http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-republicans-michael-madigan-20180819-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The head of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association says the governor’s use of his personal wealth to rebuild the state Republican Party is breaking the GOP. Doug House sought to differentiate between Rauner giving millions of dollars to the state Republican Party and J.B. Pritzker’s cash helping to rebuild the Democratic Party. “He broke the Republican Party. He took a large amount of money and set it in front of a fan and turned it on and it just spread across the state Republican Party in a way that did motivate or make them enthusiastic for their candidacy, but it didn’t do anything to build their party. It didn’t create any infrastructure. It didn’t motivate and bring out any activists and build the party through people,” House said Sunday on WGN-AM 720. “Once that money’s gone and once that resource is gone, I feel that he’s broken the Republican Party in a way they will have forgotten what they have learned in terms of raising money and in terms of that grassroots infrastructure type of things they did,” he said. In contrast, House said Pritzker’s money has helped set up the “Blue Wave Illinois” program that included candidate recruitment, training and organizational help for county Democratic organizations across the state that work in building grassroots support. Democrats, House said, have “certainly benefited by his enthusiasm but also by the resources he’s brought to bear to help rebuild and re-energize our party across the state. He’s expressed a genuine interest from the very beginning in the introduction of himself and his campaign that he was interested in helping to build the party.”)

She worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/u-s-league-of-savings-institutions.asp) which had quarterly meetings at luxury destinations across America which she attended as its Corporate Secretary. I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats promote a Democrat who says “Good Republicans can vote Dem.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What do you say to those in Illinois who cast Republican primary ballots, who become Republican precinct committeemen/captains, who get elected to leadership positions in Republican organizations, who get elected as Republicans to government offices, etc., but who talk and act like they are really Democrats, Libertarians, or Greens? They fail/refuse to promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform. They promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

WIREPOINTS
— Unbalanced Illinois…again and again and again – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner (DIERSEN: What, if anything, has unbalanced you budget for this year? For me it was my 1972 Corvette. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval replica tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing damage that ethanol did to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

The aforesaid unfortunate facts frustrated efforts by my critics/opponents to paint me as being someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has always been privileged.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/karenhigginbottom/2018/08/19/employers-slowly-making-progress-on-social-mobility-in-workforce/#5660b3ab5181
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A majority of employers asked their new employees whether or not their parents went to University or the type of school they attended; 4 in 10 also asked their current employees these questions, according to the Index. So there is still more work to do. Social mobility has declined in the last 30 years in the UK and in particular, fair access to the professions. The statistics are pretty damning: only 7% of the population attend independent schools but the privately-educated account for more than half of the top level of most professions, including 70% of high court judges, 54% of top journalists and 54% of chief executive officers of FTSE100 companies, according to a Sutton Trust report.)
