Because of that cap, since 2017, my wife and I can no longer pay less federal income tax by itemizing. Itemizing lowered my federal income tax bill 1972-1977 and lowered my and my wife’s federal income tax bill 1978-2017. We have deducted real estate taxes since 1978, I deducted real estate taxes 1972-1977, and I deducted education expenses 1972-1981 and 1992-1997.

— Connie Chung says booze and bawdy jokes helped her break into journalism’s boys club (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I soon learned that all but one of my Chicago Office superiors were Democrats who were older, White, male, big drinkers, big smokers, and/or big spectator sports watchers and betters. Because I have always been conservative, I rejected their strong advice to join them in those activities, that is, I rejected their strong advice to join their “boys club.” Because of that, they did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me. They rejected my emphasis on job-related education and professionalism. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS work experience, my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They overtly rejected my efforts to recruit them to join the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. If their leader had not gone on extended sick leave in 1985 because of his very heavy drinking, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS, would never had been able to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 or to promote to GS-13 in 1986. But their leader came back in 1987 and forced that GAO manager to retire in 1987. He then threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an extremely bad job assignment, unfair job performance expectations, and unfair job performance appraisal. He ranked me the lowest of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. He ever-increasingly turned against me my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. His ever-increasing adverse actions against me forced me to seek help from my Congressman Henry Hyde in 1989. If GAO had been unionized, I would have sought help from its union. But GAO did not unionize until 2007.)

My critics/ opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and with Duckworth. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt or become a licensed CPA in 1981, earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Further, according to them, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and she would have had far less income. Further, according to them, my wife and I would not have been able to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984.)
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259365/pro-life-group-urges-illinois-residents-to-vote-no-on-ivf-question
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Right to Life, a pro-life group active in the state, has expressed opposition to the question, noting that “in vitro fertilization is detrimental to the inherent value of life.” “All children are equal in the eyes of God and one of the most beautiful vocations in life is becoming a parent. Life in all its stages is precious, including embryos. This absolutely includes children born from in vitro fertilization (IVF),” the group said in a Sept. 14 emailed statement. “However, it is important to recognize the IVF process can be harmful to new human lives, often commodifies children, and the procedure does not honor the sanctity of life.” The Catholic Church teaches that while couples struggling to have children can use certain fertility treatments, the use of IVF is “morally unacceptable.” This is because IVF involves the use of artificial means to achieve pregnancy outside of sex between a husband and wife — the marital act — a disassociation that the Church teaches is contrary to the dignity of both parents and children. In addition, to maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos during the IVF process and routinely destroy or indefinitely freeze millions of undesired embryos. “We sincerely ask and urge you to vote NO in the advisory referendum regarding in vitro fertilization on the Illinois general election ballot,” Illinois Right to Life said.)

GAO’s employees decreased from more than 6,000 to less than 3,000 during those 18 years.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— From handshakes to hand-to-hand combat: Harris and Trump spar on abortion, economy, crowd size in first debate. Harris criticized Trump for the state of the economy and democracy when he left office, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the nation and after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump went after Harris for abandoning some of her past liberal positions and said: “She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.”

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of 1966 class. My ACT score was only 24.)

AXIOS CHICAGO
— Separatist movement heats up in Illinois (COMMENT: Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly do everything that they can to drive Republicans out of Illinois. Republicans who are considering leaving Illinois should consider what has happened in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Wheaton being overwhelmingly religious, conservative, and Republican and the prosperity and safety that comes with that was a very big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984. But Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasingly moved into and taken over DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton to take advantage of the prosperity, safety, and school rankings that Republicans created there. Since 2000, as homes are sold and bought, my precinct has gone from Republican to Democrat. Because that happened in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct, it can happen wherever Republicans move to. As Democrats and RINOs move in, prosperity, safety, and school rankings decrease.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How will the November 5, 2024 election impact you? My critics/opponents who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) will a) blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for the defeats that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct suffer, b) increase their efforts to stop me from sending out my newsletters, c) increase their efforts to stop everyone from reading my newsletters, and d) have a registered Republican voter in my precinct defeat me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2026. Previously, a) they removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) they ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) they ended my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) they gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) they ended my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, h) they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, i) they almost got ICRC to censure me for my newsletters in 2006, j) they ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, k) they ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and l) they tried to defeat me for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000. My critics/opponents destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. They have their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen

