CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Take it from me — and my father — anti-white bias is not the problem – Alysia Tate  (DIERSEN: Who should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion?  According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, it should be those like me who are White, male, healthy, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German-American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, those who are not poor, and those who have no dependents. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45, a 2-door bottom of the line Chevy, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother was a housewife and homemaker.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170821/naperville-man-pitches-tighter-requirements-for-school-finance-officials
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bill Eagan, a former chief school business official for Hinsdale High School District 86, says the district’s top money manager should be a certified public accountant or certified management accountant. Along with that requirement, he says, the person in that job should report directly to the school board. Eagan, a CPA and CMA who comes from a corporate accounting and finance background, has met with three suburban state representatives who are on a House committee about licensing, administration and oversight for elementary and secondary education. He said increasing the financial literacy requirements to be a chief school business official, abbreviated in education circles as CSBO, will help school districts operate more efficiently and keep more of their money in the classroom.)

In 1976, Loyola changed its requirements so that those who had an undergraduate degree in business like I did only had to take 12 courses.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner tells reporters to not question wife’s role in the administration – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: When Republican elected officials act against the Republican Party platform, overwhelmingly, it is because that is what their wife wants them to do.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could say Gov. BRUCE RAUNER was not a happy man last week. A couple of media outlets filed open records requests to get emails sent by first lady DIANA RAUNER on a state email account. It was not a question of trying to get emails sent on a personal account. One reason was to determine if the first lady had a hand in all of the recent staff changes, as many suspect. Anyway, according to Politico, the request was denied citing two exemptions in the state’s open records law. One exempts communication with an attorney that would not be revealed in court, and the other covers preliminary drafts, notes and etc. If you’ve used the Freedom of Information Act, you know that the preliminary drafts exemption can be used to conceal a whole lot of stuff. The news outlets did stories about the denials on Tuesday. The whole thing seemed to be on the governor’s mind Tuesday afternoon when he did an availability at the fair. “Reporters have been calling asking if my wife has been very involved in the staff changes that have gone on in my office over the last month or two,” he said. “I think the inquiries, the questions themselves are pathetic. I think they are terrible. I think it just shows how desperate my political opponents are to try to attack my through attacking my wife. I think it’s disgusting.” He went on to say he decides who is on his senior staff. Remarkably, he wasn’t asked a question about the issue, he just launched into it at the end of the availability.)
— Sam McCann – Doug Finke
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The one Senate Republican who voted to override Rauner’s amendatory veto of the school funding bill was SAM McCANN of Plainview. It was not the first time McCann has voted against the wishes of the governor. Last week, Senate Republican Leader BILL BRADY of Bloomington was asked if McCann was still welcome in the Senate Republican caucus. “He’s a Republican. He’s welcome,” Brady said. “Everyone’s got to vote their district.” Brady said he was unhappy McCann didn’t give fellow Republicans a heads-up on how he would vote. But Brady was willing to forgive McCann if McCann thought he was voting how his constituents wanted. Their constituents are telling them to support the governor because as originally passed by the General Assembly, the education funding bill is a Chicago bailout that should be stopped. Wonder if McCann or his representatives have a better read on the district.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner facing pressure from Downstate Republicans to veto ‘very reasonable’ immigration bill – Monique Garcia and Kim Geiger  (DIERSEN: It certainly seems like Rauner’s advisors are saying to him that he has to dump the “conservative wing” of the Illinois Republican Party and pander to Libertarians to win in 2018. Libertarians want open borders, pot, and prostitution. It certainly seems like his advisors are saying to him that the more that he dumps on conservatives, that is, on Republicans, that is, on Trump supporters, the more votes that he will get in 2018 from voters who are Libertarian, anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors. But the aforesaid are going to vote for the Democrat gubernatorial candidate no matter what Rauner or Trump do.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-trust-act-met-20170819-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the governor also has faced intense lobbying in opposition from Republican Party’s conservative wing. . .The issue could figure into Rauner’s 2018 re-election bid, as the governor will need the support of Downstate voters, some of whom want to see immigration policy that cracks down on those who are in the country illegally. State Sen. Kyle McCarter, a Republican from Lebanon outside St. Louis, said that if Rauner does not veto the bill “this could be the last straw” for Downstate voters who have backed the governor. “There was a reason the president won so big in Downstate Illinois, this is one of those issues that we stood with the president on,” McCarter said. “I understand it’s a difficult decision for the governor to make, but he’s going to have to decide if this should be the priority, or meeting the basic needs of the legal citizens of Illinois.” McCarter said he has reached out to the governor’s chief of staff to encourage Rauner to veto the bill. “I think I can speak for downstate Illinois and most Trump supporters, this isn’t the direction that I want the country to go or the state to go,” he said. “We are a country founded by immigrants, but those were legal immigrants, and I think the last thing Illinois wants is to see a sanctuary state, and this moves us in that direction.” There are also concerns that the legislation could put Illinois crosswise with the federal government and in the crosshairs of the Trump administration’s attempted crack down on sanctuary cities. Also critical of the bill is Rep. John Cabello, a Republican of Mexican heritage who is a Rockford police detective and also co-chair of the Illinois Trump Victory fund. Cabello said the measure puts police in the position of choosing whether to uphold federal law or state law. “We can’t cherry pick which laws we are going to enforce, it doesn’t matter if this bill is signed into law or not, law enforcement will do what we have to do,” he said. “I think this bill is symbolic, no law enforcement officer is going to follow this bill.” The bill passed with mostly Democratic support. In the Senate, five Republicans voted for the Trust Act. In the House, only one Republican voted for the bill. Supporters of the legislation argue that it will help build trust between police and the immigrant community, and will give immigrants confidence that they can come forward to help police solve crimes without having to worry about being punished because of their immigration status. Cabello disputed that notion. “If people can’t trust law enforcement without this bill, they are not going to trust law enforcement with this bill,” he said.)

