Carol Stream CCSD 93 is currently 4-3 Republican. It has six seats up– the most in DuPage County. But all nine candidates running to fill them are Democrats. Of the 168 current school board slots in the 24 competitive districts, 107 are held by Democrats, 52 by Republicans and nine by an independent.)

— There could be many violent reactions to transgenderism’s collapse – David Freddoso
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/there-could-be-many-violent-reactions-to-transgenderisms-collapse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message of transgenderism is that a man can become a woman (or vice versa) simply by force of will or perhaps by putting on certain effeminate affectations or having certain surgeries. This message — so long as it is not forced on children — is harmful but not violent per se. The violence comes as a result of the one and only persuasive argument for transgenderism, which runs roughly as follows: “If you don’t agree with me about this, then I’m going to kill myself.” If you have been courageous enough to debate this issue at all, then you have encountered this “argument.” Perhaps it is not your interlocutor personally threatening suicide, but rather making the threat on behalf of millions of youth who will supposedly (no evidence for this, but fine) kill themselves unless they are immediately affirmed in what are probably just fleeting gender confusions through irreversible surgical and hormone treatments. So what to make of this argument? I think this is all you need to know: If a friend ever says to you in real life, “If you don’t do X, then I’ll kill myself,” please call the police immediately and get that person help. Even without a professional diagnosis, such a statement is ipso facto proof of mental illness and makes clear that the person speaking is a danger to himself and probably to others as well.)

BREITBART
— Trans Anti-Christian Video Game Attacking ‘Gender-Critical Tyrants’ Released Months Before School Attack – JOSHUA KLEIN (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote LGBTQ.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/03/29/trans-anti-christian-video-game-released-months-school-attack/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A video game featuring a transgender hero who shoots down trans critics — including priests — in order to allow players to “unleash [their] pent-up fury upon the gender-critical tyrants with an arsenal of deadly weapons” was published by a trans game developer two months before Monday’s Christian school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. Titled “Terfenstein 3D,” the game’s name is a play on the pejorative term “TERF” or “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.” According to Dictionary.com, it refers to an “advocate of radical feminism who believes that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate and who is hostile to the inclusion of trans people and gender-diverse people in the feminist movement.” The game is a spinoff of the classic Wolfenstein, the longest-running first-person shooter series, where an American Army captain protagonist battles off evil Nazis. However, in the Terfenstein version, Nazis are replaced with enemies such as religious clergy and transgenderism critics who are to be hunted and killed. A trailer for the game released in advance appears to show the main character gunning down unarmed priests. The game was released in mid-January this year by trans game developer Sandra Moen and is available on the Steam video game digital distribution service. According to the developer’s description on the site, the game entails “escaping a gender-fascist concentration camp.” “Unleash your pent-up fury upon the gender-critical tyrants with an arsenal of deadly weapons and tactics in cathartic bliss,” it reads. It further states: “The game offers LGBTQAI+, transgender, and feminist themes of gender-critical people and what a post-war apocalyptic world would look like if gender fascists won. In this dystopian world, fascists have killed and imprisoned all transgender and queer people, subjecting them to harsh conversion therapy, imprisonment, and death. You play as an escapee fleeing their detention center, while you exact your revenge. This game brings to light the very real transphobic violence many transgender people face for just existing. And draw a comparison between gender critics and nazi Germany.” It also claims that the ability to “artistically express yourself is a proven way to heal trauma and possibly also move on.” Only nine days prior to the attack, Moen appeared delighted that the game was gaining positive momentum. “How fun! recent reviews have gone from ‘mixed’ to ‘mostly positive,’” Moen wrote alongside a smiley face. “Want to contribute to the trans community by supporting a trans game developer? AND KILL fascist TERF’s?” Moen wrote last month. “Try my game ‘Terfenstein 3D.’” Later, Moen called the game a “call to action,” having previously explained that “TERF’s are not the only fascists you have to endure when you’re transgender.” The transgender movement has been accused of pushing hostile and apocalyptic rhetoric leading up to the deadly shooting of a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, which left six dead, including three nine-year-old children. The shooter was later revealed to be Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender. Several notable tweets appear to show gun-toting transgender activists threatening critics. “[I]f you transphobes do try to come for me I’m taking a few of you with me,” wrote one activist. In a now-deleted tweet, another transgender individual with an AR-15 and a handgun is pictured along with the words “Kill christcucks. Behead christcucks” and “crucify filthy christcucks” as well as “slam dunk a christcuck baby into a trashcan.” In one bizarre image, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan can be seen wearing a shirt that says “protect trans kids” alongside an illustration of a knife. Last month, left-wing radicals called for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” in Washington, DC, with the goal of stopping “trans genocide” by raising money for firearms. On Wednesday, Twitter restricted accounts of prominent conservative politicians, journalists, and activists that raised awareness over the “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Hale, who identified as a man, is the fourth transgender mass shooter in almost as many years. In 2018, Snochia Moseley, a man who identified as a woman, wounded three and killed three after opening fire at his place of employment in Aberdeen, Maryland. In 2019, a Colorado woman who identified as male shot up a school, killing one and wounding eight. Last year, a Colorado man accused of shooting up a gay nightclub, killing five and wounding 18, identified as transsexual. Noting the pattern, political columnist Benny Johnson concluded: “One thing is VERY clear: the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorists.”)

