ILLINOIS REVIEW
— DESPITE THREATS OF FEDERAL POLICE FUNDING CUTS, RAUNER TO JOIN EMANUEL IN DEFYING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS  (DIERSEN: Obviously, Rauner wants conservative Republican primary challengers so that he can demonize them, denigrate them, and condemn them as being “bad” Republicans and promote himself as being a “good” Republican because he rejects Trump and because he rejects many planks in the Republican Party platform. Candidates who run as anti-Republicans reject the immigration, traditional family, right to life, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), Second Amendment, and/or other planks.)

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/22/black-lives-matter-leader-issues-10-requests-for-white-people-and-theyre-doozies/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the wake of the violent demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, over a Confederate monument, an organizer for the Louisville chapter of Black Lives Matter penned an article last week laying out 10 “requests” for “white people.” Chanelle Helm got off to a rousing start in her piece for Leo Weekly by telling white people with no descendants to “will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.” Not one to leave a stone unturned, Helm added that whites who inherit property they intend to sell should instead “give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.” She’s building her fan base fast. Can you feel it? It gets better. Helm said white people who can afford to downsize should “give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.” Then she got specific with white people’s wills, saying that “if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists [sic] a**holes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.” Yes, there’s more. She also encouraged white people, “especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy)” to “get a racist fired … You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they [sic] racist too.”)

— Rauner to sign immigration bill — sparking anger on right – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Obviously, Rauner is taking the advice of those who not only want Rauner to lose in 2018, but who want all Republicans to lose in 2018.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-to-sign-immigration-bill-sparking-anger-on-right/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner plans to sign into law on Monday both an automatic voter registration and an immigration measure that would limit the role of local law enforcement in federal efforts —a move that may spark some backlash among his conservative base. Conservative firebrand Joe Walsh tweeted if he signs the immigration bill, “Governor Rauner is done.” Last week the governor on WBEZ-FM called the immigration measure — the Illinois Trust Act — “very reasonable,” but would not confirm whether he’d sign it. On Tuesday, the governor’s office confirmed he’d sign the immigration and voter registration measures on Monday. The immigration legislation would prohibit police in Illinois from detaining or arresting a person based on their immigration status or on federal immigration detainer. It would allow law enforcement officials, however, to detain a person with a judge’s order. The bill passed with bipartisan support and was supported by faith leaders, law enforcement and businesses. But Republicans initially opposed the measure, arguing it will cause a conflict with federal laws. State Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford has said Republicans are concerned the “blanket prohibition could result in leaving criminal illegal immigrants, including those accused of violent crimes, on the streets.” The conservative news organization Breitbart just wrote an article on the bill suggesting Rauner would be helping Democrats “frustrate federal immigration enforcement.” And Walsh, a former congressman and talk radio personality, weighed in on Tuesday, tweeting that if Rauner “allows Illinois to become a sanctuary state, I will not support his reelection. No way.” When TV reporter Mary Ann Ahern tweeted that Rauner planned to sign the bill, Walsh responded: “If true, bad terrible day for Illinois. Gov Rauner is done.” Rauner has steered clear of making comments about federal issues, specifically about “sanctuary cities.” He has said he’s in support of a comprehensive immigration policy, however. The automatic voter registration measure will automatically register people to vote at state drivers’ facilities, when applying for, updating or renewing a driver’s license or state ID — unless they opt out. It also creates a similar program for other state agencies. The governor vetoed a similar measure last year, citing concerns over voter fraud, and federal election laws. Illinois will be the ninth state to approve automatic voter registration. The measure was sent to the governor June 29.)
— ‘White male’ Rauner opts not to weigh in on racial debate over cartoon – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps and anti-Rauners demonize, denigrate, and condemn as being White supremacists, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things those who are Trump supporters, Rauner supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/white-male-rauner-opts-not-to-weigh-in-on-racial-debate-over-cartoon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Noting that he is “a white male,” Gov. Bruce Rauner does not plan to wade into the controversy over a cartoon by a conservative think tank that sparked bipartisan outrage in the General Assembly and charges that it was racially offensive. “The governor would never try to talk anyone out of their reaction to any piece of art, political or nonpolitical, right or left, good or bad,” Rauner spokeswoman Laurel Patrick said Tuesday. “The governor has great respect for the black caucus and members of the General Assembly who voiced concerns about the cartoon. “The governor’s office has also heard from members of the black community who found truth in the imagery and do not find the cartoon offensive. Here is where things stand: The cartoon was removed days ago. And the governor – as a white male – does not have anything more to add to the discussion.” The cartoon by the Illinois Policy Institute depicted a black child in a Cubs cap begging for money for school from a wealthy cigar-smoking white man, who was showing one pocket empty and the other stuffed with tax-increment financing money. State Rep. Jaime Andrade denounced the cartoon on the floor of the General Assembly, drawing a bipartisan standing ovation when he denounced it as “s—.”  State Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago, called it a “Sambo” cartoon.  State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, agreed, tweeting “Cartoons don’t make racism any more palatable @illinoispolicy should delete their cartoon and apologize. That has no place in policy debate.” The response from Rauner’s office on Tuesday did not go over well with Mitchell. “Wait what? So being a white male removes @GovRauner from a position of moral leadership? This is more disgraceful than saying nothing,” Mitchell tweeted. The Illinois Policy Institute defended the cartoon, which was intended to depict how Chicago siphons money from education with TIF funds. The think tank denied that it was racist, but removed it from its website, saying it was distracting from the debate over education funding and “the failure of political leaders to address the root cause of our struggling education system.” The think tank has been aligned with the governor, and Rauner has tapped its staff to replace senior members of his own administration since his budget veto was overridden earlier this year. Even after the institute removed the cartoon, NBC5 Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern kept the issue alive on Twitter, repeatedly questioning whether the governor had seen the cartoon and what his reaction was. Patrick finally responded Tuesday. “Charges of racism must be taken very seriously,” she said. “The tragedy in Charlottesville and its aftermath serve as sobering reminders that even today, some remain who would use violence and hate to divide us. We must never relent in working toward a future built not on what divides us, but what unites us.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill Aug. 14 that empowers counties across Illinois to dissolve layers of unnecessary government. Wouldn’t you know it? One suburban government already laid plans to twist through a loophole and preserve itself. Taxpayers, you might want to pay attention to this heist, which McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a Democrat, attributes to one-party rule. No, not Democratic rule in Cook County. Franks indicts Republican Party dominance in McHenry County.)

