DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Ives: ‘I stand in support of Sheriff Mendrick’
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/639074798-ives-i-stand-in-support-of-sheriff-mendrick
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political organizer Jeanne Ives spoke in support of DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick who stands opposed to the implementation of the state’s recent gun ban. . .Ives, the CEO of Breakthrough Ideas, stands against the move by DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy and a delegation of like-minded fellow party members to criticize Mendrick and seek his removal. Ives, a former state representative and former gubernatorial and congressional candidate, was one of hundreds, many holding signs reading “We support Sheriff Mendrick” who packed into the DuPage County Board chambers in a January 24 meeting. “I stand in support of Sheriff Mendrick. He has done an outstanding job keeping our communities safe. He has also worked very hard in turning around the lives of those incarcerated in his jail,” Ives said. “When Sheriff Mendrick started heroin and criminality recidivism rates were 90% and 75% respectively and came down to 18 and 15% respectively. The chairwoman herself, just acknowledged that DuPage is one of the safest states in the country.” “It is remarkable, and hypocritical, of the chairman, and her Democrat state legislative colleagues and the Democrat Congressional delegation to politically assault Sheriff Mendrick for his thoughtful and reasonable position that HB5471 is unconstitutional. After Fridays decision by an IL judge to issue a TRO on the law, it is likely that the law IS unconstitutional.” “The DuPage chairman has herself passed numerous laws, that she probably thought were constitutional, but they aren’t.” “In 2013, she voted for pension reform, that in 2015 was judged unconstitutional.” “In 2017, she voted for SB31, a law requiring Illinois officials to not enforce federal immigration laws.” “For a decade, she voted for unbalanced budgets that are unconstitutional.” “And the chairman, along with her fellow legislators have passed numerous laws without the constitutionally required single subject for a bill or the requirement to read a bill on three separate days before passage.” “Those last two provisions were two of the reasons the judge issued a TRO on the law.” “The Chairman commented that ‘You do not get to choose which laws you comply with in the state of Illinois.’” “Five million illegal immigrants have crossed our border in the last two years and none of these people who insist that our laws be followed have said anything about that.” “If you think this is about keeping people safe, then you should know the chairwoman sponsored and voted for HB3447 which decriminalizes possession of enough fentanyl to kill 1500 people. She does not care about public safety.” “Everyone wants the violence to stop. But taking away the rights of legal gun owners while Cook County refuses to prosecute criminals with illegal guns is irrational.” “And it is telling that the law allows gun manufacturers in Illinois to continue to make and sell these now ‘banned’ guns for people in other states. SO, I guess it isn’t about the guns.” U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) took to extreme language in his characterization of the decision by Mendrick and nearly 90% of the state’s sheriffs to not enforce the law saying the sheriff’s “actions are going to make future mass shootings more likely.” Mendrick answered Casten’s accusations in a statement. “There is absolutely nothing that we are doing or not doing that would make a mass shooting more accessible in DuPage County,” Mendrick said. “In fact, I have asked on multiple occasions to increase penalties on all existing gun crimes, but it does not appear that they want to have that conversation.” Casten was one of five other Democrats in Illinois’ congressional delegation who penned a letter against Mendrick.)

FOX32
— State Rep. Adam Niemerg said the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines is an attack on Second Amendment rights and an attempt to avoid the larger issue: lack of mental health support in Illinois. (COMMENT: Democrats have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are mentally ill.)
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/illinois-lawmaker-says-banning-assault-weapons-masks-larger-issue-mental-health
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A downstate Republican is joining area sheriffs in pushing back against Illinois’ new assault weapons ban. Sheriffs in Crawford, Jasper and Lawrence counties are among many law enforcement agencies that have refused to enforce the new law, claiming it is unconstitutional. . .”You’re talking about gun violence, and the solution is we are going to strip these folks in this room of their Second Amendment rights. We have some of the most stringent gun control laws in the nation but still, crime is out of control in the city of Chicago as I alluded to earlier, so if the Democrats want to come to me and talk about mental health, completely open to that,” said Niemerg. The Protect Illinois Communities Act is being challenged by several state and federal lawsuits, including at least one backed by the NRA.)

She accused those millions of Americans of having a “mental illness” and demanded they “be stopped immediately.” – Nicholas Fondacaro (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following who have made it the most clear that they reject the Second Amendment plank in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican major donors, c) Republican political consultants, d) Republican fundraisers, e) Republican pollsters, f) Republican conservative leaders, and g) Republican activists. The aforesaid should immediately withdraw from Republican politics. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Second Amendment plank is one of the most important planks if not the most important plank in the Republican Party platform.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2023/01/09/a-looming-recession-and-how-it-may-affect-tax-collections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The only time a tax collection issue becomes subjective is when it’s assigned to a revenue officer. This does not happen often. The IRS likes most tax collection issues handled quickly, which is why they prefer the ACS handling it. When a tax collection matter is pulled out of the ACS and assigned to a revenue officer, it becomes a person-to-person issue. When a taxpayer calls the ACS, the agent you speak to is the first available. When dealing with a revenue officer, you are dealing with a person assigned to the particulars of your case.)

WHEATON PATCH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Conroy Seeks Censure, Residents Split On Sheriff’s Weapons Ban Stance. DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy said Tuesday she plans to seek censure of Sheriff Mendrick for his stance on the statewide ban. Conroy said she will introduce a resolution in February to censure Mendrick.” DuPage County has more residents than five states (Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota) and the District of Columbia. DuPage County Republicans vehemently oppose any such censure. I should write a book about my “Republican” critics/opponents a) who fail/refuse to support Mendrick and b) who tried but failed with a surprise effort to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at the start of its annual convention in Wheaton in 2006. They blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady’s defeat in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Previously, they blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in 2002.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How will Conroy proceed with her censure of Mendrick? What about due process? What rights will she accord Mendrick? When and how will Conroy put her charges against Mendrick in writing and publish those charges? Will she give Mendrick an opportunity to respond to those charges in writing and publish his response? Will she allow conservatives like me, that is, platform Republicans like me, that is, Republicans like me to file amicus curiae (friend of the court) type documents with the DuPage County Board in support of Mendrick? Will she allow Mendrick to speak in his defense at her February 14 DuPage County Board meeting? Will she allow Mendrick’s supporters like me to speak in defense of Mendrick at her February 14 DuPage County Board meeting? In 2006, the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) did not accord me such rights when my critic/opponents tried but failed with a surprise effort to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at the start of its annual convention in Wheaton in June of 2006. – Dave Diersen

They got rid of their Republican employees who White, male, and/non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, by age 25. Extremely few IRS employees make that promotion deadline. I did not make GS-12, currently $92,279/year until I was 25 in 1974. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager in 1975 who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) never promoted me to GS-13, and d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978. I should write a book about all that. I would focus on how my Democrat IRS superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees. All my IRS coworkers who my Democrat IRS superiors promoted over me were minority, female, veteran, had less job-related work experience than I had, and/or had less job-related education than I had.)

