November 3, 2023

Democrat and RINO elected officials ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. Sooner or later, illegal immigration will harm everyone in America big time. The lower that your income is, the sooner and more that you will be harmed. Illegal immigration will not slow down, let alone stop, until voters elect Republicans, that is, elect candidates who support the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform and will require E-Verify for all employment.

https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/democrats-quiet-campaign-succeed-biden-2024-president-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and California Rep. Ro Khanna have traveled to New Hampshire in recent months — and Khanna returned this week to debate GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. . .Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pritzker all recently launched national political groups — “Fight Like Hell PAC,” “Campaign for Democracy,” and “Think Big America,” respectively. Newsom’s group has focused on gun safety while Whitmer and Pritzker’s groups have honed in on abortion rights. . .In October, Pritzker, 58, launched Think Big America, a group that’s using his wealth to fund abortion rights ballot measures across the country. Pritzker, a billionaire businessman, personally gave $750,000 and Think Big America gave $250,000 to support Ohio’s Issue 1 amendment, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and is on the ballot in next week’s election. Think Big America also donated $1 million to Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which is behind an abortion-rights ballot measure, a Think Big spokesperson told Axios. Pritzker also landed the Democratic convention for Chicago; he and his allies are raising money for it.)

— Where would the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) be today if their leaders had let me serve as their webmaster? In 2010 and in 2004, MTRO leaders rudely fired me as their webmaster. I should write a book about MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP leaders since 2000. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. 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 have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. The leaders of TAPROOT Republican of Illinois rudely fired me as their webmaster in 2012. The leaders of Illinois Center Right Coalition rudely fired me as their webmaster in 2007.

FORBES
— While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers and subordinates were Democrats. My Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer’ when I was 49 years old. Previously, they took many other big adverse actions against me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

DES MOINES REGISTER
— Test politicians, and surgeons, for competency. That’s better than age limits. A law requiring mandatory physical and mental testing of the president and members of Congress past a certain age would not be age discrimination, per se. – Greg Ganske (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans. Up-or-out is age discrimination per se. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be promoted to GS-13. However, a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, f) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and g) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. While my Democrat GAO superiors did promote me to GS-13 in 1986, they nevertheless forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I had not made GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, or Senior Executive Service by age 40. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors enforced up-or-out only for their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 1995, I sat in the House of Representatives listening to 70-year-old Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican, give a remarkable speech against term limits. Hyde, a giant of a man at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, with a shock of white hair, still moved with grace from his Georgetown basketball days. In the 1943 NCAA semifinals, he outplayed DePaul’s 6-foot-10 All-American George Mikan. Hyde argued that multiple terms help elected officials gain institutional knowledge and build relationships needed to be effective in passing legislation. The C-SPAN cameras caught me listening on the floor of the House with a bemused look when he said, “When the dentist bends down over you with the drill whirring, don’t you hope he has done that before? When the neurosurgeon has shaved your head and made the pencil mark on your skull where they’re going to have the incision and he approaches with the electric saw, ask him one question: ‘Are you a careerist?’” Laughter filled the chamber. . .Henry Hyde would say, “just vote the mentally incompetent out!” But this is easier said than done as evidenced by aged politicians who get reelected time and again in safe districts or heavily red or blue states. The voters should at least know if elderly candidates have passed minimal physical and mental competency tests. Hyde died of complications from open heart surgery at the age of 81. His surgeon was probably one of the best, but I wonder if, as his heart surgeon approached with the scalpel, he would have been better served by asking, “Have you passed your competency tests?” instead of, “Are you a careerist?”)

Far too many of my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were antisemitic, that is, they did not want to work for, work with, or supervise my many Jewish superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. I should write a book about that.)

