NRA-ILA — Illinois Gun Laws https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/illinois/ — House Appropriations to Hear Firearm Permit Bill https://www.nraila.org/articles/20230206/washington-house-appropriations-to-hear-firearm-permit-bill (FROM THE ARTICLE: On February 8th, at 4:00PM, the House Appropriations Committee will hear House Bill 1143, to impose a firearm permit requirement, a training mandate, and a 10-day waiting period scheme, along with allowing indefinite delays on firearm transfers. The Appropriations Committee considers the fiscal impacts of the bill. HB 1143 is an unfunded gun-control mandate and will cost individuals hundreds to thousands of dollars to exercise their fundamental right to keep and bear arms. NRA members and Second Amendment supporters are encouraged to oppose HB 1143 by noting their position for the legislative record and with in-person, remote, or written testimony. Click here for more information on how to participate. House Bill 1143 denies law-abiding citizens their Second Amendment right to acquire firearms unless they obtain a government-issued permit. The permit is only valid for five years and to obtain the permit, the state requires completion of official, sanctioned firearms training every five years. It also imposes an arbitrary ten-day delay on prospective gun owners taking possession of their firearms and makes this delay longer or indefinite if the state fails to complete background check during that time. Again, please contact committee members and ask them to OPPOSE HB 1143, and please consider testifying as well.) — Prohibitionists Seek to Weaponize Yet Another Federal Agency to Target Guns. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20230206/prohibitionists-seek-to-weaponize-yet-another-federal-agency-to-target-guns

DAILY SIGNAL — Race Everywhere in Today’s America – Victor Davis Hanson https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/03/race-everywhere-in-todays-america/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: In sum, class, not race, remains the best litmus test of being underprivileged in America. It is no longer synonymous with race. No wonder the identity politics industry now strains to attach prefixes such as “systemic” or “implicit” to “racism,” or “micro” to “aggression,” purportedly to ferret out bias that otherwise is not apparent. Pause to reflect that America is the only successful multiracial constitutional republic in history. To survive in an increasingly dysfunctional and hostile world abroad, the unique idea of the United States requires concord. But national cohesion is only possible through citizens subordinating their tribal interests to a common culture. Only then do they cease being automatons of warring tribes and collectives. As the world becomes ever scarier, Americans must—as Benjamin Franklin once warned—hang together, or most certainly they will soon all hang separately.)

AOL — Millennials and Money: 5 Simple Ways To Get Ahead of Your Peers Financially – HEATHER TAYLOR (COMMENT: What helped you get ahead financially?

