— Democrats say “Student loan debt is reinforcing economic inequalities.” Where did the money come from to pay for your colleges expenses? For me, the money came from what I earned a) washing dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, b) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights in 1966, c) delivering mail in Park Forest 1966-1969, d) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights 1970-1972, e) collecting delinquent taxes in Chicago, Harvey, and Joliet 1971-1980, and f) auditing federal agencies 1980-1997. The aforesaid money enabled me to pay for a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Yes, I acknowledge that college expenses were much lower back then.

— Biden seeks 15% more for IRS, on top of current $80 billion boost – Haris Alic (COMMENT: I worked for IRS 1971-1980. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to promote hatred against me. I should write a book about that. IRS offered me a job in 1971 because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I accepted IRS’s job offer because I was unemployed because Firestone Stores had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I needed income to help support my mother and my brother because my father had died suddenly in late 1969. According to my critics/opponents, I took the job because I had almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority from working only part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969 and because my unused sick leave was reinstated.)

— Trump says he would have fought Watergate and that quitting was Nixon’s ‘biggest regret’ – Paul Bedard (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. My Democrat Chicago office IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates a) hated Nixon and b) took their hatred against Nixon out on me. I was one of the extremely few IRS employees who were Republican. Further, I was conservative, White, male, draft-avoider, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844. They were furious that I was taking graduate business courses at Loyola and that I had a) bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. It is called a) political affiliation discrimination, b) reverse discrimination, c) religious discrimination, d) national origin discrimination, and e) envy. All my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates painted themselves as being financially distressed because they were discriminated against by Republicans. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Vehicles And Voting: What Your Car Might Say About How You’ll Vote – Bill Howard (COMMENT: The vehicles that you own/have owned say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself. I have only owned American nameplate vehicles. Some of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blast me for not doing enough “original work.” I should do the research and publish all the vehicles that the candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct own and have owned. I currently own eight vehicles: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2016 Ford Mustang, 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT, 2019 Ford Escape Titanium, and 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier. I have owned a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, 1969 Dodge Charger SE, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, 1978 Chevrolet Chevette, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier, and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS.)
https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/what-your-car-might-say-about-how-you-vote/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to data collected by market research firm Strategic Vision, there is a relationship between political leanings and car buying habits. For example, many Honda and Subaru drivers are more likely to lean Democratic and therefore vote for former Vice President Joe Biden. On the other hand, full-size pickup drivers lean heavily Republican and might be more likely to favor President Donald Trump. . .“Democrats outnumber Republicans in the sedan segment and they are more likely to drive hybrids or EVs,” Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision, told Forbes Wheels. “Republicans lead in the trucks, luxury, sporty and family vehicle categories.” There is near-parity in smaller sub-segments of the market such as midsize mainstream and luxury sedans as well as smaller crossovers, Edwards said. . .Brands also convey political leanings. “Audi, BMW and Volvo are Democratic, while Cadillac, Land Rover, Lexus and Lincoln are heavily Republican,” Edwards said. Mercedes-Benz buyers are more likely to be Republican, however, a significant minority are Democrats, and Chrysler, Genesis, Jeep and Kia are more balanced between political preference, he said. Democrats also are less likely to be new-vehicle buyers because they skew younger and are more likely to get a used car, according to Edwards. They also are open to foregoing car ownership in favor of public transportation or ride sharing, and if they do own their own vehicles, it’s for a longer period of time, he said. “Republicans are more likely to own a vehicle for only three to six years,” Edwards said. The average car on the road is nearly 12 years old, according to industry research firm IHS Markit.)

