— 45 years ago: Richard Nixon’s ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ (DIERSEN: What were you doing 45 years ago? I was 25 years old. I worked for IRS in both its Joliet office and in its Chicago office at 63rd and Halsted as a GS-11 Revenue Officer (currently $67,638/year). I had worked for IRS since June of 1971. I lived in a townhome in University Park that I had bought new a year earlier. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new 2 years earlier and a 1962 Chevy BelAir. I took one graduate business course at a time at Loyola. My mother and brother lived in Crete.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Warren ancestry brings attention to how tribes decide membership – AP (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? One of my worst demographics is that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. 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 themselves, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)

— Ignore that half-million dollars: Republican Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti was on Quad Cities radio on Thursday to promote Gov. Rauner and told listeners the campaign doesn’t rely on polls. “We never relied on polls four years ago. We’re not relying upon polls now,” Sanguinetti said on WOC-AM in Davenport, Iowa, when asked about surveys showing the Rauner ticket trailing Democrat J.B. Pritzker by double digits. “Yeah, we do have internals that say something different. But so what? Right now we’re getting out there, we’re communicating with the people in all our counties,” she said. Team Rauner has spent $537,704 on polling since April 2017, including $143,000 from July through September of this year, state campaign records show. For the campaign four years ago, Rauner’s campaign did not directly identify any spending on polling. – Rick Pearson

Other meeting attendees included Ron Almiron, Roger Bohn, Lori Carlson, Joe Caruso, Bob Cherry, Jeff Cooper, Lynn Crane, Flo Dangelo, Tim Elliott (DuPage County Board), Sal Falbo (Milton Township Trustee), Mike Formento, Hide Holan, Babette Holder, Marty Keller (MTRCC Vice Chairman), Bob Krzyzewski, Larry LaVanway, Alex LeVan, Chris LeVan (MTRCC Chairman and Milton Township Assessor), Carl Lofgren, Paula McGowen (DuPage County Regional School Board Member), Bobby McNeily, Ron Menna, Dave Molitor (Milton Township Trustee), John Monino (MTRCC Secretary and Milton Township Trustee), Gary Muehlfelt (Milton Township Highway Commissioner), Barb Murphy (DuPage County Republican Party Chairwoman), Yadav Nathwani (MTRCC Treasurer and Milton Township Trustee), Nicole Prater (Winfield Township Republican Central Committee Chairman), Mary Rash, Pat Ryan, Janet Shaw, B.J. Slinger, Chuck Smith, and Tim Whelan (DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner). I have been a MTRCC member since 1999, and since then, I have had the best MTRCC meeting and MTRCC fundraiser attendance record. In 2002, I got MTRCC to begin holding its monthly meetings at the Wheaton Bowl, and MTRCC has met there ever since. In 2000, under MTRCC Chairman Randy Hultgren, I published MTRCC’s first website and I served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. Both Hultgren and Roskam endorsed me when I first ran for Precinct Committeeman in 2000. Since 2000, I have included reports on MTRCC meetings and fundraisers in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-peter-roskam-sean-casten-illinois-6th-20181011-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam rallied die-hard Republicans in a private room at the Wheaton Bowl’s banquet hall on Wednesday, Ed Raab was outside keeping watch over the check-in counter, the clatter of pins echoing across the lanes. “If I wasn’t working,” Raab said, “I’d be right in there with them.” Roskam shook a few hands, and chatted with campaign volunteers, local precinct committeemen and DuPage County candidates before he strode to the podium for a short speech. “I’m incredibly energized by this campaign,” Roskam said. “I’m incredibly heartened by all of your support. … Now is the time for us to press forward.” Behind him, next to stacks of yard signs, was a lifesize cardboard cutout of President Donald Trump flashing a thumbs-up. Someone had placed a red “Make America Great Again” cap atop the cardboard Trump’s head. . .To win, Roskam likely needs to strike a balance between keeping Trump supporters on board, but also preventing independent and centrist Republican voters from abandoning him even if they don’t like the president. “The people in this district, I don’t think they’d do that,” said Raab, who credited the biggest take-home pay he’s ever had in 42 years working at the bowling alley to the Republican tax overhaul Roskam championed. “I think they’re pretty true to the people they’re backing.” . . . “The reason the national Democratic Party believes that Congressman Roskam’s district is in play is solely based on President Trump,” said Kirk Dillard, a former DuPage County Republican chairman, state senator and Illinois governor candidate. Casten has tried to get into a position to capitalize, calling Trump the “worst president of our generation.” He raised twice as much money as Roskam last quarter, his $2.6 million buttressed by millions of dollars in advertising from a group backed by House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The latest spots hit Roskam over taxes and health care, saying it’s time he “checked out of Congress.” . . . “Peter wins close races because he is an exceptionally hard-working candidate, incredibly articulate speaker and has a volunteer base of dedicated individuals second to none,” Dillard said. Since that election 12 years ago, Democrats have made inroads in Roskam’s home base of DuPage County. President Barack Obama won the county twice, and the prosperous patchwork of suburbs recently has sent two Democratic state lawmakers to Springfield. Babette Holder, a Republican committeewoman in Wheaton, said the Trump factor matters “a lot” in this race. “I’ve never seen a midterm like this before,” Holder said. “I think it’ll be a big challenge this time.” But her hope is that when voters examine the issues, they’ll turn to Roskam, who she said breaks from the party and the president when necessary. “I am worried,” Holder said, “I’m not going to lie to you and say I’m not worried. It’ll come down to turnout.” . . . At the bowling alley on Wednesday, Raab said Roskam isn’t perfect, but he’s still preferable to the alternative. “He’s done some things I don’t agree with, but I like him a lot better than his opponent,” Raab said.)

