DAILY HERALD
— With changing political landscape, outgoing state Sen. Rooney saw defeat coming – Christopher Placek (DIERSEN: How successful were the Democrats in your precinct in a) promoting hatred against Trump and b) getting voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181117/with-changing-political-landscape-outgoing-state-sen-rooney-saw-defeat-coming
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Outgoing Republican state Sen. Tom Rooney of Rolling Meadows is staying out of elected politics for now — if not at least keeping a toe in his local GOP organization in an effort to build it back into a party of ideas, he said. But Rooney, considered a moderate in some Republican circles, said he doesn’t see an immediate path forward for the party in suburban elections. He attributed his recent narrow defeat at the polls to suburban dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump. “Absolutely no doubt people had nationalized this election, and quite frankly I spoke to people at doors who said, ‘Sorry, I’m not doing anything with an R,'” said Rooney, a Marco Rubio presidential delegate who even wrote in the Florida senator on the 2016 general election ballot. “The suburban vote is tough for Republicans at this point.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, Mayor Michael Gresk and two at-large council members — Suzanne Fitch and John Prendiville — have terms that expire in May. Gresk, first elected in 2007, is stepping down after three terms. Prendiville and Councilman Phil Suess already have announced that they will run to succeed Gresk. That means no incumbent will be running for Prendiville’s at-large seat on the council. Fitch has said she intends to seek re-election to her at-large seat. The Wheaton City Council is composed of six representatives and the mayor. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large.)

They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platforms. They will focus on driving out of the DuPage GOP those like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (I am 70), non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Chicago Tribune, Democrats also won at least 80 percent of all the precincts in Naperville, a city where just-ousted Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost only two precincts combined in 2016. “It signals that it’s a time for purging and rebuilding,” Ruhl added. “The focus needs to be on identifying our voter base and growing that base in an upright manner where we’re working with a more diverse group of people and educating them on all the things we know need to happen for this state.”)

YAHOO NEWS
— First They Came For Acosta. Why We (PEN America) Sued Trump Before He Acts Again – Jeff Berman and Jennifer Boylan (DIERSEN: What is PEN America’s position on those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who since 2000 have treated me like Trump treats Acosta? Will PEN America sue them?)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/first-came-acosta-why-sued-214850036.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This President has done far more than retaliate against one White House reporter. Rather, he has mounted a sustained campaign of retaliation and threats against an array of journalists and media companies he perceives as critics, ranging from interfering with a merger to threats to revoke media broadcast licenses. This President has demonstrated time and again that, no matter the damage to our democracy, he will make outrageous, chilling, and dangerous remarks to and about journalists. He has that right and nothing in sight will stop him. But when he and his administration take action to curtail the exercise of First Amendment rights, it has not only gone too far morally, it has gone too far legally. That’s why PEN America, an organization of writers and literary professionals whose mission is celebrating and defending free expression, sued President Trump in federal court to stop him. And it’s why Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit with a mission to prevent our democracy from sliding into autocracy, is representing PEN America along with the Yale Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic, going after President Trump in federal court to stop him. We are suing President Trump for using the levers of government power he oversees to punish the media for coverage he dislikes, not for his verbal attacks on the press. The President’s retaliatory actions toward news entities harken not just back to the McCarthy era, when the creative community was directly targeted by the government, they are straight out of the modern authoritarian’s playbook. Where Trump has his “enemy of the people,” Stalin had his “vrag naroda” (enemy of the nation). Where Trump has his “lying media,” Hitler had his “lugenpresse” (lying press).)

Ahern says that “political observers note Mapes will now be allowed to use those same connections and resources that he acquired after years of experience to help get things done in Springfield for his clients.” Every day, to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out, I use what I learned working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,323.)

