(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 19-year-old man has been charged with killing his pregnant girlfriend and her 16-year-old brother, Chicago police said. Investigators said Darryl Harris got into a fight with Elijah House earlier this month, police said. Harris left the victim’s South Chicago home in the 8000-block of South Shore Drive and returned with a gun, shooting House in the back several times, police said. Harris then turned the gun on his girlfriend 20-year-old Emoni House. The siblings’ mother was also shot along with a 30-year-old woman, police said. They both survived. Harris, of Chicago, has been charged with two felony counts of first degree murder and two felony counts of aggravated battery discharging of a firearm, police said. He has also been charged with misdemeanor counts of intent homicide of an unborn child, reckless conduct, possession of cannabis 10-20 grams, obstructing identification and resisting a police officer.)

CBS2
— VERY SAD: Students Host Unity Rally In Naperville – Bob Roberts  (DIERSEN: Democrats want students to be anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/11/11/students-host-unity-rally-in-naperville/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four-hundred students and west suburbanites took part in a post-election unity rally Friday on the North Central College campus, in Naperville. Signs read “Unity, not hate,” and organizers called the rally a “march on love.” WBBM’s Bob Roberts reports. But many misgivings were aired at the 45-minute rally. Students spoke about fear of discrimination on the basis of religion, sexual preference and legal status. Openly gay North Central sophomore Tommy Verdala said he does not know what to expect from a Trump administration, especially from Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Junior Kaitlin Roydal said she has many misgivings but decided she did not have time for fear to become hate. The College Democrats sponsored the rally, but club President Kevin Oyakawa said he and the club have received compliments from campus conservatives for their effort to dial down campus tensions.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— BEYOND DISGUSTING: Video gambling interests betting on politicians’ backing – BGA  (DIERSEN: Gambling is a vice. If you promote video gambling, you promote vice.  If you promote vice, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican. Democrats and RINOs promote vice.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/bga-video-gambling-interests-betting-on-politicians-backing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In February 2014, eight days before it applied for a liquor license, Illinois’ largest chain of gambling parlors contributed $1,000 to the political fund of Elmwood Park Mayor Angelo “Skip” Saviano. Blackhawk Restaurant Group got the liquor license. It since has given another $2,000 to Saviano, who doubles as the suburb’s liquor commissioner. And it has taken in $622,000 since August 2014 from its video-gambling machines in Elmwood Park. “If people want to participate in the political process, they can, and they will,” Saviano says. “Sometimes, they give. Sometimes, they don’t.” The video gambling industry operates more than 24,000 machines statewide — enough to stock 20 full-service casinos. To continue to grow, it has given more than $1 million in the past eight years to Illinois politicians, election records show. Giving money to politicians “allows us to educate them to make decisions,” says Pete Pontius, director of loss prevention and compliance for video gambling machine owner B&B Amusement. Video gambling in Illinois is big business, with more than $32 billion in bets on the machines generating $784 million in state and local taxes since the machines went live in 2012. The biggest portion of that revenue — about $1.8 billion — is split between the thousands of small establishments where people go to play the games and the 55 companies that own the machines and lease them out. In the Chicago area, video gambling interests have given more than $83,000 since 2012 to mayors, who typically must sign off on liquor licenses because they also serve as liquor commissioner for their communities.)

— See why Trump protesters are wearing safety pins after Donald Trump’s big win – Chris Enloe  (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on marginalizing others?)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/12/see-why-trump-protesters-are-wearing-safety-pins-after-donald-trumps-big-win/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many Americans are wearing safety pins on their shirts following President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive win over Democrat Hillary Clinton earlier this week to show they are a “safe space” for those who feel hurt by Trump’s victory. The pins became a symbol of marginalized people following the Brexit vote earlier this summer, when Great Britain narrowly voted to leave the European Union.)
— ‘An absolute embarrassment’: This Democratic senator lashes out at Harry Reid over Trump comments – Chris Enloe
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/12/an-absolute-embarrassment-this-democratic-senator-lashes-out-at-harry-reid-over-trump-comments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) sharply criticized Democratic senatorial leader Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.) late Friday, calling the longtime Democratic leader “an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation.”  Manchin’s comments came in response to Reid releasing a statement on Friday that completely denounced President-elect Donald Trump. In part, Reid labeled Trump a “sexual predator” that “lost the popular vote.”  Machin, who is one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate, believes Reid’s outright opposition to the will of the people is a disgrace — and that it’s only helping to further divide the nation. “I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” Manchin said of Reid, according to a statement. “As difficult as it is for anyone to lose an election, the American people have spoken and Donald Trump is our President-elect. Senator Reid’s words needlessly feed the very divisiveness that is tearing this country apart.” “We are Americans first, not Democrats or Republicans first,” he added. “Unfortunately, there are some who forget that at times like these it is wrong to put party and politics above our country.” Several news publications on Election Day reported that Manchin would begin to caucus with the Republicans in the Senate, but he later denied the reports. Manchin is up for re-election in 2018.)
