— A drastic influx of migrants to so-called “sanctuary cities” in recent months has even some of President Joe Biden’s staunchest Democrat allies growing increasingly frustrated over the administration’s open borders policies. – Andrew Abbott (COMMENT: Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RIMOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor. Because of that, the Democrats and RINOs who run Congress will ever-increasingly print more money, that is, drive up the national debt, to pay for housing, feeding, clothing, giving medical care to, educating, employing, etc. more and more and more illegals. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Pritzker will “offer” the leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district lots of that money, that is, Pritzker will force them to take lots of that money to support illegals in your county, township, municipality, and school district.)

— Nikki Haley Targets Elderly Politicians Who ‘Refuse To Give Up Power’ (COMMENT: My critics/opponents promote “up-or-out,” except, of course, when “up-or-out” impacts them personally. My critics/opponents demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an unmitigated failure because I never made GS-14 (currently $129,732-$168,569/year), that I dd not make GS-13 (currently $109,732-$142,650/year) until I was 38, and that I did not make GS-12 (currently $92,279-$119,964/year) until I was 25.

— 40% of Milwaukeeans are working ‘bad jobs’ – Joy Powers, Robert Larry (COMMENT: To justify bringing in more and more and more illegals to America, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs argue that illegals are more than happy to take the bad jobs that citizens of America fail/refuse to take. But are they, and if they are, how long will they be happy? I could tolerate the bad jobs that I had because I anticipated/expected that I would be moving up the ladder because I had a) earned a high school diploma when I was 17 in 1966, b) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, c) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, d) earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and e) became a licensed CPA when I was 32. To keep illegals happy, anticipate that employers will ever-increasingly replace their Republican employees with illegals.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-florida-lgbtq-safe-places-20230902-gq5hpy6jzrgotehogxgcj3lwwy-story.html
— Democrats acknowledge that “Ahead of Labor Day, Illinois House Speaker Emanuel ‘Chris’ Welch’s staff say he’s rebuffed their efforts to unionize.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee and if GAO had been unionized in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors might not have succeeded in taking the many adverse actions against me that they did. In 1974, the National Treasury Employees Union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that if IRS had not been unionized, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. In my defense, the IRS manager who promoted me those three times gave weight to the fact that I had started taking job-related graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Virtually none of my coworkers did anything like that.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-chris-welch-illinois-house-staff-union-20230902-wsqqjsqw5jbohcpyrisbml46sy-story.html
— Illinois has always taken the lead in promoting Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, Illinois has always taken the lead in promoting patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1980, IRS’s Chicago office in 1971, and the Park Forest Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the jobs. Neither my parents, my grandparents, nor any of my ancestors were government employees. Nothing indicates that I would ever had been a postal employee if my high school friend had not asked be to join him in taking the postal employment examination in Harvey in 1966. That led to my taking and passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. That led to my accepting a job offer from IRS in 1971 because my Chicago Heights Firestone Store boss fired me because I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Keith Pekau Using Democratic Playbook, Targets IR Publisher, Constituents with Baseless Election Board Complaint to Intimidate, Silence Political Enemies
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/09/breaking-keith-pekau-using-democratic-playbook-targets-ir-publisher-constituents-with-baseless-election-board-complaint-to-intimidate-silence-political-enemies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Taking a page out of embattled President Joe Biden’s political playbook, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau now has initiated lawfare against his top political rival, IR Publisher Scott Kaspar. Last night, on a Friday evening, just before this Labor Day weekend, Kaspar was served by Pekau’s cousin with a complaint signed by Pekau’s Mayor Pro-Tem and Orland Township committeewoman, Cindy Katsenes. The complaint was filed by Katsenes’ husband, Orland Park real estate lawyer Chris Katsenes. Friday’s complaint against an Illinois Review owner marks the fulfillment of a threat first launched by IL GOP officials on April 7, 2023 – Good Friday – and carried out by several others connected with IL GOP leadership over the Easter holiday weekend. Pekau has curried favor with IL GOP state central committee members Jeanne Ives and Sean Morrison, both of whom had endorsed Pekau in his failed congressional run last year. Ives, along with RNC national committeeman Richard Porter, were special guests invited by Katsenes to a get-out-the-vote rally just before the April 4th consolidated elections. Pekau and Katsenes would see sweeping losses on April 4th, including 9 of their 10 endorsed candidates and a failed referendum in which two-thirds of the voters rejected Pekau’s attempted power grab to become a strong mayor like Chicago. Katsenes’ complaint against the IR Publisher alleges various infractions for a mail piece endorsing Katsenes and others for re-election to the Orland Park village board put out by Kaspar and former Cook County commissioner and former Orland Township committeewoman Elizabeth Doody Gorman.)

