CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH BIG PICTURE: Behind the wheel without a license: Migrants buying cars to make a life in Chicago – NELL SALZMAN (COMMENT: Where did the money come to buy these cars? I bought my first car in 1964 when I was 16. It was a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air. The money came from what I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers the previous 2 years.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/03/17/behind-the-wheel-without-a-license-migrants-buying-cars-to-make-a-life-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Behind a West Loop migrant shelter, dozens of cars sit without license plates. Several of their owners stand nearby, acknowledging they lack licenses to drive them. But they increasingly have been driving, according to a Tribune analysis of police data that suggests sharp rises in arrests among migrants for breaking traffic laws. The analysis found many are now being detained in Chicago each week for driving- or vehicle-related infractions, roughly at five times the rate from last summer. “Start where you are. Do what you can. Use what you have,” said Jose Fernandez, 30 from Trujillo, Venezuela. It’s difficult to know for sure how many migrants are charged or ticketed because police don’t keep precise data on when they arrest asylum-seekers. But what is often available in arrest data — the arrestees’ country of birth — suggests that driving- and vehicle-related offenses have become the primary reason migrants end up being detained by officers. The Tribune focused on arrestees born in Venezuela because census figures show few native Venezuelans lived in Chicago before Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing migrants north 18 months ago, and city officials say that Venezuelans make up the majority of the over 37,000 migrants who’ve arrived since.)

My Social Security is only $2,612/year because it is dramatically reduced because I get a CSRS pension. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I used my income to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. I paid into Social Security for 10 years 1964-1973 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.)
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/money-income-need-to-live-comfortably-us-data
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The study found that a person needs an average of $96,500 for sustainable comfort in a major U.S. city. It’s even more expensive for families, who need to make an average combined income of about $235,000 to support two adults and two children without the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck. The research also revealed that it takes the most money to live comfortably as a single person in New York City, requiring $66.62 in hourly wages, or an annual salary of $138,570. In six cities, a family must make over $300k to raise two kids comfortably. Two working adults need to make a particularly high combined income in San Francisco ($339,123); San Jose ($334,547); Boston ($319,738); Arlington, VA ($318,573); New York City ($318,406); and Oakland, CA ($316,243) to raise two children with enough money for needs, wants and savings.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/10/donald-trump-nikki-haley-voters-protest-2024-election/72868201007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All are longtime Republicans who backed Nikki Haley in her presidential bid. All held leadership positions in her campaign. And all three are deeply skeptical of Donald Trump, or outright opposed to him. MacGovern won’t vote for Trump. Giles doesn’t see herself supporting Trump this time after casting ballots for him twice. While Moore – also a two-time Trump voter – said she is leaning against backing him again, calling him a “self-serving narcissistic and a bully and he is not the role model I want for my children and grandchildren.” Now that Haley has exited the GOP presidential primary on the heels of big losses on Super Tuesday, attention is turning to Trump’s general election campaign and whether he can unite the GOP behind him to take on President Joe Biden. Haley demonstrated in state after state that a significant minority of primary voters wanted a candidate other than Trump, and the question is whether they will accept the polarizing former president as their nominee. The answer for some is an emphatic no. “I could never vote for Donald Trump,” MacGovern said.)

The principal job of government is to keep its citizens safe. – Michael McKenna (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders in Illinois not only do nothing to protect Illinois residents against illegals, they promote illegal immigration.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Democrat leaders alienate voters they can’t afford to lose – Brady Leonard (COMMENT: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration because illegals vote for Democrats. However, many Democrat voters lack money. The less money and/or the less education that you have, the more that illegal immigration harms you. Illegals take low-paid jobs that do not require college degrees. That drives wages down for low-paid jobs. My critics/opponents want cheap labor. My critics/opponents have always been immune from the harm that illegal immigration causes. They have/had wealthy parents who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, got them good jobs, etc. Unlike my critics/opponents, I had to work my way through college. I escaped the harm that illegal immigration causes by earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a professional license in 1981.)

