FORTUNE
— These Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employee MBAs – SYDNEY LAKE (COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, I started working for the Democrats who ran IRS. The employee manual that they gave me encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. Because of that, and notwithstanding the fact that IRS did not reimburse anything for tuition or books, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. Further, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But in 1978, because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat superiors outrageously disallowed the tuition and books that I had deducted on my 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977 income tax returns and outrageously argued that the courses were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, qualified me for a new trade or business, and were taken my me to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average cost of earning an MBA ranges from about $60,000 to more than $200,000, so financial aid can be a welcome benefit for those people seeking a graduate business degree. And here’s some good news: Many Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employees’ MBA degrees, whether it’s a full sponsorship, tuition reimbursement, or a guaranteed annual contribution directly to the university you attend. Some companies even have partnerships with universities that offer specialized MBA programs or tuition discounts.)

My critics/opponents have always stressed that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they were never in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone. I stress that if I had benefitted from slavery, I would not have had to work my way through college.)

— Elon Musk Slams US Immigration Policy, Highlights Mother’s Struggles. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis.
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/elon-musk-slams-us-immigration-policy-highlights-mothers-struggles-4997224
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Billionaire Elon Musk took to social media to voice his concerns about the economic implications of illegal immigration, adding his criticism to the ongoing debate surrounding the Joe Biden administration’s approach to an alleged border crisis. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis. “A few other things you probably don’t know: illegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver’s licenses, free healthcare (California & New York) and in-state college tuition. What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn’t pay taxes or do jury duty?” he wrote. “If you’re wondering why housing is so expensive, this is a major contributor,” he added. With housing prices reaching record highs in November and mortgage rates near two-decade highs due to the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation, the US real estate market is facing challenges, a Fox News report claims. Homebuyers are struggling, and renters are experiencing a surge in financial burdens, the report adds. Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies revealed that in 2022, an unprecedented 22.4 million American renters were considered “cost burdened” by their monthly housing payments. Renters are classified as “burdened” if they spend more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, and this staggering number represents roughly half of all US tenants. Born and raised in South Africa, Musk moved to Canada at the age of 18 before becoming a US citizen. “I’m not anti-immigration; I’m just against a massive number of unvetted people flooding into America, which any rational person should be,” he said. The Tesla chief’s mother, Maye Musk, 75, in a separate post, highlighted her struggles of getting US citizenship, even claiming that it took her 12 years to become a US citizenship. “I couldn’t get US citizenship even though my father and grandmother were born in Minnesota, and my grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, was born in Illinois. I was born in Canada so it took me 12 years through visas, a green card, a lawyer, and numerous medical tests. That’s how hard it is,” her post read. Responding to it, Musk wrote, “Yeah, it was extremely difficult and took over a decade for me to get US citizenship.” US Senators on Sunday released a $20.2 billion legislation for border security and immigration policy changes agreed to by Democratic and Republican negotiators. The new law would give President Joe Biden the power to reject asylum seekers if illegal border crossings reached over 5,000 per week, news agency AFP reported.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2832163/history-taylor-swift-political-involvement-resurface-2024/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Swift endorsed her first Democratic candidates in October: Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives from her home state of Tennessee. She also knocked now-Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who defeated Bredesen in the general election. Cooper won reelection that year. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. “I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” she added. 2019 The Lover star vocally supported the Equality Act, and in 2019, she began Pride Month by writing an open letter to then-Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) encouraging him to vote in favor of the bill. “While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office,” Swift said in a release posted to X, called Twitter at the time. “Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change.” She also included the letter she wrote to Alexander in her post, pointing to his support of a resolution honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. “This was a positive step 100 years ago and I hope we can all continue to put aside partisan affiliations when it comes to matters of basic human rights,” Swift wrote, referring to the amendment. She also created a petition on change.org to urge the Senate to pass the Equality Act.)

