Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, all anyone in the world needs to do to come into America “legally” or to stay in America “legally” is to claim asylum. The Democrat news media ever-increasingly a) paints asylum seekers as being GOD-like and b) paints the Republican battle against illegal immigration as being lost forever. That is, that soon, if not already, Democrat leaders will have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever win an election again and RINO leaders will have all the cheap labor that they can use. Anticipate/expect that if Democrat and RINO leaders conclude that it is necessary, they will ever-increasingly move illegals to battleground/swing states so that they can vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats on the ballot.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: With deadline looming, is public pension funding heading in the right direction? – Jake Griffin (COMMENT: Are you earning credits toward a pension? Are you getting a pension? I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I became eligible to take early retirement in when I was 45 in 1993. I have been getting a COLA-adjusted CSRS pension (currently $65,160/year) since I was 49 in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about the aforesaid. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years (1980-1997), for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), and for the Post Office for almost 3 years (1966-1969). I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (Loyola-business), 1980 (DePaul-accounting), and 1997 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting). I earned a job-related profession license (CPA) in 1981. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I might still be paying 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS instead of drawing a pension from it.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Only 3.4% of U.S. journalists are Republicans – Kerry Picket (COMMENT: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have been a member of that 3.4% since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, you cannot be both a journalist and a Republican.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/30/only-34-us-journalists-are-republicans-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose. According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022. That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll. Democrats in the news industry saw their ranks swell by eight percentage points in 2022 to 36%. The number is nine percentage points higher than the overall Democrat population of 27%, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll. The new survey notes that the figure is the third-highest percentage of journalists identifying as Democrats since 1971. The study included other findings that covered various topics in the journalism workplace, including educational levels, workplace satisfaction, shrinking newsrooms, median ages of reporters, women, minorities, sought-after training and social media. According to the survey, 22% of the respondents said journalism in the U.S. was headed in the right direction, while 60.1% said otherwise. Similar numbers of respondents said the same a decade ago. When asked about the “most important problem facing journalism today,” the journalists mentioned these issues most often: declining public trust in the news media, shrinking local and community news coverage, perceived bias and opinion journalism, fake news and disrupted business models. This survey resumes the series of national studies of U.S. journalists launched in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone. It continued in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2013 by David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit and their colleagues at Indiana University. The new study was based on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists and conducted in early 2022.)

PHYLLIS PCHLAFLY
— The Repackaged Attack On Motherhood – Ed Martin
https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/family/the-repackaged-attack-on-motherhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barbie phenomenon is joined by the female pop star Taylor Swift, whose record-setting concert tour caused an unprecedented meltdown at Ticketmaster. Now the film version has broken the box office record for a concert movie, drawing mostly young women to theaters where they dance on chairs and sing off-key rather than merely watching. Taylor Swift, herself childless and nearly 34 years old, was asked when she turned 30 whether she wants to have children. She curtly replied, “I don’t really think men are asked that question when they turn 30, so I’m not going to answer that now.” For the most part, Swifties have not been attending these concerts on dates with young men. An estimated 90% of these concert fans are women, an imbalance so severe that it has caused havoc with the availability of restrooms at performance venues. The messaging from the media couldn’t be any clearer. They are telling our young women that the path to happiness requires childlessness. This messaging isn’t new. Phyllis Schlafly was exposing these false promises all the way back when Betty Friedan was calling the home a “comfortable concentration camp” back in the 1960s. However, the new packaging on the same old lie shouldn’t be ignored today. We must help our daughters to see that for the vast majority of women, true and lasting fulfillment will be found in marriage and motherhood.)

— You’re never too old to pivot in your career. – Ashton Jackson (COMMENT: Have you pivoted in your career? I did when I was 31 in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. But I soon found out that my Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being far too old to have a successful GAO career. To make that happen, they forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer and they ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the fact that I a) had worked 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) had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) had become a licensed CPA in 1981, g) had become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, 12, and 13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer, who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote 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. They never would have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

Consequently, I got virtually no help to go to college.)