No one can go to school, to church, to a concert, to a celebration, to a park or to a movie without fearing they suddenly will be targeted by a slaughterer wielding deadly weapons.” Criminals will always have semiautomatic weapons. As crime increases under the Democrats, the need for semiautomatic weapons for self-defense increases. Under the Democrats, expect that as crime increases, a) 911 response times will increase and b) law enforcement will be overwhelmed by criminals using semiautomatic weapons.

STATELINE
— TRAGIC: Illinois students trade alcohol, vaping for marijuana use – John Clark
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/report-illinois-students-trade-alcohol-vaping-for-marijuana-use/
(FROM THE ARTICLE’: According to a recent survey, alcohol and vaping use amongst 8th, 10th, and 12th-grade students has declined, but marijuana use has increased. The Illinois Youth Survey is undertaken every two years by participating school districts across the state. FHN provided the survey results for Stephenson and Jo Daviess counties, which showed that past-year alcohol use is between 24 – 31% in the 10th grade, increasing to 44 – 52% in the 12th grade, with more than 50% of the students who drank reporting that they received the alcohol from their parents. Winnebago County showed 32% alcohol use in 10th grade, increasing to 42% in 12th grade. Boone County showed 27% in 10th grade and 34% in 12th grade. Ogle County showed 31% alcohol use in 10th grade, increasing to 51% in 12th grade. The survey showed the percentage of alcohol use has been declining over the past four years, but the past-year use of marijuana is now between 23 – 25% of 12th-grade students in Stephenson and Jo Daviess counties, 22% in Boone County, 32% Winnebago County, and 31% in Ogle County. According to the Illinois Department of Human Services Substance Use Prevention Services, research over the years has identified the following risk factors for underage alcohol and other substance misuses: Antisocial behaviors, perceptions of peer substance use, low perceived risk of harm, poor family-youth relationships, and parental acceptance of substance use, school absenteeism, and availability and marketing of substances to youth.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One prominent area Republican is Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, who has unsuccessfully run for Congress and attorney general in the last few years. Grasso, who recently denounced the “far right,” has not returned two messages for comment. Last Friday, Republicans issued a news release giving interested candidates a week to apply. Members of the selection committee are Jim Zay of DuPage County, Tim Ozinga of Will County, Michael Shackel of Lemont Township, Terrance Carr of Lyons Township, Cindy Nelson Katsenes of Orland Township and Sean Morrison of Palos Township. They plan to hold a public meeting involving interviews of “select” candidates, according to the news release. The meeting is set for 10 a.m. Feb. 4 at the House Republican Organization office at 16W281 83rd St., Suite D, in Burr Ridge. Interested Republicans must have lived in the district for the last two years.)

— The new Republican chairman of the panel that oversees the IRS said Wednesday that he has created a new online form for agency employees to report directly to Congress on any abuses or wrongdoing they see. – Stephen Dinan (COMMENT: If this had existed while I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I would have reported political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. My Democrat IRS superiors harshly punished me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They got rid of their Republican employees who White, male, and/non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, by age 25. Extremely few IRS employees make that promotion deadline. I did not make GS-12, currently $92,279/year until I was 25 in 1974. To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) got rid of the IRS manager in 1975 who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, c) never promoted me to GS-13, and d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978. I should write a book about all that. I would focus on how my Democrat IRS superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and up-or-out to get rid of their Republican employees. All my IRS coworkers who my Democrat IRS superiors promoted over me were minority, female, veteran, had less job-related work experience than I had, and/or had less job-related education than I had.)

ALBUQERQUE JOURNAL
— Governments that disarm the people have troubling history – CLIFFORD C. NICHOLS
https://www.abqjournal.com/1154293/governments-that-disarm-the-people-have-troubling-history.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When considering gun controls, a nation must first acknowledge that this world is, by definition, broken. It’s a given evil will erupt from time to time, no matter what anyone does to prevent it. It’s just where and when it will happen that is most often unforeseeable. Once that is agreed upon, perhaps we can also further agree that, when evil does erupt – whether the threat is personal or national – the last thing any of us should want is for us to have allowed our government to have removed our ability to defend ourselves against it. Consider Hitler. He took away guns in Germany in the 1930s and in every country he conquered thereafter, particularly from (those) “disfavored” by his government. In the words of Heinrich Himmler, “Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as having guns doesn’t serve the State.” Within that context, compare the evolution of today’s gun debate with the events that actually occurred in Germany not so very long ago: “In 1931, Weimar (Republic government) authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover… In reaction to such threats, the (Weimer) government authorized the registration of all firearms … for ‘public safety.’ The interior minister warned that the records must not fall into the hands of any extremist group. “In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the (gun registration) records (of the former Weimer government) to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. …” (“How the Nazis Used Gun Control,” by Stephen P. Halbrook, National Review, Dec. 2, 2013.) At minimum, the foregoing should highlight that, from the perspective of some governments’ like Hitler’s, the operative word in “gun control” is control. Such control as that which allowed the Nazis, i.e. German government, in the 1940s to deport millions of people on trains to destinations like Auschwitz from every country over which Hitler’s “government,” i.e. tyranny, took control…. These were people who knew … they were destined to die – people who should have resisted, but didn’t in part because they had been disarmed. Guns taken from good people by their government only really matters when government, for whatever reason, turns evil and decides to do evil to good people. Whether a person supported Clinton or Trump, all should be able to agree … any government anywhere is susceptible to becoming a tyranny led by men or women who are evil. If you don’t think that can happen in any nation – even America – think again. Consider the massacre at Wounded Knee in South Dakota on Dec. 29, 1890. After the United States 7th Cavalry confiscated the firearms of a group of Lakota Sioux “for their own safety and protection at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation,” 297 Indians were murdered. After the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms, the Calvary began shooting and wiped out the camp; 200 of the dead were women and children. To empower the people of the United States with the ability to resist any tyranny that might threaten them in the future was the sole reason our founding fathers gave all Americans the right to bear arms guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. Those who disagree should ask: Why?)

If America had never had the Second Amendment, a) Mexico would have invaded America sooner than it did and b) Japan and Germany would have invaded America in WWII.)

DAILY HERALD
— COMMENT: A Democrat asks “Why not insure guns, tie owners to them?” Using that logic, what about requiring those who do the following to have insurance to do the following: eat too much, not exercise enough, drink booze, gamble, smoke pot, have unprotected sex, be an LGBTQer, come into America illegally, stay in America illegally, refuse to get an education, refuse to get and/or keep a job, spend too much money on immediate pleasures, refuse to save for retirement, commit crime, etc.? Democrats want everyone to do the aforesaid destructive things because they increase the likelihood that you will become a “ward of the state,” that is, that you will vote for Democrats.
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20230122/letter-why-not-insure-guns-tie-owners-to-them
(FROM THE LETTER: Some argue cars can kill people, so why not ban cars, too? Better yet, let’s flip the logic and treat guns the same way we treat cars. How? Mandatory insurance. Once you or lease a gun, you must buy qualified firearm insurance. Premium rates increase with each shooting incident (accidental or intentional) just as with car accidents.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida says rejected AP African American Studies course ‘lacks educational value.’ Under Gov. DeSantis the state has banned the teaching of critical race theory.” What do you stress in defense of your ancestors? While all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. They worked in a brick factory in Chicago. They were farmers in Crete and in Grant Park along the Indiana border. They raised and sold horses in Crete. The operated a hardware store in Crete. They worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights.