CREATORS SYNDICATE
— Now That Trump Has Wrapped up GOP Nomination and Leads Biden in Every Swing State, Here Are the 11 Things Desperate Democrats Are Willing to Do to Win – Wayne Allyn Root
https://www.creators.com/read/wayne-allyn-root/02/24/now-that-trump-has-wrapped-up-gop-nomination-and-leads-biden-in-every-swing-state-here-are-the-11-things-desperate-democrats-are-willing-to-do-to-win
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. We could see more indictments of Trump from now through the election. Maybe even a big one out of left field close to the election — a so-called October surprise. 2. They will try to convict Trump before the November election — and if possible, lead him out of the courtroom in handcuffs, straight to prison. 3. They will keep trying to disqualify Trump — at least until they get a final ruling out of the Supreme Court. 4. If all else fails, I fear the deep state will try to assassinate Trump. They really are that evil. 5. And if all that fails, Biden will drop out of the race for health reasons, and Democrats will choose Michelle Obama as their 2024 presidential nominee. I’m no Johnny-come-lately to this prediction. I made it in print a year ago — on Jan. 22, 2023. The only issue here is, does Michelle want it? If not, they’ll either replace Biden with California Gov. Gavin Newsom or stick with Biden but double down on the other 10 planks in this column to rig the election against Trump. 6. In conjunction with all the above, Democrats will try their best to start World War III as both a WMD (weapon of mass distraction) and to stir up patriotism for the incumbent Democrat president. 7. Democrats could cancel the election with the country paralyzed by waves of deadly terror attacks (with terrorists that Biden waved in with his open borders) or an EMP attack that cripples our water, sewage, electric grid and infrastructure. 8. China will invade Taiwan this year. China needs to move before the election — while the brain-dead man with dementia and diapers, who is bribed and blackmailed by China, is still in control. 9. The COVID pandemic was just a trial run. Another pandemic could strike America in the run-up to the election — but this one will be far deadlier. This will result in panic, hysteria and a 100% mail-in ballot election (the perfect recipe for voter fraud). 10. Black Lives Matter was just a trial run. Expect mass anarchy in the run-up to the election, but much larger than the BLM demonstrations in the summer of 2020 — this time involving not just disgruntled black rioters and looters but millions of illegal aliens combined with pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protestors. 11. And most importantly, combine everything above with the same game plan from 2020: Mail-in ballots combined with no voter ID. Ballot harvesting (a crime everywhere else in the world but America). Unsupervised ballot drop boxes. No signature match on ballots. Billions of dollars spent on “election integrity” by globalist billionaires — with the real purpose to rig the turnout in favor of Democrats. Social media rigging the election by censoring the news feed to allow only fake positive news about Democrats and only negative stories about Trump. And of course, the simplest scam of all: Keep counting votes for days after election night until Democrats win. Count on much of that, or all of that, happening over the next nine months.)

