THE HILL
— Rauner: Protesting NFL players are ‘disrespecting the foundations of our country’ – AVERY ANAPOL
http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/352237-illinois-governor-protesting-nfl-players-are-disrespecting-the
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner said that NFL players protesting the National Anthem are “disrespecting” the flag, country, and anthem. The governor weighed in on the controversy to Politico after Sunday’s NFL game at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The entirety of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem, except for one player. “To me they are disrespecting the foundations of our country, the veterans who risked their lives for our democracy, and the men and women who fight every day and make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberties,” Rauner said through a spokesman. Rauner has a financial stake in the Steelers, according to Politico. The Republican governor said he did not condone the Steelers’ behavior, but that the First Amendment guarantees the right of players to “choose to be disrespectful.” “Our country is great because it guarantees freedom of expression,” Rauner said. President Trump has heavily criticized players for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. At an Alabama Senate campaign rally on Friday night, he called for NFL owners to fire athletes who protest the National Anthem, prompting several instances of players kneeling or staying in locker rooms during the anthem across the nation this weekend. The Chicago Bears stayed on the field during the anthem, linking arms in a display of unity while remaining standing. A team statement from the Bears said that the “divisive political situation” that the protests have brought on have unified the NFL by prompting dialogue between  “The Chicago Bears are proud to support our players, coaches and all members of our organization to bring peace and unity together through football,” the statement reads. “What makes this the greatest country in the world are the liberties it was founded upon and the freedom to express oneself in a respectful and peaceful manner.”)

I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who use Diersen v. GAO against me. They promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. But they play both sides of the fence and hint/imply/argue/shout that GAO was justified in wasting my career and getting rid of me because I am a bad person.)

(THE STATEMENT: Elected officials are welcome at our meetings, from every level of government and from every political persuasion. West Suburban Patriot’s members are very engaged in the political process and look forward to opportunities to meet representatives and hear about current legislative issues. Due to the structure and purpose of our meetings, we can’t provide them a platform to address the group for an entire meeting (unless we are holding a candidate forum), but we will certainly announce that they are in attendance, give them a few minutes to address the group, and encourage members to take time to introduce themselves and connect one-on-one. We ask elected officials to be conscious of the fact that we are a non-partisan group and to respect all of our members by not acting in an overtly partisan manner. We realize that getting our nation back on the right track will take the active participation of every citizen we can possibly draw in to our movement. Anyone who subscribes to the three tea party principles (fiscal responsibility, Constitutionally limited government, and free and fair markets) is welcome to join us. So that we know how much time to allocate for candidates, please contact Carol in advance to let us know that you are coming.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.” The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service. “Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.” All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.)

— The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life  (DIERSEN: Putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out twice each and every day causes me to lose a tremendous amount of sleep. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who pray for my death in churches in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois may get their prayers answered sooner than they think.)
