— Democrats ever-increasingly call Republicans racists and sexists. Democrats ever-increasingly shout at everyone a) that Republicans cause all the problems that minorities and women have, and that because of that, b) minorities and women will forever need massive government assistance. I worked my way through college. I earned three master’s degrees. I earned six professional certifications. I earned a professional license. If a minority or a woman had done that, they would have been infinitely more successful career wise than I was. Ever since the 1960s, my employers have been under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to ever-increasingly give more preference to minorities and to women.

— Democrat leaders glorify and praise Lake View high school senior Bella Brown. What leadership skills did you show in high school? I showed none. Because I needed money for college, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and the summer in between. I used the money that I earned and saved to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to commute from my parents’ home in Crete to a) summer jobs in 1966, b) classes at UIC 1966-1967, and c) delivering mail in Park Forest 1966-1967.

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout at voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrat and RINO candidates in the April 1, 2025 election. How much success have they had doing that in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct?