When I was young, applicants were needed for the following jobs: doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies. What jobs do illegals want? What jobs are they qualified to take? What jobs will be offered to them? What jobs will they take? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I took were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. If offered the bad jobs that I took, will illegals take them or refuse to stoop to take them?)

In 1997, in today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $142,650/year. In my defense, a) I earned a job-related professional license (CPA-1981), b) I earned six job-related professional certifications (forensic accounting-1997, financial services auditing-1996, government financial management-1994, fraud examination-1990, internal auditing-1981, and accounting-1979), and c) I earned three job-related graduate degrees (IIT-finance-1997, DePaul-accounting-1980, and Loyola-business-1976) and a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-management-1970).)

GAO
— GAO’s mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, its mission was fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse. What is/were the missions of your employers? The importance of GAO’s mission helped me endure tremendous efforts by my Democrat GAO superiors to waste my career and to get rid of me. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31. They gave me bad/unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 when I was 49. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Kane County Republican Party leadership issued a statement Saturday regarding the drop-off of 38 migrants on a bus sent from Texas on Dec. 21 at the Elburn Metra train station. The incident has been mirrored in other Chicago suburbs recently after the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance on Dec. 13 prohibiting buses from arriving and dropping people off in the city with no prior notice. “… Kane County witnessed yet another incident where busloads of migrants were callously dumped here from the U.S. border without prior warning or care for their well-being,” the statement said. “This is not an act of compassion but a systematic failure resulting in a criminal operation.” Signed by the Andro Lerario, chairman of the Kane County Republican Central Committee, the statement added, “This issue is no longer confined to the distant border; it’s happening right here in our neighborhoods.”)

— Thousands join Christmas Eve migrant caravan – the biggest in more than a year – as it treks through Mexico and towards the U.S. border just days before Blinken arrives in the capital to hammer out new agreement to stem surge. Up to 10,000 people set out from the Guatemalan border on the long journey north in record migrant caravan as Mexican security forces look on. Comes as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is hauled off Middle East duties for a crisis migrant summit with Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador. An all-time record of 12,600 crossings were detected on Monday with the total figure for 2023 expected to top 2 million. – DOMINIC YEATMAN

WGN RADIO
— The importance of putting together a budget – Ashley Bihun (COMMENT: When I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Treasurer office in 2004, I had served as the Treasurer for the a) Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter for 3 years, b) American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter for 3 years, and c) Illinois Center Right Coalition for 2 years. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and I had become a licensed CPA. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years. I stressed to MTRO members that budgeting was a very important planning exercise. I stressed that I would draft a budget for MTRO each year, get the other MTRO officers to approve a draft budget, get the MTRO membership to approve a budget, and get MTRO to follow that budget. But my opponent for that MTRO Treasurer office, his operatives, and his dupes, including two CPAs, not only viciously attacked budgeting, they viciously attacked me personally. Just before the vote, they demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as not being a team player and that I irritate everyone around me. My opponent got 69 votes and I got only 13 votes. Since 2002, MTRO has punished me for Jim Ryan’s losing to Blagojevich because I supported Patrick O’Malley in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Since 2004, MTRO has punished me for my not covering up the wrongdoing of a MTRO officer and for Andrew McKenna losing the Republican U.S. Senate primary because I allegedly rigged a major MTRO straw poll. Since 2006, MTRO has punished me for Judy Baar Topinka’s losing to Blagojevich. MTRO continues to punish me for the aforesaid.)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my younger Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office, and that is exactly what they did.)

