(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican consultant Jon Zahm has resurrected a political action committee he started 10 years ago to try to unseat Illinois Supreme Court Justice Thomas Kilbride, who’s up for retention. “I oppose Kilbride because I predicted in 2010 that he would support [House Speaker Michael] Madigan’s power to draw legislative maps gerrymandered to elect Democrats,” Zahm told Playbook. “And in 2016, that’s exactly what [Kilbride] protected when he would not allow the public to vote on the Fair Maps Amendment due to a technicality.” That was a 4-3 vote along party lines with a decision authored by Kilbride. Steve Korris of the Madison-St. Clair Record questions whether Kilbride’s opinion allowed Madigan’s power to go unchecked. Zahm hopes Vote No Kilbride 2020 PAC is more successful than its 2010 iteration. Supreme Court justices need 60 percent of the vote to be retained. In 2010, Kilbride received not quite 66 percent. The GOP politico says he’s put $500 of his own money into the PAC and he expects to run his anti-Kilbride campaign as a grassroots effort with signs and speaking engagements. Zahm’s twin sons, Daniel and Jonah, were born when Kilbride was first elected in 2000 and the boys took part in parades and put up signs with their dad during the last campaign. Now they’re working as field directors in the 2020 effort. “Twenty years is enough,” Zahm said. “He does not need 30.”)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— The Ruling Class Strikes Back If the aim is merely to survive this “revolution” and win elections, then we have only delayed the cycle a little while longer. – Pedro Gonzalez (DIERSEN: What do you say to those in your municipality, in your township, and in your county a) who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout, b) who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, c) but who fail/refuse to speak out against BLM, and d) but who fail/refuse to speak out in support of law enforcement?)
https://amgreatness.com/2020/09/08/the-ruling-class-strikes-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For months, entire city blocks have been defaced, looted, and razed in the name of a racial justice spearheaded by Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Their aim is summarized by far-left activist Ashley Nicole McCray: “This future that we all want, that we’re all trying to build, really is about the destruction of colonization, white supremacy, and capitalism.” But McCray’s is itself a colonial project that seeks to fill with its poison every political and cultural institution in the basin of American life. It also happens to be backed by many in America’s mostly white capitalist class who use racial grievances for their own gain and are used by the aggrieved in turn. Increasingly it appears we are witnessing a ruling class power grab more than a social justice revolution. The elites are striking back directly and through proxies.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— MADIGAN’s CRUSADE – SHIA KAPOS
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Democratic Party is on a crusade to grab as many seats as possible in the November election, which is just 56 days away — or less, if you’re voting by mail. Democratic and Republican sources say Dems could flip at least six House seats and, depending how much money House Speaker Michael Madigan throws at races, even more. There are a few reasons for a possible sweep. First, President Donald Trump is expected to hinder Republicans in suburban strongholds. Trump could lose by 10 to 15 points in some suburbs, which means Republicans in those districts would have to outperform the top of the ticket by that much — and that’s not likely without a lot of cash. The Illinois Republican Party doesn’t have the financial resources to compete with Democrats, who have amassed $3.7 million, according to the State Board of Elections website. That compares to Republicans who have close to $1.1 million in the bank. And Madigan, the Dems’ chief fundraiser, has an additional $14.8 million that he can spend on candidates — more than five times what Minority Leader Jim Durkin has. Democrats already have a majority in the House, holding 74 seats to the Republicans’ 44. So why push for more? With his position as House speaker coming up for a vote in January, Madigan officially needs 60 votes to be re-elected to the position, and it would be a show of force if he could get at least 70 votes. So it’s no wonder he’s making every effort to push Democrats over the line in November. Flipping more than six seats would be a reminder to Democrats that he’s critical to their party’s success. Republicans say Illinois voters dislike Madigan and it will show in the polls. “When voters are concerned about ethics and fiscal issues, we benefit,” said Jayme Odom, executive director of the House Republican Organization. “There’s no amount of money that can cover up the problems that the Democrats have with Mike Madigan in charge.” Mary Morrissey, executive director of the Illinois Democratic Party counters: “When Illinois Republicans refer to corruption, we assume they’re talking about their president and his daily affront to Americans, our constitution and the integrity of our democracy. When they mention the economy, we assume Illinois Republicans mean the growing economy Donald Trump inherited and tore apart with his disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic.” The six Illinois House seats expected to flip: Allen Skillicorn. . .Morrison. . .Wehrli. . .Mazzochi. . .Stephens. . .Grant. . .Democrats also think they can defeat Republican Reps. John Cabello, Steve Reick, Norine Hammond, and Dan Ugaste, though GOP insiders expect the races to hinge on whether their GOP-leaning districts back Trump this time around. And Republicans hope to flip the 116th District: Republican David Friess, an attorney, vs. the recently appointed Dem Rep. Nathan Reitz; 111th District: Republican Amy Elik vs. Democratic Rep. Monica Bristow (Republicans lost by 356 votes to Bristow two years ago); and the 112th District that has Republican Lisa Ciampoli challenging Democratic Rep. Katie Stuart.)

