— Chicago’s labor market is driving migration to the city – Jack Grieve (COMMENT: Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats.

In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

— As unemployment in the black community climbs, Chicago Democrats hold a job fair for illegals – Olivia Murray (COMMENT: Employment is a zero-sum-game.

To hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of foreign countries, Democrat, of one minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time is to not hire, promote, and/or retain those who are citizens of America, Republican, of another minority, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. All those who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were most if not virtually all of the following: Black, Hispanic, Asian, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Further, all of them had less job-related work experience than I had, less job-related education than I had, fewer job-related professional certifications than I had or no certifications, and/or no job-related professional license like the one I had. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

TOWNHALL
— The Freedom to Drive – Terry Jeffrey (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been anti-car if not car-haters. I have owned cars since I was 16 in 1964, and I own seven now and a SUV. Because I could not find a job in Crete in 1964, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in Monee in 1964 with money that I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers so that could take a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in Chicago Heights. After that, I used cars that I bought to get to/from jobs a) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor, chipping slag and pumping gasoline in South Chicago Heights, delivering mail in Park Forest, working on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumping gasoline again in Chicago Heights, collecting delinquent taxes in the south suburbs, and auditing federal agencies in the Chicago area and b) classes at UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, Roosevelt, and IIT. While I own eight vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA Illinois newsletters together and sending them out.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled,” LaHood told the Associated Press in a Feb. 19, 2009 interview. “What I see this administration doing is this — thinking outside the box on how we fund our infrastructure in America,” he said. Even the Obama administration, however, did not fully embrace what LaHood was suggesting. . .The Obama administration did not pursue a vehicle-miles-traveled tax, but Secretary LaHood did advance a plan to reduce American driving. On June 16, 2009, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs held a hearing on “Greener Communities, Greater Opportunities: New Ideas For Sustainable Development and Economic Growth.” LaHood testified at this hearing on his vision for “more livable communities” and “transit-oriented development.” . . . “Transit-oriented, mixed-use development has the potential to provide efficient and convenient options for employers, developers, young professionals and families in many large and small cities around the United States,” LaHood said. “Transit-oriented development,” he said, “also has the potential to contribute significantly to the revitalization of downtown districts, foster workable neighborhoods, and offer an alternative to urban and suburban sprawl and automobile focused commuting.” On April 14, 2009, the Heritage Foundation published a report by Ronald Utt, which this writer cited in his 2010 book “Control Freaks.” Utt’s report was entitled “President Obama’s New Plan to Decide Where Americans Live and How They Travel.” “To save Americans from these alleged higher living costs,” Utt wrote, “the Smart Growth and New Urbanist movements want Americans to move into higher-density developments — such as townhouses and high-rise apartment buildings — which, the anti-suburbanists contend, can be better served by public transportation (hence the commitment to ‘transportation choice,’ a process whereby commuters are bribed or coerced into an inconvenient mode of transportation that most would not choose on their own) — thereby freeing the hapless American people from relying on their automobiles.”)

— Vivek Ramaswamy vows to fire federal workers based on Social Security numbers: ‘Nothing will break’ – Melissa Koenig (COMMENT: From what I see, Ramaswamy would have a very low opinion of me a) because I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, b) because I have been a federal retiree for more than 26 years, c) because the federal government never promoted me beyond GS-13 Step 10 (currently $142,650/year) even though I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license, d) because the federal government forced me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, and most importantly, e) because Hastert, my Republican U.S. Senators, and my Republican U.S . Representatives dumped me.)

— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)

They wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my subordinate who was liberal, Democrat, Black, and younger.)

— As America Celebrates Its Veterans, the Population Is Younger, More Diverse and Shrinking – Patricia Kime (COMMENT: While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 (Post Office), 1971-1980 (IRS), and 1980-1997 GAO), the percentage of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate who were veterans was very high, but that percentage decreased. Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

Darin LaHood as a “former moderate” who “raced to the unreasonable Right” and tied himself to “the most unethical and least transparent president in history.” LaHood still represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, and his father, Ray LaHood, was a famously moderate Republican figure. “Darin LaHood is your quintessential average Republican congressman. And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)

— Calls for Joe Biden not to run raise an age-old question we all face eventually – Clarence Page (COMMENT: How old were you when you got your last promotion? For me, it was late 1986, when I was 38 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that I applied for that promotion to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, and they were more furious with the GAO manager who promoted me. He had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and he had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in early 1986. They were so furious that they forced him to retire in 1987. They threatened to punish me severely if I ever applied for a promotion again. That prompted me to become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in late 1988. Because of that, they threw me off audits of IRS and gave me a very bad job assignment, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal in 1989. 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.)

