Bailey said he expects to get the former president’s endorsement and told reporters that if the elder Trump is convicted on any of the charges he faces, “my opinion (of the former president) won’t change.”)

In 2012, they succeeded in ending my TAPROOT chairmanship and in destroying TAPROOT. In 2007, they succeeded in ending my ICRC Steering Committee membership and in destroying ICRC.

— Paid leave talks collapse as Chicago businesses draw a line in the sand. Businesses don’t want to pay workers for unused leave when they leave their jobs, 22nd Ward Ald. Michael Rodriguez said. – Fran Spielman (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always been furious a) that I got all my unused sick leave reinstated that I had earned working part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969 when I went to work for IRS in 1971 and b) that my nearly year of unused sick leave was treated as though I had worked that time to compute my Civil Service Retirement System pension when I was forced to take early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I took far less sick leave than my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates.)

— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: $20,000 grant from CHA puts homeownership within residents’ reach. A single mother who earlier this month closed on an East Garfield Park single-family home became the CHA’s new down payment program’s first recipient. – Elvia Malagón (COMMENT: Where did the downpayment(s)come from for the real estate that you bought? When I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972, it came from what I had earned working for IRS and for Firestone Stores. When I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, it came from want I earned working for IRS. When I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, it came from the proceeds from selling my studio condo. When my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978, it came from her savings. When my wife and I had 915 Cove Court in Wheaton built in 1984, it came from the proceeds of selling 1017 East Harrison. When we bought a small unit at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville in late 2020, we paid for it with our savings. When we bought a much larger unit at Iron Gate early this year, we paid for it with proceeds of selling our smaller unit and with money that I inherited in 2022.)

https://wirepoints.org/newsguard-part-of-the-government-media-censorship-complex-promoted-by-chicago-tribune-to-combat-misinformation-wirepoints/
(FRM THE ARTICLE: A report by Media Research Center found showed that NewsGuard has for years rated left-leaning, establishment news sites consistently higher than conservative news sites. I can personally attest to that bias. I subscribed to NewsGuard over recent months to see for myself. Its bias is brazen in its 0 to 100 rankings for credibility, with 100 being best. These rankings may have changed a bit since I unsubscribed, but I, too, saw that left-leaning and establishment sights got far higher rankings than comparable conservative ones. The left’s Axios, for example, which actually tells you what progressive viewpoint you are supposed to think is important in every article, got a perfect 100. Fox got 69.5 but CNN got 80. Radically left Mother Jones got 87.5 but the conservative Federalist got a horrible 12.5. Our local Cook County Record, which is excellent though leans a bit conservative, got a paltry 32. The ridiculously biased and widely ridiculed Politifact got a perfect 100. The list goes on and on.)

In my defense, a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.)

— Will an attack on federal employees swing the election? – DONALD F. KETTL (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonstrated the most hatred against federal employees. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

October 27, 2023

Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/10/27/white-house-demands-action-from-gop-lawmakers-on-gun-control-after-latest-mass-shooting-1407744/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House called for Republicans in Congress to get with the program and help to pass sweeping new anti-Second Amendment laws after another mass shooting, exploiting the tragedy to bully lawmakers at the height of public outrage. The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)

GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0acb6ea4-7408-11ee-b6d2-17c0c2c516cd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the IRS plans for a $78 billion investment that could transform the agency over the next decade, Democrats and Republicans have starkly different views about the challenges it faces going forward. The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

— Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is slammed ‘for locking huge crowd out of public meeting about plan for migrant camp in crime-ridden city – even though there was plenty of space inside.’ The city is planning to erect a tent shelter camp to house up to 2,000 asylum seekers. But locals claim they were not consulted and have safety concerns for themselves and the potential residents. Close to 20,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022 as the city struggles with an accommodation shortage. – ISABELLE STANLEY

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

He died suddenly in October of 1969 when he tried to lift a heavy speaker at the Blue Note Tap in Momence. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather on my father’s side all had less money because they paid to send their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete.)