For me, it is my ability to put together and send out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning. Way back in the 1970s, in 1974 when I was 25 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors used up-or-out to write me off as being too old be promoted to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year). Nevertheless, I did get promoted to GS-13 by GAO in 1986 after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. Democrats and RINOs use up-or-out to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

— Protections sought for prison workers in closing of aging Illinois prison. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency shrank from over 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 because of Republican-led budget cuts. The Democrats who ran the agency protected their Democrat employees who were the following: minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. They got rid of their Republican employees who were the following: White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. When they got rid of me in 1997, I was one of the agency’s very few remaining Republican employees. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me sooner if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 and 1997, b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) earned a job-related professional license in 1981. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

It ever-increasingly, succeeds in a) demonizing, denigrating, and condemning Trump/Vance and the Republican Party platform and b) promoting Harris/Walz and the Democrat Party platform. The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, and Republican township/ward party organizations should be doing far more to stress a) reasons to vote for Trump/Vance and b) reasons to not vote for Harris/Walz. They should be issuing press releases at least weekly. – Dave Diersen

Further, I am motivated by the big adverse actions that the aforesaid who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican have taken against me.

While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my superiors were under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to promote Democrat women and especially those who were minority, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were the aforesaid and who my superiors promoted over me had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

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.

— Public higher education is essential to training our future workforce (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, because of their Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of their race and gender based preference giving, that is, because of their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, fewer and fewer and fewer high school students who are the following seek college degrees: Republican, White, male, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They see that under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the likelihood of their getting hired for jobs that require college degrees is less and less and less. After I graduated from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, it took me 10 months to get a job that required a college degree, and I got that job because the Democrats who ran IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or someone who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time who would take the job. None of my IRS coworkers had master’s degrees in business. IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. Further, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly view degrees from non-Ivy League universities as being worthless. So unless you can get a degree from an Ivy-League university, you are discouraged from trying to get one at all. My Democrat IRS and then GAO superiors ever-increasingly viewed as being worthless my aforesaid bachelor’s degree, my 1976 MBA from Loyola, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and my 1997 IIT master’s degree in financial markets and trading.)

https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/ap-is-usha-vances-hindu-identity-an-asset-or-a-liability-to-the-trump-vance-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Usha Chilukuri Vance loves her “meat and potatoes” husband, JD Vance. She explained to a rapt Republican National Convention audience how their vice-presidential candidate adapted to her vegetarian diet and even learned to cook Indian food from her immigrant mother. That image of her white, Christian husband making the spicy cuisine of her parents’ native state in South India is atypical for the leaders of a party whose members are still largely white and Christian. Her presence at the RNC sparked enthusiasm on social media among some Indian American conservatives, particularly Hindu Americans, although most Indian Americans identify as Democrats. But for all Usha Vance shared about their identity-blending marriage in her speech last month in Milwaukee, which was a little over four minutes, she made no mention of her Hindu upbringing or her personal faith and their interfaith relationship – biographical details that have exposed her to online vitriol and hate.)

— Trump Campaign Uses Statements From Gold Star Families to Attack Harris
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/us/politics/trump-harris-gold-star-families.html
WASHINGTON POST
— Trump eyes plan that may give Elon Musk role in auditing U.S. agencies (COMMENT: Just kidding, but if Trump is elected, maybe he will give me a “role in auditing U.S. agencies.” I audited U.S. agencies for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. I passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981 and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned master’s degrees in business in1976), in accounting in1980, and in finance in 1997. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— Did you get scholarships? I did not. My critics/opponents have always used that against me. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school. Further, because my parents were not poor but they lacked money, I had to work my way through college. Instead of studying, I washed dishes while I was in high school and I delivered mail while I was in college. Consequently, my ACT score was lower and my GPAs were lower. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents were wealthy and who got scholarships because their ACT score and their GPA were high.

