CHICAGO TRIBUNE

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–media-facing-hostility-20181029-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While President Donald Trump ‘s attacks on the media are usually centered on national outlets like CNN and The New York Times, the attitudes unleashed have filtered down to journalists on the street covering news in local communities across the country. When a president describes the press as enemies of the people, “attitudes shift and the field crews get the brunt of the abuse,” she wrote. “And it’s not just from one side. We get it all the way around, pretty much on a daily basis.” The Radio Television Digital News Association is spreading safety and self-defense tips to journalists, most notably advising limits on the use of one-person news crews. The RTDNA has begun compiling anti-press incidents, like last week when an intruder was shot after kicking down glass doors at Fox’s local station in Washington. The National Press Photographers Association is developing workshops to spread safety advice to its members.)

— Why Not ‘Trump Retirement Accounts’? If you want to cut middle-class taxes, go where the money is: Social Security – Tom Giovanetti (DIERSEN: To get my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-not-trump-retirement-accounts-1541025589
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To stir up excitement before the midterms, President Trump last week said he plans to cut middle-class taxes again in the coming year. The trouble is that Republicans have been so successful in cutting taxes in recent years that 44% of Americans no longer pay any federal income tax at all, and many more pay very little. After last year’s tax reform, a family of four earning $80,000 a year could pay as little as $2,300 in income tax: an effective 3% rate. A further 10% cut wouldn’t amount to much. On the other hand, low- and middle-income workers do send the government a large share of their earnings in the form of payroll taxes. That same family of four pays $12,240 at the 15.3% combined rate for Social Security and Medicare. If you want to cut taxes for middle-class and low-income workers, that’s where you have to do it. But instead of an impotent income-tax cut or, say, a payroll-tax cut of 4% of income, why not redirect that same 4% into personal retirement accounts for every worker? Call them “Trump Retirement Accounts.” With no decline in disposable income, American workers would suddenly be investing for retirement at market rates in accounts they own and control, instead of relying on Congress to keep Social Security solvent.)

— Pre-Existing Conditions Have Become One of the Hottest 2018 Midterm Election Issues. Here’s What Is at Stake – ELIZABETH O’BRIEN (DIERSEN: What pre-existing conditions do you have? I have type 2 diabetes. I am obese (BMI 30.7). My vision cannot be corrected to 20/30, let alone 20/20. I need cataract surgery on both eyes. I have partial red/green color blindness. I do not get enough exercise. I sit in a chair 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Because I am a federal retiree, my wife and I pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of health, dental, and vision insurance. Knowing that federal retirees and their spouses have lifetime membership in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program (https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/) helped me endure the many negatives associated with being a federal employee for almost 30 years.)

— Statehouse Democrats have a better than 50 percent chance of winning that supermajority they so want, according to new research. Political forecaster Carl Klarner has factored in a range of data points to determine the probability of victory—Democrat or Republican—in the 5,500 state legislative races nationwide. His analysis shows Illinois Democrats have a 57.4 percent chance of getting 60 percent or more House seats for a veto-proof supermajority. – Shia Kapos

— Placing blame where it belongs
https://capitolfax.com/2018/11/01/placing-blame-where-it-belongs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: MCQUEARY: “The environment in Illinois politics is telling. Among the least-represented voices in Springfield is that of conservative women. The House and Senate, made up of 177 members, include 61 women of both parties. That number should be higher, but it’s not abysmal. Of those women, the majority are Democrats and mostly lean left. The House right now has only 13 Republican women. The Senate has two. Let me repeat that data point for emphasis: Of the House’s 118 members, 13 are GOP women. Of the Senate’s 59 members, only two are Republican women. If the movement is truly about lifting women, shouldn’t it be focused on raising those numbers? Bringing more capable, opinion-diverse women into the pink-hat pavilion?” MILLER: “As I reminded subscribers earlier today, three Republicans have resigned from the Illinois Senate since the summer of 2017. All three were women and all three women were replaced by men. One of the women who stepped down was Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno. The Senate Republicans elected a man, Sen. Bill Brady, to replace her. The #MeToo movement is not some top-down political action committee. The Republican Party, particularly in the Illinois Senate, is the entity truly in need of a dressing-down here. After all, they’re the ones who recruit the candidates and they’re the ones who exert influence on local retiree replacement decisions.”)