ASSOCIATED PRESS & ABC NEWS & MSN
— Democrats say “Twitter removes tweets about Trans Day of Vengeance.” Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Of course, the aforesaid incites violence against those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But trans activists were quick to point out that “trans day of vengeance” is a meme that has been around in the trans community for years and is not a call to violence — and said Twitter is misguided in its reasoning behind removing the tweets in support of the protest. Evan Greer, director of the nonprofit liberal advocacy group Fight for the Future, said Twitter’s actions are “the latest example of Big Tech companies employing double standards in content moderation.” “They are slow to moderate content targeting trans people, but quick to silence us when we speak out or push back. ’Trans Day of Vengeance’ is not a specific day or a call for violence. It’s a meme that’s been around for years, a way of expressing anger and frustration about oppression and violence the trans community faces daily,” Greer said. “Context is everything in content moderation, which is why content policies should be based in human rights and applied evenly, not changed rapidly based on public pressure or news cycles.” The poster in question is a largely text-based digital flyer. It reads “we want more than visibility” on top, followed by “trans day of vengeance” and “stop trans genocide” as well as the date and time of the planned protest.)

I passed the examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, but by then, because I am a White male, I was pegged as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

— Gun-toting transgender woman who has become the face of the ‘Day of Vengeance’ organized by trans activists after Nashville massacre is ‘former SOLDIER’ Kayla Denker, who has become one of the most recognizable faces of militant transgender activists, is now believed to be a former soldier.
Shortly after the Nashville school shooting, which was carried out by a transgender attacker, Denker posted a TikTok of herself loading an assault rifle.
Denker’s video comes as trans activists are preparing to gather on April 1 for a ‘Day of Vengeance’ – planned before the shooting, but continuing regardless. – HARRIET ALEXANDER

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Out-of-state PAC backing conservative school board candidates hasn’t disclosed spending.” How much money have Democrats spent so far to elect Democrat candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in your precinct?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-school-board-elections-1776-project-20230328-b65psxhg2vbspkyczhegaefwou-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Democratic Party, meanwhile, buoyed by a recent $500,000 contribution from billionaire Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s campaign fund, also is targeting voters with mailers and digital ads. But the party’s campaign fund is allowed to coordinate directly with candidates and therefore does not have to disclose its spending until the next quarterly filing deadline on April 17. If the party spends a total of $1,000 or more on any individual candidate, the candidate is required to report it as an in-kind contribution within two business days.)

— Democrats say “Rehiring retirees as a quick fix for Chicago Police could undermine reform. Throughout Chicago’s mayoral race, candidate Paul Vallas has said CPD retirees are low-hanging fruit for replenishing sworn police ranks.” My critics/opponents stress a) that employers push their employees who they want to get rid of to retire as soon as they are eligible and b) that GAO forced me to take early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old. According to my critics/opponents, GAO did that because I was a “BAD” employee and not because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination.

