CITIES 92.9
— Congress focuses on work requirements for federal welfare benefits with Illinois hearing – Kevin Bessler (COMMEMT: What did you do to avoid poverty? I focused on education, professional certifications, and a professional license. Even though virtually no one saw me as being “college material,” I nevertheless took college preparatory courses in high school, I got and ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, earned a bachelor’s degree in business, earned an MBA, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, earned four more professional certifications, and earned a master’s degree in finance. Given the extremely low opinion that my critics/opponents have of intelligence, ability, and judgment, one could argue that because I did the aforesaid, anyone could do the aforesaid.)
https://www.cities929.com/2024/04/09/congress-focuses-on-work-requirements-for-federal-benefits-with-illinois-hearing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Congressional hearing held in Chicago Tuesday explored ways to lift people out of poverty with employment being the main theme. The U.S. House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Work and Welfare held a field hearing Tuesday in Chicago to examine ways to help people get out of poverty through employment. The hearing was called the “Dignity of Work: Lifting Americans Out of Poverty.” “No amount of handouts or government assistance, no matter how well intentioned, can substitute for the intangible benefits and dignity that work brings to individuals and their families,” said Illinois U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood, R-Peoria, the chairman of the committee. Matt Paprocki, president of the Illinois Policy Institute, discussed strategies for reducing poverty that Congress could implement to uplift impoverished individuals, including instituting work requirements with welfare benefits. “Institute work requirements similar to the successful bipartisan reform that was passed in 1996 which lifted millions of people out of poverty,” said Paprocki. Paprocki said the federal government should end the benefits cliff because the system leaves people with impossible choices like providing for their family at a job or reducing work hours and receiving greater benefits from government assistance.)

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— What woke Public Sector Bureaucrats Allow on Public Transit
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/04/10/message-of-the-day-a-bus/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pace bus seen in Naperville. Ives wrote the following to accompany the photo. I guess a White House Proclamation wasn’t enough visibility. This bus was seen in Naperville. PACE Suburban Bus is a public system serving suburban Chicago communities. It is heavily supported by taxpayers and less so fare-riders, so how they spend their money is important to everyone. It is unclear at this time if taxpayers paid for the very expensive wrapping on the bus or if they let the sexual identity-obsessed radicals pay for it as advertising. Either way, this messaging is selling sex and shouldn’t be allowed.)

— Feds join ranks of employers with generous IVF benefits – Michelle Andrews (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly use IVF to promote more hatred against Republicans. I should write a book about how my Democrat and RINO GAO superiors used IVF against me big time. They viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a DINK and as being a disgusting religious, conservative, Republican, and American hypocrite because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF and because we did not adopt or become foster parents. They viciously hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about my and my wife’s efforts to have children. In my defense there were serious problems with my sperm and with my wife’s eggs. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that full-well. In my book, I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors who had the most children, who complained the most about the cost of raising children, and/or who had adopted. I would focus on those whose spouses had little or no income.)

(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for all their problems, for all your problems, for all my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. According to them, I have caused all of my own problems. I admit that I should have tried harder to get better grades in grade school, high school, and college. I admit that I should have tried harder to get a better ACT score. I admit that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. I admit that I should have majored in accounting instead of management. I admit that I should have earned the master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance that I did much sooner. I admit that I should have tried harder to get better scores on the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations and passed those examinations much sooner. I admit that I should have qualified myself to be a licensed CPA much sooner. I admit that I spent too much money on new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29. I admit that I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I admit that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I admit that I have always promoted conservative principles. I admit that I have always promoted the Republican Party platform. I admit that I have never tried to hide the fact a) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, b) that I am 100% German American, c) that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, d) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and e) that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978. I admit that I suggested myself to Money Magazine to be the subject of one of its “One Person’s Finances” articles in 1977.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What should the new Illinois Republican Party platform do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

The new Illinois Republican Party platform should:

— Promote personal responsibility and oppose the promotion of dependency on government and charity,
— Promote traditional marriage and family and oppose the promotion of LGBTQ,
— Promote right to life and oppose the promotion of abortion,
— Promote legal immigration and oppose the promotion of illegal immigration,
— Promote the avoidance of vice and oppose the promotion of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
— Promote Second Amendment rights and oppose diminishment of those rights, and
— Promote equal opportunity and oppose race and gender based preference giving.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Wrong reasons to get involved in Republican politics – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

Wrong reasons to get involved in Republican politics are to get the Republican Party to:

— Dump its personal responsibility plank and instead promote dependency on government and charity,
— Dump its traditional marriage and family plank and instead promote LGBTQ,
— Dump its right to life plank and instead promote abortion,
— Dump its immigration plank and instead promote mass/illegal immigration,
— Dump its illegal drugs plank and instead promote booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
— Dump its Second Amendment plank and instead promote gun control,
— Dump its equal opportunity plank and instead promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination,
— Get more preference for themselves and for those who share their demographics,
— Make money, and/or
— Get power to reward and destroy people, organizations, companies, etc.