I always spent far less on immediate pleasures than my peers. Instead of renting, I bought a new town home in 1972 and condos in 1974 and 1976. My wife and I got married in 1978. We both worked, but in anticipation of having children, we spent money like we had only one paycheck. We always saved as much as we could for our retirement. Instead of renting, we bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. But according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I got ahead financially, because I avoided the draft. Because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, renters, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Because the federal government grossly overpaid me. Because of my wife’s income. Because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL — Mendrick: ‘If they’ll treat your duly elected sheriff of this county that way, just think how they’ll treat you’ https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/639176461-mendrick-if-they-ll-treat-your-duly-elected-sheriff-of-this-county-that-way-just-think-how-they-ll-treat-you (FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick said U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (R-IL) “got nasty” with him in a phone call after he said he would not enforce the state’s gun ban. Mendrick is one of around 95 sheriffs who said they won’t enforce the ban involving over 170 types of firearms and millions of guns statewide. The law was ruled unconstitutional in a downstate court and is expected to see the same fate in other courts. “My voters had asked me to put out a statement on my opinion of what I’ll be doing on this and the way the law was written. It did nothing on enforcement,” Mendrick told Chicago’s Morning Answer radio host Dan Proft. “We all know if you don’t put who’s responsible, enforcing the law, that it’s going to be an unfunded mandate down at the end of the year. That’s just how this works every time. And I couldn’t get anybody to tell me yes or no. Will we be expected to enforce this? Until I got a call from Sean Casten, congressman, who told me that if I was willing to go to a house filled with Molotov cocktails, I should have no problem going to people’s doors for this law.” Proft pointed out Casten, a Democrat, had suggested Mendrick resign. “And he called on you to resign,” Proft said. “Yeah, to resign. ‘Recall,’ I think he said there’s something like that. He told me on the phone to I have no First Amendment right as a sheriff. And I really thought that was odd, to see the shock and horror of a politician when they don’t get their way or when somebody challenges them, simply because before you even started the conversation of is this right or wrong,” Mendrick said. Mendrick added that when he pushed backed against Casten the congressman “got nasty.” “Well, it got worse, he said some other things I’m not going to divulge just because he really got nasty with me,” Mendrick said. Mendrick added that the lack of respect for another elected official had him question how Casten treats ordinary Illinoisans. “But think about it, if they’ll treat your duly elected sheriff of this county that way, just think how they’ll treat you,” Mendrick said. “I mean, I couldn’t believe it. I live in the definition of a hostile work environment, political intimidation.” Casten was one of five other Democrats in Illinois’ congressional delegation who penned a letter against Mendrick. Casten took to extreme language in his characterization of the decision by Mendrick and around 95% 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.” Mendrick was clear in his rebuke of the law after its signing in early January. “I, among many others, believe that HB 5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution,” Mendrick said. “Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement official for DuPage County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing law-abiding individuals that have been arrested solely with non-compliance of this Act.” He has since become a focal point of angry Democrats seeking to impose their will on local law enforcement. Political organizer Jeanne Ives, a former state representative and former gubernatorial and congressional candidate, was one of hundreds who packed into the DuPage county Board chambers in a Jan. 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 in statement.)

DAILY HERALD — COMMENT: Democrats say “Clarity and common sense casualties of DuPage debate over new gun ban.” DuPage County Democrat elected officials and party leaders have come out strongly against the Second Amendment, in favor of the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA), and against Mendirick. DuPage County Republican elected officials and party leaders should come out strongly in favor of the Second Amendment, in opposition to PICA ,and in support of Mendrick. https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20230201/daily-herald-opinion-clarity-and-common-sense-casualties-of-dupage-debate-over-new-gun-ban (FROM THE EDITORIAL: The back and forth between DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and county officials upset about his stance on Illinois’ new high-powered weapons ban turned into quite the political soap opera this month, complete with press conferences, protests, TV appearances and, finally, some sort of consensus after Mendrick met with DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and County Board Chair Deb Conroy Monday. Come Tuesday morning, however, Mendrick had this to say: “Don’t listen to the media,” his statement starts out. “I was not threatened to be censured or anything else during this meeting. The meeting that I had with State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and County Board Chair … Conroy yesterday was the first day three tiers of government came together in discussion on this topic.” First, a little context — and clarity. “This topic,” of course, is the sheriff’s initial refusal to enforce a provision of the new law requiring current owners of high-powered weapons to register them with the state. The meeting he refers to ended with an agreement that he would enforce the law after clarification that the ban does not mandate deputies go door to door checking on compliance. And while Monday’s meeting may not have mentioned censure, it was followed by a joint statement in which Conroy says she will not seek censure — an idea raised at an earlier public meeting and elsewhere. Mendrick’s statement then assures gun owners that sheriff’s deputies would not be showing up at the homes of “law-abiding residents to harass them over gun registration.” “We will not be sending deputies out proactively to take your lawfully owned guns,” he went on. “Please remove that stressor from your lives.” We would argue that Mendrick and others created “that stressor.” Officials have every right to question how they will be expected to enforce the law, but they jumped all too quickly to conclusions and, in some cases, distortions. While lawmakers have made clear that house-to-house inspections are not expected, opponents continue to stoke fears. Earlier this month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker called the refusal of many Illinois sheriffs to enforce the law “political grandstanding at its worst.” We have come to agree. Just look to McHenry County, where the partisanship is so strong Republicans have called for the county to become a gun sanctuary. In DuPage, Mendrick refused to answer calls from local reporters on his stance. He did not appear before the county board. But he was more than happy to share his concerns with like-minded listeners on AM 560’s “Black and Right” radio program and on Fox News’ “America Reports.” It’s a big step forward that Mendrick has agreed to enforce the law. Other dissenting sheriffs should follow suit.