DESERET NEWS
— Understanding ‘pink slime journalism’ and what it reveals about conservatives and liberals Websites featuring local news could be efforts to sway elections, media analysts say. But one publisher says he’s filling a void left by the closure of community newspapers – Jennifer Graham (DIERSEN: www.gopusaillinois.com does not masquerade.)
https://www.deseret.com/indepth/2020/9/7/21409053/understanding-pink-slime-journalism-and-what-it-reveals-about-conservatives-and-liberals
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six in 10 Americans who are Republican, or lean that way, believe that news organizations make mistakes to deliberately mislead people, according to a new report from Pew Research Center. The number is even higher among supporters of President Donald Trump, who repeatedly berates the mainstream news media for dispensing what he calls “fake news.” That could make conservatives the group most susceptible to an emerging phenomenon that has been dubbed “pink-slime journalism,” websites that masquerade as local news, but may exist to promote a partisan agenda and gather data on users, according to an investigation by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. The term “pink-slime journalism,” believed to have been coined in 2012 by journalist Ryan Smith, suggests something more sinister than “yellow journalism,” which describes news coverage that is overly sensational or tawdry and which dates to the 19th century. Pink-slime journalism, however, is thoroughly modern, enabled by computer-generated articles and accounts compiled by people who may not live in the United States.)

AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE ASSOCIATION
— Why “27 Years and Out” Should Be Retired – TED CRAIG (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, reorganizations, budget cuts, up-or-out, subjectivity in job assignments, subjectivity in performance appraisal, etc. to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they have not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
http://www.afsa.org/why-27-years-and-out-should-be-retired
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This September I will retire from the U.S. Foreign Service. Not for lack of energy and commitment, as I sit squarely in my mid-50s and am in good health. Nor for lack of capability, if my last employee evaluation report in a senior overseas leadership position is to be credited. And not for any constraints on my readiness to serve. Along with scores of other capable colleagues every year, I am moving on because of the Service’s long-standing requirement that we retire after 27 years unless selected to the Senior Foreign Service. It is the deal we signed up for, so those of us who don’t cross the threshold must accept the outcome. Whether this deal still makes sense for the Foreign Service is another question. The 27-year threshold is the relic of an age of one-career couples and unsuited to the professional constraints faced today by single parents, dual-career partners, or just about anyone with a substantial life challenge. It is draining away experienced and skilled officers at a time of unprecedented challenge to our interests and ideals overseas, and it may play a role in limiting diversity in our senior ranks. The 27-year “Time in Service” (TIS) limit in the Foreign Service mirrors the U.S. military, where officers have that number of years to make flag rank—the one-star ranks of brigadier general for the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, and rear admiral for the Navy—or face mandatory retirement. And some of the justifications for the system are similar for both the military and the diplomatic corps. First, the limitation ensures “pass-through” in the ranks, opening opportunities for the next generation of officers to move through the system as longer-serving officers are retired. Like most bureaucracies, we have a pyramid-shaped organization at the State Department. We need more mid-level diplomats than we do ambassadors and deputy assistant secretaries. There is not room for everyone to be selected for the Senior Foreign Service, and using upward progression as an incentive for superior performance is beneficial. A second argument for the TIS limit, unspoken in polite company, is that it rids the system of underperforming bureaucratic deadwood. This argument is less convincing. Like the military, the Foreign Service uses up-or-out all along the way, thinning the ranks at each step in promotion; anyone making our Service’s most senior “pre-flag” rank (FS-1, the protocol equivalent of a colonel) has been pushed forward by at least three promotion boards and should be a strong officer. While we still occasionally see underperformers marking time at the FS-1 rank, the reality is that most of those pushed out of the Service are still capable of strong contributions and valuable mentoring. Many will have been recommended for elevation to the Senior Foreign Service by the annual selection panels, falling short because of limited allotted slots for new senior officers.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shortly after the newest banner appeared at Maine East, Maine Township Republican Committeewoman Char Foss-Eggemann, of Park Ridge, posted a message on the Republicans of Maine Township Facebook page, writing that it is “a breach of the public trust to use taxpayer-funded government property to post political messages.” She encouraged followers of the pages to email District 207 Supt. Ken Wallace to inquire about the banner, which she referred to as a “BLM banner,” the abbreviation standing for “Black lives matter.” The message was also shared by the Republican Women of Park Ridge Facebook page, an organization of which Foss-Eggemann is also a leader. In an email to Pioneer Press, Foss-Eggemann said the Maine East banners contain “political messaging” and the name of “a specific political organization,” Black Lives Matter. “There should be zero debate on this because it is self-evident,” Foss-Eggemann said. “Political messages do not belong on any government building, period.” In an email to Wallace, which Foss-Eggemann also shared, she suggested the district could achieve “an environment of equality, inclusion and kindness” by using “apolitical banners which avoid politically-charged slogans or words routinely and/or commercially associated with various political group(s).”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On a call with reporters hosted by the Biden campaign Friday, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth lambasted Trump for “belittling the sacrifices of those who have shown more bravery than he’s capable of.” Duckworth, a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel who lost both of her legs in the Iraq War, has been a prominent critic of Trump’s handling of military issues. Knocking Trump for allegedly inventing an injury to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, Duckworth said that she’d “take my wheelchair and my titanium legs over Donald Trump’s supposed bone spurs any day.” Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who drew national attention after criticizing Trump during the 2016 Democratic National Convention, joined Duckworth on the call and said that Trump’s “life is a testament to selfishness.”)

