TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH
— Texas voters say ‘Yes’ to all 13 props on the ballot (COMMENT: Proposition #12 got 96% YES, #13 95% YES, #8 92% YES, #10 90% YES, etc.)
https://tylerpaper.com/news/texas/texas-voters-say-yes-to-all-13-props-on-the-ballot/article_2310fd7a-c9f7-5d30-a6f6-823fdf394d72.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters in the Republican party across Texas headed to the polls on Tuesday to weigh in on 13 propositions on the GOP ballot. Each one got a solid thumbs up. They ranged from questions on issues of immigration to taxation and more. But they’re not policy referendums and aren’t intended to become constitutional amendments. They’re more like a poll for the Republican party to gauge the opinions of voters on issues. GOP voters were asked whether they support the following propositions. The answer was a resounding ‘Yes’ for each one.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The following are suggested yes/no questions for the Illinois Republican Party to ask Illinois Republicans. – Dave diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Should the Illinois Republican Party:
— 1. Defend and advance its platform, that is, should it dump its “Democrat Lite” policy?
— 2. Promote the personal responsibility plank in its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity?
— 3. Promote the traditional marriage and family plank in its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of LGBTQ?
— 4. Promote the right to life plank in its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of abortion?
— 5. Promote the immigration plank on its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of mass/illegal immigration?
— 6. Promote the illegal drugs plank in its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices?
— 7. Promote the Second Amendment plank in its platform and oppose Democrat diminishment of Second Amendment rights?
— 8. Promote the equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) plank in its platform and oppose Democrat promotion of patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination?

Of course, conservatives (Republicans) will answer YES to the aforesaid questions and anti-conservatives (Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs) will answer NO.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— What color is a trusted face? Some Chicago police officers are upset that a CPD video promoting the upcoming sergeants’ exam leaves out a certain category of cop (White). – Neil Steinberg (COMMENT: To get more and more and more votes from minorities, Democrats ever-increasingly promote more and more and more hatred against Whites.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2024/03/05/chicago-police-department-promotional-video-sergeants-exam-steinberg
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Six more officers urge hard work. To an outsider, it’s an unexceptional piece of management propaganda. So what’s the trouble? Let’s slide over to Second City Cop, an unofficial, relentlessly toxic Chicago police blog, and tune into the chatter: “The only white is the shirt” “Not one Caucasian in that mentor group. … This is very insulting and straight up racist. This is the new city of Chicago, unbelievable. They do not even try to hide the total hatred for the Caucasian police officers.” “Irish need not apply.” “If you’re a white stereotypical male of Irish/Italian/Slavic decent, the city no longer needs you.” . . . Maybe I should make their case for them. Chicago is 30% Black; only 22% of CPD is, and just 16% of sergeants. Must they tuck a token white face in their internal video? Is that really necessary? Apparently so, in some quarters. The biggest fiction floated in the academy is that there are no white or Black police officers, that everybody is blue. Uh-huh. Given how bent out of shape some officers are at not seeing themselves reflected in this video, that isn’t the case. . .Frustration vibrates off the comments, particularly directed toward “merit” promotions — which some see as a cut-to-the-front-of-the-line dodge around the test, permanently blemishing officers who didn’t make the grade. Others see the test itself as skewed to favor whites.)

Ever-increasingly, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, if my wife and I had gotten married sooner, and/or if we had children like they did, I never would have been able to a) earn an MBA in 1976, b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or e) become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

In 1997, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave him my job and my preferred corner office. Ever-increasingly he talked and acted like he believed that he was as a victim systemic race discrimination. Ever-increasingly, he blamed me for all his problems. To turn him against me, my Democrat GAO superiors ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted at him that I was holding him back, that he should have my job and my preferred corner office, and stressed to him that I was conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, childless, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my wife had a good job, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Even immigration is no free lunch – Conn Carroll (COMMENT: My critics/opponents want cheap labor. They have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents are/were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college degree(s), who got them good jobs, etc.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2903666/even-immigration-is-no-free-lunch/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Libertarian think tank scholars would have you believe that importing cheap foreign labor is a win-win for everybody. Employers get cheap labor, immigrants get higher pay, and consumers get cheaper goods and services. American workers aren’t hurt, the libertarians claim, because native workers won’t do the jobs foreign workers will, and they actually benefit by using cheaper services to allow them to work longer hours in higher-paying professions (e.g., a lawyer who can work more billable hours since he can buy dinner instead of cooking it himself). The libertarian case that adding to the supply of cheap labor never reduced native wages was always wrong. Harvard University economist George Borjas eloquently explained why years ago here. But now, the Wall Street Journal is even reporting that cheap foreign labor has other drawbacks, too. In an article titled “Rich Countries Are Becoming Addicted to Cheap Labor,” Tom Fairless reports: “Many business owners say that bringing in low-skilled foreign workers has become essential, as local populations age and labor forces shrink. … To some economists, however, dependence on imported workers is approaching unhealthy levels in some places, stifling productivity growth and helping businesses delay the search for more sustainable solutions to labor shortages.”)

