CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis now a factor in Chicago’s mayoral race. The GOP governor will be headlining an event for police in Elmhurst on Monday. Mayoral candidate Paul Vallas distanced himself from the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, which endorsed him, after it promoted the event.” I should write a book about closet Democrats in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2023/2/17/23605080/florida-gov-desantis-chicago-mayoral-race-vallas-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A casual reading of the DeSantis invite on the FOP site could leave an impression that somehow the FOP was a host or organizer, but that is not so. A GOP source told the Sun-Times the DeSantis political team was organizing the law enforcement event in the western suburb – not anyone in Illinois. FOP Lodge 7 President John Catanzara Jr. – an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump and up for re-election next month – told the Sun-Times he was contacted by “some people” with DeSantis, who he declined to name, to help promote the visit. Catanzara said “obviously” there “are people in Illinois that are interested in him running for higher office,” and since DeSantis was “coming to town to do a police speech,” Catanzara was asked, “Could I pass that information on to my members?” Catanzara’s reply: “Absolutely.” In a video posted Friday on YouTube, Catanzara said the DeSantis event “is not being hosted by Lodge 7” and that “all we are simply doing is promoting a speech that he is coming to town to give in support of the men and women of law enforcement in this state and in this country.” That the FOP was publicizing the DeSantis visit was enough for Vallas’ chief rivals, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, D-Ill., to jump all over Vallas and to try to make him wear the jacket for the DeSantis cultural warrior platform – a big minus to many Chicago voters. It also fueled Lightfoot’s campaign strategy to paint Vallas as a closet Republican in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats make it clear that they are going use the aforesaid power to get rid of Republicans once and for all. That does not justify January 6, but it explains January 6.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Ready for Ron Petition to Draft DeSantis Snags 200,000 Signatures.” Politics is nasty/vicious. Who has/will back DeSantis in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? I should write a book about backing Republican candidates in primaries and in nonpartisan elections. Ever since I backed Pat O’Malley in the 2002 Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary and Jim Oberweis in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary, Jim Ryan, Bill Brady, and Judy Barr Topinka supporters have a) viciously demonized me, b) viciously denigrated me, and c) viciously condemned me and have done everything that they could a) to stop me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would stress everything that I did to help elect a) Ryan in the 2002 general election and b) Topinka in the 2006 general election.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-17/desantis-2024-bid-takes-shape-as-he-enlists-aides-woos-donors
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Biden is old, but age isn’t what it used to be.” How old are you? I am 74. Ever-increasingly, expect that ever-increasingly, as you get older, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will use your age against you. I should write a book about how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have ever-increasingly used my age against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/feb/18/julianna-goldman-biden-is-old-but-age-isnt-what-it/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Haley wasn’t just playing politics. She was also engaging, consciously or unconsciously, in one of the most sinister and under-researched forms of prejudice: age discrimination. To confront it, the president needs to both call it out and not call too much attention to it. There are advantages to getting old, but he doesn’t necessarily want to campaign on them. . .But I have learned that aging isn’t what it used to be, and that I need to confront my own biases about it. “The frontier of longevity has shifted in a positive way,” says Adam Felts, a researcher with the AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its research focuses on people who are living longer and better than ever before, especially people in better socioeconomic circumstances with access to newer medicines and technologies. One of his research groups is a panel of individuals who are all at least 85 years old. “When I see how sharp they are, it shapes my perspective around what is possible even for people in their mid to late 80s.” Looking at someone such as Biden, who has the best medical care available, “we may have to think about his age trajectory differently.” In fact, says Felts, we should be thinking differently about aging in general, for all Americans. Humans tend to overestimate how much people within a given category have in common with one another, says Jessica Nordell, author of The End of Bias. When someone states that Biden is “too old” without pointing to specifics, it reflects an antipathy toward older people that is culturally ingrained.)

MEDIATE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump Addresses ‘Meatball Ron’ in 1 a.m. Post Ripping DeSantis.” Politics is nasty/vicious. So far, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have refrained from publicly slandering me. But they certainly would have publicly slandered me if they had not succeeded in taking their adverse actions against me that they did. Because of my demographics (heterosexual, conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, old (74), gun-owner, draft-avoider, non-poor, married, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978), they would have publicly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. One thing that has held them back from publicly slandering me is the fact that I have filed lawsuits against my superiors in the federal government and against people who have lots of political, government, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and/or in DuPage County.

WHEATON PATCH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Scholarships Available For Low-Income Students In DuPage County.” Were your parents low-income? My parents were not, but my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and my mother never worked outside of the home until he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Therefore, to pay for my UIC and NIU college expenses and for new cars to get to/from jobs and college classes, a) I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and the summer of 1965, b) I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights the summer of 1966, and c) I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. That enabled me to graduate from NIU debt-free in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— COMMENT: Democrats say “To Increase Equity, School Districts Eliminate Honors Classes. Supporters say uniform classes create rigor for all students but critics say cuts hurt faster learners.” What harmed your GPAs? For me, it was my working jobs instead of studying. While I was a junior and senior at Crete-Monee High School and the summer in between 1964-1966, I washed dishes in Chicago Heights. I only just barely made it into upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. While I was as student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970, I worked as many hours as I could delivering mail in Park Forest.

Further, they would stress that the scores that got passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations in 1979 and 1981 respectively were not that great. They would stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT score was only 24.

For federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, their window of opportunity to get promoted increasingly closes if they do not make GS-13 ($109,732/year) by age 25, GS-14 ($129,671/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($152,527/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500/year) by age 40. It is called “up-or-out.” Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I never made GS-14. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who do not make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. So far, Nikki Haley has indicated that she supports up-or-out. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on my critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have stressed the most that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38, that I never made GS-14, and that the federal government forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming to speak to Chicago FOP Monday in Elmhurst.” If/when the location of this event is publicly announced, will hundreds/thousands of DeSantis supporters and opponents come?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-desantis-coming-to-elmhurst-fop-20230216-pvj4zlc7effmhiufh4dozrqnum-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, exploring a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is scheduled to speak at an invite-only event Monday in Elmhurst to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police and potentially deliver some rhetorical political payback to Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The Presidents Day visit to a so-far undisclosed location in the Chicago area would represent an escalation of the feud between DeSantis and Pritzker, who has been the focus of some speculation as a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate if President Joe Biden does not seek to be nominated for a second term. In July, Pritzker was keynote speaker for a gathering of Florida Democrats in Tampa where he took aim at the Florida governor. Pritzker assailed DeSantis as “just Donald Trump with a mask on” and, more recently, has attacked the Republican’s policies blocking some teachings of racial and gay curriculum. In delivering his combined State of the State and budget address on Wednesday, though not mentioning DeSantis by name, Pritzker referred to a “virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship” and the right wing who are waging an “ideological battle” that serves to “marginalize people and ideas they don’t like.” In January, Pritzker wrote a letter to the College Board, asking it not to change the advanced placement African American Studies course “in order to fit Florida’s racist and homophobic laws.” The College Board earlier this month said it was revising the AP course to eliminate lessons on Black Lives Matter and the reparations movement. But after the DeSantis administration criticized the curriculum as left leaning and lacking “educational value,” the College Board said the criticism amounted to “slander.” That prompted DeSantis to suggest earlier this week that his state might drop AP classes from its schools. The DeSantis political operation did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons behind the Florida governor’s visit, which is open only to members of the law enforcement community. But a DeSantis speech to Chicago’s FOP Lodge 7, set for an undisclosed location in west suburban Elmhurst, would appear to be aimed at attacking Pritzker and Democrats over outbreaks of violent crime in the city as the mayoral election nears. An invitation to the event said the location would be disclosed to registrants “48 hours prior to the event.” John Catanzara, head of the Chicago police union, as well as the city and state FOP, endorsed Pritzker’s Republican opponent, Darren Bailey, in last year’s governor campaign. The Chicago FOP has endorsed challenger Paul Vallas for Chicago mayor as Lori Lightfoot seeks a second term. Catanzara was not available for comment. A law enforcement source said DeSantis was supposed to talk to the Chicago FOP within the last two months but that event was canceled.)

ELMHURST PATCH
— DeSantis Coming To Elmhurst: Chicago FOP. Chicago police officers have been invited to a “Back the Blue” event. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/desantis-coming-elmhurst-chicago-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to come to Elmhurst on Monday, according to the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police. On Thursday, the organization invited members to see the Republican governor at a yet-to-be-disclosed site in Elmhurst. Doors are set to open at 3:30 p.m. According to the invitation, the location will be revealed 48 hours before the “Back the Blue” event. The invitation said DeSantis would speak about law enforcement. Patch obtained the invitation Thursday afternoon. Organizers apparently did not want to alert the media at this point. The Florida governor’s office referred questions to the Florida Republican Party. Patch left an emailed message for comment with a GOP spokeswoman. At the event, active and retired officers are allowed to attend, but not their spouses. In a message to Patch, Mayor Scott Levin said he had heard DeSantis was coming to town. “I have no confirmed location, but I assume and hope that before Monday, they will coordinate with the city, if there’s a large turnout expected,” the mayor said. DeSantis has called Florida the state “where woke goes to die.” He is widely considered to be running for president. He was once seen as an ally of former President Donald Trump. But Trump has criticized DeSantis over the last few months, most recently calling him “Meatball Ron.”)

The aforesaid blacklisters want the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct to blacklist me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/02/17/desantis-joins-wild-ride-to-city-hall-00083413
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nasty campaign ads are reaching a fever pitch in the Chicago mayor’s race, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and chameleon Congressman George Santos have emerged as foils to attack Paul Vallas. DeSantis is coming to suburban Elmhurst on Monday to talk to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police in a hush-hush meeting. And Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is using the visit to attack Paul Vallas, who’s been endorsed by the FOP. “Paul Vallas must condemn the FOP for inviting Ron DeSantis, a dangerous and xenophobic authoritarian to our state,” Garcia said in a statement.)

It is called age discrimination. I should write a book about that.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/02/16/cnns-don-lemon-says-nikki-haley-is-past-her-prime-at-51-heres-what-research-says/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One research study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly found that the 50s is a woman’s prime of life, indicating that Haley is indeed in her prime. Better health, empty nests and higher income distinguished the 50s from the earlier and later periods of life for women. Women in their 50s also showed greater confidence, involvement and breadth of personality. Since the CNN discussion surrounded politics, a candidate’s prime may be defined by voter preferences. Again, Haley appears to be in her prime. One telling study found that male and female candidates in their 40s and 50s are preferred over candidates in their 30s, 60s and 70s. The researchers did not study candidates in their 80s. When it comes to cognitive and creative ability, yet another study suggests the 50s decade may be the prime time for some. The study examined 31 Nobel Prize winners in economics to determine when they made their most significant contributions. Those whose work was more conceptual peaked at age 25, but those whose work was more experimental peaked in their mid-50s. To be fair, some cognitive abilities peak at a younger age. Speed in processing information peaks at age 18 or 19, and short-term memory starts to drop off at around age 25. However, other abilities, like evaluating other people’s emotional states, peak in our 40s and 50s. In addition, wisdom, which refers to a deep understanding of different aspects of life, also peaks in midlife. Perhaps when Lemon referred to Haley not being in her prime, he was referring to her fertility or physical strength. In this case, he’d be correct. The peak for both men and women is much younger for these areas. Both men’s and women’s fertility starts to decline in their mid-30s, but women’s fertility declines much more rapidly than men’s. When it comes to muscle mass, physical strength and flexibility, men and women peak in their late 20s to early 30s. But none of these skills are required for a nation’s leader. Lemon’s comment is not just offensive because of Haley’s relatively young age but because women are devalued more than men as they age. When women’s bodies are no longer functioning at their peak and women are past their reproductive age, women are thought to be past their prime. This doesn’t happen to men in their fifties. Lemon cited Google as his source for women’s prime, suggesting the search engine would back up his assertions, “If you Google ‘when is a woman in her prime?’” Ironically, a Google search on that question now reveals news about Don Lemon’s comment. Whether or not you appreciate Nikki Haley’s politics, it’s tough to argue that she isn’t in her prime as a presidential candidate.)

