(FROM THE ARTICLE: Awake Illinois, a right-leaning political organization focused on education, is attracting some candidates for office in Illinois to sign a pledge promising support for, among other things, school choice, requiring schools to provide parents with annual reports about schools’ curriculum and prohibiting schools from teaching about consent, sexual orientation or gender identity. “Not only do we stand beside you completely, I look forward to working with you once elected as governor to work to begin to rescind the nonsense,” said gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, at a virtual event hosted by Awake Illinois on Sunday. As of Wednesday, several others have signed the pledge, including gubernatorial candidate Max Solomon, U.S. Senate candidate Matthew Dubiel, attorney general candidate Thomas DeVore and 13th Congressional District candidate Regan Deering. The 13th district includes portions of Champaign, Decatur, Springfield and the Metro East. Four candidates for state legislative office have also signed on.)

OUR QUAD CITIES
— COMMENT: Democrats promote LGBTQ in Rock Island. I spent 6 months in Rock Island in 1989. In early 1989, to punish me for becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in September of 1988, my Democrat GAO superiors a) threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, b) assigned me to a 6-month out-of-town audit in Rock Island, c) stressed to my supervisor who was a veteran, Democrat, non-Protestant, and non-German American that I was a draft avoider, Republican, Protestant, and German American, d) got him to give me unfair job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal, and e) did everything that they could to turn my four subordinates against me. To get my veteran Democrat non-Protestant, non-German American supervisor to do the aforesaid, my Democrat GAO superiors granted his request to be transferred to GAO’s Hawaii office so that he could retire there. My Democrat GAO superiors were able to do the aforesaid because in 1987, they had forced the GAO manager who had hired me in 1980, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and had promoted me in 1986 to retire. One of my Democrat GAO superiors was a close relative of someone who I had just sued. My Democrat GAO superiors would have taken even bigger adverse actions against me if Henry Hyde had not came to my defense. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/NSIAD-90-23

I am proud to stand with @starbucksunion and every worker organizing for better wages, safer conditions, and dignity on the job.
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. They stress that I am a draft avoider and they hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, and even worse things, and that because of that, if I had not been a union member, a) the Post Office would have forced me to resign much sooner than it did and b) IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘Uncle Sugar’ at work in calls for student-debt cancellation – Jennifer Harper
(COMMENT: In 1970, I graduated from NIU debt-free and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I was able to do that a) because my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969 and b) because I worked part–time for the Park Forest Post Office while I completed courses at UIC and NIU and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/apr/27/inside-beltway-uncle-sugar-work/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The biggest beneficiaries would be white Americans under the age of 40 who have graduate degrees and live in high-income, majority-white neighborhoods — in other words, extremely online Democrats. Biden’s Hail Mary pass for the coming midterms is a massive wealth transfer from taxpayers to the Democratic Party’s activist class, and that will exacerbate the already-bad inflation crisis,” Mr. Geraghty wrote. “If you borrow money and sign a contract promising to pay it back, then you must pay it back, or you will suffer serious long-term financial consequences. Or at least, that’s the way it used to work until Democrats decided they could win a lot of votes by just waving a magic wand and declaring that people didn’t have to pay their student debt back,” the columnist summarized.)

(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I did not get a student loan because I have always been a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, and bigot, and even worse things. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them. I would start with those who are the most anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
