WASHINGTON POST
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: An anti-Trump says “Your everyday Republican has some galling views.” According to my critics/opponents, not only does everyone have the right to punish me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, everyone should punish me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They especially want the following to punish me: a) Milton Township Republican Central Committee, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee, c) Illinois Republican Party, d) all the Republican officials who represent my precinct, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, e) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, f) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, g) Illinois Center Right Coalition, h) American Association of Political Consultants, i) etc.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/your-everyday-republican-has-some-galling-views/2018/08/10/96b78edc-9bfc-11e8-b60b-1c897f17e185_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The views of rank-and-file Republicans, captured in voter surveys, are nothing less than galling. Let’s lead with a poll conducted by the global marketing firm Ipsos and reported by the Daily Beast. It found that 43 percent of self-identified Republicans said they believed “the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior.” When asked if President Trump should shut down The Post, CNN and the New York Times, 23 percent of Republicans said yes. These findings are obviously troubling to me as a member of the Fourth Estate. But in the Trump era, assaults on the media come with the territory. More disturbing to me as a citizen is that those Trump cultists would knowingly and willingly give him the power to trample on the First Amendment, destroying an essential part of our democracy that he doesn’t like. That is appalling. They either don’t know or care about what Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote in New York Times Co. v. United States in 1971: The Founding Fathers intended that “the press was to serve the governed, not the governors.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As you can see, in its ongoing efforts to wrangle cable news invites, TWS is adopting the exact same Orwellian language we hear from the book burners in the establishment media and from Social Justice Warriors–buzzwords like “healthy” and “optimal” and “be better.” This is the language of censors, of those who purge heretics for wrongthink under the guise of doing what is best for “the community.” You see, they are the ones who know what opinions and ideas we should and should not have access to — for our own good. Jonathan Last’s piece is also peppered with the non-argument that private companies should be allowed to set their own “standards,” even though no one is calling on these monster-sized companies not to have standards.)

— CNN Wants White Children to See Race, Not to ‘Be Kind to Everyone’ – Joel B. Pollak (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) they are not racist and b) everyone else is racist.)
https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/08/10/pollak-cnn-wants-white-children-to-see-race-not-to-be-kind-to-everyone/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CNN published an op-ed on Thursday that advises the parents of white children to begin educating them to notice racial differences at an early age — “constantly going out of our way to name differences” — rather than teaching them simply to “be kind to everyone.” Parents of white children must also bring them to social spaces “where they aren’t in the overwhelming racial majority,” and teach them about “more people of color freedom fighters than the few they hear about at school” to encourage “antiracist behaviors.” That is just some of the advice from Drake University professor Jennifer Harvey in an article titled, “Raising white kids to be racially sensitive — and proactive.” The obvious implication is that white children have a unique racist burden that others do not. CNN often accuses President Donald Trump of racism and of dividing Americans by race, often on the basis of its own imaginings, such as the (false) claim he only refers to black people, e.g. LeBron James, as “dumb.”)

