— What’s your Chicago story? We want to hear it. – Mary Mitchell (COMMEMT: What is your Chicago story? My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated to Chicago from what is mow Germany in 1844, worked in a brick factory there for 10 years, and then homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township. My Chicago Democrat IRS and GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS’s Chicago offices 1971-1980 and then for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997. I lived in Chicago part-time in 1971 and 1974-1976 and then full-time 1976-1978. I took college courses in Chicago 1966-1968, 1971-1981, and 1992-1997. I earned master’s degrees in Chicago in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in Chicago in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in Chicago in 1981. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in 1971 and my 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1973. I got married in Chicago in 1978. My wife and I were the subject of a nasty 4-page Money Magazine article in Chicago in February of 1978.)

I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years when I was 31. I had worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years when I was 49. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

Relevant skills: 65% of hiring managers would consider candidates with relevant skills over those with an extensive employment history or academic credentials—even if they lack work experience. . .4.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My precinct letter is below. I am in the process of hand-delivering it to each of the homes in my new precinct from which one or more Republican ballot was cast in the March 19, 2024 primary. A very powerful Republican DuPage County official who I have done lots to help elect and to help reelect for decades has rudely severely criticized my letter. This official rudely said this official threw it away. This official rudely complained that I have not given that official any money. This official reads my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, I believe, to get information to use against me. This official’s many operatives and dupes have taken many/big adverse actions against me for decades including a) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, c) ending my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, d) ending my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, and f) crushing my campaign for MTRO treasure in 2004. This official rejects the planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote. This official paints me as being “too conservative” and blames me and my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. This official wants Republican candidates to run as anti-conservative, as Democrat Lite, and/or as anti-Republican. How would you react to this official if you were me? – Dave Diersen

— Zay reelected DuPage GOP Chairman, Wilkens elected Secretary. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I hope that the DuPage GOP will encourage Republican candidates and elected officials a) to promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, illegal drugs, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and b) to stress the terrible problems caused by Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. At the DuPage County Republican Central Committee 2024 Biennial County Convention in Wheaton Wednesday evening, April 17, 2024, Jim Zay was reelected Chairman and Deanna Wilkens was elected Secretary. Attendees included Kory Atkinson, PJ Augustynowicz, Bob Berlin, Greg Boltz, Larrisa Calvanese, Lori Carlson, Annette Corrigan, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Mike Flynn, Bob Grogan, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Bill Hogan, Jeanne Ives, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Bob Larsen, Robert Margetts, James Mendrick, Gary Muehlfelt, Al Murphy, Mike Mussen, Nicole Prater, Kenton Skarin, and Jim Zay.

— Meet the Republican Candidates for State Auditor and Treasurer – Melissa Rosales (COMMENT: I have always advocated that political organizations should use budgeting for panning purposes. Because of my qualifications to serve as auditor and treasurer, my critics/opponents have always focused on turning against me those who share my qualifications. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a Licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Service Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 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. I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I have served as the treasurer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition and Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. I should write about those who have worked the hardest against me. I could focus on those who worked against me the hardest when I unsuccessfully ran for the Milton Township Republican Organization Treasurer position in 2004.)

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Evanston City Council to discuss hosting temporary migrant shelter – ALEX HULVALCHICK (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs: Evanston today, your municipality tomorrow.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/04/08/evanston-city-council-to-discuss-hosting-temporary-migrant-shelter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Evanston City Council on Monday is set to discuss applying for Cook County funding to provide temporary shelter for displaced migrants sent to Chicagoland from the southern border. The funding is available for the housing of “new arrivals,” defined by the county as “an individual who crossed the Mexico/U.S. border on or after August 1, 2022, with the intent to stay permanently, and who does not possess any permanent or interim U.S. legal status (which does not include being in parole status), such as legal permanent residency, a student or work visa, etc.” Funding can be used to pay for rent, repairs and improvements to make sites operational for use as temporary shelters including food, wraparound and resettlement services. Estimated operating costs would reach approximately $2 million, not including necessary repairs. Applications for the funding are due April 19. According to a memo in the Monday meeting agenda, the city hasn’t previously considered applying for the funding because it wasn’t aware of any properties vacant or safe enough that would suffice. The city was notified on March 28 of a possible site with city staff and the Evanston Fire Department inspecting the property Wednesday. This site, located at 1020 Church Street, is a two-story office space with enough open space and smaller offices to house anywhere from 60 to 65 individuals along with a kitchenette, two shower stalls and multiple restrooms. Before being able to take anyone in, the building will require several repairs including installation of a fire sprinkler system wherever people are expected to sleep, more bathroom and shower stalls, upgrades to electrical and HVAC systems and more. Another possible site mentioned in the memo is the soon-to-be vacant Morton Civic Center, where city operations are currently housed. City offices are set to move to a leased office downtown starting in July and could house more people than the office building at 1020 Church Street. Since the city owns the building, grant funding wouldn’t have to be used to pay rent and could be used solely for repairs that are needed in the building. Those repairs were the driving force behind moving city operations downtown as the city wasn’t open to spending the money needed to bring the building up to par. The city reached out to Connections for the Homeless, a local homelessness nonprofit, to take on the role of managing the shelter. Connections’ Director of Communications Eric Ruder said the nonprofit welcomes conversations about partnering with the city on the shelter. Connections CEO Betty Bog said it’s important to take every opportunity to build more shelter to supplement the severe housing shortage. “Many in the Evanston community and staff have been searching for ways to assist new arrivals,” read the memo, “Applying for grant dollars to convert space into a temporary shelter could move the City toward managing a transitional shelter at 1020 Church indefinitely — on the one hand, this could be an asset to the City … on the other hand, it could place meaningful strain on the City.”)

