(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner and other Illinois Republicans rallied at the Benedictine University in Lisle on the eve of Tuesday’s election. Rauner was wrapping up a 9-day bus tour of the state with one last attempt to get his supporters to the polls. If we get the turnout, we’re going to win it,” predicted Rauner. He was joined by other Republicans including Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The two reminded voters that if Rauner loses the election Democrats will control the house and the governor’s mansion. “We have a governor that’s always stood up to Mike Madigan, and we have a governor who is going to stand up to the person that Mike Madigan appointed which is J.B. Pritzker,” said Sanguinetti. Rauner asked his supports to remind their neighbors to go the polls on Tuesday. He said voters have been telling him, “Stay strong, don’t back down don’t give in. You’re on the right track. Madigan has got to go.”)

— 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.”)

Will those who dominate the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. move to a) strike the aforesaid planks from the IRP platform and b) banish those from the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC who support the aforesaid planks?

— How Many Guns Do Americans Own? – Joel Eastwood (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, if you are a Republican, Democrats demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of. Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they want to get rid of Republicans once and for all, and especially Republicans who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— Is the U.S. doing enough to fight anti-Semitism? – Joshua Barajas (DIERSEN: What have you done to fight anti-Semitism? Many of my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were anti-Semitic. Many of the aforesaid did not want to supervise, work with, or work for the Jewish woman who I volunteered to work for in 1990 and continued to work for until she and my other Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. 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. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/is-the-u-s-doing-enough-to-fight-anti-semitism
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shooting also comes amid a growing worry over far-right extremism. A 2017 report from the Government Accountability Office found that since the 9/11 attacks, far-right extremists were responsible for three times as many attacks as Islamic extremists, 62 incidents compared with 23. Islamic extremist attacks have killed more people — 119, compared with the 106 tied to far-right extremists.)

Needless-to-say, of course, to paint me as being a horrible loser, if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress all the many years (including 1980 and 1997-2017) in which my wife had more income than I did since we got married in 1978. They would stress that while my wife earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986, she has no professional certifications, and she has no professional licenses — I earned a bachelor’s degree (management-NIU) when I was 21 in 1970 and master’s degrees when I was 27 (business-Loyola), 31 (accounting-DePaul), and 48 (finance-IIT), b) 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 professional license (CPA) when I was 32.)

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.)

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.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-trump-maga-rally-illinois-20181027-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner showed up at the rally despite years of actively distancing himself from the controversial president — at least until recently when the governor sought to try to unify core social conservatives angry with his signature on laws expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. Trump made no mention of Rauner, who sat off to the side in bleachers far behind the main podium. Wearing a motorcycle vest and a baseball cap affirming the pro-police message “Back the Blue,” Rauner did not address the audience. While Rauner was Downstate, Democratic challenger J.B. Pritzker was campaigning in the west and northwest suburbs while adding $10 million to his own already record-shattering self-funding mark, bringing it to more than $171.5 million since he launched his campaign fund in March of last year. In a campaign fundraising email appeal for other Democratic candidates, Pritzker said Rauner’s attendance at the Trump rally was a “final desperate attempt to save his failing campaign.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump ignores Rauner at southern Illinois rally; praises Bost, Hultgren, Davis – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: According to this article, Roskam is “wooing voters who are turned off by Trump’s divisive politics and scorched rhetoric.” What do you say to those who advise Roskam to woo anti-Trumps by dumping Trump supporting Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? Since 2000, those advisors have blamed Diersen and his emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/trump-ignores-rauner-southern-illinois-rally-praises-bost-hultgren-davis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who must reclaim the GOP base to win re-election, showed up in the audience at President Donald Trump’s southern Illinois rally on Saturday, though Trump never mentioned the governor in his remarks nor invited him to the stage. If it was a deliberate snub, it was a remarkable rebuff — a Republican president ignoring a GOP governor who is struggling to win a second term against Democrat J.B. Pritzker. Or Rauner’s team may have said it’s OK to ignore him as he continues to try to have it both ways when it comes to Trump. While avoiding Rauner, Trump did give a big boost to three of the four Republican Illinois House members facing tough re-election races: Reps. Mike Bost, Rodney Davis and, in a big surprise, Randy Hultgren. Hultgren traveled more than 300 miles from his Chicago area district to Murphysboro to plant his flag with the president in the unannounced appearance. I heard that Rauner’s team was trying to arrange a last minute private meeting with Trump, a move calculated to try to appease the GOP base he has alienated so much that he barely won re-nomination in the March Illinois GOP primary. I’m not sure that private meeting ever took place. I did see Rauner pictured in the crowd standing next to Republican National Committee Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, who did visit with Trump at the rally. It’s hard to see how this fence straddling will work well for Rauner. While he avoided being caught in the same camera frame as Trump — which would depress his support among the independents and moderate Republicans he needs — he still was not embraced by Trump. Trump is very popular with the segments of the Republican base Rauner knows he needs. Rauner on Saturday was trying to catch a ride on Trump’s coat tails without paying much of a price. The rally was billed as a boost for Bost. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., in a fight with Democratic nominee Seat Casten in the 6th district, was the only one of the four GOP targets who did not attend the Trump rally, which made sense since his re-election depends on wooing voters who are turned off by Trump’s divisive politics and scorched rhetoric. Hultgren is in a tight race with Democratic nominee Lauren Underwood in the 14th congressional district, in prior years safe GOP turf. Hultgren needs Trump’s help to turn out Republicans who otherwise sit out mid-terms. Hultgren may have decided to journey to Murphysboro, near Carbondale, because former Vice President Joe Biden headlines a rally for Underwood on Wednesday at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, where blues singer Keb’ Mo’ will also perform. “We need your vote,” Hultgren said to the crowd, though he was hundreds of miles away from his voters. Bost is facing a strong challenge for the 12th district seat from Democrat Brendan Kelly, the St. Clair County State’s Attorney. Davis is running against Democrat contender BetsyDirksen Londrigan in the 13th district, anchored in central Illinois.)