My Democrat GAO superiors knew that I could “afford” to suffer the loss of income a) because of my wife’s income, b) because we had no children, c) because of our savings, d) because we had no debts, and e) because of the home and cars that we owned.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy recently placed some blame on former President Donald Trump for the current “mess” at the U.S.-Mexico border. During an interview broadcast by CNN on Tuesday, Roy spoke about Trump refusing to attend the string of Republican primary debates and praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Less than 24 hours after being cleared from the Chicago police 12th District, migrants were seen outside the district again on Saturday. WGN-TV learned that bus companies are going out of their way to avoid a new city ordinance by dropping migrants off outside city limits. Over two dozen migrants lined the windows of the Chicago police 12th district on Saturday evening, wrapped in blankets as they tried to stay dry from the rain. WGN-TV spoke with Juevencio Zerpa, who said some migrants were being turned away from shelters and had nowhere to sleep. Chicago’s latest census report showed that there were no migrants waiting for placement inside any police districts. The CPD 12th district was the last station cleared of asylum seekers on Friday night, but they returned less than 24 hours later. It all comes as the City of Chicago works to enforce stricter penalties regarding the handling of the migrant crisis. Under a new ordinance, bus companies dropping off new arrivals now have to go to a designated landing zone with a permit. Buses that don’t follow the ordinance could be towed or impounded. City officials confirmed that bus companies are now trying to avoid fines and penalties by dropping off migrants outside city limits. Going as far as purchasing bus and train tickets for them so they can get into the city on their own. Migrants waiting outside the 12th district on Saturday evening eventually boarded a bus that offered them shelter during the cold and rain. City officials say there is no longer any communication from border cities to coordinate the incoming buses. According to the city, a group of new arrivals was dropped off by a bus from Texas at the University Park Metra stop on Saturday night. The city said the new arrivals made their way downtown where some were picked up by authorities and taken to a shelter and others were taken to a nearby police district where they would be able to wait on a bus being used as a warming station. WGN-TV reached out to Chicago police about the migrants seeking shelter. CPD referred WGN to the Office of Emergency Management for comment and has not yet heard back.)