CHICAGO CONTRARIAN
— Stay or Go: Chicago’s Jewish Community Has a Choice to Make – BENJAMIN BLAIR
https://www.chicagocontrarian.com/blog/chicago-jewish-community-has-choice-to-make
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With rising anti-Semitism in the Windy City, does the urban equation still add up for the 85,000 Jews in Chicago? Roughly two percent of the world’s Jewish community resides in the greater Chicago area. According to a recent Brandeis study of the Chicagoland Jewish community, in 2020, there were 319,600 Jewish adults and children spread across 175,800 households in Chicago and its suburbs. Chicago’s Jewish population count was 85,000 at the time of the study. Chicago Jews are a diverse bunch. Some are observant, following as many of the 613 mitzvot (which comprise “doing good deeds” or “avoiding bad deeds”) as possible, including putting on Tefillin, observing shabbat and the holidays/festivals, and saying prayers daily. Others worship themselves, including Zen and the art of vaginoplasty. By the numbers, Chicago’s Jewish community was seven percent Orthodox (i.e., observant) in 2020 (the same as 2010). Conservative Jews, who generally believe they are fully observant with a few caveats, although the Orthodox would disagree, made up 16 percent of the population (down from 30 percent in 2010). Reform Jews (the Unitarians of the Jewish world) came in at 29 percent (down from 45 percent). Somewhat shockingly, 44 percent of the Jewish community had “no denomination” in 2020 (up from 14 percent in 2010). But the politics of Chicago’s Jewish community should surprise no one: 16 percent volunteer themselves as “extremely liberal”; 36 percent clock in as liberal; 18 percent are moderate; six percent are slightly conservative; 10 percent are conservative; and 2 percent are extremely conservative. In short: Most Chicago Jews don’t agree on much, but they tilt far to the political “left” outside the Orthodox community. In fact, many of Barack Obama’s biggest fanboys (inside baseball note: Who were generally responsible for driving his rise to fame even before his run for the White House) came from Chicago’s Jewish community – think the Pritzker family, for one.)

I should write a book about how my Democrat GAO superiors used Republican-led budget cuts 1980-1997 to get rid of their Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they took against me to get rid of me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old a) because I was all of the aforesaid, b) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) because I had been a union member while I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for the Post Office 1966-1969.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— INVEST IN KIDS TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIPS MOSTLY GO TO BLACK, HISPANIC STUDENTS – Mailee Smith (COMMENT: To have enough money to pay for sending my brother and I to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete and then Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1953-1969, my father worked second jobs, most commonly, he played piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs, and working an A&W. He died suddenly in October of 1969 when he tried to lift a heavy speaker at the Blue Note Tap in Momence. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather on my father’s side all had less money because they paid to send their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Illegal aliens are rational investors – Andrew Hodge
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/illegal_aliens_are_rational_investors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Migrants coming to the USA right now have to make a significant investment. There is a monetary investment in the form of payment given to the Mexican drug cartels to shepherd them to and across the border. Many migrants take flights from their home countries to Central or South America and then trek north. Flights costs money, which increases their investment after payments to the cartels. Often this also involves future payments earned as the result of working in this country, legally or not. These payments may be monetary or in the form of indentured labor. There are other forms of investment as well. Primary among them is human capital. Hiking from Central or South America to the U.S. border is not easy. It involves many weeks of time; many miles of walking; and risk of physical danger from snakes, terrain, and weather along the way. You have to sleep outside a lot, access to food is uncertain, and one has to negotiate the Rio Grande and the desert. We know that many are lost in transit. On top of that, there is the real risk of mistreatment by the cartels. Many, many adult and adolescent female migrants are sexually abused on their journey here. Children of both sexes are often abused as well. Once in the USA, they are often trafficked. Men and women are forced into indentured servitude by the cartels in different forms, some involving drug-dealing. The women are placed in brothels, displaying their wares on the streets of American cities. Think of the psychological and physical scars accrued by these people. That is a real cost that represents a very significant personal investment.)

