CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Rauner: Ricketts, the IMA and the future of the Illinois GOP The shift of millions of dollars in dark money suggests the fight for control of the Illinois Republican Party is on, with implications for Chicago’s mayoral race, too. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. As everyone knows, anti-conservatives have always a) dominated the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) and b) blamed conservatives for all losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois. Those anti-conservatives want the IRP a) to officially demonize, denigrate, condemn, and banish Trump, b) to officially banish Trump supporters from the IRP, c) to officially strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from the IRP platform, d) to officially promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, etc., and e) to officially banish conservatives, that is, Republicans, from the IRP.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-rauner-ricketts-ima-and-future-illinois-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of this is occurring as Republican chatter builds about what will happen after Rauner and the tens of millions of dollars he’s plowed into the party are gone. Ricketts reportedly is interested in stepping up his activity, perhaps with Griffin as a partner, insiders say. The Ricketts clan does have quite a political pedigree, with Todd Ricketts’ brother, Pete Ricketts, now the governor of Nebraska, and his sister, Laura Ricketts, a leading national Democratic donor. Chairman Schneider, in an interview, said his term has well over three more years to run and “at this point,” he expects to complete it. But he conceded that considerable concern about the future is being raised in a party in which conservative activist state Rep. Jeanne Ives almost defeated Rauner in the March primary, and conservative activist Dan Proft, with help from wealthy businessman Dick Uhlein, has been running millions of ads on behalf of Illinois House candidates he says will be independent of both Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan. “I definitely think there will be a change in leadership of the party after Rauner loses,” Ives says. “I expect to sit with all parts of the party after the election,” Schneider told me. “We’ll put our collective heads together to try to sort out things should work together.” As for Ricketts—a spokesman denied to Politico that he or his family are involved in dark money activities—I wish we had a lot of people like Todd,” Schneider said. “He’s a great guy.”)

Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not ask their candidates any questions before they will let attend their candidates’ press conferences. Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not report anything about their fundraisers before they will let me attend their fundraisers. I should write a book about the aforesaid political consultants and campaign managers and what they have done to discourage/stop me from asking their candidates any questions. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions, and that because of that, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. should a) stop me from learning about their events and other activities, b) stop me from promoting their events and other activities, c) stop me from attending their events, and d) stop me from reporting on their events and other activities.)

But don’t expect Roskam to get too cozy with the White House in the run-up to Election Day — Trump remains unpopular in Roskam’s suburban Chicago-based district. In fact, the president is a big reason Roskam’s seat is suddenly one of the most endangered GOP seats in the nation. How endangered? Enough that party strategists are suggesting he might be abandoned as a lost cause if his campaign doesn’t “recover quickly.” For now though, the NRCC is out with a new attack ad aimed at his opponent, Democrat Sean Casten. And Roskam’s camp says the NRCC is pouring $1.5 million into its race. The veteran congressman will need it. Casten has $4.6 million reserved for ads. And a poll commissioned by Casten two weeks ago showed him ahead 49 percent to Roskam’s 44 percent.)

— Illinois CPA Society Seeks Minority Candidates for Internship Preparation Program – Illinois CPA Society (DIERSEN: Did you get any internships while you were in college? I did not. I was draft bait. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969 while I attended UIC and NIU. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. Nevertheless, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I have been an Illinois CPA Society member since 1979.)
https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12433223/illinois-cpa-society-seeks-minority-candidates-for-internship-preparation-program
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Illinois CPA Society is seeking minority college students who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors interested in accounting to apply for the Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program. This highly competitive and all-expenses paid program will be held January 3-5, 2019. This program prepares up to 25 racially/ethnically diverse students for entry-level positions with access to practical training, resources, and potential future employers. Highlights from the agenda include resume advice and interview coaching from recruiters and volunteer experts. Additionally, all participants receive a $500 scholarship, business cards, a professional headshot, and a LinkedIn profile. At the end of the program, participating employers conduct onsite interviews with the students for a variety of opportunities, including Abbott Laboratories, Crowe LLP, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Grant Thornton LLP, KPMG LLP, PwC LLP, and Sikich LLP. “When our scholars end up receiving internships and even full-time job offers, it’s highly rewarding to know that we’ve helped brighten their futures,” said Kari Natale, Director, CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois. “Not only do students leave motivated to succeed, but we see them become more confident and better prepared than they ever imagined.” This program is funded by donations to the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois’ Mary T. Washington Wylie Opportunity Fund, which honors Mrs. Washington Wylie’s legacy by offering opportunities that promote diversity and strengthen the accounting profession.)