— Several Illinois schools listed in Wall Street Journal rankings of best Midwest colleges (COMMENT: From which college(s) did you earn your degree(s)? According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League colleges are worthless, that is, my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT are worthless. To provide just one example, a University of Chicago MBA holder who was my superior during my last 8 years at GAO and my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years specifically and overtly treated my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT was worthless. She headed the office’s group that audited federal financial industry regulators. I volunteered to work for her in 1990 because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. While I had master’s degrees in business and accounting, I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, and I was a licensed CPA, she stressed that I had taken relatively few courses in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening courses in finance at IIT in 1992, and after completing 16 courses, earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading IIT in 1997. Even though all the courses were directly job-related and I had gotten her appointed to serve on the program’s board of advisers, she treated those courses as being worthless. Further, in September of 1997, she took the lead in successfully forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. She would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. She would not have done aforesaid if I had not been the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he was to the left of me, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had three, he had not taken, let alone passed, the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a licensed CPA or Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.)

— Gun Owners in Illinois Are Now Required to Register Assault Weapons. What Happens if They Don’t? – Amanda Vinicky (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrats will a) publish names and addresses of AR-15-style gun owners who have not registered and b) demand that States Attorneys arrest and charge those owners. What is your State’s Attorney’s position on this? In 1978, IRS officially stated that it audited my education deductions because of requests from readers of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me that painted my deductions as being improper.)
https://news.wttw.com/2023/11/07/gun-owners-illinois-are-now-required-register-assault-weapons-what-happens-if-they-don-t
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The law itself is specific about the penalties that could face gun owners who fail to file affidavits. Failure to file an endorsement affidavit is a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense. A second, or subsequent, violation of the registration requirement would be classified a Class 3 felony. As ISP puts it an FAQ web page, “persons who violate the endorsement affidavit requirements may be arrested and charged.” Note the “may.” In response to Halbrook’s question, ISP’s Suzanne Bond said that “it will be up to each individual state’s attorney in the 102 counties to decide how they will enforce that.” If a state’s attorney declines to prosecute, there may be no charges filed, no conviction, no penalty; if a state’s attorney decides to pursue charges, a gun owner could face prison time.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/opinion/columnists/united-states-right-social-change.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Across six battleground states, Trump leads President Biden 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters. In the crucial swing states that Biden won last time, Trump is ahead in five — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — while Biden leads only in Wisconsin. Biden is losing support from young voters, Hispanic voters, Black voters — constituencies Democrats have depended on for decades to overcome the longstanding Republican advantage among whites. Women voters favor Biden by eight percentage points, 50 percent to 42 percent, but men favor Trump by a far wider 18-point spread: 55 percent to 37 percent. (I guess that’s another definition for the term “manspreading.”) On the economy, voters prefer Trump over Biden by a 22-point margin. And a whopping 71 percent think Biden is too old to be president, as opposed to just 39 percent for Trump. – Gail Collins and Bret Stephens

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— The CPA Exam: How to prepare for new 2024 requirements (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass it on their first attempt. I had been an IRS employee for almost 8 years. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I took the Becker CPA Review. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious because none of my coworkers who they had promoted over me had taken the examination, let alone passed it on their first attempt. All of those who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, and/or had less IRS work experience than I had. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— How to win with a wealth management strategy – Jane Adler (COMMENT: My wife and I got married in 1978. She had worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions of the previous 8 years. We always made saving for our retirement a top priority. We always put the maximums allowed into tax-deferred retirement accounts. We always tried to limit our spending to just one of our paychecks. However, I saved far less for my retirement a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, d) because they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14, e) because they always ranked me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) because they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— ‘DINK’—double income, no kids—couples say being child-free makes them richer and more successful, even if it means putting up with judgement – ELEANOR PRINGLE (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that not only that we never wanted children and that we never tried to have children, but that I lied about trying to have children. They did that even though they had full access to my medical records and they knew all about my many insurance claims for fertility treatments including surgery at Central DuPage Hospital. To punish me because I had requested and gotten assignments to local audits while we were trying to have children, they threw me off audits of IRS in 1989 and assigned me to a 6-month out-of-state audit. All of them were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had adopted, and/or complained about the high cost of raising children. All of them were beyond furious that my wife had a good job and that we went on vacations after her four business trips each year to luxury resorts across America.)

The plan to create a national online college is a political nonstarter, experts say, but it capitalizes on concerns about price and politics in higher education. – Katherine Knott (COMMENT: I avoided woke-indoctrination while I earned four college degrees (NIU-1970, Loyola-1976, DePaul-1980, and IIT-1997) because I majored in business, accounting, and finance.)

MARIJUANA MOMENT
— Congressman Behind Amendments To End Marijuana Testing For Federal Job Applicants Explains Why He Keeps Fighting Amid GOP Opposition – Kyle Jaege (COMMENT: I have never used an illegal drug and I never will.

POLITICO
— Anti-Defamation League director: 388 percent increase in antisemitism – ANDREW HOWARD (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. Democrats have always blamed Republicans for antisemitism, and they have always especially blamed Republicans like me who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American. Because I am all of the aforesaid, and because I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and have lived in Wheaton since 1978, my Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in painting me as being antisemitic. They had great success in encouraging/forcing my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me.)
