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.)

If a man declares himself to be a woman, is he then entitled to all the massive benefits of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion?  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their employees who were female, that is, to discriminate against their employees who were male.

COMMON DREAMS
— Chicagoans to March in Solidarity Against White Supremacists – Solidarity Against White Supremacy  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that do not join them in viciously demonizing, viciously denigrating, and viciously condemning those that are Trump 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.)
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.”)

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. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-raffle-laws-illinois-morris-vfw-met-20170823-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The woman who complained to state authorities about the raffle, anti-gambling activist Kathy Gilroy of Villa Park, said that existing tickets were sold illegally, and should be refunded. 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?”)

(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.)

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.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— 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.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— The Illinois Eclipse: It’s not about Aug. 21. It’s every day. – Editorial  (DIERSEN: How long have your ancestors been in Illinois?  All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s and have been here ever since.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-illinois-eclipse-springfield-economy-0820-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Face it: No one comes to Illinois for the weather or to climb mountains. People come — or came — for opportunity. But that once-thriving state has receded into the shadow. Why? Because while surrounding states add jobs, Illinois grinds private-sector concerns in its gears. The nation generated a 1.3 percent average annual growth rate from 2006-16, but Illinois managed just 0.4 percent, according to James Broughel of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Wisconsin outstripped Illinois with a 0.7 percent rate, and Indiana’s was more than double this state’s, at 0.9 percent. In July, the state’s unemployment rate ticked up. That’s the same month that Springfield passed a 32 percent personal income tax hike — inviting more people and businesses to head for the exits. Thank you, Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan. And what about those promised reforms, such as overhauling workers’ compensation, that could persuade more businesses to come, stay or expand? Or pruning Illinois’ wildly overgrown local governments to ease taxpayer burdens — two of the items on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s pro-jobs agenda? What, say the ranking Democrats, us worry? We recently sized up this state’s economic competitiveness and quality of life in a series of measures. In capsule, Illinois leads the nation in the worst ways. You know about the lousy credit rating, the unfunded pension liabilities, the onerous regulations on employers. Once a colossus that overshadowed its Midwest neighbors, Illinois in eclipse can’t escape the shadow. Other states gain by offering a sunnier jobs climate. Wisconsin recently landed what could be a $10 billion Foxconn LCD panel factory that will employ as many as 13,000 people. How did Wisconsin prevail? By being close to Illinois but not Illinois. Foxconn sought to exploit Illinois’ assets — its transportation and logistical systems, its energy reliability — but avoid its ever-rising taxes, crushing public debts and never-ending political brink-dancing. Foxconn chose a state that does the basics, like pass a budget every year. In a state in eclipse, though, even that task is too difficult. In a state in eclipse, taxes rise with no offsetting reforms. In a state in eclipse, voters return the same failed pols to the legislature decade after decade in a triumph of naive hope over costly experience.)

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/transcript-of-fox-news-interview-with-illinois-governor-bruce-rauner.html
— WILL COUNTY CONSIDERS VOTE TO SAVE TAXPAYERS BY ENDING ELECTED OFFICIALS’ PENSIONS  (DIERSEN: To qualify for my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I had to work 40 hour per week 1971-1997, but I got full-time CSRS credit for 1966-1969 even though I only worked part-time.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/will-county-considers-vote-to-save-taxpayers-by-ending-elected-officials-pensions.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Asking Will County taxpayers to contact their board members before Thursday night’s meeting, Balich said there is no enforcement how many hours they work as they answer only to the public. “The IMRF the pension plan only requires 600 hours per year which is 11 ½ hours a week with reporting by the elected office holder. Pension double-dipping is another problem,” he wrote.)
