— Rauner gets his day at State Fair as Madigan calls meeting at Capitol (DIERSEN: What discourages you the most from attending Republican events at the State Fair? For me, it is knowing that far too many of the leaders who will be there are anti-Trump and/or fail/refuse to defend/advance planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and illegal drugs planks.)

— Snubbed financier says he’ll belatedly pay up for Gov. Rauner’s prize-winning steer – Kim Janssen (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who discourage Republicans from donating money to help sponsor entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-state-fair-day1-0816-chicago-inc-20170815-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Financier R.J. D’Orazio — a big Rauner supporter — confirmed to Chicago Inc. on Tuesday that he had not paid the $20,000 because “I did not get any recognition.” D’Orazio said that when he initially committed to donate $10,000 to $15,000, he was told “there would be some kind of article in the Chicago Tribune” recognizing his donation to charities including the Illinois 4-H Club. D’Orazio did say Tuesday night that he would “be happy to wire the $20,000 first thing in the morning if someone tells me where to send it.” An auction organizer told Inc. that D’Orazio had been pursued for the money until March, when organizers finally gave up. Rauner, who was hailed as the record-breaking bidder last year, told Inc. he was unaware of D’Orazio’s failure to pay. “I haven’t heard that,” he said. D’Orazio’s failure to pay means the governor has been stripped — at least for now — of his status as the owner of the most expensive livestock sold at the state fair. The program for this year’s auction lists an earlier auction won for $100,000 as the highest amount ever bid. It records Rauner’s winning bid of last year as $84,000, listing “friends of the Wisnefski family” and D’Orazio’s investment firm, D’Orazio Capital Partners, as co-donors. D’Orazio said he intended to make the donation in a private capacity, not through his firm. He had seen Rauner at a fundraiser since last year’s auction but “the governor didn’t bring it up,” he said. He added, “I apologize. I didn’t realize that it was going to be put out that the governor was buying it on his own. I was doing a favor for a friend.”)

http://www.beloitdailynews.com/article/20170815/AP/308159796
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorney General Jeff Sessions says cities that refuse to share information with federal immigration authorities show a disrespect for the rule of law that is jeopardizing the “most fundamental duty of government” — ensuring public safety. Sessions planned to highlight cities that cooperate with federal immigration officials during a visit Wednesday to Miami. He is to be accompanied by Tom Homan, acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Miami-Dade County earlier this year reversed its “sanctuary city” policy, saying the county would honor requests to hold people for extra time so they can be arrested by immigration authorities. Local officials defended the decision, saying they wanted to keep receiving Justice Department grants for community policing. Both President Donald Trump and Sessions have threatened to end such funding for so-called sanctuary cities, which are broadly defined as places that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Trump says such jurisdictions provide a haven for criminal activity. Cities say such immigrant-friendly policies actually enhance public safety. The attorney general planned in a speech Wednesday to contrast Miami’s example with cities like Chicago, which is suing the federal government over the funding threats. “Miami-Dade is an example of what is possible through hard work and a rededication to the rule of law. It is proof that the entire nation can do better,” Sessions says in speech excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “The most fundamental duty of government is to ensure the safety and liberty of its people.” “Respect for the rule of law has broken down,” Session says. “In Chicago, their so-called “sanctuary” policies are just one sad example.”)

Videos such as Questions Black People Want to Ask White People are posted on YouTube with millions of views. Netflix hosts a show called “Dear White People,” that paints white people as ignorant, and racist even if unintentionally. Overt racism had become trendy again, this time with whites as the target. This pop-racism inevitably resulted in violence, and radicalism. During the riot in Milwaukee, whites were actively targeted for assault and theft.)

— Why the Charlottesville Marchers Were Obsessed With Jews Anti-Semitic logic fueled the violence over the weekend, no matter what the president says. – EMMA GREEN (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. People are nasty. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted at Jews a) that I am 100% German national origin, b) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and c) that I was raised in Crete during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In my defense, I stress a) that while all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany, it was a long time ago – during the 1840s and 1850s, b) that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, c) that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, c) that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F, and d) 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.)
