CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— HARDCOPY LETTER TITLE: Mayor Lightfoot, stop scorning Trump – Tim Schneider,
Illinois Republican Party chairman, Chicago (DIERSEN: This letter to the
editor, and others like it, should be in the inbox of a) every Republican
Precinct Committeeman/Captain in Illinois, b) every Republican Party leader in
Illinois, c) every Republican elected official in Illinois, etc. GOPUSA
ILLINOIS emails continue to fill the tremendous Republican communication void
in Illinois.)

(FROM THE LETTER TO THE
EDITOR: President Donald Trump came to Chicago on Monday and told the truth
about our dysfunctional government — and Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the news
media got the vapors, gasping that he insulted Chicago and its wonderful citizens.
Fake news — again! I was with President Trump over lunch, and listened to his
candid and often very humorous assessment of challenges and opportunities for
our nation. He demonstrated a grasp of world events that was remarkable, and he
laid out his strategy and assessments in plain, direct language. He started
with Chicago, “this beautiful place that’s run so poorly.” He recounted his
call to the mayor and offer to work together — and shrugged at the silence
since. He expressed heartbreak at the ongoing violence in too many
neighborhoods, pointing out that it should be inexcusable for some of us not to
be better protected by our government. He pointed out how he supported the
members of the Chicago Police Department as he mocked the showboating by police
Superintendent Eddie Johnson. I witnessed firsthand his rapport with
rank-and-file officers and their support for this president. Everything he said
reflected a concern for the people of Chicago and a love of this great city,
even as he scorned weak leadership. Mere days after the superintendent was
found asleep in his car at a stop sign, must we all extol him despite the
city’s high crime rate and his evident failures of leadership? Chicago is a
wonderful city, but the people of the city and all the amenities it offers, are
separate and distinct from our city government. Chicago is great, but our lousy
government drags it down. For example, during CTU’s 10-plus-day strike,
students languished, once-in-lifetime sporting experiences were missed, as
teachers danced to Michael Jackson tunes. And over what? Mayor Lightfoot and
the functionally insolvent Chicago Public Schools offered teachers $100,000,
along with Cadillac pension and health benefits, for nine months of work each
year — as an opening bid! There’s nothing here that should be criticized? So,
please give it a rest, Mayor Lightfoot: You should embrace the Trump
administration and seek help for our problems. Instead of looking for ways to
fight the president, why not sit with him and share ideas on how to improve our
home? If by working together you improve or save one life, then you’ve made our
great city even better.)
— Twitter’s political ad ban is disingenuous – LEONID BERSHIDSKY (DIERSEN:
What if I sought/accepted political ads on www.gopillinois.com and
in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? Which Republican political organizations, activists,
candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political
consultants, etc. would take out ads and what would those ads stress? Would
Trump, Republican National Committee (RNC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP),
DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican
Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. take out ads? Would the candidates in contested
races on the March 17, 2020 Republican primary ballot in my precinct take out
ads? Of course, I would only accept ads that defend/advance the RNC platform
and the IRP platform. In the past, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has taken out ads in IRP,
DCRCC, and MTRCC publications. Many IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc. leaders read GOPUSA
ILLINOIS emails.)

referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy
and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion,
opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the
last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently
$82,279-$93,592. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a
Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in
1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

— Make These Tax Moves for 2019 Before It’s Too Late Looking to lower your tax
bill? Here are a dozen steps to take as the end of the year approaches. – Laura
Saunders (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for
married filing jointly because the SALT cap discourages marriage and
homeownership.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/make-these-tax-moves-for-2019-before-its-too-late-11572600606
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
most common itemized deductions are for state and local taxes (SALT),
charitable donations and mortgage interest. Now that Congress has limited the
SALT deduction to $10,000 per return both for single and married joint filers,
it’s often easier for singles than couples to benefit from itemizing. For
example, a married couple who deducts the limit of $10,000 of SALT needs more
than $14,400 of other deductions to benefit from itemizing for 2019, because
their standard deduction is $24,400. But a single filer who deducts $10,000 of
SALT only needs other write-offs totaling more than $2,200, because his
standard deduction is $12,200.)
