-0919-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Students can be a harbinger for how the actual election might go. Becky Simon, president of the League of Women Voters of Naperville, said in past elections students have been accurate in picking the winners of the popular vote. Among the 14 percent of teens at the three local high schools who voted, Democrat J.B. Pritzker was favored by 62 percent of the nearly 1,200 teens who voted. Republican incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner came in second with 25 percent of the vote. In the 11th District Congressional race, incumbent Democrat Bill Foster led with 72 percent of the mock vote over Republican Nick Stella’s 28 percent. Democratic Secretary of State Jesse White, probably the most familiar candidate with teens because his name is on their driver’s licenses and driving permits, was the overwhelming vote-getter in all of the races, receiving 74 percent of the ballots cast. In the other races, the Democrats were on top with more than half of the teen vote.)

(ANTI-TRUMPS SAY: Illinois’s Sixth District The suburbs of Chicago were a base of the Republican Party before Mr. Trump. One need only visit a shopping mall in Burr Ridge or a youth baseball game in Barrington Hills to see throngs of the white, highly educated voters who are the electoral backbone of the area, and once voted solidly for presidential candidates like Mitt Romney. But if these voters have leaned right in the past, drawn to promises of lower taxes and smaller government, Mr. Trump has pitched many of them back in the other direction. In Illinois’s Sixth Congressional District, the president’s combustible persona and administration have put Republican candidates in dire peril. Jane Melvin, 55, said she has typically voted Republican in the past and still yearned for a version of the party that has been fading away. “If John Kasich was running in my district, I would vote for him,” said Ms. Melvin, referring to the right-of-center Ohio governor who routinely chides Mr. Trump. Ms. Melvin said she had long supported her congressman, Peter Roskam, but was reconsidering this year because Republicans had failed to check the president. “It’s a character question and a silence question,” she said. “Because they won’t stand up to Trump and say this is wrong.” Mr. Roskam, a former member of the House Republican leadership team, represents one of 21 seats where college-educated white suburbanites could upend the Republican majority in the House. Most of these seats, in relatively homogenous communities around cities like Minneapolis and Philadelphia, are seen as electoral toss-ups. In 2016, Mr. Roskam easily secured re-election by nearly 20 percentage points, but Mrs. Clinton carried the area in the presidential race by about seven points. A Times/Siena College poll found Mr. Roskam effectively tied with his Democratic challenger, Sean Casten, a clean-energy businessman. Mr. Casten has closed in on Mr. Roskam with help from voters like Karrie Sullivan, a former Roskam supporter who said she now favors divided government — both in Washington, where Republicans are in charge, and in Illinois, where Democrats may take full control of government in November. “It seems like the best situation is when neither party has complete control,” Ms. Sullivan said. Mr. Roskam, like other Republican candidates in similar wealthy suburbs, has tried to make the Republican tax overhaul an asset to his campaign. But many suburban voters have bristled at changes to federal deductions for state and local taxes. Highlighting the gulf between the Republican white-collar base and Mr. Trump’s hard-line following, candidates like Mr. Roskam have broken with Mr. Trump on critical issues like tariffs. Pursuing both wavering moderates and hard-core conservatives, Mr. Roskam said at a recent debate that he considered Mr. Trump’s performance “middling.” “Good on the economy, jumbling on other issues,” he said.)

They would focus on those who took the lead in ending my TAPROOT chairmanship, WCC Government Affairs Committee membership, MTRCC webmaster service, ICRC Steering Committee membership, AAPC Midwest Chapter board membership, GAO employment, etc. They would especially focus on those Republican candidates since 2000 who were on ballots in my precinct a) who blame me for their defeat or b) blame me for their not winning by a greater margin. They would especially focus on my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)

