If/when Democrats and/or RINOs try to make your county, your township, your municipality, and/or your school district official sanctuaries for illegals, who will lead the fight against that? I will lead the fight against that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200. Previously, in Wheaton, I led successful fights against video gambling and pot.

— JANUARY 01, 1989 FLASHBACK: IN SNOW, IT`S A CUL-DE-SOCKED – Blair Kamin (COMMENT: I have lived on Wheaton’s high-taxed 4-home Cove Court cul-de-sac since 1984. Yesterday, I learned that because of “budget constraints,” Wheaton no longer final plows its cul-de-sacs unless individual snows are more than 2-inches deep. That means that if a cul-de-sac is hit with multiple individual snows in a row, but each of them are less than 2-inches, no final plowing is done no matter how high the snow is piled up in the middle of the cul-de-sac, along the curb, and in front of driveways. I have appealed that final plowing policy to Wheaton’s City Manager. My 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT has only a 6 1/2-inch ground clearance. Mountains of salt and hope for warm temperatures are not the answers. Per doctor’s orders, because on shoulder/arm injury, I am not supposed to shovel snow this winter.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-01-01-8902220015-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Snow and the cul-de-sac do not mix. The Plow Man had cometh, and as she looked at what he`d left behind, Drake recalled the time a plow operator scooped up neighbors` trash and unloaded it near her front lawn. ”Don`t buy a house on a cul-de-sac unless you want to put up with all that,” said the 45-year-old resident of west suburban Naperville. Last week`s heavy snow reminded thousands of people that they pay a price for living on quiet streets with privacy and gently sweeping curves that are like a snowball heaved at Chicago`s no-nonsense street grid. From Naperville, which has about 700 cul-de-sacs, to northwest suburban Schaumburg, which has about 535 of the dead-end, turn-around streets, the price is paid in destroyed sod, buried mailboxes and driveways that get clogged after there`s no place left for plows to put the snow. ”Mother Nature abhors a void,” said Steven Kaar, operations and maintenance manager for the Naperville Department of Transportation. ”Unfortunately, it`s Mr. Jones` driveway.” The reason for the mess is that the typical snow-clearing vehicle in Naperville, a small pickup truck, isn`t powerful enough to push heavy snow where operators want it to go. In fact, it takes 7 to 10 times longer to clear a cul-de-sac than a through street, according to Naperville officials. That`s bad news for suburban taxpayers, wherever they live. Cul-de-sacs are ”several times more expensive” to clear than regular streets, according to Naperville City Manager Ralph DeSantis. Heavy snow also slows Postal Service carriers. Just try reaching out of your Jeep and putting a letter in a snow-encased mailbox. ”I`ll try and deliver it (to the door),” said mailman Tom Stafford, 35, as he headed down a Naperville cul-de-sac. ”I`ve done that at least 20 times today. And I`m only about two-thirds of the way through the route.” Such are the disadvantages of streets where children can play without fear of through traffic and parents don`t have to contend with noise. Homes usually sell for a little more because of the privacy of cul-de-sacs. It also doesn`t hurt that the streets are called cul-de-sacs. To be sure, cul-de-sac is French for ”dead end.” But French adds a touch of class in the same way that English names like Devonshire give snob appeal to little subdivisions on the prairie. Yet that has not rescued the cul-de-sac from being ranked behind arterial streets, major collector streets and local side streets on the snow-clearance priority lists of suburban traffic engineers. The engineers, who make their rankings on the basis of which street handles the most traffic, regularly hear from armchair critics. ”They neglect roads like this,” said 20-year-old John Delgado, a transplanted Californian who was house-sitting on a cul-de-sac in Naperville last week. ”Out here`s where it really matters. . . . People have to be able to get out of their house to get on the main road.” Suburban officials like to deflect such criticism by pointing out that cul-de-sacs may be more manageable than Chicago`s side streets. In the city, cars often cram both sides of the side streets-and wind up covered with snow after plowing. In contrast, it`s illegal to park on the street during certain night hours