STATELINE
— Democrats say “Illinois considers letting non-citizens become police officers.” If there had been as many non-citizens in the Chicago area when I was young as there are now, a) S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1964 to wash dishes, b) the Park Forest Post Office would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1966 to deliver mail, c) IRS in Chicago would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1971 to collect delinquent taxes, and d) GAO in Chicago would have hired a non-citizen instead of me in 1980 to audit federal agencies. My critics/opponents cannot similarly say that non-citizens would have been hired instead of them because they did not have to take “bad jobs” like I did because their parents had far more money than my parents had. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

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. My critics/opponents have taken many big adverse actions against me a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading my newsletters. Most recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who compete directly against me and who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen

AMERICAN THINKER
— Transgenderism remains a mental illness – Don Fisher, Jr.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/03/transgenderism_remains_a_mental_illness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, the fictional notion of transitioning to the other sex is complete nonsense, and up until 2013 it was accurately categorized as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association (A.P.A.). In that year, the DSM-5 downgraded transgenderism to “gender dysphoria,” and it’s a safe bet that the Leftists who control the A.P.A. will erase it completely in their next edition, much as they did when homosexuality was eliminated from their list of mental illnesses. That slight-of-hand was accomplished not by advances in science nor medicine, but by relentless lobbying from various pro-homosexual groups and the voting body of the A.P.A. That was the first step in getting it accepted by mainstream society, and the issue of transgenderism is following a similar path. In the following days, we’ll be lectured by the usual leftists pretending to be journalists about all the evils of allowing guns in our modern society, but criticism of transgenderism will be strictly off limits. We’ll be told that this fantasy male that Audrey Hale was becoming would have been her “authentic self,” and that any torment she suffered was the fault of a repressive and bigoted society that cannot accept the amazing people who discover their need to change. No, they’ll wail, it’s not the fault of those confused few whose bodies don’t match their imaginations, but rather it’s caused by everyone else who adheres to human biology and history since mankind began. For the record, being transgender or having a host of other mental illnesses doesn’t necessarily make someone a violent threat to society, and it’s not meant to imply that Ms. Hale killed others because of her apparent transgender preference. Nevertheless, being diagnosed or self-identifying as transgender makes someone mentally ill and no amount of leftist spin, nor brightly colored flags in a parade, can change that.)

— Vivek Ramaswamy’s extraordinary discussion with Jordan Peterson – Andrea Widburg
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/03/vivek_ramaswamys_extraordinary_discussion_with_jordan_peterson.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Transgenderism is a leftist-induced mental illness that is intended to achieve two very specific ends that will empower statism: First, it destroys the family. This is overtly achieved by the groomers in and outside of schools who tell children that “we’re your family,” and more covertly achieved by making these mentally damaged people physically and emotionally incapable of having children. Second, it makes these same people utterly dependent on the government to pay for the lifelong medical costs associated with hormones and surgery.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “The gun that divides a nation. The AR-15 thrives in times of tension and tragedy. This is how it came to dominate the marketplace – and loom so large in the American psyche.” If/when the many millions of invading citizens of foreign countries start shooting at citizens of America, they will be met with American AR-15s.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/ar-15-america-gun-culture-politics/
— Democrats ask “Why do Americans own AR-15s?” and says “The Washington Post and Ipsos asked nearly 400 AR-15 owners why they own the rifle.” In Illinois, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, expect that ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that you will be presumed to be an AR-15 owner, and therefore, the more that you will be demonized, denigrated, and condemned: FOID card holder, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, veteran, married, non-poor, married, homeowner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that Democrats and RINOs do to get rid of you once and for all.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/american-ar-15-gun-owners/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The survey found that AR-15 owners come from red, blue and purple states. Compared with Americans as a whole, AR-15 owners are significantly more likely to be White, male and between the ages 40 and 65. They’re also more likely to have higher incomes, to have served in the military and to be Republican. And AR-15 owners are more likely to live in states former president Donald Trump won in 2020 than adults overall. Self-defense was the most popular reason for owning an AR-15. Other popular answers included recreation, target shooting and hunting, while some pointed to owning an AR-15 as their Second Amendment right.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shooter identified as transgender, according to police. Perhaps nowhere is that war as pronounced as in Tennessee, where conservative legislators recently banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth and barred drag queens or other “male or female impersonators” from performing anywhere near children. Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said police were examining whether the shooter’s transgender identity was part of the motive for the shooting. “As we know more, we’ll definitely make that known, but right now we’re unsure if that actually played a role,” he said. Drake said police believed the shooter might have harbored some “resentment” for “having to go to that school,” but he did not elaborate. Police did not respond to requests for clarity around Hale’s gender identity, chosen name or pronouns.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Based on the opinion given by a former Attorney General in 1972, an opinion Mortimer referenced while addressing the board, an appropriate reaction for central committees after a boundary realignment would be continue operating with the previous boundaries regardless of the change, as those precinct committee people are, in fact, elected officials. “It may be an old opinion, but the logic is still good,” Prosecuting Attorney Mark Taylor stated in regard to the 1972 opinion. He further clarified that Idaho code explicitly states Precinct Committeemen and women are to be elected, and appointments should only be made to fill vacancies resulting from death, moving out of jurisdiction areas and the like. If an elected person has not died or moved, he explained to the public, you cannot use a boundary change to remove that person from office. He continued by stating precinct boundary changes are not justification for removing an elected person from an elected position as they do not create vacancies which need to be filled.)