HEALTHLINE
— Mental Status Tests (COMMENT: Nikki Haley calls for “mental competency tests” for politicians over 75. I should write a book about age discrimination. Politics is nasty/vicious. How old are you? I am 74. If your critics/opponents succeeded in forcing you to take a mini–mental state examination (see below) and/or a mental status examination (see below), would you pass them? How good are your “appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills?” What do you stress that shows that you would pass the tests? For me, it is my putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters every morning. But my critics/opponents would demonize, denigrate, and condemn my “judgment skills.” According to them, my judgment is deplorable a) because they cannot manipulate me or dominate me, b) because I refuse to glorify and praise them, c) because I refuse to pander to them, d) because I refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) because I refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) because I refuse to give them money. They would stress the brain bleed ( https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14480-brain-bleed-hemorrhage-intracranial-hemorrhage ) that I suffered January 10 last year. But I would stress that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois has declared that I did not suffer a “traumatic brain injury.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-status-tests
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What Are Mental Status Tests? Mental status tests are done to test an individual’s cognitive function. The tests can be given by a number of different healthcare providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses. A psychologist is required to conduct more complex testing when there are questions about specific neurocognitive disorders. Mental status tests will examine your appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills. Mental status testing may also be referred to as mental status examination or neurocognitive testing. Reasons for Testing Mental status testing can be done to help diagnose mental illnesses or conditions affecting the brain. Mental status testing can help diagnose: Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, dementia, head trauma, personality disorders, intellectual disability, neurocognitive impairment, schizophrenia, stroke, transient ischemia attack: sometimes referred to as a “mini-stroke” which lasts less than 24 hours. What Happens During the Test? The main type of mental status test used is the mini-mental state examination, also known as the Folstein Mini Mental State Exam. In this test, the examiner will observe your appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Mini–mental state examination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini%E2%80%93mental_state_examination
(FROM THE POSTING: The Mini–mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairment. It is commonly used in medicine and allied health to screen for dementia. It is also used to estimate the severity and progression of cognitive impairment and to follow the course of cognitive changes in an individual over time; thus making it an effective way to document an individual’s response to treatment. The MMSE’s purpose has been not, on its own, to provide a diagnosis for any particular nosological entity. Administration of the test takes between 5 and 10 minutes and examines functions including registration (repeating named prompts), attention and calculation, recall, language, ability to follow simple commands and orientation. It was originally introduced by Folstein et al. in 1975, in order to differentiate organic from functional psychiatric patients but is very similar to, or even directly incorporates, tests which were in use previous to its publication. This test is not a mental status examination. The standard MMSE form which is currently published by Psychological Assessment Resources is based on its original 1975 conceptualization, with minor subsequent modifications by the authors.)
— Mental status examination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_status_examination
(FROM THE POSTING: The mental status examination (MSE) is an important part of the clinical assessment process in neurological and psychiatric practice. It is a structured way of observing and describing a patient’s psychological functioning at a given point in time, under the domains of appearance, attitude, behavior, mood and affect, speech, thought process, thought content, perception, cognition, insight, and judgment. There are some minor variations in the subdivision of the MSE and the sequence and names of MSE domains. The purpose of the MSE is to obtain a comprehensive cross-sectional description of the patient’s mental state, which, when combined with the biographical and historical information of the psychiatric history, allows the clinician to make an accurate diagnosis and formulation, which are required for coherent treatment planning. The data are collected through a combination of direct and indirect means: unstructured observation while obtaining the biographical and social information, focused questions about current symptoms, and formalized psychological tests. The MSE is not to be confused with the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE), which is a brief neuropsychological screening test for dementia.)

Three terms later, she made a longshot bid for governor and defeated a field of more veteran politicians to become the first woman and first Indian American to lead South Carolina. At 38, she also was the nation’s youngest governor. Haley is the first woman to be a major candidate for president in 2024, and just the fifth Republican woman this century.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “President Biden will undergo a routine checkup on Thursday.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/15/us/politics/biden-trump-obama-physicals-doctors-health.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is no legal requirement to follow when it comes to the president’s checkups, and the amount of information released has always been up to the man himself. But President Biden’s exam on Thursday will get extra scrutiny because, at 80, he is America’s oldest president. “There probably is more pressure in this situation,” said Dr. Dan Blazer, professor emeritus at the Duke University School of Medicine. “That’s just our society.” Mr. Biden’s exam has been delayed for weeks because of what officials said were scheduling issues. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said the administration would follow the same routine as with Mr. Biden’s previous physical. “We want to be transparent,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday. “We want to make sure you have the information, and it will be coming from the physician. In 2021, after a checkup and a colonoscopy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the White House released a six-page letter from the president’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, declaring Mr. Biden “healthy, vigorous” and fit to carry out his duties. He noted at the time that the president had developed a “more pronounced” tendency to cough during speaking engagements and a stiffer gait caused by age-related changes in his spine. He also ruled out the possibility that the stiffness could be caused by a stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or other neurological disorders. Dr. O’Connor did not say in his report whether Mr. Biden underwent cognitive testing. While many doctors recommend the testing for older adults, presidents have not regularly made public such examinations, said Matthew Dallek, a political historian. But because of Mr. Biden’s age, “the more positive information, the more Biden can give the public a clean bill of health, the probably more reassuring it is for people,” Mr. Dallek said. Mr. Biden has said he intends to run for a second term, but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party. It also has left him vulnerable to attacks by Republicans. Nikki Haley, who announced her presidential bid on Tuesday, called for “mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old,” a threshold that would include both Mr. Biden and Donald J. Trump. And in her rebuttal against Mr. Biden’s State of the Union address last week, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas called Mr. Biden “unfit.” Mr. Biden has dismissed those concerns, telling voters simply: “Watch me.” . . . In 2018, the Trump administration sent Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician, to declare to reporters that Mr. Trump enjoyed “excellent health” without initially releasing any basic information, such as weight, blood pressure or cholesterol levels. A memorandum on his health released in 2019 did not detail the physical examinations that Mr. Trump underwent, or their results, as the White House physician did for Mr. Obama. Some presidential candidates have gone to great lengths to answer questions about their age or health. In 2008, after Senator John McCain secured the Republican presidential nomination, his doctors invited about 20 reporters to a room in Arizona to examine Mr. McCain’s medical records.)