— Ready for Your Very Own Backseat Driver? — Big Brother – Michael Reagan with Michael R. Shannon (COMMENT: I wonder what positions my fellow Iron Gate Motor Condo owners have on this. Of course, I am concerned about this because I have owned gasoline-powered cars since 1964 and currently own seven gasoline-powered cars and a gasoline-powered SUV. But, on the other hand, I drive them extremely few miles because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. And further, because I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman or an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, I no longer drive to TAPROOT or ICRC meetings and events. SEE: https://www.irongatemotorcondos.com/ and https://www.igmca.com/home/ )
https://www.newsmax.com/reagan/app-hybrid-premium/2023/01/21/id/1105348/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are insured drivers in the United States — mostly citizens since illegals bypass this sort of nuisance — who participate in an insurance company program. It installs an app on your phone that we call “Mobile Mother-in-Law.” You install the app and it monitors where you drive, when you drive, and how fast you drive. It may even cross-reference the data with the weather. We aren’t sure. What we are sure of is the insurance company analyzes the data and if you obey the speed limit and don’t park in the passing lane on the highway, the insurance company will give you a discount on your premium. (We made the part up about the passing lane, but you get the idea.) If you use the app and succumb to lead-foot disease, not only will you not get an insurance discount, you may suffer an auto insurance increase! Car owners who opt into this app program do so voluntarily with the expectation that their participation will save them money. Now the government wants to get in the app business in the near future and, since it’s the government, the program will be mandatory — and it will cost you money. The Epoch Times brings us the bad news. Government regulations that increased gas mileage and government subsidies that encouraged the purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles have resulted in less revenue for state and federal government highway funds, because those funds are financed by the gas tax. Electric vehicles don’t buy gas, hybrids only buy a little and regular cars get more distance from a tank of gas these days. As a spokesman for the Eastern Transportation Coalition explains, “All vehicles are going farther on less gas, and that is great for our wallets, especially with the gas prices going up. “But it’s not so good when our transportation system is dependent on that fuel tax. The link between usage and payment is broken.” Naturally, government is springing into action. Currently 31 states charge electric vehicles a special, more expensive registration fee. But that once-a-year payment isn’t enough for government bureaucrats. You know them all-too-well. The same people who made you mask-up (even outside!) want to make you install an app to monitor your driving. We call it Big Brother in the Backseat, and it’s bad news. Drivers are less than enthusiastic about this prospect and bureaucrats and NGO nannies can’t fathom why. The Coalition person had the gall to say, “This is a very challenging topic to talk about because nobody likes talking about paying for transportation. We all like the transportation that we use but paying for it is a hard conversation.” We don’t know about you, but our cars cost thousands of dollars and we paid it. What the government is demanding is we pay extra for transportation. Drivers who are paying attention are also very concerned about their privacy and government intrusion into it. It’s one thing to volunteer for an insurance app and gain a discount in return. It’s quite another to be forced to install an app or a tracking device and have a cyber mother-in-law riding shotgun as Big Brother. The comically out-of-touch Coalition flack has a positive spin for that situation, too: “Developers expect a third party, not the government, will keep track of where drivers go, and how much they owe, and some studies have indicated that because a third party is doing the tracking, the data is safe from government eyes. “The data would go to a government contractor that would deduct the amount owed from a user’s credit card and pay it to the states where the vehicle had been.” Would that be the same government that forced “third party” cellphone providers to give tracking data belonging to the Jan. 6 political prisoners to the DOJ without a warrant? We’re supposed to believe our travel data would be safe “from those government eyes”? There are other ways to charge for highway usage without taking a giant step into the Total Surveillance State. If the IRS grants a mileage deduction based on mileage entered on a tax form, then the states can use the same data for its usage tax.)

— COMMENT: Democrats said in 2017 “America’s rifle: Why so many people love the AR-15.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/america-s-rifle-why-so-many-people-love-ar-15-n831171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are a lot of reasons people love their AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, and it doesn’t much matter to them what the haters say. For some, the gun is a tool, a finely tuned machine that can cut down an animal or intruder, or pierce a distant target, with a single precise shot. For others, it is a toy, a sleek beast of black plastic and metal that delivers a gratifying blast of adrenaline. And for many, it is a symbol, the embodiment of core American values — freedom, might, self-reliance. . .It is the focus of multiple attempts at prohibition, which in turn has prompted people to run out and buy more. Such “panic buying” drove sales of AR-15s to record levels during the presidency of Barack Obama and the 2016 presidential campaign. . .Devotees say the AR-15 has been wrongly demonized, arguing that the vast majority of owners never use it in a crime, and that despite the rifle’s use in mass shootings, it is responsible for a very small proportion of the country’s gun violence. Thanks to that ardent following, and shrewd marketing, the AR-15 remains a jewel of the gun industry, the country’s most popular rifle, irreversibly lodged into American culture. . .The civilian model wasn’t mass produced until the 1980s, after the original patent expired and a variety of companies began making them. That transformed a specific brand to a more generic offering on which a mini-industry would flourish. When the AR-15 and other semiautomatic rifles began to turn up in shootings, a movement began to restrict their manufacture and sale. Much of the outrage stemmed from the militaristic appearance of those guns, and their ability to fire rapidly.)

They worked in a brick factory in Chicago. They were farmers in Crete and in Grant Park along the Indiana border. They raised and sold horses in Crete. The operated a hardware store in Crete. They worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights.

https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/638905763-lawmakers-eyeing-bill-to-mandate-race-based-anti-white-reading-the-reading-list-will-dominate-the-curriculum
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A number of anti-white titles stick out amongst the scores of books lawmakers are suggesting should be mandatory reading for the state’s children. That is the concept behind a list of books lawmakers are pushing on the state’s children through HB1011. The bill is sponsored by State Rep. Mary E. Flowers (D-Chicago). Nonfiction books children will be required to read include the below: . . . Despite its place atop the New York Times list of best-selling books “White Fragility” was slammed by reviewer Carlos Lozada in the Washington Post for presenting a flawed view of race relations in the United States. “The book flattens people of any ancestry into two-dimensional beings fitting predetermined narratives,” Lozada wrote. In Lozada’s view, the book appears to be a continuation of the spirit of racism rather than conciliatory in nature. “White people should be regarded not as individuals but as an undifferentiated racist collective, socialized to ‘fundamentally hate blackness’ and to institutionalize that prejudice in politics and culture. People of color, by contrast, are almost entirely powerless, and the few with influence do not wield it in the service of racial justice,” Lozada wrote of the book’s conceit. Other titles on the list have garnered similar reactions. A similar bill was introduced in the previous General Assembly but failed to gain any traction. In the last go-round critics excoriated lawmakers for placing themselves in the classroom, bypassing teachers and the individual learning goals of children. The sheer volume of reading mandated by the bill would be problematic in that it would edge out other non-biased reading already ingrained in learning plans. “(The list) outlines a highly skewed 42-book list of mandatory reading for every public elementary, middle and high school student, and includes titles such as ‘Hood Feminism,’ ‘How to Be an Antiracist’ and ‘White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism,'” Beth Feeley wrote in a 2021 column for the Chicago Tribune. “Not every book on this list reflects the critical race theory-inspired ideologies like those of included authors Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. But 42 books — almost 10,000 pages — on race? The reading list will dominate the curriculum.” Similarly, opponents point to the “Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading” standards lawmakers enacted in 2021 as a flashpoint for pushing leftist narratives in classrooms. Critics say the original language included in that bill suggested teachers indoctrinate students to “embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives that leverage asset thinking toward traditionally marginalized populations.”)