— The ‘Harvard of Christian schools’ slams Fox News op/ed calling the college ‘woke’ Wheaton College is calling out a Fox News opinion piece by freelancer Tim Scheiderer, saying ‘it failed to meet minimal standards for journalistic accuracy.’ – Amaris Encinas
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/01/wheaton-college-fox-news-opinion-woke/72370641007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A college known as the “Harvard of Christian schools” is clapping back at a Fox News opinion piece that claims the school has gone “woke” just like Harvard University. Wheaton College, a private Christian liberal arts school just outside Chicago, issued a statement Wednesday addressing the Fox News article, saying that they “remain committed to Christian service” and that the “claims made about the college are false or misleading.” Freelance writer Tim Scheiderer, who penned the Fox News op/ed, says that the school has begun to “mimic Harvard’s wokeness” by “banning biblical words, teaching critical race theory, and psychologizing gender identity issues.” “In the 19th century, Harvard was slowly, and permanently, transformed from a Christian university into a secular one,” Scheiderer writes. “At Wheaton, the biblical belief in only two sexes is being tainted. With this and the other shifts mentioned, it may seem like a slow drift. But a gentle tide can carry a boat far from its dock.” Wheaton College President Philip Ryken slammed the “incendiary” opinion piece, saying in a statement that it “failed to meet minimal standards for journalistic accuracy.” Here’s what we know. Who is Tim Scheiderer? Scheiderer, the author of the article, has no apparent affiliation with Wheaton College. He graduated from Bob Jones University, a private evangelical university in Greenville, South Carolina, with a B.A. in mass communications and media studies in 1999. He also has a “Master of Divinity” from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to his LinkedIn page. Scheiderer’s resumé also lists him as a founding board member of The Augustine Fellowship, a Christian Study Center at Georgetown University. He says on his website that he earned his “writing chops” working for ABC, Fox News and CNN. What else does the Fox News article say? Scheiderer writes that Wheaton College has slowly drifted away from traditional Christian values since the 2000s when the education department “commended the teachings of Marxists.” The college’s most “blatant offense against Christianity is the ban of certain biblical words that are key to the faith’s foundation,” stating that students have been discouraged from using words like “service” and “mankind.” He also calls out an endowed chair in Wheaton’s psychology program for expressing views on gender identity that Scheiderer says are “rooted in an anti-God philosophy.” Scheiderer concludes the article by asking: “Would Billy Graham, the most influential 20th-century evangelical, endorse his alma mater? How has Wheaton College responded? In his statement, Wheaton College’s president discouraged community members from “engaging further” with Scheiderer. The article, which Ryken says appeared to have been “cobbled from out-of-context items found on the Internet” is mischaracterizing since the author “does not name any sources or give any citations for his many contentions.” Ryken said that Scheiderer had reached out to the college’s marketing department a month ago, claiming that he was writing an article for the Wall Street Journal on a tight deadline. When the spokesperson questioned Scheiderer’s credentials, he told them that he was “actually a freelance writer attempting to pitch an idea to the Journal’s opinion section.” “A representative from the WSJ confirmed that Scheiderer was not an employee. Although the WSJ did not run his piece, evidently he was able to have it appear on a FOX News page,” Ryker noted. “Wheaton College remains fully committed to Christian service − which we embrace as ‘service’ in our very mission statement − to biblical orthodoxy and Christ-centered education, including in matters of human sexuality, gender identity, and race relations,” Ryken said. Ryker concludes the statement by pointing to the college’s institutional commitments website for “ accurate information about our convictions.”)

January 26, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders want America to officially stop enforcing its immigration laws, that is, to let all those who come into America stay in America forever if they claim asylum, refugee, parole, etc. status. That will elect Trump.

If/when Democrats and/or RINOs try to officially make your county, your township, your municipality, and/or your school district official sanctuaries for illegals, who will lead the fight against that? I will lead the fight against that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200. Previously, in Wheaton, I successfully led fights against video gambling and pot.

Wheaton is holding a special meeting on bus regulations Monday, January 29, 2024, 7:00 PM.

I ask that the following speak out against Democrat/RINO orchestrated illegal immigration: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, c) the leaders of your county/township/ward Republican party organizations, d) your Republican congressman, state senator, and state representative, e) the Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, f) the candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct, g) conservative leaders and activists in your area, and h) religious leaders and activists in your area.

— Orland Park officially declares it is not a sanctuary city – Jeff Vorva
https://southwestregionalpublishing.com/2024/01/19/orland-park-officially-declares-it-is-not-a-sanctuary-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For years, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has been saying the village is a non-sanctuary municipality. On January 15, the board of trustees made it official. The board voted 6-0, with Joni Radaszewski absent, on an ordinance declaring that the village will not be a sanctuary city. In past meetings, Pekau said that allowing migrants into the community was unfair to the residents of the community and unfair to the migrants themselves as Orland Park is not equipped to handle them. He added that sanctuary cities go against federal law even though it’s being encouraged on the state and county level. “We are clearly not a sanctuary city,” Pekau said. “We will not aid and abet the state, the county, or the city of Chicago in violating federal law. “And it’s really unfortunate that we have to pass something like this. We shouldn’t really have to say that we need to pass an ordinance saying we’re going to follow federal law. But it seems like in this current environment, we do.” On the problems caused by migrants and illegal immigrants, Pekau paraphrased former President Ronald Reagan. “The beauty of America is that if you come here from somewhere else you can become an American,” Pekau said. “No other country takes people in, and they become Americans like America does. “But it must be done legally and it seems absolutely nuts that we have to pass an ordinance that we will follow U.S. law. Now Chicago has reached out and asked us to help them violate federal law.” The mayor said that there is $450 billion being spend nationally on “non-citizens illegally crossing our borders” and that money can be better spent on the local level.)