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3859633-haley-calls-for-us-to-move-on-from-faded-names-of-the-past/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called on Wednesday for the United States to move on from a rapidly aging generation of politicians, pitching her newly minted campaign for the White House as a chance for voters to install a younger and more diverse leader. “We’re ready — ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past,” Haley said, speaking to a crowd of supporters in Charleston, S.C. “And we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future.” . . . At another point, she demanded mandatory “mental competency tests” for office-holders over the age of 75, playing into a frequent conservative claim that President Biden isn’t mentally fit to serve in the White House. But that remark was also a tacit swipe at Trump, who would be 78 by the time of his second swearing-in.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is a virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship, with a particular attack right now on school board members and library trustees,” Pritzker said. . .As Pritzker embarks on a second term, he’s stirred speculation about potential White House ambitions by entering the fray on national issues and presenting himself as a progressive foil to other possible presidential aspirants such as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, who’s courted conservative voters with his restrictive education policies. “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children, but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.” . . . “In the age-old fight between happy warriors and misery’s carnival barkers, we’ve shown that if we resolve to do it, happy warriors win every time. And we are winning,” Pritzker said, employing a label he frequently slaps on Republicans. . .Members of the most conservative contingent of the GOP caucus bristled at Pritzker’s partisan jabs. “We’re still ‘carnival barkers,’” Republican Rep. Adam Niemerg of Dieterich said. “Well, he’s the governor, and he is running the so-called carnival, and he’s running it right off the leftist cliff.”)

GINGRICH 360
— Do We Need Seven National Anthems?
https://www.gingrich360.com/2023/02/13/do-we-need-seven-national-anthems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the Black National Anthem already exists, it can be No. 1. No. 2 could be a Latino National Anthem (there are of course many different nationalities and ethnicities covered by Latino but the Mexican, Cuban, El Salvadoran, and other nationalities would have to come together to pick one anthem). Three could be a Native American National Anthem (there are of course 574 legally recognized tribes included in the term Native American – but we can’t have 574 separate anthems, so they would have to be satisfied with one anthem which tribal councils would have to hammer out and endorse). The fourth could be an Asian American National Anthem (the numerous, dramatically different groups encompassed within Asian American include Afghans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, Indonesians – itself including a remarkable number of subgroups – Iranians, Japanese, Koreans, Pakistani, Tibetans, Thai, Vietnamese, some Russians, etc.). But, again, they would need to come together to agree on one anthem. No. 5 could be a White National Anthem for the various Caucasian European groups who came to America (recognizing that English, Germans, Greeks, Irish, Italians, Poles, some other Russians, Scots, Scandinavians, Welsh, and more represent a wide range of white European backgrounds). But why stop with ethnicity? Six could be an LGBTQ National Anthem for those Americans who believe their sexuality and gender are the most important aspects of their humanity. Finally, the Star-Spangled Banner could remain as the seventh. After all, if we are dividing America, we need a song for those who want to honor of the amazing cultural melting pot from which the Founding Fathers forged a new unified nation from a multitude of backgrounds. Before the recent emergence of the new woke racism, the Star-Spangled Banner had been the unifying song which historically brought Americans with shared pride of patriotism together. Besides, wokeism’s narrative requires an enemy to kick around. But enough nonsense. Efforts to subdivide Americans into ethnic blocs are impossible to sustain and ultimately will collapse of their own inherent contradictions.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Why Younger Employees Will Switch Jobs For An Employer Who Invests In Them.” Did your employers invest in you? My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors did not invest in me, but I invested in myself. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I took graduate business and accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— March GOP State Central Committee Meeting Now Virtual: Is Don Tracy Afraid of the Grassroots or the Spread of COVID-19? (COMMENT: Who will the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) allow to watch and listen to the meeting? Will there be a public comment period? Who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman’s (PC)/Captain’s IRP SCC member? On who/what do they blame Republican losses on? Ever since I became a DuPage County Milton Township Republican PC in 1999, I have asked my DuPage IRP SCC members to give me the locations, dates, times, and agendas of upcoming IRP SCC meetings. I rarely received such notifications. Nevertheless, I have attended many IRP SCC meetings, but not recently. I should write a book a) about how I learned about those meetings and b) about how anti-conservative DuPage County IRP SCC members have treated me. I would focus on those who have blamed me and who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. I would also focus on those who have also blamed me the most for what I did when I a) served as the Wheaton Independence Day parade and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, d) served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and e) served as the Milton Township coordinator for Pat O’Malley’s 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary campaign. I would also focus on those who have punished me the most for my wanting direct election of IRP SCC members. I pushed for direct election of IRP SCC members big time at the 2008 and 2012 IRP State Conventions.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With so much at stake, and school board races just around the corner – the responsibilities demand an in-person meeting. But it appears that Tracy is more concerned with stopping the spread of COVID than he is stopping the spread of socialist, Democratic policies.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE: COMMENT: Democrats say “Sandberg building sold in downtown Wheaton.” What obligations do Republican Precinct Committeemen like me have to defend Republican voters in their precinct? Sandberg was a conservative Republican voter in my precinct 1999-2015. He died in 2020. I often came to his defense. I should write a book about conservative-haters in Milton Township who continue to hate Sandberg. They continue to hate me because I came to his defense and because I continue to refuse to share their hatred of him. I would focus on those Sandberg-haters who promote hatred against those who share Sandberg’s demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, older, and/or Lutheran) to curry favor with those who hate his demographics.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230213/its-in-good-hands-sandberg-building-sold-in-downtown-wheaton
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, the late shopkeeper Robert Sandberg displayed a mishmash of merchandise in his namesake men’s clothing store, a now-empty, hulking presence at the northwest corner of Main and Front streets. More than 2½ years after his death, Sandberg’s widow, Karen, has sold the cavernous building for $2,028,500 to a limited liability company associated with Bruce Bond, a driving force in downtown development. . .Sandberg opened his first clothing store in Wheaton in 1958 and later owned several properties downtown. Over the years, the city had tried to purchase or condemn Sandberg’s buildings because they had been either vacant or subject to various code violations.)