That was the best way, he figured, to revive a community he remembered from his childhood as being safer, more prosperous, with better public schools and less liberal politics. It was his final effort trying to make things work in California. Mr. Chabot lost by 12 points. By Thanksgiving, he, his wife, Brenda, and their four children were touring North Texas in a rented S.U.V. looking for a new home. In the language of political science, they were sorting. The Chabots left a part of the country where they believed they no longer fit in as conservatives for a new community where they felt sure they would. “I see it even more boldly — as escaping,” Mr. Chabot said from McKinney, Tex., where the family settled this year.)

GOVERNING
— These Governors Are Rich, But Are They Effective?  The wealthy are increasingly seeking their state’s highest office. Winning has been the easy part. – LOUIS JACOBSON
http://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-rich-governors-effectiveness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2014, Rauner, whose money came from private equity, used his fortune to defeat incumbent Illinois Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. In the primary, Rauner spent $16 million and won by three percentage points in a four-way race. In the general election, he spent $54 million. “We’ve never had a candidate for governor in my 40 years watching politics who even came close to having Rauner’s financial resources,” says Bernard Schoenburg, a political columnist at The State Journal-Register in Springfield, Ill. “It enabled him to get his message across on lots of platforms.” . . . The poster child for difficult governorships, however, has been Rauner’s. His ongoing budget war with the Democratic-controlled legislature has drawn threats of junk bond status from credit ratings agencies and loss of university accreditation following two years of steep cuts and unpaid bills. “Rather than recognize that he had to deal with strong pro-labor Democratic legislative majorities in a blue state,” says Kent Redfield, a University of Illinois-Springfield political scientist, “he pushed a strong anti-union, right-to-work agenda from the beginning that unified all parts of labor against him.” And those weren’t the only enemies Rauner made, Redfield says: The governor “tried to hold the budget hostage to leverage his ‘Turnaround Agenda,’ which initially included tort reform and cuts in social services spending to health facilities in addition to anti-collective bargaining, worker’s comp reform and pension reform measures. This unified the major funders of the Democratic Party against him — labor, the trial lawyers, and the hospitals and nursing homes.” . . . In Illinois, at least two wealthy Democratic candidates are expected to run: J.B. Pritzker and Chris Kennedy. Given Rauner’s willingness to spend from his own pocketbook, a credible Democratic candidate who’s wealthy would have a huge leg up. “People think the race could cost each side a far-unprecedented $150 million,” Schoenburg says.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner gets his day at State Fair as Madigan calls meeting at Capitol  (DIERSEN: What discourages you the most from attending Republican events at the State Fair?  For me, it is knowing that far too many of the leaders who will be there are anti-Trump and/or fail/refuse to defend/advance planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and illegal drugs planks.)