The more planks in the Republican Party platform that candidates support, the more that the aforesaid RINO leaders fail/refuse to support those candidates.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— During an East Coast swing ahead of tomorrow’s Super Tuesday primaries, Gov. JB Pritzker called Donald Trump a “putz” and an “ass” but he said Illinois Democrats still want him on the ballot. “He’s in trouble in Illinois,” Pritzker said Sunday on MSNBC, reminding that Trump lost in Illinois in 2016 and 2020. “We want him on the ballot because he’s a detriment to Republicans across the United States but especially in Illinois.” Watch the interview here. ( https://twitter.com/TheWeekendMSNBC/status/1764311123665264949?s=20 ) The attacks were sharp during a speech Saturday in Arlington, Va., where Pritzker headlined the Democratic Party of Virginia’s pre-Super Tuesday event. (Pritzker’s Think Big America contributed $250,000 to the Virginia Democrats’ successful efforts to claim both chambers of the legislature.) In his speech, Pritzker called Trump a “putz” and an “ass” and said he is “stupid and ignorant.” The crowd ate it up. Explaining his blunt talk: “I learned an important lesson” from the 2016 presidential election, said Pritzker, who was a top fundraiser that year for Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid that Trump thwarted. “Don’t mince words in the fight of your life. Don’t hold back. This is an existential battle. I’m done giving any of these insurrectionists the benefit of the doubt. … I’m done pretending that we can debate nuance in this fight.” Will it be a strategy? Pritzker’s comments on the trail have often been echoed by his fellow surrogates, whether it’s abortion or age. The line about Trump being bad for down ballot Republicans may be a mantra. About age: Pritzker pointed to Trump “bragging about a cognitive test that he took in which they showed him a picture of a shark and a lion. … You know, that’s nice. But remember that Joe Biden is handling the complexities of the world.” – Shia Kapos

For me, it was potential employers viewing me as being draft bait. My father had recently died and they did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, my GPA was not that great because I had spent far too many hours working for the Park Forest Post Office instead of studying. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. It was a job that did not really require the bachelor’s degree in management that I had earned from NIU.)

By refusing to hear the case about the school’s admissions practices, the Court effectively gutted last year’s decision against affirmative action. – Peter Van Buren (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly lower standards to hire, retain, and promote more minorities and females. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors ever-increasingly lowered standards to hire, retain, and promote more minorities and females. That rendered WORTHLESS a) my earning an MBA in 1976, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my earning a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, f) etc.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/scotus-oks-admissions-discrimination-at-tj-high/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So what’s going on at TJ? Asian and white parents have been fighting over how many black students should be allowed in. Until the summer of 2020, the only way into prestigious TJ for residents was to pass a rigorous series of entrance exams. Following the death of George Floyd, TJ officials became concerned about their low number of black students and changed admissions standards. The tests were replaced by a holistic review that included “experience factors,” eligibility for free or reduced price meals, students who are economically disadvantaged, English language learners, special education students, and students who are currently attending underrepresented middle schools. The results were as intended: Without the entrance tests, the black student population grew from 1 to 7 percent of the class, while the number of Asian students fell from 73 to 54 percent. The number of white students also fell, but no one seemed to care that they accounted for only 22 percent of admissions, despite being 65 percent of the county population.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago has one of the largest income inequality gaps in the country – Jack Grieve (COMMENT: To remedy that income inequality, in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and they gave my job to my Black subordinate. In today’s dollars, my annual income dropped by $84,910/year or 57%. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $150,075/year. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165/year or only 43% of what my GAO salary was. Further, to remedy that income inequality, in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO. In today’s dollars, my income dropped by $22,996/year or 21%. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $110,020/year. My GAO salary was only $87,024/year or only 79% of what my IRS salary was. According to Democrats and RINOs, I have always been overpaid.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/economy/chicago-has-10th-highest-income-inequality-us
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A household in Chicago must bring home an annual salary of at least $149,219 to be among the city’s top 20% of earners. On the other hand, any household earning less than $27,255 is in the bottom quintile bracket. That means the city’s top one-fifth of earners make at least 5.47 times as much as the bottom one-fifth of earners.)

