ALTON TELEGRAPH
— What facts would Democrats stress about you to argue that you should pay reparations? They would stress about me that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), conservative, Republican, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, none of my ancestors owned slaves or fought for the Confederacy, they always lived in northeast Illinois, and they never had clout.

Those adverse actions included my Democrats GAO superiors a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) never promoting me to GS-14 and delaying my promotions to GS-13, GS-12, and GS-11, d) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) forcing me to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They included my Democrat IRS superiors a) never promoting me to GS-13, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974.

TOWNHALL
— I should write a book about the biggest past and present RINOs in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those RINOs who reject most if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those RINOs who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those RINOs a) who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting on the recent DeSantis Elmhurst event, b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) who ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) who jerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) who ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, f) who ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) who ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) who ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007, i) who almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) who ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) who ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. I would focus on those RINOs who falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican to give themselves standing to destroy conservative Republicans like me. I would focus on those RINOs on ballots in my precinct who I have mistakenly done the most to help elect and to help reelect since 2000.

https://wcfcourier.com/opinion/letters/nation-is-under-attack-through-fentanyl/article_2c455340-1c71-11ee-90ab-0faa1a7ae780.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Illegal fentanyl is manufactured in China, shipped to Jalisco and Sinaloan cartels in Mexico. It is then shipped to our U.S. addicts and many will die of overdose. Fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than morphine and most addicts do not have a medical degree to get the right dose. Fentanyl overdoses have killed more than car accidents, gun violence, breast cancer, and suicide per year. We as a nation are under attack. We elect politicians to provide for our common defense, and they are doing a poor job of it. With the help of drugs and guns we are killing Americans quicker than new ones are born. China and other of our enemies find this easier than fighting our military. “Ask what you can do for your country, and do it now while you have time.”)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrats ask “After Supreme Court Ruling, Can the Essay Get You In?” and say “It may help to identify minority students, but experts caution against expecting essays to replace affirmative action.” I specially stated in my 1972 Loyola graduate business college application and in my 1976 DePaul graduate accounting college application that I wanted to take the courses to maintain and improve my job skills as an IRS employee. But my Democrat IRS superiors not only ignored that to disallow those courses, they outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied in those applications and that I took those courses to get a job in the private sector.
