CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, Democrats encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.

— Trump can’t block critics on Twitter, judge says – AP (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want to block everyone from getting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They want you to know only what they tell you, no more and no less.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/donald-trump-blocking-users-critics-twitter/
— Twitter to add special labels to political candidates – AP (DIERSEN: Should Twtter, Facebook, GOPUSA ILLINOIS, etc. label candidates as being Republican, RINO, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, etc.?)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/twitter-special-labels-political-candidates-prevent-spoofing-fake-accounts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twitter says it’s adding special labels to tweets from some U.S. political candidates ahead of this year’s midterm elections. Twitter says the move is to provide users with “authentic information” and prevent spoofed and fake accounts from fooling users. The labels will include what office a person is running for and where. Both the candidate’s account and the tweets from it will get labels. The labels will appear on retweets as well as tweets off of Twitter, such as when they are embedded in a news story. Twitter, along with Facebook and other social media companies, has been under heavy scrutiny for allowing their platforms to be misused by malicious actors trying to influence elections around the world. The labels will start to appear next week for candidates for governor and Congress. Twitter wouldn’t say whether it will extend this outside the U.S., where elections interference has also been a big issue. The San Francisco-based company is working with the nonprofit, nonpartisan Ballotpedia to help identify the relevant Twitter accounts.)
— Israel has every right to protect its citizens against an invasion by hostile masses – Aviv Ezra (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Democrats are closer to illegals than they are to Republicans. Ever-increasingly, Democrats shout at foreign countries and at their citizens that America is full of Republicans who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Ever-increasingly, constructively, Democrats call for “hostile masses” to invade America and to get rid of Republicans once and for all. Consequently, ever-increasingly, Republicans are buying more and more and more firearms and ammunition for their self-defense.)

DAILY HERALD
— Illinois Senate panel endorses wage-equity plan – AP (DIERSEN: Government employees have always been demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being grossly overpaid. Consequently, if they seek a job in the private sector, it is difficult, if not impossible, for them to get a job without taking a pay cut.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20180523/news/305239892/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The legislation is considered a pay-equity plan. Basing pay on salary history can hurt women. They often spend time outside the workforce for familial or other reasons not applicable to men. Democratic Sen. Cristina Castro of Elgin is the sponsor. She says the penalties in her bill keep businesses accountable. Republican Sen. Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove says the rejected plan was a bipartisan compromise. Castro’s measure goes to the Senate floor.)

— Rauner signs executive order targeting lawmaker conflicts of interest in property tax appeals – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the tremendous opposition that I encountered to get my home’s assessed valuation reduced during the 1980s and 1990s. Ultimately, the Property Tax Appeal Board ruled in my favor.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order to fight high property taxes under the current system, Rauner said homeowners have to hire politically connected law firms, like the one where longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan works. “No one who sets tax policy, no one who has an influence to increase taxes on one hand should be in a position where they financially benefit from fighting about property taxes and try to get them reduced on the other hand,” Rauner said.)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/jeanne-ives-wins-key-straw-poll-in-illinois-republican-primary-469175613.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s been a good week for State Rep. Jeanne Ives, as she picked up another endorsement in her campaign to unseat Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner. In a tweet, Ives announced that she had won the endorsement of the Wheeling Republican Party in landslide fashion, winning 90 percent of the vote on Saturday. According to Ives, there were more Republican votes cast in Wheeling Township alone than in a staggering 89 of Illinois’ 102 counties during the 2014 primary season. Her victory comes just days after the Chicago Republican Party handed her an overwhelming victory in a straw poll. Ives beat Rauner 17-3 in that vote, which was conducted by the party’s Central Committee in Chicago.)

But Rauner is indicating that pursuing that policy change won’t be an immediate priority. The governor says first, Illinois needs more jobs so that there are enough available for everyone, including Medicaid recipients.)

CHICAGO NOW
— How America deals with Hate Speech – James Kirk Wall
http://www.chicagonow.com/an-atheist-in-illinois/2017/10/how-america-deals-with-hate-speech/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1995 the KKK came to Wheaton, IL Wheaton is a Western suburb of Chicago next to Naperville. In 1995 the Ku Klux Klan legally obtained a permit to demonstrate in the county court house. So what do you do when this happens in your town? An organization of hate and ignorance which has historically caused great suffering to a great number of people. This is how it was handled in Wheaton. Citizens of Mexican heritage organized a 26-piece mariachi band to perform on the common grounds. There were also protestors. If you came to this event you could stand with the protestors and chant, “Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! KKK has got to go!” Or you could hang out with the band and do a little La Bamba. The best case scenario for a KKK rally is that nobody shows up. Having not that many people there and a mariachi band wasn’t a bad response. That organization hasn’t been back to Wheaton since. There was a police presence to keep the peace. To make sure people were protected from harmful actions, not offensive words.)