— Adam Kinzinger Shares The Only Reason Why He Still Considers Himself A Republican. “I’m not going to give up that title,” the former Illinois lawmaker told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. – Josephine Harvey (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. In your precinct, in your municipality, in your township, and in your county, how many cast Republican ballots in primary elections, but then vote for Democrats in general elections? I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who run as Republicans for political and government offices in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to defeat conservatives. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-kinzinger-still-republican_n_6540e179e4b032ae1c9c986d
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he still considers himself a Republican, but only because “I don’t want to give up on that fight.” He told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, “This country needs two healthy parties: a healthy Democratic party and a healthy Republican. So I’m not going to give up that title.” He said he had voted Democratic in the 2022 midterms and would do the same in 2024 if it’s a Donald Trump-Joe Biden matchup. “I really believe it’s down to one issue on the ballot,” he said. “Not taxes, not even abortion, nothing. The one issue is: Do you believe in democracy, or do you believe in authoritarianism?” Kinzinger told the Washington Post last year that he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, but he felt “dirty” doing it, and “it’s not something I can square away in my soul fully.” Kinzinger was one of the most prominent critics of the former president in the House Republican conference before he retired from Congress earlier this year. He was one of two Republicans who served on the Jan. 6 committee, and one of ten who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the insurrection. “There’s little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use,” Kinzinger said in 2021 when he announced he would not run for reelection. “It has also become increasingly obvious that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide.”)

While O’Neill was Speaker, GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and delayed my promotions to GS-12 and GS-13. While Wright was Speaker, GAO threw me off audits of IRS. While Foley and was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. While Gingrich was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old; my Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious that Gingrich dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1995-1997.

The Republican Party platform is conservative and therefore it promotes individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, compliance with immigration laws, avoidance of vices, Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).)

— 78% Consider Hamas a Terrorist Group
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/78_consider_hamas_a_terrorist_group

October 27, 2023

Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/10/27/white-house-demands-action-from-gop-lawmakers-on-gun-control-after-latest-mass-shooting-1407744/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House called for Republicans in Congress to get with the program and help to pass sweeping new anti-Second Amendment laws after another mass shooting, exploiting the tragedy to bully lawmakers at the height of public outrage. The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)

GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0acb6ea4-7408-11ee-b6d2-17c0c2c516cd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the IRS plans for a $78 billion investment that could transform the agency over the next decade, Democrats and Republicans have starkly different views about the challenges it faces going forward. The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

— Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is slammed ‘for locking huge crowd out of public meeting about plan for migrant camp in crime-ridden city – even though there was plenty of space inside.’ The city is planning to erect a tent shelter camp to house up to 2,000 asylum seekers. But locals claim they were not consulted and have safety concerns for themselves and the potential residents. Close to 20,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022 as the city struggles with an accommodation shortage. – ISABELLE STANLEY

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

CHICAGO CONTRARIAN
— Stay or Go: Chicago’s Jewish Community Has a Choice to Make – BENJAMIN BLAIR
https://www.chicagocontrarian.com/blog/chicago-jewish-community-has-choice-to-make
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With rising anti-Semitism in the Windy City, does the urban equation still add up for the 85,000 Jews in Chicago? Roughly two percent of the world’s Jewish community resides in the greater Chicago area. According to a recent Brandeis study of the Chicagoland Jewish community, in 2020, there were 319,600 Jewish adults and children spread across 175,800 households in Chicago and its suburbs. Chicago’s Jewish population count was 85,000 at the time of the study. Chicago Jews are a diverse bunch. Some are observant, following as many of the 613 mitzvot (which comprise “doing good deeds” or “avoiding bad deeds”) as possible, including putting on Tefillin, observing shabbat and the holidays/festivals, and saying prayers daily. Others worship themselves, including Zen and the art of vaginoplasty. By the numbers, Chicago’s Jewish community was seven percent Orthodox (i.e., observant) in 2020 (the same as 2010). Conservative Jews, who generally believe they are fully observant with a few caveats, although the Orthodox would disagree, made up 16 percent of the population (down from 30 percent in 2010). Reform Jews (the Unitarians of the Jewish world) came in at 29 percent (down from 45 percent). Somewhat shockingly, 44 percent of the Jewish community had “no denomination” in 2020 (up from 14 percent in 2010). But the politics of Chicago’s Jewish community should surprise no one: 16 percent volunteer themselves as “extremely liberal”; 36 percent clock in as liberal; 18 percent are moderate; six percent are slightly conservative; 10 percent are conservative; and 2 percent are extremely conservative. In short: Most Chicago Jews don’t agree on much, but they tilt far to the political “left” outside the Orthodox community. In fact, many of Barack Obama’s biggest fanboys (inside baseball note: Who were generally responsible for driving his rise to fame even before his run for the White House) came from Chicago’s Jewish community – think the Pritzker family, for one.)