— Democrats say “Potential candidates can start circulating petitions Tuesday as election year officially gets underway.” What offices will be on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Which candidates are running for those offices? What do you know about those candidates? How much does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain know about those candidates? Starting in 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I would circulate petitions in my precinct for all the Republican primary candidates. Typically, I would get 30 signatures for each candidate. But I am increasingly discouraged from doing that because too many candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. Most commonly, they demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being far too conservative, and therefore, the more that I do to help elect a candidate in a primary, if that candidate wins that primary, the more votes that candidate will lose in the general election. They hint/imply/argue/shout that candidates who I help win Republican primary elections are too conservative to win general elections. Further, candidates routinely get copies of the petitions that their opponents filed and look for anything that they can use against their opponents. They especially look to see who circulated petitions for their opponents and what they can use about those circulators against their opponents. Beyond my being demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being far too conservative, my demographics are terrible: White, male, older, draft-avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America for a long time, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 26 years, and someone who fights against the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The more that candidates are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs, the more that they do not want me to circulate their petitions. In my defense, political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform, The Republican Party platform in conservative. If you are not going to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE & CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— America Overrun, America Transformed – Phillip Linderman (COMMENT: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly illegally flood America with citizens of foreign countries a) who have demographics that vote for Democrats and b) who can/will take low-paid jobs, that is, people who need/want massive government assistance, that is, those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/america-overrun-america-transformed/
https://cis.org/Linderman/America-Overrun-America-Transformed
(FROM THE ARTICLE: By the end of four years in power, the Biden administration will almost surely have admitted over 10 million illegal immigrants. Todd Bensman’s Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History is an essential book for understanding this migrant maelstrom. Reading his analysis of the unfolding border catastrophe can be wrenching, even infuriating, but conservatives need to grapple with a historic disaster, and the valuable material presented in this important book. Overrun is a fire-bell ringing in the night. A White House that erases national borders, ignores federal laws, and refuses to expel illegal arrivals is on a mission to fundamentally change the country. While the country’s situation is dire, even desperate, Overrun also offers crucial policy fixes, most notably the need to “tear down and rebuild the American asylum system.” Few people know more about Biden’s disastrous policies than Bensman, a former intelligence official for the Texas Department of Public Safety, a border-security analyst, and an award-winning investigative journalist. As the reader would expect, Overrun examines much public policy, but it is also filled with human-interest stories based on the author’s field interviews with migrants, criminal operatives, and officials, both honest and corrupt. Bensman’s field research is unmatched; in compiling this book, the author dodged death threats and criminal gangs in his travels to the boondocks across Mexico and Central America. Overrun is not “anti-immigrant.” Recounting his own family’s immigration history, Bensman writes with humanity about the many migrants he interviewed. But he also understands that concentrating on individual human dramas, as establishment journalists always do, obscures the true national tragedy: the unlawful and reckless federal government actions at the center of these historic events. More than anything, Overrun details the Biden administration’s unprecedented, corrupt mismanagement of our country’s frontier. Government corruption is not just about gaining illicit financial profit; it is also about systematically upending rule of law by neglecting to enforce statutes and regulations, and issuing unlawful executive orders — exactly the strategy Biden officials are using to bypass Congress and force their radical immigration agenda on the nation.)