— Coming Soon to Facebook: Lots of Extreme Political Ads Campaign strategists say the social-media giant’s advertising platform rewards extreme messaging – Georgia Wells and Deepa Seetharaman (DIERSEN: Of course, you never have, and you never will see any kind of paid advertising in GOPUSA emails or on www.gopillinois.com. But if I did take money for such advertising, which activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. would take out ads in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and on www.gopillinois.com? What would they would they promote with their advertising?)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/coming-soon-to-facebook-lots-of-extreme-political-ads-1535707802
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Campaign strategists are gearing up to flood Facebook with inflammatory and polarizing ads heading into the midterm elections, saying its advertising platform rewards extreme messaging more than other venues. Such tactics often backfire, partly because extreme ads can be hidden by those who find them disagreeable, Facebook Inc. said. The disconnect highlights the social network’s often-controversial role as a political tool, where Facebook wants to be viewed as a promoter of healthy debate while some believe its platform contributes to divisive civic discourse. Although Facebook didn’t start the trend toward more inflammatory political ads, many candidates and consultants working on midterm campaigns said its cost structure and ability to target narrow slices of voters makes it a uniquely effective tool for motivating people to act in support of a cause or a candidate. “You’re not trying to persuade anybody on Facebook,” said Jeff Roe, whose political-consulting firm Axiom Strategies is one of the biggest buyers of political advertising, largely on behalf of Republican candidates. “You’re trying to reach a different part of people’s brains.”)

However, that was a pretext. In 1989, they pulled out all the stops to get rid of me. They threw me off audits of IRS which were always in-town, assigned me to a nasty 6-month out-of-town audit, gave me unfair performance expectations, and gave me an unfair performance appraisal. The real reason why they did the aforesaid was that in 1988, I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Because of the aforesaid, in 1989, I asked Henry Hyde to come to my defense.)