https://southernillinoisnow.com/2024/04/09/judge-releases-questionnaire-for-jury-selection-process-in-trump-hush-money-trial/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Prosecutive jurors will be asked if they have ever attended one of Trump’s rallies, if they belong to groups like the Proud Boys or Antifa, or if they volunteered with a political entity associated with the former president. “Do you have any strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about whether a former president may be criminally charged in a state court?” one question asks. “Do you have any feelings about how Mr. Trump is being treated in this case?” Other questions ask if prosecutive jurors have read any of Trump’s books, can set aside their past knowledge of the case, or have opinions on the legal limits related to political contributions. “Do you have any strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about former President Donald Trump or the fact that he is a current candidate for president that would interfere with your ability to be a fair or impartial juror?” another question asked. Jurors will also be asked standard preliminary questions, including their marital status, employment status, hobbies, criminal history and potential scheduling conflicts. Merchan, borrowing from an approach taken for the Trump Organization criminal trial, opted to excuse any jurors who self-identify as unfair or partial.)

They stress that I demonstrated no leadership potential while I was in high school. They stress that I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. They stress that after I graduated, I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail. They stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and that my mother never attended high school.)

— In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, what would you have done sooner? I would have majored in accounting and passed the CPA examination and became a licensed CPA sooner. As it was, I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30 years old and I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), I was much “too old” to have a successful career in accounting. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors made that crystal clear. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had. Overwhelmingly, they were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

I am proud to say that my wife earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986. Obviously, her savings and income helped us financially.)

DAILY MAIL
— Ex-Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot is hired on $400-PER-HOUR contract to investigate ‘America’s worst mayor’ amid embezzlement accusations after she admitted $2M hole in taxpayer funds from small Illinois town. Self-described ‘Super Mayor’ Tiffany Henyard, 40, has been accused of embezzling taxpayer funds and retaliating against a victim of sexual assault. Lightfoot – who was ousted as mayor of Chicago last year – was approved by the village to investigate Henyard’s alleged corruption at the cost of $400 per hour. She may not get very far, however, as Henyard’s mayoral powers extend to potentially vetoing the probe. – STEPHEN M. LEPORE

Toward the end, there were virtually no Republicans. If I was still working there, they would be making my life even more of a living hell for me because I have always been a conservative Republican, and on top of that. I am White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, Protestant,100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I am weary of hearing the trope that we need more illegal aliens because “Americans won’t work those jobs.” My bet is that most Americans share this sentiment as well. Amidst a myriad of concerns about illegal immigration, one prominent worry among Americans is the potential adverse effects on the U.S. workforce. There is apprehension that undocumented migrants could potentially displace native-born workers, leading to job loss and further exacerbating the nation’s tax burden. The media and the left love to dismiss such considerations as fearful, xenophobic, and bigoted, arguing instead that alien workers fill a vital gap in the American workforce. But these concerns, nevertheless, are valid. To argue that the American people refuse to work jobs that must alternatively be filled by undocumented workers is nothing less than a slanderous attack against the natives of this country. Americans will work these jobs… when the pay rates go to market rates and are not depressed by illegal-alien rates.)
— Biden Went To The Mat For Young Voters On Student Loans. Now They’re Abandoning Him – MARY LOU MASTERS (COMMENT: Did you have to work your way through college? I did. If I had not had to do that, I would not have a) washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights four evenings a week and Saturdays during my junior and senior years at Crete Monee High School (CMHS) 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between. I would not have cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, or pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966. I would not have worked all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. I would not have worked on the auto assembly line in Belvidere in 1970. Instead, I would have studied and my GPA at CMHS, UIC, and NIU would have been much higher and my Federal Service Entrance Examination score would have been much higher. I would have majored in accounting instead of management. Nevertheless, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What should the new Illinois Republican Party platform do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

