— To get more votes from student borrowers, Democrats ever-increasingly do everything that they can to write off student debt. Of course, that encourages more student debt that will be written off. How soon, if not already, will no college students work their way through college like I did 1966-1970? Granted, tuition was much less back then. But I was able to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE because I lived with my parents in Crete during my first 2 years at UIC, weekends during my first semester at NIU to keep my Park Forest Post Office job, and the summer of 1969. If tuition had been as high back then as it is now, the money that I spent on new cars (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) would have gone for tuition instead of for new cars.

— Targeting sex traffickers: Authorities focus on prostitution profiteers, not victims – Barbara Vitello
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230729/targeting-sex-traffickers-authorities-focus-on-prostitution-profiteers-not-victims
— FRONT PAGE: Democrats say “Illinois Democrats end year’s first half with slightly more cash than GOP.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What motivates you to give money to Republican candidates and organizations? For me, it is their record of defending and advancing the Republican Party platform, including its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230731/illinois-democrats-end-years-first-half-with-slightly-more-cash-than-gop-records-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party started the quarter with about $654,456 in the bank. Of that sum, about $165,140 was intended for federal uses and $489,316 was for down-ballot contests. The donations the party received over the next three months included: A total of $43,000 from Chair Don Tracy and his wife, Wanda, both of Springfield. A total of $48,000 from Dot Transportation and Dot Foods, companies owned by Don Tracy and his siblings. A total of $20,000 from billionaire real estate developer, former casino mogul and former Republican National Committee finance chair Steve Wynn and his wife, Andrea. $22,000 from Lake Forest resident and prodigious conservative donor Elizabeth Uihlein, the co-founder of the Uline shipping supply company. $199,089 from a federal Republican political action committee called Protect the House. $4,500 from Kathy Salvi. $600 from 2020 congressional candidate and former state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. The party’s expenses during the quarter included legal services, campaign consulting, robocalls, payroll and direct mail advertising. As of June 30, the GOP had $412,770 in federal funds and $557,943 in state-regulated cash, records show. It reported no debts. When asked to comment, Don Tracy said Pritzker “buys the loyalty of his party.” “We’re not funded by a billionaire figurehead,” said Tracy, who has led the state GOP since 2021. “Instead, we rely on the support of working families who want better government, less corruption and a lower tax burden.”)
CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats say “Facing legal peril, Trump calls on GOP to rally around him.” When adverse actions were taken against you, who rallied around you? I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) since 1999. My critics/opponents stress that MTRO did not rally around me a) when Wheaton rudely ended my role as Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005, b) when DuPage County rudely jerrymandered my precinct in 2015, a precinct that I had since 2000, c) when Wheaton Chamber of Commerce rudely ended my membership in its Government Affairs Committee in 2011, a membership that I had since 2003, d) when TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois rudely ended my chairmanship in 2012, an office that I had since 2005, e) when MTRO rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) when Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) rudely ended my membership on its Steering Committee in 2007, an office I had since 2003, g) when ICRC rudely almost succeeded in censuring me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004; the vote was 69 to 13 against me, and i) when American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter rudely ended my membership on its board of directors in 2004. I should write a book about how MTRO has treated me and why. I would focus on its leaders a) who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, b) who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems, and/or c) who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on the aforesaid MTRO leaders who orchestrated the aforesaid adverse actions against me or helped orchestrate them.
