ACTION NEWS NOW
— CNN MOVES 9 KEY HOUSE RACES IN DEMS’ FAVOR
http://www.actionnewsnow.com/content/national/494299831.html?ref=831
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Race moves from Likely Republican to Lean Republican IL-06: Will GOP Rep. Peter Roskam, first elected amid the Democratic wave of 2006, be able to withstand the political currents of 2018? This suburban Chicago seat where a majority of residents hold a college degree is exactly the kind of district Democrats are eyeing to lift the party back to the majority in the House. Trump only received 42% of the vote here in 2016, losing the district by seven points to Clinton. That was a swing from 2012, when Romney carried the district 53% to 45%. A recent NYT/Siena poll found 57% of voters in the district disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president. That survey also found Roskam and his Democratic challenger, Sean Casten, locked in a close race at 45% to 44%. Casten, a scientist and clean energy businessman, has drawn scrutiny for some controversial statements, including comparing the President to Osama bin Laden. He later said he regretted his comments. Casten has also sought to put Roskam on defense for not being a check on the President and for supporting Trump’s agenda, especially the GOP tax plan, which the Democrat says could hurt taxpayers in the district because of the cap on state and local deductions.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Gov. Rauner officiates at gay wedding — conservatives not throwing rice – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/gov-rauner-officiates-gay-same-sex-wedding-conservatives-unhappy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Keep poking social conservatives in the eye Bruce,” tweeted David E. Smith, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute. “You are doing a yeoman’s job of alienating the base.” The Rauners are personal friends of the couple, who are political supporters of the governor, according to an attendee at the wedding. Rauner campaigned as a social moderate, and has said he has no social agenda. But he’s been forced to address several key issues during his first-term — signing a controversial measure that expanded taxpayer-funding of abortion and worked to protect abortions in Illinois should the Supreme Court overturn Roe. v. Wade. He also signed a measure that allowed transgender people to change the sex listed on their birth certificates. Those were among some of the issues that led state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, to run against Rauner in the March primary, with the governor winning by just 3 points. Many conservative Republicans called the signing of the abortion bill a betrayal. But Rauner denied the claim that earned him the nickname of “Benedict Rauner” and the label of RINO — Republican in name only. Illinois Review, a news source for conservatives, first reported on Rauner at the wedding and the potential conservative backlash. The governor’s office declined comment on the wedding. Less than four years ago, Equality Illinois accused Rauner of ducking social issues that turned some voters off. Just months before the 2014 election, Rauner sent former Illinois GOP Party Chairman Pat Brady to the Pride Parade in Chicago in his place. Gay rights activists supported Democrat Pat Quinn in the race. They campaigned against Rauner, hanging a banner along the parade route, bearing Rauner’s face and his quote on marriage quality: “If I were governor, I would veto it.” Brady stepped down from his post after angering social conservatives when he took a stand in favor of same sex marriage. During the campaign Rauner declined to say whether he supported it. And while he said he had no plans to overturn the same-sex law, he also said if it had landed on his desk as governor he would have vetoed it because voters should have decided the issue. Rauner met with gay rights advocates soon after taking office, telling them he’d direct state agencies to enforce anti-discrimination laws. “I said four years ago, and it’s always been true,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times while campaigning in the final week before the March primary. “I support a woman’s right to decide. I don’t focus on social issues, never have. I’m focused on what unites us: lower taxes, more jobs, ending corruption, and term limits.”)

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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Associated Press reporters asked the FBI and Justice Department for a meeting in April 2017, hoping to find out whether their reporting on President Trump’s former campaign chairman was on the right track. But it was the AP reporters who would shape the FBI’s investigation, an agent would later testify, when they disclosed the existence of a storage locker used by Paul Manafort. Roughly a month after the meeting, the FBI obtained a search warrant for the locker, seizing 30 years’ worth of financial documents that would become the backbone of the government’s current prosecution of Mr. Manafort in two different courtrooms.)

INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW
— Number of Employed Americans Reaches Another Record High Under Trump – SAM DORMAN (DIERSEN: Are you employed? I have not been employed since September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that. They stress that my GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They stress that my IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. They stress that my Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

FORBES
— President Trump’s Common Sense Reform Of The Civil Service System Is Just The Start (Hopefully) – Rob Berger (DIERSEN: Assessing job performance is extremely subjective. Democrats use that subjectivity a) to advance Democrats who are minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Of course, since 1966, my critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against me because I am a “poor-performing employee.” 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.)