NEW AMERICAN
— Young Men Lean Right as Ideological Gap Between Sexes Widens – Luis Miguel (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following who have moved the furthest to the left since 2000: Republican a) activists, b) elected officials, c) party leaders, d) candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, e) conservative leaders, and f) religious leaders. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/young-men-lean-right-as-ideological-gap-between-sexes-widens/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the 1970s, the group Monitoring the Future has kept track of where young people fit on the political spectrum. Over the last three years, their survey results have shown that approximately one-fourth of high school senior boys identify as “conservative” or “very conservative.” By contrast, 13 percent of boys surveyed identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.” In other words, nearly twice as many boys in their senior year are conservative than are liberal. This has not always been the case. In past eras, such as the early 2000s, liberal high school boys outnumbered conservatives in Monitoring the Future’s surveys. And during the days of the Jimmy Carter administration, both boys and girls swung left. But the shift of young men to the right is more notable in light of the much more dramatic shift of young women to the left. Per Monitoring the Future’s polling, the percentage of high school senior girls who identify as “liberal” or “very liberal” rose from 19 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in 2022. In last year’s survey, only 12 percent of girls said they were conservative — half the percentage of boys. This suggests a growing ideological gap between the sexes, with men becoming increasingly conservative and women increasingly liberal.)

— Democrats crow that “In Chicago visit, Jill Biden calls union workers backbone of this country.” I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

CHRISTIAN POST
— Orland Park Stephen Pastor indicted with Trump in Georgia released on bail with help of conservative group – Ryan Foley
https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-indicted-with-trump-in-georgia-released-on-bail.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lee’s gratitude on Sunday likely stems from his inclusion on the Living Word prayer list for Aug. 27, which calls for “prayers of guidance and blessing” for the Lee family “as they work for their current struggles, and a prayer of thanksgiving for support.” In an appearance on “Diamond & Silk: The Podcast” Thursday, Lee’s attorney, David Shestokas, told the conservative influencer known as Silk that his client was due to report to jail the following day. He noted that if convicted, Lee faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison. After detailing how Fulton County had set Lee’s bond at $75,000, with the defendant expected to pay 10% upfront, Shestokas reported that the conservative advocacy organization Illinois Family Institute set up a defense fund for Lee that had raised almost $4,000. Silk, whose name is Herneitha Richardson, offered to “make a contribution and pay that $3,500,” instructing Shestokas to tell his client “don’t worry” because “Diamond and Silk: Chit Chat Live is going to pay that $3,500 that he needs.” “Once he [pays] that and if he’s found not guilty, will he get that money back?” Silk asked. After Shestokas responded in the affirmative, Silk urged Lee to donate the $3,500 to his church if/when he is found not guilty. The Illinois Family Institute’s efforts to raise money for Lee’s legal defense continue as the organization partners with a honey company called MakeHoneyGreatAgain.com, which has committed to donating “a significant portion of the proceeds from their honey sales” to Lee’s defense. In his conversation with Silk, Shestokas said Lee served as a chaplain to the New York Police Department and New York firefighters after 9/11. He also ministered to Hurricanes Katrina and Irma victims, the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, and the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Democrats crow that “Vivek Ramaswamy, the candidate with the least political experience, attended a town hall in 2003 where he asked why Americans should vote for the candidate with the least political experience.” What did you do in 2003? In 2003 I served as a) the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, c) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and I played a very big role in MTRO’s fundraiser and straw poll that year, e) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, and g) a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I organized a July 3rd picnic for the voters in my precinct and the precincts to the east and west that more than 200 attended including five Republican candidates for U.S. Senate: John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan. I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremony. I attended CPAC and the Chicago Conservative Conference.