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/12/18/exclusive-phone-calls-and-social-media-posts-drive-record-high-illegal-immigration-top-border-patrol-officials-report/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The modern flow of information is driving illegal immigration, according to multiple Border Patrol sector chiefs. If released into the interior of the U.S., some illegal aliens allegedly share their success on social media, or call home and encourage family or friends to cross the border and join them in America, furthering a cycle of illegal border crossings. Illegal aliens cross into the “Del Rio Sector in large part because of the message that is transmitted among the migrant population,” Jason Owens told staff members of the House Homeland Security Committee during an interview in May and shared with The Daily Signal Thursday. Owens, who has since been promoted to Border Patrol chief, was serving as chief patrol agent of the Del Rio Sector at the time of the interview with House Homeland Security staff. “When you have folks that make the trip and they come across, they’re in communication with the folks that are back in their home country or their families who may also be thinking about making that journey,” Owens said. “And if they perceive it to be safer or more expedient, they give recommendations, and they do that by phone, they do that on social media outlets.” The Del Rio Sector in Texas is one of nine border sectors along America’s border with Mexico, and tends to be one of the higher trafficked areas of the border. In fiscal year 2023, which ended Sept. 30, Customs and Border Protection encountered 393,226 illegal aliens in the Del Rio Sector. “I believe that the migrants communicate the entirety of their experience to their friends and family back home, and that would include what their experience was with whatever processing pathway they were put into,” Owens said. The “processing pathways” Owens references include the Biden administration’s “lawful pathways,” which have allowed for the release of illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. In October, the House Judiciary Committee released findings that at least 3.8 million illegal aliens either have been released into the nation’s interior or successfully evaded the Border Patrol to enter the country since President Joe Biden took office Jan. 20, 2021. Owens’ observations regarding the communication flow between migrants is not unique to the Del Rio Sector, according to comments made by other sector chiefs during a series of interviews with House Homeland Security staffers conducted between the beginning of May and end of September. When asked what factors draw migrants to cross the border into the U.S., Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez said, “It would be families that are already in the United States pulling their relatives, you know, encouraging their relatives to come out.” Other pull factors include “companies or organizations that are hiring these individuals in the United States that others have told them, ‘Hey, you can get a job here,’ type thing. I think it’s the feedback that people that are here already provide them to encourage them to come,” Chavez said. During an interview with Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Joel Martinez, a Homeland Security staffer asked whether illegal aliens would still come to the U.S. even after being informed that the journey was hard and long if they knew they would be released into the U.S. “Yes,” Martinez answered. “How else do they find out about information?” the staffer pressed. “It’s not just the cartel, right? Family that’s already come, do they call back?” “Yes,” the agent said. “And some people … wait in Mexico to see if the people they were with are successful before they cross?” “Yes,” he said. “Do you think that that has a large influence on whether a person decides to cross into the United States?” the Homeland Security staff member asked. “Yes,” Martinez responded. The widespread use of social media has also made it easy for migrants and “smuggling outfits” to use platforms like TikTok to share how and where to cross the border illegally, Yuma Sector Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle said during his interview with representatives from the House Homeland Security Committee. TikTok videos show migrant’s “firsthand accounts of which trails to take, where the border wall ended, which gap to exploit, you know, where to stay, all of those things,” Caudle said. The information dissemination has changed the patterns of illegal immigration, according to El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Good and Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin. If an illegal alien is released from Customs and Border Protection, Good says, “then that person that was released will get on social media and say, ‘Hey, look at me, I’ve been released.’ And then that creates a draw specifically to that area,” he said. “So, if it happens in El Paso and they post that on social media, that will create a draw to El Paso, same for any other sector.” Modlin told Homeland Security Committee staff members that when he started his career, “immigration flows took months to change, and now it seemingly can change overnight because people are livestreaming themselves crossing the border. They’re sending it back to—their families are seeing it. People in the area they come from see it.” The Tucson Sector chief added that “there’s not the air of mystery to the border that there used to be, because people can leave their country and then, however long it takes them, a couple weeks to get here, and then they’re inside the United States, and then they’re in Kansas City, or they’re wherever their destination is, they’re there and they’re in communication with their families.” CBP encountered a record 2.4 million illegal aliens at the southern border in fiscal year 2023, and over 6.6 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the U.S. border with Mexico since the start of the Biden administration.)

— Florida GOP Chair Censured After Sexual Assault Allegation. Christian Ziegler to lose salary and duties. His wife, Bridget, a founder of Moms for Liberty, has faced calls to resign from school board. – Matt Barnum (COMMENT: I should sue all those who tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 annual convention for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/florida-gop-chair-censured-after-sexual-assaultallegation-27434347
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler was accused in October of sexual assault involving a woman who said that she had been part of a three-way relationship with him and his wife, a well-known Florida Republican who supported the state’s law restricting discussion of sexual orientation in schools. “Christian Ziegler has engaged in conduct that renders him unfit for the office of Chairman,” read a motion that was unanimously passed by the Republican Party of Florida Executive Committee. “Ziegler has not been forthright and honest.” Ziegler wasn’t removed from office, but his authority as chairman was suspended and his salary was effectively eliminated, reduced to just $1. The party also called a special meeting for January in which the full state committee will consider removing Ziegler from his position. Ziegler hasn’t been charged with a crime and has previously denied the allegation. According to a search warrant originally obtained by the Florida Center for Government Accountability, detectives spoke to Ziegler in November and he said that the encounter with the alleged victim had been consensual. Efforts to reach him Sunday afternoon weren’t successful. His lawyer previously told several media outlets, “We are confident that once the police investigation is concluded that no charges will be filed, and Mr. Ziegler will be completely exonerated.” His wife, Bridget Ziegler, has also been caught up in the controversy, although there is no allegation of wrongdoing against her. She helped found the conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, and is a member of the Sarasota County School Board and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.)