NORTHWEST HERALD — COMMENT: Democrats say “Nearly 40 residents speak about McHenry County resolution denouncing state gun ban. Resolution will move to full board despite concerns about ‘inflammatory’ language.” What are the Republican leaders of your county doing to make your county a gun sanctuary? https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2023/01/31/nearly-40-residents-speak-about-mchenry-county-resolution-denouncing-state-gun-ban/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: A resolution opposing the new Illinois gun ban is set to be considered by the McHenry County Board, but changes to the measure are almost certain to come, officials said. The resolution, which would affirm McHenry County’s stance against House Bill 5471, would not make the county a gun sanctuary as some have pushed for, but does denounce the new law, calling it unconstitutional and a violation of the Second Amendment. At the county’s Law and Government Committee meeting on Tuesday, more than 100 residents showed up, with nearly 40 of them speaking. As has been the case with previous meetings where this topic was discussed, those who spoke were divided on the topic. The resolution did not get enough votes on Tuesday to be recommended as written, with the committee split in a 3-3 vote. However, the resolution will still move on to the full County Board where it will be considered in a part of the agenda that will open it up for more discussion instead of the consent agenda where items are voted en masse and typically without discussion. The gun ban, passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker in early January, bans more than 100 different guns from being purchased, most of which are semi-automatic rifles, along with different attachments and caps the amount of ammunition certain guns can have. It also creates a requirement that owners of the newly banned guns eventually register them with the Illinois State Police. . .In addition to the resolution being considered, McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally has filed a lawsuit seeking to declare the law unconstitutional. Other lawsuits throughout the state – including one with a McHenry County gun shop on board – seek similar outcomes. Tuesday’s meeting also follows a statement by McHenry County Sheriff Robb Tadelman saying neither he or other deputies would enforce the registration provision of the bill. He joined roughly 80 other sheriffs in Illinois in making the declaration.) — COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats do more to abolish the Second Amendment. https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2023/01/31/letter-tired-of-hearing-about-the-second-amendment/

DUPAGE COUNTY — Joint Statement on DuPage County Public Safety (QUESTIONS: DuPage County has the second most residents of Illinois’ 102 counties. It has more residents than five states and the District of Columbia. What do the 80 Illinois County Sheriffs who object to the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) have to say about this? Have any of them been threatened with censure like Mendrick has been? So far, exactly what has Pritzker demanded that Illinois County Sheriffs do to implement the PICA? What will Pritzker demand that they do to implement the act? How do Illinois residents become “licensed” to own an assault weapon? Is it by having a FOID card? If Illinois residents become licensed to own assault weapons by having a FOID card, what about those in DuPage County who have assault weapons but do not have a FOID card? Has/will Pritzker demanded/demand that Illinois County Sheriffs go door to door seeking to remove assault weapons from them? What if Pritzker gives Mendrick a list of residences in DuPage County that have assault weapons in them but no one living there has a FOID card? What if Pritzker demands that Mendrick go to those doors seeking to remove those assault weapons?