I should write a book about those who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered since 2005. I would focus on the candidates who suffered losses and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I would focus on leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, and Illinois Center Right Coalition. I would focus on conservative and religious leaders and activists.)

In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, I have hand-delivered a copy of the sample Republican ballot to each of the precinct’s 224 homes and 4 apartments that have at least one registered Republican voter. I am going to hand-deliver to those residences a letter from Annette Corrigan that encourages them to vote for her as a DuPage County Board District 4 write-in candidate.)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly run America and use “democracy” to take opportunities away from Republicans, and especially from Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly use DEI to take opportunities away from Republicans who are the aforesaid. My Democrat superiors in the federal government took opportunities away from me big time. They never promoted me beyond GS-13 and they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

— Democrats say Eisenhower’s mass deportation operation in 1954 was “inhumane” and a “racial terror campaign.” If Eisenhower had not mass deported illegals, illegals would have gotten the jobs that I did 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) etc.

My ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, I stress that my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone.)

But to give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are the aforesaid is to discriminate against those who are not the aforesaid.

LINDQUIST VON HASEN & JOYCE
— Your Accounting Career Plan (COMMENT: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, if I could do it over again, I would have overcome my fear of not being able to pass the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I would have majored in accounting instead of management at UIC, NIU, and Loyola and I would have done things much sooner than I did. As it was, I did not earn an MBA from Loyola until I was 27 in 1976. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. But by then, because of my bad demographics, I was much “too old” to have a successful career in accounting. I did not take more than one graduate evening course at a time at Loyola and DePaul because of financial limitations and time limitations. IRS did not offer me a job until I was 22 and it was as a “Revenue Officer” job instead of a “Revenue Agent” job because I had not taken enough accounting courses.)

The more of the aforesaid planks that my critics/opponents reject, the harder that they work against me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who are working against me the hardest.

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/cpac-conservatives-straw-poll/2024/02/25/id/1154886/
(COMMENT: Newsmax was voted by the Conservative Political Action Conference the “most trusted” cable news outlet in America — trouncing rival Fox News by a whopping 34 points, according to a straw poll conducted at the annual conference. CPAC announced the findings of the survey Sunday after four days of meetings in Washington, D.C. Each year CPAC organizes the nation’s most influential conservative conference, drawing major political and celebrity figures weighing in on policy issues and political races. The CPAC poll findings showed: 49% said Newsmax, when asked which network do you “trust the most.”
Only 15% said the same about Fox News. 29% chose “none” of the options as a trusted outlet. Either CNN or MSNBC was the choice for 1% each.
The survey was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates from Wednesday to Saturday — with a total of 1,478 conservatives participating. Participants appeared to be happy about Newsmax but were less sanguine about Big Tech platforms and their leaders. Some 55% of CPAC attendees singled out Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as the Big Tech CEO “doing the most to undermine America.” Google CEO Sundar Pichai came in second at 32% with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos at 5% and Apple’s Tim Cook at just 1%. The survey also asked participants what was the best way to combat “woke elites.” Almost a majority, 46%, said it would be to “give to grassroots efforts to mobilize conservatives.” Some 25% said donating “directly to candidates for Congress” was the best approach. Participants completed the survey using a unique six-digit PIN code to eliminate multiple or outside voting.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What should the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) promote more strongly in its next platform and what should the IRP oppose more strongly in that platform? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee in 2008. Sadly, my requests to be appointed to serve on those committees again in 2012, 2016, and 2020 were not granted. Of course, I have asked to be appointed to serve on the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee.

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

In my opinion, the next IRP platform should more strongly promote the following:
— Personal responsibility,
— Traditional marriage and family,
— Right to life,
— Enforcement of immigration laws,
— Discouragement of vices,
— Second Amendment rights, and
— Equal opportunity, that is, no race or gender based preference giving.

Republican elected officials should promote the aforesaid.

In my opinion, the next IRP platform should more strongly oppose the promotion of the following:
— Dependency on government and charity,
— LGBTQ,
— Abortion,
— Mass/illegal immigration,
— Booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
— Diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and
— DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

Republican elected officials should oppose promotion of the aforesaid.