The new Illinois Republican Party platform should:

— Promote personal responsibility and oppose the promotion of dependency on government and charity,
— Promote traditional marriage and family and oppose the promotion of LGBTQ,
— Promote right to life and oppose the promotion of abortion,
— Promote legal immigration and oppose the promotion of illegal immigration,
— Promote the avoidance of vice and oppose the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
— Promote Second Amendment rights and oppose diminishment of those rights, and
— Promote equal opportunity and oppose race and gender based preference giving.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Wrong reasons to get involved in Republican politics – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

Wrong reasons to get involved in Republican politics are to get the Republican Party to:

— Dump its personal responsibility plank and instead promote dependency on government and charity,
— Dump its traditional marriage and family plank and instead promote LGBTQ,
— Dump its right to life plank and instead promote abortion,
— Dump its immigration plank and instead promote mass/illegal immigration,
— Dump its illegal drugs plank and instead promote booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
— Dump its Second Amendment plank and instead promote gun control,
— Dump its equal opportunity plank and instead promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination,
— Get more preference for themselves and for those who share their demographics,
— Make money, and/or
— Get power to reward and destroy people, organizations, companies, etc.

Based on what I have seen as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, far too many in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have been and are involved in Republican politics for the aforesaid wrong reasons.

I should write a book about them.

I would focus on those who have done the most to make the Republican Party the “Democrat Lite” Party.

I would focus on those who proudly paint themselves as being RINOs, that is, as being anti-conservative and anti-Republican.

I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

I would focus on those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.

I would focus on those who 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 wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

I would focus on those who have done the most to drive out of the Republican Party those who share my demographics.

I would focus on those who have demonstrated the most hatred against Trump.

I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

CNBC
— 26-year-old is one of first Gen Z women to hold public office in the U.S., works at Google and is getting her MBA—how she balances it all. – Morgan Smith
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/30/meet-bushra-amiwala-one-of-the-first-gen-z-women-to-hold-public-office-in-the-us.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bushra Amiwala lost her first race for political office when she was 20 years old. Six months later, she ran again and won, becoming one of the first Gen Z elected officials in the U.S. — all while being a full-time college student. When Amiwala, then 21, was elected to the Skokie School District Board of Education in Skokie, Illinois in 2019, she also became one of the youngest Muslim elected officials in the U.S. Her first race, which she lost in 2018, was to become a Cook County commissioner, a part of the local legislative body for the county that includes Chicago. Amiwala, who grew up and attended school in Skokie, thought a local school board might be a better fit for her interests and experience after losing her first race. But she didn’t see working in local politics as a calling, or the start of a long career in government that could lead her to the White House – two reasons, Amiwala says, why people often assume she got involved in politics at such a young age. Amiwala studied business at DePaul University and planned to work for a large tech or financial firm as soon as she graduated. Instead, Amiwala viewed serving in public office as a meaningful way to spend her free time and an opportunity to peek behind the curtain of American politics. As a first-generation child of Pakistani immigrants, Amiwala says she’s always had a vested interest in supporting underrepresented communities. That passion intensified during the 2016 presidential election when hate crimes against Muslims spiked.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Meet the typical Swiftie: A white suburban millennial woman who may have spent $1,300 to go to the Eras Tour. Swifties skew female, Democratic, millennial, and likely live in the suburbs. – Juliana Kaplan
https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-swifties-white-millennial-suburban-democrat-50k-eras-tour-2023-11
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Swifties lean female and white, make under $50,000, and are suburban millennials. Just under three-quarters of self-identifying avid Swift fans are white, while 13% are Black and 9% are Asian, according to Morning Consult’s survey. Additionally, while Swift fans skew female, 48% of those Swift fans are male. Similarly, avid Swift fans are concentrated in the suburbs, with 55% living in suburban communities, and a fairly even split among urban and rural areas; 26% are city dwellers, while 21% are rural. And, in line with Swift’s own political proclamations, 55% of avid Swift fans are Democrats. The remainder of the fans are equally split among identifying as Republicans and independents. What’s more, even as many Swift fans are spending thousands on the Eras Tour, most are not high-earners. Just about half of Swift fans make under $50,000, while 25% make between $50,000 and $100,000, and the other quarter make $100,000 or more. That’s a fairly stark figure when compared to the $1,300 that Swifties spend on average to attend the Eras Tour, per research company QuestionPro. However, while some Swifties that Business Insider previously spoke to said they were spending several thousand dollars to attend the Eras Tour, some were able to keep their costs in the hundreds. Swifties also lean millennial, with that generation making up 45% of self-proclaimed avid fans. Additionally, 23% of those fans are baby boomers, and 21% are Gen X. Meanwhile, just 11% of that fan group are Gen Z. However, Briggs noted that the survey only took the pulse of Americans 18 or older — meaning that the younger Gen Z contingent is not necessarily reflected. “Millennials are in their peak spending years in a lot of ways,” Toplin said. “They’re in the workforce. They own homes, they’re earning money, they have income to spend.” And Briggs noted that TikTok has been a big driver of the culture of the Eras Tour, from friendship bracelets to showing off outfits. That may mean that Swift has cultivated more of a Gen Z fanbase since the time of the survey. “​​It’s a perfect storm of cultural happenings to keep the conversation going,” Briggs said. “I think Gen Z, if we ran this survey again right now, it would be definitely a higher share.”)

