ILLINOIS REVIEW
— OUTSTANDING: TWO IL GOP LAWMAKERS (John Cabello and David McSweeney) FILE EFFORT TO REPEAL SANCTUARY LAW
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/two-il-gop-lawmakers-file-effort-to-repeal-sanctuary-law.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Two Illinois Republican state reps are very concerned about the immigration law enforcement measure Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law Monday. State Reps. John Cabello (R-Rockford) and David McSweeney (R-Barrington) filed a measure Wednesday that would repeal a new law banning law enforcement in Illinois from stopping persons suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. “I swore to uphold the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions when I became a legislator,” Cabello told Illinois Review Wednesday. “As a member of law enforcement, I took a vow to uphold the law. I believe and trust in those oaths, and intend to do all I can to keep them.” The law many are referring to as the “sanctuary law” says law enforcement “shall not” detain or continue to detain any individual solely on the basis of any immigration detainer or non-judicial immigration warrant. Law enforcement “shall not” stop or arrest anyone solely based on the person’s immigration or citizenship status. They are, however, not banned from implementing a “valid” judge-issued federal warrant concerning any suspects. That is the definition of a sanctuary law, Cabello bill co-sponsor David McSweeney told Illinois Review. He pointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ office comments on the law. “As the Attorney General has said, when cities and states refuse to help enforce immigration laws, our nation is less safe,” DOG spokesman Devin O’Malley told Fox News. “Failure to deport aliens who are convicted for criminal offenses puts whole communities at risk – especially immigrant communities in the very sanctuary jurisdictions that seek to protect the perpetrators.” The attorney general’s views were totally disregarded in a missive sent out by the Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider and County Chairman Association President Randy Pollard Monday night after Rauner signed the bill into law in front of an enthusiastic Latino audience in Chicago. “I think it is important that people know what Attorney General Sessions thinks about SB 31. Tim Schneider, the chief cheerleader for the ‘Capitol Compromise’ massive tax hike is now presenting more ‘alternative facts,'” McSweeney said. Cabello said lawmakers are supposed to do what’s best for those that are bearing the financial burden for decisions they make at the capitol. Not doing so will ultimately create consequences that political parties may not want, such as the base simply staying home in 2018. “People are telling me they’re so fed up with the party leaders and the governor that they’re just not going to go to the polls in 2018. That’s the opposite of what they should do,” Cabello, who co-chaired the Trump campaign in Illinois, said. “They need their voices to be heard loud and clear. Staying home is not an option.” Only one Republican House member – Bob Pritchard – voted in support of SB 31 on the House floor. Four Republicans – McConchie, McConnaughay, Nybo and Radogno – supported it in the Illinois Senate. Cabello and McSweeney’s repeal bill is HB 4091.)

