(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lake Forest High School Principal Erin Lenart is strongly criticizing the characterization made in a posted social media video that a room in the school was being used as a “secretive and exclusive LGBTQ+ gathering place.” The video, which has been viewed approximately 1,400 times on YouTube, was later incorporated into a story posted by the Lake County Gazette, a news organization which is published by the Local Government Information Services, and funded “in part, by advocacy groups who share our beliefs in limited government,” according to its website. The Gazette story claims the room is allegedly being used as a “gay room,” where students and staff have been meeting in private during school hours.)

I share the following demographics with Trump: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, draft-avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

My teachers at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, and Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966 had a tremendous impact on me. Because of them, I was able to a) graduate in the upper 20% of my class, b) get an ACT score of 24, c) pass the Post Office employment examination in 1966, d) pass the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, e) earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, f) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, g) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, h) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, i) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and i) earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

https://amgreatness.com/2023/03/31/tennessee-state-troopers-prevent-far-left-radicals-from-storming-state-capitol/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, a mob of far-left pro-trans activists attempted to storm the Tennessee State Capitol after the Nashville school shooting, only to be stopped by state troopers. Just The News reports that the attempted breach was carried out by over 1,000 rioters, consisting mostly of young people, angry at growing backlash against the ideology of transgenderism after a mentally ill woman attacked a Christian school, shooting and killing six victims, including three 9-year-old children. Dramatic video footage shows the rioters repeatedly attempting to enter the State House of Representatives while the legislature was in session, with state troopers using their own bodies to block the doors and force the rioters back. At least one rioter can be seen being secured and taken away by the officers.)

CITY JOURNAL
— Beyond Race Sixty years on, the ethnic model described in Beyond the Melting Pot merits revisiting. – Charles Fain Lehman (COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly a) discourage assimilation and b) encourage immigrants to hate Republicans, and to especially hate Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, in traditional marriages, gun-owners, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.city-journal.org/beyond-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Between 1924 and 1964, roughly 7.7 million people—fewer than 200,000 a year—obtained lawful permanent-resident status in the United States. Between 1965 and 2020, the equivalent figure is 43.7 million, nearly 800,000 a year. Today, roughly 14 percent of the U.S. population was born abroad, three times higher than 1965 and roughly on par with the peaks of the late nineteenth century. This new immigration has profoundly changed the nation’s demographic composition. As late as the 1960 Census, blacks and whites constituted 99 percent of the U.S. population. Hispanics were not even identified separately; when they were, in 1970, they were less than 5 percent of Americans. In 2019, that same figure was 18.5 percent. Asians went from one-half of 1 percent in 1960 to 6 percent. Nearly a quarter of Americans now hail from groups that were essentially absent from America before 1965. The model of incomplete assimilation described in Beyond the Melting Pot may appear to suggest that these new Americans won’t assimilate any more completely than did the white ethnics who preceded them. But that would be too hasty, for the question remains open: Will these new immigrants count themselves as members of racial groups, or ethnic groups? Race continues to be prominent in our national debate. Assimilation has rarely been a dirtier word. Contemporary progressivism collapses ethnic and national origin distinctions into racial blocs: witness the rapid adoption of such homogenizing terms as BIPOC (“Black, Indigenous, Person of Color”) and AAPI (“Asian American and Pacific Islander”). This racialization forms a central component of the “antiracist” strategy for political power. Sometimes, members of ethnic groups behave in ways the progressive racial cosmology fails to predict—when Cuban Americans vote Republican, say, or Chinese Americans oppose affirmative action. In response, progressive advocates call for racial solidarity to bring fence-sitters in line, or label them privileged beneficiaries of “multiracial whiteness,” an implicit charge of race treason.)

— After nearly a century of publication and despite its name, Parents magazine now appears to promote childless woke-ism over parenthood – Michael Dorstewitz (COMMENT: All my Democrat superiors in the federal government who took adverse actions against me were parents. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who especially painted themselves as having had to sacrifice tremendously to have/raise children. I would focus on those who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that if my wife and I had children, I never would have had been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) get promoted in 1986, or f) earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Further, that we never would have been able a) to suffer the $20,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars that I took to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 or b) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984. Further, that I would not have been able a) to buy a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS collector car in 1989 or b) to buy a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 61%. That’s the share of NPR/PBS/Marist poll respondents who do not want Trump to be president again, including 21% of Republicans and 64% of Independents, while 38% of U.S. adults do. Besides Republicans, the only demographics in which a majority support Trump becoming president again are Trump 2020 voters (81% want him to be president again), residents of small towns (52%) and white evangelical Christians (55%)—though Marist notes support among that demographic has dropped from where it was in the past. White men without a college degree were evenly split 50/50 on whether or not Trump should return to the White House.)