— American universities are pursuing fairness the wrong way. Drop legacy admissions—not standardized exams. – Editorial (COMMENT: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. UIC accepted me in 1966 a) because I had taken college preparatory courses while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, b) because I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and c) because my ACT score was 24. UIC accepted me notwithstanding the fact that I had not demonstrated any leadership potential. I had washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and seniors years and the summer in between to earn money to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to get to/from jobs and classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

— Ever-increasingly, since the Civil War, Democrats blame Republicans for all the problems that Blacks have had, are having, and will have. Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) paint themselves as having been the Union Army in the Civil War and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederate Army in the Civil War. Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint the KKK as being a Republican organization and Jim Crow laws as being Republican laws. I should write a book about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had doing that. I would focus on the successes and failures that they had turning my Black GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. To turn Blacks against me, they stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors were Republicans who lived in northeast Illinois.

— Southern Illinois University professor demands Black staff get special paid time off to deal with ‘fatigue,’ ‘trauma’ from systemic racism. Critical race theorist Angel Jones says faculty should get special bereavement leave, counseling services. – Hannah Grossman
https://www.foxnews.com/media/professor-demands-black-people-special-paid-time-off-deal-fatigue-trauma-systemic-racism
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A critical race theorist and professor demanded that Black people should get special bereavement leave and counseling services in order to deal with issues relating to systemic racism. Angel Jones is a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville whose work is grounded in critical race theory and critical race feminism. CRT is an ideology and lens that holds America’s institutions are systemically racist and views individuals in an oppressor vs. oppressed narrative. Critical race theory postulates that policies that privilege oppressed people should be implemented in order to achieve equity and make up for historical wrongs. Jones argued that Black faculty should be granted special paid time off and mental health therapy to deal with events of alleged police brutality in an article published in Times Higher Education on Feb. 23. Jones did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she supported bereavement leave for all minorities in oppressed categories. “I am a proud educator who loves what I do. But before that, I am a Black woman,” she wrote. “A Black woman who is expected to return to ‘business as usual’ on Monday after seeing a member of my community murdered on Friday. Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways. Where’s our Black bereavement leave?” She called campus-wide statements to students in the aftermath of racial events in the news as “obligatory” and “performative,” adding it didn’t go far enough to address Black faculty’s “trauma,” which they need to “process.” “Where are our counseling services? Where is our grace for missed meetings and deadlines while we mourn? Yes, we have jobs to do and students to support, but we also have trauma to process.” In order to deal with “racial battle fatigue,” the professor said funding should be allocated to the mental health of Black staff. Racial battle fatigue refers to the “psychological and physiological consequences of experiencing racism.” Jones said the proclaimed psychological phenomenon “has been well documented and can have ‘deadly’ symptoms, including ‘suicidal thoughts.’” Racial battle fatigue, the professor said, can also cause “elevated heart rate, tension headaches and stomach ulcers.” “We experience these symptoms on a regular basis as a result of our first-hand racial trauma,” she said. “Free counseling services, by culturally competent counselors familiar with identifying and addressing [racial battle fatigue], should be available at all times.” In addition to counseling, Jones demanded “Black bereavement leave” in order to have the “space and time to grieve.” Bereavement on the basis of race requires a day off, an ability to work from home, a deadline extension and to have their workload reassigned. Including these benefits will help “for the retention of Black faculty and staff.” “Don’t assume you know what they want or need just because you read this article. Anti-Blackness is intentional, so your efforts to combat it must also be,” she said.)

— Ever-increasingly, since the Civil War, Democrats blame Republicans for all the problems that Blacks have had, are having, and will have. Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) paint themselves as having been the Union Army in the Civil War and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederate Army in the Civil War. Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint the KKK as being a Republican organization and Jim Crow laws as being Republican laws. I should write a book about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had doing that. I would focus on the successes and failures that they had turning my Black GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. To turn Blacks against me, they stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors were Republicans who lived in northeast Illinois.

I would focus on Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.
https://www.businessinsider.com/florida-blogger-registration-bill-violates-first-amendment-aclu-2023-3
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If passed, the law would also mandate that these bloggers submit monthly reports about their work, outlining how much payment they received, and who paid them. When asked about the bill, Brodeur told the website Florida Politics he thinks “paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk.” It’s unclear if DeSantis personally supports Brodeur’s proposed law. In a message to Insider on Friday, a spokesman for DeSantis said the governor’s communications office is “reviewing the bill.” “As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature,” the spokesman told Insider.)