Based on what I have seen as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, far too many in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have been and are involved in Republican politics for the aforesaid wrong reasons.

I should write a book about them.

I would focus on those who have done the most to make the Republican Party the “Democrat Lite” Party.

I would focus on those who proudly paint themselves as being RINOs, that is, as being anti-conservative and anti-Republican.

I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

I would focus on those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

I would focus on those who have done the most to drive out of the Republican Party those who share my demographics.

I would focus on those who have demonstrated the most hatred against Trump.

I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/30/meet-bushra-amiwala-one-of-the-first-gen-z-women-to-hold-public-office-in-the-us.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bushra Amiwala lost her first race for political office when she was 20 years old. Six months later, she ran again and won, becoming one of the first Gen Z elected officials in the U.S. — all while being a full-time college student. When Amiwala, then 21, was elected to the Skokie School District Board of Education in Skokie, Illinois in 2019, she also became one of the youngest Muslim elected officials in the U.S. Her first race, which she lost in 2018, was to become a Cook County commissioner, a part of the local legislative body for the county that includes Chicago. Amiwala, who grew up and attended school in Skokie, thought a local school board might be a better fit for her interests and experience after losing her first race. But she didn’t see working in local politics as a calling, or the start of a long career in government that could lead her to the White House – two reasons, Amiwala says, why people often assume she got involved in politics at such a young age. Amiwala studied business at DePaul University and planned to work for a large tech or financial firm as soon as she graduated. Instead, Amiwala viewed serving in public office as a meaningful way to spend her free time and an opportunity to peek behind the curtain of American politics. As a first-generation child of Pakistani immigrants, Amiwala says she’s always had a vested interest in supporting underrepresented communities. That passion intensified during the 2016 presidential election when hate crimes against Muslims spiked.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Meet the typical Swiftie: A white suburban millennial woman who may have spent $1,300 to go to the Eras Tour. Swifties skew female, Democratic, millennial, and likely live in the suburbs. – Juliana Kaplan
https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-swifties-white-millennial-suburban-democrat-50k-eras-tour-2023-11
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Swifties lean female and white, make under $50,000, and are suburban millennials. Just under three-quarters of self-identifying avid Swift fans are white, while 13% are Black and 9% are Asian, according to Morning Consult’s survey. Additionally, while Swift fans skew female, 48% of those Swift fans are male. Similarly, avid Swift fans are concentrated in the suburbs, with 55% living in suburban communities, and a fairly even split among urban and rural areas; 26% are city dwellers, while 21% are rural. And, in line with Swift’s own political proclamations, 55% of avid Swift fans are Democrats. The remainder of the fans are equally split among identifying as Republicans and independents. What’s more, even as many Swift fans are spending thousands on the Eras Tour, most are not high-earners. Just about half of Swift fans make under $50,000, while 25% make between $50,000 and $100,000, and the other quarter make $100,000 or more. That’s a fairly stark figure when compared to the $1,300 that Swifties spend on average to attend the Eras Tour, per research company QuestionPro. However, while some Swifties that Business Insider previously spoke to said they were spending several thousand dollars to attend the Eras Tour, some were able to keep their costs in the hundreds. Swifties also lean millennial, with that generation making up 45% of self-proclaimed avid fans. Additionally, 23% of those fans are baby boomers, and 21% are Gen X. Meanwhile, just 11% of that fan group are Gen Z. However, Briggs noted that the survey only took the pulse of Americans 18 or older — meaning that the younger Gen Z contingent is not necessarily reflected. “Millennials are in their peak spending years in a lot of ways,” Toplin said. “They’re in the workforce. They own homes, they’re earning money, they have income to spend.” And Briggs noted that TikTok has been a big driver of the culture of the Eras Tour, from friendship bracelets to showing off outfits. That may mean that Swift has cultivated more of a Gen Z fanbase since the time of the survey. “​​It’s a perfect storm of cultural happenings to keep the conversation going,” Briggs said. “I think Gen Z, if we ran this survey again right now, it would be definitely a higher share.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump is the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.  If you are a Republican and not a RINO, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, or Independent plant and if you are not involved in Republican politics to get more preference for yourself and/or for those who share your demographics, please consider being a delegate to the Illinois Republican Party State Convention at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville May 24 and 25 – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

I have been a delegate to all the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Conventions since 2000. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee at the 2008 convention and I will serve again on that committee this year representing the 3rd Congressional District.

