How soon and where will Democrat leaders house their illegals in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district?

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Mayor Johnson calls on state to build migrant shelters outside Chicago – Alice Yin
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-brandon-johnson-migrants-shelter-20240124-x64wt7s5cbd4laf5phnrabfbay-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker on Monday said the Johnson administration had not told the state “where they would like us to put our resources” to build new shelters, “so we can’t help if they don’t identify those locations.” Johnson countered Wednesday that “the state has received a number of locations that they can build a shelter at.” He did not elaborate. But city officials said they have recommended to Pritzker’s administration potential sites outside Chicago, sometimes with specific buildings in mind, a notion the governor’s office disputes. “And you know, again, just keep in mind that the state of Illinois can build a shelter anywhere in the state of Illinois. So, the state does not have to build a shelter in Chicago,” he said.)

— With fundraising up, Illinois GOP may be turning a corner – Greg Hinz
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/illinois-gop-may-be-turning-corner#/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just in time for election season, the Illinois Republican Party is showing signs of life. A fundraiser set for next month not only is a sellout, with 740 tickets purchased for the Feb. 9 dinner at a Rosemont hotel, but has garnered more money than the party reported raising all of last year. Combined with an armistice of sorts between often feuding factions on the party’s central committee, the party appears to have taken at least initial steps to pull out of the funk it’s been in since former Gov. Bruce Rauner lost his re-election bid to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in November 2018. Rauner moved to Florida shortly after the 2018 vote, followed soon by Citadel chief Ken Griffin. Both men and a couple of others, such as shipping mogul Dick Uihlein, had almost personally kept the party funded, writing large personal checks. With them gone and Pritzker easily winning a new term in 2022, income dried up, with the Illinois Republican Party reporting income of only $230,000 in 2023, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records. That has changed. The upcoming Rosemont event featuring U.S. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana already has grossed “more than $300,000,” says party Chairman Don Tracy, a Springfield lawyer who took office after Rauner left the state. And with three weeks to go, the party has added as many seats as it can to the Rosemont venue and sold them all. “That’s the biggest event I can remember in many years,” said Tracy in a phone interview. “There’s a lot energy.” “Seven hundred people and $300,000 — that’s quite an accomplishment,” said former party Chair Pat Brady. The event appears to be the largest fundraiser for the state party since a host of presidential candidates showed up at a 2011 Chicago event honoring Ronald Reagan’s birthday, according to Brady. In an odd twist that also indicates some change, Tracy said much of the proceeds from the event will be used to amplify the Illinois GOP’s early- and absentee-vote efforts. Ergo the dinner’s “bank the vote” theme. Former President Donald Trump famously ridiculed such efforts after his 2020 loss, repeatedly charging that any votes not cast in person on Election Day were subject to massive fraud. Many party professionals later concluded that relying strictly on in-person votes ceded too much ground to Democrats, and Tracy said efforts to get the GOP back into the early-vote game this year have the blessing of not just the Republican National Committee but Trump himself. Despite the new money, Illinois Republicans face a daunting task this election cycle. They hold no statewide offices, are in no super-minority positions in the Illinois House and Senate, and likely presidential nominee Trump lost the state by a wide margin to Democratic nominees in 2020 and 2016. Trump heading the 2024 ticket “could be a headwind,” particularly in Chicago, where the party needs to do much better, Tracy said. Tracy has remained neutral in this GOP contest, with Richard Porter, the GOP national committeeman from Illinois, having backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Regardless of who the party nominee is, “We’re going to be broad-based, on a wide range of issues. . . .We have a team,” Tracy said. Jeanne Ives, the former gubernatorial candidate and conservative who serves on the state party’s governing board, confirmed the group is more unified at the moment than it has been in recent years. “There’s a concerted team effort to turn the tide and make things better,” Ives said in a phone interview. Having a plan and the money to fund it “will help,” even in Illinois, she added.)

— Paul Vallas has declined to take part in the Chicago GOP fundraiser that we wrote about Wednesday. “In the last week I was asked to speak at a community forum. Unbeknownst to me it was a GOP fundraiser, and my name and likeness was used without my permission to promote the event,” he posted on social media. “I will not be attending the event.” Different take from the GOP: “Mr. Vallas was invited as a policy expert who is affiliated with the Illinois Policy Institute, not a politician,” wrote Chicago Republican Party Chair Steve Boulton in a statement. “We have hosted other policy experts at past events. The nature of the event was fully explained to Mr. Vallas.” – SHIA KAPOS

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/dei_making_college_unaffordable.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I graduated from college in the 1980s. I took my bachelor’s degree in 2.5 years by taking overloads—up to 22 credits–every semester, and full loads every summer and interim session, as well as a number of correspondence courses from another university when I had to have a class that wasn’t offered when I needed it. At that state college, my education cost a bit less than $10,000. I was an adult, paying my own freight, and needed to get back into the workforce as quickly as possible. I took out no student loans. Tuition then was a fraction of current college tuition. That was in part possible because the school had only the administrators it needed. There was one registrar, one President, and only necessary additional administrators. They all had full time jobs with at least eight hours of daily work. Deans were working professors, and virtually every English and music class—my disciplines–was taught by a full professor. Every teacher at that school taught a full class load. There was no such thing as DEI, CRT or wokeness in general. That’s not the way of things now.)