By January of 1980, I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, b) earned an MBA from Loyola, and c) worked for IRS for almost 9 years. By June of 1971, I had a) passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination, b) earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, and c) worked for Firestone Stores for 10 months.

ANSWER: To slow down if not stop indoctrination, grooming, and the promotion of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms, that is, to slow down if not stop the promotion of a) LGBTQ, sexual activity, and abortion, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and the destruction of the traditional family; b) CRT, 1619, BLM, wokeness/wokeism, identity politics, victimhood, reparations, etc., that is, race and gender based preference giving, that is, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination; c) mass/illegal immigration, that is, replacing those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats; d) abolition of the First and Second Amendments; e) unions and unionization; f) dependency on government and on charity, that is, the end of individual responsibility and liberty, that is, socialism, communism, and dictatorship; g) hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, parents, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestor have been in America for a long time; h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices; i) outlawing of gasoline-powered vehicles and lawn mowers, gas stoves, etc.; and j) the rest of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms. Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO teachers deny that they do any the aforesaid, but not always. See what a Crete-Monee High School teacher recently said at: https://fox17.com/news/nation-world/i-am-in-fact-indoctrinating-your-children-teachers-accused-of-politicizing-classrooms She said “All you right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs who seem to think the teachers are out here just indoctrinating children into some sort of woke agenda that you can’t actually define.” and “I’m just going to come clean. I am, in fact, indoctrinating your children.”

I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/politics/sc-gop-seeks-control-of-greenville-county-republican-party-reorganization/article_d69230d4-a980-11ed-bfad-07252a908932.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A year and a half after an insurgent “MAGA” movement took over the Greenville County Republican Party, the South Carolina GOP apparatus at odds with the group is planning to seize control of the county party’s upcoming local organizational efforts. The South Carolina Republican Party’s executive director, Hope Walker, said the move is rooted in concern that leadership of the county party has alienated mainline Republican voters that state leaders want to attract as they look to the 2024 election cycle. Jeff Davis, chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, called the state’s intervention a “tyrannical” power grab using dirty tricks to find any justification to seize control. It’s the latest expansion of what has been an acrid rift along the fault line of perceived loyalty to former president Donald Trump and lingering grievances over the 2020 election. Next month, the party will conduct its precinct reorganization, a biennial effort that culminates in a county convention. It’s a vital fundraiser with pomp and circumstance, with the aim of recruiting and mobilization. “Everything will run through the state party,” Walker told The Post and Courier. “The convention is supposed to be a fun and inviting time. We want as many people as we can to get involved and not be turned off. We don’t want that to be a deterrent for someone to get involved.” The county party’s current leadership managed in summer 2021 to oust a state party-friendly governance that had been elected a few months before — an election that Davis said was proven to be rigged by “RINOs,” short for “Republicans In Name Only.” “I think they want the opportunity to cheat again,” Davis told The Post and Courier regarding the state party’s move to take over reorganization. “They did it just to try to throw a monkey wrench.” On Feb. 2, the state party’s Rules Committee voted to recommend that the State Executive Committee vote to take over Greenville County’s reorganization and convention, according to a Feb. 4 memo formalizing the recommendation and endorsed by 13 members from across the state. State party leaders accused the county party of, among other alleged violations, conducting chaotic and sometimes violent meetings without proper quorums that have created a steady member exodus. Added to that, they said, is the county party’s opposition to successful Republican candidates that back the former president. The result in part led to the creation of the Fourth District Republican Club, a group representing more-mainstream Republicans which has hosted the likes of former 4th District congressman Jim DeMint and former presidential candidate Ben Carson. In December 2021, the State Executive Committee had Davis escorted from its meeting and banned him from future attendance. However, Davis told The Post and Courier that the county party’s leadership was unaware of any rules violations and repeatedly sought clarification from the state party dating back to November, only to be stonewalled. “This was just a surprise,” Davis said. “They never told or sent any communication that we were breaking any rules.” In a Feb. 8 letter to Walker, the county party asked for specifics on how the state party would assist in the reorganization effort. It inquired about funding and providing 3,000 necessary reorganization forms that county leaders said have been distributed to other counties. Davis said he believes establishment Republicans want to enlist voices that align with like-minded GOP politicians, whereas he would attract a crowd of 3,000 with an “America first” slate. Davis pointed to the county party’s successful effort in electing its preferred members to the Greenville County School Board. “I think they’re real nervous about our convention,” Davis said, adding that the takeover also is rooted in concern that he will run for the state chairman position. Meanwhile, Walker said state leadership is forging ahead with planning Greenville County’s effort. “Right now, we are working on venue dates and locations for what the process will look like in Greenville,” Walker said. The divide began in the weeks following Trump’s November 2020 loss to President Joe Biden and unproven claims of widespread voter fraud. Powered by the conspiracy theory, more people began to attend county party meetings in greater numbers, facilitated by a group Davis and others started, MySCGOP. It happened just as the party conducted that year’s reorganization. In April 2021, a three-person slate of candidates backed by traditional party leaders was elected to lead the county apparatus, a vote conducted virtually because of the pandemic and before widespread distribution of vaccines. A faction billing itself as the “MAGA slate” objected and claimed a rigged process. That group met in a Greenville hotel ballroom that day and submitted paper ballots. The MAGA slate lost in a close race, but come summer the insurgent group applied enough pressure to prompt the leadership’s resignations. That’s when Davis came into power, along with state executive committeeman Pressley Stutts, who a month later died due to COVID-19. Throughout the course of the year, the county party led protests against vaccine mandates, acceptance of election results, detainment of some of those accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and a host of other far-right issues. The county party at one point changed the party logo to feature Trump’s signature swooping, orange combover. It isn’t the only intraparty conflagration in South Carolina. In September, five members of the Horry County Republican Party abruptly resigned. Billing themselves as “America First Patriots” — mostly aligning with the beliefs of the current Greenville County party leadership — the Horry County leaders cited harassment and “backhanded” political tactics by the state party to undermine them. The resignations came after a September State Executive Committee meeting, which voted to condemn and remove perks from the members of the committee who, using false allegations, attempted to stall the reconvening of the 2021 State Republican Convention.)