TEXAS TRIBUNE
— JUNE 18, 2022 FLASHBACK: Texas Republican Convention calls Biden win illegitimate – SEWELL CHAN AND ERIC NEUGEBOREN
https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/18/republican-party-texas-convention-cornyn/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meeting at their first in-person convention since 2018, Texas Republicans on Saturday acted on a raft of resolutions and proposed platform changes to move their party even further to the right. They approved measures declaring that President Joe Biden “was not legitimately elected” and rebuking Sen. John Cornyn for taking part in bipartisan gun talks. They also voted on a platform that declares homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice” and calls for Texas schoolchildren “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child.” The actions capped a convention that highlighted how adamantly opposed the party’s most active and vocal members are to compromising with Democrats or moderating on social positions, even as the state has grown more diverse and Republicans’ margins in statewide elections have shrunk slightly in recent years. Votes on the platform were collected at the end of the party’s three-day convention in which party activists moved to add multiple items to the official Texas GOP platform. As the convention closed, two separate sets of ballots — one allowing delegates to choose eight of 15 legislative priorities and another allowing delegates to vote on the 275 platform planks — were gathered. Those will now need to be tallied and certified in Austin, but it is rare for a plank to be rejected, according to party spokesperson James Wesolek.)

— CPAC is denying press passes to ‘left-wing’ journalists – DOMINICK MASTRANGELO (COMMENT: I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative. I attended many CPACs, although not recently, and I reported on them as a journalist for GOPUSA. According to my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents, you are not a “real” journalist unless you claim to be nonpartisan. RINOs are anti-conservative. I should write a book about high-profile RINO event organizers in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who have barred me from attending their events and/or who have had me thrown out of their events since 2000.)

HECHINGER REPORT
— Did your college application essay mention race? Talk to us about it. (COMMENT: In my 1971 Loyola and 1976 DePaul applications, I stressed that I was an IRS Revenue Officer and that my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business and accounting courses and that I wanted to take those courses to maintain and improve my job skills as an IRS employee. But in 1978, to get rid of me, my IRS superiors disallowed the courses that I had taken ignoring/rejecting what I had stated in my applications and falsely arguing that I the courses a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) qualified me for a “new trade or business.” They would not have done that nor would they have disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and gotten rid of the IRS manager in 1975 who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would not have complained about the aforesaid discrimination if my Democrat IRS superiors had not taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

In retrospect and with benefit of hindsight, what did you learn? Would you have done those things if you knew then what you know now? If so, what would you have done differently? I should write a book about that. I would focus on my serving as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) an Illinois Center Right Coalition officer 2003-2007. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I did the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have blamed me and 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 wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.)

(COMMENT: Not that I could have gotten a student loan, but because I worked my way through college, I was able to a) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970 and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, b) buy a new Corvette after my Charger was stolen 14 months after I graduated, c) buy a new town home in University Park 25 months after I graduated, d) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago 48 months I graduated, e) buy a one bedroom condo there 72 months after I graduated, and f) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife 92 months after I graduated. In addition, I was able to pay for graduate evening courses in business at Loyola 1972-1976 and in accounting at DePaul 1976-1980. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary increased from $54,728/year in 1971 to $110,020/year in 1979. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974.)

In the late-1980s, my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. Our doctors told us that because we both had serious fertility problems, success would have been very unlikely. We did not adopt or become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted not only that I lied about trying to have children, but that we were disgusting selfish DINKs (dual income, no kids) who never wanted to have children. They used that slander to punish me severely in 1989. They did the aforesaid because I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit in late 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR REPUBLICAN PRECINCT COMMITTEEMAN: What have you done and what will you do to encourage the registered Republican voters in our precinct to cast Republican ballots in the March 19, 2024 Republican primary? Which of your fellow township and county elected Republican Precinct Committeemen are running to serve as officers of our township and county Republican party organizations?

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are the demographics of your county? How have those demographics changed? As more and more and more voters who have demographics that vote for Democrats move into DuPage County, Democrat candidates get more and more and more votes in DuPage County. Those who have the following demographics vote for Democrats: liberal, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. How have the leaders of your Republican county and township party organizations responded to demographic changes? I should write a book about how the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization have responded to demographic changes since 2000. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPage_County,_Illinois#Demographics ), in DuPage County, 63.4% are White, 12.8% are Asian, 4.7% are Black, 0.1% are Native American, 3.2% are two or more races, 0.4% are some other race, and 15.5% are Hispanic of any race. DuPage County has become more diverse. The population of foreign-born residents increased from about 71,300 in 1990 to 171,000 by 2009 estimates.