Nelson (COMMENT: What is your hometown? Diersens lived in Crete 1854-2022. My parents and all my ancestors were 100% German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, it was full of German American Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. In my defense, I have often had to stress that my grandfather fought the Germans in WWI, that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and that my wife of 46 years is Catholic. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

JOURNAL COURIER
— Some firearms owners worry state will step up action amid poor registration numbers – Ben Singson (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that immediately after the next big mass shooting in Illinois, Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk high-profile non-registrants in their counties who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/republican-lawmakers-worry-possible-seizure-18617660.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republican state lawmakers are worried the state is going to escalate action against unregistered prohibited firearms in Illinois — including seizing them — though the governor’s office denies any such plan. Assistant Republican Leader Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Murrayville, said he is concerned Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration would coordinate with Illinois State Police to begin confiscation of illegal weapons, including those now banned under the Protect Illinois Communities Act. “I believe it will happen, if it has not happened already,” he said. Davidsmeyer said he also is worried the government will withhold grants from local law enforcement agencies that did not enforce the assault weapons ban. Dozens of sheriffs have stepped forward to say they will not enforce the ban, a move Pritzker has said would put their jobs at risk. “Ultimately, my concern is that … because so many sheriffs have said they will not enforce this law,” Davidsmeyer said, “that the state will try to withhold all grants from local law enforcement because they’re not doing what the powers on high tell them they have to do.” A representative for the governor’s office said the claims are “all completely false.” The concerns come after few people registered guns classified as “assault weapons” with state police by the ban’s registration deadline. About 1.2% of all Firearm Owner Identification Card holders registered their guns between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31; an additional 5,867 were in the process Jan. 1-16 of completing an affidavit, according to state police. Davidsmeyer said he believes Pritzker will “say whatever politically he needs to say” to enact stronger measures against some firearms. Politicians are “afraid of doing … partial measures” because they want to be sponsored by pro-gun control groups, he said. “Unfortunately, the reality is (Pritzker) wants those guns,” Davidsmeyer said. “That’s it. I’m not saying this to scare anybody. He doesn’t believe people should have them so, at the end of the day, he hasn’t specifically said, ‘We’re going to come to your house and take your guns.'” A representative for Illinois State Police said officers must enforce all aspects of the criminal code, “including seizing unlawfully possessed weapons.” They must operate within the bounds of the Constitution, the Fourth Amendment and the local state’s attorney, the representative said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As my young family members hear back from colleges about admissions decisions, I recall my experience and how being accepted to Cornell quite literally changed the course of my life. The moment also reminds me how I could have missed the opportunity to attend life-changing institutions if the current college admissions policies were in place then. The decision by the United States Supreme Court to repeal race-conscious admissions looms large. Affirmative action is not merely a policy; it’s a bridge to opportunities once unattainable.)

— Despite ‘symbolic’ objections, lawmakers clear path for assault weapon registration rules – Peter Hancock (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that immediately after the next big mass shooting in Illinois, Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk high-profile non-registrants in their counties who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/illinois-lawmakers-clear-path-assault-weapon-18615276.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the concerns raised during the discussions focused on how ISP planned to collect and store information about the items people registered, and what the agency would do with that information if the law eventually is overturned as unconstitutional. So far, the law has survived legal challenges in both state and federal courts, but the National Association for Gun Rights, which is the major plaintiff in one of the federal lawsuits, has said it plans to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court within the next several weeks. Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, who also co-chairs the committee, said Tuesday he was frustrated by the short timeframe used to adopt the new rules and by the way some issues were handled. He then offered a motion to prohibit ISP from adopting the rules, arguing that the rules do not meet a requirement in state statute that they be “simple and clear” so people and groups affected by them can understand them. That motion failed because it needed eight votes on the 12-member committee but only received six.)

I would focus on those who never came close to having to compete against illegals for jobs.

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped more gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— A pay cut for a better work-life balance? Many workers say yes – Micah Materre (COMMENT: Have you taken a pay cut? GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO. I did that because the Democrats who ran GAO would not let me transfer unless I took that pay cut. Because my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. Because the GAO Staff Manager who arranged the transfer promised me I would be quickly promoted to GS-11 Step 10 and then back to GS-12 Step 5 and then to GS-13. Because that GAO Staff Manager promised me he would assign me to audits of IRS so that I could use my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working 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. Because of GAO’s mission. Because GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. Because far too many people hate IRS employees. But the Democrats who ran GAO immediately replaced that Staff Manager with a Staff Manager who disapproved of my being a former IRS employee, my being a former union member, and my being conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and someone who transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority, lots of unused annual leave and sick leave. For the next 6 years, he gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, he delayed my promotions, and he I kept me off audits of IRS. But then, he want on extended sick leave in late 1985 because of his heart problems caused by his excessive drinking. That enabled the Staff Manager who had arranged my transfer to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13, currently $115,439/year. But then, in 1987, the Staff Manager who disapproved of me came back from extended sick leave and promptly a) forced Staff Manager who had arranged my transfer to retire, b) threw off audits of IRS, c) gave me a very bad job assignment, d) gave me very unfair performance expectations and a very unfair performance appraisal, ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and made it clear that GAO would never reassign me to audits of IRS or promote me to GS-14. )