ABC7
— Naperville migrants: City scraps plan for residents to house new arrivals
https://abc7chicago.com/naperville-migrants-illinois-in-chicago-migrant-housing/14361376/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville is not moving forward with a plan to have residents house migrants in their homes. The city was considering putting together a list of residents willing to bring migrants into their homes. But city staff decided there are other state and federal agencies putting together lists of shelters to house migrants, so it’s not necessary for Naperville residents to pitch in. The decision came just one week from Chicago’s deadline for when migrants will start being evicted from shelters. The city said it’s continuously looking at that 60-day shelter stay policy, but no changes in the eviction date have been announced.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Naperville will not consider volunteer list for housing migrants – Alicia Fabbre
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240125/news/naperville-will-not-consider-volunteer-list-for-housing-migrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to city council members Wednesday, Naperville City Manager Doug Krieger said the city received significant feedback following a Jan. 16 city council meeting where Councilman Josh McBroom suggested the idea. At that time, city staff was directed to look into the suggestion and report back to the council. “Based on initial staff research, migrant housing lists are currently being maintained by government agencies at the federal and state level, as well as through private charities,” Krieger writes in the memo. “As a result, it has been determined that it is not necessary for further city consideration and therefore this matter will not appear on a future city council agenda.” The message will be part of a “manager’s memorandum” expected to be posted to the city’s website, city spokeswoman Linda LaCloche said. At the Jan. 16 council meeting, McBroom floated the idea of a volunteer list of residents willing to house migrants and had the support of three council members – Nate Wilson, Jennifer Bruzan-Taylor and Paul Leong – to have staff look into the suggestion and report back to the council at a later date. Though McBroom said last week he was sincere in his proposal, he said Thursday the suggestion was a “polite challenge” to those who support an open border policy. “It was a sincere challenge because the city of Chicago clearly cannot handle this crisis anymore, and they’re putting pressure on the cities,” McBroom said. “The way I see it, we’ve got one of two options. Individuals can contact their state representatives to pressure them to get the border secure. Or, if you supported this policy and you believe an open border is a good policy, then are you willing to house a migrant family? There are a lot of them who are homeless right now in the dead of winter.” McBroom’s proposal quickly drew national attention, and McBroom on Thursday appeared on a Fox News program. It also sparked a flurry of emails to council members with reactions ranging from outrage from conservatives who blasted McBroom, a Republican, for suggesting people house new arrivals to a local church inquiring how families could help. McBroom brushed off some of the reaction from fellow conservatives, saying he could “take a few arrows” and said his challenge at least got people talking. Others, however, didn’t see his actions in the same light. “I don’t appreciate Naperville becoming a national laughing stock or just being used for political points,” Councilman Ian Holzhauer said. As the city faced increased scrutiny, Mayor Scott Wehrli said he had a discussion with McBroom late last week about his proposal. “I suggested to him if he had a change of heart, he should contact the city manager and let him know,” Wehrli said. McBroom on Thursday acknowledged he contacted Krieger about the proposal and asked to have it removed from future agendas. Wilson, who initially supported the measure, also requested the same. Krieger reached out to Taylor and Leong, who also supported ending further inquiry and removing it from the agenda. According to council policy, the support of three council members is needed to add an item to the agenda. To remove an item, two of those council members must support its removal. Wehrli, who said he did not support McBroom’s initial proposal, said the city will continue to ensure the safe passage of new arrivals to the landing zone in Chicago. Residents who want to help new arrivals are encouraged to visit chicago.gov.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville City Council Member Josh McBroom said he hasn’t had any Naperville residents volunteer to house illegal aliens who have moved to the Chicagoland area. McBroom made the comments Thursday on AM 560’s Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson. “It’s weird. During the last presidential race, we had thousands of Biden signs in Naperville. We’ve got houses all over town that advertise support for this mass migration of illegals. They say ‘no human is illegal,” McBroom said. “Since I’ve proposed this, I’ve haven’t had a single person ask me, ‘Where’s the sign-up sheet. I want to sign the sign-up sheet, I’m ready to sign my house up for the signup sheet’ It’s shocking.” “These are the people that voted for this. We’ve got thousands of illegals coming into the area. And they’re homeless— in the middle of winter,” McBroom said. ”You voted for this. You sign up. Be the change. Open your house. At the Jan. 16 Naperville City Council Meeting, McBroom suggested the city create a “signup sheet” whereby residents who support illegal immigration to the Chicagoland area could volunteer to house now homeless illegal aliens to live with them. “We hear from people that we should do more,” McBroom said. “We do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes.” McBroom earned his Bachelor’s degree from Purdue University. He and his wife Emily settled in Naperville in 2001. McBroom is a Financial Advisor and owner of McBroom Financial Group in Naperville. He was elected to the Naperville city council in 2023. His current council term ends in 2027.)