DAILY MAIL
— ‘Forgotten’ middle class is WORSE off when they retire now compared to 20 years ago – ALEXA LARDIERI (COMMENT: If my Democrat GAO had not succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” 26 years ago in 1997 when I was 49, I would have been eligible for regular retirement 20 years ago in 2003 when I was 55. Because of my early retirement, my Civil Service Retirement System pension has always been dramatically reduced and it always will be dramatically reduced. In today’s dollars, it is a) only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and b) less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 when I was 23.)

— What did do 20 years ago, that is, what did you do in 2003? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

2003 should have been the year that I retired from GAO.

In 2003, I served as a) the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, c) an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and I played a very big role in MTRO’s fundraiser and straw poll that year, e) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee (GAC) member, f) an American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter board member, and g) a Republican Precinct Committeeman.

I organized a July 3rd picnic for the voters in my precinct and the precincts to the east and west that more than 200 attended including five Republican candidates for U.S. Senate: John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan.

I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremony.

I attended CPAC and the Chicago Conservative Conference.

I gathered signatures in my precinct on petitions for all the Republican primary candidates on the 2004 Republican primary ballot in my precinct.

— A time to celebrate labor’s successes and acknowledge its challenges in Illinois – Tim Drea and Pat Devaney (COMMENT: I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrats GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

— Democrats ever-increasingly blame DeSantis for Ryan Christopher Palmeter’s actions.

— Democrats say “Chicago mayor pledges full support at graduation of new police officers.” In December of 1971, when I was 23 years old, after 6 months of intensive classroom and on-the-job training, I became a GS-7 (currently $52,022/year) IRS Revenue Officer. According to IRS, “Their job is to collect taxes that are delinquent and have not been paid to the IRS and to secure tax returns that are overdue from taxpayers. The IRS currently has about 2,300 revenue officers (RO) working cases across the country. ROs educate taxpayers on their tax filing and paying obligations and provide guidance and service on a wide range of financial issues to help the taxpayer resolve their tax issues. They also ensure taxpayers are aware of their rights under the law and provide them with quality customer service. How ROs work: ROs conduct scheduled interviews with taxpayers and/or their representatives face-to-face or by telephone if appropriate. This is done as part of the process of collecting delinquent taxes and securing delinquent tax returns. Through interviews and research, the ROs get and analyze financial information to determine the taxpayer’s ability to pay their tax bill. Taxpayers could be individuals or businesses. ROs consider alternative means of resolving tax debt issues when the taxpayer cannot pay the debt in full and provide taxpayers with resources that can help including: Setting up payment agreements that allow the taxpayer to pay the bill over time. When appropriate, granting relief from penalties imposed when the tax bill is overdue.
Suspending collection of accounts due to financial hardship. The IRS makes every attempt to come to an agreement with the taxpayer, when this is not possible other enforcement actions may be taken.” IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. The Democrats who ran GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer and they wasted my knowledge of IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

But the Illinois governor has taken a page out of Newsom’s book, taking shots at DeSantis at various points. Newsom and Pritzker have moved to prevent what they dubbed “book banning” in Florida from happening in California or Illinois.

It was a serious miscalculation, and the realization of this foolish, unforced error is just beginning to sink in. Perhaps the most immediate consequence of this colossal blunder was that it instantly catapulted Trump to “legend” status in the eyes of the black men who lined the street as his motorcade wound its way to the Fulton County Jail last week. They see the mug shot as a symbol of “the man” sticking it to “the people,” a feeling with which they are intimately familiar.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Francis has drawn criticism for his stance on a number of issues, including his calls for gun control and his opposition to the death penalty. He’s come under fire for his emphasis on social justice issues and for his support for the creation of civil union laws for same-sex couples. “Homosexuals have a right to be part of the family,” he said in Francesco, a 2020 documentary about his life. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.” However, Francis’ comments were in reference to civil unions and did not condone those unions within the church. Francis has responded to previous criticism by saying it is an “honor” to be attacked by Americans.”