— ROSKAM: TRUMP’S COMMENTS ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE “NOT ACCEPTABLE”
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/roskam-trumps-comments-about-charlottesville-not-acceptable-.html
(FROM THE COMMENTS: Nancy Thorner said…I never thought I would have to speak unkindly about you, Peter, but you seem to have become unhinged by wanting to follow other Republicans who are too afraid to stand up for what is the truth, that there was violence on both sides, fearing backlash from a dishonest media who is poisoning the minds of the American people against Trump. I think it might be time for you to retire from politics. We don’t need spineless Republicans in office who can’t support Trump because you don’t wish to explain to your constituents how they are being lied to by the media,the Left, and by irresponsible and turncoat Republicans. I’m appalled by the two Bush presidents, but they never liked Trump in the first place because of Jeb’s loss. Regarding Ryan and McConnell, these establishment politicians must go. They have continually thwarted Trump at accomplishing all he has attempted to do since he was sworn into office. All I can conclude is that Republicans by supporting the Left with their condemnation of Trump, don’t care if they destroy this nation in the process. Don’t you understand how the Left, the Deep state, and other forces — led by George Soros — are doing all possible to discredit President Trump. It is George Soros who is sending the violent goon squads where ever needed to cause destruction and chaos, Peter.)

WTOL
— Chance the Rapper gives out 30K backpacks to kids at parade – WBBM/CNN  (DIERSEN: What do you give out to others? I have given out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. Those emails have gone out each and ever morning since 2004, each and every evening since 2015, and they have included links to more than 278,100 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wtol.com/story/36123613/chance-the-rapper-gives-out-30k-backpacks-to-kids-at-parade
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chance the Rapper led the way as grand marshal of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in the South Side. Chance, a native of the city’s Chatham neighborhood, donated 30,000 stuffed backpacks for children along the parade route. The parade, now in its 88th year, is a tradition meant to serve as a back-to-school send off. “This is the best thing they have every year,” said a parent on the route. Since education is the focus, funding for public schools was on the minds of parade-goers and city leaders. “Right now we are suffering in a racially discriminatory funding system that it hurts funding in our state,” said  Forrest Claypool, Chicago Public Schools CEO. And while Gov. Bruce Rauner made an appearance before the parade, he did not address the funding issue during the event. Mayor Rahm Emanuel did address the issue. “The state of Illinois has the responsibility not to just show at a parade, not just to cheer, but to actively put resources that taxpayers of the city of Chicago give the state and fund our education equitably and fairly,” Emanuel said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Guess who pays for those $150,000 Columbia journalism degrees? – Monica Showalter (DIERSEN: Since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me because neither my bachelor’s degree nor any of my three master’s degrees are in journalism. In my defense, much of what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. Further, much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2  years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/guess_who_pays_for_those_150000_columbia_journalism_degrees.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is questionable is the issue of who pays for the degree. President Obama put limits on repaying back student loans at the 20-year mark, meaning anyone who takes out debt at the $150,000 level is only going to be repaying a fraction of that debt. The taxpayers will pick up the remainder of the tab. Should the taxpayers be paying for that? Particularly if the journalists being turned out end up being advocacy journalists on just one side of the political spectrum? That is worth asking. Cooper makes a very important point in noting that the federal incentives for taking out high-dollar loans and the abbreviated payment obligations make high-priced, questionable-value degrees on offer inevitable at places like Columbia, writing:)

