(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

My becoming a licensed CPA and my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32 and my earning a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31 frustrated my Democrat GAO superiors’ efforts to get rid of me.

— The ‘America First’ Solution For Farmers and Hotels. Illegals take bad jobs. My critics/opponents never had to take bad jobs. But I did. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not that, my wages would have been lower.

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Not College Material. I was not viewed as being college material. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness.

KEEN ON AMERICA
— Wealthy Families Game the College Admission Process. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to work my way through college.

— Ever since I was 24 years old in 1972 and bought a new town home in University Park, my critics/opponents have stressed that I would not have been able to do that if HUD had not given University Park a $30 million loan guarantee. Further, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I improperly, if not unethically, took advantage of government subsidy aimed at Blacks.

— Trump touts ‘worker-first’ economy. I was a worker 1962-1997. My critics/opponents look down on if not despise workers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that workers cause their own problems. In my defense, while I was a worker, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license. Because of that, in today’s dollars, my salary increased from $19.37/hour in 1966 to $153,151/year in 1997.

BOSTON GLOBE
— My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I was a union member for almost 12 years. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I improperly benefitted from being a union member during that time, that is, that if I had not been a union member, my salary would not have increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

FOX NEWS
— Gianno Caldwell mulls Senate bid as Chicagoans are ‘begging for change’ on crime woes. Public safety advocate weighs run for Dick Durbin’s seat as Trump pushes federal crime crackdown. Gianno began his government relations career serving as the Director of Government Relations for Naperville Township. His primary focus was to develop strategies to cut costs relative to transportation, healthcare, taxes, pensions, and local government. In this position, he successfully lobbied the reduction of property tax rates for the whole of Naperville Township.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gianno-caldwell-mulls-senate-bid-chicagoans-begging-change-crime-woes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican public safety advocate Gianno Caldwell is mulling a bid for the open Illinois Senate seat in 2026 amid growing conversations about crime in America’s cities. Earlier this month, Caldwell was the keynote speaker at the Illinois Republican Party’s Republican Day event at the state fair, where he touted his record on law and order. Caldwell’s brother, Christian, was killed in 2022 in a Chicago drive-by shooting at the age of 18. “I’ve been about this fight for many years, public service, I’ve worked in every level of government that you can imagine and certainly I think there’s time for a law-and-order U.S. Senate candidate to come to the forefront in Illinois,” said Caldwell, a Fox News contributor and founder of the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety. “My brother’s legacy has become my mission and to save lives,” Caldwell said. “And if that’s something that I can continue in a U.S. Senate seat, that’s worth considering for the many lives that have been lost and the legacies that need to be furthered in the state of Illinois and my home city of Chicago.” Caldwell’s hometown of Chicago is getting renewed attention as President Donald Trump wants to take National Guard and federal agent deployment to lower crime nationwide following the takeover of policing in Washington DC. Both cities have dealt with violent crime woes, which have led to teens and children dying in numerous tragic cases. “My brother’s murder was something that I thought needed to have a conversation to address what has been going on in Chicago,” Caldwell said. “So this impacted me in a very deep and personal way. And when I think about what President Trump is doing by saying, ‘Look, we’re doing this in DC already. We want to take this to other places around the country, I applaud him. Why? Because people have been begging for change in the city of Chicago.” Caldwell spoke even as a backlash has grown from Democrats who have said that the heavy law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital is over-the-top. “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is #UnAmerican,” Mayor Muriel Bowser posted to X last week.)
— Chicagoans are ‘begging for change’ amid Trump’s DC police takeover. Fox News contributor Gianno Caldwell explains that he is mulling a bid for U.S. Senate in Illinois amid crime woes in Chicago and other cities throughout the country.

Former Barack Obama chief of staff Bill Daley, a Chicago Democrat, and Ray LaHood, a Peoria Republican who served as Obama’s transportation secretary, rolled out a “Fair Maps Illinois” proposal this week that would end the process of state lawmakers drawing their own districts.

But the number of my subscribers who are my critics/opponents and who read my newsletters for opposition research increases. Further, subscribers and potential subscribers see that the following not only do not encourage reading my newsletters, but that they discourage reading my newsletters by taking adverse actions against me including more recently removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee last year and ending by service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. I should write about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.