— DEMOCRATIC WHITE MEN HIT “GLASS CEILING” – RUSS STEWART  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, a) anti-Whites demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites as being racists and b) anti-men demonize, denigrate and condemn men as being sexists.  Overwhelmingly, anti-Whites and anti-men are Democrats.)
http://www.russstewart.com/articles/2017/08-30-2017.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tokenism, as an adjective defined by Webster’s Dictionary, is an act merely simulated, of slight or no account. As a noun, it is an act of accommodation to a demand by slight and merely formal concessions. For Democrats in Cook County, August’s slatemaking for their 2018 ticket was both a noun and an adjective, particularly regarding white men. Of the 16 candidates endorsed by the party for countywide offices, including judges, a grand total of three are while males, or about 18 percent. In the Democratic Party, men have hit the proverbial “glass ceiling.” Having a white man on the ticket is now of slight or no account. Of the remaining 13, seven are black, of which four are black women. That’s 44 percent. Seven are women. That’s another 44 percent. And two are Hispanics. That’s just 12 percent. As a noun, every key Democratic constituency got more than token accommodation. White males are no longer a key constituency. As expected, the Big Three – County Board president Toni Preckwinkle, House Speaker and state Democratic chairman Mike Madigan, and Alderman Ed Burke (14th) – did the dictating, with Burke picking the judges, and the 50 city and 30 suburban committeemen did the capitulating. Preckwinkle is expanding her empire exponentially, and is at the top of the heap. In the 2016 cycle, Preckwinkle engineered the slating of her county aide, Kim Foxx, for state’s attorney. She easily beat incumbent Anita Alvarez in the primary. She also worked with Madigan, dispatching another aide, Juliana Stratton, to run against independent-minded Ken Dunkin, who had the temerity to defy Madigan on several Illinois House votes. With a flood of Madigan money, Stratton buried Dunkin, and Madigan got another ally in Springfield. Now Preckwinkle and Madigan have worked again, plunking Stratton on J.B. Pritzker’s ticket for lieutenant governor in the March 2018 primary, and then delivering an endorsement of Pritzker for governor. Crafting a Pritzker-Stratton ticket sealed the deal, and Preckwinkle delivered all the black committeemen at slatemaking. And finally, another former Preckwinkle aide, Kim du Buclet, now a state representative, got slated for the 2-year Metropolitan Water Reclamation District term, beating a Hispanic backed by state Representative Luis Arroyo (D-3), and a longtime insider and donor associated with the North Shore Realtors. In the slating for county clerk, a job David Orr is relinquishing after 28 years, Recorder Karen Yarbrough, who is black and a Madigan protege, was slated. For Preckwinkle, despite the soda tax snafu, it’s “Veni, vidi, vici” – “I came, I saw, I conquered.”)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Bruce Rauner, betrayer of the Illinois GOP – Cheryl K. Chumley
http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/29/bruce-rauner-betrayer-illinois-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There used to be a time when Republicans stood for certain non-negotiables — free markets, lower taxes, limited governments and yes, law and order at the borders. Then came Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. And all the Republicans go — whaat? The Republican — repeat, Republican — governor just signed a bill into law limiting the ability of police to work with feds on immigration. Specifically, the new law “prohibits police from searching, arresting or detaining someone solely because of immigration status, or because of so-called federal immigration detainers,” ABC News reported. Local authorities ostensibly can still contact federal immigration folk and hold illegals in jail cells if there’s a criminal warrant for their arrest on file. But come on, now. What Rauner really signed was a sanctuary bill. He can spin it however he wants — and boy, did he. His side argues the bill is far from a sanctuary measure because it still allows for communication between locals and feds, and it makes clear the state has to abide federal law. But that’s smoke and mirrors. The fact that the language is nebulous enough to be having the debate over whether it’s sanctuary or not is proof in itself that it’s sanctuary enough to be interpreted by any leftists at the local levels — the first responders on law enforcement — as permission to protect and shield illegals. “This took months and months of difficult negotiations,” he said, during the highly touted, highly celebratory bill signing, complete with mariachi ban performances and speeches. “[But it helps Illinois] continuing to be a welcome state.” Welcoming state — that’s code for Hey Illegal, Come Here. It’s the language Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel uses when he insists his city will stay a welcome refuge for illegals, no matter what President Donald Trump does in terms of border crackdowns. It’s the defiant rhetoric New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio screams when he symbolically middle-fingers the White House on immigration controls. But Emanuel and de Blasio are Democrats — so yeah, that’s what they do. Flout the law and flaunt their progressive-socialist-globalist selves. Rauner? Once more, for the people in the back of the room: he’s a Republican. Go back to Paragraph One, the part where it says Republicans are supposed to stand for law and order — “republic” is in the name, for crying out loud — not democratic wispy-winded will of the mob. Did Rauner not get the manual? Illinois may be heavy on the Democrats, and Rauner may simply be trying to do some good ol’ fashioned politicking to save his poll numbers. But stepping toward Democrats on border security is not a winning platform. And hey now, lookie here — Rauner is indeed up for re-election in 2018. From Politico, December 2016: “Illinois Gov. Rauner drops $50 million into 2018 reelection bid.” Seems he’s trying to walk both paths, simultaneously — Democratic and Republican. What a perfect time for a primary candidate to emerge.)

Outside, an opponent carried a sign that said, “Illinois victim families say no sanctuary state.” . . . Before the governor inked his signature to the bill, Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, a fluent Spanish speaker, kicked off the speeches with remarks in both English and Spanish in which she insisted that, “contrary to popular belief, this bill does not turn Illinois into a sanctuary state.” Instead, she said, “it will help us keep violent criminals behind bars.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some have said the law will make Illinois a so-called “sanctuary state” by limiting the role of local authorities in enforcing federal immigration laws. The law comes amid immigration crackdowns that have led to arrests statewide. Former GOP congressman and conservative talk radio host Joe Walsh reacted on Twitter, calling Rauner’s decision a “slap in the face” to citizens.)