The conversation also included discussion of Illinois’ new assault weapons ban, known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act. Enforcement of this law does not demand that deputies go door to door seeking to remove weapons from those licensed to own them. With this understanding, Sheriff Mendrick is committed to enforcing all state and local laws. Chair Conroy is committed to supporting the Sheriff’s Office in maintaining safe communities within DuPage County and sees no reason to pursue a censure resolution at this time. All parties look forward to positive, productive collaboration on important initiatives that will keep DuPage residents safe and ensure the security of our communities moving forward.”)
CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS — Illinois State Police enforcing state’s gun ban, reveal one case under investigation – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Exactly what has Pritzker demanded that your County Sheriff do to enforce the Protect Illinois Communities Act? Is your County Sheriff complying with those demands? For example, what if someone in your county continues to sell assault weapons to residents of Illinois and Pritzker demands that your County Sheriff stop them?) https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/illinois-state-police-enforcing-state-s-gun-ban-reveal-one-case-under-investigation/article_6462dc04-a0f0-11ed-a9d5-d30cb6d205bd.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Police say they took enforcement action against a business for openly advertising the sale of newly banned weapons, but no additional information was provided. In a YouTube video Friday, gun-rights advocate Todd Vandermyde revealed he’d been told that the state is taking actions to enforce the state’s ban on certain semiautomatic guns and magazines. “It appears that there was a gun shop that was selling stuff, post the enactment,” Vandermyde said after sharing an anonymous tip that state police confiscated weapons from an individual. Monday, a spokesperson for Illinois State Police confirmed in a statement to The Center Square that ISP took enforcement action earlier this month against a business for “openly advertising the sale of banned weapons.” The statement said the investigation is ongoing and additional information wasn’t immediately available. Vandermyde cautioned what he sees transpiring. Cook County Sheriff “Tom Dart and everybody can say there aren’t going to be house-to-house searches, I would beg to differ with you, sheriff,” Vandermyde said. While Dart has said they will enforce the gun ban, most of the state’s 102 sheriffs have said they won’t. ISP said Monday state police are “charged with upholding all state laws, including enforcement of businesses that openly violate current laws.” The law is being challenged in several state and federal judicial circuits. In McHenry County Monday, a motion was made to move its gun-ban challenge from state court to federal court. In several separate pending federal cases, ISP made a motion to consolidate into a Crawford County case last week. Chief U.S. District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel, an Obama appointee, reassigned two of those cases to Stephen McGlynn, a Trump-appointed judge. “The action arises out of the same facts and is closely related to [the Illinois State Rifle Association’s] Harrel, et al. v. Raoul … which was filed before this action and is assigned to District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn,” Rosenstengel said. The Crawford County case Langley v. Kelly was the first lawsuit filed against Illinois’ gun ban in state court, but it was transferred to federal court after the ISRA case was filed in federal court with a judge assigned. ISRA’s Ed Sullivan said while there are several independent cases in Illinois courts alleging individuals’ Second Amendment rights are being infringed, “we also have to keep an eye on the price elsewhere as well,” including a Second Amendment case filed in Maryland. “Because what happens elsewhere certainly can influence what happens here, so I think Maryland is the most obvious target for us to keep an eye out,” Sullivan told The Center Square. In that Maryland case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit heard oral arguments Dec. 6. It’s unclear when a ruling would be rendered. Still pending in Illinois federal court is a ruling on a TRO in the challenge of Naperville’s gun ban. The judge in that case Monday notified the state that it is also a defendant after plaintiffs expanded their challenge last week. In a separate state challenge last week, state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, filed a lawsuit against the state’s gun ban. Caulkins is the lead plaintiff with a new association called Law-Abiding Gun Owners of Macon County. Attorney Thomas DeVore filed to intervene, claiming he has clients that don’t want to be part of a group he said may not stand legal scrutiny. “Dan is trying to take the position that my clients are members of an association that they never heard of and they never agreed to join and that could place some risk on them,” DeVore told The Center Square. “The attorney general might want to start deposing them.” DeVore filed an Effingham County challenge on behalf of 866 named plaintiffs. It is pending an appellate court decision of a lower court’s temporary restraining order blocking the law. A ruling on a TRO is pending in a White County case where DeVore represents nearly 1,700 named plaintiffs. Caulkins’ attorney Jerry Stock labeled DeVore’s filing as a “side show.” Stock argued he doesn’t need hundreds of plaintiffs in a case to prove the law is unconstitutional. “There was no way I was going to attempt to represent hundreds of clients when the remedy sought is a judgment, not the temporary time out,” Stock told The Center Square. “While we’ll seek that on this path, the real goal was to knock this legislation out. I thought that my firm taking a fee based on the volume of clients was not something I could be comfortable with ethically.” Stock said he wasn’t casting aspersions and people can hire any attorney they want, but he “very strongly disagrees” with DeVore’s approach. “I think it’s a far more liberal way of pursuing the claims,” Stock said. “And not having to implicate every individual gun owner or to charge every individual gun owner a fee, because it just was not necessary.” A hearing in Caulkins’ case is set for Friday in Macon County.)
NORTHWEST HERALD — The gun ban law won’t protect us from criminals – Randy Illg, Union https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2023/01/30/letter-the-gun-ban-law-wont-protect-us-from-criminals/ (FROM THE LETTER: The supposed intent of the gun ban law is to make us all safe. After the governor signed it, did you feel safer? Did you sleep better last night? The actual intent of the ban is to remove all small arms from civilian ownership. The Second Amendment deals with this because the men who wrote it understood that a defenseless citizenry is the breeding ground for dictators to take control. Law enforcement personnel, from the lowest rank to the state attorney, make value judgments every day. If they didn’t, every one of us would be driving 45 mph in a 45 mph speed zone, and every arrest would automatically result in prosecution. Why didn’t you cry foul when cities decided to become sanctuary cities for illegal aliens? Where was your outrage then? If you believe that this law will make us safer, you are mistaken. Criminals do not respect the law. Why don’t you call the governor of California and ask him how gun control is working for them? Criminals do not get FOID cards. They don’t go through the same training and licensing process as law-abiding citizens. Criminals don’t care about anyone but themselves. The only thing that will stop a criminal threat to your life is force. Once you understand this, you will do the right thing, arm yourself, and join those of us who are willing to stand up for what is right. Sleep tight.)