They have always used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that the courses that I took at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, Roosevelt 1980-1981, and IIT 1992-1997 were not job-related, did not maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and/or were a distraction. The aforesaid was stressed my Money Magazine in its February 1978 4-page article on me and that gave IRS an excuse to disallow my graduate business courses at Loyola and my graduate accounting courses at DePaul.)

Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrats will ever-increasingly send more illegals to DuPage County, to Milton Township, and to Wheaton to destroy DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. The only thing that might slow them down is opposition from the ever-increasing number of rich wealthy limousine liberal Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who have invaded and taken over parts of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

— Middle East off the table in Springfield – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/10/23/whats-off-the-table-in-springfield-00122973
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RESOLUTION REPOSE: State lawmakers aren’t expected to vote on any resolutions related to the Middle East during the veto session that starts this week. Taking a position: Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon, both Democrats, are taking the view that state lawmakers should focus on state issues — not what’s happening in another part of the world. Critics, of course, say silence speaks louder than words. Behind the scenes: Welch and Harmon have privately indicated to lawmakers they won’t call any resolutions on the issue. They know that allowing a pro-Israel resolution to pop up would prompt a pro-Palestinian resolution to follow, and vice versa, which could create party chaos as Democrats are split on the issue. The logic: Harmon and Welch want to avoid a repeat of what happened in the Chicago City Council earlier this month that saw rowdy members of the public kicked out of the chambers and aldermen leaving the building in order to avoid going on the record on a resolution supporting Israel. Not to be deterred: Republican Rep. Brad Halbrook and Senate Minority Leader Tony McCombie have offered up resolutions condemning the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel. But with Democrats in charge, those measures aren’t likely to see the light of day.)

Anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout a) that all the jobs that you had were bad jobs, b) that you did not get better jobs because of you had many serious faults and shortcomings, c) that you were nevertheless grossly overpaid, and d) that they would never stoop to take the jobs that you took.

— Highland GOP councilman gets party blowback for endorsing Dem clerk-treasurer – Michelle L. Quinn (COMMENT: Based on the many big adverse actions that anti-conservative leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have taken against me since 2000, it is obvious that they would never have appointed me to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I should write a book about the aforesaid anti-conservative leaders and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me since 2000 including rudely firing me as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010 and slandering me during MTRO meetings.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Highland councilman is expected to be stripped of his precinct committee position after publicly endorsing the town’s Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate in the upcoming general election. Lake County Republican Chairman and Congressional candidate Randy Niemeyer confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be removing Highland Councilman Mark Schocke, R-3, from the precinct committee after Schocke appeared in a campaign mailer endorsing current Highland Clerk-Treasurer Mark Herak. Herak is running against Republican Kathy Camp-Burke. Because Schocke was appointed to the precinct, he can be removed at the County Chair’s discretion and not go through a hearing process as an elected committeeman would, Niemeyer said. He said he hadn’t executed the order as of Wednesday afternoon, but only because he hadn’t had the chance. Niemeyer said his decision to remove Schocke isn’t personal; it’s just that he has a party to protect.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20231021/it-may-be-that-the-only-solution-to-house-chaos-is-true-cooperation-between-parties
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight Republicans forced the current crisis in the House when they engineered the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 5. But Democrats, remember, are not blameless. Any reasonably informed observer could have foreseen that when a small cabal of extremists managed to depose their party’s leader with no plan for a successor and no likely option waiting in the wings, trouble lurked for the entire body. The GOP chaos may have provided a few temporary partisan chuckles for Democrats, not one of whom lifted a finger to try to rescue McCarthy, but the situation facing the country now is not at all funny.)