— Democrats say “Asylum-seekers’ long wait for work permits: ‘It feels terrible, especially because I’m used to working’ Most migrants must wait 150 days after filing for asylum to apply for a work permit and can’t get that until their application has been pending at least 30 days, often longer.” If there had been as many illegals when I was young, they would have gotten the jobs that I got.

— Democrats say “A year since the first buses of migrants arrived in Chicago, the journey to asylum for Vannessa Olivera, others is just beginning. More than 13,000 immigrants have arrived since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started sending them away on buses — so far 197 of them coming to the Chicago area.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.

— Democrats offer “a free job search workshop series for parents who have taken significant time out of the workforce to provide child care.” My outstanding mother devoted her life to raising me and my brother. She stayed home and raised us. She never attended high school. After her husband died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, she earned a graduate equivalency diploma and got a job in a dental office. To paint my father as having been filthy rich, my critics/opponents have always stressed that he made enough money so that she could stay home and raise me and my brother. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He had less money a) because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and had to pay the high cost of insulin and b) because he sent me and my brother on parochial grade schools. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. But because he had diabetes, he never attended college. Because of the aforesaid, I had to work my way through college and I did work my way through college.

— Democrats say “SAT test canceled at three Chicago sites. Imagine studying all summer for a college admission test, only to be told the test is canceled.” My critics/opponents are nasty/vicious. The biggest decisions that I made in my life include a) going to college, b) taking college preparatory courses in high school, c) getting the best ACT score that I could, and d) graduating in the upper 20% of my class. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the real reason for the aforesaid was my wanting to avoid the Vietnam draft. In my defense, starting while I was in grade school, my outstanding father frequently decried his not having a college degree. He had brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. Everyone discouraged him from going to college arguing that the stress of trying to get a college degree would kill him. They succeeded in getting him to take stenography courses in high school. The best job that he could get was working in the office of a nasty chemical plant in northeast (downwind) Chicago Heights. He never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs (playing music, selling hot dogs, delivering eggs) to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevrolet. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

In 1974, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors not only disallowed my travel vouchers, they hinted/implied that my vouchers were fraudulent. Of course, that ended my IRS career. The National Treasury Employees Union and GAO came to my defense and I eventually won in 1977. (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) But by then, they had forced the IRS manager to transfer to Texas who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Their efforts to get rid of me rendered worthless a) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. The aforesaid forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. I would not have had to suffer the aforesaid adverse actions if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.

CITIES 92.9
— This Is the Largest Gunmaker in Illinois – Samuel Stebbins
https://www.cities929.com/2023/08/25/this-is-the-largest-gunmaker-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is the single largest civilian firearm market in the world. A recent Gallup poll found that 45% of Americans have a gun in their home. And many of those households have more than one, as the U.S. is the only country with more privately-owned guns than people. Whether for hunting, target shooting, personal protection, or home defense, consumer demand for firearms in the U.S. fuels a $32.1 billion a year industry. And across the country, companies are cashing in. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives reported that over 13.3 million firearms were manufactured in the U.S. for the domestic market in 2021. (Here is a look at which Americans own the most guns: a survey of all 50 states.) According to the ATF, there are more than 3,200 federally licensed firearm production plants in the U.S., and 43 of them are operating in Illinois. Between them, a total of 647,423 firearms were manufactured in the state in 2021. No company made more firearms in Illinois that year than Springfield Inc. Through a production facility in Geneseo, the company produced a reported 590,750 guns – or 91.2% of all firearms made in the state in 2021.)

I have all of the aforesaid demographics. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45 years old in 1993. GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors finally succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when it expired on September 30, 1997. If I had not taken it by then, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. They made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me. I believed that if I had refused their “offer,” my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on why I believed that my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense. I would focus on their staff members.)