HIGHLAND COUNTY PRESS
— COMMENT: I should write an article that compares and contrasts Biden’s ownership of his 1967 Corvette and my ownership of my 1972 Corvette which I continue to own. It has only 5,147 miles on it and is stock and like new. I have driven it extremely few miles since I started spending 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. It is base coupe, Steel Cities Gray, black leather interior, automatic, air conditioning, power steering, and AM-FM stereo radio. I bought it new in 1971 with insurance proceeds from the theft of my 1969 Dodge Charger SE and a bank loan. I bought that Charger with money that I had earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office while I attended UIC in 1968. I got the car loan because I had worked for IRS for 4 months, I had worked for the Chicago Heights Firestone Store part-time for 7 months and full time for 7 months before that. I stored it in my mother’s garage in Crete 1971-1984. A picture of me in the car in that garage is in Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on me. Since 1984, I have stored it in my fully insulated heated attached garage in Wheaton. Since 1995, I have stored it on a hydraulic lift in that garage. Currently my 2005 Corvette is stored underneath it. I have two security cameras pointing down the garage’s driveway.
https://highlandcountypress.com/Content/Opinions/Opinion/Article/Biden-Trump-and-the-pesky-presidential-records-act/4/22/87297
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He loves talking about what is in his garage, specifically the stock 1967 Corvette with the mighty 327-V8 that churns out 350 horsepower at the wheel and flies from 0-60mph in a respectable 5.9 seconds. Even now, after more than a half-century, the Stingray remains mint. Its paint, pristine. The color from the manufacturer, President Biden makes a point of noting in interviews, is “Goodwood Green,” and it still looks just like the day it rolled off the assembly line because the motorhead obsesses over every inch of the car, a wedding present from his father. Joe Biden loves that car so much that he overshares, making his people cringe. As vice president, he once admitted to Car and Driver Magazine that he still strips down to “my bathing suit in my driveway” to wash and wax it. He was 69 years old at the time. Other things on the floor of his garage, like documents marked “classified,” the president and his aides would rather not discuss in detail. Eight different times this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters she just was “not going to get into specifics” about how or why or exactly when sensitive intelligence documents made their way into the Biden family home in Wilmington, Del. “It’s not like they’re sitting out in the street,” Biden protested when asked about the documents that only individuals with security clearances are supposed to view. The intelligence and the classic car, he confirmed, were behind closed doors. His garage, it has a lock.)

FORBES
— The Importance Of Finding A Mentor – Jason Richmond
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2023/01/20/the-importance-of-finding-a-mentor/

COMMENT: Have your critics/opponents gotten rid of your mentors?

I should write a book about what my IRS career might have been if my Democrat IRS superiors had not gotten rid of the IRS manager who had a) promoted me in 1972 and 1973, b) gotten me assigned to a high-profile developmental opportunity in 1973, and c) promoted me in 1974.

But then, to get rid of me, they a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) forced the aforesaid IRS manager to transfer to Texas in 1975, c) ignored, dismissed, downplayed, and belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, d) never promoted me to GS-13, e) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and f) ignored, dismissed, downplayed, and belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

I should write a book about what my GAO career might have been if my Democrat GAO superiors had not gotten rid of the GAO manager who had a) arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 when I was 31 years old, b) gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and c) promoted me in 1986.

In 1980, he was the Staff Manager of GAO’s Chicago Office.

But immediately after he arranged for my transfer from IRS, my Democrat GAO Chicago Office superiors replaced him with a Democrat Staff Manager who was anti-IRS, anti-union, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-German America, anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, anti-those who did not start their career with GAO, anti-Association of Government Accountants, anti-Institute of Internal Auditors, and anti-those who spouse’s had good jobs. He was a heavy drinker and gambler who was obsessed with spectator sports and golf.

He did everything that he could to get me to go back to IRS.

He succeeded in a) keeping me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, b) assigning me to work for, work with, and/or supervise GAO Chicago office employees who disapproved of, if not despised, if not hated my demographics for my entire GAO career, c) giving me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals for my entire GAO career, d) assigning me to supervise all the office’s Democrat employees who were problematic, liberal, minority, female, veteran, disabled, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time for my entire GAO career, e) turning my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me for my entire GAO career, f) delaying my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and g) stopping me from ever being promoted beyond GS-13.

If he had not gone on extended sick leave because of his heavy drinking in 1985, I never would have been assigned to audits or promoted to GS-13.

But after he came back in 1987, he succeed in a) forcing the aforesaid GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for transfer from IRS in 1980, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, b) always ranking me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and c) helping my Democrat GAO superiors force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.

Further, I should write a book about my past and present critics/opponents and my past and present supporters who they destroyed because they encouraged me to become a) an Assistant Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC) in 1999, b) an appointed RPC 1999, c) an elected RPC since 2000, d) Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, e) MTRO Octoberfest Committee member in 2001- 2009, f) Wheaton Park District Prairie Path Park adopter in 2001-2020, g) American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, e) coordinator of Pat O/Malley’s 2002 gubernatorial primary campaign in Milton Township in 2002, f) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, g) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, h) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day Parades 2005-2019, i) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and j) an Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee member in 2008.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DuPage sheriff Mendrick facing mounting criticism after saying he won’t enforce state’s assault weapons ban.” I hope that soon, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, the Milton Township Republican Organization, and the other eight DuPage County Republican township organizations pass resolutions in support of Mendrick. I should write a book about past and present leaders of the aforesaid organizations who reject the Second Amendment plank in the Republican Party platform and/or reject its individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, those organizations would have passed resolutions in support of Mendrick by now.

https://news.yahoo.com/dupage-sheriff-facing-mounting-criticism-010600247.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Board member Grant Eckhoff, a Republican representing District 4, said Mendrick does not have the resources to create a task force of deputy sheriffs to go door to door and start a registration program for the guns. “It’s either handle the 911 calls and do the job that he’s been doing or try and go door to door,” Eckhoff said. “Unless you want to triple his budget, I don’t think it’s realistic and the legislation isn’t realistic for him to be able to do that.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230119/des-plaines-theatre-operator-cancels-conservative-groups-event-after-outcry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ron Onesti did not explicitly give a reason for the cancellation in a statement Thursday night, but he referred to the controversy and suggested he and the theater received threats. “What saddens me was the amount of hate that surfaced during all of this,” he wrote. “People mailing bullets to me, asking their neighbors to fill my garbage cans with dog feces, countless hateful calls and outwardly targeting the Des Plaines Theatre, wishing its demise. And how would that have been good for the community?” On Wednesday he had defended leasing the venue to the group that’s been criticized for making queerphobic social media posts and other controversial statements. That came after LGBTQ advocates criticized the groups behind the Feb. 8 event — especially DuPage County-based Awake Illinois — and some of the scheduled speakers. Onesti described himself as a proponent of the First Amendment and said Awake Illinois has the right to hold meetings and discuss the issues it pleases. “It’s not for me to be judge and jury,” Onesti said. . .The speaker lineup included Jaimee Michell, founder of a group called Gays Against Groomers; Stephanie Trussell, recent Republican candidate for lieutenant governor; Shannon Adcock, founder of Awake Illinois and a leader of Moms for Liberty DuPage; and former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Dubiel. Awake has railed against suburban drag events, medical treatments for transgender youth and the state’s new sex education standards, among other topics.)