— You need more than $1 million to retire in parts of the US: How does Chicago rank? – Addy Bink (COMMENT: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high. My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is dramatically less (it is only $65,165/year), because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Even though I paid into Social Security 1964-1974, my Social Security is dramatically less (it is only $2,945.20/year). because I get a CSRS pension. Because Medicare now costs me $3,255.60/year, all my Social Security goes to pay Medicare and I had to pay Medicare $320.40 more. I have only $259,336.63 in regular IRA accounts and only $69,091.58 in Roth IRA accounts a) because of my Democrat superiors in the federal government, b) because I paid lots of money for tuition and books to earn three job-related master’s degrees, and c) because I bought new cars and collector cars.)
https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/you-need-more-than-1-million-to-retire-in-parts-of-the-us-how-does-chicago-rank/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois fell on the lower end of the scale, ranking as the 15th-cheapest state overall. Here, GOBankingRates determined you need at least $787,800 to retire, slightly more than Indiana at $777,600. Wisconsin retirees need even more at $840,000. That total would, of course, increase if you retired earlier. To fund a 30-year retirement, you’d need at least $1 million in 25 states, the study found. . .While Illinois ranked among the more affordable states, Chicago ranked among the most expensive metros to retire in. Here, you’ll need roughly $948,000 in order to afford a 25-year retirement. If you moved north to the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, you could save about $100,000, the analysis found. Across the state in the St. Louis area, a retiree needs even less at about $744,000.)

I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. 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. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had fewer no professional certifications, and/or d) had no professional license. Virtually all of them were women and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— Some speculate gun confiscation on the horizon in Illinois – Greg Bishop
https://www.cities929.com/2024/01/14/some-speculate-gun-confiscation-on-the-horizon-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some are speculating Gov. J.B. Pritzker may work to confiscate registered firearms if there’s another mass casualty event. Part of Illinois’ gun ban enacted last year includes a registry of banned items. Before the Jan. 1 deadline to register, nearly 30,000 Illinoisans registered banned firearms with the state. That’s about 1.22% of the state’s 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders. Guns Save Life Executive Director John Boch said there could be efforts on the horizon implemented to confiscate firearms that were registered following a mass casualty event. “Existing people who have dutifully followed the registration requirement of the law are given 90 days to surrender those firearms and accessories to police, or they face an additional felony charge,” Boch told The Center Square was leaked to him. While Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office denied similar assertions raised elsewhere with a comment to ABC 20, Pritzker last month did address why he approved a banned gun registry. “We wanna make sure that you know where those very, very deadly weapons are, who owns them, when and if a crime is committed with one of them,” Pritzker said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— President Biden’s ‘Top Priority’ for a second term? – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/president_bidens_top_priority_for_a_second_term.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even if you are “pro-choice,” making abortion the “top priority” is macabre at best. How about stopping the flood of illegals coming across our southern border… and the fentanyl and human trafficking that a porous border allows? After all, fentanyl alone kills 100,000+ Americans each year. How about trying to prevent or curtail foreign wars? Or attempting to reduce inflation and taxes to make life more affordable and pleasant for millions? How about addressing the unsustainable and soon-to-be devastating $34 trillion debt? Or the fact that China is bidding to take over the world? Nope. Gotta make sure everyone has unfettered access and ability to kill their babies! What a platform Democrats will have for 2024: Make unrestricted abortion the law of the land (Make Abortion Great Again!), Pack the court, Eliminate the Electoral College, Eliminate the filibuster, Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, Work towards the elimination of fossil fuels… and gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment, Provide more money for teachers’ unions, Provide more money for mainstream media outlets, Progress towards making “15-minute cities” a reality across the United States, Significantly raise taxes on ammunition so as to make it unaffordable for all but wealthy Democrat donors… thereby rendering guns—and the First Amendment—moot, Make mail-in voting a permanent fixture in every state for every election, and Lower the voting age to 16. All of this in the name of “saving our democracy,” of course.)

— Take Your Government Job and Shove It – Noel S. Williams (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and an IRS employee for almost 9 of those 30 years 1971-1980. I have been a federal retiree for more than 26 years. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used the aforesaid against me the most. They foist negative federal employee stereotypes on me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I was grossly overpaid and that my Civil Service Retirement System pension is much too generous. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/take_your_government_job_and_shove_it.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal government jobs are also growing—7,000 in December alone. Thankfully, there are some conscientious Republicans who are trying to impose some pecuniary discipline on the spendthrift Dems. Perhaps they were also guided by Ronald Reagan’s sarcastic refrain about the most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” The terrifying IRS doesn’t help much. Actually, that dreadful department can be downright detrimental to one’s disposition, especially to the conservative groups they scrutinized. In the newly-proposed 1.59 trillion spending bill, there will be a reduction to IRS funding. It’s a start, but not enough, so let’s “revise” more of those jobs out of existence. Indeed, take your IRS agent jobs and shove ‘em.)