If I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and if I had not almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, the Democrats who ran GAO might not have hired me in 1980. I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, the Democrats who ran GAO would have delayed my promotions even longer. If I had not been taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT, the Democrats who ran GAO might very well have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

Non-Whites overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. The Democrat Party platform promotes a) poverty, b) crime, c) socialism, then communism, and then dictatorship, d) dependency on government and charity, e) LGBTQ, f) abortion, g) mass/illegal immigration, h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, i) abolition of the Second Amendment, j) patronage, k) political affiliation discrimination, l) reverse discrimination, m) age discrimination, and n) even worse things.

— When were you treated like you were a rookie? GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates rudely treated me like I was a rookie when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They ignored, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, b) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) that much of what I did for IRS would be very similar to what I would be doing for GAO. They stressed that I had been forced to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.

Now it must shut its doors for good. “Part of that is around our volunteer capacity, part of that is around our ability to fundraise,” said volunteer Anna DiStefano. . .Insurance issues with the property, lack of funding and staff – many of whom are educators and had to go back to the classrooms with the new school year – all contributed to its closing.)

— Democrats say “Feeling the heat, without Trump.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/24/feeling-the-heat-without-trump-00112719
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois was criticized for having a low credit rating — even below Chris Christie’s New Jersey. Sen. Tim Scott attacked Illinois, California and New York for allowing late-term abortions. Crime in Chicago came up a few times, including during a discussion about lockdowns during the pandemic. And Ramaswamy twice mentioned the South Side, saying instead of funding Ukraine, the government should help the Chicago neighborhood. Ramaswamy even described himself as “a skinny kid with a funny name.” Hey, that’s Barack Obama’s line! Christie would use the line to attack Ramaswamy on Obama-era policies. Gov. JB Pritzker responded to one of the attacks this way: “Pretty sure a vast majority of voters would be just fine if abortion policy was left up to Illinois,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. A few take-aways from Illinoisans seated in the arena: Sue Rezin, the Illinois state senator, liked Ron DeSantis’ “common-sense approach” to government, saying, “it demonstrates that he’s able to comprehend and tackle the important issues that are crushing hard-working families and threatening our national security.” Ashvin Lad, an entrepreneur, was “surprised at how little” the other candidates went after DeSantis, instead focusing their attacks on Ramaswamy. (Us, too, Ashvin.) Pat Brady, the former Illinois GOP leader saw Nikki Haley as “the clear choice,” adding, “Trump lite isn’t going to carry the day.” It was a reference to Ramaswamy and DeSantis. And Jim Durkin, the former Illinois House Republican leader: “Christie said what had to be said about Trump — calling him out for saying Putin is a genius and savvy for the invasion.” It prompted boos from the crowd, a reminder that Trump is still an integral part of the GOP, whether he’s on the stage or not. . .Some Chicago Republicans gathered at the Billy Goat Inn on Madison Avenue in Chicago Wednesday night to watch the Republican presidential debate. They took a straw poll. The winner: Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent of the vote, followed by Ron DeSantis at 22.5 percent; Mike Pence at (?) percent; Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum and Chris Christie, all at 2.5 percent; and Asa Hutchinson, zip. Some of the notables in the room: Chicago Republican Chair and Ward Committeeman Steve Boulton (32nd), former mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti and Nicki Fioretti, ward committee leaders Brian Kasal (43rd), Laura Kotelman (44th), Barry Bebart (39th), Steve Graves (19th), Wayland Johnson (9th), Chris Myers (28th), Evan Kasal (25th), Chicago Young Republicans President Lenny Sklaney, Surus LLC’s Barrett Davie and Chicago GOP Executive Director Jeff Fiedler.)

Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked from all sides with former Vice President Mike Pence calling him a “rookie,” and suggesting he was “too young” to be president. When questioned about supporting Ukraine, Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis said they would prioritize the U.S. southern border. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not raise his hand when asked if he would support Trump if he is convicted on criminal charges and becomes the Republican presidential nominee. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared to raise his hand, then later clarified that he would not support Trump as a nominee if he were convicted.)