in some suburbs. But some residents can`t get their cars out of the driveway after a heavy snow. That`s because plows are supposed to dump snow into ”parkways,” the city-owned strips that are wedged between the sidewalk and the curb. But the parkways are filled with mailboxes, street lights, trees and fireplugs. Those obstacles often force plows to push snow into driveways and sidewalks. ”It`s not intentional and it`s not malicious,” said Naperville`s Kaar, sounding like one who has been accused of such sins. ”Again, it`s the law of physics. . . . You come up to a void and the plow fills that void.” Another problem: Plows often go out at night and during snowstorms, when it`s difficult to see. As a result, they sometimes go over the curb and gouge sod. That some suburbs pay for replacing sod underlines the fact that cul-de-sac power is not taken lightly. Naperville, for example, has at least 17,000 residents who live on cul-de-sacs, according to Kaar. That`s more than 20 percent of the suburb`s 79,805 people. The snow-clearing problem also has forced suburbs to purchase something called the articulated end-loader-a hulking, bulldozer-like contraption that bends in the middle like large city buses. That feature allows the loader to make a complete, uninterrupted turn around cul-de-sacs. But unlike the weak pickup truck, the loader has the power-most of the time-to put snow where it should go, officials said. There`s just one problem: The end loaders cost $65,000 to $80,000 apiece- compared to $15,000 for a pickup truck. As a result, Naperville and Schaumburg have only a handful of them. The fact that end-loaders can travel at only 18 m.p.h. also brings complaints from residents who think it takes too long to clear their streets. But residents like Diane Drake aren`t leaving their cul-de-sacs-not because of an inconvenience that strikes a few times a year. ”I wouldn`t move to a regular street,” Drake said. ”This is pretty good. Until it snows.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid Illinois confronting a persistent migrant crisis, a Naperville councilman, Josh McBroom, is proactively addressing the situation. He has proposed a plan to connect willing local residents with asylum-seekers requiring shelter. McBroom discussed the concept of compiling a list of Naperville households willing to host these newcomers at a recent city council meeting, as per the Chicago Tribune. While there seems to be a split among city officials, the proposal has garnered some backing. This has prompted staff to explore the viability of a grassroots hosting program, leveraging the city’s affluence as a refuge for those in need. “We do have a very affluent community. A lot of big homes,” McBroom highlighted the potential in Naperville for private citizens to fill the gap where government funds may fall short, according to the same Tribune report. Following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s move to relocate over 30,000 migrants to the Chicago area, including collar counties like Naperville due to logistical changes, McBroom’s initiative emerges. While still in the early stages, this plan could provide a direct means of assistance to these individuals, many of whom encounter harsh temperatures and resource shortages upon their arrival. “I’m hearing stories about little kids at train stations without coats on,” McBroom said, painting a grim picture of the migrants’ plight to the Chicago Tribune. Aligned with local initiatives, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker revealed a commitment of $17 million in state funds to assist municipalities in tackling the migrant crisis, as reported by the Daily Herald. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, granted $11 million from this fund, will distribute grants to communities displaying readiness to aid migrants with housing and food. While recognizing the intricacies of his proposal and addressing concerns regarding local schools and city management roles, McBroom maintains the necessity of the initiative in response to what he deems the “inhumane” current state of affairs. The implementation specifics of McBroom’s proposal remain unclear. The challenge extends beyond city council deliberations, encompassing logistics, legality, and ethical considerations. Nevertheless, the growing support for action in Naperville indicates that amidst the cold winds, there is a compassionate undercurrent eager to reshape the narrative for those stranded in the suburb’s embrace. McBroom shared with the Daily Herald, “My idea would be let’s find out … let’s find out who’s willing to help.”)

