CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— With state facing $3B deficit, GOP senators call on Gov. JB Pritzker to promise no tax hikes

— Senate confirms April Perry, former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, to be a federal district judge
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/12/april-perry-illinois-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In April, Biden nominated Perry to be a federal district judge after Sen. Richard Durbin had recommended her for the judgeship.  Perry’s nomination to be a judge — a position that carries a life tenure — came in a roundabout way. She was nominated last year to be the first female U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Her nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate — despite being voted out of committee — after Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who now is the vice president-elect, objected to her nomination. He also said he held up all other nominations in the federal Department of Justice because of federal indictments of former President Donald Trump. Vance later added that he also was opposed to Perry’s nomination to be U.S. attorney because of her role in the Jussie Smollett case, where the “Empire” actor falsely claimed he was the victim of a hate crime. Vance accused Perry of rubber stamping unethical decisions made by the office of Perry’s then-boss, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. . .Tuesday’s 51-44 vote was largely — though not entirely — along party lines. Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski both supported Perry’s nomination. Three Republican senators, including Vance, missed the vote.)

NBC5
— Trump says Musk and Ramaswamy will lead government efficiency group (COMMENT: What do the Democrats who run GAO have to say about this? GAO is supposed to promote government efficiency. That is a big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. But the Democrats who ran GAO wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They wasted what I had learned a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting and finance, c) earning professional certifications in accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting, and c) earning a CPA license. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/business/money-report/trump-says-musk-and-ramaswamy-will-lead-government-efficiency-group/3599294/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump wrote in a post that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will “become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.” He also said the group would, “pave the way” for his next administration to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”)

CHICAGO MAROON
— How Do Democratic and Republican Students Feel About Election Results?
https://chicagomaroon.com/44616/news/how-do-democratic-and-republican-students-feel-about-election-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Second-year Akshay Kirthi, a self-identified Republican, expressed a sense of validation from the results of the presidential election, which he believes demonstrated that the Democratic Party is out of touch with the American majority. He believes the strength of Trump’s results reflected the domestic and economic priorities of the American people. “[Democrats] have denigrated the American people for their choice in this election. They called the majority of this country sexist, bigoted, homophobic, deplorable, ignorant, and worse,” Kirthi said. Similarly, fourth-year Hank Hyatt, who is a part of the leadership of College Republicans, felt the election results matched his prediction. “I definitely did believe Trump was going to win,” Hyatt said. “Personally, I’m very excited for the future.” Both Chaudhry and Kirthi commented on the nationwide change in voting this election cycle. “In comparison to 2020, I think it shows there has been a large Republican shift,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi saw this trend in a more optimistic light. “Fundamentally, the American people want change. They want a vision to grow the economy, close the border, end the wars around the world, and control the federal bureaucracy,” Kirthi said. While much of the focus of this election season has been on the presidential race, both sides identified positive results in the smaller, more localized races, such as state Senate elections. For Chaudhry, Democratic Senate victories in Michigan (Elissa Slotkin) and Wisconsin (Tammy Baldwin) have helped her remain hopeful. “Sometimes, zooming in, it’s validating to know that there are smaller areas of hope and impactful elections that happened this season,” Chaudhry said. Kirthi believes that with a Republican-controlled House, Senate, and presidency, there are more opportunities for Trump to follow through with his policies. Although the House majority has not been set yet, many project that Republicans will hold on to their majority.  “Trump will be able to take his agenda far further in 2024 because he knows who the bad actors are [in Washington], understands more clearly what his agenda has to be, and knows the personnel and the transition team [he needs] to help him achieve this goal,” Kirthi said. “Trump clearly will be able to implement a much more defined America First agenda. The next presidential cycle provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to either realign or reaffirm their party’s goals and promises. Chaudhry highlighted the necessity for the Democratic Party to look internally and identify the priorities of young and working-class voters. “Aligning the Democratic Party with working-class people in America is really important,” Chaudhry said. “Democrats need to refocus on issues like the economy and immigration that are very winnable. ”Kirthi, too, sees this as a learning opportunity for the Democrats. “Look into the mirror and acknowledge why the American people didn’t buy into their vision this time,” Kirthi said. “The American people have given the Republican Party a mandate of trust to fully implement their vision, but this trust is contingent on good governance and delivering on promises.”)