DAILY HERALD
— California GOP ponders way forward after stunning losses – AP (DIERSEN: What is the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) pondering? Has your representative on the IRP State Central Committee sought your input? What is on the agenda for the December 1, 2018 IRP SCC meeting? Where, and at what time, will the meeting be held? Will public comments be allowed? What will be discussed in the open part of the meeting and what will be discussed in executive session part of the meeting?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20181116/news/311169983/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The California Republican Party isn’t salvageable at this time,” concluded Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly. “The Grand Old Party is dead – partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics,” she wrote in a column on the website CALmatters. Shawn Steel, one of the state’s two Republican National Committee members, said her party has “reached the point of desperation.” “The party’s problems have been around longer and run much deeper than any one person. From money to grassroots organization, California Republicans are completely outmatched,” Steel wrote on the Washington Examiner website. A generation ago, the state was once a reliable win for the GOP in presidential elections. And in Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners delivered winning margins for Republicans year after year. But a surge in immigrants transformed the state and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians has outnumbered whites since 1998. And many of those new voters lean Democratic. The number of registered Republicans has been in a freefall for years – even independents outnumber them. In a sign of what was to come, Hillary Clinton carried Orange County in the 2016 presidential election, the first Democrat to do so since the Depression era. A stronger tack leftward has now dramatically arrived. . .Clearly, President Donald Trump was a factor. He lost California by over 4 million votes in 2016 and has remained unpopular, and many voters saw an opportunity to send a message to Washington. Walters and Rohrabacher, for example, were closely tied to the president, while Democratic candidates campaigned openly against Trump’s agenda. But demographic changes have also helped Democrats, and in key congressional races they fielded a group of fresh faces, not career politicians. Steel, the GOP committeeman, noted that Democrats raised more money and did a better job registering voters and using social media. The state GOP has debated for years whether the party needs to turn to the political center, or right. As far back as 2007, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned the party was “dying at the box office” and needed to claim issues usually associated with the Democratic agenda, including climate change and health care reform. The latest setbacks have set off a fresh round of Republican soul-searching. Travis Allen, a former GOP candidate for governor and ardent Trump supporter, said Thursday he was entering the race to be the state party leader. The party, he said, is at the “lowest point it’s been since the 1880s.”)

— The Republicans Broke Congress. Democrats Can Fix It. A roadmap for House Democrats between now and the 2020 election – NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN (DIERSEN: If Gingrich had not gutted GAO in 1990s, I might still be a GAO employee. Gingrich had to know that the Democrats who ran GAO in the 1990s would use his tremendous budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees like me who were Republican, and especially those like me who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that Gingrich knew full-well that because of his tremendous budget cuts, GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) that Gingrich had no problem with that. They stress that Gingrich, Hastert, Republican U.S. Senators from Illinois, and Republican U.S. Representatives from Illinois have not come to my defense.)
https://newrepublic.com/article/152127/republicans-broke-congress-democrats-can-fix-it
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For many decades, Congress has provided orientations for its new members. These used to be bipartisan, including a wide range of experts who taught newcomers the rules of how Congress works. After Newt Gingrich’s speakership in the 1990s, they became more partisan and generally less effective. The Democrats will need a much more robust orientation for members, new and otherwise, who have never served in the majority—and the same for staff. There should also be training about how to conduct investigations—there’s going to be a lot to investigate—how to do oversight, how to ask questions of witnesses, and how to use the alphabet soup of resources available to Congress, from CBO to GAO to CRS.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-cnn-jim-acosta-white-house-ban-20181115-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, Justice Department lawyer James Burnham argued that Acosta was guilty of “inappropriate grandstanding” and deserved to lose his access over “his refusal to comply with the general standards of a press conference.” Burnham also pointed out that CNN has dozens of other staffers with White House credentials, so excluding Acosta would not harm the network’s coverage. The network’s lawyer, Theodore Boutrous, contended that Acosta was being singled out for his body of work, not his alleged rudeness during a press conference. “The White House has made very clear that they don’t like the content of the reporting by CNN and Jim Acosta,” Boutrous said. “Rudeness really is a code word for ‘I don’t like you being an aggressive reporter.'” Prior to Wednesday’s hearing, the White House had maintained that it has “broad discretion” to regulate press access to the White House. A pre-hearing legal filing argued, “The President and his designees in the White House Press Office have exercised their discretion not to engage with him and, by extension, to no longer grant him on-demand access to the White House complex so that he can attempt to interact with the President or White House officials.” Trump himself, in an interview published Wednesday, was uncertain how the court fight would end, saying: “We’ll see how the court rules. Is it freedom of the press when somebody comes in and starts screaming questions and won’t sit down?” Trump told The Daily Caller that “guys like Acosta” were “bad for the country. … He’s just an average guy who’s a grandstander who’s got the guts to stand up and shout.” The White House’s explanations for why it seized Acosta’s credentials have shifted over the last week. Sanders initially explained the decision by accusing Acosta of making improper physical contact with the intern seeking to grab the microphone. But that rationale disappeared after witnesses backed Acosta’s account that he was just trying to keep the mic, and Sanders distributed a doctored video that made it appear Acosta was more aggressive than he actually was. On Tuesday, Sanders accused Acosta of being unprofessional by trying to dominate the questioning at the news conference. Both Sanders and Trump are named as defendants in the CNN suit, along with Chief of Staff John Kelly and Randolph Alles, director of the Secret Service.)