I am especially thankful for the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him. I am especially thankful for the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and who finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him.

— According to Democrats, Biden is not too old to run again. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, they use political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. According to my Democrat IRS superiors, a) in 1973, when I was 25 years old, I was too old to be promoted to GS-13 and in 1978, I was too old be promoted to GS-14. According to my Democrat GAO superiors, a) in 1983, I was too old be promoted to GS-15 and b) in 1988, I was too old to be promoted to Senior Executive Service.

— Why I won’t be attending my 50th high school reunion – Stephen J. Lyons (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Nevertheless, to have money for college, I washed dishes for the minimum wage during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC. And I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 to commute to/from UIC classes and my parents’ home in Crete. My father often decried his not having a college degree. Those around him discouraged him from going to college because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and doctors said the stress of seeking a college degree would harm his health.)

— Suburban mayor shuts down plan to take migrants from Chicago – Andrew Hensel
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1e00422e-3e11-11ee-84e8-b38466701f93.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city of Chicago has had conversations with suburban leaders in Cook and other counties about the possibility of moving migrants into their communities. However, some suburban leaders have voiced their concerns. Thousands of migrant families have arrived in Chicago over the past year. City officials have placed many in police stations, YMCAs and Daley College. Recently, Johnson said the city is looking for other towns to help with housing migrants. “We’ve had conversations with mayors across not just Cook County but the surrounding counties, and we have had tremendous feedback,” Johnson said Monday. “We see some real support on the horizon.” Keith Pekau, the Republican mayor of Orland Park, a Cook County suburb of more than 57,000 people, told The Center Square that he is not on board with the idea. “None of us have the resources for this. We do not have health departments. We do not have that kind of stuff,” Pekau said. “[Gov. J.B. Pritzker] has called us a sanctuary state, right? Here’s the deal, at the state level, the state has been ripping all the municipalities off by the Local Government Distributive Fund since prior to Pritzker.” Many Illinois suburbs do not have the funds to take care of the migrants, he said. “Municipalities have been getting screwed by the state of Illinois. Our residents are helping them [the state] pay for things off their own backs that they don’t even know about,” Pekau said. “Keep in mind how Pritzker attacks all the municipalities for property taxes and everything else but guess what? You are taking away money from them first.” Pekau also criticized Johnson and President Joe Biden for what he said was a violation of U.S. law. “I think, at a high level, it is very simple. Joe Biden is putting his nose in the air to our laws and is violating our laws at the border,” Pekau said. “Brandon Johnson and his city have supported this, and he and the Cook County Board want them to be a sanctuary city, and that violates our laws as well.” Just this month, Johnson said that Chicago would remain open for those that wish to come there, reaffirming the city’s stance as a “sanctuary city” or a jurisdiction with lax local enforcement of federal immigration laws. “Here’s what I am committed to doing, honoring the law of being a sanctuary city and building systems of care that provide a pathway with dignity for individuals who are seeking refuge here in the city of Chicago,” Johnson said. Around 12,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago from the southern U.S. border in the past year. So far, city and state taxpayers have set aside $94 million for migrant housing. The state budget has $550 million in taxpayer subsidies for health care of migrants over the age of 65.)

— For Single Women in China, Owning a Home Is a New Form of Resistance. The housing market in China is in turmoil. But more and more women, facing a less equal society, are buying their own homes in search of security. – Joy Dong (COMMENT: In 1972, when I was single and 24 years old, I bought a new town home in University Park. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for IRS in Harvey for the previous 9 months and for IRS in Chicago for the 6 months before that and b) working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for the previous 18 months and full-time for that store for the 7 months before that. With those earnings I also bought a new 1972 Corvette in October of 1971 and I paid for tuition and books for graduate evening business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months. IRS promoted me in June of 1972 from GS-7 (currently $52,022/year) to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year.)