— The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services
https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/speeches/rep-tom-mcclintock-opening-statement-impact-illegal-immigration-social-services
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How does it improve access to health care for Americans to pack our emergency rooms and maternity wards with illegals demanding free health care? How does it strengthen our social safety net to allow in five million impoverished people requiring care? How does it make our communities safer by making it all but impossible to deport criminal illegal aliens? How does it help working families by flooding the labor market with cheap, illegal labor? How does it improve our schools by packing classrooms with non-English speaking students? . . .This is not because of incompetence. This is the deliberate policy of this administration. It won’t be solved by new laws that the Senate won’t pass and the President won’t sign or enforce. It won’t be solved by spending more money to encourage and support still more illegal aliens flooding our country. It won’t be solved by swapping one leftist official for another.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— In Race to Replace George Santos, Financial Questions Re-emerge. Mazi Pilip, the Republican candidate running in New York’s Third District, drew scrutiny after her initial financial disclosure was missing required information. – Nicholas Fandos (COMMENT: Far too many candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have far too many big skeletons in their closets. You should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office if you have a big skeleton in your closet. I should write a book about the following who have/had the biggest skeletons in their closets that brought them down since 2000: past and present a) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, b) Republican elected officials in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I refused to cover up their wrongdoing.)
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The little-known candidate, Mazi Pilip, reported between $1 million and $5.2 million in assets, largely comprising her husband’s medical practice and Bitcoin investments. In an unusual disclosure, she said the couple owed and later repaid as much as $250,000 to the I.R.S. last year. But the initial financial report Ms. Pilip filed with the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday appeared to be missing other important required information, including whether the assets were owned solely by herself or her husband, Dr. Adalbert Pilip, or whether they were owned jointly. And despite making past statements that she stopped working there in 2021 when she ran for the Nassau County Legislature, Ms. Pilip reported receiving a $50,000 salary from the family medical practice in 2022 and 2023.)

For me, it was my father who frequently decried that because he did not have one, he did not get promotions. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Consequently, in 1964, when I turned 16, I decided that I was going to earn a bachelor’s degree in business from UIC. I started taking college preparatory courses at Crete-Monee High School. I started earning and saving money to buy a new car to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— The IRS is still too slow in answering taxpayer phone calls according to an independent watchdog within the agency. – AP (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the CentiPhone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, and/or veteran.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— After 2 Million FOID Card Holders Rebel Against Pritzker, Democrats Target Illinois Gun Owners’ Driver’s Licenses (COMMENT: Pritzker knows who in Illinois owns banned “assault weapons” but has not registered them. What will Pritzker do to punish non-registrants? Short of taking their driver’s license away, will Pritzker publish their names and addresses and call for Democrats to harass them? Will Pritzker force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest high-profile non-registrants and perp walk them?)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/01/after-2-million-foid-card-holders-rebel-against-pritzker-democrats-target-illinois-gun-owners-drivers-licenses.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, State Senator Julie Morrison, the Majority Caucus Whip, introduced legislation that could result in Illinois gun owners’ losing their driver’s licenses without due process, less than two weeks after 2 million Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card holders rebelled and chose not to register their firearms in protest of Gov. Pritzker’s assault weapons ban that he signed into law last January. In a video statement released on Thursday evening, Illinois State Rifle Association president Doug Mayhall said, “Now the anti-gun legislators are coming after your Driver’s License!” Mayhall went on to explain Senate Bill 2720, which “proposes that when a FOID card is revoked – and the FOID card holder does not comply with Section 9.5 of the FOID Act by surrendering their FOID card to authorities – the gun owner may not be issued a driver’s license; renew a driver’s license; retain a driver’s license; or be issued a permit to drive under the Illinois Vehicle Code.” The legislation also requires the Illinois State Police to notify the Secretary of State’s office and report anyone that fails to comply with Section 9.5. But the issue is more troublesome than simply having your FOID card revoked according to Mayhall. “Under the Red Flag Law – there can be an ex parte case filed against you. In other words, someone can say you are a problem and go before a judge without you present. You then can lose your FOID card and not get a hearing for at least two weeks. So what’s the bottom line here? A person under this bill can be falsely accused and lose their right to drive without a single hearing.” The loss of a driver’s license can have serious implications, and it has the potential of completely disrupting one’s livelihood – including someone’s ability to get to and from work. The timing of the legislation to coincide with the January 1st deadline of Illinois’ gun registry and the one year anniversary of the assault weapons ban is not accidental, as Mayhall pointed out. “After Governor Pritzker was left embarrassed when less than 2 percent of the 2.4 million FOID Card holders registered their firearms by the January 1st deadline, he’s now looking for new ways to target and harass gun owners.” The legislation is awaiting a committee assignment, and the Democrats maintain a comfortable 40-19 supermajority in the state Senate.)

— John Hopkins Retracts Racist, Ageist, Sexist, Heterophobic ‘Privilege’ List from Its ‘Diversity Digest’ – CRAIG BANNISTER (COMMENT: How privileged are you?

In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that he died suddenly in 1969 when I was 21, and that my mother never attended high school. If I had been privileged, I would not have had to take the following jobs that my critics/opponents say are bad jobs that they would never stoop to take: a) doing yard work 1962-1964, b) delivering newspapers 1962-1966, c) washing dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966, e) delivering mail 1966-1969, f) working on an automobile assembly line in 1970, g) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, h) pumping gasoline 1971-1972, i) collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and j) auditing federal agencies 1980-1997.)

