FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats say “Some Republicans (Pat Brady and Chris Sununu) call on Donald Trump to tone down divisive comments after NABJ interview.”
https://abc7chicago.com/post/republicans-call-donald-trump-tone-down-divisive-comments-after-nabj-convention-interview-chicago/15134714/
— Democrats say “DNC credentials 200 social media influencers for convention; United Center preparations underway. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker reportedly under consideration to be Kamala Harris’ running mate.” My critics/opponents take adverse actions against me to curry favor with the Democrat news media.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say Pritzker has been interviewed twice for Harris VP slot.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/01/gov-j-b-pritzker-interviewed-twice-for-kamala-harris-vp-slot-source-says/
— Democrats acknowledge: “Wealth in Chicago’s Black and brown communities was eroded intentionally by discriminatory policies.” Democrats run Chicago.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “VP contender J.B. Pritzker met twice with Kamala Harris’ vetting team.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024-democratic-national-convention/2024/08/01/jb-pritzker-vice-president-contender-kamala-harris-vetting
— Democrats ever-increasingly run America and make it clear that they are going to get rid of Republicans once and for all. Consequently, more and more and more Republicans buy firearms and ammunition for their self-defense.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats run Illinois. Democrats acknowledge that “Illinois ranks last at keeping rich people from moving out.” The more money that you earn/have, the harder that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to manipulate/dominate you. My federal pension is only $65,165/year and my Social Security is only $2,935/year, but still, no one can manipulate/dominate me. That said, the less money that you earn/have, the easier that it is for Democrat and RINO leaders to harm you. They removed me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/illinois-ranks-last-keeping-rich-people-moving-out
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A chart in the report shows Illinois with the worst record of retaining people who make $200,000 or more per year and, probably just as unsurprising, Florida with the best. For every $200,000-plus earner who leaves Florida, two and three-quarters move in. The lost income in Illinois from all out-migration, not just high earners, was about $9.85 billion in recent years, according to earlier IRS data. Based on individual tax returns filed in 2021 and 2022, the IRS reports about $19.38 billion in adjusted gross income left the state and about $9.58 billion moved in, for a net loss of $9.85 billion.)
— Democrats say “The one-hour delay that preceded Donald Trump’s July 31 appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists was not because of audio problems, as Trump later claimed, but because the former president objected to the group’s plan to fact-check his remarks in real time.” During the almost 18 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, I often worked as a fact checker, and especially during my last 11 years as a GS-13 Step 1-10 Analyst, currently $115,439-$150,075/year.

SOUTHERN
— Democrats say “Trump’s comments on Jewish Democrats, second gentleman Doug Emhoff spark criticism.”
https://southernillinoisnow.com/2024/08/01/trumps-comments-on-jewish-democrats-second-gentleman-doug-emhoff-spark-criticism/
— Democrats say “JD Vance is having a rocky rollout” and ask “How much does it matter to voters?”
https://southernillinoisnow.com/2024/08/01/jd-vance-is-having-a-rocky-rollout-how-much-does-it-matter-to-voters/
— Democrats say “Trump doubles down on false racial attacks on Harris, Republican senators squirm when confronted about it.” When Trump was asked about Harris and DEI, what if Trump had responded that Biden would not have picked Harris for Vice President if Harris had been White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or if her ancestors had been in America for a long time? But Democrats would have responded that Trump would not have picked Vance if Vance was older, Protestant, or had a wife who was White.

WGLT
— Democrats say “Changing population is changing the political landscape in Illinois.” Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly a) bring into Illinois those who have demographics that vote for Democrats and b) drive out of Illinois those who have demographics that vote for Republicans. How successful have the Democrat and RINO leaders in your county, township, and municipality been in doing that?
https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2024-08-01/changing-population-changes-politics-in-illinois

WGME
— Democrats say “An Illinois congresswoman on Tuesday introduced a bill she says would “constitutionally” define gender as “male and female.” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., proposed the Defining Male and Female Act two days before the Biden administration’s new Title IX regulations took effect. The regulations broaden the law to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity.”

ILLINOIS TIMES
— Democrats say “Sheriff defends hiring process.”

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Full-court press for Pritzker as VP – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/08/02/full-court-press-for-pritzker-as-vp-00172434
(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: JIM EDGAR’s VOTE: Former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar said he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris for president come November. “I just worry about [Donald Trump] getting to be president again. I think there are a lot of negative ramifications,” he told Playbook. “You have to put the country ahead of partisan politics, and to me there’s no choice but to vote for somebody other than Trump.” Edgar’s decision isn’t a complete surprise. He voted for Biden in 2020, and he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, either.)

CAPITOL FAX
— Democrats say “Morning briefing.”
https://capitolfax.com/2024/08/02/isabel%e2%80%99s-morning-briefing-339/
— Democrats say “Afternoon roundup.”
https://capitolfax.com/2024/08/01/isabel%e2%80%99s-afternoon-roundup-132/
— Democrats say “For third time, former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar won’t be voting for Donald Trump” Illinois has far too many people who say that they are Republicans, but who talk and/or act like they are Democrats. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Trump Is Right about Illegal Immigration and Black Jobs – PETER KIRSANOW (COMMENT: Since I was 13 years old in 1962, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for my taking jobs that they say should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. They stressed the many unemployed Blacks in Chicagoland and especially in the south suburbs. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who never took jobs like the ones I took make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, many, most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and/or subordinates were Black. Many, most, if not virtually all of my critics/opponents have never worked for Blacks, never worked with Blacks, or supervised Blacks.

NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Trump Elevates False, Fringe Attacks on Harris to Center of His Campaign. Rivals and critics have for years accused Kamala Harris of shifting her personal identity for political advantage, with those attacks escalating dramatically online since she became the Democratic standard-bearer.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/us/politics/trump-harris-race.html

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/31/opinion/trump-vance-weird-creepy.html
— Democrats say “The Harris Electorate. We examine who plans to vote for her.” Harris voters, that those who hate Trump, are overwhelmingly: minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, are in America illegally, have less money than others, have health problems, and/or are boozers, gamblers, stoners, and/or criminals.

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “Trump and allies unleash attacks on Harris’s gender and racial identity. The Republican nominee is leaning into his ugliest political instincts and finding a conservative ecosphere willing to go along.” When Trump was asked about Harris and DEI, what if Trump had responded that Biden would not have picked Harris for Vice President if Harris had been White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or if her ancestors had been in America for a long time? But Democrats would have responded that Trump would not have picked Vance if Vance was older, Protestant, or had a wife who was White.

USA TODAY
— Democrats say “Asked about aging and the presidency, Trump falsely claims Harris did not pass bar exam. The claim that former prosecutor Kamala Harris didn’t pass the bar exam came up in 2020 when she was a presidential candidate. Trump repeated it again Wednesday without acknowledging she passed (ON HER SECOND ATTEMPT). I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 in 1979. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass all its four parts on their first attempt. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. My critics/opponents have always ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the aforesaid. I should write about my critics/opponents who stress that others got better scores on the four parts of the examination than I did.

DESERT SUN
— Democrats ask “What is a ‘DEI hire?” and say “Diversity initiatives take election spotlight.” My Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were extremely unhappy, if not angry, when I was hired. They got even more unhappy, if not more angry, when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and when GAO promoted me in 1986. My Democrat superiors did everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. All the Democrats who they promoted over me a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like the one I had. They all were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.