NBC5
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Rauner to Sign Immigration Bill Amid Conservative Backlash – Shelby Bremer (DIERSEN: Those who want Rauner to sign the bill also want Rauner to officially dump those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/politics/rauner-to-sign-illinois-trust-act-441922333.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some say the bill would turn Illinois into a “sanctuary state,” the term used for jurisdictions that do not comply with federal requests to detain undocumented immigrants who have been arrested on charges unrelated to their immigration status and turn them over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for possible deportation. President Donald Trump has made a concerted effort to crack down on these jurisdictions, signing an executive order in January to halt federal grants to so-called sanctuary cities. . .Often reluctant to discuss national political issues, particularly as they relate to Trump, Rauner will sign the bill – which received one Republican vote in the House and five in the Senate – on the final day of his 60-day window to act on the legislation ends, in a move that has already angered some of the state’s more conservative voters and pundits. Far-right website Breitbart News slammed the first-term governor for his support of the bill, sharing criticisms of the measure from conservative commentators like Rosanna Pulido, former Republican candidate for Congress and founder of the anti-immigration group Illinois Minutemen. “Personally I am already checking out a different state I can move to. It is truly a sad day in Illinois,” Pulido said, calling SB 31 “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” Former congressman and conservative radio host Joe Walsh tweeted Tuesday that Rauner is “done” if he signs the bill, adding that it would be a “bad terrible day for Illinois” and he would not support his reelection.)

https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2017/08/27/chicagoans-march-solidarity-against-white-supremacists
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: CHICAGO – A coalition of Chicagoans representing more than 50 community and labor organizations will assemble at 2pm, Sunday, August 27 to say NO to white supremacists, and the political culture & public officials propagating hate, violence and inequality. Late Friday, knowing they would face massive opposition, neo-fascists in the Bay Area cancelled their planned events. Counter-protesters in the Bay Area decided to continue the plan to take their opposition to the bigots to the streets, and we will be doing the same here in Chicago. The Chicago event, entitled Solidarity Against White Supremacy, will begin at Federal Plaza, corner of Adams and Dearborn Streets, and march to near Trump Tower, corner of Wabash and Wacker Avenues. Solidarity Against White Supremacy is part of the National Weekend of Solidarity, a national effort to show support for community members planning to protest hate groups and other racists in San Francisco and Berkeley on the weekend of August 26-27. The rally comes in the wake of the Charlottesville violence and the inability of officials like President Trump and Governor Bruce Rauner to properly condemn it. “While many are prompted to protest the egregious responses of Trump, Rauner and others to the fascist hate and violence in Charlottesville, we also recognize that this hate has deep institutional roots in our country, and many of the policies pursued by politicians of both parties reinforce, rather than diminish it,” said Jaquie Algree vice president for external relations of SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana. “Depriving schools serving primarily Black and Brown youth of the music, art, sports and other programs enjoyed by wealthier, whiter students, closing public mental health clinics, slashing social services relied on by women and people of color, attacking unions, deporting millions of immigrants—all these are policies that reinforce the racism and other hate highlighted in Charlottesville.” Solidarity Against White Supremacy organizers note that the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, VA was but the most publicized in a string of neo-fascist terrorist attacks in the United States. In 2016, attacks on Muslims increased 67% over the preceding year. In May of this year, Black Bowie State student Richard W. Collins III was murdered by a neo-Nazi on the University of Maryland campus. In June, Richy John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche were murdered in Portland when they intervened to stop racist harassment of two young Black women. “When Trump says he wants to ‘make America great again,’ we know that he wants to turn the clock back to a time when few had the courage to oppose the racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate espoused by his core, ‘Alt-Right,’ neo-fascist supporters,” said Andy Thayer of the Gay Liberation Network. “It is no accident that Chicago is one of the cities where these organized creeps are at their weakest – On March 11, 2016, Chicagoans forced then-candidate Trump to cancel his rally at UIC. On August 27, Chicagoans will gather once again to tell white supremacists and anyone else with the intent to harm, that they are not welcome in Chicago.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner has approved the creation of the Illinois Muslim American Advisory Council. The Republican signed the plan into law on Friday without offering comment. The council’s purpose is to advise the governor and legislators on policy issues affecting Muslim Americans and immigrants. It’ll be made up of 21 members, appointed by the governor and legislative leaders. The group is required to meet monthly and issue policy recommendations. Proponents say establishing the council sends a welcoming message to Muslims. Opponents question resources used on advisory councils. Former Gov. Pat Quinn had established a similar group by executive order in 2011, but the group disbanded when Rauner took office in 2015. Illinois has over 500,000 Muslims and more than 300 mosques.)

