DAILY HERALD
— Governor’s dress code Hat tip to Democratic state Sen. Cristina Castro of Elgin for noticing a literal costume change on the Senate floor involving Gov. Bruce Rauner during the special session last week, where lawmakers approved education funding. Rauner, a Winnetka Republican known for his casual dress, appeared on the Senate floor without a tie — a violation of the chamber’s dress code. The sergeant at arms had the governor don a tie — with the only extra one on hand bearing the Senate Democrats logo. – Kerry Lester

— Trump tweets reassurance about DACA at Pelosi’s urging – AP (DIERSEN: What gave you assurance? For me, because I was a Republican who worked for Democrats, it was civil service protections. Were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986. But those civil service protections a) did NOT stop my Democrat GAO superiors from forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) did NOT stop my Democrat IRS superiors from not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) did NOT stop my Democrat Post Office superiors from forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— A dream deferred? For this young architect, the answer could be yes – RAFAEL ROBLES (DIERSEN: Were your career dreams deferred? If so, when? In 1969, when I was 20 years old, my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign saying I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in session. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear that they would not promote me any more. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. After 1986, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would not promote any more. My Democrat GAO superiors always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— Rahm Emmanuel’s Dream Of A ‘Trump-Free Chicago’ Isn’t Going To Happen – Anders Hagstrom (DIERSEN: Constructively, Emmanuel and Chicago have declared war on America.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/07/rahm-emmanuels-dream-of-a-trump-free-chicago-isnt-going-to-happen/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner rejected Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel’s call for a bill of rights for immigrants Wednesday, claiming that only Congress could pass such a law. Emmanuel called for the bill of rights after declaring Chicago a “Trump-free zone” Tuesday in response to President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the Chicago Tribune reported. While Rauner denied Emmanuel’s request, the governor was not opposed to further protections for illegal immigrants. Instead, he called on Congress to take action. “I do not believe this challenge for these children can be addressed on a state-by-state basis,” Rauner said. “I think that would not be correct, would not be the right solution. We need a comprehensive immigration reform. It should be done on the federal level for the entire nation, and it should be done by Congress.” Rauner signed legislation to make Illinois a “sanctuary state” last week, preventing law enforcement from arresting illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. But after the Trump administration’s DACA repeal announcement, Emmanuel wasn’t satisfied. The mayor filed a resolution with the Chicago City Council Wednesday, calling on Rauner to adopt a bill of rights for “Dreamers.” He made the announcement at Solorio Academy High School, where more than one third of the students are illegal immigrants. “Chicago, our schools, our neighborhoods, our city, as it relates to what President Trump said, will be a Trump-free zone. You have nothing to worry about,” Emanuel said while visiting the high school. “And I want you to know this, and I want your families to know this. And rest assured, I want you to come to school … and pursue your dreams.”)

Because I have always been a Republican, while I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, I always had to worry about what my Democrat superiors would do next to get rid of me. To counter their efforts to get rid of me, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