— Fixing ageism and rethinking retirement – Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.lohud.com/story/news/2018/08/29/sell-date-employees-ageism-and-rethinking-retirement/1086814002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ageism is widespread and is termed “an insidious practice which has harmful effects on the health of older adults,” by the World Health Organization. Political commentator Bill Maher famously called it the “last acceptable prejudice in America.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg once publicly noted: “Young people are just smarter.” With 10,000 Baby Boomers reaching 65 every day — a trend which began in 2011 and is set to continue until 2029 — it is past the time to have a conversation around attitudes toward retirement. After all, since the time Social Security set the retirement eligibility age at 65 in 1936, life expectancy at birth has gone up by 20 years. . .Age discrimination occurs when an employer treats an applicant or employee less favorably because of his or her age, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. . .Ageism is hard to prove Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects individuals who are over the age of 40 from discrimination in employment. Half a century later, age discrimination in the workplace remains notoriously hard to prove. Of the 18,376 cases filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2017, only 2.2 percent were found to have a “reasonable cause.” . . . 5 Signs of Age Discrimination (Source: AARP) According to the AARP, there are signs older workers can watch out for: Older workers are being fired or offered buyouts, and younger ones are being hired. The most common term for this is “culture fit.” You are reassigned to unpleasant duties. You start hearing tacky comments about your age. You stop getting raises. Your performance reviews tank.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Why It’s so Hard for Republicans to Win in Illinois Democrats and Republicans were once evenly matched in Illinois. So how did the Party of Lincoln fall behind in his own homeland? – EDWARD MCCLELLAND
http://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/August-2018/Why-Its-So-Hard-for-Republicans-to-Win-in-Illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s possible to trace the divergent fortunes of the Republican and Democratic parties in Illinois by looking at the voting histories of two counties: DuPage, in the suburbs of Chicago, and Williamson, in Southern Illinois coal country. DuPage was once a bulwark of the Illinois Republican Party, having supported its presidential candidates since the days of Abraham Lincoln. After World War II, DuPage’s villages burgeoned with middle-class homeowners who had fled Chicago’s corrupt political machine, and considered Republicans the party of good government and fiscal responsibility. . .How times have changed. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won Illinois by an even larger margin than her husband, but she won only 12 counties, most of them in the Chicago area. She won DuPage County 53%-38%, and lost Williamson County 67%-28%.)

http://www.pravdareport.com/news/russia/kremlin/29-08-2018/141468-putin_pension-0/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that one should introduce administrative and even criminal responsibility in Russia for dismissing employees of pre-retirement age. “I deem it necessary to introduce administrative and even criminal responsibility for employers for dismissing workers of pre-retirement age, as well as for refusing to hire citizens for work because of their age,” Putin said in a televised address to the nation in connection with the widely discussed pension reform in Russia. One should envisage such responsibility within in the framework of additional guarantees that will protect interests of older citizens on the labor market. Today, the retirement age in Russia is 60 years for men and 55 years for women. This retirement age was introduced during the 1930s. The need to raise the retirement age in Russia has been discussed for a long time already due to the increased life expectancy and the inability to provide a decent pension while the number of employed individuals in the country is decreasing, and the number of pensioners is growing. In most countries of the world, the retirement age is 60-65 years.)

So were Sam Yagan, then co-founder of OKCupid, as well as Obama for America veteran Harper Reed and Lightbank partner Paul Lee, to name a few. We’ve since expanded the feature to an annual list of the 50 tech people you need to know now, and we’ve embraced founders of large companies as well as small ones while sprinkling in more financiers, heavyweights, connectors, dreamers, gurus and coders. Over the years, Crain’s technology reporter John Pletz, thanks to his deep and wide knowledge of the sector, has done an incredible job of producing each year’s list, keeping it fresh with new, diverse names while burnishing readers’ understanding of the perennial power players who have remained relevant year in, year out. This year, however, the editors threw John a curveball. With our ongoing Woman Up Project in mind, we asked him to create an all-female Tech 50 for 2018.)

— Seating squabble: Thursday’s Lincoln Forum debate between Republican Rep. Peter Roskam and Democratic challenger Sean Casten is sold out. The event was only supposed to have 100 audience guests, ideally supporters evenly split between the two candidates. But when tickets went on sale, Casten’s supporters gobbled them up. Lincoln Forum co-founders Pat Brady, the former state GOP chairman, and Eric Adelstein, a Dem strategist, decided out of fairness to sell an additional 70 tickets to Roskam supporters. “The Lincoln Forum is nonpartisan and we have a duty to have a balanced room,” Brady said. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the two times that Pat Brady spoke at TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois meetings.)