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/08/02/speaker_race_if_trump_endorses_will_it_matter.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative outside groups are already getting behind Jordan. Leaders of these organizations say he is dedicated to upholding Trump’s agenda and would help rally the base in the upcoming midterms. Some have even planned ad campaigns to help elect Jordan as speaker. “This is of course about base and turnout, and you left some big tickets from the Trump agenda on the cutting room floor,” said Adam Brandon, president of the conservative group FreedomWorks, naming Obamacare repeal and immigration reform as the top items. “Jim Jordan has credibility with the base on all of those issues.” He added that it’s unlikely Trump will make an endorsement in the race. “I actually think that President Trump will work with whoever is speaker. I would advise him to stay out of it right now,” Brandon said. Another conservative leader said that while it’s unclear whom the president will endorse, Jordan is more in line with his agenda. “The President has praised Jordan many times. … [L]ike Trump, he wants to accomplish right now what was promised to the American people,” said Brent Bozell, president of ForAmerica, in a statement. Jordan’s path to the speakership will likely be difficult regardless of whether the president weighs in. Ryan has already given McCarthy his support and said that most Republicans see him as the successor. “I think we all believe that Kevin is the right person,” said Ryan in an interview with NBC News in April after he announced his retirement.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner says AG should prosecute Madigan – Doug Finke
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20180809/rauner-says-ag-should-prosecute-madigan
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner Thursday said the state’s attorney general should be prosecuting House Speaker Michael Madigan, although he was vague about what. At a Statehouse bill signing ceremony, Rauner was asked about his comments earlier in the day that Erika Harold will go after the speaker if elected. Harold is the Republican candidate for attorney general. She is facing Democrat Kwame Raoul. “I’m giving her a million dollars which is a lot of money for me,” Rauner said during an interview on a southern Illinois radio station Thursday morning. I need her to win. (Current attorney general) Lisa Madigan has defended the corruption of her dad. Erika Harold will prosecute Madigan and the corruption.” But Rauner couldn’t say what crimes he thinks the speaker has committed. Rauner again complained that Madigan’s law firm does property tax appeals work. Rauner said that is wrong when policies set by the General Assembly can affect property taxes. “He’s on both sides of that,” Rauner said. “It’s corrupt. It’s a fundamental conflict of interest.” However, it is not illegal. Rauner said it should be. Harold spokesman Aaron DeGroot said Harold “will investigate and pursue any allegation of wrongdoing or corruption at any level of government in Illinois as attorney general.” He also said Harold has called for lawmakers to give the office additional authority to crack down on public corruption, such as authority to convene a statewide grand jury and issue subpoenas. Rauner also criticized Lisa Madigan for failing to root out corruption.)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=52088
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday that an upper-middle class “with soccer moms with two vans and stuff” no longer exists in America, The Daily Caller reported. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez discussed Democratic strategies and her idea of socialism in America during an interview for “Pod Save America.” “Their heyday was in the ’90s when kids had like Furbies and you had like soccer moms with two vans and stuff,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said. “That’s not America anymore!” The New York Democrat, who unseated long-time incumbent, Rep. Joe Crowley, suggested the older members of her party are out of touch. She said they don’t understand how rising income inequality has shaped the political landscape. During the conversation, the rising Democratic star said her party is not investing in younger candidates. She said that established Democrats are “feverishly working” on their own re-elections, but neglecting to support rising younger campaigns is why Republicans are winning. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez explained that these older representatives relied on a demographic that no longer exists. “A lot of these folk were in their political heyday in third-way ’90s politics,” she said, “I think that like politically this upper-middle class is probably more moderate, but that upper-middle class does not exist anymore in America.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A local resident of District 200 has taken appropriate steps to hold the School Board accountable to the law. Jan Shaw, the founder of “DuPage Watchdog“, a local government accountability organization, filed a verified complaint for Declaratory Judgement, Mandamus, and Injunctive Relief against the District 200 School Board today. You can see her Press Release at this link. Back in March of this year, we published this article pertaining to the School District 200’s intentions to build a new school in spite of the majority of voters shooting down multiple referendums in their attempts to move forward with building a new school. It appears the facts laid out in our article as well as Shaw’s multiple articles on this matter have fallen on deaf ears. The School Board is moving forward against the will of the people and in contradiction to the law, in our opinion, and that of multiple other attorneys. We are pleased to see our information is shared as part of the exhibits to support the allegations in the complaint.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— ‘Too Little Too Late’: Bankruptcy Booms Among Older Americans – Tara Siegel Bernard (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I am not in bankruptcy or headed for bankruptcy a) because I was born a healthy White male, b) because I have always benefited from my parents’, my grandparents’, and the rest of my ancestors’ discrimination against minorities and against females, c) because I avoided the draft, d) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, e) because I married someone who always had income, and f) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/05/business/bankruptcy-older-americans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For a rapidly growing share of older Americans, traditional ideas about life in retirement are being upended by a dismal reality: bankruptcy. The signs of potential trouble — vanishing pensions, soaring medical expenses, inadequate savings — have been building for years. Now, new research sheds light on the scope of the problem: The rate of people 65 and older filing for bankruptcy is three times what it was in 1991, the study found, and the same group accounts for a far greater share of all filers. Driving the surge, the study suggests, is a three-decade shift of financial risk from government and employers to individuals, who are bearing an ever greater responsibility for their own financial well-being as the social safety net shrinks. The transfer has come in the form of, among other things, longer waits for full Social Security benefits, the replacement of employer-provided pensions with 401(k) savings plans and more out-of-pocket spending on health care. Declining incomes, whether in retirement or leading up to it, compound the challenge.)