But that’s going to require a new mind-set—and a lot more planning. – Carol Hymowitz (COMMENT: How long is/was your career? Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My Democrat GAO superiors ended my almost 18-year career with GAO in 1997 when was I was 49 years old when they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” Constructively, that rendered me unemployable and rendered my GAO work experience worthless, my six job-related professional certifications worthless, my job-related professional license worthless, and my three job-related master’s degrees worthless. But even worse than that, it gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes tremendous ammunition to use against me. For example, to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at its annual convention in Wheaton in 2006, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO forced me to retire because I was an extremely bad person. They completely rejected that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discriminations, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf I should write a book about the aforesaid and about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.

JOURNAL GAZETTE TIMES COURIER
— COMMENT: Rich Miller says “Election consulting fees interesting.” I should write a book about how Republican political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, etc. in Illinois have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000. I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) since 2001. I served as an AAPC Midwest Chapter board member from 2001 until I was rudely dumped in 2004. I am one of the only seven AAPC members in Illinois and I am one of the only two members who work only for Republicans. GAO works for Congress. Much of what GAO does is consulting. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. Much of what CPAs and Certified Internal Auditors do is consulting. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: State records show that Dan Proft’s People Who Play by the Rules PAC spent almost $36 million during the second half of 2022, mostly on advertising boosting Sen. Darren Bailey’s gubernatorial bid and opposing Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Of that, $2.4 million was spent on consulting. Former ABC7 political reporter Charles Thomas was paid $100,000 in two $50,000 installments. Thomas appeared in some of Proft’s ads praising Bailey. Tyrone Muhammed, the controversial founder of Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change, which bills itself as a violence interruption group, was paid $250,000 for consulting work. Proft’s Starfish Consulting was also a recipient of almost $535K. But the highest paid consultant for Proft’s PAC during the last six months of 2022 was a Chicago company called Salvo Page LLC, which got $800,000, plus another $111K for website services. Salvo Page is not registered as a company with the state of Illinois. The only campaign payments to the company disclosed to the state were made by Proft’s People Who Play by the Rules PAC. Google searches turn up nothing. Proft did not respond to repeated requests for comment over several days. A search of Salvo Page’s Chicago address on the State Board of Election’s website turned up a clue. Salvo Page shares a Chicago street address with Pipeline Media. The Columbia Journalism Review’s Tow Center has done extensive reporting on Pipeline and similar companies. According to that reporting, the company is run by Brian Timpone, a longtime Proft associate. I wasn’t able to reach Timpone. Richard Uihlein, who was the principal funder of Bailey’s campaign via Proft’s PAC as well as some direct contributions, controls a committee called Restoration PAC, which paid Pipeline and an affiliate company well over a million dollars last year for various services, CJR’s Tow Center reported last October. And that brings us to Republican Illinois attorney general candidate Tom DeVore. When DeVore busted the campaign contribution caps in his race last August with a $250,000 personal loan to his campaign committee, some thought he might be opening the door to large contributions, perhaps from the billionaire Richard Uihlein. Instead, all DeVore really did was allow Democratic incumbent Kwame Raoul to take a million-dollar contribution from Gov. Pritzker’s campaign fund – $940,100 more than Pritzker could’ve contributed had the contribution caps been in place. A few labor organizations also contributed sums slightly above the previous cap limit of $59,900, but it wasn’t much. DeVore received a $10,000 contribution from James Hoeg in late October, which was $4,000 more than he would’ve been able to receive had it not been for the caps being lifted (Hoeg, by the way, recently contributed $50,000 to Paul Vallas’ Chicago mayoral campaign). DeVore also received a $50,000 contribution in late September from the Anthony Marano Company (which sells produce to Chicago-area restaurants). The contribution was $38,000 above the by-then-negated limit. And that’s it. $42K is all DeVore appears to have netted from his cap-busting loan. There’s often an expectation when candidates loan money to their campaigns that they’ll spend most of it. Instead, DeVore reimbursed himself almost all of that cash, including a $200,000 payment on October 14, even though the campaign was entering its final few weeks, and then another $15,000 the day after election day. DeVore reported $226,072 in contributions starting the day after he loaned himself that money, which was just about $11,000 more than what DeVore reimbursed himself. Outside of the loan repayment, DeVore reported spending less than $142,000 in the fourth quarter, which ended December 31. By contrast, AG Raoul reported spending almost $1.9 million in the same quarter. DeVore spent just $8,642.98 on advertising during the fourth quarter. Raoul reported spending almost $1.7 million. In other words, DeVore did not run a campaign designed to win. But we pretty much knew that during the campaign itself. He got thumped by Raoul. DeVore did manage to elevate and give voice to some folks on the far right. Shannon Adcock was a significant DeVore contributor, kicking in $2,500 during September. Adcock is one of the founders of Awake Illinois, a far-right group that opposed pandemic mandates in schools that has since morphed into firing up moral panic over gays and trans people in schools, libraries and coffee shops. Vallas spoke at one of her events. DeVore is now busily lining up clients to fund a third lawsuit against the state’s assault weapons ban at $200 a person. He raised more than half a million dollars with that same flat fee to fund his first two suits.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs discriminate against Whites. Soon, the more White that you are, Democrats and RINOs will stop you from getting an education, getting and keeping jobs, owning vehicles and real estate, etc. They will start with Whites who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, male, older, gun-owners, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, replacement theory, and even worse things. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2024 primary field could be even more crowded than it was four years earlier. There are several major Democratic officeholders thought to be waiting for the right moment to run for president. If Biden doesn’t run, that moment might arrive early for three governors: California’s Gavin Newsom, Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker, and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer. The first two governors have vast resources at their disposal, while the third checks an awful lot of boxes for Democrats valuing electability above all else.)