However, if I had to sell that town home, I would have had to sell it at a loss. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728 in 1971, $66,942 in 1972, and $80,994 in 1973. Of course, according to my critics/opponents I was grossly overpaid and promoted far too fast. In my defense, I completed four graduate evening business courses a year at Loyola in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1975. Further, I successfully completed a major developmental assignment during 1973 and 1974.)

Good. – David Blobaum (COMMENT: I was able to get an ACT score of 24 thanks to my outstanding parents who sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, and to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. 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 was able to get that score even though instead of studying, I washed dishes for the minimum wage ($12.41/hour in today’s dollars) in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights evenings and Saturdays during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee and full-time during the summer of 1965. I used the money that I earned and saved to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966 to commute to/from classes at UIC.)

— Migrants begin moving out of five Chicago Park District shelters. More than 730 asylum seekers are expected to be moved from five Chicago Park District locations in the coming weeks: Brands Park, Gage Park, Leone Beach Boathouse, Broadway Armory Park and Piotrowski Park. – Violet Miller (COMMENT: How many of these illegals will end up in your county, township, municipality, and school district? If there had been as many immigrants when I was young, they would have gotten the bad jobs that I got, and if not that, my pay would have been less because immigrants drive wages down.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2024/03/30/migrants-move-chicago-park-district
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Torres said the only reason they’re still relying on city shelters is because he hasn’t received federal authorization to work — a process that can drag on for months. “We need a work permit for everyone to be able to become independent from the shelters,” Torres told a reporter through a translator. “We are all in the shelters because we do not have a work permit to be able to depend on ourselves.” When asked what work he would like to do, he replied simply: “Anything.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Understanding the Democrats’ immigration strategy – Amil Imani
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/03/understanding_the_democrats_immigration_strategy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democrats’ unrelenting focus on immigration, particularly the issue of uncontrolled immigration, is cause for concern that goes beyond mere debate and speculation. Beneath the surface, posturing lies a deception that extends beyond the mere games of representation and power in the United States. The Democrats’ emphasis on immigration is not a mere coincidence or a short-term political maneuver. Rather, it is deeply rooted in their long-term vision of reshaping the demographic and political landscape of the United States. By advocating for more inclusive immigration policies, the Democrats aim to solidify their support base and gain a strategic advantage in future elections.)