https://pjmedia.com/miltharris/2024/01/11/johns-hopkins-tells-us-whos-privileged-whether-you-know-it-or-not-n4925392
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Privilege is a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific group. Privilege operates on a personal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional levels and it provides advantages and favors to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups. In the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or more of these social identity groups: White people, Able bodied people, Heterosexuals, Cisgender people, Males, Christians, Middle or owning class people, Middle-aged people, English-speaking people. . .Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it. People in dominant groups often believe they have earned the privileges they enjoy or that everyone could have access to these privileges if only they worked to earn them. In fact, privileges are unearned and are granted to people in the dominant groups whether they want those privileges or not, and regardless of their stated intent. The fact that this woman believes that privileges can’t be earned under any circumstances not only proves the shallowness of her claims but also exposes her insidious intent to manipulate the minds of those who read this email. In her leftist delusion, no one earns anything, and only certain groups are privileged. Overall, her list is not only racist and totally bigoted, but she also managed to show disdain for the able-bodied as well as display her heterophobia, cisphobia, misandry, Christophobia, classism, middle-age misanthropy, and even a touch of Anglophobia. I guess Golden deserves congratulations. She has single-handedly saved anyone with the characteristics she listed in her email from wasting time applying to Johns Hopkins. After all, who would want to attend an “institution of lower learning,” where you are seen as privileged just for existing? We should also thank Golden for once again proving that the true meaning of DEI is Division, Exclusion, and Inequity.)

— 30-year-old couple earns $227,000 a year in Chicago—and aims to save up $2.5 million by their 40s. – Kamaron McNair and Valentina Duarte (COMMENT: One could compare and contrast this article with the 4-page article on my wife and I that Money Magazine had in its February 1978 issue. In that article Money Magazine focused on a) foisting negative government employee stereotypes on me (I had been an IRS employee since 1971 and I had been a postal employee 1966-1969) and my soon to be wife (she had worked for the FBI for 2 years), b) painting me as being promoted and being too fast and being grossly overpaid, and c) painting my education deductions (graduate business courses at Loyola and graduate accounting courses at DePaul) as being improper.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/11/couple-earns-227000-dollars-a-year-in-chicago-and-aim-to-save-up-2point5-million.html
(FRM THE ARTICLE: By their early 40s, Jenna Bhaloo and Neil Desai plan to attain a net worth of $2.5 million. That’s how much the couple — who are currently both 30 with no children — estimates they’ll need to reach financial independence. For them, that means “being able to make changes in our life, whether that means taking a sabbatical for six months or doing another career change just because we can. That’s what we’re interested in, and not having to worry about where the money is coming from,” Bhaloo tells CNBC Make It. With around $885,500 currently invested, they’re well on their way. Bhaloo and Desai both came into the relationship with healthy financial habits. But as they’ve grown together and gotten married, they’ve been focusing on establishing and chasing money goals as a team. Together, they earned $227,071 in 2023. Bhaloo brought in $69,314 between working part-time while finishing her master’s of business administration in the beginning of the year and going full-time in July. Her annual salary is $125,000. Desai earned around $158,000 working in tech. And while they’re working hard to reach financial independence, they’re not excessively limiting their lifestyle now to get there. “You should be able to enjoy your life and experience all the things that you want to experience,” Bhaloo says. “You can have [your] investments go to work for you while you’re enjoying [life] and spending on the things that you love.” Three degrees, debt-free Holding two master’s degrees and a bachelor’s, Bhaloo is fortunate to not have any debt from her academic journey. A full-ride scholarship paid for her undergraduate studies and part of her master’s in public health from Boston University, where she graduated in 2016. Her parents helped cover the rest of the costs of her graduate studies at BU. To earn her MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business in 2023 without taking on debt, Bhaloo relied on a combination of scholarships, savings, part-time jobs and help from her parents. She earned $80,000 a year prior to starting business school. By working part-time during school, she wasn’t just earning money — around $30,000 during her first year — but valuable connections as well. The internship she held during her second year turned into a full-time job with the same company she works for now. “My parents have always really emphasized education over anything else,” Bhaloo says. “They were very willing and happy to help pay for my tuition and living expenses.” Bhaloo and Desai got married as she was finishing her MBA in 2023. Soon after, Desai decided he wanted to go to business school himself. Although the couple’s finances were separate and Desai didn’t support Bhaloo financially while she was in school since they weren’t yet married, he provided much-needed encouragement and care. “Neil was super supportive in making sure that I had everything that I needed at home taken care of so that I could focus on school and making this big life change,” Bhaloo says. Things are different now that the couple is married while Desai is in business school. Desai and his parents are paying for his tuition, so it has factored into the couple’s joint budget. That’s OK with Bhaloo — she says this step for Desai has helped them shape up their future plans. “Now that I’m done with school and Neil is in school, we’ve been able to plan [for the future] a little bit more and think, ‘We’re married now, what are our goals as a couple?’” she says. How they spend their money As they identify their goals, the couple has made it priority to live below their means. They could afford to rent a larger apartment, for example, but choose to stay in their current place, Bhaloo says. The couple “constantly evaluates” how much they feel comfortable spending on rent or a future mortgage. The $3,300 monthly rent for their 2-bedroom apartment is a little higher than Chicago’s average of $2,744 among 2-bedroom units, according to Zumper. But it’s still just 17% of Bhaloo and Desai’s annual joint earnings — well below the expert recommendation to keep your rent at or below 30% of your income. ″[Rent] is such a big portion of your expenditures that if you can control that number, then you can set up the rest of your year to spend on the other things that you enjoy doing,” Bhaloo says. Here’s how Bhaloo and Desai spent their money in September 2023:)

