— Democrats say “Single women more likely to own homes than single men despite gender pay gap.” In 1972, when I was 24 years old and single, I bought a new town home in University Park. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey collecting delinquent taxes and for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time pumping gasoline. Also, with that money, I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and starting in 1972, I paid for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1974, when I was still single, because I got promoted to an IRS job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago. In 1976, when I was still single, I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in the Loop. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $52,022/year in 1971, $63,633/year in 1972, $76,990/year in 1973, $92,279/year in 1974, $95,355/year in 1975, and $98,431/year in 1976.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/18/progressive-ny-politicians-race-bait-against-white-people/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Woke New York Democratic pols from Buffalo to Brooklyn have made racist rhetoric about white people a central pillar of their message to voters. At the local, statewide and national level, left-wing, mostly socialist, elected officials have decried without repercussion that white people live in their neighborhoods, argued they should not be eligible for certain jobs, and issued broad demonizing statements. “Anti-whiteness is the fundamental premise of the left. All that is needed to take out an institution or an individual is to publicly observe that that individual is white or that that institution (Western science, Western medicine, classical music, European art) has historically been majority white or may still be majority white today,” Heather Mac Donald, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute, told The Post. “Biden routinely says that white people have an enduring problem with racism, we represent the dark soul of the US,” Mac Donald added. Some pols, such as East New York City Councilman Charles Barron, even boast of anti-white bonafides.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Alvin Bragg’s Political Charge Against Donald Trump. An indictment of a former President must be for serious offenses with indisputable evidence. – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many other adverse actions against me before that. They not only knew that I would sue them in federal court because of that, they wanted me to sue them in federal court. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and that my Republican U.S. Representatives in Illinois, including Hastert, would not come to my defense. They knew that the Democrat-run federal courts in Illinois would deny me my 7th Amendment rights and grant GAO summary judgment, which is what they did. They knew that summary judgment would give them even more power to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budget cuts, etc. to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees, and especially those who share my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, etc. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So Mr. Bragg may indict a former President for the first time in American history based on the weakest of charges. He would subject the country to a trial that would be a media circus for the ages. And he would do so running the risk that a single juror could block a guilty verdict and validate Mr. Trump’s claim that this is a political prosecution. Yes, we know, in America no one is above the law. But prosecutors use their discretion every day not to bring charges for any number of reasons. Mr. Bragg came into office vowing not to charge numerous non-violent crimes against public order. The prosecution of a former President who is again a candidate for the White House is inherently fraught with political ramifications.)

POLITICO
— Democrats say “Republicans slam DeSantis for calling war in Ukraine ‘a territorial dispute.’ It is a “clear vital national interest, to support what is going on in Ukraine,” New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said.”

— Democrats say that Democrat Senator Mark Kelly says that Trump’s supporters should be able to protest peacefully but that law enforcement officials should be prepared to make sure it doesn’t rise to the level of violence. I should write a book about those who a) have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that I am a Trump operative/dupe and b) have used that against me the most. I would focus on a) those who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst and b) those who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. I have never been anyone’s operative or dupe.

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats say “‘Despicable’ Pandering: Ron DeSantis Roasted For Odd Claim About His Upbringing.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have stressed the most a) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, b) that my parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL, and c) that I am 100% German American.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-cultural-upbringing_n_6417dbc4e4b0fef15244c95f
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But he claimed his “cultural” background was quite different from his “geographical” one. ″[C]ulturally my upbringing reflected the working-class communities in western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio — from weekly church attendance to the expectation that one would earn his keep,” he wrote. “This made me God-fearing, hard-working and America-loving.” NBC News notes that DeSantis’ claim stems from his parents’ “geographical” background: His father was raised in Pennsylvania, and his parents met while attending Youngstown State University in Ohio. But the governor himself never lived in either place, which just so happen to be key to any presidential ambitions.)

— Democrats say “Millennials are more likely than other generations to support a cap on personal wealth.” According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have always had too much wealth. It started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1967 and when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1970 when I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette and in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park with money that I earned working for IRS and working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time.