That between January 1, 2016 and January 9, 2022, I put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening. That ever since I recovered enough from my January 10, 2022 brain bleed, I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning.)

— 10 Signs People Believe In You and Want You to Succeed – ROBIN DREEKE (COMMENT: Who wanted you to succeed? Who wanted you to fail? I should write two books. One book about those who wanted me to succeed and one book about those who wanted me to fail. Those who wanted me to succeed include a) the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, who overcame tremendous opposition from my Democrat superiors and finally got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who promoted me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987. They include the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him in 1975. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, assigned me to supervise all their problematic employees, turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat IRS superiors who never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Those who wanted me to fail include those who ran Money Magazine in 1978 who published a nasty 4-page article about me in their February 1978 edition that foisted negative government employee stenotypes on me and painted my education deductions as being improper. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat Post Office superiors who forced me to resign in 1969 and previously disallowed my two sick leave requests. Those who wanted me to fail disapproved of my being conservative, Republican, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and/or someone whose ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— Truth, Neutrality, and Conflict of Interest – Judith Lichtenberg (COMMENT: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Reporters and journalists should be required to fully disclose all the sources and amounts of all their income at least once a year. I have never been paid for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that is, I have never been paid for what I do to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and to send them out. All the mainstream news outlets are anti-religious, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-capitalist, if not anti-American. Many, if not most, if not virtually all are anti-heterosexual, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Many, if not most, if not virtually all vehemently reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Many, if not most, if not virtually all promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Many, if not most, if not virtually all overtly act as arms of the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Therefore, the more income that you get from the mainstream media, a) the more that you have to do to push the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green party platforms, b) the more that you have to do elect and to reelect Democrat candidates, and c) the more that you have to do to defeat Republican candidates.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Education Association (IEA) is supporting a bill in the Illinois Senate to reduce the retirement age for teachers as a way to keep them from leaving the profession. The General Assembly passed a measure a decade ago requiring teachers who were hired after 2011 to work until age 67 before they can collect full retirement benefits. IEA President Kathi Griffin says the age requirement forces teachers to either find another career or leave the state.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— DeSantis made the Navy rank of Lieutenant Commander when he was 28 in 2006. The equivalent civilian GS grade is 12. I made GS-12 in 1974 (currently $92,279/year) when I was a 25-year-old IRS Revenue Officer. I made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986 when I was a 38-year-old GAO Analyst. The equivalent Navy rank is Commander. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are failures if they do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 (currently $129,671/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $183,500/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. How soon, if not already, will DeSantis’ critics/opponents paint his military career as being a failure, and therefore, that he is a failure? Since 1973 when I turned 25 years old, because I failed to make GS-13, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a failure. Further, according to them, IRS should not have promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, or to GS-12 in 1974 and GAO should not have promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. – Dave Diersen

RIVERSIDE BROOKFIELD LANDMARK
— Democrats say that Lyons Township High School District 204 school board candidate Tim Vlcek acknowledges that he attended an Awake Illinois candidate training session in January, but that he says that he is not affiliated with Awake Illinois. I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012 and as a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007. I should write a book about those who have blamed TAPROOT and ICRC the most for Republican defeats in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who succeeded in a) ending my TAPROOT chairmanship and destroying TAPROOT and b) ending my ICRC Steering Committee service and destroying ICRC. I would focus on those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that TAPROOT and ICRC caused Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose.