Because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, we 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 on vacations  I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977.  My wife and I went on many vacations, typically four each year, 1978-1992 in connection with her business trips to luxury resorts all across America. Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious about that.)

What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout about your hometown?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my hometown of Crete was full of German Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things while I, my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and my great great grandparents lived there. My grandfather and his father operated Crete’s only hardware store for almost 100 years.  My grandfather fought the Germans in WWI.)

— Rauner’s General Counsel Dennis Murashko Escorted From Office a Week Before Planned Exit: Reports – Mary Ann Ahern  (DIERSEN: Have you been fired? In early 1971, after I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in August of 1970, my Firestone Store boss in Chicago Heights ordered me to clean the white walls on display tires that were hanging on the walls of the store showroom while the store was open. That prompted me to tell him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. He immediately flew into a rage, fired me, and threw me out of the store. Then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. That Firestone Store boss had not hired me — Firestone Stores regional office had hired me. In my opinion, that Firestone Store boss disapproved of many of my demographics including my religion and my national origin, but most of all, he disapproved that I had avoided the draft.)

— Group launches website in war on Illinois property taxes – Glenn Minnis
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511195487-group-launches-website-in-war-on-illinois-property-taxes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Homeowners Defense Association (HDA) has launched a website to counter the damage it sees as being done to homeowners across the state by virtue of the runaway property tax system. “DefendHomeowners.com will seek to mobilize homeowners by making them aware of how the state’s tax system is impacting their home,” HDA Executive Director Heidi Holan told the DuPage Policy Journal. “We will be advocating for tax reform and making people aware of what they can do about the current system.” With Illinois residents paying some of the highest property taxes in the country, Holan argues that the situation has reached a crisis point. “High property taxes are the biggest driver of all the outmigration you’re seeing across the state,” she said. “We want the cap to be somewhere around 1 percent; right now it’s at about 2.3 percent, or more than twice as high as where the national average is.” Holan said homeowners can start fighting back by making themselves aware of what options they have and to understand what level of power they hold by banding together. In addition to free individualized property tax reports, HDA members will receive free region-by-region property tax analyses. Membership is free.)

I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS’s Collection Division in Chicago. They took their anger against Nixon out on me. Virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. My Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed the $5/day partial day per diem claims that I had filed (SEE: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866) and b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974.

— OUTSTANDING: Republicans warn Rauner against making Illinois sanctuary state – Carrie Bradon
https://mchenrytimes.com/stories/511197146-republicans-warn-rauner-against-making-illinois-sanctuary-state
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six Republican legislators have sent a letter to Gov. Bruce Rauner to urge him to veto the state’s sanctuary bill, SB31, according to a press release. Under the bill, immigrants in Illinois would be provided with an extra level of protection, limiting the reach of federal agents. The letter, signed by Reps. Allen Skillicorn (R-Algonquin), David Welter (R-Morris), John Cabello (R-Machesney Park), Tom Morrison (R-Palatine), and Sens. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) and Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove), says elected officials, the federal government and law enforcement agencies are already dedicated to protecting individuals and the Constitution. “We agree in checks and balances, but the State should not interfere with lawful action by the federal government,” the letter says. Rauner is expected to sign the measure on Monday.)

 