— Washington Post takes aim at ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ writer Francis Scott Key after namesake Baltimore bridge collapse. Because of his mixed record on racial issues, monuments to Key have been defaced, and critics have called for institutions named after him to be renamed. – Madeline Martin
https://thepostmillennial.com/washington-post-takes-aim-at-star-spangled-banner-writer-francis-scott-key-after-namesake-baltimore-bridge-collapse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, however, the Washington Post decided that there was a more important discussion to be had. You see the bridge collapse and the deaths and the horror and thee economic impact don’t translate to racial injustice, inclusivity or reparations and that simply would not suffice for the newspaper darling of the leftist gestapo. And so it followed that the Washington Post frankensteined together their own special contribution to the annals of history that will one day recount the tragedy. The issue here was the man who the bridge was named after, one Francis Key Scott. This was the real meat of the story, the rest just gristle and unsavory bits to be butchered out by WaPo the Woke. And so by Wednesday, the Washington Post’s London correspondent Annabelle Timsit had penned an article titled “Who was Francis Scott Key, controversial poet the bridge is named after?” Francis Scott Key is best known for writing the poem that became America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” He wrote the lyrics the morning after an 1814 British attack on Fort McHenry, which is right by the collapsed bridge. “As The Washington Post previously reported, ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ did not become the national anthem until more than a century after it was written because of controversy, partly over Key’s racist views,” the Post wrote. “One section of the poem’s third verse, in particular, has come under scrutiny from those who say it was intended to mock or threaten African Americans who escaped slavery to join the British forces, after being promised land in exchange for their service,” the paper continued. The verse in question reads, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And The Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The Post also reminded readers that Key was a slave owner who opposed abolition and made racist remarks about black people. However, the paper also acknowledged that critics have pointed out that as a lawyer, Key defended several slaves, and he freed several of his own slaves. Because of his mixed record on racial issues, monuments to Key have been defaced, and critics have called for institutions named after him to be renamed. In 2017, vandals defaced the Francis Scott Key Monument in Baltimore with red paint and spray-painted “Racist Anthem” and “blood on his hands.”)

Murkowski is among the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack and became a target for Trump and his allies.)

I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. Gattis died on July 5, 1967 from injuries he suffered in his first deployment in Quang Tri province. My critics/opponents stressed that unlike Gattis who enlisted, I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. When Gattis died, I was working for the Park Forest Post Office, earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension, and driving a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. My critics/opponents stressed that I paint myself as being conservative, Republican, and patriotic. They stressed that because of my health problems, if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. I could not run because I had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. They painted me as being a big coward and a big hypocrite. They stressed that because I avoided the draft, I was able to buy a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 and that I drove that Charger from NIU to Florida for spring breaks in 1969 and 1970. They called me “Daytona Dave.” The Vietnam War did not end until April 30, 1975. Prior to then, while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I bought a new 1972 Covette in 1971. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974. I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, in 1974. I completed 13 graduate evening business courses at Loyola. I went on vacations to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaica.)

— ‘708’ mental health taxing boards: Are Illinois voters schizoid or just depressed? – Mark Glennon
https://wirepoints.org/708-mental-health-taxing-boards-are-illinois-voters-schizoid-or-just-depressed-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why would anybody in Illinois vote to create a new taxing authority to add to property tax bills? With property taxes being the second highest among the states and with polls consistently saying they are a top voter concern, you wouldn’t think such a thing could pass in a referendum anywhere the state. But many Illinois townships and counties vote to do just that, creating what are called “708 boards.” The boards are specifically empaneled to address local mental health needs and can only be created by local voter referendums. Some 90 of them now exist, according to a group called Advocate for 708. Proponents say they help fill gaps in available mental health services. Panel members are appointed by township or county boards, which also approve grants. The 708 boards are taxing jurisdictions with their own power to levy a local property tax of up to 0.15% of assessed value. The cap is set by state law. That’s typically a small amount for an average homeowner, supporters say – “less than the price of a weekly cup of coffee ($1.85),” according to Advocate for 708. Illinois, however, is already notorious for the number of different units of government it has – 8,923 by one count – far more than any other state. A new 708 panel means another line item on property tax bills.)

Those adverse actions include a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoting me, d) delaying my promotions, e) forcing me to suffer a big pay cut to transfer, f) disallowing my education deductions, travel vouchers, and sick leave requests, g) firing me, and h) forcing me to resign. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat and especially if I had been a minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. And even more especially if a) I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and b) I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988.)