My doing the following helped me survive for almost 18 years: a) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, c) I became a licensed CPA, d) I earned four more job-related professional certifications, and e) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Inside the facility where ICE is training recruits to take on Trump’s deportation goals. The first 6 months that I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer in 1971 was classroom training in the Loop. According to Google AI: key areas of Revenue Officer training include: “Tax Law and Procedures: This is fundamental, encompassing various aspects of tax law, regulations, and IRS procedures applicable to individuals and businesses. Business Law: Revenue officers may need to understand business law principles to navigate legal and financial situations encountered during their work. Investigative Techniques: They are trained in investigative methods to uncover discrepancies, errors, or potential fraud in tax filings. Collections Procedures: A significant part of the role involves working with taxpayers to discuss payment options and resolve delinquent tax accounts, according to ZipRecruiter. Training covers various collection strategies and techniques. Negotiation and Communication: Since they interact with taxpayers to discuss sensitive financial matters, revenue officers must possess strong negotiation and communication skills, says ZipRecruiter. Training often focuses on developing these interpersonal abilities. Ongoing Development: Revenue officers are expected to engage in continuous learning to stay abreast of changes in tax laws and regulations, industry trends, and best practices. In essence, IRS revenue officer training prepares individuals to effectively apply tax law, investigate tax-related issues, negotiate with taxpayers, and collect delinquent taxes in a professional and ethical manner.” In today’s dollars, my salary was $55,850/year.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At an obstacle course in the humid Georgia heat, an instructor shows recruits how to pull a wounded partner out of danger. In a classroom with desks cluttered with thick legal books about immigration law, recruits learn about how the Fourth Amendment governs their work. And on a firing range littered with shell casings, new recruits for Immigration and Customs Enforcement practice shooting their handguns. “Instructors, give me a thumbs up when students are ready to go,” a voice over the loudspeaker said before a group of about 20 ICE recruits practiced drawing and firing their weapons. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick, Georgia, is the epicenter of training for almost all federal law enforcement officers, including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are at the center of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Parents Outraged as Lyons Township Civics Assignment Pushes Political Labels on 16-Year-Olds. If I had been active in Republican politics when I was a Crete-Monee High School student, the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office would not have hired me in 1966. If I had been active in Republican politics when I was a UIC and NIU student, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had been active in Republican politics when I took graduate evening business courses at Loyola, the Democrats who ran IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If I had been active in Republican politics when I took graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, the Democrats who ran GAO would not have hired me in 1980 and promoted me in 1986. If I had been active in Republican politics when I took graduate evening finance courses at IIT, the Democrats who ran GAO would have forced me to retire earlier than they did.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Parents send their children to school to learn math, science, history, and civics – not to be pawns in a political mind game. Yet at Lyons Township High School, sophomores were handed a so-called “non-political quiz” in civics class that looks more like an exercise in political conditioning than education. The assignment, titled “Liberal vs. Conservative Style Non-Political Quiz,” presents students with a series of questions about trivial school-related scenarios – cafeteria food, classroom seating, sports uniforms, school mascots – and forces them into binary “liberal” or “conservative” categories. . .This is presented to 15 and 16-year-old students as a civics lesson. The problem? These questions have absolutely nothing to do with actual liberalism or conservatism in the American civic or political sense. They are arbitrary and misleading parallels that equate curiosity, creativity, or even preference for variety with being a “liberal,” while equating tradition or consistency with being “conservative.” In other words: if your child prefers the same lunch menu every week, they’re “conservative.” If they like trying a new sandwich, suddenly they’re “liberal.” This is not education – it’s indoctrination. . .This is the danger – conditioning young students to see normal preferences and personality traits through a false political lens. And worse, doing so under the guise of a neutral civics lesson, without parents’ knowledge. Civics, Not Social Engineering The goal of civics education should be to teach the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, how government functions, and why civic responsibility matters. It should not be to manipulate teenagers into political identity boxes through cafeteria hypotheticals and mascot debates. Parents need to know this is happening in their children’s classrooms. Thankfully, there are options. Illinois families do not have to accept indoctrination disguised as curriculum. What Parents Can Do Now is not the time to stop paying attention to what your kids are learning in high school. These years are some of the most formative – and potentially the most detrimental – of their lives. You need to be a part of it. Ask questions. Be present. And most importantly: make your kids show you their assignments. Groups like Awake Illinois provide resources and guidance on how parents can opt their children out of this type of political conditioning and restore civics education to what it’s supposed to be – education, not indoctrination. Visit Awake Illinois to learn more about your options and how to push back. Our kids deserve civics lessons grounded in truth and history – not politically loaded quizzes that sort teenagers into categories they never asked to be put in. The teacher responsible for distributing this assignment could not be reached for comment.)

The shift comes as the agency anticipates losing more than 5,000 employees by September, largely as a result of agents, analysts and others taking severance or early retirement packages offered by the Trump administration to try to reduce the budget. Instead of spending about 18 weeks training at the academy in Quantico, Va., the group of agents, tentatively scheduled to start in October, will receive eight weeks, according to the people. And the agents will no longer need to fulfill a longstanding requisite for joining the bureau: a bachelor’s degree.