— A Migrant Windfall: Nine Grand Each for Housing in Chicago. Biden demands loans and credit cards for illegals – so much for sustainable. – Joe Schaeffer
https://www.libertynation.com/a-migrant-windfall-nine-grand-each-for-housing-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Americans struggle mightily to cope with the buckling effects of inflation on food, gasoline, and other necessities, the benefits for illegal migrant newcomers keep piling up. The state of Illinois is funding temporary housing for migrants, providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over six months. How many Americans could use a $9,000 housing stipend right about now? “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” Cristina Pacione-Zayas, chief of staff to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, told the Chicago’s Fox 32 TV station October 13. As is so often the case, Democrat notions of the “ideal” results of their feckless policies are failing to materialize. In New York City, where illegal migrants have become a crushing burden on the blue-run government, the new arrivals are simply not working. . .Chicago Democrats are starting to realize that their empty platitudes about welcoming the world to America are unaffordable, something any responsible adult should have realized from the beginning.)

I lived in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976 and full-time 1976-1978, but only because I got promoted to a job there.

— Overseas US military members to get pay cut…again? – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/overseas_us_military_members_to_get_pay_cutagain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes. Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state. Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal aliens, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.)

— Democrats say “How To Use Storytelling In Your MBA Applications.” In my 1971 Loyola MBA application, I stressed that I wanted to take graduate evening business courses to maintain and improve my job skills. I had just been hired by IRS and my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business courses. Starting in 1972, I took and deducted one graduate evening business course at a time at Loyola and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. But in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those 16 courses. They intentionally ignored what I had stated in my application. They argued that the courses a) did not maintain or improve my job skills, b) were not related to my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) qualified me for a new trade or business, and e) were a distraction. I appealed to Tax Court and won. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed the courses if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

But each demonstration told a story differently.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote more mass/illegal immigration. To this day, German Americans are blamed for WWI, WWII, and the Holocaust. I am 100% German.

— Are you on track to retire? – Brian Althimer (COMMENT: For almost 30 years, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). But in today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972. That is because a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and never promoted me beyond GS-13, b) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Flooded basements are becoming more common in Chicago. Here’s what you (and city officials) can do. When big storms hit, basements fill with stormwater and sewage. But there are steps, big and small, that could help keep Chicago above water. – Jessica Pupovac (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many thousands of dollars and the many hundreds of hours that I have had to spend since 1984 to stop basement and lot flooding a) because Wheaton approved a subdivision lot drainage plan that was woefully inadequate and b) because Wheaton allowed many serious construction/building code violations. Wheaton and developer/builder should have but did not disclose to potential lot buyers that the subdivision was constructed on a watershed area and former septic field that was cris-crossed with subterranean drainage lines. Further, Wheaton allowed construction of 928 Golf Lane uphill ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/928-Golf-Ln-60189/home/18126604 ) and that dramatically increased stormwater runoff problems for the subdivision and especially for my lot.)

Here’s how much you need earn to afford one in Chicago – Katlyn Brieskorn, Addy Bink (COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors ever-increasingly did everything that they could to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being promoted too fast and as being overpaid. My IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12 and got rid of the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13 and got rid of the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer and who had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer ” in 1997. The would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a federal lawsuit in effect against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, house republicans are hoping the Supreme Court will find the assault weapon ban unconstitutional. “We would ask everybody to not do it for now. The law doesn’t take effect until January 1st, 2024 so there is no reason to do it now. Especially while we have the lawsuit out there, hoping it to be unconstitutional,” explains, 90th District Rep. John Cabello. “People are saying it’s going to be overturned. No one knows what the Supreme Court is going to do. I’m a lawyer, I’ve been a lawyer for decades, don’t count on the Supreme Court to protect you,” says 65th District Representative Dave Vella. He says he is worried the low registration rate could be because people may not be aware of the registration requirement. “I don’t want law abiding citizens, for instance, calling saying my house was burglarized but not calling the police because they are scared of being in possession of assault weapons, and that’s kind of why I’m trying to help as much as I can,” he adds. Rep. Cabello is still pushing for 2nd amendment gun rights. “There is a reason that citizens of the US and the state of Illinois should be able to have these types of weapons, and it’s for the protection of their family,” says Cabello.)