— We Don’t Want Nobody Sent: An Oral History of the Daley Years (COMMENT: Richard J. Daily was the mayor of Chicago from 1955 to 1976. No one sent me, but the Democrats who ran IRS’s Chicago office hired me anyway in 1971 because they could find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who would take the job. They fully expected me to become a Democrat, but I never did. In 1974, to get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers and in 1978, they disallowed my education deductions. In 1997, when his son was mayor, my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/illinois-house-oks-bill-to-prohibit-banning-of-books-in-libraries-senate-next/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois House passed a bill last Wednesday that would prohibit libraries from banning books or other material because of partisan or doctrinal pressure, prompting strong opposition from Republicans who called it an assault on local control. . .Some Republicans, however, argued that public libraries are governed by locally elected boards, and that those boards should have the authority to decide how best to serve their communities. “I find this a complete assault on local control,” said Rep. Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills). These people volunteer as nonpartisan elected local officials, and for the state to tell a local library board, ‘listen to the professionals; follow the professionals’ – I don’t understand why we have local elections anymore if a bill like this passes.” The bill passed the House 69-39 with all of the no votes coming from Republicans. Three Democrats and one Republican were recorded as present but not voting. The bill next goes to the Senate for consideration.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party of Illinois is spending $300,000 on mailers and online campaigns for local school and library board races early next month. Democrats said in a news release they’ve identified dozens of candidates they recommend and oppose while launching a website DefendOurSchoolsIL.com. Last week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker explained why his attention is on local school board races. “There are lots of candidates who are running, Republicans or Democrats, they’re not listed on the ballots as such. What we’re trying to do is to raise awareness about the extremists that are running,” Pritzker said at an unrelated event last week.)

https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-03-24/what-a-house-gop-messaging-bill-could-spell-for-2024-culture-war-campaign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill, introduced by Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow, requires schools to notify parents that they have the right to review the curriculum and school budget, inspect books and other library materials, and receive information about any violent activity in the school. The bill would also prohibit schools from selling student information. Elementary schools or schools housing grades 5-8 would be required to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s pronouns or preferred name or allowing a student to change their sex-based accommodations, like locker rooms or bathrooms.)