https://afn.net/politics-govt/2024/01/25/reparations-resolution-lists-130-reasons-for-handing-out-14-trillion/
(COMMENT: Reacting to the resolution, GianCarlo Canaparo of the Heritage Foundation says the resolution claims slavery created “lasting harm” on black Americans. Among the poorest Americans, he says, there was little difference between struggling blacks and whites through most of the 20th century until the 1960s. Echoing a view of many others, such as black economist Thomas Sowell, Canaparo says the structure of the black family changed for the worse when President Lyndon Johnson introduced his “war on poverty” in 1964. What was supposed to end dependence on government instead created what is now known was the “welfare state” that hurt black families the most. “It is the family, staying in the family above all else,” Canaparo says, “that determines your economic, educational success in America.” Bush, 47, fits that description herself.

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— Immigration Now a Zero-Sum Game (COMMENT: Everything is a zero-sum game. Everything given to members of one group is not given to members of another group. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had fewer or no professional certifications, and/or d) who had no professional license. Virtually all of them were female and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2024/01/16/immigration-now-zero-sum-game
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sheer volumes of admissions now exceed national need, capacity, and manageability — a far cry from a rational, and limited, immigration approach designed to aggregate national purpose with mutual benefits. Instead, today’s immigration has often become a zero-sum game, the proposition that a gain for one side entails a corresponding loss for the other side…notably each and every American. Of course, it’s been evident for a long time; FAIR has been reporting regularly on the rising cost and impact of immigration. But while politicians have been able to conveniently ignore consequences and “kick the can” down the road for decades, the money is now running out, space is unavailable, and social resources are drained. The result has been a marked increase in the immediate shifting of resources and a displacement of Americans to accommodate surging migrant needs.)

ZERO HEDGE
— Cultural Replacement: Why The Immigration Crisis Is Being Deliberately Engineered – TYLER DURDEN
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cultural-replacement-why-immigration-crisis-being-deliberately-engineered
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cultural Replacement Theory “Replacement Theory” is often denigrated by the media as a racist conspiracy held by white people who are “afraid to lose power.” This is nonsensical for a number of reasons, including the fact that if “white people” were a monolith and we had all the power, then we would simply snuff out any threats to that power and lock down our borders. There would be nothing anyone could do to stop us. The truth is, there is no white monolith, there is no patriarchy and there is no such thing as systemic racism. Do some leftist activists clamor for mass migration to replace white people in the US and Europe? Absolutely. They call it “decolonization.” Is this the real purpose of mass migration? Probably not. The replacement going on is not so much about replacing white people as it is about replacing western culture. The goal, I believe, is to open the floodgates to foreign elements because most of them come from more socialist systems that have no understanding of individual freedom. In this way, the establishment can dilute the American culture of independence and use the tyranny of the majority (democracy) to erase our values and principles forever. This is why you will hear Biden and his ilk constantly pontificate on “democracy” and the “defense of democracy’ and the conservative “threat to democracy.” This is very deliberate terminology. When they say “democracy”, they are talking about the rule of the mob; the tyranny of the majority. They are talking about collectivism, socialism and ultimately authoritarianism for the “sake of the greater good.” Migrants are being used to phase out the pillars of western civilization. This is why the borders must be secured now and illegals must be kicked out of the country with haste. No martial law, no FEMA detention facilities, no amnesty, no asylum, no welfare and no subsidies. They just need to be removed and sent back to where they came from and if they return illegally they should be severely punished. In order for this to happen it would appear that southern states will have to enforce their own border security. But how to do this without federal interference? The American public will have to step in and step up to help states like Texas. The movement will have to be so overwhelming that the federal government is afraid to intervene. The shape of this secure border action will require trial and error, but as long as Texas is willing to continue arresting illegals and shipping them out of the country, all that is needed is a contingent of deputized Americans to help watch the border and catch people trying to cross. There may also be a need for people to defend border walls and fences from federal sabotage. Some will argue that this constitutes a violation, a defiance of federal authorities, and I would say yes, it is, and that’s a good thing. The Biden Administration is in dereliction of its duty to keep the country safe from foreign invasion. Doing nothing and leaving borders undefended from mass immigration is no different from refusing to defend the border from a foreign military. If the current trend is allowed to continue, the stage will be set for a host of emergencies that will be exploited to give elites the excuse to erase what constitutional protections we have left. This cannot be tolerated. It’s time to end it.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP’s Trump ‘problem’ We asked Jim Durkin, the former House Republican leader and longtime party operative, about how Trump as the nominee could affect Illinois in the General Election. “It’s not going to be good,” said Durkin, an outspoken critic of the former president. “He’s a bully, a narcissist and a pathological liar,” Durkin said, acknowledging, however, here are plenty of folks in the Illinois GOP who “aren’t concerned” about Trump’s actions, even when he was “cheerleader in chief” of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Durkin’s concern: “Trump and the MAGAs have co-opted the Republican Party enough where people who had a moderate or centrist view but identified as Republicans have left the party — and identify themselves as independent voters,” said Durkin, who was the state chairman for John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008. The new GOP has been “taken over” by the far right, which is “dictating” primaries but ultimately losing in the General Election, Durkin said, pointing to 2022 as proof. The biggest impact: Trump will be a boost for Downstate Republican candidates. The big hurt will come in the northern suburbs, said Durkin. “It’s going to be a problem to have your name on the ballot with the former president in the same column.” The Illinois Republican Party is staying “neutral” for the primary and will get behind whoever is at the top of the ticket, party chair Don Tracy told Playbook. – SHIA KAPOS