They paint Crete back then as being full of very bad people a) who were German-American, Lutheran, conservative, Republican, and draft avoiders and b) who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps crow about their success in a) promoting hatred against Trump in Naperville and b) getting voters in Naperville to punish Trump by voting for Democrats.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-midterm-results-by-precinct-st-1111-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite a strong showing in Naperville in 2014 and 2016, unofficial DuPage numbers show Roskam took only half the Naperville precincts in 2018, helping propel Democrat Sean Casten to a victory. Results aren’t deemed official until all provisional ballots have been counted and validated. The deadline for that is Nov. 20. Hultgren’s previously red precinct map in Wheatland Township in Naperville went all blue, based on unofficial Will numbers, to give Democratic challenger Lauren Underwood of Naperville the win. Foster also gained momentum in the 11th Congressional race this year, picking up four DuPage Township precincts and a Wheatland precinct that in Naperville traditionally had been red for at least the last decade, unofficial results show. Foster performed much better in the Lisle and Naperville Township portions of the city, losing in three precincts Tuesday to his Republican challenger Nick Stella, and unofficial figures indicate the losses in those precincts were by 10 or fewer votes. Jim Ruhl, chairman of the Naperville Township Republican Organization, said what drove suburban voters to the polls was more related to personality than economics. “You cannot deny we have record job growth,” he said. And Ruhl expects voters will flip back in the next election cycle when the people they’ve elected fail to perform. “The very politics going on in Chicago are what will be coming. It will have a big impact on the DuPage County area,” Ruhl said. . .Several sections of the city remain primarily Republican. Spots where voters consistently vote Republican at the precinct level are located on the east side of Naperville between Chicago Avenue and Hobson Road and between South Washington Street and Plainfield-Naperville Road south of Oswego Road. Other pockets are located north of Book Road in the area near Naperville Presbyterian Church, in the south near Winding Creek Park, and in the area east of McDowell Grove Forest Preserve. . .Determining how a person will vote depends on multiple factors, including education, race, gender and socio-economic status, said Suzanne Chod, associate professor of political science and coordinator of gender and women’s studies at North Central College in Naperville. She said generally the more educated a person is the more likely he or she will vote for a Democrat. “Less educated people are more likely to vote Republican. Education is the biggest predictor of voting habits,” Chod said. People of color, women, and those who are on the higher end of the socio-economic scale, she said, also are inclined to vote Democratic. From a political science perspective, it’s no surprise Democratic candidates did well in Naperville. Chod said voters in suburban communities surrounding large cities tend to be wealthier and more educated. The fact that more people of color are moving into Naperville checks another box off the list. Kerr said Naperville’s demographics are changing as evidenced by the 800 people who attended a Naperville interfaith service last week in reaction to hate-motivated gun attack during a Jewish Shabbat service in Pittsburgh. The Jewish congregation was joined by the spiritual leaders of 11 faiths from the area, including Mormons, Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. “That’s the community we live in now,” Kerr said. “They’re concerned about people besides themselves.”)