— Could we get the ‘banned books’ people to start caring about banned books? – Timothy P. Carney
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/could-we-get-banned-books-people-care-banned-books
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Did you know that the 1619 Project is a banned book? This might surprise you, given that it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, has a Hulu original series, and that governments everywhere are paying the author tens of thousands of dollars to speak about the book. Did you know that The Handmaid’s Tale is also banned? Again, this could be a confusing fact for anyone paying any attention to American media and elite culture over the past seven years. But the 1619 Project and The Handmaid’s Tale are two of the books pictured in this NPR story on banned books or the “banned book” websites to which it links. Of course, by no ordinary understanding of the word “banned” are these books banned, as evidenced that every book mentioned herein is available at every prestige bookstore, every chain bookstore, and Amazon. What’s going on is that activists have decided to change the meaning of “banned books” to include any book that has been removed from a middle school curriculum or is not stocked in a high school library. It’s normal that activists would abuse language in order to make their own issue seem more important. It’s unfortunate that this abuse of language is at the hands of people who claim to care about literacy, given that precision in language is a way in which literature can liberate and inform. It’s also lamentable that so much of the news media credulously adopts the activists’ dishonest language. NPR uncritically repeats the word “ban” more than 50 times in this story about books that obviously everyone can buy, get for free, and take out from public libraries.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrats say “What It’s Like to Become a Caregiver to Your Parents in Your 20s.” My mother stayed home and raised my brother and I. She never attended high school. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21-year-old NIU student. Potential employers were not interested in hiring me because they viewed me as being draft-bait and my demographics were terrible. In 1970, after a) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, b) getting a job working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, a job that did not really require a college degree, c) moving back in with my mother and brother in Crete, and d) starting to help support them financially, I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment. Before that application was approved in 1971, a) Oldsmobile offered me a job which I accepted, b) my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that job offer, and c) Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of the aforesaid, I accepted a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $52,002/year) Revenue Officer. I got rehired by Firestone to work part-time pumping gasoline and I continued to live with my mother and brother and to help support them financially until my mother got a better paying job in 1972. In September of 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park.)

— Democrats ask “College material or not: who should decide?” Were you viewed as being “college material.” I was not. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because of a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. During my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between, instead of studying, I washed dishes to earn money for tuition and books at UIC and a new 1966 Pontic Tempest Sprint to commute to classes there from my parents’ home in Crete.)

EPOCH TIMES
— House Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act – Joseph Lord
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-passes-parents-bill-of-rights-act_5147144.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Republicans’ key goals in crafting the bill was to ensure that parents who speak out against what is being taught to their children do not face retribution from local, state, or federal authorities. “No longer will [parents] have their speech denied, or feel threatened for expressing their concerns at school board meetings,” Foxx said. The comment was in reference to a late-2021 controversy in which Attorney General Merrick Garland offered federal resources and guidance to local law enforcement to target parents who attended school board meetings. In 2021, the United States saw a deluge of concerned parents coming to school board meetings to speak out against left-wing ideology in the classroom. Many parents came to their school board to speak out against critical race theory (CRT), a highly contentious left-wing theory that holds that white people are inherently “privileged” and that non-white people are inherently oppressed. Critics of CRT note that it has its origins in the political thought of Karl Marx, the ideological founder of communism; the theory has also been criticized as racist for its efforts to reduce the individual to a member of a group on the basis of their skin color. In his remarks against the bill, Scott suggested that CRT was “an accurate recounting of our nation’s history,” and that the legislation would “punish librarians” who pushed CRT. Other parents came to school board meetings to speak out against fringe left-wing notions of sex and gender. Many left-wing activists claim that gender is a social construct and that a person can change their gender based on their feelings. One parent, Terry Newsome of Chicago, who spoke out against allowing “Gender Queer” in his kids’ school library in 2021, was later placed on a terror watch-list with no warning or further explanation.)

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/huckabee-sanders-goes-after-white-privilege-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a mandatory training last month, a high school in Arkansas issued its teachers a poll that forced them to reject the perks that come with being White. The survey was titled “Cultural Competency Continuum: Knowledge, Behaviors, and Dispositions for Educators,” and it was handed out during an obligatory educator-led development training, according to a letter sent by John L. Colbert, Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent. However, the unexpected teacher survey may have possibly violated Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ restriction on Critical Race Theory (CRT). “My administration will not tolerate this kind of CRT and indoctrination in our public schools,” Sanders said. Photos of the four-section survey, which the group had obtained from a teacher, were tweeted by a local “Mom’s for Liberty” chapter. “This survey compels teachers to acknowledge that, if White, they are biased, racist, and privileged… The survey does not measure IF a teacher is racist and privileged but rather how far down the racist and privileged continuum their answers rate them,” tweeted the mother-run group. “If there was any question about the presence of CRT in our district, this survey removes all doubt.” The Cultural Competency Continuum survey was recently given to teachers at Fayetteville High. This survey requires “teachers to acknowledge and to continually examine the influence of race, culture, power and privilege…In the “Analyze and Align” portion, educators were asked if they renounce “any privileges that come with White racial identity” and if they “advocate for cultural competency and social justice effectively and professionally.” The “Awaken and Assess” portion questioned participants if they were cognizant of their own privileges, biases, and stereotypes. In the “Apply and Act” portion, participants were asked if they normally “monitor and manage equitable access and support services” for their students by looking at data on their gender, color, ethnicity, and language. Also, it inquired as to whether they permit pupils to raise the awareness of teachers “by questioning bias assumptions or behaviors observed in our school environment.” Additionally, the survey questioned if participating educators were “brave equity warriors.” “We’ve already reached out to the district to ensure no teacher is forced to sign this pledge. We’re making sure it doesn’t happen again. We will teach kids how to think, not what to think,” Sanders said. Sanders had announced a ban on the schooling of CRT as one of her first official acts as governor. In his letter, Colbert stated that the Arkansas Department of Education had found the survey to be in violation of this rule. “Based on this guidance, Fayetteville Public Schools will ensure this survey is not further disseminated,” Colbert said in response to angry teachers and parents. All upcoming professional development materials, he pledged, would be examined to assure the utmost compliance. Colbert later downplayed the incident, claiming that the teacher survey was only ever used as a tool for introspection and was never actually collected or made mandatory. However, this contradicted what some teachers said were instructed to them in the beginning, regarding the survey. The Fayetteville Public School District declined to give any comments or answer journalist questions.)