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.)

ABC7
— Illinois Republicans to introduce legislative package to discourage migrant arrivals – Sarah Schulte
https://abc7chicago.com/migrants-illinois-abbott-republicans-chicago/14330663/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But instead of extending a helping hand, some Illinois Republican lawmakers said they plan to introduce a legislative package aimed at discouraging migrants from coming here, including repealing an element of the Trust Act that prohibits local law enforcement from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. “Our hope is they are going to have traveler’s remorse and that migrants will return to their home country,” said State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport). “I’ve been a police officer since 1993. I can tell you it’s insane, that you have one law enforcement agency not able to speak to another,” said State Senator John Cabello, Assistant Republican Leader. Additionally, state republicans criticized Illinois for providing health care for undocumented residents and for providing housing and resources to the migrants. “Governor Pritzker, his allies in the General Assembly, Mayor Johnson have rolled out the red carpet for the migrants,” Chesney said. While the state will continue to care for new arrivals, Gov. Pritzker has asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop sending them here during the bad weather. His request was ignored. “I think that tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party, their position on migration and Gov. Abbott himself,” Pritzker said Monday. The Republican migrant legislative package is unlikely to gain traction in Springfield; nor is more state money for the migrants. In a statement, Democrat Senate President Don Harmon said, “We recognize the moral imperative of aiding our new neighbors, but we also have lingering issues with the unhoused, food insecurity, mental health and lack of employment in communities across the state that deserve resources and assistance, too.”)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/illinois-republicans-push-back-on-migrant-funding-as-state-lawmakers-return-to-springfield/3329170/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As lawmakers return to Springfield Tuesday, the migrant crisis in Chicago moves to the top of their agenda. Republicans introduced a package of legislation designed to strip Illinois of its sanctuary status and make it a less attractive alternative for asylum seekers. They want to repeal the Trust Act which keeps local police from talking to Immigration and Customs Enforcement about undocumented individuals. They also want to reduce health care expenditures and education spending on asylum seekers. “Our job as elected officials is to protect those taxpayers that pay our salaries and pay for everything under this dome,” said State Rep. John Cabello from Rockford. In Chicago, the Office of Emergency Management and Communications said that no new buses of asylum seekers have arrived from the Southern border states and that the official drop off site no longer has any migrants staying in CTA warming buses. There are still more than 200 people awaiting placement at O’Hare and another 12 in the warming center at the Harold Washington Library. The lull comes after Texas Governor Gregg Abbott refused a request by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to stop sending busloads of migrants in the subzero cold. Pritzker responded by placing full page ads in five Texas newspapers pleading for a stop to state transports to save lives. “It’s dangerous to send a busload of migrants who don’t have jackets, who don’t have shoes, proper shoes, to a climate like the one we are in now,” Pritzker said while campaigning for President Joe Biden at Monday’s Iowa Republican Caucuses. Who will pay for housing migrants? According to Politico, both Chicago and New York City are teaming up to ask the Department of Homeland Security for more money. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and Chicago Budget Director Annette Guzman reportedly signed a letter Director Alejandro Mayorkas saying the cities have not received proper reimbursement from the federal government. Cost is a major concern for Illinois Republicans as well. They claim their new legislative package is deigned to stave off tax increases to pay for migrant services.)

The Addison Township Office, the Naperville Municipal Center, the Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale and the Westmont Public Library will all host early voting sites. Additional locations will open on March 4. A full list of early voting sites has not yet been released, but information on early voting can be found on the DuPage County website.

I have been retired for more than 26 years. I would focus on the many negatives of being forced into early retirement. I would focus on how your critics/opponents use your being forced into early retirement against you. I would stress that the more qualifications that you have when you are forced to retire early, the more that your critic/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that you were forced to retire early because you were a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I had the following qualifications when the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old: I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $118,439-$150,075/year. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I had become a licensed CPA. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had become a Forensic Accountant, Certified Financial Services Auditor, Certified Government Financial Manager, and Certified Fraud Examiner. I had earned master’s degrees in finance, accounting, and business. )

To let illegals illegally come to America illegally and to illegally stay in America illegally just because they seek asylum, refugee, or parole status not only opens the floodgates, not only abolishes America’s borders, but destroys America.

— 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.)

If I had been a Democrat woman or minority, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 year old in 1988. 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.)

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.)

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.)
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.

— The diversity vs. meritocracy debate is back – Dana Taylor (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders have always used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI against Republicans.

My RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization continue to use AA and DEI against me big time. I should write a book about that. According to them, I lack diversity because I am not liberal/moderate, minority, female, young, LGBTQ, veteran, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

To do that, they ignore, dismiss, and/or belittle the fact while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I got promoted in 1973, 1973, 1974, and 1986, I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS, and I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and d) a job-related professional license in 1981. I might still be working for the federal government and paying 7% of my salary into the CSRS if my Democrat superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/9/24031481/robberies-crash-and-grabs-install-bollards-streeterville-gold-coast-ald-brian-hopkins-editorial

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s pretty brazen as far as break-ins go: thieves ramming a vehicle into a retail storefront, then raiding the breached business for whatever merchandise can be taken. Such thefts have been happening too often lately to high-end clothing establishments, particularly those on North Michigan Avenue and the Gold Coast. A predawn crash-and-grab Monday at a Prada store, 30 E. Oak St., resulted in a gun battle that left a police officer shot in the leg and the alleged offender seriously wounded.)