MOTLEY FOOL
— 3 Ways to Increase Your Chances of Getting a Raise for 2019 Want a pay boost next year? Here’s how to score one. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: Federal employees cannot get significant pay increases by just asking for them. They must apply for promotions. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious in 1986 when I successfully applied for a promotion to GS-13, currently $96,403/year. Because of that, they “pulled out all the stops” to stop me from ever getting a promotion to GS-14, currently $113,920/year. In 1987, they forced the GAO manager who had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986 to retire. He had hired me in 1980 and had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986. In 1989, they really “pulled out all the stops” to get rid of me. They threw me off audits of IRS, gave me unfair performance expectations, and gave me an unfair performance appraisal. In 1989, if Henry Hyde had not intervened for me, they might have succeeded in getting rid of me. Because it frustrated their tremendous efforts to get rid of me, they were beyond furious a) when in 1990, I successfully applied to work for the young Jewish female GS-15 in the office who was responsible for audits of federal financial institution regulators, b) when later in 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, c) when in 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, d) when in 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and e) when in 1997, I became a Forensic Accountant. They were especially beyond furious in 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.)

https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/pinocchio-rauners-staffer-tells-conservatives-to-abandon-all-hope-ye-who-enter-the-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former staffer for Pinocchio Rauner wasted no time telling conservatives to abandon all hope. In a commentary appearing in Friday’s Chicago Tribune, Patrick Wohl tried to scare the Illinois GOP away from any rightward movement. Scaremonger Wohl ominously warned, “The Illinois GOP needs unity, not a race to the right.” That’s code language for “Abandon the social issues, you idiot right-wing lunatics!” How about this for a revision: “The Illinois GOP needs unity on the entire GOP platform, not abandonment of the parts of it ignorant RINOs and Libertarians don’t like.” Wohl describes Jeanne Ives‘ candidacy as “undoubtedly the first foray into this impending debacle” of moving the party rightward. Wohl suggests we look at the only kind of Republicans he claims can get elected in Illinois, from “Bruce Rauner to Mark Kirk to Judy Baar Topinka to Jim Edgar.” But why is that? Could it be that people like Wohl and Pat Brady relentlessly tell conservatives that they must sacrifice their beliefs on the altar of party unity, while never telling RINO and Libertarian-leaning Republicans to sacrifice their beliefs on the “social issues” for the sake of unity? (Interesting sidenote: former GOP Governor Jim Edgar is an official member of the JB Pritker transition team.) Maybe the fact that millennial Wohl previously worked for Rand Paul‘s and Eric Greiten‘s campaigns tells us something about his view of unifying around RINO positions.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— OPM to Agencies: ‘Be Mindful’ of Policies in Trump’s Workforce Orders Despite Court Ruling – Erich Wagner Novem (DIERSEN: Instead of “making it easier to fire federal employees,” what if Trump wanted to a) stop political affiliation discrimination, b) stop reverse discrimination, c) stop age discrimination, and d) stop retaliation for opposing the aforesaid discrimination in the federal government?)
https://www.govexec.com/management/2018/11/opm-agencies-be-mindful-policies-trumps-workforce-orders-despite-court-ruling/152730/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to agency leaders, Weichert acknowledged that provisions making it easier to fire federal employees, setting time limits on collective bargaining negotiations, and restricting grievances and the use of official time were ruled unlawful by U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last summer. But she encouraged agencies to continue to pursue the spirit of those executive orders in their ongoing negotiations for new contracts with federal employee unions.)