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL
— FROM THE ARTICLE: “Pick one thing to focus on for the rest of your life!” What did you focus on in the past and what are you focusing on now? When I was young, I focused on a) making myself a productive member of society and b) making the most of my potential. I earned college degrees (NIU, B.S., management, 1970; Loyola, MBA, 1976; DePaul, M.S., accounting; 1980; and IIT, M.S., financial markets and trading, 1997), professional certifications (CPA, 1979; Certified Internal Auditor, 1981; Certified Fraud Examiner, 1990; Certified Government Financial Manager, 1994; Certified Financial Services Auditor, 1996; and Forensic Accountant, 1997), and a professional license (CPA, 1981). But the aforesaid all came crashing down in 1997 when I was 49 years old and my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in making me take their early retirement “offer.” Starting in 2000, I have focused on helping elect Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as the webmaster for the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, and the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. But ever-increasing, my efforts to help elect Republican on ballots in my precinct is crashing down. Ever-increasingly, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and MTRO leaders and Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct treat me like they blame me and blame what I have done to help elect them for their defeats. Ever-increasing, Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct act like they do not want me to help elect them. Most commonly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “too conservative.” Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I share too many demographics with Trump and that my demographics are bad: conservative, Republican, White, male, old (74), draft-avoider, gun-owner, heterosexual, married, childless, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, someone who was forced into early retirement when they were 49 years old, someone who has filed lawsuits, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. If you were me, what would you do about the aforesaid?

WCMY
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Sen. Duckworth reintroduces bill to ban race based internments.” What is Duckworth’s position on the Internment of German resident aliens and German-American citizens during WWI and WWII? SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_German_Americans My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I have often stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI ( SEE: https://www.capturingcrete.org/items/show/111 and https://www.capturingcrete.org/items/show/152 ), that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.
https://1430wcmy.com/2023/02/11/sen-duckworth-reintroduces-bill-to-ban-race-based-internments/
(FROM WIKIPEDIA: Internment of German resident aliens and German-American citizens occurred in the United States during the periods of World War I and World War II. During World War II, the legal basis for this detention was under Presidential Proclamation 2526, made by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt under the authority of the Alien Enemies Act. With the US entry into World War I after Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare, German nationals were automatically classified as “enemy aliens”. Two of the four main World War I-era internment camps were located in Hot Springs, North Carolina, and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer wrote that “All aliens interned by the government are regarded as enemies, and their property is treated accordingly.” By the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. Among residents of the United States in 1940, more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained at least 11,000 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals.[3] The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien Enemies Act. To a much lesser extent, some ethnic German US citizens were classified as suspect after due process and also detained. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US. The United States had allowed immigrants from both Germany and Italy to become naturalized citizens, which many had done by then. In the early 21st century, Congress considered legislation to study treatment of European Americans during WWII, but it did not pass the House of Representatives. Activists and historians have identified certain injustices against these groups. Unlike Italian Americans and Japanese Americans, German Americans have not received an official apology for these events.)

He’s a graduate of Yale and the Harvard Law School and is a Navy veteran. DeSantis is the GOP favorite, poised to give Biden a very competitive race.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— If Reparations Are Owed … the Democratic Party Should Pay Them – Joe Fried (COMMENT: How much reparations have you paid? How much will you pay? Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote reparations. Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. Because of my bad demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents have made me pay lots of reparations since the 1970s. I should write a book about my RINO critics/opponents who share my bad demographics, but who have paid little or no reparations. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, c) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, d) conservative and religious leaders and activists in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, and e) those who I have sued.

— J.D. Vance: Illegal Immigration Robs Americans of Dream of Owning a Home – JOHN BINDER (COMMENT: I might very well have not been able to get a mortgage to buy a new town home in 1972 when I was 24 years old if I had not had a part-time job pumping gasoline. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, that part-time job might very well have been given to an illegal.)