If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, they force you to retire as soon as you become eligible unless you made Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year. I became eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45. They succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I would have been eligible for regular retirement 6 years later, in 2003 when I was 55.)

In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728/year in June of 1971 and $66,942/year in September of 1972. I had bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration is changing its strategy on managing the migrant crisis. – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Behind closed doors: The mayor met privately with small groups of aldermen Friday — keeping groups small avoids the pesky open meeting rules — to brief them on how the city will no longer set up new shelter space because the costs are too high. That means it won’t build industrial tents for migrants, either. Here’s a copy of the briefing report obtained by Playbook. New strategy: The city will work with churches and private individuals to find beds for asylum seekers. And as individuals leave any of the current shelters, beds will open for the next wave of migrants. And while the cold snap continues, the Harold Washington Library will serve as a warming center for some asylum seekers as well as for the already unhoused. The goal: Get asylum seekers into regular housing as soon as possible or send them back to the landing area, which is a shelter of sorts until beds open up in the current shelters. Getting folks out of shelters and into housing will be easier now that the state has staffed up case managers in nearly all of the city’s 28 shelters, the aldermen were told.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Health and mental effects of cannabis use are described here by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton on first day of legal marijuana. Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton is likely proud as well. In 2020, instead of using Illinois’ first day of legalization to warn of marijuana’s undisputed dangers, she celebrated the event as if it were the end of prohibition of apple pie. Her picture appeared on countless national stories from CNN to FOX, all smiles. “Illinois lieutenant governor beats long lines to become one of the first to legally buy weed in the state,” said the CNN headline.)

I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. But most significantly, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights after school and Saturdays during my junior and senior years 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between.)

— Despite ‘symbolic’ objections, lawmakers clear path for assault weapon registration rules – Peter Hancock (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that immediately after the next big mass shooting in Illinois, Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk high-profile non-registrants in their counties who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/illinois-lawmakers-clear-path-assault-weapon-18615276.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the concerns raised during the discussions focused on how ISP planned to collect and store information about the items people registered, and what the agency would do with that information if the law eventually is overturned as unconstitutional. So far, the law has survived legal challenges in both state and federal courts, but the National Association for Gun Rights, which is the major plaintiff in one of the federal lawsuits, has said it plans to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court within the next several weeks. Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, who also co-chairs the committee, said Tuesday he was frustrated by the short timeframe used to adopt the new rules and by the way some issues were handled. He then offered a motion to prohibit ISP from adopting the rules, arguing that the rules do not meet a requirement in state statute that they be “simple and clear” so people and groups affected by them can understand them. That motion failed because it needed eight votes on the 12-member committee but only received six.)

