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? According to my critics/opponents, a) I have always been privileged because I am White, male, old (born in 1948), heterosexual, non-veteran (draft avoider), married (since 1978), childless, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time and b) I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid. 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.)

(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.)

(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.