NORTHWEST HERALD — Stop calling semi-automatic rifles assault rifles – Patrick Donlea, Crystal Lake https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2023/01/29/letter-stop-calling-semi-automatic-rifles-assault-rifles/ (FROM THE LETTER: I understand many people use hyperbole to make their arguments sound more compelling. That being said, we have to stop calling any semi-automatic rifle designed and sold for civilian and police use an “assault rifle.” An assault rifle is a specific tool designed for and used by the military. Because of this, it should not be available for civilian or civil police use. The assault rifle is distinguished from the standard battle rifle by three primary characteristics that make it easier to use in close quarters, such as urban or jungle fighting. These characteristics are: 1. It’s comparatively short and light. 2. It fires a less powerful, and, therefore lighter, round bullet. 3. It has a selective fire switch which allows it to shoot in either semi-automatic or fully automatic mode, such as firing three shot bursts as a third option. The last of these characteristics makes it a type of machine gun. This puts the assault rifle under the registration requirements of the National Firearms Act (NFA). It should be noted that Illinois law has already prohibited the possession of all NFA weapons, specifically machine guns, by Illinois residents since 1961 (720 ILCS 5/24). So, please stop calling a semi-automatic rifle a machine gun or assault rifle when discussing current gun laws. For the past 62 years, it has been illegal to own assault rifles in Illinois.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT — 7 Lessons From Those Who Retired By FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). Equip yourself with the tools to enjoy early retirement. – Rachel Hartman (COMMENT: Because my Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those who ancestors had been America for a long time and who they had not promote to Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year by age 40, I planned on retiring as soon I became eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would be 55. But they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. Consequently my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is significantly less. My CSRS pension today is less than what my IRS salary was in today’s dollars in 1972 when I was 23 years old.) https://money.usnews.com/money/retirement/aging/articles/lessons-from-those-who-retired-by-fire (FROM THE ARTICLE: 1.