— Snubbed financier says he’ll belatedly pay up for Gov. Rauner’s prize-winning steer – Kim Janssen  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who discourage Republicans from donating money to help sponsor entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-state-fair-day1-0816-chicago-inc-20170815-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Financier R.J. D’Orazio — a big Rauner supporter — confirmed to Chicago Inc. on Tuesday that he had not paid the $20,000 because “I did not get any recognition.” D’Orazio said that when he initially committed to donate $10,000 to $15,000, he was told “there would be some kind of article in the Chicago Tribune” recognizing his donation to charities including the Illinois 4-H Club. D’Orazio did say Tuesday night that he would “be happy to wire the $20,000 first thing in the morning if someone tells me where to send it.” An auction organizer told Inc. that D’Orazio had been pursued for the money until March, when organizers finally gave up. Rauner, who was hailed as the record-breaking bidder last year, told Inc. he was unaware of D’Orazio’s failure to pay. “I haven’t heard that,” he said. D’Orazio’s failure to pay means the governor has been stripped — at least for now — of his status as the owner of the most expensive livestock sold at the state fair. The program for this year’s auction lists an earlier auction won for $100,000 as the highest amount ever bid. It records Rauner’s winning bid of last year as $84,000, listing “friends of the Wisnefski family” and D’Orazio’s investment firm, D’Orazio Capital Partners, as co-donors. D’Orazio said he intended to make the donation in a private capacity, not through his firm. He had seen Rauner at a fundraiser since last year’s auction but “the governor didn’t bring it up,” he said. He added, “I apologize. I didn’t realize that it was going to be put out that the governor was buying it on his own. I was doing a favor for a friend.”)

http://www.beloitdailynews.com/article/20170815/AP/308159796
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Attorney General Jeff Sessions says cities that refuse to share information with federal immigration authorities show a disrespect for the rule of law that is jeopardizing the “most fundamental duty of government” — ensuring public safety. Sessions planned to highlight cities that cooperate with federal immigration officials during a visit Wednesday to Miami. He is to be accompanied by Tom Homan, acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Miami-Dade County earlier this year reversed its “sanctuary city” policy, saying the county would honor requests to hold people for extra time so they can be arrested by immigration authorities. Local officials defended the decision, saying they wanted to keep receiving Justice Department grants for community policing. Both President Donald Trump and Sessions have threatened to end such funding for so-called sanctuary cities, which are broadly defined as places that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Trump says such jurisdictions provide a haven for criminal activity. Cities say such immigrant-friendly policies actually enhance public safety. The attorney general planned in a speech Wednesday to contrast Miami’s example with cities like Chicago, which is suing the federal government over the funding threats. “Miami-Dade is an example of what is possible through hard work and a rededication to the rule of law. It is proof that the entire nation can do better,” Sessions says in speech excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “The most fundamental duty of government is to ensure the safety and liberty of its people.” “Respect for the rule of law has broken down,” Session says. “In Chicago, their so-called “sanctuary” policies are just one sad example.”)

THE BLAZE
— Racism in America is the symptom, identity politics is the disease – Brandon Morse
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/15/commentary-racism-in-america-is-the-symptom-identity-politics-is-the-disease/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bashing white men became so normalized that mainstream media outlets like Huffington Post, MSNBC, and Buzzfeed did it with impunity. Videos such as Questions Black People Want to Ask White People are posted on YouTube with millions of views. Netflix hosts a show called “Dear White People,” that paints white people as ignorant, and racist even if unintentionally. Overt racism had become trendy again, this time with whites as the target. This pop-racism inevitably resulted in violence, and radicalism. During the riot in Milwaukee, whites were actively targeted for assault and theft.)