— The Myth of the Unemployed College Grad. – Kevin Carey (COMMENT: What frustrated your search for a job when you earned your bachelor’s degree? When I earned a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU in 1970 when I was 21, my job search was frustrated by my being viewed as being draft bait. Potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got – Retail Sales Manager for the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. But in early 1971, I accepted an job offer from Oldsmobile to serve as a liaison between its factories and dealers because my Firestone job did not really require a bachelor’s degree, because advancement seemed far too slow, and because my boss had me a) pumping gasoline, b) installing tires, batteries, etc., c) changing oil and filters, d) delivering major appliances, e) cleaning the store’s showroom, etc. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for accepting that offer, I accepted an offer from IRS for a job that did require a bachelor’s degree in business. IRS offered me that job because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.)

— Why more women live in major East Coast counties while men outnumber them in the West – AP (COMMENT: What makes a man “quality?” How much of it is health, handsomeness, height, personality, values, religion, national origin, education, occupation, income, net worth, possessions, professional certifications and licenses, etc.? I got married when I was 29. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30, earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. However, I had earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21. I had bought condos when I was 27 and 25 and a new town home when I was 24. I had owned a 1972 Corvette since I was 23. I had gotten promoted to GS-12 ($92,279/year in today’s dollars) when I was 25. My wife had worked for the FBI. She had helped elect Big Jim Thompson. She is Catholic and I am Missouri Synod Lutheran. We met a Presbyterian singles event.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s really tough to find quality men who share similar values,” Averbach said. There aren’t many singles groups that cater to her age group, she says, and when such groups put on events, they usually attract more women than men. Her county has a low sex ratio, which means there are more women than men. A high ratio indicates there are more men than women.)

— ‘Misinformation’ service NewsGuard targeted in defense bill – Bill Gertz (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters are full of misinformation. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/13/inside-ring-misinformation-service-newsguard-targe/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2024 defense authorization bill now in its final stages on Capitol Hill contains a provision that would restrict the Pentagon from spending money on an advertising agency that relies on the self-described “counter-misinformation” group NewsGuard, a blow to the left-leaning organization that critics say unfairly targets conservative media. The restriction in the proposed annual National Defense Authorization Act recently survived a House-Senate conference. The final bill is being taken up by both chambers this week. The provision calls on the defense secretary to ensure all ad agencies that contract with the Defense Department do not “place advertisements in news sources based on personal or institutional political preferences or biases, or determinations of misinformation.” The section also requires that the defense secretary and military service secretaries notify Congress whenever an ad agency employs NewsGuard, a similar British-based group called the Global Disinformation Index, or similar services. The provision is a response by several House Republicans who have said that self-appointed anti-misinformation watchdog groups are effectively being used to target conservative media outlets.)

— Israeli military veteran tapped as GOP candidate in special election to replace George Santos – Anthony Izaguirre (COMMENT: From what I see, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization ever-increasingly want candidates who do not share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2023/12/14/israeli-military-veteran-tapped-as-gop-candidate-in-special-election-to-replace-george-santos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans have picked a little-known county lawmaker who once served in the Israeli military as their candidate in a special election to replace ousted New York congressman George Santos, party officials said Thursday. Nassau County legislator and former Israeli paratrooper Mazi Pilip will face off against Democratic former congressman Tom Suozzi in a Feb. 13 special election for the seat, which includes northern parts of Queens and Long Island. The selection pits Pilip, a relatively unknown local lawmaker originally from Ethiopia, against a political veteran in Suozzi, who previously represented the district for six years during a lengthy career in Long Island politics.)