FORBES — America Needs To Improve How It Treats Its Older Workers – Teresa Ghilarducci https://www.forbes.com/sites/teresaghilarducci/2023/01/28/how-america-treats-its-older-workers-new-data/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: Involuntary Retirement It is hard for older workers to keep a job, as Urban Institute’s Richard W. Johnson showed the economists gathered there. Older workers do worse under conditions of layoffs and business closures. Job-finding is easier for workers under 50 who get displaced from a job — more than 70% of displaced workers under 50 typically find new work within three years of their job loss. For workers 55-61, however, that number falls to 59%. Among those who can start claiming Social Security, at ages 62 and older the reemployment rate falls to just 38%. So they claim early Social Security benefits at reduced monthly benefits or they start bidding down and take jobs that are worse than their previous ones. Early retirement is an all-too-common last resort, and involuntary retirements increase the risk of depression and downward mobility. Labor market scarring is another effect of job loss beyond the pain of unemployment. Scarring refers to the earnings losses experienced by displaced workers who do manage to find work again. Once again, things get worse as you move up in age. Re-employed displaced workers, age 55-61, earn 22% less than they did before, a scarring effect that is more than twice as severe as for those in their 30s. Weekly earnings are 29% lower for reemployed displaced workers 62 and older.)

That’s more challenging because now you have a sort of fixed income if you’re lucky. Getting any kind of fixed income that you have to depend on kind of perpetuates the racial wealth gap.”)
NASDAQ — How to Save for Retirement Even When You’re in Your 20s and Broke – Mary Ellen Cagnassola (COMMENT: I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension in 1966 when I was 18 years old and started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office. I earned full-time CSRS credits even though I worked only part-time. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been ever-increasingly furious about that ever since then. I earned almost 9 years of CSRS credits working for IRS 1971-1980 and almost 18 years of CSRS credits working for GAO 1980-1997. My CSRS pension is dramatically reduced a) because my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors wasted my career and took many adverse actions against me and b) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. Nevertheless, my CSRS pension is currently $63,144/year. But my CSRS pension today is less than what my IRS salary was in today’s dollars in 1972 when I was 23 years old. In addition, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been ever-increasingly furious because as a federal employee and retiree, the federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health, dental, and vision insurance.) https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/how-to-save-for-retirement-even-when-youre-in-your-20s-and-broke

FED SMITH — The 2023 COLA is the largest in over 40 years. (COMMENT: My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension increased from $58,101/year to $63,144/year, that is, by $5,043/year, that is, by 8.7%.

J.B. Pritzker’s latest “assault weapons” ban, and now Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin claiming that the Founding Fathers would have supported banning certain guns. Democrats have made a lot of noise about banning “military-style” weapons and “weapons of war,” particularly the AR-15 platform – their favorite punching bag – in the name of stopping shootings mostly committed in the ghettos of Democrat-run cities such as Los Angeles, New Orleans, Detroit and most famously Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago. Obviously, this is a false proposition. Criminals don’t register guns or obey the law – they’re criminals. Armed civilians deter crime, whether with “military-style” weapons or a Taurus G3C Subcompact. Gun advocates have made this argument repeatedly. Unfortunately, it falls short and even helps justify bans like the Illinois one. If a subcompact with a five-round magazine is enough for self-defense, then it shouldn’t be a problem if Chicago, for instance, bans anything over 10 rounds, full autos and certain long guns. Because as Democrats argue, you don’t need an M4 to shoot a criminal or hunt. But history says there’s more to the Second Amendment. When the Founders wrote the Second Amendment, it was a shock to the world of monarchs and tyrants who kept their populations in line by force and decree. Its protections make America unique. Virtually no country has anything close to it. It gave meaning to the idea of being a citizen of a nation instead of the subject of a despot.)

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.)