— Illinois GOP Slams Gov. Pritzker Over Migrant Funding – Nick Koutsobinas
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/illinois-gop-jb-pritzker/2024/02/21/id/1154496/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, during his State of the State address on Wednesday, called for a budget proposal of $182 million to be directed toward the healthcare costs of illegal migrants in his state, the Center Square reported. Framing the issue as one of a broken immigration system as opposed to an open-border policy constructed by the Biden administration, the governor said: “I will not join the chorus of people in this country or in this chamber who eagerly look to slam shut an immigration door that was once open to our ancestors.” Pritzker then blamed Republicans in the United States Senate for not agreeing to what was nominally dubbed a border bill that tied more funding to Ukraine than the border and was negotiated in secret apart from Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. “Why did every single Republican run away from something that they claimed they desperately wanted,” Pritzker asked a crowd of Illinois politicians. “Because Donald Trump told them to, and they’re afraid of him.” The Illinois governor also blamed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for transporting migrants to Chicago and other sanctuary cities. But local conservative politicians say Pritzker is to blame for his state’s migrant crisis. “You can’t literally invite people to come here with this insane sanctuary state policy and then complain that we don’t have the resources when they arrive,” state Rep. Blaine Wilhour, R-Beecher City, said after the governor’s address. Pritzker also outlined that part of the proposed funding would go to transitioning illegal migrants from temporary shelters to permanent housing. State Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, however, said there are better uses for the state’s budget. He said that “$2.8 billion dollars of state of Illinois spending” is going to “undocumented immigrant healthcare or migrant assistance. It is a gigantic sum of money that is crowding out other spending priorities that I think are worthwhile.” Newsmax could not verify the figure but has contacted Spain for comment. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, has called for a statewide moratorium on accepting migrants, citing high expenses.)
— CPAC Enforces New Rule Barring Left-Wing Journalists – Jim Thomas (COMMENT: I have always fully disclosed that I am conservative. I attended many CPACs, although not recently, and reported on them as a journalist for GOPUSA. According to my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents, you are not a “real” journalist unless you claim to be nonpartisan. RINOs are anti-conservative. I should write a book about high-profile RINO event organizers in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who have barred me from attending their events and/or have had me thrown out of their events since 2000.)
https://www.newsmax.com/amp/politics/cpac-rule-gop/2024/02/21/id/1154466/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), chaired by Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union, has implemented a significant policy change, disallowing credentials for left-wing journalists, reported Mediaite. Schlapp stated, “CPAC has a new rule. If you’re a propagandist, you can buy a ticket, like everyone else, but you’re not in the media, and we’re not going to credential you by saying you’re in the media.” He criticized certain media outlets for their alleged anti-Trump and anti-conservative stance, asserting that such bias undermines the credibility of journalism. Schlapp announced this decision as the conference commenced near Washington, D.C., igniting reactions and discussions about media access and bias. In a conversation with Schlapp, Steve Bannon articulated concerns about what he perceives as biased reporting, accusing some journalists of engaging in “information warfare.” In response, Schlapp highlighted a perceived trend of targeting conservatives with unfavorable coverage, emphasizing a need for increased discernment in media accreditation. Acknowledging the existence of left-wing journalists who provide balanced coverage, Schlapp maintained that CPAC’s decision aims to address what he sees as pervasive bias within the media landscape. He cited instances where journalists selectively target conservatives, contributing to what he described as a hostile environment for those with differing viewpoints. Responding to questions regarding CPAC’s evolving identity and criticism of its increasingly MAGA-centric focus, Schlapp defended the conference’s trajectory. He dismissed concerns over relevance and emphasized a commitment to principles aligned with the conservative movement. Additionally, Schlapp shared an exchange between his wife and a Huffington Post reporter who was denied credentials, expressing satisfaction with what he described as a reaction from “leftist propagandists” who expected preferential treatment as a “real” journalist. “But as we know what’s happened to these corporate media entities is they’re 100%. If you listen to MSNBC, it’s 100% anti-Trump, anti-American, anti-conservative every moment of every day. They never have any kind of honest treatment of anything,” Schlapp said.)