— Left-Wing ‘Disinformation’ Groups Choking Off Conservative Media Money – HANNAH BLEAU (COMMENT: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who are furious that because I have the money, time, ability, and motivation needed to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters every morning, I do not need or want any money to do the aforesaid. They are furious that GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and access to www.gopillinois.com are free, contain no advertising, and no donation requests. My money comes from my Civil Service Retirement System pension and from my retirement savings.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/09/left-wing-disinformation-groups-choking-off-conservative-media-money/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Supposedly “nonpartisan” groups are influencing ad companies behind the scenes to blacklist conservative websites under the guise of fighting what they consider to be “disinformation.” A recent report from the Washington Examiner delves into the inner workings of these groups and their relationship with ad companies, as they are essentially using their influence with these ad companies to target right-wing outlets. According to the report, some brands are reaching out to third-party companies tasked with tracking what they deem to be “disinformation,” thereby advising the brand to defund websites the organization believes are spreading falsehoods or misleading narratives.)

https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/new-york-conservative-party-newsmax-directv/2023/02/09/id/1108027/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message comes just a day after the Republican Party, via the Republican National Committee, issued an email urging members to support Newsmax. “DirecTV has claimed that their decision was the result of a dispute over carrier fees, but this is yet another example of powerful corporations silencing conservative viewpoints,” RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel wrote. “It’s anti-free-speech and anti-American.”)

ABC NEWS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Few Black male teachers are in US classrooms. These programs are changing that.” To hire, to retain, and to promote Black Democrat CPAs, my IRS and GAO superiors wasted the careers of and got rid of their Republican employees like me who were CPAs. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats lower job requirements because Democrats who are minority and/or female fail/refuse to earn college degrees, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were furious when I did what they failed/refused to do. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. Ever-increasingly, my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me a) had less job-related education than I had, b) had fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or c) had no professional licenses.

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
— Understanding ways to support federal candidates (COMMENT: If you were me, how would you deal with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading my newsletters? They hint/imply/argue/shout at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct a) that me and my newsletters are far too conservative and b) that the more that I do to help elect/reelect them, the more votes that they lose. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Currently, a big measure of the success that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are having in destroying me is Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct who act like they do not want me to help elect them.)

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Indiana Republicans back partisan school boards switch. Indiana Republicans have forged ahead with a proposal that would upend the current nonpartisan school board elections across the state despite opponents of the change arguing it would further inject politics into local schools.” What is the political affiliation a) of the members of your school board and b) of the April 4, 2023 candidates for those positions? The Democrat Party does everything that it can to elect and to reelect Democrat school board members. In Illinois, Democrats have succeed in stopping the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization from helping elect Republican school board members. Consequently, Democrats run public education in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/news/local/2023/02/08/wisconsin-based-pac-raising-money-to-educate-voters-in-mchenry-county/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While the scope of the new PAC in McHenry County was unclear, Datwyler’s other efforts in Illinois have helped GOP candidates, records show. Datwyler last year was involved with The Firewall Project, which helped unsuccessful Republican Illinois Supreme Court candidates Michael J. Burke and Mark Curran, as well as failed GOP DuPage County Board candidate Greg Hart in last year’s election, records show. The Firewall Project, for which Datwyler also was listed as chair and treasurer, was listed with a Washington D.C. address, records show. It made more than $1 million in contributions to Illinois candidates including nearly $399,000 to Burke, more than $408,000 to Curran and about $423,000 to Hart, online records show. Families for a Safer Illinois, another committee of which Datwyler was the treasurer, received $745,000 from the Republican State Leadership Committee between July and October of last year, records show. That amount marked all the money the committee received, records show. The Republican State Leadership Committee’s board includes former President Donald Trump’s onetime chief of staff and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus, as well as Karl Rove, who was a senior advisor to President George W. Bush.)

— Competence is dead and diversity killed it – M.B. Mathews (COMMENT: I should write a book about how my Democrat superiors in the federal government prioritized diversity over competence, that is, how they used diversity to discriminate against their Republican employees, and especially against those like me who were conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would focus on their promoting over me their Democrat employees who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional licenses.

I should survey the voters in DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West, East, and South Districts, and my precinct about that.)

The Democrat Party does everything that it can to elect and to reelect Democrat school board members. In Illinois, Democrats have succeed in stopping the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization from helping elect Republican school board members. Consequently, Democrats run public education in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— COMMENT: Ever-increasing, anti-conservatives and conservative-haters succeed in pushing pot. How soon will the following be stoners: you, your spouse/partner, your children, your grandchildren, your parents, your grandparents, the rest of your relatives, your neighbors, those in your precinct, those in your municipal district, those in your municipality, those in your township, those in your county district, those in your county, those in Illinois, those in America, those in the world, those who you have to rely on, etc.? Pot pushers vehemently hate me and do everything that they can to destroy me. I should write a book about them. I would focus on pot pushers in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican to give themselves standing to destroy those like me who oppose pot.

FORBES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The Illinois School Voucher Law Is About To Ride Into The Sunset” and ask “Will Lawmakers Rescue It, Or Just Wave Goodbye?” How much money did your parents have when you were young? Because my outstanding parents had enough money to send me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned them and me as being filthy rich. In my and in my parents’ defense, my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 6-cylinder 2-door Chevrolet. My mother never worked outside of our home until after he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because my parents lacked money to pay for my college expenses, a) I did yard work 1962-1964, b) I delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) I washed dishes 1964-1966, d) I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and e) I delivered mail 1966-1969.

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “CPA Diversity Report Explores the Barriers to Minority Advancement in the Profession.” Were you a barrier? My Democrat GAO superiors demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a barrier to my Black CPA subordinate’s advancement. So they a) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) gave him my job, and c) gave him my preferred corner office. Previously, to get rid of me, they a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees, e) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworker, and subordinates against me, f) never promoted me beyond GS-13, g) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and h) forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from 12 Step 5, currently $104,583/year, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.