— Facing floods, non-white homeowners prepare, protect property – Blaine Friedlander (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many hundreds of hours and the many thousands of dollars that I have had to spend since 1984 to protect my home against storm water damage a) because Wheaton approved a grossly inadequate stormwater drainage plan for my subdivision and b) because Wheaton let the subdivision developer violate many building and construction codes.)
https://phys.org/news/2023-03-non-white-homeowners-property.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In flood-prone areas of New York state, non-white homeowners are more likely than white homeowners to take active, sometimes-costly measures—such as finding a way to protect a furnace, a water heater or installing a sump pump—to prepare for a possible deluge, according to a new Cornell study. White respondents to a survey, the researchers learned, were generally more confident of better outcomes from dire situations and saw the possibility of a flood threat differently. Thus, people who identified as white took more low-cost actions to protect their property from flooding—but tended to stop short of expensive measures. “Most of the time for people who live in flood-prone areas, flooding is not a top-of-the-mind worry,”)

FEDERALIST
— Indiana Lawsuit Challenges Parties’ Right To Keep Candidates Off The Ballot – OLIVIA HAJICEK (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization should officially have the power to stop candidates from running as Republicans in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. But of course, if the aforesaid organizations officially had that power, their Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders would officially use that power to stop candidates from running as Republicans who support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage/family, c) right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support the aforesaid planks, if I had tried to run for any government office in Illinois, DuPage County, or Milton Township, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the aforesaid organizations would have stopped if they had the power to do so. Just look at how they attacked me when sought to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019.)

https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/21/donald-trump-plan-dismantle-deep-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former President Donald Trump unveiled his new plan Tuesday to “dismantle the deep state” by firing “rogue” bureaucrats and career politicians, according to a new policy agenda video. Trump released a list of ten items that indicate how he plans to “clean out the deep state,” starting with re-instating an executive order that would give the president the authority to fire bureaucrats, according to the video posted on Rumble. The former president’s plan would dismantle the “Washington Swamp,” target corruption and ensure that federal bureaucrats and politicians are held accountable. “The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible,” Trump said in the video.)

ANSWER: To get rid of me a) because I was a Republican who had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I was conservative, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestor had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972.)

REUTERS
— Democrats say “A group of seven U.S. senators on Tuesday proposed legislation to raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65, in a bid to address airline industry staffing issues.” If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and you did not make it into Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, by age 40, your Democrat superiors will force you to retire as soon as you are eligible. I was eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I was not eligible to take regular retirement until 2003 when I would have been 55. My $63,144/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less because of that. It is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars. It is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.

ENTREPRENEUR
— Why Personal Responsibility Is Key to Changing Your Life – DANIEL MANGENA (COMMENT: To what extent did you take personal responsibility for getting you bachelor’s degree? I took great personal responsibility because my outstanding parents were not in a good position to pay for my college expenses. Neither of them attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and me. Further, my scholarship possibilities were extremely bleak. I only just barely made into the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee Hight School class, I could not run, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20.20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and my ACT score was only 24. That is why when I was 16 in 1964, a) I got a job washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights, b) I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete, high school, and my dishwashing job; c) I saved all of my salary that I could. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to get to/from my parents’ home and a) jobs during the summer of 1966 cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights, b) taking classes at UIC starting in September of 1966, and c) delivering mail part-time in Park Forest starting in November of 1966.)