— These are the 10 cars that drivers keep the longest after buying them brand new – Brian Pascus (DIERSEN: How long have you owned your cars? I have owned my 1972 Chevy Corvette for almost 47 years, my 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX for almost 23 years, my 2003 Chevy Cavalier for more than 8 years, my 2005 Chevy Corvette for almost 13 years, my 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max for almost 6 years, and my 2016 Ford Mustang for more than 2 years.)
https://www.businessinsider.com/cars-drivers-keep-the-longest-after-buying-them-new-2018-8
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “While the average car buyer gets rid of their car 7.4 years after purchasing it new, there is a wide variety of cars that owners are more likely to keep for longer,” said iSeeCars CEO Phong Ly in a press statement. “Many factors could contribute to a car’s longevity such as its function as shown by the dominance of family vehicles, or because of a fondness of a timeless classic like the Chevrolet Corvette.” The Ford Expedition earned the prize of being the car owners hold onto for the longest period of time, with an average rate of nine years. The other SUVs included in the top-10 ranking are the Toyota Sequoia, the Chevrolet Suburban, the Toyota 4Runner and the Ford Explorer. “These vehicles tend to be family haulers, which means that parents are likely to keep them for longer than average and not replace them until a large family vehicle is no longer necessary,” said Ly in his statement. The only sports car to make the list was the Chevrolet Corvette, which ranked second. The only minivan, the Honda Odyssey, came in ranked tenth.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/realestate/elitestreet/ct-re-elite-street-dwayne-wade-matteson-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A four-bedroom, 2,280-square-foot house in south suburban Matteson that is owned by basketball star Dwyane Wade has been on the market since May for $269,900. A South Side native who starred at Richards High School in Oak Lawn before attending Marquette University, Wade, 36, has played in the NBA for 16 years, most of the time for the Miami Heat. He played a year for the Bulls in 2016-2017. Public records show that Wade bought the house new in 2006 with his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, for $390,000. After the couple’s divorce, Wade was awarded the house in 2014. Now, Wade is trying to sell the house, which is in Matteson’s Newbury Estates neighborhood. The house has three baths, a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, a family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar, and a master suite with a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a tray ceiling overlooking the family room. Wade first listed the house in May for $290,000 and last month cut his asking price to $269,900.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sauer’s immediate successor in the legislature will be selected by a group formed by Lake County Republican Party leader Mark Shaw and Barrington Township Republican committeeman Chris Geissler, representing the small Cook County portion of the 51st District. Shaw doesn’t know if the GOP will nominate the same person to run in November, which is a separate process. Shaw plans to consult Republican House Leader Jim Durkin on the decisions. Republican officials typically would seek applicants, Shaw said. But time is short because ballots must be finalized and certified by Aug. 30.)

GUNS
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Historic gun show homeless after new firearm policy at fairgrounds – Chris Eger (DIERSEN: Those who work against the Second Amendment plank in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform almost always also work against the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and the rest of the planks in the IRP platform.)
https://www.guns.com/2018/07/24/historic-gun-show-homeless-after-new-firearm-policy-at-fairgrounds/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois gun group said they have been forced out of their home of over 50 years due to limits placed on their regular shows by the local fair board. The Pioneer Valley Sportsman’s Association announced this week that restrictions on new shows demanded by the DuPage County Fair Association Board have brought about the demise of their long-held gun show at the public venue. The group said they have held a monthly event at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton each October through April for a half-century but the new policy advocated by the board has gone too far and the officials refused to negotiate a compromise.)

AMERICAN THINKER

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/398566-trump-im-concerned-russia-may-interfere-in-election-to-help-democrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The analysis comes as Sabato shifted 17 House races in favor of Democrats, with several vulnerable Republicans, including Rep. Pete Roskam (R-Ill.), seeing their races move from “likely Republican” to “toss-up” in the ratings.)

NBC NEWS
— Pew poll: GOP sours on the FBI (DIERSEN: One of the reasons why I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old is that GAO employees are less hated than IRS employees are.)
https://www.nbcnews.com/card/pew-poll-gop-sours-fbi-n894016
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pew Research Center finds that favorable views of the FBI have dropped 16 percentage points among Republicans since early 2017, shortly before the president took office. What’s more, negative views of the bureau have doubled within the party during the same period of time. Just 49 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents now say they have a positive opinion of the bureau, while 44 percent give it negative marks. That’s compared with 65 percent of Republicans who gave the FBI a thumbs up just 18 months ago (and 21 percent who disagreed) — about a three-to-one margin.)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5986969/Top-political-prognosticator-says-Democrats-favored-wipe-Republican-majority.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Race-by-race rankings are moving several GOP incumbents into the tossup category. Among them are Texas Rep. John Culberson, Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam, Indiana Rep. Steve Chabot, and Iowa Rep. David Young. Culberson and Roskam’s districts both went for Hillary Clinton, and longtime incumbent Chabot was outraised by Democratic challenger Aftab Pureval last quarter.)