Eleventh Circuit Judge Mark Fellheimer determined that the claims filed on the candidates’ behalf by former Republican attorney general candidate Tom DeVore against Normal’s town government and Clerk Angie Huonker were not aligned with state and local law. At issue was whether the clerk was required to certify the candidates’ petitions for the offices of town collector and town supervisor, two offices that are not part of Normal’s government body, and town clerk, a position that is currently appointed.)
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.)
WESTERN SPRINGS PATCH — GOP Insiders To Pick Durkin Replacement. The Republican Party says it will publicly interview “select” candidates. – David Giuliani (COMMEMT: Of course, conservatives like me, that is, platform Republicans like me, that is, Republicans like me fear that another anti-conservative, that is, another platform Republican, that is, another anti-Republican will be selected.) https://patch.com/illinois/westernsprings/gop-insiders-pick-durkin-replacement (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.)
WASHINGTON TIMES — DHS released 1,100 criminals from detention in December – Stephen Dinan https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jan/25/dhs-released-1100-criminals-detention-december/ — 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.) https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jan/25/house-gop-asks-irs-employees-snitch-agency/
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?)

PATRIOT POST — Democrats Demand ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban – MARK ALEXANDER https://patriotpost.us/alexander/94436-shocker-demos-demand-assault-weapons-ban-2023-01-25 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Because neither of the assailants fit Joe Biden’s favored “white supremacist” profile, he trotted out his familiar call for banning so-called “assault weapons.” This despite the fact that neither of the assailants used rifles in the attacks. Fact is, rifles of any type and shotguns combined are used in less than 3% of all homicides, but Biden has never let facts get in the way of his political agenda.)
REASON — No Matter the ‘Details on These Shootings,’ Biden Says, Congress Should Respond by Banning ‘Assault Weapons’ The president seems to have forgotten his concession that such laws leave murderers with plenty of options that are “just as deadly.” – JACOB SULLUM (COMMEMT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use shootings a) to outlaw semi-automatic firearms, then b) to outlaw all firearms, then c) to confiscate all firearms, then d) to justify abolishing the Second Amendment, and then d) to officially abolish the Second Amendment. 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.) https://reason.com/2023/01/25/no-matter-the-details-on-these-shootings-biden-says-congress-should-respond-by-banning-assault-weapons/ (FROM WIKIPEDIA: His (Polk’s) message to Congress on May 11, 1846, claimed that “Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon American soil.” The U.S. Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, 1846.

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.?

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.)

NEWSMAX — 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.)
THE HILL — COMMENT: Democrats say “Where Biden’s racial justice agenda stands.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) blame Republicans for all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have and b) encourage minorities to hate Republicans.

NBC NEWS — 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.

PRAIRIE STATE WIRE — Lawmakers eyeing bill to mandate race-based, anti-white reading: ‘The reading list will dominate the curriculum’ (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to send your child to a public school is make your child a sexually active LGBTQer who is anti-parent, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-financial success, anti-homeownership, anti-gun ownership, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) 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.”)
WASHINGTON FREE BEACON — Woke Agenda Survives: These House Republicans Are Sticking With ‘Diversity and Inclusion.’ GOP-controlled committee makes advancing DEI a priority. – Joseph Simonson (COMMENT: I should write a book about those anti-conservative, that is, those anti-platform Republican, that is, those anti-Republican leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who since 2000 have had the most success in a) replacing conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) with moderate and liberal RPCs, b) replacing White RPCs with minority RPCs, c) replacing male RPCs with female RPCs, d) replacing older RPCs with younger RPCs, e) replacing heterosexual RPCs with LGBTQ RPCs, f) replacing Christian RPCs with non-Christians RPCs, g) replacing Protestant RPCs with non-Protestant RPCs, h) replacing Italian American RPCs with non-Italian American RPCs, i) replacing German American RPCs with non-German American RPCs, and j) replacing RPCs whose ancestors have been in American for a long time with RPCs whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA — SENATE PASSES 12 GUN CONTROLS Your Congressman Has One LAST CHANCE to Stop 12 Gun Controls – Aidan Johnston https://www.gunowners.org/12222022/
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.)

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.
