https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2017/09/09/top-republican-slams-dojs-terrible-decision-n2379041
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I have the utmost respect for Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions, but I’m troubled by his Department’s lack of action to fully respond to our request and deliver accountability,” Brady said in a statement. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) was just as peeved, calling the DOJ’s decision a “miscarriage of justice.” This is the second time Lerner has escaped accountability for the Tea Party-targeting scandal. Back in 2015, she was cleared of charges. An investigation found rampant “mismanagement” within the IRS, but no evidence of criminal activity.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-vfw-raffle-morris-met-20170906-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The anti-gambling crusader who complained about the raffle to the state gaming board, Kathy Gilroy, of suburban Villa Park, said that by law the raffle proceeds that were previously collected illegally should be forfeited to the county, but club officials have no plans to do that. Gilroy said she was the target of more than 600 comments on the Morris VFW Facebook page calling her “every name in the book,” and one saying commenters should “shut her down.” Gilroy also maintained that the Queen of Hearts game does not fit in the framework of the Illinois Raffles and Poker Runs Act, which requires license applicants to name the prize amount, length of ticket sales and date to determine winners. “Those running a Queen of Hearts game or other progressive raffles have no way of predicting how much money will be won or when,” she wrote.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WHAT THE IL GOP PLATFORM SAYS ABOUT IMMIGRATION  (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.  In Illinois, if you got elected or appointed to a government office or a political office as a Republican, and you do not defend and advance the Illinois Republican Party platform, you should immediately resign.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/09/what-the-il-gop-platform-says-about-immigration.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the Illinois Republican Party’s 2016 Convention, the state’s GOP delegates overwhelmingly supported a platform that contained this strong plank on the issue of immigration. It emphasized a “front door” policy. The issue plank concluded with these words that rank and file Republicans are saying has been totally ignored by the IL GOP leadership – including Governor Rauner – despite Republicans throughout the state supporting this position: “We call on the Illinois government to assist our federal government in the mission of protecting our homeland. We therefore urge reversal of “sanctuary city” policies, which bar our law enforcement officers from aiding Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents. Border control is a national security and public safety issue. We further call on the federal government to secure and protect our borders and vigorously enforce the law of the land. We further call on the federal and Illinois government to abandon all incentives that encourage illegal immigrants to settle in Illinois, as these incentives put a strain on our already struggling economy and is insulting to those who immigrated here legally.” Does the Illinois Republican Party’s platform mean anything at all?  Should IL GOP demand their party officials adhere to the platform rather than ignore it? The platform plank as accepted in 2016:)

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. Baker’s emails ended up in the hands of New York Times reporter Michael Grynbaum on Wednesday.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner tells reporters to not question wife’s role in the administration – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: When Republican elected officials act against the Republican Party platform, overwhelmingly, it is because that is what their wife wants them to do.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could say Gov. BRUCE RAUNER was not a happy man last week. A couple of media outlets filed open records requests to get emails sent by first lady DIANA RAUNER on a state email account. It was not a question of trying to get emails sent on a personal account. One reason was to determine if the first lady had a hand in all of the recent staff changes, as many suspect. Anyway, according to Politico, the request was denied citing two exemptions in the state’s open records law. One exempts communication with an attorney that would not be revealed in court, and the other covers preliminary drafts, notes and etc. If you’ve used the Freedom of Information Act, you know that the preliminary drafts exemption can be used to conceal a whole lot of stuff. The news outlets did stories about the denials on Tuesday. The whole thing seemed to be on the governor’s mind Tuesday afternoon when he did an availability at the fair. “Reporters have been calling asking if my wife has been very involved in the staff changes that have gone on in my office over the last month or two,” he said. “I think the inquiries, the questions themselves are pathetic. I think they are terrible. I think it just shows how desperate my political opponents are to try to attack my through attacking my wife. I think it’s disgusting.” He went on to say he decides who is on his senior staff. Remarkably, he wasn’t asked a question about the issue, he just launched into it at the end of the availability.)
— Sam McCann – Doug Finke
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170819/statehouse-insider-rauner-tells-reporters-to-not-question-wifes-role-in-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The one Senate Republican who voted to override Rauner’s amendatory veto of the school funding bill was SAM McCANN of Plainview. It was not the first time McCann has voted against the wishes of the governor. Last week, Senate Republican Leader BILL BRADY of Bloomington was asked if McCann was still welcome in the Senate Republican caucus. “He’s a Republican. He’s welcome,” Brady said. “Everyone’s got to vote their district.” Brady said he was unhappy McCann didn’t give fellow Republicans a heads-up on how he would vote. But Brady was willing to forgive McCann if McCann thought he was voting how his constituents wanted. Their constituents are telling them to support the governor because as originally passed by the General Assembly, the education funding bill is a Chicago bailout that should be stopped.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— 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.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170731/state-cuts-2017-funds-for-voter-registration-integrity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Local election authorities will lose more than $4.4 million in grant funds this year that pay for, among other things, purging ineligible names from voter registration rolls. But officials say they are used to the roller coaster nature of election funding. Amy Kelly, the assistant to the executive director of the Illinois State Board of Elections, notified county clerks of the bad news at the beginning of July. Six election bodies applied for at least $100,000 from what’s known as the IVRS Lump Sum Grant. In addition to voter registration integrity, the grant helps fund voter registration equipment and corresponding software licensing fees. The grant typically functions as a reimbursement for money already spent for such efforts. The money for 2017 became one of the many funding casualties in the state budget debate.)

Since 1997, I have suffered a $72,135/year (59%) deficit in today’s dollars because my Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” In 1997, my GS-13 Step 10 GAO salary was $122,991 in today’s dollars and my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $50,856.)

In my defense, if I was that bad, 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.)

MSN
— The Final Humiliation of Reince Priebus – Molly Ball  (DIERSEN: What humiliations have you suffered? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I caused all of the aforesaid humiliation.)

Chances Are, Yes. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: I would be working if I had to replace some or all of the $72,135/year in today’s dollars that I have lost and will forever lose because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $122,991/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $50,856/year.)