AMAC
— Republican Neanderthals? – Robert B. Charles
https://amac.us/newsline/society/republican-neanderthals/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump calls Biden “Sleepy Joe,” a term Reagan would not use, but Democrats are barrel-bottom deep. Republicans are mocked by Obama for “clinging to their guns and bibles,” as “Deplorables” by Hillary Clinton, then 70 million called “enemies of the republic,” French Revolution talk. Now, says Biden, if you are not hysterical with the climate, if you are unsure, you are a “Neanderthal.” Really? As Biden toured a remote bit of the southern border, he sounded the ultimate ideologue, asserting a dead Senate bill legalizing 5000 illegals daily was good policy, blaming Republicans for not passing it, taking no ownership of twisting asylum laws and not deporting drug and sex traffickers. He made no mention of eight million illegals shipped nationwide, record drug overdoses, crime, and homelessness. He took no ownership of his anti-citizen approach, one that – with impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas – fails to enforce seven laws requiring detention, presumably hoping illegals will vote for him in 2024, either without an ID (where allowed) or with a driver’s license, where illegals get them. The duplicity, cynicism, and anti-constitutional nature of all this, illegally populating the country, pushing illegal voting, concentrating power in one party, elevating national insecurity – is downright frightening. No president in American history has ever willingly abetted enemies of the country – here drug and human traffickers, known criminals, and potential terrorists – ignoring the citizens’ needs for political gain. No president has ever responded so glibly to thousands of violent crimes annually (8,000 to 10,000) committed by non-citizens. Two-thirds (64 percent) of federal crimes are now committed by non-citizens. No president has responded to brutal citizen murders, like the young nursing student running on her own college campus, killed by a 26-year-old non-citizen, twice caught, twice released – with the audacity to say, the current state of affairs, which he plainly authored, is the fault of Republicans.)

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.)

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.”)

— In Virginia, Gov. Pritzker steps up attacks on ‘stupid and ignorant’ Donald Trump. Gov. J.B. Pritzker, keynoting a fundraiser for the Democratic Party of Virginia, said Saturday Trump will “spew his hateful lies, his vitriol, his dark vision for this country, and he’ll do everything he can to claw his way back into office. But we’re not going to let him, are we.” – Lynn Sweet

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.)

— SCOTUS OKs Admissions Discrimination at TJ High. 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.)

FORBES
— All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government (GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969), they gave preference big time to their employees who were Democrat, and especially to those who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

PEW RESEARCH
— Who Are You? The Art and Science of Measuring Identity – SCOTT KEETER, ANNA BROWN AND DANA POPKY (COMMEMT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who use their targets’ demographics against their targets the most. I would focus on those who target those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those who target those who share their own demographics to curry favor with those who do not share their demographics.)
https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2024/02/12/who-are-you-the-art-and-science-of-measuring-identity/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our main religion question asks respondents to choose from 11 groups that encompass 97% of the U.S. public: eight religious groups and three categories of people who don’t affiliate with a religion. Other, less common faiths are measured by respondents writing in their answer. Our questions have evolved in response to a rise in the share of Americans who do not identify with any religion and to the growing diversity in the country’s population. (Chapter 1) Measuring income is challenging because it is both sensitive and sometimes difficult for respondents to estimate. We ask for a person’s “total family income” the previous calendar year from all sources before taxes, in part because that may correspond roughly to what a family computed for filing income taxes. To reduce the burden, we present ranges (e.g., “$30,000 to less than $40,000”) rather than asking for a specific number. (Chapter 2) We ask about political party affiliation using a two-part question. People who initially identify as an independent or “something else” (instead of as a Republican or Democrat) and those who refuse to answer receive a follow-up question asking whether they lean more to the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. In many of their attitudes and behaviors, those who only lean to a party greatly resemble those who identify with it. (Chapter 3) Our gender question tries to use terminology that is easily understood. It asks, “Do you describe yourself as a man, a woman or in some other way?” Amid national conversation on the subjects, gender and sexual orientation are topics on the cutting edge of survey measurement. (Chapter 4) In part because we use U.S. Census Bureau estimates to statistically adjust our data, we ask about race and Hispanic ethnicity separately, just as the census does. People can select all races that apply to them. In the future, the census may combine race and ethnicity into one question. (Chapter 5) A person’s age tells us both where they fall in the life span, indicating what social roles and responsibilities they may have, and what era or generation they belong to, which may tell us what events in history had an effect on their political or social thinking. We typically ask people to report just the year of their birth, which is less intrusive than their exact date of birth. (Chapter 6)

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.)

(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.)

BOSTON GLOBE
— In building a case for local reparations, Embrace Boston report aims to connect past to present – Tiana Woodard (COMMENT: How long have your ancestors been in America? Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more reparations that you should pay. 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.)

FORBES
— To get more votes from those who are the following, Democrat and RINO candidates ever-increasingly promise to give them more preference: minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those who ancestors have not been America for a long time. 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. I am not any of 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 HILL
— 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.)

