Democrats flee the poverty and crime in Democrat areas to take advantage of the prosperity and safety in Republican areas, but then hypocritically continue to vote for Democrats. With only the rarest of exceptions, when Democrats move in and take over an area, poverty and crime increase.)

DAILY HERALD
— How do you feel about legalizing recreational marijuana? (DIERSEN: Marijuana should NOT be legalized for recreational use in Illinois, or anywhere else for that matter. If marijuana is legalized for recreational use in Illinois, but counties and municipalities can prohibit the sale of marijuana in their jurisdictions, I will take the lead in getting DuPage County and Wheaton to be the first county and the first city in Illinois to prohibit the sale of marijuana in their jurisdictions.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181109/how-do-you-feel-about-legalizing-recreational-marijuana
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker says he wants to make legalization of recreational marijuana in Illinois one of his first orders of business when he becomes governor in January. Should our state rush to join the 10 states — including Colorado, Oregon, Vermont and, just this week, Michigan — that have decided to permit people to possess marijuana for personal use? If so, what should be the rules and limits? We want to know what you think.)

PROPUBLICA ILLINOIS
— The Election Is Over. And Now the Next Elections Begin. After Tuesday’s bluebath, Democrats dominate. But what comes next? – Mick Dumke (DIERSEN: If Peter Roskam is not going to run in 2020 to defeat Casten, who should the Republicans in the 6th Congressional District get behind to do that? It seems to me that the person most responsible for Republicans picking the best candidate to defeat Casten in 2020 is Bob Grogan. Grogan represents the 6th Congressional District on the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee. He is the DuPage County Auditor. And he is the Downers Grove Township Republican Central Committee Chairman. If Roskam is not going to run in 2020, who does Roskam want to run?)

CHICAGO HEADLINE CLUB
— Chicago Headline Club demands White House reinstate Jim Acosta’s credentials (DIERSEN: I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, and fundraisers who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who have refused to accept my GOPUSA Illinois press credentials or constructively or literally revoked them. Better yet, I should sue them.)
http://prod.headlineclub.org/2018/11/09/chicago-headline-club-demands-white-house-reinstate-jim-acostas-credentials/
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We, the board of the Chicago Headline Club, the largest chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, demand that the White House immediately reinstate the full credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta. A free press is a pillar of our democracy. Without a free press, there are no independent agencies to inform the public, expose injustice and hold the powerful to account. Some of the most important reporting comes from those who cover the White House and our nation’s government each day. The president first insulted Mr. Acosta as he asked a question during a news conference. An intern then tried to remove a microphone from Mr. Acosta’s hand to stop him from asking questions. This is clearly confirmed by video, and accounts of other reporters at the press conference. Hours later, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Mr. Acosta’s credentials were being revoked indefinitely, meaning he would no longer have access to cover the White House on behalf of one of the country’s largest cable networks. To justify this outrageous retaliation, Ms. Sanders falsely accused Mr. Acosta of accosting the intern. Hours later, she followed up by propagating a doctored video, edited to make it appear as though he assaulted the young woman. This is disgraceful. Ms. Sanders, in announcing the revocation of Mr. Acosta’s credentials, said the administration appreciates and welcomes tough questions from journalists. This is comically absurd and there is only evidence to the contrary. This administration has routinely disparaged free press and belittled its value, it has demeaned strong news coverage, and has attacked reporters who dare set the record straight in the face of lies. It was bad enough to accuse Mr. Acosta of doing something he obviously did not do. That the White House would then attempt to support the lie by disseminating an altered video is especially detestable and shows the lengths to which this administration will go to wage war against the truth. Jim Acosta did nothing wrong. He is a devoted journalist who did exactly what his colleagues, bosses and the public expect of a reporter in his position: He questioned the leader of our country and demanded answers. He sought accountability. The banishment of Mr. Acosta from the White House is unprecedented in this country. Sadly, it is not an unfamiliar tactic. Public officials and elected leaders at all levels of government routinely refuse to speak to reporters they deem unfriendly and block access to entire news outlets. We saw this occur on Election Day when Rep. Steve King of Iowa barred the Des Moines Register from covering his election night event, refusing to credential any of their reporters. This treatment of journalists is inexcusable whether they cover the White House or a local school board. More importantly, a public official rebuffing accountability for their actions is a disservice to the people they are supposed to serve. No public official should be above scrutiny. And no journalist in this country should be punished for doing their job. If the White House truly values the work of the press, as Ms. Sanders indicated in her statement, there is an obvious way to demonstrate that: restore Jim Acosta’s credentials and end its vicious attacks on journalists.)