MADISON
— 5 Figures That Define the Middle Class – Sean Williams  (DIERSEN: From what I see, because the cost of living is so high in DuPage County, you need way more than “$24,173 to $72,521” to live a middle class life style in DuPage County and save for your retirement.)
http://host.madison.com/business/investment/markets-and-stocks/figures-that-define-the-middle-class/article_71955a5b-e0d6-5ebc-befc-12e6528774f0.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. $24,173 to $72,521  First things first: we have to define what middle-class income actually is. According to Pew Research Center, which conducted a study on the shrinking middle class in late 2015, an individual would qualify for the middle class if he or she earned more than $24,173 in 2014 dollars, or less than $72,521. Pew’s official definition is income of between 67% and 200% of overall median household income. Back in 1971, some 80 million Americans were considered to be in the middle class, compared to 51 million Americans who were either lumped in the lower- or upper-income brackets. However, by 2015, there were 121.3 million lower- and upper-income Americans, combined (using Pew’s definition of 67% to 200% of median household income). This is compared to 120.8 million middle-income Americans. In a span of 44 years, the middle class had become the minority. . .4. Approximately 70% have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies It’s no secret that Americans aren’t good savers. The U.S. personal saving rate has dipped by more than 50% over the past five decades, and we’re saving nowhere near the recommended 10% to 15% of our paychecks. But it’ll probably shock you to see how bad the middle class is at socking away cash for emergencies. According to a survey from GoBankingRates in September 2016, 37% of persons bringing home $25,000 to $49,999 annually didn’t have a dime in savings, and another 35% had less $1,000. Similarly, 33% of the people making between $50,000 and $74,999 had $0 in savings, and 36% had less than $1,000. Essentially, 7 in 10 middle-class folks have less than $1,000 saved for emergencies, which is scary low. . .5. Debt at 122% of annual household income The middle class has also been highly proficient at racking up debt over the past two-plus decades, according to data from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, which is conducted every three years. Though debt for middle-class households hit an all-time high of 140% of annual household income in 2010, the 122% of debt relative to annual household income that middle-class households are lugging around as of 2013 still isn’t good. Comparatively, this is also nearly double the debt burden that middle-class families were contending with in 1989.)

 

FED SMITH
— Making Federal Employees ‘At-Will’ Would Limit Their Legal Recourse – Mathew B. Tully (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