The Republican Party is conservative. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Single women more likely to own homes than single men despite gender pay gap.” In 1972, when I was 24 years old and single, I bought a new town home in University Park. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey collecting delinquent taxes and for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time pumping gasoline. Also, with that money, I bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and starting in 1972, I paid for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1974, when I was still single, because I got promoted to an IRS job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in Harvey, Joliet, and Chicago. In 1976, when I was still single, I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago. The down payment came from what I had earned working for IRS in the Loop. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $52,022/year in 1971, $63,633/year in 1972, $76,990/year in 1973, $92,279/year in 1974, $95,355/year in 1975, and $98,431/year in 1976.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/18/progressive-ny-politicians-race-bait-against-white-people/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Woke New York Democratic pols from Buffalo to Brooklyn have made racist rhetoric about white people a central pillar of their message to voters. At the local, statewide and national level, left-wing, mostly socialist, elected officials have decried without repercussion that white people live in their neighborhoods, argued they should not be eligible for certain jobs, and issued broad demonizing statements. “Anti-whiteness is the fundamental premise of the left. All that is needed to take out an institution or an individual is to publicly observe that that individual is white or that that institution (Western science, Western medicine, classical music, European art) has historically been majority white or may still be majority white today,” Heather Mac Donald, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute, told The Post. “Biden routinely says that white people have an enduring problem with racism, we represent the dark soul of the US,” Mac Donald added. Some pols, such as East New York City Councilman Charles Barron, even boast of anti-white bonafides.)

— Democrats say “Atlanta police keep watch as Trump calls for U.S. protests.” I should write a book about those who a) have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that I am a Trump operative/dupe and b) have used that against me the most. I would focus on a) those who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst and b) those who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. I have never been anyone’s operative or dupe.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Alvin Bragg’s Political Charge Against Donald Trump. An indictment of a former President must be for serious offenses with indisputable evidence. – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many other adverse actions against me before that. They not only knew that I would sue them in federal court because of that, they wanted me to sue them in federal court. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and that my Republican U.S. Representatives in Illinois, including Hastert, would not come to my defense. They knew that the Democrat-run federal courts in Illinois would deny me my 7th Amendment rights and grant GAO summary judgment, which is what they did. They knew that summary judgment would give them even more power to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, up-or-out, budget cuts, etc. to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their Republican employees, and especially those who share my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, etc. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.wsj.com/articles/alvin-braggs-political-charge-against-donald-trump-new-york-arrest-presidential-campaign-2024-election-da-charges-stormy-daniels-f5c1b6e1
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So Mr. Bragg may indict a former President for the first time in American history based on the weakest of charges. He would subject the country to a trial that would be a media circus for the ages. And he would do so running the risk that a single juror could block a guilty verdict and validate Mr. Trump’s claim that this is a political prosecution. Yes, we know, in America no one is above the law. But prosecutors use their discretion every day not to bring charges for any number of reasons. Mr. Bragg came into office vowing not to charge numerous non-violent crimes against public order. The prosecution of a former President who is again a candidate for the White House is inherently fraught with political ramifications.)

— Democrats say that Democrat Senator Mark Kelly says that Trump’s supporters should be able to protest peacefully but that law enforcement officials should be prepared to make sure it doesn’t rise to the level of violence. I should write a book about those who a) have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most that I am a Trump operative/dupe and b) have used that against me the most.

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats say “‘Despicable’ Pandering: Ron DeSantis Roasted For Odd Claim About His Upbringing.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have stressed the most a) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, b) that my parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL, and c) that I am 100% German American.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-cultural-upbringing_n_6417dbc4e4b0fef15244c95f
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But he claimed his “cultural” background was quite different from his “geographical” one. ″[C]ulturally my upbringing reflected the working-class communities in western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio — from weekly church attendance to the expectation that one would earn his keep,” he wrote. “This made me God-fearing, hard-working and America-loving.” NBC News notes that DeSantis’ claim stems from his parents’ “geographical” background: His father was raised in Pennsylvania, and his parents met while attending Youngstown State University in Ohio. But the governor himself never lived in either place, which just so happen to be key to any presidential ambitions.)