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/01/source-national-committeeman-richard-porter-seeking-to-amend-il-gop-bylaws-to-permit-third-term.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among conservative circles in Illinois, it is no secret that IL GOP Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber and District 3 Committeewoman Jeanne Ives have been eying a potential 2024 run for the National Committeemen positions. The two have been working together for years, as Ives stated at the December 10, 2022 SCC meeting that Kolber gave her $750,000 for her failed 2018 gubernatorial primary challenge against incumbent establishment-Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. But Porter’s new plans to change the Bylaws to remove the term limits would appear to dash Kolber’s and Ives’ hopes and may be further evidence of the deepening rift among SCC members. . .It’s also no secret that Porter has been engaging in a public relations campaign the past couple months to prove his relevance at the national level. Porter posted numerous photos of himself at the US Capitol during the speakership deliberations, including a photo sitting alone in the Speaker’s conference room. Porter, who has endorsed RNC Chair Ronna Romney-McDaniel for re-election against conservative challenger Harmeet Dhillon, also has been making press for himself in his efforts to whip up the vote for Romney-McDaniel. The US Capitol Complex adheres to very strict photography guidelines, limiting photographs from the general public to public areas of the Capitol and House and Senate office buildings. And it explains why Porter removed his photographs, sitting alone in the Speaker’s suite from his Facebook page. Recent developments in the RNC Chair election also seem to indicate that DeMonte is complicit in Porter’s efforts to eliminate term limits. Sources confirm that DeMonte, who in December had endorsed Romney-McDaniel for re-election, has quietly signaled to Dhillon that she may vote for her in the election to be held at the RNC winter meeting on January 27, 2023, but that she can’t be public about her vote because she fears retribution in her own re-election – a re-election that will not happen without an amendment to the Bylaws. The RNC Chair election is conducted by secret ballot, with Porter, DeMonte, and Tracy tendering votes on behalf of Illinois, and all three have endorsed Romney-McDaniel for re-election. The RNC winter meeting will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California.)

FEDERATION FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
— While immigration boosters like the president fixate on misleading jobless rates, the number of working-age Americans out of the labor force is at historic highs. Pinched by record influxes of low-paid migrant competition and galloping inflation, legions of former workers aren’t nearly so enthralled about their prospects. . .“If the labor-force participation rate of working-age Americans ages 16 to 64 returned to what it was in 2000 — not exactly an eternity ago — it would add 6.5 million people to the labor force.” Ushering in more than 5.5 million mostly low-skilled migrants – as Biden has done since entering the White House – won’t produce a better or more prosperous America.

STATELINE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Watchdog group says racial bias training for Illinois healthcare workers will harm minorities.” (COMMENT: The Democrats who run the federal government a) require federal employees to take lots of bias training and b) use that training to promote hatred against Republicans. I should write a book about the bias training a) that my Democrat IRS superiors required me and my IRS supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1971-1980 and b) that my Democrat GAO superiors required me and my GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1980-1997. I would focus on the success that training had in promoting hatred against Republicans like me.)
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/watchdog-group-says-racial-bias-training-for-illinois-healthcare-workers-will-harm-minorities/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A medical watchdog group is criticizing Illinois’ new law that requires health-care workers to take racial bias training over “being a good doctor.” According to the Illinois Administrative Code, racial bias occurs automatically and unintentionally, affecting behaviors, judgments, and decisions. The medical watchdog group Do No Harm counters that “There is no credible evidence that physicians are biased, or healthcare is systemically racist.” Illinois passed the Health Care and Human Services Reform Act, which went into effect on January 1st, 2023, requiring health professionals to take one hour of “implicit bias training” in order to renew their license with the state. The legislation “recognized significant disparities in health outcomes between Black Illinois residents and other residents of the state, including higher rates of death from pregnancy-related causes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic diseases (including asthma); a higher rate of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which is associated with adverse health outcomes.” “Things that are related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are based on more divisive ideology than things that really have anything to do with being a good doctor,” wrote Laura Morgan, program manager for Do No Harm, who said she was fired from her Texas nursing job after 39 years for refusing to take a mandatory course “grounded in the idea that I’m racist because I’m white.” “The idea of implicit bias is grounded in the belief that white people treat those who aren’t white worse than those who are. It’s part of the woke assumption that society, including healthcare, suffers from ‘systemic racism,’” she wrote. “Accordingly, my own supposed implicit bias, which is a euphemism for ingrained racism, must be rooted out. Not only that, it must be replaced with preferential treatment for the nonwhite.“ “Patients, especially minorities, will experience the most harm. Their caregivers are being told to admit to unconscious racism. Why would you see a physician who supposedly hates you and will hurt your health?” she said. “I fear every healthcare professional will soon be forced to make the same awful decision I did: Falsely admit to being racist or abandon the medical field,” she wrote in an article published in the Wall Street Journal. According to a 2017 Harvard study, diversity training programs may actually worsen healthcare situations by exacerbating pre-existing biases.)

— Biden’s army of IRS auditors falls victim to hiring woes, ambiguous marching orders – Stephen Dinan (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 hired me to be a Revenue Officer because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I was qualified because in 1970, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. They did not offer me a Revenue Agent job because I had not taken enough accounting courses. While I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer, my goal was never to qualify myself for a new trade or business, that is, my goal was never to become a Revenue Agent.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jan/18/bidens-army-irs-auditors-falls-victim-hiring-woes-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A tricky job market and lack of expedited hiring authority are making it difficult to bring on more people who can clear the hurdles. “A continued challenge the IRS faces is having to evaluate a high number of applicants in order to find successful candidates both willing to accept the job offer and also be able to pass the required background checks,” the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said. . .“Even once they manage to make the hires, training will be a long process and the agency will continue to deal with attrition,” he told The Washington Times. “In fact, attrition may increase, and the quality of the typical IRS auditor will probably drop since the IRS won’t be able to be as selective in hiring if it expects to almost double the size of the agency in less than nine years.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican voters duped into casting their ballots for a congressional candidate whose entire resume was a lie are outraged. How could someone make it through a whole campaign season without the falsehoods being revealed? It was too late for them to take back their votes, and George Santos now serves as the U.S. Representative from New York’s 3rd District for the next two years. Santos had claimed Jewish heritage, running a pet charity, working for finance giant Goldman Sachs, and attending an exclusive New York prep school. His claims were all false. He went from earning an income of $50,000 on a venture capital fund that federal prosecutors called a Ponzi scheme in 2020 to claiming assets totaling nearly $11 million in 2022, the local newspaper the North Shore Leader reported. The newspaper editorialized on a candidate who it saw as a complete fraud. No one listened. No one followed up. “This would all have been exposed before the election if local newspapers were not running on fumes,” former Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill tweeted. Across the country, those fumes consist of decimated reporting staff – if a newspaper still exists.)