— Trump’s plan to slash government could hurt Republicans in a key House race. For nearly a decade, former president Donald Trump has rallied voters around a cry to cut the size of the federal government and “drain the swamp.” (COMMENT: When Republicans slash federal agency budgets, the Democrats who run those agencies get rid of their Republican employees first and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) earned a master’s degree in Financial Markets and Trading from IIT in 1997.)

— Here’s why we celebrate Labor Day and what you need to know about its creation. A federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September each year, Labor Day is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are vehemently anti-union. They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years (1966-1969 and 1971-1980) and they hint/imply/argue/shout that because of that, I was grossly overpaid. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress a) that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

(COMMENT: The importance of GAO’s mission and the importance of the work that I did as a GAO Analyst helped me deal with my Democrat superiors’ ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my passing on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and e) my earning more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. They rudely forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

— Gotion is presenting sponsor of Manteno Oktoberfest – Chris Breach (COMMENT: Who sponsors the Independence Day parades and fireworks in your area? In 2021, the Democrats and RINOs who run Wheaton stopped Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. I should write a book about that. I had served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Manteno resident Annette LaMore, who is a spokeswoman for the Concerned Citizens, said she was blown away that Gotion is sponsoring the Oktoberfest. “We cannot believe it,” she said. “This is a foreign entity who is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party. Why in the world are we inviting them into our town, making them the sponsor of our biggest fundraiser of the year?” The CCOM is entering a float in the Oktoberfest parade, and LaMore said she was asked by Josh Stauffenberg, chair of the chamber’s board of directors, to not use “No Gotion” signs on the float because it didn’t want anyone protesting another chamber member. LaMore said the CCOM will comply with the request. “So, do I have mixed feelings about all this? Yeah, you bet,” she said. “So, from our point of view, Gotion is not doing anything to make Manteno a better place to live. We do not want Gotion here. We do not want chemicals in our town. We do not want dangerous, possible explosions and fires. “… We’re standing up for our town. We want our town to be a safe place for all of us to live.” ONLY ONE TO BID Knox said Gotion was the only chamber member to put in a bid to be the presenting sponsor. He said the $50,000 is a quite a jump. “It’ll really enhance the festival,” he said. “I’m excited for the community and to see the new additions that we’re going to be bringing in with the investment that they’re helping us make.” Knox said the chamber has heard some concerns about Gotion being the presenting sponsor, but that comes with the territory. “We’re just going to push forward and show [the community] all the great things that they are bringing,” he said. “We can’t lose sight that there’s the whole other side of the coin that’s optimistic and excited for this kind of partnership and presenting partnership.” The influx of money is allowing the chamber to add to the Oktoberfest including a drone show Friday night, a partnership with River Valley Animal Rescue with the Makola Gold Star family project, performance stages and entertainment all four nights. “We’re upping the ante,” Knox said. LaMore, a lifelong Manteno resident, said she plans to attend the Oktoberfest. “I have heard from some people who have said, ‘I don’t even think I want to go this year,’” she said. “That’s the word on the street that I’ve heard.”)