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Rauner opens a breach with conservatives over Sanctuary State – John Kass  (DIERSEN: What are the logical extensions of this?  Rauner just gave $500,000 to the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Logical extensions of Rauner’s dumping more and more and more planks in IRP platform include more and more and more pressure on the IRP National Committeeman, IRP National Committeewoman, IRP officers and State Central Committee members, county party officers, and township/ward party officers to dump those precinct committeemen and captains who support the planks that Runer has dumped. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their party’s platform. The more planks in the IRP platform that Rauner dumps, the more that Rauner dumps the IRP.  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the planks in the IRP platform that he has dumped?  Does Rauner plan on winning in 2018 by stressing all the Republican Precinct Committeemen and Captains who he has dumped?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-bruce-rauner-john-kass-0827-20170825-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner a leader being unmercifully squeezed by Chicago Machine Democrats?  Or is he just another transactional man, a politician without a core, lost in the winds and beginning to frighten his campaign contributors? . . . “I said this could be the last straw, and every day I’m feeling it worse,” state Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, told me in an interview. “And this isn’t just the ‘right wing’ that’s angry. These are union members too, loyal union men trying to protect American jobs, and the last thing they need to see is a Republican governor making Illinois a sanctuary state.” McCarter’s part of southern Illinois decidedly voted for President Donald Trump, largely on Trump’s call to control illegal immigration. “In this 15th Congressional District, the president won (with) 70 percent,” McCarter said. “And for the governor to go against the president — and make illegal immigrants a priority as we’re facing a fiscal crisis in Illinois — it’s just not good policy and it’s not good politics.” Rauner isn’t going to pick up votes of Democrats or Latinos if he signs the sanctuary state bill. On Friday, he vetoed a bill mandating a $15 minimum wage. He won’t get love from the left. But now he’s looking squishy to his base, and that’s disastrous. It will cost him votes in the suburbs and downstate. And he can’t give votes away. . .”If Rauner signs this Sanctuary State thing, and his office said he’s going to sign it, then he’s complicating the message Republicans will be using in the elections,” McCarter said. “We’ll have to say, we support the governor on some things and not on others. That’s not what you want. That not a unified message. That’s not good politics. And it just makes the state House and Senate races more difficult.”)

In today’s dollars in 1966, I earned $9.49/hour. (SEE: https://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/items/1966-united-states-minimum-wage)  That job enabled me to earn and save enough money to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 a) that I used to commute to jobs cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline during the summer of 1966 and delivering mail 1966-1967 and b) that I used to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1967. In December of 1967, I sold it and used that money and money that I had earned and saved delivering mail to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s Republican Party has condemned white supremacists, within days of the president coming fire for his equivocating response to racially charged violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. “The racist beliefs of Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and other like-minded groups are completely inconsistent with the Republican Party’s platform”, a resolution passed by its national committee stated. It came after Mr Trump failed to condemn white supremacists in his initial response to the violence in Charlottesville, which left one woman dead. The US leader was criticized after he blamed the violence on “many sides”.)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/rnc-set-to-condemn-white-supremacy-but-makes-no-mention-of-trumps-remarks/2017/08/25/cb8c56d2-899d-11e7-a50f-e0d4e6ec070a_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican National Committee is expected to approve a resolution condemning racism and white supremacy at its summer meeting in Nashville — but don’t call it a rebuke of President Trump. “This has nothing to do with the president,” said the resolution’s sponsor, New Jersey RNC committeeman Bill Palatucci. “This is the RNC saying that racism and bigotry have no place in America.” Palatucci, an attorney who served as general counsel to Trump’s presidential transition committee, said that he began drafting the resolution on August 13, the day after a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville ended with the murder of a counterprotester. “The core issue was for us as RNC members to clearly and loudly denounce white supremacists,” explained Palatucci. “There can be no hesitation for the Party of Lincoln.” The resolution itself makes no mention of Trump or the president’s multiple reactions to Charlottesville, which led to three presidential advisory councils being disbanded as their members quit in protest. Instead, it states that “the racist beliefs of Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and others are completely inconsistent with the Republican Party’s platform,” and urges that “swift and certain justice be meted out to domestic terrorists.” Most of the remaining text focuses on the history of the party, and the need for colorblind policy and politics. “We recall that the Republican Party was founded in the struggle against slavery and a rejection of the racial beliefs underlying the institution of slavery,” the resolution reads. “The Republican Party subsequently led the fight to assure all human beings have equal standing before the law, promoting instead the foundational idea that each person be judged as an individual on merit and not on the color of skin or other circumstance of birth.” The RNC’s resolution nonetheless breaks from the president by condemning white nationalists specifically and not dovetailing into criticism of the left. It’s the latest of several Republican responses that have taken that tone, but have often been buried by coverage of the president. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel gave the party’s first official response to Charlottesville at an ill-timed August 14 event in Detroit designed to demonstrate the party’s ongoing outreach to black voters. “White supremacy, neo-Nazi, KKK and hate speech and bigotry are not welcome and [do] not have a home in the Republican Party,” McDaniel told reporters, as black Republicans waited for a closed-press roundtable to begin. “This isn’t a partisan issue. This is an American issue.” Over the next 10 days, Republicans in every state fended off questions about the president’s markedly different response to Charlottesville — condemning violence on “many sides,” attacking the “alt-left,” and occasionally being congratulated by white nationalist leaders for his tone. It was agonizing for Republicans who had tried, before Trump, to broaden the party’s appeal to non-white voters. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the highest profile black Republican in Congress, told Vice News that Trump’s “moral authority” had been compromised by his Charlottesville response. Michael Steele, who as the first black RNC chairman had apologized for the GOP’s racial politics, said after Charlottesville that his party was making a grave error by defending Trump. “In 2009, I declared the Southern Strategy of the GOP was dead. It was over,” Steele said on an August 15 episode of his Sirius XM radio show. “I am sad to say that in the course of the 2016 campaign, that strategy was revived. And now this seminal moment faces this party, where you’re either going to kill this bastard right off the top, just get rid of the Southern Strategy or you’re going to own it in perpetuity.” Outside of the Opryland complex, other Republicans were engaged in an argument about what else the party needed to do. On Tuesday, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) told reporters that a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, should be removed from the state capitol complex. But the leading Republican candidates for governor, including Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), stopped short of that, suggesting that the issue needed further debate in the Republican-controlled state legislature. And further away, the leadership of the Democratic National Committee accused Republicans of distracting from a crisis that they’d enabled long before Trump’s victory. “The Republican Party, led by President Trump, has cultivated a culture of hate through their rhetoric and policies,” said DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa. “A vote on a resolution doesn’t fix the systemic problems within the Republican party. When will they take responsibility, denounce racism and stop pursuing divisive policies like voter identification laws and extreme immigration reforms?” Republican officials, who entered the Nashville meeting celebrating a historic level of control in Washington and states, said that their resolution would at least clear up where they stood and where the president needed to arrive. “I think the vote on the resolution will be unanimous and I support it,” said Steve Duprey, an RNC committeeman from New Hampshire. “I do think it is useful to remind America that our party condemns all of these hate groups, and that while the President may have not articulated it as well as he could have initially, he too has been forceful in condemning racists, supremacists, the alt right, Nazis, and other hate groups.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: And though the vote was unanimous, some members had grumbled that the resolution was unnecessary and reflected unnecessary defensiveness. “It’s amazing that we have been lured into this argument that we’re not racists. It’s absurd,” said Colorado Republican Chairman Jeff Hays. “Why would we feel compelled to do that?”)