— Ever-increasingly, younger employees want older employees to retire. In 1993 when I was a 45-year-old GAO employee, because I had 25 years of federal seniority, I became eligible to take GAO’s early retirement “offer.” In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors with the blessing of my Democrat GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates succeeded in forcing me to take their “offer” which expired that year. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/careers/2023/12/14/older-workers-jobs-pew-research-study/71898652007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a major demographic shift, the older workforce – some 11 million Americans – has quadrupled in size since the mid-1980s, driven by the graying of the U.S. population. The share of older Americans holding a job is also much greater. Roughly 1 in 5 Americans ages 65 and older (19%) are employed today – nearly double the share of those who were working 35 years ago, according to new data from the Pew Research Center.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: City Council sides with mayor on Chicago police contract: More money for cops but disciplinary provision rebuffed – Sam Charles, A.D. Quig and Alice Yin (COMMENT: I have been an arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( https://www.finra.org/arbitration-mediation ) since 1998.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-city-council-vote-fop-contract-arbitration-20231213-fka2txhzyba5lnth6ux5cbiwj4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-17 vote defeating the arbitration clause nixes a major part of a deal announced less than two months ago as a major political win by Johnson’s administration with the union representing most of Chicago’s police force. The council’s rejection, and its reasoning for it, will now head back to arbitrator Edwin Benn, who earlier this year voted for the arbitration clause and could send that same ruling back to aldermen within weeks. The battle could ultimately end up in circuit court. In an unusual move at Johnson’s request, the arbitration matter was voted on separately from the rest of the contract, including raises for rank-and-file officers totaling 20% over four years that was approved by the full council with no debate.)
— Be very afraid for Chicago’s stellar selective-enrollment schools – Editorial (COMMENT: How successful were you in high school?

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would stress their parents’ education and wealth.)

— DuPage County District 4 Republican voters anxiously await the DuPage County Republican Central Committee to fill the DuPage County District 4 Board vacancy on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-05-26-0005260258-story.html
(FROM THE May 26, 2000 ARTICLE: Monday was the statutory deadline for established political parties to fill vacancies on the November ballot where no candidate sought the nomination in the March primaries. In addition to the two County Board candidates and two countywide candidates picked for the ballot a few weeks ago by the DuPage Democratic organization, the party has added Richard Hass of Elmhurst to run in County Board District 2 in east central DuPage. Also added to the ballot recently were investment consultant Thomas Mason of Downers Grove, who will challenge U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) in the 13th Congressional District, and Stephanie Downs Hughes of Naperville, who was picked by Kane and DuPage Democrats to oppose state Sen. Chris Lauzen (R-Aurora) in the 21st Senate District. As of Thursday, however, DuPage Democrats still were researching why the DuPage County Election Commission reached a conclusion Monday that appears to disqualify two of the party’s appointed nominees from having their names on the November ballot. According to a member of the party’s candidate search committee, organization Chairman James Walsh was notified this week that the unsuccessful attempts in March by Democrats Vernon Carter of Bartlett and Christina Beaird of Naperville to win write-in campaigns for circuit clerk and County Board disqualifies them from being appointed to fill the ballot vacancies. Carter was picked to run for circuit clerk and Beaird was selected to run for the County Board in District 5. They tried to win the Democratic nomination for those posts by mounting write-in campaigns but failed to receive enough votes. If Carter is disqualified from being appointed to the ballot, Fitzpatrick will be the only Democrat seeking countywide office in DuPage.)

ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH
— New ‘vetting manual’ by Missouri GOP activists sparks conflict among state Republicans – Jack Suntrup (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs are involved in Republican politics to get the party to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.)
https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/new-vetting-manual-by-missouri-gop-activists-sparks-conflict-among-state-republicans/article_0006fb3a-99c6-11ee-a689-b34e2196d437.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “vetting manual” being floated in GOP circles has sparked conflict, in part because it seeks to block certain candidates from running as Republicans. The state party has warned the document would invite litigation. Efforts to institute the vetting plan are still playing out, and only a handful of county parties have adopted the system, according to a state party official. The movement bears similarities to the ongoing struggle between hard-line and main-line Republicans in the state Legislature, a conflict that is coming into focus as the Aug. 6 GOP primary approaches.)