I am White. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. But to make it so that the percentage of those who pass the examinations on their first attempt is proportional base on race, will points be given and/or taken away from examination takers to make that happen based on race? For example, if more Asian Americans disproportionally pass the examinations on their first attempt, will points be taken away from them?)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/02/the_names_of_some_of_the_51_anticonservative_american_businesses_may_surprise_you.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ally Financial, Amalgamated Bank, Bank of America, Berkshire Bank, BMO Harris, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Eastern Bank, Fifth Third Bank, First Republic Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, PNC, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, TD Bank, Bancorp, Trillium Asset Management, Truist, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. . .When it comes to transportation, while the leftist airlines—Alaska, American, Southwest, United, and XPO Logistics—cannot refuse to do business based on ideological or religious considerations (the Civil Rights Act prevents that), they are big actors behind the scenes, pushing legislation advancing leftist policies. Thus, American Airlines actively fought against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, while Southwest tries to shut down state laws enhancing election integrity. The major retail giants are also pushing leftism. We’ve seen it with Target, which has been in the forefront of Gay Pride for decades, but it may surprise you to learn that Walmart and Home Depot are also using their economic power to push leftist policies. “For example, 1792 Exchange notes Home Depot ‘advertised flyers to its employees about confronting their ‘white privilege, Christian privilege, heterosexual privilege, able-bodied privilege,’ etc.’” The leftist madness continues with food and beverage companies. We already knew about Ben & Jerry’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and Kellogg’s (with a history of weird progressivism spanning more than 100 years), but you probably didn’t know that McDonald’s and JM Smucker were also on the leftist bandwagon. Again, they sell their products to everyone but use their profits to advance leftist political goals. Finally, we all know about the true biggies: The social media companies, Disney, Hollywood, Google (which was apparently developed with CIA funding). We’re seemingly surrounded.)

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/michael-steele-trump-grifters_n_63fdb512e4b08b1402dfba1c
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee, has a blunt message for anyone hoping to see improvements within the party in the age of Donald Trump and his “MAGA grifters.” “If you’re waiting for it to get better, it’s not going to happen,” he said while filling in as host of MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes.” “The problem is that Trump’s movement within the party is rotten to the core,” he said. He pointed to the lengths people on the right have gone to court Trump loyalists, such as a new admission from Fox News that the network allowed people it knew to be dangerous liars on the air in order to continue to keep Trump supporters tuned in. He noted that the Trump wing of the party has embraced Jan. 6 rioters as well as characters such as “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, who last week went on a racist tirade urging white people to “get the hell away from Black people,” and Kyle Rittenhouse, the shooter acquitted of murder charges after he killed two unarmed racial justice protesters in 2020. “A rational Republican party would not prop these folks up as heroes,” he said. “But the MAGA Republicans have sold their souls to Trump’s brand of culture-war politics ― and for the RNC, guys like Scott Adams are just another way to fundraise off of grift and grievance.” He urged the party to throw out the “MAGA grifters,” but didn’t seem optimistic that it would happen.)

DAILY MAIL
— Democrats say that a Trump supporter said “They told me anyone wearing Trump has to go now” and that DeSantis book signing event in Florida turned ugly when security guard is ordered to boot Trump supporters and that tension between Republican rivals escalates. I should write a book about those who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being a Trump supporter. I would focus on those who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst. I would focus on those who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019. I would focus on those who stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, draft-avoider, gun-owner, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and our ancestor have been in American for a long time.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly push pot.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-cannabis-sales-dip-from-monthly-record/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marijuana sales come with a social risk. A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found instances in which children ingest cannabis are up 1,375%, which was blamed on edibles that look like candy and other treats to toddlers. Illinoisans pay the second-highest taxes in the nation to buy recreational marijuana, which pushes consumers to unregulated sellers. Illinois was recently rated the nation’s 8th-most sinful state, and state lawmakers like to impose sin taxes. But there would be less need to do so and more revenue available for public services were state lawmakers committed to reforming pension spending, which has increased by 584% since 2000. For reference, total spending has grown by 21% in that time. Instead of inventing new ways to tax Illinoisans and hoping for more sinful behaviors, lawmakers should look to the other side of the budget: spending. Revenue shortages will always be an issue when spending increases at an irresponsible and unsustainable rate.)