— Black lawmaker LaShawn Ford confronts Rauner on cartoon controversy – TAHMAN BRADLEY (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their operatives, and their dupes want you to apologize for?  Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their operatives, and their dupes have been scapegoaters who want me to apologize for causing all of their problems, for causing all of your problems, for causing all of my problems, and for causing all of everyone’s problems.  Most commonly, they blame me for their losing elections or for their almost losing elections.)
http://wgntv.com/2017/08/24/black-lawmaker-confronts-rauner-on-cartoon-controversy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, black lawmakers praised Governor Rauner for signing a bill to seal some criminal convictions.  It only made sense that we ask the lawmakers about that the Illinois Policy Institute cartoon making news. Rep. LaShawn Ford challenged the governor about it. “Let’s make it right today. Can you apologize?” he asked Rauner. Rauner replied,  “Let me be clear, I’m not apologizing for anything that I have nothing to do with.” This Illinois Policy Institute cartoon, which shows a black child asking a fat white man for money, continues to dog Rauner. This afternoon, after signing various criminal justice reform bills with several black lawmakers looking on,the governor had a chance to put the controversy to bed. “Governor, please join us in condemning hate and racism in any form in Illinois,” Ford said. “We in American stand united against racism,” Rauner said. But made no mention of the cartoon. The governor has faced enormous criticism for his response to the drawing which some have called racist. On Tuesday, the governor’s office released a statement saying, “…the governor – as a white male – does not have anything more to add to the discussion.” The governor would distance himself from that statement put out by his office. And overnight, Rauner’s entire communications team departed. “There are four folks who are not with us going forward,” he said. Four staffers were either fired or resigned including the two aides who worked on the “white male” statement. “I believe it was drafted by Diana Rickert and sent out on her e-mail by Laurel Patrick,” he said. WGN News asked the governor repeatedly today whether he agrees with the cartoon’s message but he won’t say. “Here’s the issue I have been talking about for years. We have a TIF system. A use of TIF districts, particular in the city of Chicago that is excessive,” he said.)

