(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Our party is united, up and down the ticket,” Pritzker said. “Everywhere we go, local Democratic officials come.” He then took a swipe at his opponent, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. “On the Republican side here in Illinois, Gov. Rauner just barely won his own primary. His primary opponent still has not endorsed him,” Pritzker said, referring to state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. “There are an awful lot of other Republicans that have not joined together with him. “I think we’re seeing that Democrats are fired up. Democrats are ready to go.”)

ABC7
— Labor Day fun mixes with politics at Chicago area parades, festivals – Michelle Gallardo and Craig Wall (DIERSEN: Republicans who participated in the parade included Mr. & Mrs. Rauner, Mr. & Mrs. Roskam, Sanguinetti, Connelly, Oberweis, Olsen, Senger, Wehrli, Anderson, Boltz, Cantore, Carlyle, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Gustin, Hogan, Keller, Lowe, MacKay, Mendrick, Monino, Prater, Rash, Ruhl, and Smith.)
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/labor-day-fun-mixes-with-politics-at-parades-festivals-/4137452/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The sound of music from marching bands filled the air in Naperville as thousands of people lined the streets to wave flags and cheer as they say their unofficial goodbye to summer. But with the drums of the November election beating louder every day, politicians were shifting gears into their busy season. Governor Rauner was shaking hands, and shaking off any talk of him not being for Illinois workers. “We’ve lost a lot of good paying jobs in this state for decades, we’ve been one of the slowest growing states and now the state’s around us are growing their union jobs and all their good paying jobs much faster than Illinois. We’ve got to be pro-worker by being pro-growth, pro-investment and pro-job creation,” Rauner said. JB Pritzker, Rauner’s rival, attacked the governor for his anti-union efforts at a labor picnic in Rock Island. “He’s about getting rid of unions, he’s about lowering the standard of living of people across the state of Illinois. We’ve got to create jobs in the state there’s no doubt about it, but if we don’t preserve our labor unions while we’re creating jobs we’re doing it wrong,” Pritzker said. In the 6th District Congressional race, which Democrats nationally have targeted to flip, Sean Casten was apologizing for comments that surfaced last week where he was heard comparing President Trump to Osama Bin Laden – but he was not apologizing for the underlying message. “We should be very afraid of a President who uses the tool that demagogues throughout history have used to say, if you are afraid, if you are disempowered, your problem is someone who doesn’t look like you and I’ll fix that,” Casten said. Incumbent Peter Roskam, who championed the President’s tax cut earlier this year, said he was not taking this race for granted. “But I think my opponent has a lot to answer for comparing the President to Osama Bin Laden and advocating nearly every tax hike conceivable,” Roskam said.)

https://willcountygazette.com/stories/511548567-crete-monee-community-unit-school-district-201u-students-suspended-1-815-times-in-a-single-school-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Monee Community Unit School District 201U reported 1,815 suspensions for 2016-17, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education. The district transferred six students to another program instead of suspending or expelling them. According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 1,815 students during the year. That equates to 37 percent of the 4,910 students enrolled. Of the 1,108 in-school suspensions, 774 were given to boys and 334 were given to girls, including 781 elementary or middle schoolers and 327 high schoolers. The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 1,092 incidents. There were six incidents of tobacco. For 924 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less. Of the 707 out-of-school suspensions, 504 were given to boys and 203 were given to girls, including 456 elementary or middle schoolers and 251 high schoolers. The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 672 incidents. There were 17 incidents of drugs. For 325 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HOLD MORE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE FOR MISCONDUCT – Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas 1st District (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. While my Democrat superiors in the federal government never charged me with “misconduct” or “ineptitude” or being a “bad actor,” my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that misconduct and ineptitude and being a bad actor were the reasons why they took adverse actions against me, and a) NOT because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) NOT because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/03/more-federal-employees-accountable-for-misconduct/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In our current system, the process for removing these bad actors is nearly impossible. According to data obtained by FedScope, only 0.5 percent of federal employees have been fired in recent years for poor performance or misconduct. Meanwhile, a 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealed that once a decision is made to fire a federal employee, removing them from office can take between six months to a year, if not longer. Draining the swamp is not just fiscally responsible, it is absolutely essential to creating a lasting climate of accountability in our nation’s capital – which is the real battle we are fighting. Washington dysfunction runs deep. True change must uproot systemic injustices and remove those in government who perpetuate them. Meanwhile, all of us in government must begin insisting upon excellence and stop incentivizing ineptitude. This is the essence of the MERIT (Modern Employment Reform, Improvement, and Transformation) Act — a piece of legislation I am proud to co-sponsor. The MERIT Act allows for the expedited removal of federal employees who have either engaged in misconduct or who are failing to perform their duties. It also expedites the appeals process in the event these employees protest their termination.)

REASON
— How Trustworthy Does Facebook Think You Are? Should we be concerned about a new system to keep track of real vs. fake news? – Andrea O’Sullivan (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all news and commentary is fake except for the news and commentary that they put out or bless. They focus on a) stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone from reading the emails. Should I publish a list of my critics/opponents? Should I sue them?)
https://reason.com/archives/2018/08/28/how-trustworthy-does-facebook-think-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One new tool in Facebook’s bag of anti-“misinformation” tricks definitely ticks the “creep box”: Last week, the Washington Post reported that Facebook has been planning to assign a “trustworthiness score” for users on their platform for around a year. Users who are believed to more accurately flag news stories as valid or not will be given a higher score, while users suspected of flagging stories out of revenge or distaste—and thereby throwing off the algorithm—will be given a goose egg. The scale ranges from 0 to 1, and the system is now reportedly coming online. The new system is framed as a necessary augmentation of Facebook’s previous forays into third party-guided media ranking. In addition to partnering with self-deputized “fact-checkers” like PolitiFact and Snopes.com, Facebook created a button for average users to report when a story was “fake news.” The idea was that human feedback, provided by both “experts” and the wisdom of the crowds, would supplement the brittle fallibility of algorithms, leading to a better overall curation of what is being shared on Facebook.)

— Let us know politics of news employees – Kristin Kocan, Warrenville
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180827/your-responses-to-enemy-of-the-people-editorials
(FROM THE LETTER: Responding to your editorial entitled, “Not enemies, but voice of the people,” please note that Pope Francis addressed the issue of “fake news” in a message for Communications, last January. How did he describe fake news? “The term ‘fake news’ has been the object of great discussion and debate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation on line or in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader. Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.” He goes on to say “Disinformation thus thrives on the absence of healthy confrontation with other sources of information that could effectively challenge prejudices and generate constructive dialogue …” His whole message has to do with truth. However, your editorial did not mention truth; up front, it said it is the “voice of the people.” Well, which people? Maybe on your editorial page (one of many pages), you give half time to one side of an issue, half time to the other side (maybe). But for the rest of the pages, your paper is the voice of those in your employ. What is the ratio of Democrat to Republican in your employ? What is the ratio of Trump supporters to Trump haters in your employ? Let us know, and then we can decide if your paper is an enemy of people you don’t agree with …)
— Does $60,000 make you middle class or wealthy on Planet Earth? – Heather Long and Leslie Shapiro (DIERSEN: Are/were you wealthy? Because I have always been a Republican, because I avoided the draft, and because I am not a minority or a female, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed the money that I spent on new cars, education, real estate, collector cars, etc. They stressed my wife’s income. They stressed that my wife and I did not have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They stressed the money that we saved for our retirement. They were beyond furious when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid, a) I did not need, nor should I be given, any promotions, b) I should be gotten rid of, and c) failing that, I should be forced to take early retirement.)

Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)