UNION LEADER
— Unions support workers – RICHARD BACKUS, New Boston (DIERSEN: IRS’s and GAO’s 40-hour work week and annual leave policies helped me to a) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and e) earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)
http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20180718/OPINION04/180719439
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Right-to-work is not what it seems. Before labor unions, factory workers toiled six days a week, 12 hours a day. They often worked alongside children as young as 5 years old. Pay was terrible; there were no health benefits or pensions. It was the unions that gave us the 5-day, 40-hour work week, pensions, and other benefits. It was the unions that gave us the shared prosperity of the 1940s and ‘50s. Since then the unions have been under attack, to the point where we have the unconscionable situation of full-time workers at Walmart needing to go on welfare. Gov. Chris Sununu is a champion of “right-to-work” legislation. And now, in Janus vs. AFCSME, the Supreme Court (with Neil Gorsuch on the bench) has said it’s okay for employees not to contribute union dues. The phrase “right-to-work” sounds innocent enough, but make no mistake, it intends to weaken unions and increase corporate profits. We now have the most unequal society since the Gilded Age of the 1890s. And Republicans, the party of the 1 percent, as the recent tax bill demonstrated, have already signaled they are coming after Medicare and Social Security. If you care about fairness, equity, and a society that works for everyone, vote accordingly in November.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Sam’s a sham – Editorial
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2018-06-27/editorial-sams-sham.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The only people happier that McCann to see him enter the contest between Republican incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrat J.B. Pritzker are Democrats who hope that McCann, a nominal Republican, will draw enough votes from Rauner to give Pritzker the win. The Democratic Governors Association issued a statement gloatingly predicting that McCann’s candidacy will draw hard-line conservatives from the GOP, further complicating Rauner’s efforts to unify the party behind him. “Just when he needs to turn to the general election, Bruce Rauner will have to keep refighting the battles of the primary,” said DGA Illinois communications director Sam Salustro. McCann, who is running as a representative of a new Conservative Party, indicated that he’s running as a proponent of gun rights and lower taxes. To hear him talk, he’s a proud conservative ideologue. But that’s just rhetoric. McCann is running — and he knows he’s running — to ensure the defeat of Rauner, with whom he has publicly crossed swords, and the election of Pritzker. . .Second, Rauner has alienated conservatives, particularly with his decision to sign legislation providing taxpayer-funded abortions. He barely won the primary against little-known state Rep. Jeanne Ives, who challenged Rauner from the right. Whether Rauner can get those conservatives back remains undetermined. He keeps reminding them that he’s all that stands between them and complete Democratic control of the state. But ideologues of both the right and left can’t bear any candidate who, in their view, double-crosses them on even a single issue. In that sense, McCann’s candidacy is a direct consequence of Gov. Rauner’s own actions, a hurdle that he unintentionally created and one that will be difficult to overcome.)

DECATUR DAILY

(FROM THE LETTER: I don’t know how you can do it. You continue to frame the immigration crisis as a struggle between persecuted families yearning for a better life opposed by hard-hearted white nativists determined to maintain racial purity. Right before your eyes, elements of both political parties are trying to impose slavery — not legal slavery, but economic and political slavery on a whole class of people. They talk humanity, but their purpose is profit and control: 1. Cheap labor from people who won’t or can’t complain; 2. A servant class who can be manipulated because of their lack of education and their dependence. You deny that you are in favor of open borders, yet you oppose any workable effort to stanch the flow: a wall, zero tolerance, moratoriums, and most of all, deportation for those who broke the law getting here as a deterrent. Your idea of immigration reform is amnesty for all who will take a token pledge. You appear not to be concerned about what happens to children who arrive here unescorted. They vanish from their foster homes, and you don’t consider what hells are being imposed on them as they’re scattered through the country. You refuse to say how many new immigrants is enough and you oppose setting standards for those we accept. You quote Emma Lazarus, but you don’t recognize that immigration was once a controlled process. You try to shame us for opposing this travesty while ignoring the results on the Americans impacted. Speak up. Line it out. What is your idea of a compassionate and workable immigration policy without the platitudes, histrionics, and tear-jerking?)