— Abolish the IRS? How Republicans are keeping up attacks on the tax agency. – Katie Lobosco (COMMENT: I worked for IRS 1971-1980. I should write a book about those who have used that against me the most.)

https://www.wthitv.com/news/abolish-the-irs-how-republicans-are-keeping-up-attacks-on-the-tax-agency/article_877b79c9-ccfb-5868-ae63-d59cd652e91b.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congressional Republicans and some GOP presidential candidates are continuing to target the Internal Revenue Service – a longtime political punching bag – after Democrats bolstered the agency with billions in new funding meant to help modernize the nation’s tax collector. Most recently, Republican lawmakers secured a concession from Democrats to speed up a $20 billion cut, previously agreed to last June to avoid a US default. Rather than cut $10 billion this year and another $10 billion next year from the IRS, all $20 billion would be rescinded in 2024 under an agreement reached Sunday on 2024 top-line budget numbers. The deal is a key first step to avoid a looming, partial government shutdown, but plenty of work remains before lawmakers reach a broader deal on a final 2024 spending bill. Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidates Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy have suggested they would gut the IRS, along with some other federal agencies. Last week during a CNN town hall, DeSantis went as far as to say that he would eliminate the IRS and replace the nation’s tax code with one flat tax, which would require all taxpayers to pay the same federal tax rate.)

— I am 75. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination big time. Most commonly, age-discriminators do that to curry favor with younger people, and especially with younger people who are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, non-American, minority, female, LGBTQ, poor, veteran, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Most commonly, age-discriminators discriminate the most against older people who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, heterosexual, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who are ever-increasingly taking more/bigger adverse actions against me as I get older.

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.

https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/01/09/illinois-gun-owners-still-refusing-to-follow-registration-laws-n603659

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now the governor, who has designs on the White House either in 2024 or maybe 2028 at the latest, looks weak and feckless. His gun control measure was supposed to be a big pillar of his presidential campaign. “Look, I passed a gun ban in Illinois. Elect me president, and I’ll pass one through Congress too.” Pritzker spent millions to lure the Democratic National Convention to Chicago this year. He wants to appear as a strong and effective state leader ready for the big time in Washington. Appearing feckless and impotent in the face of this gun ban no doubt causes him anger and frustration in private.)

— Physical therapist shares tips to avoid injury while shoveling snow. May cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. – Wafaa Ezzat (COMMENT: I have an appointment with a physical therapist today. Yesterday, my orthopedic doctor ordered me to not shovel snow this winter because of my injured right shoulder/arm. If you have any suggestions on who I could hire to shovel snow at my Wheaton home this winter, please phone me at 630-653-0462 or email me at diersen@aol.com ASAP. Many newspapers are thrown on my driveway every morning that I then skim to help me put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together. They are: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, and New York Times (7 Days a week); Wall Street Journal (Mondays-Saturdays); USA TODAY (Mondays-Fridays); Naperville Sun (Wednesdays and Fridays); and Suburban Life (Thursdays). Two years ago today, ice on my driveway caused me to slip and fall when I retrieved those newspapers. That caused me to suffer a “brain bleed” and injuries that I will never recover from including loss of taste and smell. SEE: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14480-brain-bleed-hemorrhage-intracranial-hemorrhage )

https://www.kwqc.com/2024/01/10/physical-therapist-shares-tips-avoid-injury-while-shoveling-snow/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As winter weather blankets our area, it’s important for property owners and tenants to ensure their sidewalks are clear of snow and ice. While area cities work to clear streets, alleys, and parking lots of snow and ice, it is the responsibility of property owners and tenants to clear their sidewalks and driveways of snow and ice, which can be a backbreaking chore. According to the CDC slips on ice and snow account for a million injuries each year. “If you’re somebody with a heart condition or an exercise intolerance that you can shuffle because that can the cardiac can definitely be involved there. From a physical therapy standpoint, though, we see shoulder injuries, knee injuries and then falls are a huge thing too. Once you get that first layer of snow shoveled off it tends to be really slippery underneath there,” said Jordan Gillund, Manager of Outpatient Physical Therapy, Genesis Health System. Gillund says that snow shoveling is pretty similar to a gym workout, so it’s important to prepare for it. This includes dressing properly, stretching and warming up your joints, pacing yourself, drinking plenty of water and taking breaks whenever you can. Despite the rush to clear snow before the plow comes, he says it’s important to recognize the toll it takes on the body. “A lot of times, we have people who are bending from the waist bending with their back and not from their knees when lifting, especially when it’s heavy snow, like it is today. We always tell people to keep your back straight, then with your knees. Smaller loads are better, always push the snow versus lifting it when you’re able to.” Gillund also recommends starting to shovel snow shortly after it falls when it’s lighter and fluffier, and make sure to have your phone with you and to always listen to your body. “If you’re somebody with a heart condition or an exercise intolerance that you can’t shovel because that can the cardiac can definitely be involved there. from a physical therapy standpoint, though, we see shoulder injuries, knee injuries and then falls are a huge thing too. once you get that first layer of snow shoveled off it tends to be really slippery underneath there.”)