— Ann Coulter slams Gov. Rauner as ‘retarded’ – Mark Brown
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/brown-ann-coulter-slams-gov-rauner-as-retarded/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter gave Gov. Bruce Rauner’s first national television interview a bad review Friday, telling her 1.6 million Twitter followers that Rauner “either is retarded or playing retard.”  “His answer to every Q is, “Our system is broken.” Fascinating!” Coulter tweeted during an interview on FOX News Channel by host Bret Baier. Rauner was his normal evasive self, sidestepping Baier’s questions about President Trump, Chicago’s sanctuary city status and Obamacare. At one point, Baier seemed frustrated by his inability to get direct answers to his questions, but never called him out directly.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Ann Coulter takes shot at Gov. Rauner – Gregory Pratt
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-coulter-retarded-rauner-20170811-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner gave a rare national interview to Fox News host Bret Baier on Friday that led conservative commentator Ann Coulter to sling a harsh insult Rauner’s way.  Rauner discussed illegal immigration and the state budget crisis on the program, and deflected  several questions. On Twitter, critics pounced, including Democratic state Rep. Christian Mitchell, who said on Twitter that Rauner did a “bellyflop.” But so far, the harshest criticism comes from Coulter, who attacked Rauner with her well-known brand of flame-throwing and sarcasm in a tweet. .@GovRauner either is retarded or is playing retard on @BretBaier. His answer to every Q is, “Our system is broken.” Fascinating!”  The word “retarded,” once ubiquitous as an insult, is now widely considered offensive. A spokeswoman for Rauner declined comment.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Google Cancels Meeting on Diversity, Citing Safety Concerns for Employees  CEO had scheduled meeting after the firing of a Google engineer, which had set off a nationwide debate – Jack Nicas
https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-engineers-firing-fuels-debate-among-employees-1502395326
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google canceled a companywide meeting about diversity just before it was set to begin Thursday, saying right-wing websites published the names of employees who had proposed questions, raising security concerns. Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in an email to employees that the company decided to cancel the highly anticipated meeting after employees expressed concerns “about their safety and worried they may be ‘outed’ publicly for asking a question in the Town Hall.”)
— Google Episode Sends a Message: Diversity Is a Tough Sell in Silicon Valley  Tech firms face broad skepticism about results of industry’s push to attract more women and minorities – Georgia Wells and Yoree Koh  (DIERSEN: Because most young women and most young minorities are Democrats, it is easier for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities. But then again, because federal employees and federal retirees are viciously hated, it is harder for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities.)

https://www.ft.com/content/ce016eae-7db6-11e7-ab01-a13271d1ee9c
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having read the memo, a recurring subtext appears: Mr Damore felt stuck in his job, denied access to training and career development paths designed to increase diversity throughout the company. A perception formed in his mind, rightly or wrongly, that Google had overcompensated in its drive to address criticism over diversity. As he saw it, Google was now recruiting and grooming a subset of employees to bypass or even replace him, while excluding him from comparable investment and support. That he was a self-identified “conservative” in Silicon Valley did not help; his complaints were viewed as creating a hostile workplace environment.)

FED SMITH
— Can Feds Use ‘Retrograde Analysis’ to Pursue Retirement Success? – Randy Silvey  (DIERSEN: My $50,856/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 41% of the $122,991 that I earned in 1997 in today’s dollars. Because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/08/06/can-feds-use-retrograde-analysis-pursue-retirement-success/
(DIERSEN HEADLINE: Retrograde Analysis is an approach that uses reversed methodology. Think of it as a new tool; it has the benefit of providing perspectives that most linear thinkers would normally not consider. RA is not new or even unique as a general concept. It is likely many have used it without giving it much thought, let alone a name. In our everyday lives, we have problems occur that require we take an opposite and sometimes uncomfortable point of view to resolve. That is the essence of RA.)

The article says that “Federal deductions for state, local taxes on chopping block.” Guess who has the highest state and local taxes. It’s those states led by tax hungry Democrats. Perhaps national Republicans have not figured out that Republicans are more likely to own real estate than Democrats.)

— Justice Dept. to Take On Affirmative Action in College Admissions – CHARLIE SAVAGE  (DIERSEN: IIT admitted me in 1992 when I was 43, but I doubt that IIT would admit me today if I was 43. DePaul admitted me in 1976 when I was 27, but I doubt that DePaul would admit me today if I was 27. Loyola admitted me in 1972 when I was 23, but I doubt that IIT would admit me today if I was 23. NIU admitted me in 1969 when I was 20, but I doubt that IIT would admit me today if I was 20. UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, but I doubt that IIT would admit me today if I was 18.  In addition to being White, my other bad demographics include my being baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, I am conservative, I am Republican, I am American, I am a male, I have never been poor, I am 100% German-American, I avoided the draft, and my ancestors have been in America since the 1840s.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/us/politics/trump-affirmative-action-universities.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times. The document, an internal announcement to the civil rights division, seeks current lawyers interested in working for a new project on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.” The announcement suggests that the project will be run out of the division’s front office, where the Trump administration’s political appointees work, rather than its Educational Opportunities Section, which is run by career civil servants and normally handles work involving schools and universities. The document does not explicitly identify whom the Justice Department considers at risk of discrimination because of affirmative action admissions policies. But the phrasing it uses, “intentional race-based discrimination,” cuts to the heart of programs designed to bring more minorities to university campuses. Supporters and critics of the project said it was clearly targeting admissions programs that can give members of generally disadvantaged groups, like black and Latino students, an edge over other applicants with comparable or higher test scores.)