— A closer look at which states best represent America — and which fall short. Survey says Utah is furthest from the overall representation of the U.S., while Illinois is closest. – Emma Pitts (COMENT: Those who have the following demographics vote for Democrats: liberal, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Because voters who have the aforesaid demographics vote for Democrats and because Illinois voters overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, Illinois voters must overwhelmingly have the aforesaid demographics. Those who vote for Democrats overwhelmingly promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, and age discrimination and that is exactly what Democrat Illinois elected official promote. If you backed out Chicago voters, and especially if you backed out Collar County voters too, Illinois would be to the right of Utah. In the 2022 Illinois gubernatorial election, Republican Bailey won in all but 17 of Illinois’ 102 counties.)
https://www.deseret.com/2024/2/21/24079255/united-states-represent-electoral-presidential-candidates-caucuses
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No single state can perfectly represent the United States in all aspects due to the country’s vast diversity, but Illinois had a “94% similarity when all demographics are averaged.” “It’s most similar in terms of gender, age, the share of residents born in the U.S. and the unemployment rate, with more than 99% similarity for each of those metrics,” according to the survey. Regarding representation, Utah ranked last place in the following categories, making it an atypical representation of the country: Religious composition of adults. Wealth gap. Age characteristics. However, every state contributes uniquely to the nation’s fabric, and the concept of being the “worst” or “best” representative is largely subjective and dependent on the measures used for comparison.)

The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 hired me as a GS-7 (currently $54,728/year) Revenue Officer because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, or someone whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time who would take the job.

DAILY MAIL
— Black Chicagoans slam Mayor Johnson for ‘replacing’ them with migrants, demanding ‘REPARATIONS’ carve-out on $6,000-a-year property taxes that whites, Asians and Hispanics would still have to pay. Chicago activists want city to exempt black residents from property tax. Flush with handouts, migrants are pricing them out of black areas, they say. – JAMES REINL

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Migrant crisis stirs tension in Oak Park, but village mounts a supportive response – Judith Crown
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/equity/migrant-crisis-arrived-oak-park-cold-night
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scaman says Cook County is reimbursing the village for monthly expenses of more than $300,000. “At this point, we’re going to see all the money we invested,” she said. At its Jan. 23 meeting, Oak Park trustees authorized staff to pursue a grant of $1.9 million through the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. The village received notice the following week that grant was approved. The funding will be used to provide aid to asylum-seekers through June 30. That will enable the village to continue helping migrants in a different shelter because asylum-seekers staying at the Carleton and West Cook YMCA must leave by the end of February.)

WEDNESDAY JOURNAL
— The uncomfortable truth – Jonathan Panton
https://www.oakpark.com/2024/02/20/the-uncomfortable-truth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some may live in denial, but entering the United States illegally is a crime. The village of Oak Park has continually used the term “asylum-seeker” to hide the truth. First, the term “asylum-seeker” is misleading. Applicants seeking asylum protection have the burden of (1) proving that they suffered past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution; (2) the applicant is a member of a protected ground (race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, political opinion); (3) there is a connection between the harm the applicant suffered and their protected ground; and (4) the applicant either fears harm from the home country’s government or the home country is unable or unwilling to control a private person. INA§101(a)(42)(A). Asylum is designed to protect those who meet these four elements. In the fiscal year of 2023, asylum relief was denied in the majority of cases. While some individuals are genuinely escaping persecution, there are many others who unlawfully enter the United States for economic opportunities. This does not warrant asylum protection. The primary job of a government is to keep its citizens safe. In 2023, Customs and Border Patrol had 3,201,144 encounters with illegal immigrants. A serious concern is the lack of vetting of illegal immigrants in the United States. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens stated on X (Twitter) that his agents arrested an average of 47 individuals every day in 2023 who had “serious criminal histories.” Moreover, those figures only included individuals who have been apprehended. In 2023, 860,000 “gotaways” unlawfully entered the United States. These individuals pose safety concerns since their criminal backgrounds and whereabouts are unknown to law enforcement agencies. Oak Park’s Village Board broke its duty to residents by approving a $1.9 million grant providing various services for immigrants, some of whom may be illegal. The $360,000 allocated toward giving illegal immigrants various legal services is wasteful. The role of the government is to provide public services like police, fire, roads, schools. I don’t recall the village paying for residents’ legal services spent appealing their outrageous property tax bills. Yet Oak Park has no issue doling out money for legal representation to individuals whose first act in the United States may have been a crime.)