— Chance the Rapper gives out 30K backpacks to kids at parade – WBBM/CNN  (DIERSEN: What do you give out to others? I have given out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. Those emails have gone out each and ever morning since 2004, each and every evening since 2015, and they have included links to more than 278,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wtol.com/story/36123613/chance-the-rapper-gives-out-30k-backpacks-to-kids-at-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chance the Rapper led the way as grand marshal of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in the South Side. Chance, a native of the city’s Chatham neighborhood, donated 30,000 stuffed backpacks for children along the parade route. The parade, now in its 88th year, is a tradition meant to serve as a back-to-school send off. “This is the best thing they have every year,” said a parent on the route. Since education is the focus, funding for public schools was on the minds of parade-goers and city leaders. “Right now we are suffering in a racially discriminatory funding system that it hurts funding in our state,” said  Forrest Claypool, Chicago Public Schools CEO. And while Gov. Bruce Rauner made an appearance before the parade, he did not address the funding issue during the event. Mayor Rahm Emanuel did address the issue. “The state of Illinois has the responsibility not to just show at a parade, not just to cheer, but to actively put resources that taxpayers of the city of Chicago give the state and fund our education equitably and fairly,” Emanuel said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Guess who pays for those $150,000 Columbia journalism degrees? – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because neither my bachelor’s degree nor any of my three master’s degrees are in journalism. In my defense, much of what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Further, much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2  years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/guess_who_pays_for_those_150000_columbia_journalism_degrees.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is questionable is the issue of who pays for the degree. President Obama put limits on repaying back student loans at the 20-year mark, meaning anyone who takes out debt at the $150,000 level is only going to be repaying a fraction of that debt. The taxpayers will pick up the remainder of the tab. Should the taxpayers be paying for that? Particularly if the journalists being turned out end up being advocacy journalists on just one side of the political spectrum? That is worth asking. Cooper makes a very important point in noting that the federal incentives for taking out high-dollar loans and the abbreviated payment obligations make high-priced, questionable-value degrees on offer inevitable at places like Columbia, writing:)

MADISON
— 5 Figures That Define the Middle Class – Sean Williams  (DIERSEN: From what I see, because the cost of living is so high in DuPage County, you need way more than “$24,173 to $72,521” to live a middle class life style in DuPage County and save for your retirement.)
http://host.madison.com/business/investment/markets-and-stocks/figures-that-define-the-middle-class/article_71955a5b-e0d6-5ebc-befc-12e6528774f0.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. $24,173 to $72,521  First things first: we have to define what middle-class income actually is. According to Pew Research Center, which conducted a study on the shrinking middle class in late 2015, an individual would qualify for the middle class if he or she earned more than $24,173 in 2014 dollars, or less than $72,521. Pew’s official definition is income of between 67% and 200% of overall median household income. Back in 1971, some 80 million Americans were considered to be in the middle class, compared to 51 million Americans who were either lumped in the lower- or upper-income brackets. However, by 2015, there were 121.3 million lower- and upper-income Americans, combined (using Pew’s definition of 67% to 200% of median household income). This is compared to 120.8 million middle-income Americans. In a span of 44 years, the middle class had become the minority. . .4. Approximately 70% have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies It’s no secret that Americans aren’t good savers. The U.S. personal saving rate has dipped by more than 50% over the past five decades, and we’re saving nowhere near the recommended 10% to 15% of our paychecks. But it’ll probably shock you to see how bad the middle class is at socking away cash for emergencies. According to a survey from GoBankingRates in September 2016, 37% of persons bringing home $25,000 to $49,999 annually didn’t have a dime in savings, and another 35% had less $1,000. Similarly, 33% of the people making between $50,000 and $74,999 had $0 in savings, and 36% had less than $1,000. Essentially, 7 in 10 middle-class folks have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, which is scary low. . .5. Debt at 122% of annual household income The middle class has also been highly proficient at racking up debt over the past two-plus decades, according to data from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, which is conducted every three years. Though debt for middle-class households hit an all-time high of 140% of annual household income in 2010, the 122% of debt relative to annual household income that middle-class households are lugging around as of 2013 still isn’t good. Comparatively, this is also nearly double the debt burden that middle-class families were contending with in 1989.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/brown-ann-coulter-slams-gov-rauner-as-retarded/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter gave Gov. Bruce Rauner’s first national television interview a bad review Friday, telling her 1.6 million Twitter followers that Rauner “either is retarded or playing retard.”  “His answer to every Q is, “Our system is broken.” Fascinating!” Coulter tweeted during an interview on FOX News Channel by host Bret Baier. Rauner was his normal evasive self, sidestepping Baier’s questions about President Trump, Chicago’s sanctuary city status and Obamacare. At one point, Baier seemed frustrated by his inability to get direct answers to his questions, but never called him out directly.)