— Democrats eager to jail Jan. 6 rioters once shielded left-wing radicals who bombed the U.S. Capitol. – Susan Ferrechio
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/29/democrats-eager-to-jail-jan-6-rioters-once-shielde/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorney General Merrick Garland, who boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of blowing up a bomb near the Senate chamber. Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges for her role in bombing the Navy Yard and Fort McNair, or plotting to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Democrats quietly helped toss her case in 2009, a move that Mr. Garland later signed off on.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Applications for revenue-generating IRS jobs are ‘far below’ agency goals. The tax agency is facing major hurdles with its big ambitions for hiring to slash uncollected taxes. – ERIC KATZ (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat IRS superiors wasted my career and b) how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS, wasted my career, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. 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. I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.)
https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2024/03/applications-revenue-generating-irs-jobs-are-far-below-agency-goals/394987/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The agency has made some progress—it has eliminated barriers to posting job openings—but is still facing headwinds that are largely outside of its control. Revenue agents for those roles have “yet to be hired and onboarded,” the IG said. “External applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience,” TIGTA found. A previous IG report found that despite its new funding, revenue agent staffing had actually decreased by 8%, or more than 650 employees, between the end of fiscal 2019 and March 2023. IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. IRS officials are aware of the problem and are attempting to develop solutions. The agency has completed an enterprise-wide recruiting strategy for revenue agents and is “exploring options” to better promote related job announcements. “We are making remarkable progress in our efforts to transform the IRS and the pace of change is accelerating as we use the historic funding from the IRA,” said David Padrino, IRS’ chief transformation and strategy officer. He noted that overall, the agency has completed 45% of its fiscal 2023 milestones, while 55% were underway and just 2% had not yet been addressed. Still, some of IRS’ shortfalls may be systemic. Erin Collins, the National Taxpayer Advocate, warned in a recent report the IRS Human Capital Office “lacks the necessary resource investments,” including IT and staffing, to keep up with the agency’s new hiring demands. Citing the pay gap between federal and private sector employees, the taxpayer advocate said it would be “unreasonable to expect the IRS to consistently out-recruit the competition.” The agency has maintained expedited hiring authority, but even when using it in fiscal 2023 the average time between a job announcement and a start date was 110 days. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office found last month IRS is failing to detail its current and future needs, where skill gaps exist and its strategy for filling them. It has broad hiring plans and types of roles for which it will hire, but has not specified which workers would go toward high-income/high-wealth audits. IRS is also facing political headwinds. Congressional Republicans have decried the hiring as a “power grab,” and the agency itself has warned its workforce could be facing a “cliff” in several years when IRA funds are set to expire. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., even wrote a letter to Americans imploring them not to apply for the forthcoming jobs. Collins suggested IRS invest more in using the Pathways and Presidential Management Fellows programs to recruit employees. She also said the agency should consider contracting with recruiting firms to help it bring in candidates for higher-grade positions. Collins noted IRS has made significant gains in hiring for customer service positions—the agency completed a total of 34% more hiring actions in fiscal 2023 than the previous year—but said the outstanding problems threaten what it is trying to accomplish. “If the IRS does not make significant changes, these staffing shortages will compound and pose significant threats to federal tax administration and taxpayer rights,” the taxpayer advocate said. The challenges do not come as a surprise: Collins and former officials—including Danny Werfel, who has since once again become IRS commissioner—warned when the IRA was passed that fulfilling the agency’s staffing goals would present significant difficulties. IRS is also looking to develop flexible work options, but TIGTA found in its new report that progress in that area has been delayed. The agency is still looking to onboard a project lead in that area and is determining what is feasible based on other agency practices. The Treasury Department last month mandated that employees work from their offices at least 50% of the time. The agency is also creating a pulse survey to establish a baseline on employee morale, while officials have presented to the Transformation and Strategy Office three options for improving employee recognition and educating managers about rewards for staff.)

They forced me to suffer a $22,966/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. I faced tremendous opposition mainly because I was a conservative Republican who opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, but also because I did not help GAO meet any of its Affirmative Action quotas and because I did not start my career with GAO like almost all of them did and because I transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority. They were furious when I completed the requirements for 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. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They wasted my knowledge of IRS.)

https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/opinion/dei-is-destroying-america-why-the-classics-are-back-and-other-commentary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Diversity/equity/inclusion” is the common thread behind “America’s current crises,” argues Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness. DEI has “birthed” resurgent crime and antisemitism. The “military is short” soldiers, because “white males” fear being called “white supremacists” if they join. Outcries over “the destruction of enforcement” of immigration law are “written off as racism.” Nations like China and the Soviet Union suffered enormously after substituting “race, sex, class, and tribal criteria for meritocracy,” while the smaller, less “materially rich” United States “emerged to dominate the world.” “Yet here we are in 2024, ignoring the baleful past.” America’s future now “hinges on how quickly we discard DEI orthodoxy” and “judge citizens on their character and talent” — if it’s not “already too late.”)

Chains lay off workers, shave hours ahead of state minimum-wage increase to $20 an hour. – Heather Haddon (COMMENT: In today’s dollars. I earned $12.41 an hour washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time while I was Crete-Monee High School student 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer of 1965.