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.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Government shouldn’t have the power to discriminate based on race – Julian Adorney (COMMENT: Life is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to minorities and/or females is to discriminate against Whites and/or males. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action and DEI big time to give preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from minorities and/or females, Democrat and RINO politicians use DEI to give preference to minorities and/or females.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2861205/government-shouldnt-have-the-power-to-discriminate-based-on-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book The End of Race Politics, Coleman Hughes takes aim at the spread of diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology in the U.S. government. Instead of DEI that discriminates on the basis of race, he argues, we should adopt colorblindness as a national policy. What is colorblindness? Hughes defines it this way: “We should treat people without regard to race, both in our public policy and in our private lives.” One reason to adopt colorblindness as a national policy is that the government cannot be trusted with such a weighty power as picking and choosing which skin colors to favor and which ones to disadvantage. The government’s race-based classifications are completely arbitrary. Hughes notes that the current five racial categories (black, Hispanic, white, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American/Alaska Native) were developed by the Carter administration and are enormously inconsistent. For example, Pakistanis are considered to be Asian. But Afghans right next door are considered to be white. The arbitrariness with which these lines were drawn isn’t fixable; it’s baked into the cake. Race is a social construct and is at least somewhat fuzzy, so racial categorization means the government will inevitably rely on crude measures to try to decide who fits into which bucket. . .There’s an even bigger problem: History shows that governments can’t be trusted with the power to discriminate. Slavery was the law of the land for 89 years (1776-1865), and Jim Crow for another 100 (1865-1965). For most of our nation’s history, the U.S. government wielded its power to place a boot on the neck of people of a specific skin color. A mere six years ago, then-president Donald Trump was reported as referring to Haiti and African nations as “s***hole countries” from which we shouldn’t want more immigrants. Is this really the government that social justice warriors want to endow with the power to make more decisions on the basis of race? This point should be especially salient for proponents of DEI. Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most popular advocates of DEI in the United States, proposed the creation of a new Department of Anti-Racism with totalitarian powers to police Americans’ speech and actions. But in How to Be An Antiracist, Kendi said that the United States has “stage four” racism (comparable to stage four cancer). He says racism and white supremacy have “spread to nearly every part of the body politic.” If the United States is as irredeemably racist as he claims, who does he imagine will end up staffing his new Department of Anti-Racism? Where will he find the saints necessary to discriminate in the “right” way rather than use their enormous powers to discriminate the “wrong” way? Hughes notes that the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement fought for the idea that our government should be colorblind. The abolitionist Wendell Phillips said in a speech in 1867, “When once the nation is absolutely, irrevocably pledged to the principle that there shall be no recognition of race by the United States or by State law, then the work of the great anti-slavery movement which commenced in 1831, is accomplished.”)

The downpayment came from what earned a) working for IRS for 15 months, b) working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for 18 months, and c) working full-time for that store for 7 months before that. That money also enabled me to buy a new Corvette in 1971 and to pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millions of young Americans seem to have given up on their economic future, turning instead to “doom spending.” Adults under 30 are moving back in with their parents at rates not seen since the Great Depression, giving up on the American dream of homeownership. So long as the uniparty in D.C. keeps spending like there’s no tomorrow, America’s youth will believe there’s no tomorrow for them.)

— Why this millionaire gifted his own money to Tulsa survivors seeking reparations. Reparations into his own hands: As the two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre await their day in court, philanthropist Ed Mitzen, who gifted $3 million to their families, reflects on why the wealthy White community needs to “step up.” (COMMENT: What arguments do your critics/opponents make that you should pay reparations? Mine stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that none of them fought for the Union Army in the Civil War, that I have a pension, that I am not poor, that I am old (born in 1948), that I am White, that I am male, that I have been married since 1978, that I have no children, that I am conservative, that I am Republican, that I avoided the Viet War draft, that I am Protestant, that I am German American, that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978.)

Hit by rising costs and boredom, retirees weigh going back to work. – Clare Ansberry (COMMENT: I should write a book about how impossible it was for me to get a job that would have been appropriate for someone with my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Employers do not want employees like me who fight political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Employers do not employees like me who have sued their employers. Employers do not want employees like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate. Employers do not want employees like me who will not cover up their wrong doing. Employers do not want employees like me who will not discriminate against anyone including those who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Employers want cheap labor. In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $150,075/year. Employers want employees who help them meet their Affirmative Action and DEI quotas, goals, and targets.)