In its February 1978 issue, Money Magazine published a 4-page article on me in which it painted my education deductions as being improper. In the article, Money Magazine hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses I deducted were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and were a distraction. My Democrat IRS superiors were more than happy to use Money Magazine’s article to disallow my education deductions and to end my IRS career. Money Magazine and IRS would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. Further, the writer of the article disapproved of my demographics, including my religion and my national origin.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnbaldoni/2018/10/06/what-justice-kavanaugh-teaches-us-about-comportment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Partisans on both sides of the issue have made much of the hearings. Those for Kavanaugh’s nomination believe he was railroaded by the left and therefore is entitled to defend himself, even losing his temper. Those against Kavanaugh position him as an arrogant and entitled person of privilege who shows himself without the temperament to be a justice. Anyone wrongly accused has a right to defend himself – loudly and vociferously. But when that person periodically loses his cool and resorts to partisan conspiracy theories, then people become suspicious. In fact, more than 2400 law professors signed a letter attesting to Kavanaugh’s intemperance and unsuitability for the high court. Comportment is essential to leadership. Until recently, our society has always valued politicians who kept their cool, in fact, those who did not were often voted from office, or mocked.)

— 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.)

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.)

Speaking with hiring managers, human resources professionals and candidates every day offers insight into the hiring trends before they hit the mainstream. One of the most disturbing recent trends I’ve noticed is the blatant and unabashed discrimination against older employees. These are the loyal, corporate veterans in their mid-to-late-40s and older with 20-30 years of relevant experience.)

Who can and would spend 10+ hours each and every day putting the emails together and sending them out each and every morning and each and every evening?

http://www.pjstar.com/news/20180916/word-on-street-will-you-miss-us-now-that-were-gone
(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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interesting twist, GOP Congressman Peter Roskam’s team hopes 6th District voters reject Democrat Sean Casten for the same reason they turned on Donald Trump in 2016. Republicans see Casten as vitriolic — in a President Trump sort of way — which would be a turn-off for Hillary Clinton supporters. Roskam ran away with a victory two years ago and those 6th District voters also gave Clinton a 7-point victory over Trump. Roskam’s supporters point to Casten’s Twitter storm Friday as an example of the Democrat’s lack of decorum. Between 7:36 a.m. and 7:48 a.m., Casten spit out 11 tweets that addressed Roskam’s record on everything from aid to Harvey victims to the Violence Against Women Act. Casten called Roskam “amoral,” saying the congressman “gives money to those who don’t need it, so they will in turn give him money to help stay in power and give them more.” Casten spokesman Greg Bale says it’s wishful thinking on Roskam’s part that 6th District Dems would side with a Republican this November. “They’re trying to create a narrative that’s just not there. The issues that we’re seeing driving this are choice (and we know Roskam is unapologetically anti-choice) and health care. That’s what voters are paying attention to.”)

My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates held me to much higher standards because 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 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32 (licensed CPA).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But she said it was office Executive Director Randy Erford who failed to tell the commission about 27 allegations of wrongdoing sitting in a drawer, some for up to two years, while there wasn’t a full-blown LIG. “The fact that we had allegations coming in and were going unanswered, yeah, I was disappointed in that,” McConnaughay said. Beyond that, McConnaughay said she didn’t want to judge Erford without knowing what standards he was being held to, “which don’t appear to be many,” she said.)