NEW YORK TIMES
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats hate tests because Democrats get lower scores on tests than Republicans do. That frustrates Democrat efforts to give preference to Democrats. My Democrat IRS superiors were beyond furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30. My Democrat coworkers either had not taken the examination or failed it. My Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. None of my Democrat GAO coworkers had taken the examination let alone passed it. Further, Democrats hate tests because those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, and especially those who are Black or Hispanic, get lower scores on tests than those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-investigates/migrant-enrollment-in-cps-rises-a-look-at-what-it-means-for-the-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the last year, thousands of newly arrived migrant students have enrolled at Chicago Public Schools. Students and school administrators have had to adjust to the sudden changes adding bilingual teachers and resources to help students with their new surroundings. Barbara Quijada is an 8th grader at Ogden International’s Jenner Academy who arrived from Venezuela in July. That school has enrolled an estimated 80 new migrant students this year. Barbara is considered a role model for many of her newly arrived classmates. Not only is she thriving academically but was recently selected to do the school announcements in Spanish. William Calderon is Barbara’s teacher. “She wanted to be part of a community,” he said. “She had that special thing that when you see someone you know.” The 13-year-old spent at least a month sleeping outside the Near North police station while attending school. The family of one of her classmates decided to welcome her into their home until her parents find permanent shelter. It’s estimated that 20 percent of the nearly 30,000 migrant arrivals are children and hundreds are enrolled in Chicago Public Schools across the city. WGN Investigates found that as of September – the English Learners program at CPS increased by 11 percent – up from just over 72,000 in the 2022-23 school year to nearly 80,000 this year.

(COMMENT: How has your high school faired since you graduated? I graduated from Crete-Monee in 1966. Even though I was not viewed as being “college material,” my outstanding teachers enabled me get an ACT score of 24 and graduate in the upper 20% of my class. But sadly, since then, relatively few of my 1966 classmates earned bachelor’s degrees and even fewer earned master’s degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses like I did.)

They did that because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They did that so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did.

https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2024/01/09/the_economics_of_modern_affirmative_action_beneficiaries_1003596.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Critiques of Claudine Gay noted her thin publication record that enabled her to gain tenure at Stanford and then Harvard. They only lightly touch on her ability to gain admittance to Harvard’s undergraduate program: Her wealthy black immigrant parents and enrollment at an elite prep school (Exeter). This background had become increasingly commonplace at Ivy League universities, especially Harvard. U.S. affirmative action policies did not make distinctions within the black population. As a result, descendants of twentieth-century black immigrants were the major beneficiaries of affirmative action at the most elite universities. Highly selective colleges increasingly have admitted the sons and daughters of voluntary black immigrants to the U.S., rather than descendants of enslaved blacks forcibly brought to America’s shores; and a disproportionate share, like Gay, attended elite private prep schools. As a result, black students from immigrant families comprise over 40 percent of the Ivy League black student population even though they are only 10 percent of the U.S. black population.)

Immigrants lack education and job skills. They want/need/demand massive government assistance. They have severe financial, health, and other problems. Further, employers want cheap labor. Immigrants work for less money than Americans. So of course, employers dump their employees who are citizens of America and replace them with lower-paid immigrants. If there were as many immigrants in America when I was young as there are today, they would have gotten the jobs that I got or my wages would have been much lower.)

— I.R.S. to Begin Trial of Its Own Free Tax-Filing System. Residents of 12 states are eligible to participate if they meet certain criteria. But the agency’s plans have already met resistance from tax preparation companies. – Ann Carrns (COMMENT: As long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax. In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me. Again, as long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax.)

But instead, the forced me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer because I was male, White, old (31), conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America for a long time. Further, I had complained at IRS about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. To justify the pay cut, they ignored, dismissed, and belittled the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 year, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)

— AUTOMAKERS BEGIN PAYING $50K RETIREMENT INCENTIVE TO UAW WORKERS – Brett Foote (COMMENT: In 1993, when I was a 45-year-old GAO employee who had 25 years of federal service, the Democrats who ran GAO used Republican-led budget cuts to “offer” its employees who had 25 years of federal service $25,000 if they took their early retirement “offer.” They did that to get rid of eligible employees a) who they had not promoted into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year), b) who did not have a degree from an Ivy League university, and/or c) who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)

— Tax season 2024: Due dates and when IRS will start accepting tax returns (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the Centiphone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, and/or veteran. To get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ). They made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me not only for the aforesaid reasons, but because I had complained about their ever-increasingly giving more and more and more preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. The aforesaid adverse actions were a big reason why I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. In 1986, after I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, the GAO manager who arranged my transfer finally succeed in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and in promoting me to GS-13. But because of that, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987.)

— WTTW advisory board’s annual report filled with ‘concerns’ – Corli Jay
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/marketing-media/wttw-advisory-boards-annual-report-filled-concerns#/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interview with Crain’s, Joseph Morris, chairman of the WTTW community advisory board, said the station’s management has not been transparent and has been ignoring their questions for data on program viewership, adding that they were “blindsided” by the changes in the time slot as well as the time frame of the show. “The viewing public was blindsided and had to work to find where ‘Chicago Tonight’ was on the schedule. It wasn’t where you expected it to be,” Morris said. “And that was a puzzle. We shouldn’t make it hard for the people of Chicago to find our programs; we should make it very easy.” Morris says the concerns all stem from making sure that “Chicago Tonight” can remain the flagship program for the station. . .Speaking on the board’s involvement with the station, Morris said that in the past the board’s recommendations were adopted. The rebranding of the journalistic operations as WTTW News and updating the title of executive producer of “Chicago Tonight” to director of the WTTW News Department were examples given in the report. Morris added that experimentation can be good but says the board just asks for more transparency from the station. . .”We’re asking for transparency because we love the place . . . we love the people who work there, we want them to succeed,” said Morris.)