— Oak Parker calls for donations to help for illegal immigrant ‘new neighbors’ living in village (COMMENT: Oak Park today. Your municipality tomorrow. When and where will Democrats pitch tents for illegals in your county, in your township, in your municipality, in your school district, in your precinct, and in your neighborhood? Why aren’t Democrats taking illegals into their homes instead of forcing them to live in tents? Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.)
https://westcooknews.com/stories/650372793-oak-parker-calls-for-donations-to-help-for-illegal-immigrant-new-neighbors-living-in-village
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Overwhelmed by the growing number of people in need, she emphasized the dire situation and the need for more tents and tarps as winter approaches, while also seeking support from faith communities to provide shelter and respite during the day. The result is a growing tent city located across from the Oak Park Police station located at 123 Madison St. “Thank you all for continuing to be so supportive of the humanitarian crisis that is going on. What is happening at the police station requires FEMA level support, but we are not getting it so here I am yet again, begging for help,” Biehler Desai said on Facebook. “Since the last time I posted just a few days ago we went thru nearly all 100 tents that were donated. Currently at Station 15 on Madison there are 140 people with 30 more in route as I type. There are 40 children, many sleeping outside in tents. WE NEED MORE TENTS AND TARPS (the tents do no good without the tarps). Every police station in the entire city is overflowing with more on the way.” “I know many of you have already bought one or more and for that I am very grateful. Please share with your friends and family so that we can get these much needed tents. If you have a connection with a faith community that would consider opening their doors for our new neighbors please ask them. We are reaching out to many churches to try and get some respite during the day so people do not have to be out in this weather. A big thank you to St Catherine/St Lucy who have been providing this along with a lot of other services 2x a week since this crisis began.” “This is the time we all have to step up, again and again and again. I thank you in advance for continuing to step up. The situation really is very dire.” “Here we go again with a new wish list for more desperately needed tents and tarps.” The illegal immigrant crisis has resulted in police stations overflowing in Chicago. That overflow has made its way into the suburbs now as well. In a previous post Biehler Desai said a bus showed up and dropped off those who are now sleeping outside. “Just hours ago, a bus arrived at the station with 20 plus people and there is literally no room. So, our new friends are now in the parking lot across the street from the station,” Biehler Desai said on Facebook. Biehler Desai is a registered nurse working at Advocate Health Care. She is taking the donations at her historic 2,461 square foot three bedroom, three bathroom located at 1140 N. Euclid Ave. in Oak Park.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Almost this entire al-Ahli Baptist Hospital story is a massive lie started by Hamas and amplified by western media. There was no Israeli bombing, a hospital was not hit or seriously damaged, something hit the parking lot leaving cars just yards away intact, almost certainly part of a misfired terror group rocket, and the likelihood that over 500 people were killed is slim. – William A.

— Antisemitism Among Muslim Migrants Unsettles a Germany Haunted by the Holocaust. Authorities prohibit pro-Palestinian demonstrations and displays of support for Hamas, as incidents of antisemitic crimes surge. – Bojan Pancevski (COMMENT: To force my many Jewish superiors and supervisors in the federal government to take many big adverse actions against me, my Democrat superiors did not hint/imply/argue/shout that I was pro-Muslim, but they did stress that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. My Democrat Chicago office GAO superiors were frustrated in 1990 when I volunteered to work for their highest profile Jewish manager. She was a GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year) who managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. My Democrat GAO coworkers did not want to work for her because she was Jewish and because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, liberal, young, attractive, and wealthy. My Democrat GAO superiors were further frustrated when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1996 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, they succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)