— Are American muscle cars in peril? – TOM KRISHER (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents have always been anti-cars, anti-American nameplate cars, anti-muscle cars, and especially anti-Corvettes. What was your peak earning year? Mine was 1997 when I was 49 years old and earned $125,325/year in today’s dollars.)
http://www.herald-dispatch.com/business/are-american-muscle-cars-in-peril/article_3d7fb7d0-1ce0-50c1-8d93-3a820c3eea07.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet U.S. sales of the iconic Mustang, which leads the segment in 2018, fell 13 percent in 2016, almost 23 percent last year and 5 percent during the first half of this year. Sports car sales, including those from foreign brands, also have dropped during the past two years. Most muscle cars are owned by Baby Boomers, roughly 74 million people who were born from 1946 through 1964. But the youngest of the boomers are in their mid-50s now, and many are past their peak earning years and don’t have the money for a third car to go cruising. As the generation ages and enters retirement years, they’ll buy fewer new vehicles and fewer muscle cars will be sold.)

No one claims that they come to America because they want to assimilate and live under America’s Constitution. Anti-Americans teach immigrants how they can use America’s Constitution to get the federal government to a) give them even more preference and b) turn America into their motherland.)

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, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: LYNDON, Illinois — A woman living in Lyndon said her landlord took down her political sign and replaced it with his own. Melissa Denning had a sign up in the yard, supporting Kris Schmidt for sheriff. “Instead of coming and talking to me about the sign, [my landlord] knocked the sign down and ran it over,” Denning said. Denning said the landlord, John Crady, told her she should vote for all Democrats. Denning decided to put up a smaller “Kris Schmidt for sheriff” sign in the window of her house. But she said the landlord stopped by Thursday night and said that sign had to come down, too. “I should be able to hang the sign in my house because I do not support Booker,” Denning said. “I don’t want Booker for sheriff.”)

Ever-increasing, Democrats count on immigrants to get rid of Republicans once and for all.)
https://www.westernjournal.com/us-immigration-numbers-close-shattering-108-year-old-record/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even as President Donald Trump seeks to reform the nation’s immigration laws and policies, the face of immigration has changed to the point where immigrants make up the largest share of the U.S. population since 1910. The shift that took place between 2010 and 2017 saw Asian immigrant populations on the rise and small states far from major immigration magnets logging double-digit increases in immigrants. Overall, 44.5 million Americans were foreign-born, according to the data. Census Bureau numbers from its American Community Survey, a computer-generated statistical model based on demographic information from around the nation, show that in 2017, 13.7 percent of Americans were born abroad, according to Breitbart. The record is 14.7 percent in 1910. In 2016, the final year of the Obama administration, 13.5 percent of Americans were foreign-born. The Census Bureau projects that despite efforts by the Trump administration to curb immigration and adopt a merit-based system, immigration numbers will keep rising.)

What were you doing on September 16, 1974? I was working for the Democrats who ran IRS as a newly-promoted GS-12 Step 1 Revenue Officer in IRS’s new office in the Loop. Virtually all my superiors and coworkers were Democrat veterans. In 1974, to turn my IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, my Democrat IRS critics/opponents stressed to them that if I had not avoided the draft, I never would have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, d) buy a new Corvette in 1971, e) take graduate business courses at Loyola, f) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, g) buy a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in 1974, h) get promoted to GS-12 in 1974, i) etc.)

HOT AIR
— Its New National Identity Crisis Makes The U.S. More Like The Middle East
https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2018/09/new-national-identity-crisis-makes-u-s-like-middle-east/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of “Americanizing” the Middle East, he notes, that the U.S. has become increasingly “Middle Easternized.” The polarization of American society is so extreme that the Republican and Democratic parties resemble warring tribes that see each other as existential threats. A large number of Republicans seem to regard loyalty to the person of Donald Trump as more important than their commitment to any higher goals like the rule of law or preservation of democracy internationally. The Democratic Party, for its part, has shifted away from the broad class-based coalitions of the New Deal and Great Society to advocacy on behalf of its component identity groups: African-Americans, women, the LGBT community and the like.)

SALON
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats demonize, denigrate, and condemn young men as being sexists. Ever-increasing, young men are coming to realize a) that Democrats give tremendous preference to young women and b) that Democrats dump young men who are not successful. For example, in the federal government, with its “up-or-out” policy, Democrats dump men (BUT NOT WOMEN) who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.