— Cost to apply, demand explain why only 1% of migrants in Chicago have work permits – SABRINA FRANZA (COMMENT: Ald. Bill Conway (34th) says “the jobs are there.” Exactly what jobs?

What education, work experience, health, language, and other qualifications do illegals have? What do those jobs pay? What benefits do they come with? What advancement opportunities do they offer? What are the working conditions? Do illegals want these jobs? Will illegals take these jobs? Why are these jobs unfilled? Are they bad jobs that Americans refuse to take? Did you take bad jobs that your peers refused to take? I did. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxers 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/migrant-work-permit-cost/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTjKWr49mrE
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number really boils down to three things: the cost of the application, the availability of documents, and the significant demand. “So, the jobs are there. We just have to get them the right status,” said Ald. Bill Conway (34th), explaining why so few asylum seekers have received their work permits. “The only ones eligible are people that were here before August 1st and that are from Venezuela, essentially.” The cost to fill out the application is over $400. There is a form to waive that cost. Conway’s office has helped some asylum seekers fill that out as part of a 31-page application to get the permit. Turnaround time is about two months. “The demand is extremely high compared to how much work permits are actually being processed and distributed,” said Emilio Araujo, the director of development and communications at Onward House. The nonprofit organization has helped countless immigrants resettle not just over the past two years, but during its decades-long history. “When someone comes to the city and they are looking to get find their footing, we are one of the first places that they might go because we do all the case management support,” Araujo. CBS 2 spoke to Araujo about the demand for work permits that Onward House has been seeing after CBS 2 was shown city data suggesting only 1% of asylum seekers in Chicago successfully received their work authorizations and social security numbers. “About 90% of the people that we see, of the new immigrants, are looking for a work permit, and we refer those out, and then about 10% of those people end up actually applying for a work permit, and then only 1% as well end up having that work permit,” Araujo said. A spokesperson with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office said the city has been helping asylum seekers apply for work permits since 2022 and has partnered with the state, nonprofits and the federal government to expedite the application process. The city began expedited clinics in partnership with The Resurrection Project and the state and federal government to help migrants with the application on Nov. 9. “The City is committed to providing the necessary resources to aid asylum-seekers on their path to self-sufficiency and independence,” the spokesperson said. Conway is planning to host another legal clinic later this month to help more asylum seekers fill out an application.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/2/24017662/chicago-migrant-crisis-president-biden-immigration-federal-funding-major-johnson-editorial
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Disburse migrants nationwide. . .The mayors also want the Biden administration to create a federally-run system to fairly disburse migrants to locations across the country, ending ‘Air Abbott’ and his politically motivated transport policies that have dropped off migrants in cities with no advance warning. . .Meanwhile, Abbott isn’t sending his buses and planes to St. Louis, a city that is actively courting migrants and asylum seekers in a bid to turn back decades of population loss and to bring potential new workers into the region. All of this is a good reason for the federal government — not Abbott — to handle migrant relocation. “We need action and we need it now,” Adams said. “We are calling for the federal declaration of emergency, financial support and a national resettlement strategy.”)

https://patch.com/illinois/highlandpark/assault-weapon-registration-deadline-passes-court-challenges-remain
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are 2.4 million people in Illinois with firearm owners identification, or FOID, cards. Of those, fewer than 30,000 individuals had registered a banned item with state authorities, according to the latest update from Illinois State Police. That means about 1 in 82 FOID cardholders had complied with the law, but there is no available data on how many owned banned guns in the first place or how many chose to take them to another state rather than register their serial numbers in a state database. . .”Historically, registration has led to confiscation, and as an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you. We respect that,” Pearson said. “We are currently preparing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, asking the Supreme Court to declare the entire law unconstitutional. We believe the court will rule in our favor.” . . . Many cities and counties in the Chicago area have had ordinances on the books for years banning assault weapons. But they have hardly, if ever, been enforced because most of the time law enforcement encounters a restricted assault weapon they are either being used by someone who does not have a FOID card or is committing some other crime. Nearly three quarters of Illinois sheriffs came out against the law last year, declaring they would not enforce it. None of them have publicly reversed course. Pritzker characterized it as “political grandstanding” and pledged that state police would still be able to penalize those who violate the gun and magazine ban.)