Bruce Rauner gave a rare national interview to Fox News host Bret Baier on Friday that led conservative commentator Ann Coulter to sling a harsh insult Rauner’s way.  Rauner discussed illegal immigration and the state budget crisis on the program, and deflected  several questions. On Twitter, critics pounced, including Democratic state Rep. Christian Mitchell, who said on Twitter that Rauner did a “bellyflop.” But so far, the harshest criticism comes from Coulter, who attacked Rauner with her well-known brand of flame-throwing and sarcasm in a tweet. .@GovRauner either is retarded or is playing retard on @BretBaier. His answer to every Q is, “Our system is broken.” Fascinating!”  The word “retarded,” once ubiquitous as an insult, is now widely considered offensive. A spokeswoman for Rauner declined comment.)

— Anti-Trump Nutjob Arrested For Murder Of GOP Committeeman Neighbor – RYAN SAAVEDRA  (DIERSEN: What does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain have to say about this?  From what I see, the more of the following that your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is, the more danger that he/she is in: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, the fewer votes that Trump got and the more votes that Clinton got in his/her precinct, the more danger your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is in.  Trump got only 137 votes in my precinct and Clinton got 211.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/10/anti-trump-nutjob-arrested-for-murder-of-gop-committeeman-neighbor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A man described by neighbors as “quarrelsome” and who placed large anti-Trump signs in his yard is in police custody for the murder of his next-door neighbor – a GOP committeeman. Police in West Goshen Township, PA, charged Clayton Carter, 51, in the shooting death of his next-door neighbor, G. Brooks Jennings in the early morning hours on Tuesday, according to ABC Philadelphia. The conflict began on Monday evening when police officers responded to a dispute between Carter and Jennings that involved cursing and video recording in one of their backyards. Police de-escalated the conflict around 8 p.m. and left. Shortly after midnight, police say another conflict erupted between the two neighbors as Carter claims that Jennings shined a light into his eyes. Carter purportedly told police that he then drove his car onto his lawn and shined the car’s high beams towards Jennings. Investigators say it was at this point when Carter went into his home and grabbed a .380 semi-automatic pistol and confronted Jennings. Carter allegedly shot Jennings in the head, knocking him to the ground, and then stood over his body and shot him in the head again. Police say the victim Carter shot Jennings on Jennings property. One neighbor described Jennings, a GOP committeeman, as “the nicest, best guy I’ve ever met in my whole life.” Those same neighbors described Carter, who apparently had a history of conflict with multiple neighbors — including pulling a gun on Jennings in the past — as someone they avoided because of his volatile behavior. “We steered clear of him. We were frightened of him [Carter] because he’s so unpredictable,” another neighbor said speaking about Carter. Neighbors described his front yard as being crowded with cars and anti-Trump signs that he made himself. Many of the conflicts between Carter and his neighbors were apparently not political, but personal. Police charged Carter with multiple crimes including first-degree murder which makes him ineligible for bail in the state of Pennsylvania.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-james-damore-fired-googler-20170808-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But unlike government employees, who have some free speech protections, private employees in the U.S. have little legal recourse if companies choose to retaliate for things they say at work or at home. In fact, most non-union private sector employees can be fired for almost any reason — or no reason at all. “Any claim that [Damore] brings will have only a negligible chance at success,” said law professor Paul Secunda, who directs the labor and employment law program at Marquette University. What’s more, firing Damore may have kept Google on the right side of the law, if the company or its employees felt that the memo had created a work environment that was hostile to women. Adam Galinsky, chair of management at Columbia Business School, said companies may have a legitimate reason for firing someone for expressing views that disrupt the professional environment. “I think that the firing was the appropriate response here,” Galinsky said. “I think if they didn’t fire the employee it would have created a lot of internal unrest among the women who work at Google.” In his defense, Damore could claim under the Civil Rights Act that he was fired for being male or for speaking out against anti-male discrimination, but Google could counter that it actually fired him for the attitudes he expressed about women, which aren’t protected. “He would have to show that if a woman had made similar comments about women’s superiority for jobs, that woman in a similar situation would not have been terminated,” , said Shannon Farmer, a partner at Ballard Spahr who represents employers. “That’s probably a hard thing to prove.” On Monday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a note to employees that said portions of Damore’s memo “violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.” He didn’t say if the company was taking action against the employee. A Google representative, asked about the dismissal, referred to Pichai’s memo.)
