All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. On my father’s side, my great great grandfather worked in a brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854 and then he homesteaded a farm in Crete. My great grandfather and my grandfather operated a hardware store in Crete. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. On my mother’s side, my great great grandfather was a sharecropper. My great grandfather and my grandfather operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border. My mother was raised on that farm.)

— How to Make Your Financial Life Happier in 2022. After two years in which many have been under pandemic stress and strain, consider making your money goals focus on happiness. – Anne Tergesen (COMMENT: What “really matters” to you? Obviously, putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening really matters to me.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-make-your-financial-life-happier-in-2022-11640399712
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Focus on yourself. Studies show that as income rises, so does happiness. But once earnings reach about $75,000, more money brings no significant improvements to happiness, according to a 2010 study. (The $75,000 in 2010 would be about $96,000 in today’s dollars. The income threshold is likely to be higher in expensive locations.) Part of the problem is that when income rises, we start to compare ourselves with new peers, said Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor who studies happiness at the University of California, Riverside. “We might delight in a new hatchback just a tiny bit less every time our neighbor drives by in his convertible,” she added. One way to boost happiness is to analyze what really matters to us—rather than to others. To prompt clients to clarify their goals and make sure their goals are really theirs, George Kinder, founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, asks three questions: What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world? How would you live if you knew you had only five to 10 years left? And what would you most regret if you die tomorrow? “The third question is key,” says Mr. Kinder, 73 years old, whose answers have led him to spend more time in nature, with family and writing books. “It is fundamentally important not to compromise on something that, if unfulfilled, would leave you with a deep regret.” Save time and aggravation. Anything you can do to create more free time can lead to happiness,” said Dr. Lyubomirsky.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sheilacallaham/2021/12/26/signs-that-age-equity-is-gaining-workplace-relevance-at-last/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While progress toward workplace age equity has been slow, this past year shows definite signs of improvement. As a result, there is an elevated awareness of workplace age bias and discrimination and the need for companies and organizations to address it. Earlier this year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made it very clear: job postings conveying preference — for example, “recent graduate,” young,” “energetic,” are examples of a recruiting practice that may involve systemic age discrimination. The update provided transparency by explaining the use of administrative and litigation tools used to identify and pursue systemic discriminatory practices. In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its Global Report on Ageism and issued a call-to-action for all ages. In collaboration with the United Nations, the 200-page report defined a myriad of ways ageism manifests across the age spectrum. Promoting the report’s release, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus underscored how insidious and socially acceptable ageism is and how important it is for all countries to participate in actions to prevent it. At the same time, the Urban Institute released the results of a study showing how the unemployment rate for older workers was at the highest annual rate on record–more than double that of younger workers. Not only is it more challenging for older workers to find employment, the lack of opportunity often forces them to dip into retirement savings or take early social security, robbing them of future earnings.)

https://www.wbez.org/stories/the-political-battle-for-illinois-counties/a2ef057e-aa35-4e06-b86a-7a4cd6fdb3cc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2018, Pritzker made easy work out of predecessor Bruce Rauner’s reelection bid, routing the one-term Republican by nearly 16 percentage points. Pritzker did so while losing 86 out of Illinois’ 102 counties, but that showing amounted to an improvement for Democrats over previous elections. Admittedly, many of those 86 counties are sparsely populated. Regardless of the margins Rauner put up in them, they weren’t enough to overcome Pritzker winning four out of five of the collar counties and taking Cook County by historic margins. Pritzker defeated Rauner in Cook County by more than 836,000 votes. No gubernatorial candidate since at least the Roaring ’20s posted a winning margin that large in Cook County.)

— Orthodox rabbis call on US universities to suspend diversity programs. A recent study suggested that the programs spread antisemitism. – Tyler O’Neil (COMMENT: In 1989, when I was 41 years old, after my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors made it clear that to get rid of me, they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, they approved my request to be assigned to their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. That group was led by a GS-15 (currently $142,041-$172,500/year) Jewish younger female of Russian national origin. Many, if not most of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want to work with her and/or to work for her because she was Jewish, younger than they were, female, more liberal that they were, Russian national origin, demanding, wealthy, and/or had more education and/or professional certifications than they had. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She accepted me into her group because I had a) become a licensed CPA in 1981, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— A Deafening Silence – Patrick Hall
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/blog/2021/12/21/a-deafening-silence
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to government crime statistics, if you are a police officer, you are 361times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. Also, blacks being only 13% of the population, commit violent crimes at 7 to 10 times the rate of other Americans. Black crime is even more prevalent in our largest cities. For example, blacks committed 76 percent of all homicides in Chicago, IL, despite composing 35 percent of the city’s population. Blacks also accounted for 78 percent of all juvenile arrests. In the city of New York, even before the current chaos we witnessed following the death of George Floyd, blacks committed 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crimes, despite only composing 23 percent of the population. Here is another statistic hiding in plain sight that doesn’t fit the secular homily proselytized by the corporate media, NPR, Democratic Party, and the “only” Black-Lives-Matter bigots. Black commit over 52% of all homicides despite only 13% of the population. We can also add this data to the loud silence emanating from our nation’s racism industry entrepreneurs. In 2015 nearly 6000 blacks were murdered by other blacks.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/smith-college-ex-staffer-sues-over-anti-white-racism-ideological-struggle-sessions_4168397.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Smith College administrative employee Jodi Shaw, a white woman, is suing the elite school in federal court for retaliation and racial discrimination including forced participation in humiliating ideological indoctrination sessions. David Pitvorak, who describes himself in his Twitter biography as an “individual rights attorney taking on Critical Race Theory in the courts,” is representing Shaw in the lawsuit. “We allege that Smith forced Shaw to undergo ritual racial humiliation and tasked her with implementing policies that racially segregated and discriminated against students,” Pitvorak tweeted. The 101-page lawsuit was filed Dec. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.)

— Is inheritance tax the answer to inequality? – Prenisha Govender (COMMENT: Should everyone be required to disclose the biggest things that their parents did to help them succeed? My outstanding parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. They provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) 1966-1968 while I took courses at UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school.)

— Big banks with history of lending inequities dominate competition for city deposits – Fran Spielman (COMMENT: When did you first borrow money, from whom, and for what? I first borrowed money ($3,000) in October of 1971 when I was 23 years old from a big downtown Chicago bank to buy a new 1972 Chevy Corvette. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE had been stolen in Chicago in August of that year and I had gotten a $2,500 insurance settlement. I had bought a 1962 Chevy BelAir for everyday use. I had worked for IRS since June of 1971 and I was working part-time pumping gasoline for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969.)