PRAIRIE STATE WIRE
— Rauner and our Illinois Republican future – Christopher Robling
http://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511244022-rauner-and-our-illinois-republican-future
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I think Jeanne Ives, or any of another five or six party luminaries, defeats Rauner in the primary on announcement. His money will not matter. His flannel shirts will not attract. His commercials will persuade no one. He may attack Jeanne, the way he did Aaron and Dan. But for what? Goodness knows. Regardless, it will reduce his vote, not hers. Attacking a Wheaton mom who was among the first female West Point grads, a decorated logistics officer in the U.S. Army, who has earned her spurs in Springfield, worked with Democrats to pass important bills for all of us, and who has never strayed from her stated political beliefs in conservatism and rooting out Illinois corruption? The only campaign person who might recommend such a course probably led Mark Kirk’s re-elect effort. I know, Rauner bought the party. I do not think it matters. I know the State Central Committee is urged to hold the line. But, for what? For this? The party of Reagan? To this we have sunk? What have we delivered to the people – all of the people, from the South Side to Southern Illinois, from Western Illinois University to Northwestern – what have those folks gotten from Rauner and us that is worthy of us holding anything for him? Does any one of us believe that Rauner will get to the re-apportionment table? Or, if one thinks he will, on what basis might one think Rauner would deliver the best map possible for Illinoisans under those circumstances? Instead, for this all-encompassing task, Rauner’s petty personalization against Madigan has shown him uniquely unqualified. I thought Bruce Rauner was a fresh breeze. I thought he was technocrat who would save our finances. I did not expect a conservative, per se, but after his pitch to Jack Roeser, I was promised Bruce would never be a liberal. I got a whopping tax hike, Sanctuary State, Transgender Birth Certificates and taxpayer-funded abortion on demand through nine-months of pregnancy. What is so horrid about Rauner’s incumbency, and what is fatal to his cause, is that his screw-ups repel the reasonable voters, neither stridently “D,” nor “R,” who simply do not want to give everything to the Democrats in November 2018. These folks are the key to 2018. They are not partisans. They are our only path to the reapportionment conversation. I believe Rauner has irrevocably lost them for his serial incompetence. Rauner cannot be our future because of his past 32 months. Will Jeanne Ives, or Dan Cronin, or Peter Roskam, or David McSweeney, or Peter Breen or someone else get those voters? At this moment, I think each would beat Bruce on announcement, and each would qualify as a safe harbor for November voters who have had enough one-party domination. Maybe that is the slogan: “End One-Party Domination, Defeat Rauner.” Count me in. Now, who is the candidate?)

— “Whatever” clip encapsulates the new Rauner – Mark Glennon
http://www.wirepoints.com/whatever-clip-encapsulates-the-new-rauner/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When asked what he thought about all the chatter on a primary challenge from GOP Rep. Jeanne Ives, Governor Rauner had only a simple “whatever.” Unfortunately, that’s emblematic of the what Bruce Rauner has become. This is not the same Bruce Rauner who, at least through his primary run four years ago, was informed, substantive, vigorous and principled. Now, he stumbles from day to day with no purpose, unprepared and uninformed, offering little more than glib platitudes delivered with a smile. Nobody in either party in the General Assembly trusts him, and he has largely turned his office over to his wife, who holds fundamentally different views than those her husband ran on. He has lost it, and dropping out of the race is looking more and more like the right way for him to go.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— The Illinois GOP Congressional Caucus Responds to HB 40 – Laurie Higgins
https://illinoisfamily.org/life/illinois-gop-congressional-caucus-responds-hb-40/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Great news from the congressional front! In light of the possibility that Governor Bruce Rauner may renege on his commitment to veto HB 40—the bill that would require taxpayer-funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee insurance plans through the entire 9 months of pregnancies—and the moral gravity of such an obscene (and costly) requirement, Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith sent a letter to Illinois’ Republican congressmen requesting their help in persuading Governor Rauner to veto HB 40. Earlier today, U.S. Congressmen Peter Roskam, John Shimkus, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Rodney Davis, Mike Bost, and Darin LaHood sent a letter to Governor Rauner urging him to do just that:)