https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/01/08/take-on-u-s-house-speakership-fight/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) released the following statement on the historic conservative victory to ensure the House of Representatives stops reckless spending and holds the Biden Administration accountable to the American people: “I promised my constituents that I would fight to change the status quo in the DC swamp, and thanks to 20 members who insisted on change, we can now celebrate a historic victory for the conservative movement despite intense pressure for us to give up and accept business as usual in Washington. After intense negotiations and hard work by House Freedom Caucus members and House Republican leadership, we changed the rules to ensure that a Republican-controlled House cannot betray conservatives the way that Senate Republicans did when they passed Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion omnibus. With 40-year high inflation and $31 trillion in debt, we must save our country for our children and grandchildren. Our conservative policy package includes: The power to block an omnibus spending bill from the Senate; The power to eliminate waste by making direct budget cuts to the federal bureaucracy and spending caps to cut spending; A balanced federal budget over the next 10 years A “Church-style” Committee to Investigate the Weaponization of the Federal Government, including the Biden Department of Justice; A Southern Border Security Plan; The end of COVID mandates and funding for them; Requiring 72 hours to read a bill before the vote; The power for one member to call a vote for a new Speaker. I want to thank President Donald Trump, Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy for their work making this victory for the conservative movement and the American people possible. I look forward to working with the House Republican Conference to stop Joe Biden’s destructive, radical, leftist agenda!)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— House GOP Leader Jim Durkin Resigning, Says Trump Republicans, 2nd Amendment and Pro-Life Issues “Dragged” GOP Down in Midterm Election (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Durkin in glorified and praised by hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters. I should write a book about how since 2000 the leaders of the following have treated conservatives, that is, how they have mistreated conservatives, that is, how they have dumped conservatives: Illinois House Republicans, Illinois Senate Republicans, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Ever-increasingly, Durkin makes it clear that he, like McCain, has always rejected many planks in the Republican Party platform.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In media interviews after announcing his resignation as House GOP leader, State Rep. Jim Durkin attempted to place all of the blame on the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump. “As long as we continue to say that we are the party of Trump and that we have to abide by the party principles in the platform, 100% we’re gonna continue down this path of losing,” said Durkin. But pointing fingers and blaming others is exactly why Illinois House Republicans are in the super minority – and Durkin has no one else to blame but himself. And blaming the former President does nothing but distract from his own leadership failures. In announcing his resignation on Sunday, Durkin once again began pointing fingers, saying, “I hope that at some point in the near future, and I think we’re getting there, that the party breaks its fever of Donald Trump and understands and learns from the past. Some people will never get there.” But Durkin didn’t just stop there. “So I would just say the sooner that the public realizes that he’s not value added to the Republican Party, we can start looking at what this party used to be about. A party that didn’t insist upon this purity test. A party that is a fiscally conservative first of all, certainly, but we can have a fair and respectful debate within the party on issues related to the Second Amendment, to life and these other social issues, that have been dragging us down in areas that we have to compete in — mainly the suburbs and the collar counties.” To suggest that Second Amendment and pro-life issues are “dragging” the Republican party down is an insult – they are issues that make us Republicans in the first place. In the last week, Illinois Review has published several articles about Durkin using his political influence to target conservative grassroots candidates during the Illinois Primary. Sources also confirmed to Illinois Review that the IL GOP is blaming Durkin for the party’s postage discount abuse, where mailers “Paid for by the Republican Party of Illinois” were sent during the primary to viciously attack conservative Republican grassroots candidates that were challenging Durkin’s friends and political allies. Just a few days ago, Durkin was the only Republican to join the Democrats, voting in favor of the assault weapons ban. The legislation “immediately prohibits the manufacturing, possession, delivery, sales, and purchase of assault weapons” with a few exceptions – if you are a police officer or you are in the military. The Illinois Freedom Caucus sent a late night email urging conservatives to call Democrats and urge them to vote “No,” arguing that the Democrats admitted in committee that they did not consult with gun groups while drafting the legislation – including the Illinois State Rifle Association, who plans on filing a lawsuit when the bill becomes law. Durkin remains a close ally and best friend of IL GOP chairman Don Tracy. During the primary, Durkin was a supporter of Richard Irvin’s Republican campaign for governor, despite Irvin pulling Democratic Primary ballots in 2014, 2016 and 2020.)

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/outgoing-illinois-house-gop-leader-jim-durkin-to-resign-from-legislature/3039792/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Falling short of that goal, Durkin was candid about his hope that the Illinois GOP and its base will see the losses up and down the ballot as an opportunity for a reckoning. “The party needs to hit the reset button and realize what happened again on Tuesday, that we cannot allow the far right fringe to control the party,” Durkin said Nov. 10. “If they continue, we will suffer losses at the same level we did this cycle, last cycle.” Durkin says those losses can be traced in large part to one person: former President Donald Trump.)

