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.)

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.

— 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. While I took graduate business and accounting courses at Loyola and DePaul 1972-1980, worked for IRS and for GAO. While I took graduate finance courses at IIT 1992-1997, I worked for GAO.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Christopher Rufo Claims a Degree from Harvard. Umm … Not Quite.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) would demonize, denigrate, and condemn the universities that I earned my degrees from: NIU (1970), Loyola (1976), DePaul (1980), and IIT (1997), b) would hint/imply/argue/shout that what I learned earning those degrees is long since stale, c) would stress that it took me 4 years to earn my NIU, Loyola, and DePaul degrees and 5 years to earn my IIT degree, and d) would stress that my GPAs were not that great. 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.

— Window of Opportunity and Up or Out (COMMENT: What are your demographics? When was your window of opportunity to get promoted? 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.)

— News aggregator (COMMENT: I am an independent not-for-profit conservative Republican political and government news aggregator. If you were me, how would you treat those who operate websites and who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who do not want me to drive traffic to their websites? I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on those who destroy me 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.)