What demographics a) do you share with both Trump and DeSantis, b) do you share with Trump only, c) do you share with DeSantis only, and d) do you share with neither Trump nor DeSantis? Trump and DeSantis and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, have master’s degrees, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Trump and I are about the same age, German American, Protestant, and draft avoiders. While Trump and DeSantis have degrees from Ivy League universities, I do not. While Trump and DeSantis have children, I have none. Trump has no professional certifications or licenses and DeSantis is an attorney. I have six professional certifications (CPA and Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant) and a professional license (CPA). While Trump and DeSantis have not been union members, I was one for almost 12 years. While Trump and DeSantis have been federal elected officials, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. DeSantis was a Congressman. GAO works for Congress, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years.

HUFFINGTON POST
— My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having evil motives and bad judgment. Those who are hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an operative/dupe for Trump. Because of that, they did everything that they could a) to stop me from getting press credentials to cover the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) to stop me from speaking with high-profile Republicans at that event, and c) to stop me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at that event.

GAO
— Tax Gap: Modest Reductions in the Gap Could Yield Large Fiscal Benefits (COMMENT: I worked for GAO for 3 years on IRS’s efforts to reduce the tax gap.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106448
(FROM THE POSTING: According to IRS estimates, taxpayers—people and businesses—collectively pay about 85% of the total taxes they owe. The difference between what taxpayers owe and what they pay on time is known as the tax gap, which IRS estimated to be $496 billion per year for tax years 2014-2016. In this snapshot, we identify factors—such as the complexity of tax laws—that contribute to the gap. We also offer strategies to reduce it. For instance, IRS should implement a way to digitize tax returns so that its tax enforcement programs can better identify noncompliant taxpayers, such as those who underreport income. Tax law enforcement is on our High-Risk List.)

I regret not having gotten restraining orders against the defendants and against their attorneys in those lawsuits. I should write a book about those lawsuits.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

I should write a book about the success that they have had in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/02/27/equity-is-not-equality-its-revenge-n2619980
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

— Burned Out, More Americans Are Turning to Part-Time Jobs. The number of people working part time rose by 1.2 million in December and January—most were people who chose it. ‘25 hours is the new 35.’ – Lauren Weber (COMMENT: My working part-time pumping gasoline for the Chicago Heights Firestone Store 1971-1972 while I worked full-time for IRS in downtown Chicago and then Harvey enabled me a) to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972, and c) to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972.)

During the 1980s, our only debt was our mortgage debt. We spent money like only one of us had a paycheck. We saved as much as we could. We drove a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette and a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. That enabled us to have 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/02/25/desantis-encroaches-further-on-trumps-turf-00084446
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The attendees included a number of prominent past supporters of Trump, our Alex Isenstadt reports this morning. Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.” The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen. MIKE LEE and 2022 Nevada Senate candidate ADAM LAXALT, a longtime DeSantis friend.” Lee was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to the Jan. 6 committee report.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2023/02/25/charlie-kirk-event-in-crystal-lake-sparks-protest-shouting-match/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kirk’s address was organized by the McHenry County GOPac, a local conservative political action committee. The event was titled “EXPOSING Radicals’ War on Kids” and was advertised as a summit aimed at “rescuing children from government-run schools that are ruining America’s future. Karen Tirio, the committee’s chair, said earlier in the week that school districts play a key role both in and out of the classroom and are “failing us.” She said she didn’t feel the event was partisan and hoped those attending walk away with tools to help them engage with the system. Tirio also sits on the elected McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees. Among a list of speakers, its biggest draw was Kirk, who grew up in Prospect Heights and founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which seeks to engage young conservatives on college campuses.)