https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/653469177-chicago-alderman-why-aren-t-dupage-suburbs-keeping-illegal-aliens-to-care-for-themselves
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid the ongoing illegal immigration crisis, Chicago’s 15th Ward Alderman and candidate for the 4th Congressional District, Ray Lopez, is questioning Illinois’ status as the “most welcoming state” while raising concerns about human trafficking affecting Chicago. Lopez directed pointed questions at his fellow Democrats. “If Illinois is the ‘most welcoming state’ in the nation, how is it other cities can continue the human trafficking to Chicago? How are @GovPritzker & @ILAttyGeneral allowing them to subvert the spirit of the law? Why is @ChicagosMayor not decrying these mayors for adding to our city’s burden?” Lopez asked on X. Following the City of Chicago’s ordinance outlawing unscheduled buses from dropping off illegal immigrants, DuPage County in particular has been seeing nearly a dozen buses per day in some cases dropping off hundreds of illegal immigrants traveling to the area from Texas. In many cases those dumped in DuPage County are then boarding trains bound for Chicago. On Face the Nation over the weekend Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson pleaded for federal government funds to handle the influx of illegal immigrants. “What we have is clearly an international and federal crisis that local governments are being asked to subsidize. And this is unsustainable. None of our local economies are positioned to be able to carry on such a mission,” Johnson said. Johnson’s recent comments run counter to those he made while running for the mayor’s office in March 2023. “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city,” Johnson said in a tweet at the time. “Longtime Chicagoans don’t have to lose for new arrivals to gain — there’s enough space at the table for all of us to sit and eat.” “Immigrants are welcome here.” Lopez has been consistently outspoken on the illegal immigration issue. In December he emphasized the escalating southern border situation as a national security concern. He criticized the Biden Administration and Congress, dismissing accusations of racism from his March 19 congressional primary opponent U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.) as a distraction. Lopez has said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are responsible for border challenges, expressing frustration with the lack of accountability towards Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He linked the border crisis to the recent death of a five-year-old boy at a migrant shelter in Pilsen, Chicago, and vowed to bring common sense to the Democratic Party on the issue. In the fall, following a contentious Chicago City Council, Lopez criticized aggressive tactics and harassment, singling out Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the Floor Leader for Mayor Johnson, for his behavior during the proceedings as the city council discussed a referendum to repeal Chicago’s “sanctuary city” status. Lopez emphasized the connection between the city’s Welcoming City Ordinance and the influx of asylum-seekers and underscored the need for Chicagoans to have a say in the matter. Lopez accused the mayor’s team of bending rules and obstructing the proceedings. Ramirez-Rosa later stepped down due to the criticisms. However, the attempt to bring the matter to the voters was ultimately unsuccessful. Lopez has represented the 15th Ward since 2015. The 4th Congressional District includes the Chicago neighborhoods of Brighton Park, West Elsdon, and South Lawndale; most of New City, Pilsen, Chicago Lawn, Clearing, Garfield Ridge and Bridgeport; the Cook County communities of Burbank, Berwyn, Cicero, Brookfield, LaGrange Park, Northlake, Melrose Park, Berkeley and Franklin Park; and the DuPage County communities of Hinsdale, Elmhurst and Oak Brook.)

RELOAD
— One in Twenty Americans Own an AR-15 – Jake Fogleman
https://thereload.com/poll-one-in-twenty-americans-own-an-ar-15/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tens of millions of Americans own an AR-15. That’s according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll released on Monday. The poll surveyed Americans more broadly to gauge gun ownership and found that 31 percent of adults report owning guns. Of those, the poll found that 20 percent own an AR-15 rifle. “Taken together, the polls find that 6 percent of Americans own an AR-15, about 1 in 20,” Post reporter Emily Guskin wrote. “The data suggests that with a U.S. population of 260.8 million adults, about 16 million Americans own an AR-15.” The survey is the latest evidence to confirm the popularity of AR-15s and similar rifles, often dubbed “assault weapons” by critics, among the American gun-owning public. The extent of their ownership could factor heavily in the political debate over their continued legality as multiple blue states mull bans and gun rights groups prepare to contest them. That finding provides new insight into ownership of the popular rifle, which is valued by gun-rights advocates for its versatility and modularity but reviled by gun-control activists for its use by shooters in a number of high-profile attacks. The poll’s estimates land in the ballpark of previous estimates. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has previously estimated that there are over 24.4 million AR-15s and similar rifles—which it calls “modern sporting rifles”—in civilian hands as of 2022. The National Firearms Survey, conducted in 2021 by Georgetown professor William English, found that 30.2% of gun owners, about 24.6 million people, indicated owning an AR-15 or similarly styled rifle. In its landmark Heller decision, the Supreme Court found that the Second Amendment protects arms “in common use” by “law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Whether ownership among tens of millions of Americans is enough to fall into that camp may help determine the constitutionality of AR-15 bans. Although, a federal judge in Delaware ruled on Monday that state’s ban can stand despite the popularity of the rifle. Self-defense was the most popular reason AR-15 owners in the poll gave for buying the gun. Around one-third listed it as the main reason for ownership, but nearly two-thirds said that it was “a major reason” for purchasing the rifle. Other popular answers given in roughly equal numbers included recreation, target shooting, hunting, and exercising their Second Amendment rights. The poll found that AR-15 owners were around 20 percent more likely to be male than other gun owners and 30 percent more likely to be male than the U.S. adult population. Only 19 percent of AR-15 owners self-identified as female. AR-15 owners were also more likely than the adult population as a whole, and about equally likely as other gun owners, to be white. Three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they were white, while 11 percent said they were Hispanic, and nine percent said they were black. AR-15 owners were also more likely to live in a suburban area, have a higher income, identify as politically Independent, and fall between the ages of 40-64 than other gun owners and the population as a whole. They were also significantly more likely to have served in the military, though nearly three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they had not served. The poll identified a regional divide in AR-15 ownership as well. Nearly half of all AR-15 owners reported living in the South, while roughly one-quarter and one-fifth reported living in the West and Midwest, respectively. Only ten percent of AR-15 owners said they lived in the Northeast. This Washington Post-Ipsos poll was conducted from September 30-October 11, 2022, among a random national sample of 2,104 gun owners, including 399 AR-15-style rifle owners. The margin of error for the sample of AR-15-style rifle owners is 5.5 points.)