— Hospitality industry needs more immigrant workers to survive, report says – Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz  (DIERSEN: Have you ever washed dishes? I washed dishes for the minimum wage part-time 1964-1966 while I was a 16 and 17 year old high school student. That job enabled me to earn and save enough money to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that a) I used to commute to jobs cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline during the summer of in 1966 and delivering mail 1966-1967 and b) I used to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1967. In December of 1967, I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 with money that I had earned and saved delivering mail.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-hospitality-needs-more-immigrants-report-0825-biz-20170824-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Billy Lawless, shown in 2016 at a discussion about immigration reform in Chicago, said it has always been difficult to find dishwashers and table bussers, but now the labor crunch is across the board. His family owns the Gage, the Dawson and several other popular restaurants in the city. . .Leisure and hospitality jobs, which account for nearly 10 percent of employment in Illinois and across the Midwest, are disproportionately filled by immigrants, who not only wash dishes and clean hotel rooms but also launch small businesses that create more jobs, according to the report, released Thursday and the last in a series. . .But about 1.3 million hospitality workers across the country work without legal authorization. Twenty percent of the nation’s cooks and 28 percent of its dishwashers are here illegally, the report says. . .Lawless, himself an immigrant from Ireland and an advocate of immigration reform, said it has always been difficult to find dishwashers and table bussers, but now the labor crunch is across the board. . .Low pay and physically demanding work also make it difficult to fill certain jobs with U.S.-born workers who have other options. In the Chicago metro area, the mean wage for housekeepers is $12.81 an hour, or $26,650 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For dishwashers, the mean wage in the area is $10.88, or $22,620 a year.)

— According to IBIC, SB 31 a) prohibits state and local police from arresting or holding anyone based solely on immigration status and b) prohibits state and local police honoring ICE detainers unless they are sanctioned by a judge.  Of course, the aforesaid encourages people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally. Democrats want immigrants because they vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because the want cheap labor. Libertarians want pot to be legalized. One could argue that Libertarians want illegals because they bring them pot.

The message was in response to a draft of the rally article that was intended for the newspaper’s final edition. “Could we please just stick to reporting what he said rather than packaging it in exegesis and selective criticism?” Baker wrote in a follow-up email.

Gilroy said she didn’t object to nonprofit raffles when they held the only games in the area and were subject to limits on betting and frequency. But Illinois lawmakers have expanded gambling statewide for decades. They first allowed horse racing, then the lottery in 1974, followed by 10 casinos in 1990, and authorized video gaming in bars, restaurants and other locations 2009. As gambling has burgeoned, Gilroy has crusaded against it, believing it reflects an erosion of values. She speaks at local and state hearings and helped shut down numerous raffles. In 2005, she forced a foundation named for former Chicago Bears great Richard Dent to comply with the law to raffle off a $200,000 Bentley. Gilroy has claimed some victories, as some local governments have banned video gambling. Along the way, she’s been called every name in the book for interfering with good causes, but says the end doesn’t justify the means. Without the laws being enforced, she said, bettors have no way of knowing if their money is being stolen or misused. “I want the law to be followed, so everybody’s protected,” Gilroy said. “Doesn’t the law matter anymore?”)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, the news media acts like it exists to harm Trump and to harm Trump’s supporters.
http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/trump-berates-sick-news-media-in-fresh-tirade/796343102
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Think President Trump couldn’t ratchet up his attacks on the news media any more than he already has? Think again. At a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday, the President called journalists “liars” and “sick people” who are fomenting “division” in the country and “trying to take away our history and our heritage.” And he repeatedly portrayed the news media as an enemy of the American people, recalling his claims to that effect from February. “I really think they don’t like our country. I really believe that,” Trump said. Afterward, several prominent members of the media said the President’s anti-press rhetoric was downright dangerous, because it could lead individuals to try to harm journalists. While the President complaints about “fake news” on an almost daily basis, Tuesday seemed especially severe.)

FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE

http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/267668/cnn-and-splc-daniel-greenfield
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map is one of the longest running malicious jokes on the internet.  And by running its smears against the Freedom Center, CNN has gone full fake news. What other list of hate groups can boast that it actually caused a terrorist attack? The SPLC’s hate map can. Floyd Lee Corkins admitted that he chose his target for the Family Research Center shooting spree by using the SPLC’s map. What other list of hate groups added a target of an ISIS terror attack after the attack. Only the SPLC’s hate map. The SPLC announced it was adding Bosch Fawstin, award-winning ex-Muslim cartoonist and longtime illustrator at Front Page Magazine, after the Garland cartoon contest that he won was targeted by ISIS in its first attack in America. What other list of hate groups featured a sign outside a bar as one of its groups.)