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
— Chicago Booth launches new Master in Finance Program. Degree will help recent college graduates jump-start their careers in the rapidly advancing field. (COMMENT: I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 when I was 43, and after I completing 14 courses, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I did that a) because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear to me that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and b) because my University of Chicago MBA-holding GAO supervisor had made it clear to her employees that she wanted/demanded her employees to have such degrees. I succeed in getting her appointed to the program’s advisory committee. But in September of 1997, she flushed all that down her toilet. She played a very big role in forcing me to take GAO’s agency-wide early retirement “offer” that was expiring at the end of that month so that she could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. And that is exactly what she did. She ignored, dismissed, and belittled a) the fact that I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $$109,732-$142,650/year, and the last 8 years of which working for her, b) the fact that I had become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Frad Examiner in 1990, c) the fact that I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) the fact that I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) the fact that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, they promoted a) their forcing me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) their keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) their delaying my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoting me to GS-14, d) their always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, and e) their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 and giving my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.

My critics/opponents have absolutely no problem with what my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors did to me, in fact, they applaud it.

While I worked for GAO, Republicans slashed GAO’s workforce by 3,000, from over 6,000 to under 3,000. My Democrat GAO superiors punished me viciously for that. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoting me to GS-14. They always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me because I complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, and age discrimination. Starting in 1988, they took more adverse actions against me because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and up-or-out. I should write a book about that.)

I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat GAO superiors ignored, dismissed, and belittled the aforesaid. They wasted my GAO career. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. GAO was headed 1981-1996 by a veteran who had not taken the CPA examination, let alone passed it, let alone became a licensed CPA.)

— Precinct Coverage Shows Weakening of the Republican Party, While Democrats Higher, But Not Back to 2018 Level
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/12/12/precinct-coverage-shows-weakening-of-the-republican-party-while-democrats-in-ascendance/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Both 2020 and 2024 are Presidential election years. Presidential years have higher voter turnouts than non-presidential years. One would expect that party activism would be similar. Four years ago, there were 76 precincts in which Republicans were running for Precinct Committeeman. For next year, there are only 61 for Precinct Committeeperson (the Dems changed the name). That indicates a weakening of the McHenry County Republican Party. Democrats had 55 precincts covered four years ago versus 66 this time around.)

In my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

Economically prosperous, politically stable and more welcoming to immigrants than most other countries, the Germans — many thought — had really learned their lesson.

In my defense, I stress that I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, I earned a job-related master’s degree in 1976, I earned a job-related professional certification in 1979, and I earned a second job-related master’s degree in 1980.)

— Career Success – Terina Allen (COMMENT: What do you attribute your career success to? I attribute my career success a) to my working hard, b) to my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) to my earning six job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and d) to my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. In 1980, in today’s dollars, my salary was $104,583/year and in 1997 it was $142,650/year. But according to my critics/opponents, I owe my career success to my benefitting from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, veterans, parents, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that.)

MBA WATCH
— A Chicago Booth MBA Shares His Journey To B-School And Important Tips For Applicants (COMMENT: In 1972, when I was a 22-year-old newly hired IRS employee, I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola because that was what my employee manual encouraged me to do. After completing 16 courses, I earned an MBA in 1976. In 1976, I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul because that was what my employee manual encouraged me to do. After completing 12 courses, I earned a master’s degree in accounting. My doing the aforesaid helped me get promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and it helped me pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear to me that they would never promote me again in 1974, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, got rid of the manager who had promoted me in 1975, and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. Because of the aforesaid, I took a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During the application process, were you also working full-time? What did that look like and how were you able to balance it all?
Michael: I was working a full-time consulting job at the same time that I was going through the application process. One of the biggest factors in balancing the workload was communication with my managers at the firm. I was fortunate that I had a set of outstanding leaders who supported me in the journey, so I never felt that I needed to hide the fact that I was planning on moving on from the company. A second factor was having a consistent regiment for studying for the GMAT and finishing applications. I set targets for when I would take the test, planned out when I would apply to schools, and set up contingencies to fall back on if things went well or didn’t go well – I’m a planner, so it made me feel more comfortable to map it out!)