— Phony Obama Discrimination Lawsuits Still Lingering – Rachel Alexander (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs. Because all the jobs that I had were bad jobs, my superiors had a much harder time finding qualified minorities and qualified women who would take those bad jobs. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.) )
https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2020/08/31/phony-obama-discrimination-lawsuits-still-lingering-n2575335
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There was no evidence of discrimination. No one came forward to complain. The lawsuits were solely based on statistics. They didn’t take into account legitimate reasons for the discrepancies. Fewer minorities and women may have applied for jobs. They may not have had as much experience or education. By forcing people artificially into boxes, opportunities that accommodate people’s different needs are eliminated. For example, a woman may want a job with fewer hours or flexible hours due to raising children. But these rigid categories eliminate the opportunity for her.)

ACCURACY IN ACADEMIA

I would focus on my critics/opponents who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.

https://www.academia.org/wisconsin-lutheran-caves-revokes-invitation-to-pence/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Mike Pence was scheduled to speak at the commencement of Wisconsin Lutheran University this past weekend, but the private college revoked the invitation. The college, located in Milwaukee, announced that “after further review with careful consideration” it chose to “present a different speaker” instead of the vice president. The college announced that it replaced Pence with Rev. Mark Jeske of St. Marcus Lutheran Church. Jaske is the senior pastor at the Milwaukee-based Lutheran church and he has been with the church since 1980. Wisconsin Lutheran University initially fought back criticisms from alumni and current students about having Pence speak at commencement and said it was a nonpolitical event. The university noted that Pence’s service has come with “an unapologetic faith in Christ” and praised his advocacy “for the freedom of religious expression.” It added, “This event is not an endorsement of a political party, candidate, or a party’s platform.” But the university’s statement fell on deaf ears. The anti-Pence coalition wrote an open letter and claimed that Pence’s was part of “an incredibly divisive and controversial ticket” in an election year. They also claimed that it was “ignorant and deceptive” for the college to invite Pence without acknowledging the political implications. Wisconsin’s Democratic Party issued a statement critical of Pence and said, “It’s clear why Pence was disinvited from speaking at Wisconsin Lutheran’s College’s commencement: the Trump administration is focused on dividing, not uniting.” Neither the state Democratic Party nor the anti-Pence coalition acknowledged that the disinvitation controversy is an example of “cancel culture” and fails to live up to America’s long-held standard of tolerance. Cancel culture is the practice of withholding support and publicly shaming individuals over their political or moral views. None of Pence’s critics admitted that the Trump administration (and by extension, Pence) has advanced religious freedom protections for Christians and those of other faiths.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 7. Assuming years of experience as a proxy for skill. Asking for unrealistic qualifications and relying more on the years of experience on the CV rather than skills (e.g. 10 years of experience for a close-to-junior position), Although I understand that in some markets strict requirements might be used preliminary to select the most interesting candidates, there really is no concrete reason to do so.” — Joel Cociani Take college degrees: If a four-year degree is required, why is it required? What does a degree prove? If you need a mechanical engineer, then a degree does indicate a certain level of knowledge. But if you need a customer service rep, requiring a degree may automatically exclude some potentially awesome people. The same is true with years of experience. Say you require “at least five years of experience in an accounting role.” What do those years of service indicate? Only that you’ve managed to hold accounting jobs for five years. Never use an experience or irrelevant qualifications as a proxy for an achievement. What matters is what people can do. Which means what matters is what they’ve done.)