I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they took against me to get rid of me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old a) because I was all of the aforesaid, b) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) because I had been a union member while I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for the Post Office 1966-1969.)

— Who Advises You? – Tim Hetzner (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes talk and/or act like they take advice from those who reject the following planks in the Republican Party platform: individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

— INVEST IN KIDS TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIPS MOSTLY GO TO BLACK, HISPANIC STUDENTS – Mailee Smith (COMMENT: To have enough money to pay for sending my brother and I to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete and then Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1953-1969, my father worked second jobs, most commonly, he played piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs, and working an A&W. He died suddenly in October of 1969 when he tried to lift a heavy speaker at the Blue Note Tap in Momence. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather on my father’s side all had less money because they paid to send their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Illegal aliens are rational investors – Andrew Hodge
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/illegal_aliens_are_rational_investors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Migrants coming to the USA right now have to make a significant investment. There is a monetary investment in the form of payment given to the Mexican drug cartels to shepherd them to and across the border. Many migrants take flights from their home countries to Central or South America and then trek north. Flights costs money, which increases their investment after payments to the cartels. Often this also involves future payments earned as the result of working in this country, legally or not. These payments may be monetary or in the form of indentured labor. There are other forms of investment as well. Primary among them is human capital. Hiking from Central or South America to the U.S. border is not easy. It involves many weeks of time; many miles of walking; and risk of physical danger from snakes, terrain, and weather along the way. You have to sleep outside a lot, access to food is uncertain, and one has to negotiate the Rio Grande and the desert. We know that many are lost in transit. On top of that, there is the real risk of mistreatment by the cartels. Many, many adult and adolescent female migrants are sexually abused on their journey here. Children of both sexes are often abused as well. Once in the USA, they are often trafficked. Men and women are forced into indentured servitude by the cartels in different forms, some involving drug-dealing. The women are placed in brothels, displaying their wares on the streets of American cities. Think of the psychological and physical scars accrued by these people. That is a real cost that represents a very significant personal investment.)

The aforesaid was stressed my Money Magazine in its February 1978 4-page article on me and that gave IRS an excuse to disallow my graduate business courses at Loyola and my graduate accounting courses at DePaul.)

Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrats will ever-increasingly send more illegals to DuPage County, to Milton Township, and to Wheaton to destroy DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. The only thing that might slow them down is opposition from the ever-increasing number of rich wealthy limousine liberal Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who have invaded and taken over parts of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

— Democrats ask “Why are migrants coming to Chicago?” and acknowledge that “Asylum seekers in Texas are declaring Chicago as their desired city for resettlement.” Of course, migrants want to come to Chicago because of what Chicago is known for. Liberal Democrats run Chicago. Those liberal Democrats promote a) mass/illegal immigration, b) dependency on government and charity (free stuff), c) race and gender based preference giving, d) patronage, e) political affiliation discrimination, f) reverse discrimination, g) age discrimination, h) LGBTQ, i) abortion, j) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and k) abolition of the Second Amendment. Those liberal Democrats promote hated against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Migrants want to come to Chicago because they want what liberal Chicago Democrats promote. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated to Chicago in 1844, but they fled to Crete in 1854. I lived in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976 and full-time 1976-1978, but only because I got promoted to a job there. When my wife and I got married in 1978, we immediately fled to prosperous, safe, religious, conservative, and Republican Wheaton.

— Overseas US military members to get pay cut…again? – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/overseas_us_military_members_to_get_pay_cutagain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes. Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state. Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal aliens, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.)

FORBES
— Democrats say “How To Use Storytelling In Your MBA Applications.” In my 1971 Loyola MBA application, I stressed that I wanted to take graduate evening business courses to maintain and improve my job skills. I had just been hired by IRS and my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business courses. Starting in 1972, I took and deducted one graduate evening business course at a time at Loyola and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. But in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those 16 courses. They intentionally ignored what I had stated in my application. They argued that the courses a) did not maintain or improve my job skills, b) were not related to my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) qualified me for a new trade or business, and e) were a distraction. I appealed to Tax Court and won. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed the courses if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.