In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American.

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTOS OF CASTEN AND ROSKAM: Where Casten, Roskam find support as election approaches – Marie Wilson
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181029/where-casten-roskam-find-support-as-election-approaches
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The district in the past two elections has handily gone to Roskam. In 2016, he beat Democrat Amanda Howland, 59 percent to 41 percent. In 2014, he did even better, winning against Democrat Michael Mason with 67 percent of ballots cast. Roskam’s closest call was his first House election, when in 2016 he claimed 51 percent of the vote to edge out now-U. S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth. This time, early political analyses called the race a tossup. Fox News still does. So does political news website FiveThirtyEight, which Sunday night gave Roskam a 50.5 percent chance of winning. But now, at least three other sources — The Cook Political Report, Sabato’s Crystal Ball from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics and Inside Elections nonpartisan analysis from Nathan Gonzales — say the race “leans” or “tilts” Democratic.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Immigration may be on the national stage, but in Illinois it’s also a key issue in the governor’s race – Elvia Malagon and Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents NOT want you to talk to political reporters about? My critics/opponents do NOT want me to talk to political reporters a) about my support for the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party and Republican Party platforms; b) about my support for Trump, Roskam, Rauner and all the other Republicans who have won primary races; c) about my wanting the $10,000 SALT cap to be increased to $20,000 for married filing jointly; d) about what I have done to help elect Trump, Roskam, Rauner, and the rest of the Republican candidates on general election ballots in my precinct; e) about the seven 4X3 Roskam signs and the two 4X4 Roskam signs that are being displayed in my precinct; or f) that both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

— Gov. Bruce Rauner went to Murphysboro to see President Trump, but didn’t get a meeting or a shoutout – Rick Pearson
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-monday-20181028-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Rauner got no mention from Trump, it’s unclear if the governor was present for what might be considered an ignominious shoutout that the president gave to a onetime Illinoisan who is a Republican gubernatorial candidate — John Cox. Cox is running for governor of California though he is viewed as having little chance in the heavily Democratic state. Cox took on perennial candidate status in Illinois last decade in unsuccessfully running for a variety of offices, including Congress and U.S. Senate. In his quest for public office, he mounted a 2008 bid for president, which also ended in failure. “He should win. John Cox. He should win,” Trump told the Illinois audience. “He’s so good. It’s a hard place to win but he should win.”)
— No time for questions: Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti was at Trump’s rally in southern Illinois on Saturday. She entered the airplane hangar venue through the entrance used for VIP invitees and the media a few hours before Trump spoke. Asked by a reporter about the rally after going through security, she said she wasn’t allowed to give interviews. – Mike Riopell

In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump also referred to the caravan of migrants fleeing violence in Central America — many of whom are now heading north through Mexico. He said the opposing party would welcome the migrants into the United States. “The Democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal immigrants and they want to sign them up for free health care, free welfare, free education and for the right to vote,” he said. “It’s so unfair that people just walk across the border because our Democrat laws are no good,” he added.)

She fears the number of military troops being sent is not enough. “We have no idea who’s coming through our borders and again, as far as I’m concerned it’s our government who’s responsible for the safety and security of our country first, our citizens first,” said Pulido.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Because We Live Here – Pedro Gonzalez
https://www.amgreatness.com/2018/10/27/because-we-live-here/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What surges toward the United States from the south is not a “caravan,” it is an invading force. Mothers who take money from leftist activists to drag their children on for thousands of miles in front of cameras are not brave, they are mercenary. Men who tear apart metal barriers and cry, “Donald Trump is the antichrist,” are not “just looking for work,” they are looking for a fight and are daring anyone to stop them. Just as well, I would refer the “free market” fearmongers, who insist that America needs a constant influx of fresh “diversity” as tribute to satiate the Invisible Hand, to Chilton Williamson Jr.: “You could ‘prove’ to me that, without the immediate transference of the entire population of Hong Kong to the state of California, the United States would be in a major economic depression by the middle of next year, and I would still be against transferring it there.” Yet even as we scramble to address the threat before us, another rears its head. There is now a second mob 2,500 strong organizing to march on the United States.)