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Illinois Bans Most Employers from Using E-Verify – Jonathan Ellett
https://www.fairus.org/legislation/state-and-local/illinois-bans-most-employers-using-e-verify
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) recently signed into law a bill that significantly hampers employers’ ability to utilize E-Verify to check the work authorization of their prospective employees. Following California’s lead, Illinois becomes the second state to impose restrictions on E-Verify usage. This legislation was not the first time the use of E-Verify has been challenged in Illinois. In August 2007, the legislature passed a law which explicitly prohibited employers from using E-Verify until the U.S. government could prove its accuracy. This effort was short-lived, as an Illinois District Court struck down the law in March 2009 for violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Then, in 2023, SB 1515, was introduced which prohibited employers from voluntarily enrolling in E-Verify unless they were required to do so under state or federal law. However, Governor Pritzker vetoed that legislation stating that the bill did not do enough to protect “workers.” This year, legislation to restrict the use of E-Verify was reintroduced. Section 13(b) of the Act, broadly prohibits the use of E-Verify. Section 13(b) reads that an “employer shall not impose work authorization verification or re-verification requirements greater than those required by federal law.” As federal law does not require the use of E-Verify, this means that Illinois employers may not use E-Verify to check whether their employers are work authorized unless there is some reason (such as prior violations) that the federal government requires them to. This prohibition applies to both public and private employers. Supporters of the bill claim to be helping workers from some sort of injustice. State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes (D-Chicago), the primary sponsor of the new law, stated that his motivation was to protect “marginalized workers” from being flagged during the employment authorization process due to grammatical errors. “With this law, we can correct bureaucratic errors that would otherwise be detrimental to their income and livelihoods.” Another sponsor, State Representative Eva-Dina Delgado (D-Chicago), proclaimed that in “too many other states, E-Verify is being abused. In Illinois, we are moving in the opposite direction.” While Illinois enacted legislation that helps illegal aliens violate the law by taking jobs and driving down wages, FAIR will continue to advocate mandatory E-Verify laws at the federal, state and local levels because it is a simple tool that works. As we detailed in a FAIR issue brief, illegal immigration fell by as much as 50 percent in a single year in states with mandatory E-Verify laws. Moreover, E-Verify eliminates the main incentive for illegal aliens to come to the United States: work.)

— Do Americans Have a Constitutional Right to an AR-15? Gun-Rights Groups Ask the Supreme Court. Firearms advocates fight state restrictions on the most popular rifle in the U.S. – Jacob Gershman
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/do-americans-have-a-constitutional-right-to-an-ar-15-gun-rights-groups-ask-the-supreme-court-aa34fd50
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In July, the Supreme Court declined to review a similar case on Illinois’s AR-15 ban. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, urged the court to clarify what makes a weapon dangerous and unusual. But legal observers say the Supreme Court is more likely to take up the case out of Maryland. The lower-court litigation, unlike in the Illinois case, is completed with a final judgment against the plaintiffs and amassed a more extensive evidentiary record. The Fourth Circuit ruling also carries more weight coming from the full bench instead of a typical three-judge panel.)

My father lived in it 1926-1945 and then 1954 until he died in 1969. My mother lived in it 1954 until she died in 2016. My bother lived in it 1954 until he died in 2022. My grandfather on my father’s side had it built in 1926 on land that my great great father bought in 1864. It was upgraded and maintained well, but not after my father died in 1969. In its garage, I stored my 1958 Chevrolet Bel 1964-1966, my 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 1966-1967, my 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, my 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1971, and my 1972 Corvette 1971-1984.)

— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)

— Democrats say “Harris’ momentum continues as she ties with Trump in these swing states.” I know a lot about polling. During the last 8 years that I worked for GAO at the GS-13 Step 3-10 Levels, currently $123,136-$150,075/year, a) GAO provided me with extensive training on polling and b) I played a major role in developing, administering, summarizing, analyzing, and reporting on two major nationwide polls of financial institutions. I learned a lot about how polls are developed, administered, summarized, analyzed, and reported to achieve desired results.

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

The ‘forgotten generation,’ born between 1965 and 1980, launched their careers at the start of a massive shift in how Americans work. – Hannah Miao (COMMENT: Everyone should save for their retirement like they might be forced to retire sooner than they had planned. Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1973 in today’s dollars. Since then, I earned three job -related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981). If my Democrat superiors had not wasted my career and had not forced me to retire early, my CSRS pension would be $153,600/year.)

They were furious when IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974 and when GAO promoted me in1986.