There are many people who feel very strong about those issues who would vote for Republicans.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: His psychiatric skills, he said, are no longer able to respond to an increasingly rightward Republican Party mindset, fostered by former President Donald Trump and his followers, that threatens to relegate the party to permanent minority status in the state. . .“The politics have changed. The party over the last at least six years has shifted,” he said. “The only way you can win in Illinois is that you’re going to have to just find the candidates that reflect the district. And we should not hold anyone to the 100% (party) purity test that some people in this party expect throughout the state.” . . . Durkin points the blame for the disastrous election results — particularly in the suburbs that were once a cornerstone of Illinois Republicanism — at a statewide GOP ticket led by gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, a state senator who leaned heavily on his evangelical Christianity in his campaign and who was endorsed by Trump. . . “We had some great (GOP House) candidates in the suburbs and collar counties and they were all painted (by Democrats) with the same brush, as being Trump sympathizers from a party of intolerance and extremists,” he said. “The Trump factor and Jan. 6 is something that’s not going away anytime soon. And that obviously was in many people’s minds when they talked about their fear for democracy.” Durkin said he thinks Republicans in Illinois will not be successful until the party distances itself from Trump and acknowledges both his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and his 2020 election defeat to Democratic President Joe Biden. . .“I hope that at some point in the near future, and I think we’re getting there, that the party breaks its fever of Donald Trump and understands and learns from the past. Some people will never get there,” he said. “So I would just say the sooner that the public realizes that he’s not value added to the Republican Party, we can start looking at what this party used to be about. A party that didn’t insist upon this purity test. A party that is fiscally conservative first of all, certainly, but we can have a fair and respectful debate within the party on issues related to the Second Amendment, to life and these other social issues, that have been dragging us down in areas that we have to compete in — mainly the suburbs and the collar counties,” he said. . .A group of far-right Republican lawmakers known unofficially as the “Eastern Bloc,” of which Bailey was a member, chafed under policies expanding abortion and gay rights and also proposed legislation to make Chicago a separate state. “I can’t run a candidate in the western suburbs who’s going to win who is mirroring what someone says campaigning on in the Deep South,” Durkin said. “I just don’t think we should be promoting the 51st state in the collars and the suburbs when it certainly plays well downstate.” Durkin became friends with the late U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, even serving as his Illinois director in the 2008 presidential campaign against home-state favorite Barack Obama. Durkin said McCain “would have figured a way to avoid” the Republican “mess” that led to the U.S. House taking 15 ballots before electing Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California speaker, and also “would have ensured that on Jan. 6, maybe something different, maybe something could have been averted.” “The John McCain I know would have gone outside of the Capitol and kicked the asses of the insurrectionists and Trump’s as well,” Durkin said. “He’s the statesman that this country needs.” . . .He and Durbin also developed a friendship. . .One of his last legislative votes was as the lone Republican to vote with Democrats to approve a ban on military-style firearms and large-capacity magazines. Durkin, who has long backed various gun control initiatives, said his vote not only represented his district’s beliefs but was a reflection of his years as a prosecutor.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/1/8/23545889/departing-state-house-gop-leader-jim-durkin-giving-up-his-seat-in-illinois-general-assembly
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Western Springs Republican in November said he was relinquishing his role as House minority leader, a largely thankless job as his party moved further to the right and the state moved further to the left. Despite his high-profile departure, Durkin in November told the Sun-Times that he wants moderate Republicans to soldier on. “The state wants people who are more to the middle. That’s why we have a bigger independent voting bloc, because of the extremes in both parties. Extremes on both sides dictate the primaries, and that’s what happens in the general elections,” Durkin said.)
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) glorify and praise RINOs and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans as being hardliners.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Miller disclosed the outlines of the sweeping agreement. Besides keeping the speaker on a short leash, her group will: Have the power to block the sort of omnibus bill the House and Senate — with GOP support — approved in one of the last major acts of the 117th Congress. Have the power to block an increase in the debt ceiling, with an impasse possibly leading to a government shutdown. Create, as Miller put it, a committee to “investigate the weaponization of the federal government, including the Biden Department of Justice.” Miller, a farmer, who represents the heavily Republican 15th Congressional District in southern Illinois, was raised in suburban Naperville and in November won her second term. She has served on the House Agriculture Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee, but she is best known for her activism fighting against abortion, gun control measures and other hot-button social issues.)

We wish him good luck on his future endeavors.” The Illinois Freedom Caucus is comprised of State Representatives Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich); Chris Miller (R-Oakland); Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville); Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City) and Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur). The members of the Illinois Freedom Caucus are members of the Illinois General Assembly who are advocating for limited government, lower taxes and accountability and integrity in government.)

TOWNHALL
— Why RINOs Are RINOs – Rachel Alexander
https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2023/01/09/why-rinos-are-rinos-n2618036
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RINOs always declare that they side with Democrats out of “principles,” and attack conservatives for the exact same reasons the left does; the usual vague claims that they’re offensive, too extreme and unelectable. But their assertion of being principled is a smokescreen. Ever notice how RINOs are always well off, well networked and have been around a long time as GOP establishment? It comes down to follow the money and who they know, but they’re too dishonest to admit it.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say Pritzker says “Hike cabinet pay to ‘bring, retain great people.” I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) federal employees are grossly overpaid and b) federal pensions are far too generous. They hint/imply/argue/shout that bad pay and benefits are major reasons why they have never applied for a federal job, but the real reasons include: a) they cannot pass required employment examinations, b) they lack required education, professional certifications, and/or licenses, c) they cannot pass required background investigations, and/or d) they lack required work experience. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who would never be offered a federal job if they applied because of the aforesaid. I got and kept three federal jobs (Post Office Carrier/Clerk for almost 3 years, IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, and GAO Analyst for almost 18 years) a) because I passed required employment examinations (Post Office employment examination, Federal Service Entrance Examination, CPA examination, and Certified Internal Auditor examination), b) because I had required education (high school diploma, bachelor’s degree in management and master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance), professional certifications (CPA, Certified Internal Auditor, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant), and a CPA license, c) because I passed required background investigations, and d) because I had required work experience (almost 9 years working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104.583/year).

https://www.abc27.com/border-report-tour/texas-sues-biden-administration-over-public-assistance-rule-ag-says-migrants-burden-taxpayers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state of Texas has sued the Biden administration over its reversal of a public charge law, alleging it is breaking federal laws by allowing migrants who accept public assistance to reside in the country and to apply for green cards and U.S. citizenship. The Biden administration last year changed the federal definition of who is considered a “public charge” and which noncitizens will be considered inadmissible to enter the United States because they would likely be dependent upon the government for survival. In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Victoria, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday filed the lawsuit against President Joe Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other top officials. “Since 1882, federal immigration law has barred the admission of aliens who are unable to take care of themselves and will become public charges,” the 24-page lawsuit said.
“The Biden Administration seeks to further its open borders policy by enacting a new agency rule that effectively nullifies federal law excluding aliens likely to become public charges,” the lawsuit claims. “The Biden administration is committed to opening the borders to aliens who lack the ability to take care of themselves. Texans should not have to pay for these costly immigrants, nor should any other American,” Paxton said in a statement. “I will continue to defend the rule of law and fight to ensure that the massive costs of illegal immigration don’t further burden taxpayers.”)

How should those like me who share lots of Trump’s demographics react to that? I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who share lots of Trump’s demographics with him, and to save themselves from hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, curry favor with them by demonizing, denigrating, and condemning those who share lots of demographics with Trump. I would focus on those who share Trump’s political affiliation, race, gender, age, financial, and/or marital demographics. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. All politics are local. I would focus on those a) who have stopped me from raising funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2021, b) who promoted BLM and LGBTQ big time in Wheaton in 2020, and/or b) who assured that I would not be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the advent of Donald Trump, polite political discourse was no longer possible for me. If you liked Trump, then I found it hard for me to like you. I found white, male, Christian friends were the first to go, because they all drank the Kool-Aid and became Trumpites. Suddenly, I could not bear to be around men I had called friends for more than 20 years. I found it hard to believe that these and other friends – who seemed liberal and “woke” – were suddenly Neanderthals, following a white nationalist who lied, cheated and lied again. I tried to explain to a white friend that anyone who followed Trump was akin to Germans who followed Hitler. He did not understand me. Parallels between the white nationalist Trump movement and Hitler’s Nazism are too scarily similar. If I was Jewish, it would be impossible for me to be friends with a pro-Hitler German. Therefore, as a Black man in America, I found it difficult to maintain relationships with white men who loved Trump – a racist who borrowed let’s “Make America Great Again” from the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan used this phrase to describe an America where white people were on top and Black people knew their “place.” How could I be friends with white people who applauded a man who wanted to oppress Black people, build a wall to stop Mexicans from crossing our border, stop immigration from “sh-thole countries,” stop visitors from Muslim countries and otherwise create policies that would ensure white people don’t lose the demographic war? Black and brown people are having more babies and emigrating to this country in greater numbers. Black and brown people will be the majority in 2040 and Trump rose to power espousing ideas to stop this demographic trend. Trump stirred up white people who were tired of “diversity,” “affirmative action” and feeling that their white privilege was slipping away. He reached some of my closest friends who, whether they wanted to admit it to themselves or not, felt under siege as white males in America. So, we stopped talking. One friend asked if we could be friends again after the presidential election. I mumbled that I would try.)