— American anti-Semitism: It’s getting worse – Jennifer Rubin (DIERSEN: Many of my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were anti-Semitic. Many of the aforesaid did not want to supervise, work with, or work for the Jewish woman who I volunteered to work for in 1990 and continued to work for until she and my other Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. 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. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)

— A quarter of college students could develop PTSD because of the 2016 election, a new study suggests – Isaac Stanley-Becker (DIERSEN: What might cause you to develop PTSD? For me, it is my Democrat superiors’ success in wasting my federal career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. The chances my developing PTSD because of that increases every time those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican make it clear that they side with my Democrat superiors.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/24/quarter-college-students-could-develop-ptsd-because-election-new-study-suggests/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are college students “snowflakes” — triggered, traumatized and altogether too delicate for the real world? Or are they apathetic — so unconcerned that they can’t be bothered to purchase stamps to send in their absentee ballots? The two characterizations of young Americans are in conflict, observed Melissa Hagan, an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University. Her research has led her to believe that neither captures what’s going on in the minds of young people. Their intense reaction to political events runs contrary to the charge of apathy, she said, while the emotional trauma they report should not be dismissed as hypersensitivity. With a team of researchers, she surveyed 769 introductory psychology students at Arizona State University in January and February 2017, asking about their satisfaction with the 2016 election, whether they were upset about the outcome and whether the results of the race had affected their close relationships.)

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.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE: In 6th District, Democrat Sean Casten says remarks on Trump’s tactics he’s apologized for ‘needed to be said’ – Patrick M. O’Connell and Mike Riopell (DIERSEN: According to this article, “Roskam has said Casten’s campaign demeanor reflects Trump’s temperament.” What do you say those around Roskam who hint/imply/argue/shout that I reflect Trump’s temperament and even worse things? They have done everything that they can a) to stop me from finding out about Roskam’s press conferences, b) to stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s press conferences, and c) stop me from attending and reporting on Roskam’s fundraisers. These newcoming scapegoaters blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for Roskam’s problems, for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I have been helping elect and reelect Roskam since 2000. Both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

— Ives urges vote for legislative candidates, not governor – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-fritz-kaegi-democratic-mailer-20181022-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Jeanne Ives, the Wheaton Republican who lost a March bid for the GOP nomination for governor to Rauner by 3 percentage points, is urging a vote for Republican legislative candidates and not Illinois’ chief executive. In an appearance on KFTK-FM 97.1, a conservative talk station in the St. Louis suburb of Florrisant, Mo., that reaches southwestern Illinois, Ives criticized both Rauner and Republican state Sen. Sam McCann of Plainview who is running for governor under the Conservative Party banner. “The Republican Party’s in complete disarray. Let’s face it, Rauner’s going to lose, in my estimation,” Ives said, adding, “So, the fight is in the Illinois House and in the Illinois Senate. Those are your first line of defense against the bad policies going forward.” Ives, who has not endorsed a candidate for governor, said there are Republicans “all over the place as to what they’re going to do on the governor’s race,” in part because of Rauner’s signature on laws expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. She said people who thought they “could find a conservative in Sam McCann” shouldn’t trust the state senator because of mailers he’s sending out attacking some social conservatives as backers of Rauner and of being less than Republicans. “So now conservatives have been betrayed once again and they have no place to go,” Ives said.)

KIPLINGER
— Retirees, Go Ahead and Spend a Little (More) Successful savers have prospered by living below their means. Frugality often becomes a preference—sometimes to an excessive degree. – ANNE KATES SMITH (DIERSEN: Since my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have been able to increase my retirement saving because of my wife’s income.)
https://www.kiplinger.com/article/spending/T031-C023-S002-how-frugal-retirement-savers-can-spend-wisely.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the majority of retirees are spending down their assets surprisingly slowly during the first two decades of retirement. People who retired with $200,000 to $500,000 in savings, not including their homes, had spent a bit more than one-fourth of their assets, EBRI found. Those with more assets — $500,000 or more — had parted with even less, spending down less than 12% of savings over a 20-year span. And about one-third of the retirees in the study increased their savings over the period.)