GOPUSA
— Jim Acosta: CNN’s Political Activist at the White House (DIERSEN: I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, and fundraisers who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who have refused to accept my GOPUSA Illinois press credentials or constructively or literally revoked them. Better yet, I should sue them.)
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=58739
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At that point Acosta wasn’t a reporter asking questions. He was an activist debating policy and trying to change the president’s mind. “Most of the people there were serious reporters asking serious questions, but Jim Acosta, I thought, embarrassed himself today,” Fox News Sunday anchorman Chris Wallace said after the briefing. Let’s cast aside the officially stated reason for pulling Acosta’s White House credentials — that he laid his hand on a White House intern trying to pull the microphone away. Video shows physical contact. Viewers still are debating whether the contact actually was combative or just a byproduct of Acosta’s gesturing. Let’s instead talk about Acosta repeatedly interrupting Trump during a January 2017 press conference more than a week before his inauguration. Let’s talk about last June, when Acosta interrupted a historic signing ceremony with North Korea with his questions. Let’s talk about he shouted at those two leaders about nuclear weapons. When he didn’t get an answer, a hot microphone seemed to pick up a flustered Acosta saying, “Hey, if they’re not going to let me in the (expletive) meeting, that’s what happens … That’s the way it goes, baby.”)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that only 81 of 112, or only 72%, of those who cast March 20, 2018 Republican primary ballots in my precinct voted for me. However, what do you say to those who cast votes to do damage? There are about 30 of the aforesaid in my precinct a) who vote in Republican primaries to do damage, b) who never vote for candidates in uncontested Republican primary races, c) who have never voted for me to be their Republican Precinct Committeeman, and d) who have always voted for Democrats in general elections.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs said Tuesday’s results showed a gain for Democrats. “We got hit pretty hard, and statewide it was really difficult for the Republicans,” he said. “The governor underperformed in areas that were important to us.” Durkin also said antipathy toward Trump in the suburbs hurt his party, as evidenced by losses of Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren, even though the president helped Downstate Republicans.)

— Rebuilding the shell-shocked Illinois GOP – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-election-illinois-future-republicans-20181107-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: What’s an Illinois Republican Party to do? Recoil and tremble? Or unite and rebuild? Here’s the first step: Mend the fracture between establishment and conservative Republicans — Rauner supporters and those who backed his primary opponent, Rep. Jeanne Ives — and begin the rebuilding process. Find common ground and bury old grudges. Coalesce around new, fresh leadership in the House and Senate. The talent is there. House and Senate members who managed to fend off challengers — Sens. Neil Anderson of Andalusia and John Curran of Downers Grove, along with Reps. Mark Batinick of Plainfield, Tom Morrison of Palatine, Tom Demmer of Dixon, Grant Wehrli of Naperville, to name a few — will have to retread this party. And they’ll have to do it without worrying about the next election. Don’t go weak. Go big — that is, as big as a minority party can go. Give the people of Illinois fresh ideas for fixing this state’s government and economy. . .The GOP can have its comeback. The process will be a grind. Given the lingering hard feelings between conservatives and the more moderate establishment, even agreeing on leadership post-Rauner will be grueling. But the infighting that has pitted Republicans against one another needs to stop. On Tuesday, that intramural acrimony within the GOP helped the Democrats. But Tuesday is history. Republicans, stop the self-destruction. Unify. Rebuild. Start now.)

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.”)

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.)

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.)

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

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.)

(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.)