— To vote for Democrats is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. The aforesaid brings forth poverty and crime. 477 in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton voted for Democrat Harris and between 430 and 349 voted for the other Democrats on the ballot. Because of that, the future of not only my precinct is bleak, but the future is bleak for Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, America, and the world. – Dave Diersen

The aforesaid are taking advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans have built here. The aforesaid are fleeing the poverty and crime that the Democrat Party platform brings forth.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2024/11/07/trumps-election-is-a-referendum-on-dei-1501077/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America has flourished because we are a meritocracy. The Biden/Harris administration has endorsed the replacement of meritocracy with the phony banner of diversity. Meritocracy and diversity are opposites. Instead of promoting people based on competence, advocates of diversity want promotions to be based on race and gender. With the ascendancy of identity politics, said Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, “skin color trumps merit—as long as that skin isn’t white.” “The rejection of objective standards of accomplishment is nihilistic,” said Heather Mac Donald in When Race Trumps Merit. “The diversity movement deems color-blind measures of competence to be unjust instruments of racial exclusion.” The entire basis of American exceptionalism—competence—is being outlawed. Evidence of the trend is everywhere. The majority of top-25 medical schools are supporting equity and critical race theory. “Medical schools are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession,” says Heather Mac Donald. The physician performing your brain surgery could be the product of affirmative action. Going in for surgery would become an act of suicide, as surgeons are no longer held to standards of excellence. United Airlines has thrown merit to the winds by announcing that 50 percent of all new pilots will be chosen from among minorities and women. Eligibility for an Academy Award will no longer be based on merit. Nominees must adhere to a quota of minorities and women in both cast and crew. Thanks to the Democrats, diversity has been applied to candidates for high office. Enter Kamala Harris—a vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views—who on Tuesday came within a hair’s breadth of the presidency. How could we allow that to happen? . . The day we repudiate merit is the day America crumbles. Happily, that day has not arrived and Harris is not the president-elect. Never forget how close we came.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: An amendment to the Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act going into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, imposes many new obligations on employers regarding the use of E-Verify – some that go beyond federal E-Verify requirements. The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has published guidance on the law that also clarifies that the law does not ban the use of E-Verify in Illinois. The new law includes strict deadlines for employer notifications and attestations, among other requirements. In addition to clarifying that E-Verify can be used in Illinois, the new guidance: Urges employers using E-Verify to familiarize themselves with information on the IDOL website about the accuracy of E-Verify; Prohibits misuse of E-Verify, including for pre-screening; Encourages employers to review and understand their legal responsibilities regarding posting and notice requirements; Reminds employers that employees may file complaints for alleged violations with IDOL; and Explains that any adverse action against an employee or applicant who files a complaint under the Right to Privacy Act is prohibited. Illinois employers will violate state law by: Failing to display E-Verify notices supplied by the federal and Illinois state governments; Failing to have all employees who use the system participate in the required computer-based training; Failing to prevent employees from circumventing the training requirement; Misusing E-Verify in any way including using the system for pre-screening or screening current employees; Failing to safeguard the information in the system and preventing unauthorized access; and Failing to follow the notification and attestation requirements in the law. The law imposes on employers notification and attestation requirements that are particularly detailed. Here are just some examples: Upon initial enrollment in E-Verify or within 30 days of the effective date of the amendment (Jan. 1, 2025), the employer must file an attestation that they have received all the training materials and that they will do the training, post the required notices, and retain all certifications of completion of training for possible inspection. If the employer contends there is a discrepancy in the employment verification documents provided by an employee, the employer must explain the specific deficiency to the employee, provide the employee with instructions as to how to correct the deficiency, explain that the employee has a right to representation, and, upon request, provide the original document that provides the basis for the deficiency within 7 business days. When an employer receives a notification of a discrepancy from a state or federal agency: Employer cannot take any adverse action including re-verification based on the notification. Employer must provide notification to the employee not more than 5 business days after receipt of notification. Employer must provide an explanation of discrepancy, time period to contest, and provide the original notice within 7 business days. Employer must provide notification to employee’s representative within same time frame. Notification should be by hand if possible, but if not possible, notification must be by mail and email. When an employer receives notice of an upcoming inspection by an agency of I-9 forms or other related documents: Employer must provide notice to all employees in all relevant languages within 72 hours of receipt of the notice. Employer must also provide written notice to employees’ representatives, when applicable. Notice should include details regarding the conducting agency, the date the notice was received, the nature of the inspection and a copy of the notice. (IDOL is expected to prepare a template for this notification.) If during an inspection, a problem is uncovered about a specific employee: Employer must provide written notice to the employee and employee’s representative within 5 business days. Notice should be provided in person if possible or by mail and email. Notice should include a full explanation of what was found, the time period for the employee to notify the employer if they plan to contest the finding, the time and date of any upcoming meetings on the topic, and the employee’s right to representation. If the employee contests the determination, the employer must notify the employee within 72 hours after receipt of a final determination and provide the original notice within 7 business days.)