— Democrats say “Millennials are more likely than other generations to support a cap on personal wealth.” According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I have always had too much wealth. It started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. It got worse in 1967 when I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and in 1967 and when I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office. It got worse in 1970 when I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. It got worse in 1971 when I bought a new 1972 Corvette and in 1972 when I bought a new town home in University Park with money that I earned working for IRS and working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time.

https://willcountygazette.com/stories/640266683-how-many-will-county-students-failed-their-math-exams-in-2022
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly 7 in 10 Will County public high school students aren’t at grade level in Math. That’s according to a Will County Gazette analysis of 2022 test score data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). ISBE reports that last year, 68.1 percent of Will County’s 7,951 public high school students failed the Math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have “minimal (or) incomplete… understanding of the knowledge and skills relative to Illinois Learning Standards.” Students can achieve four proficiencies in their subjects (partially met, approaching, meets, and exceeds standards). This report concludes students who partially met or approached the standards have failed in the subject. Crete-Monee High School (89.9 percent), Joliet Central High School (87.6 percent), and Beecher High School (86.9 percent) had the highest failure rates in Will County.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Democrats say “DeSantis plays on America’s divisions as he readies 2024 campaign.” Tragically, ever-increasingly, those who remain in Illinois are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-rich people, anti-home owners, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-Germans American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Democrats say “GOP must acknowledge that Trump is a fatally flawed candidate.” I should write a book about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have dumped me. I would focus on those candidates who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and/or in Illinois. I would split the aforesaid up between a) those who share many of my demographics and b) those who share few of my demographics. My demographics include conservative, White, male, older (74), married (since 1978), childless, non-veteran, gun-owner, Protestant (Missouri Synod Lutheran), German American (100%), ancestors have been in America for a long time (mine since 1844), former union member (almost 12 years), former federal employee (almost 30 years), and federal retiree (almost 26 years). I would focus on those who ever-increasingly side with my critics/opponents if not ever-increasingly talk/act like they are now operatives/dupes for my critics/opponents.

— The gender wage gap is stuck (COMMENT: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO, I would have presented a jury with many examples in which my Democrat GAO superiors consistently gave me smaller pay increases than they gave my Democrat coworkers who were female and/or minority and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had fewer job-related professional certifications and licenses than I had. They always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.)

— Spending Time versus Spending Money – Erica Mina Okada (COMMENT: How much available time and money do you have and what do you do with that available time and money? I send 10+ hours each and every day and thousands of dollars every year putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning. Those newsletters fill tremendous communication voids in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. Those newsletters provide links to government and political news and commentary articles that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, conservative leaders, and religious leaders should be providing.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tucek explained there are three precincts that will have boundary shifts due to a requirement that no precinct be split between two legislative districts. With the redrafting of legislative boundaries completed, Tucek must align Fergus County’s precinct boundaries.)

SIOUX CITY JOURNAL
— Democrats say “Thurston County has denied claims that redrawn county board of supervisors districts purposely discriminate against Native American voters who make up a majority of the county’s population in order to ensure white politicians maintain control of the board.” One could analyze the impact of proposed DuPage County precinct line changes in terms of voter demographics including: political affiliation, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, parenthood, religion, national origin, length of time ancestors have been in America, renter/home owner, housing stock age/size, income, net worth, veteran status, union membership, etc. Because Democrats are doing the redrawing, expect that areas that have voters with demographics that vote for Republicans will be further split up.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The current plan was adopted, the county said, because it aligned supervisor district boundaries with voting precinct boundaries to make the ballot process simpler and to reduce election costs.)

NEW YORKER
— Democrats oppose meritocracy because with meritocracy, Republicans do better than Democrats. Because their Democrat employees could not do what I did, my Democrat GAO superiors were furious. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. And, I became a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997. Because their Democrat employees could not do what I did, my Democrat IRS superiors were furious. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. Because their Democrat employees could not do what I did, my Democrat Post Office superiors were furious. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.