— US Big Three auto companies commit to making cars that people don’t want – Stephen Moore (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the US Big Three do whatever the Democrat Party wants them to do.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/auto-companies-cars-electric-vehicles-tesla-ford-gm-toyota
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American auto companies, which are so often bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, have made a pronouncement that they intend, in the next few years, to stop making and assembling gas-engine cars. You know. The kind of cars that Henry Ford started rolling off the assembly line 100 years ago at the Ford Motor Company in Detroit. Henceforth, virtually all American-made cars will be electric vehicles. Perhaps the corporate brass in Michigan’s auto executive offices thinks this makes them good global citizens. They are all in on the fight against global warming. They may be making a political bet that the federal government and more states are going to go the way of California and eventually mandate that every car produced must be battery-operated. But there is also a good deal of virtue-signaling going on here by the folks at Ford and General Motors. It’s a free country, and if they want to start rolling millions of EVs off the assembly lines, so be it. But it’s one thing to make cars that appeal to members of the Sierra Club and quite another to produce automobiles that the typical buyer wants. And guess what? So far, most people have turned a decisive thumbs-down on EVs. (Incidentally, I’m personally agnostic on electric vehicles. I’ve driven Teslas, and they are wonderful smooth-driving vehicles. But they have problems too, such as getting stranded with no juice in the middle of nowhere.) So far, only about 6% of new cars sold are electric vehicles. And polls show that only about half of Americans prefer an EV over a traditional car. Much larger majorities oppose the government telling us what kind of car we can buy. Incidentally, the one state that far outpaces the rest of the country in EV sales (with about 1 in 3 new car sales being battery-operated) is California. But, hey, Detroit: Sorry, California isn’t the country. All of this is to say that there’s a decent chance the American auto companies’ shift to all EVs is going to fail. This could even be the most epic failure for American car companies since Ford introduced the Edsel. (For youngsters, that was the 1950s ugly car that nobody wanted to buy.) Meanwhile, and this is the especially sad part of the story, at least one company realizes the tomfoolery of making only electric cars. And that company is the Japanese automaker Toyota. Akio Toyoda, the president and grandson of the founder of the giant Japanese car company, is going to buck the trend. “People involved in the auto industry are largely a silent majority,” Toyoda recently told news reporters. “That silent majority is wondering whether EVs are really OK to have as a single option. But they think it’s the trend, so they can’t speak out loudly.”)

— Majority of McCarthy’s defectors received thousands in campaign funds during midterms – Cami Mondeaux
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/majority-of-mccarthy-defectors-received-thousands-campaign-funds
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The majority of the Republicans opposing Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid for House speaker received a total of $120,000 in campaign funds from the party leader’s political action committee during the midterm cycle, according to finance filings. At least 20 Republicans have voted against McCarthy’s nomination to become the next speaker, pitting the former minority leader against several members of his party. Of the 20 Republicans, 14 of them received a total of $120,000 from the Majority Committee alone, according to the Federal Election Committee. When taking into account all political groups affiliated with McCarthy, the group received a total of more than $1 million to boost campaigns.)

— Kevin McCarthy Drama Underscores Impotence of Republican Elite – Josh Hammer
https://www.creators.com/read/josh-hammer/01/23/kevin-mccarthy-drama-underscores-impotence-of-republican-elite
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin McCarthy, first elected to Congress in 2006, has been an establishment figure since the day he arrived in Washington, D.C. His political philosophy and guiding principles are to this day largely unknown, to the perhaps-dubious extent they exist at all. True, he is a well-known prolific fundraiser who knows how to work a room full of donors — but what exactly has that accomplished for either the GOP or the conservative cause, of late? McCarthy is best understood as an empty suit and a quintessential Swamp creature — someone who lives and breathes the D.C. game, who is cozy with K Street and whose main lodestar is cutting deals and expending political capital in order to boost his own political fortunes.)

I should write a book about the success that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have had in bringing the aforesaid people to DuPage County, to Milton Township, and to Wheaton since 1978.)

I lived in Crete 1948-1972. My brother lived in Crete 1953-2022. My father lived in Crete 1922-1969. My mother lived in Crete 1945-2016. My ancestors on my father’s side lived in Crete since 1854.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “McCarthy says concessions to hard-line Republicans won’t make him weaker speaker.” What concessions have you been asked to make? My anti-conservative RINO critics/opponents who ended the following never asked me to make any concessions because they knew that I would not make any: my roles as the a) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, b) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, c) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, d) Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster, e) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and f) American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 1997, my anti-conservative anti-Republican Jewish Democrat GAO superiors hinted that they might let me work for another 6 years until I was eligible for regular retirement if I a) agreed to be constructively demoted and to work for my Black subordinate who they had turned against me or b) agreed to be transferred to another audit group. I had worked for their group that audits federal financial industries regulators for almost 8 years. I had just earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and became a Forensic Accountant, Certified Financial Services Auditor, Certified Government Financial Manager, and Certified Fraud Examiner.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Religiously, the 118th Congress doesn’t reflect America,” that is, Democrats crow about their success in getting rid of Christian voters, and especially Protestant voters. Ever-increasingly, Democrats in Congress pass laws that are anti-Christian and especially anti-Protestant.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/government-news/2023/01/survey-religiously-congress-doesnt-reflect-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Congress “remains largely untouched by two trends that have long marked religious life in the United States: a decades-long decline in the share of Americans who identify as Christian, and a corresponding increase in the percentage who say they have no religious affiliation,” said the Pew report, released Tuesday. It was based on a CQ Roll Call survey of members of Congress. Nearly 88% of members of Congress identify as Christian, compared with only 63% of U.S. adults overall. That includes 57% of congresspersons who identify as Protestant and 28% as Catholic, both higher than national rates. Also, 6% of members of Congress identify as Jewish, compared with 2% of the overall population. While 29% Americans claim no religious affiliation, they’d have to squint to see themselves reflected in Congress. The only overtly non-religious members are U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., who identifies as humanist, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, independent of Arizona, who says she’s religiously unaffiliated.)

The Republican Party platform is conservative. The war in the Republican Party is ever-increasingly been between a) anti-conservative Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO leaders, otherwise known as moderate leaders or centrist leaders and b) conservative Republican leaders. I should write a book about that war in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Ever-increasingly, conservative Republican leaders are losing.

He should agree to defend and advance the Republican Party platform which is conservative. I should write a book about the biggest adverse actions that have been taken against me, who took those adverse actions against me, and who could and should have come to my defense, but did not. I have been Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) member since 1999. Since 2021, Wheaton has stopped me from raising funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2015, DuPage County gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois leaders ended my chairmanship or the organization. In 2007, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) leaders ended my service on ICRC’s Steering Committee. In 2006, ICRC leaders almost succeeded in censuring me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on past and present leaders of MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT, and ICRC. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
