POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois Democrats didn’t just revise the first draft of their congressional map, they offered up a brand new one that pits Democratic Reps.

Newman, who would compete against him in the newly created district, has 39 percent of her current 3rd District. – Shia Kapos

FOX BUSINESS
— Millions of workers stay home to watch young children as day cares struggle
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always used the fact that my father earned enough money that my mother could stay home and raise my brother and me to paint my outstanding parents as being filthy rich. My father almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother was raised on a farm and never attended high school.)

(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have cancelled me because I included links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to articles they do not like. I would focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.

— What Good is a Republican Victory? A congressional takeover devoted to legacy GOP policies won’t fix anything that needs fixing. Patriotic Americans and Trump supporters need to keep the Republican Party at arm’s length. – Christopher Roach
(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republican candidates reject, the more discouraged that conservatives are to help elect those candidates. But wait, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, more and more and more Republican candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that they are “moderate,” that is, that they reject many planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican.)

— Journalists Fret as Hong Kong Civil Society Buckles – Austin Ramzy
(COMMENT: In Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, conservative-hating RINOs, their operatives, and their dupes can crow about their a) success in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks and b) harming the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. So far, conservative-hating RINOs have not been able to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/world/asia/hong-kong-civil-society.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unions have folded. Political parties have shut down. Independent media outlets and civil rights groups have disappeared. The Hong Kong government, its authority backed fully by Beijing, is shutting down the city’s civil society, once the most vibrant in Asia, one organization at a time. But one group, the Hong Kong Journalists Association, has refused to fold, even as Hong Kong’s security secretary repeatedly singles it out for public criticism. “We will try to fight to the last moment,” said Ronson Chan, the association’s chairman. “But honestly, it’s a gamble. How cruelly will the Beijing government treat us? We know the history of journalists in the People’s Republic of China.” The authorities have used a national security law, which was introduced last year after months of widespread antigovernment protest, to silence dissent. Dozens of groups have been forced to disband.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— News media protects Biden once again – Jennifer Harper
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents not only demand that I protect them, they demand that I a) glorify and praise them, b) pander to them, c) serve as one of their operatives or dupes, and/or d) give them money. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, and campaign volunteers. I would focus Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District. I would focus on leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on those who focus on a) stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those who succeeded in stopping me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks. I would focus on those who I have sued.)

(COMMENT: RINOs a) reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform and b) promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. RINOs are overjoyed that my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old because I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about the biggest RINOs in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)

(COMMENT: How soon, if not already, will the following have Chief Diversity Officers: your employer if you are still employed, the organizations that you are a member of, and the governments that you are under?)
https://www.heritage.org/education/report/equity-elementary-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-staff-public-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An analysis of student test-score data shows that employing a chief diversity officer (CDO) in K–12 school districts does not contribute to closing achievement gaps and is even likely to exacerbate those gaps. If CDOs are not accomplishing their stated goals, what is accomplished by creating these positions? CDOs may be best understood as political activists who articulate and enforce an ideological orthodoxy within school districts. They help to mobilize and strengthen the political influence of one side. The creation of CDOs tilts the political playing field against parent and teacher efforts to remove the radical ideology of critical race theory and other illiberal ideals from school curricula and practices.)

PRESS HERALD
— COMMENT: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, the Republican Party lets those who reject some, most, if not all of its platform, that is, it lets Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs a) serve as Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, b) hold leadership positions in Republican township/ward/county/state organizations, and c) run for government offices. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) stop me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, c) end my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, d) end my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, e) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, f) try to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and g) end my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)

— Federal retirees to see record high cost-of-living increase for Social Security – Jessie Bur (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension the most. My CSRS pension a) is only 41% of what my GAO salary was 49 years old in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1972 in today’s dollars.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The change affects the COLA for both Social Security recipients and federal retirees under the Civil Service Retirement System, which is only available to feds that started their federal employment before 1987.)

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— Illinois CPA Society seeks minority interns – Sean McCabe (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)