— DuPage County Election Commission sued for moving election district boundaries – JOHN KRAFT
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/09/dupage-county-election-commission-sued-for-moving-election-district-boundaries/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Complaint has been filed against the DuPage County Election Commission alleging the commission moved boundaries of one precinct and two legislative districts without proper authority to move the boundaries. It involved moving certain properties out of Naperville Township Precinct #25, the 49th Representative District, and the 25th Legislative District. Those properties were moved, without authority into Naperville Township Precinct #6, the 41st Representative District, and the 21st Legislative District. It seeks to have the commission reverse its move and ensure that residents of certain real estate within the county vote in the legislative districts that they are actually part of, based on the most recent approved map. It asks the Court to order the commission to distribute the correct ballots to the properties in question, and order the commission to refrain from delivering the wrong ballot to those properties, and complains of a violation of voter’s rights. Complaint (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Verified-Complaint-for-Injunction-FILED-4848-7192-1011.pdf) Exhibits (http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Exhibits-A-F-FILED.pdf) Candidate and incumbent State Representative Grant Wehrli is the Plaintiff. His attorney is Keri-Lyn Krafthefer of Ancel, Glink, Diamond, Bush, DiCianni & Krafthefer P.C. We understand there is a Hearing on the Complaint scheduled for September 19th in DuPage Circuit Court.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Kavanaugh allegation can’t be taken back – Rich Lowry
http://www.bostonherald.com/opinion/op_ed/2018/09/kavanaugh_allegation_can_t_be_taken_back
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Brett Kavanaugh, who the day before yesterday was an unimpeachable pillar of the legal establishment, stands accused of a heinous offense that is almost impossible to definitively rebut. Even if he is completely innocent of the charge that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl at a high school party 36 years ago, he will be forever considered guilty of it by some portion of the public. This is not due process, or any kind of decent process at all, but how the Senate conducts its business, especially if you are a conservative jurist on the cusp of confirmation to the Supreme Court. A 51-year-old research psychologist named Christine Blasey Ford went public with the accusation in a Washington Post interview over the weekend, saying she feared for her life when the teenage Kavanaugh attacked her. The charge was inevitably viewed through the prism of #MeToo. But it lacks the credibility of allegations that have felled powerful men over the past two years. There is no contemporaneous corroboration. There is no pattern of conduct on the part of Kavanaugh. There is no weaselly, “Well, I don’t remember it that way, but I’m sorry if she was offended” denial; Kavanaugh rejects the charge categorically. Contrast the allegations against, to take a Republican from another moral universe, the Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. A key accuser from decades ago told friends about her relationship with Moore at the time. There was more than one allegation — indeed, Moore had a reputation for unsavory interest in teenage girls. When he first reacted to the stories, Moore gave a mealy mouthed denial.)

 

TIME
— Colleagues Defend Brett Kavanaugh’s Accuser as a Person of Integrity – AP (DIERSEN: How many demographics do you share with Kavanaugh? Both Kavanaugh and I are old non-veteran White male conservative Republicans whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. While Kavanaugh is a federal employee, I am a retired federal employee. While Kavanaugh is Catholic, I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. While Kavanaugh is Irish national origin, I am German national origin. If you were accused of wrongdoing by a woman, who would defend your integrity? My accusers would hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “guilty as charged” if the following failed/refused to defend my integrity: a) past and present Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, etc. members; b) past and present GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. employees; c) defendants in lawsuits that I have filed; d) all the candidates who have been on Republican primary ballots in my precinct since 2000, e) etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Journal Star’s political column is going on hiatus, at least for now, because of the recent departure of co-author Chris Kaergard. We’ve enjoyed sharing Monday mornings with you. And Sunday nights, too, since the advent of the internet has allowed the column to appear there before it hits print. But part of us feels bad about leaving when perhaps this forum might be needed the most. We’ve endeavored to provide spin-less, nonpartisan analysis and commentary regarding local issues. We’ve also tried to pull back the curtain a bit to see how the political sausage is made — while wearing aprons, because that can be messy. As for what lies ahead, we’re not stepping off our soapbox entirely. The other half of this column the past five-plus years will continue to provide state-and-local political commentary from time to time. For that and plenty of other, more frivolous stuff, check Nick in the Morning most weekdays at pjstar.com. Some of those Nick in the Morning items also will appear in the Journal Star print edition, depending on interest and importance.)