I am furious that during the 1800s, some German immigrants tried to get America to speak German. My ancestors were slow to drop German.

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.

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. They did that to send a strong message to potential job applicants who share my demographics that GAO does not want you.)

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.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Johnson administration fired staffers who complained about mistreatment by officials – Alice Yin and Gregory Royal Pratt (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, that is, they fired me. 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. They did that to send a strong message to potential job applicants who share my demographics that GAO does not want you.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a tweet posted Friday, she claimed the pilot was a DEI hire who’d “failed multiple trainings” but been hired anyway because he or she had checked the right identity boxes. “Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was FIRED and then rehired through United’s DEI program despite being on a list to not return to United?” St. Clair wrote in her tweets. “Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training? Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added. In an additional tweet, she accused the co-pilot of also having possibly been a DEI hire. When billionaire Elon Musk noted that this puts a lot of lives at risk “if true,” Ashley responded: “Wish it wasn’t & far from the only instance. Lots of very concerning corners being cut with DEI at United…”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Does the objection to Trump on the Illinois primary ballot have a chance? What we know. – Patrick M. Keck
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/01/07/illinois-state-board-of-elections-to-decide-trumps-ballot-eligibility/72112827007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Supporters of the former president like U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, said the objection was politically-motivated with Trump as the overwhelmingly leading GOP candidate. She also is a Trump GOP convention delegate. “They know Trump will defeat Biden in a free & fair election,” Miller posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Democrats are embracing banana republic tactics by trying to jail their political opponents and throw them off the ballot.” . . . Matt Dietrich, ISBOE spokesperson, said the state election authority’s process will begin on Jan. 17 with the selection of a hearing officer who will meet with both parties to discuss their case. That officer will then report their findings with ISBOE’s general counsel, later providing a recommendation to its bipartisan, eight-member electoral board on Jan. 30. A majority vote is required for the objection to move forward. In the case of a tie, the objection is dropped. Objectors and the candidate, however, can seek judicial review, meaning any legal challenges likely would be ongoing when early voting starts on Feb. 8. The Illinois Supreme Court, holding a 5-2 Democratic majority, could be a favorable venue for the objectors.)

ORLANDO SENTINEL
— Income tax deductions you should not miss – ELLIOT RAPHAELSON (COMMENT: What tax deductions have you taken? 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.)

The fight began at around 8.30am outside the re-intake center in East Village when one man tried to sneak into the large line, eyewitnesses said. He was holding a cup of coffee and spilled it on to others while trying to cut in front before he was confronted by another migrant. An argument quickly turned physical with the man allegedly punching the line-cutter who fell to the ground and others joined in. – KAMAL SALTAN

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/chicagotribune/name/gary-longman-obituary?id=54025103 (COMMENT: Gary was one of my roommates at NIU 1969-1970. When my father died suddenly in October of 1969, he outstandingly came to the wake in Crete. His summer job in 1969 was interning at KPMG while my summer job was delivering mail in Park Forest. I will forever regret a) my not majoring in accounting at NIU like Gary did, b) my not starting to take graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27, c) my not taking and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30, and d) my not becoming a licensed CPA until I was 32.)
(FROM THE OBITUARY: Gary was a graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in accounting. He was a highly driven, business- minded CPA who quickly worked his way up at KPMG, becoming a partner at just age 32. He held many esteemed positions, including partner-in-charge of the Chicago Audit Practice and leader of the Midwest-area technology practice. An accountant by trade, Gary dedicated his talents not only to his work but also to the community. He joined many business boards. He was a director of Marine Bank and “interim” President of Sunny Ridge Family Center for ten years, guiding them to success.)