— Biden’s age of 82 at re-election would exceed average male life expectancy. (COMMENT: How old are you? I am 74 years old. What is your life expectancy? According to Social Security, my life expectancy is only 12 years, that is, when I am 86 years old, that is, in 2035. By then, I will have been a federal retiree for 38 years. I should write a book those who hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat GAO superiors were justified when they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and when they took all the other adverse actions against me that they did. I would focus on those who have known the most about me and my federal career for the longest time. They would include a) Republican U.S. Senators in Illinois, b) Republican U.S. Representatives in northeast Illinois, c) their staff members, d) their campaign managers, and e) candidates for the aforesaid offices. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for Roskam’s defeat in 2018. Putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning reduces my life expectancy a) because it motivates my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes to take adverse actions against me, b) because it causes me lots of stress, c) because it reduces the sleep that I get, and d) because it reduces the exercise that I get.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The demographic profile of Stanford University’s class of 2026 is out, with 1,736 matriculated students in the freshman class of one of the world’s most prestigious universities. But as some perceptive critics were quick to notice, one key demographic is disproportionately underrepresented: While whites make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s adolescent population, per 2019 Office of Population Affairs numbers, they were only 22 percent of Stanford’s class of 2026.)

It does not look good for me because of those who could have and should have come to my defense, but did not come to my defense when the aforesaid conservative-haters ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004 and when the aforesaid conservative-haters a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. Nevertheless, I hope that the following would come to my defense: a) those Republicans who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect to offices in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois since 2000; b) the MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, and especially my representative on the IRP State Central Committee; c) conservative activists, conservative leaders, and conservative religious leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois; and d) those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

But sadly, not any more. Yes, my health is not as good now, I have less energy, and I have less motivation, but more than that, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates who lose primary elections and/or who lose general elections and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for candidate defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for candidate defeats. They do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

ANNUITY EXPERT ADVICE
— Life Expectancy Calculator (COMMENT: How old are you? I am 74 years old. What is your life expectancy? According to this, my life expectancy is only 8 years, that is, when I am 82 years old, that is, in 2031. Putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning reduces my life expectancy a) because it motivates my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes to take adverse actions against me, b) because it causes me lots of stress, c) because it reduces the sleep that I get, and d) because it reduces the exercise that I get.)

But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today.

— Nonpartisanism (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois who have railed the most since 2000 against Republican partisanism. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. They all are anti-male, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Protestant, and/or anti-German American. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me including ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence parades and fireworks 2005-2019. I would focus on those who share my demographics, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn me to curry favor with those who hate those who share our demographics.)

— COMMENT: According to the Illinois Freedom Caucus, “Jim Durkin’s strategy of offering voters a ‘Democrat Lite’ agenda has been a colossal failure. Our party needs bold leadership if we ever hope to get out of the super minority.” My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO.

They paint us as being selfish rich DINKs, that is, Dual Income No Kids. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if we had children, had adopted, or had become foster parents, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They have blamed a) what I have done as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, b) the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I have sent out since 2000, c) what I did as the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, d) what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) what I did as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) what I did as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, f) what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and g) what I did as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. They have blamed me for losses suffered by Jim Ryan, Andy Mckenna Jr., Judy Barr Topinka, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford, Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam, Jeanne Ives, Babette Holder, Greg Hart, and many other Republican candidates. What do you say about the aforesaid? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE MTRO BY-LAWS: Section 2. Non-Partisan Elections. The MTRO may endorse candidates in non-partisan elections. The endorsement of a candidate by the MTRO shall require two-thirds (66%) of ballots cast for that race at a duly noticed meeting. All voting members are entitled to vote in all races, regardless of district boundaries. The option of “No Endorsement” shall always be placed on the ballot for each proposed endorsement and shall be counted in the total number of ballots cast. Voting shall be conducted by secret ballot. Candidates for endorsement shall be voted upon individually. An announcement that endorsement(s) will be voted upon must be given within the meeting notice prior to any meeting at which endorsement(s) will be proposed. SEE: https://miltongop.org/about/by-laws )