January 18, 2024

It is illegal to falsely claim asylum, refugee, or parole status. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly encourage citizens of foreign countries to do that. Unless and until the voters where you live officially vote to make where you live a sanctuary, the leaders where you live should do nothing to promote illegal immigration. They should fight illegal immigration.

ABC7
— Chicago schools ask for more resources for 5K newly enrolled migrants (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will ever-increasingly flood your school district with illegals.)
https://abc7chicago.com/migrants-in-chicago-public-schools-teachers-union-2024-school-year/14334527/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXzjj04nWxI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands of migrant students are now enrolled in Chicago Public Schools, and teachers say they need more resources to help deal with the new students. Cameron Elementary School in Humboldt Park has enrolled close to 100 migrant students this year, on top of dozens who arrived last school year. “It is the most challenging thing I have ever done in my life, and I’ve been doing this in this neighborhood for 11 years,” said Gabriel Piaz, bilingual language coordinator. “I’ve never experienced anything like it.” Piaz said schools need more resources to deal with the 5,000 migrant students who are now enrolled in CPS. He joined Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates and the American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten for a roundtable at Cameron to ask for more help. “We have needs and these needs will not be met alone by the district or the city,” Davis Gates said. The CTU is asking for more bilingual teachers, 100 percent of tuition costs for current teacher to get their bilingual certificates and a migrant coordinator in each school that enrolls new arrivals. “We need people in the building whose sole purpose is working with newcomer families and making sure they get on their feet,” Piaz said. The district said it’s already spent millions of dollars for increased staffing and services. Paying for more resources will be a huge challenge and the city is tapped out. Even with more migrants arriving in the dead of winter, the Johnson administration said it cannot afford to open new shelters at this time. “What the city is telling you, the city council in particular is we don’t got it,” said Davis Gates. While Weingarten said she will continue to push the White House for more help, she suggested the city and state work together to do the same. “When mayors and governors work together on this end and go to Washington together that actually is really helpful,” she said. Davis Gates denied there is any friction between the mayor and Governor JB Pritzker. “The last thing anyone needs in this moment is a fight,” she said. The teachers union said if schools to not get additional resources for migrant students, CTU’s requests will be part of negotiations when the union’s contract is up in June.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

THE HILL
— Harris says ‘no denying’ America’s history of racism – NICK ROBERTSON (COMMEMT: If you are Republican, White, male, and/or Protestant, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that Democrats and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that you have benefitted from discrimination against minorities, women, and non-Protestants, and therefore the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI. My critics/opponents have always stressed that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I am Republican, White, male, and Protestant, I my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors have always lived only in northeast Illinois, that they were never in any position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never discriminated against anyone. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. What if AA had only been for those whose parents did not have college degrees?)

What Now? – Daniel Bergner (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO Jewish superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my Democrat GAO Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office, which is exactly what they did.)

— How to Protect Millions of Workers Without a Union – Jeff Seal, Nick Libbey and Chris Libbey (COMMENT: GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee. Further, if GAO had been unionized in 1980, I doubt that my Democrat GAO superiors would have been able a) to force me to suffer a $22, 996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS, b) to give me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) to keep me off audits of IRS, d) to delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, e) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— How To Maximize Your Odds Of Ivy League Admission Without Legacy Status – Christopher Rim (COMMENT: If you do not have a degree from an Ivy League University, why is that? What discouraged Ivy League universities like the University of Chicago and Northwestern from accepting you? For me, it was my ACT score being only 24, my only just barely making it into the upper 20% of my class, my parents not being wealthy, my parents never having attended college, my father being only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attending high school, my being conservative, my being Republican, my being White, my being male, my being Protestant, my being 100% German American, my ancestors having been in America since 1844, and my having lived in Crete since 1948.)

But far too many of those candidates who l did not support in primaries and who then lost general elections have not only blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their losses, they have punished me severely. I should write a book about them.)