POLITICO
— State delegations won’t stay at the Trump hotel. The Illinois delegation took the hotel that had a prime view of the former president’s property. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/08/19/dnc-live-updates-coverage/hotel-politics-00174668
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nearly 5,000 delegates who are visiting Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention are staying in eight hotels in the city’s downtown. We’ve got the list. ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-2fcf-d62b-a7df-ffeff6860000 ) Convention organizers have contracted with about 40 hotels to accommodate all the entourages and guests connected to the delegates and their state parties. But one hotel isn’t in the mix: Donald Trump’s Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. It’s not just that it’s a nonunion hotel — a requirement for the Democratic Party when it was looking for a convention town — it’s because of Trump. “Our party stands for unity, hope, and freedom — values that stand in fundamental opposition with everything the Trump name and brand represent,” Emily Soong, a spokesperson for the convention said. When it came time to assign delegations to the different hotels, Illinois picked the Royal Sonesta Chicago Hotel, which looks right at the river — and across from Trump hotel. The Illinois Democrats decided they would “take it on the chin” so that other delegations wouldn’t have to look out their windows to see the giant T-R-U-M-P sign on the side of the building, according to one Democratic insider. That also gives them a clear view of the trolling messages Democrats are projecting onto the building. Last night, my colleague Adam Wren spotted “PROJECT 2025 HQ,” among other messages, being beamed onto the building above that TRUMP sign.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: TONIGHT: Governor Pritzker Soft-Launches 2028 Presidential Campaign. CHICAGO — Last night, Americans heard from Joe Biden, whom elite Democrats unceremoniously removed from the ticket in an undemocratic process. Tonight, voters will listen to presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker, who will use his prime-time speech at the DNC as a stepping stone for a future presidential run – just as he used his time as governor to position himself as a viable national candidate. FIRST: Pritzker traveled to New Hampshire in 2022 to raise his profile and set up a future presidential run. THEN: Pritzker refused to quash rumors that he would leave Illinois to run for president when Democrats launched their soft coup against Joe Biden. THEN: When Kamala Harris was announced as the Democrats’ preferred choice, even though she never received a vote outside of California, Pritzker launched a full-court press campaign to become her vice president. NOW: After failing to earn the nod as the vice-presidential nominee, Pritzker immediately pivoted, making an effort to become the Democrats’ choice for president in 2028. Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement on Pritzker: “JB Pritzker failed Illinois as its governor allowing our state to be overrun by illegal border-crossers, out-of-control crime, billions of dollars in new taxes, and as a result, our great state is in slow decay. Illinois’ residents are leaving in unprecedented numbers due to Illinoisans being the overall highest taxed people in the nation. Businesses are taking flight leaving and Illinois’ citizens and taxpayers are left paying the check. As Pritzker soft-launches his campaign for president, Illinois families are hurting, and Pritzker doesn’t care – our state is just another stepping stone for him to advance his ambition while we are saddled with the heavy effect of his administration’s failed policies. One thing is clear from Pritzker’s prime-time speaking slot — the only way our state will have actual representation is by voting Republican in November.”

— As the DNC in Chicago again sees large protests, a new generation of demonstrators finds inspiration in the past. – Mark Strassmann (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who blamed those like for Vietnam.

Those who supported the war stressed that I was 1-A and that I avoided the draft.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dnc-chicago-protests-2024-bill-ayers/
(COMMENT: The protesters’ targets in both 1968 and 2024: Democrats, the party in power at the White House. And the driving issue once again: a war. In 1968 it was Vietnam. Now, it’s Gaza. “We’re anti-war, anti-intervention. We’re opposed to U.S. violence,” Nimza said. Ayers also feels other issues from 1968 persist to this day.)

HR MAGAZINE
— Democrat and RINO employers use DEI to not hire Republicans, to not retain Republicans, to not promote Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors successfully used DEI to force me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Starting in 1980, they successfully used DEI to delay my promotions. After 1986, they successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 in 1988.