Illinois counties are allowed one delegate for every 500 Republican ballots cast in the preceding primary. Approximately 50,000 Republican ballots were cast in the March 19 primary in DuPage County, so approximately 100 can be delegates from DuPage County. If you are interested in being a delegate, contact the chairman of your Republican county party organization as soon as possible. Statutes call for delegates to be approved at County Conventions. The DuPage County Republican County Convention will be held on April 17 at the DuPage County Auditorium.

Registration for the convention is $75 and that covers training sessions on Friday and Saturday, welcome reception Friday evening, attendance at the General Session, and other events that are being scheduled. The registration form is at: https://rcca.gop/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IRSC-Registration-Form.pdf A convention volunteer sign up form is at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuK6xKCAxz-a7cUkUn_TSaQbbV48UvBTbeXUBzzlzJlWFiVQ/viewform Hotel information is at: https://rcca.gop/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IRSC-Hotel-Sheet.pdf  GOPUSA ILLINOIS will have a table in the vendor hall.

Delegates will vote on various resolutions brought to the convention floor. The full schedule for the convention is currently being finalized and will be published once complete. At the convention, delegates play a crucial role in shaping party decisions and policies. The convention is an unparalleled opportunity to network with fellow activists and right-thinking people.

Delegate responsibilities include:

— Representation: Delegates represent their local communities or districts. They participate in discussions, vote on party matters, and advocate for their constituents’ interests.

— Selecting Candidates: Delegates help choose party candidates for various offices such as National Committeeman and National Committeewoman, and delegates to the Republican National Convention.
— Platform Development: Delegates influence the party’s platform, and ultimately approve the party’s platform. The platform outlines the party’s stance on critical issues.

— Networking and Advocacy: Delegates interact with fellow party members, build connection, and advocate for specific policies or candidates.

Attending the convention is a great way to get involved in the Republican Party and network with like-minded conservatives.

But when was 49 years old in September of 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired on September 30, 1997. They would have let me work until I was eligible to take early retirement if I had not became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would not have become an active member in that lawsuit if they had not outrageously a) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) given me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, and d) thrown me off audits of IRS in 1988.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Democrats should be jittery about Pennsylvania voter registration trends – Salena Zito
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2954573/democrats-should-be-jittery-about-pennsylvania-voter-registration-trends/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you are a longtime resident of Pennsylvania, it still is a bit of a jolt to the senses to drive through what was once coal country and see an oversized, cheery, red billboard sitting along U.S. 30 reading “VOTE REPUBLICAN.” However, it is a reminder of how much the people who live in these old industrial and coal-rich counties have shed the local Democratic politics of their upbringing. Voter registration numbers, as we shall see, show as much. Important to note: These voters have not changed personally, but their parties have done so. Democrats have abandoned their working-class voters for college-educated elites who rarely call the middle of somewhere home. Officials in both parties in Washington — whether they are lawmakers on Capitol Hill or strategists working for one of the alphabet soup campaign arms of the House, Senate, or state legislatures, or a staffer for any of them — often struggle with how to appeal to these citizens.)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Eric Adams welcomes Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to NYC with offer to sleep at a migrant shelter – MICHAEL GARTLAND (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly a) promote illegal immigration and b) blame Republicans for the terrible problems their illegals cause.)
https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/04/04/eric-adams-welcomes-texas-gov-greg-abbott-to-nyc-with-offer-to-sleep-at-a-migrant-shelter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Adams offered a sarcastic helping hand to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during his New York City stay, saying Thursday that the Republican could sleep in a migrant shelter “so he can see what he has created.” Abbott, who has helped feed the migrant crisis in the city through a policy of busing thousands of migrants from Texas since 2022, was expected to be in New York for an annual Republican fundraiser. His sojourn to the Big Apple is widely viewed as a window into the GOP’s strategic thinking as the presidential contest and national congressional races heat up. Asked about the governor’s visit, Adams suggested Abbott lodge in one of the many Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, or HERRCs, that the city has set up to accommodate the more than 180,000 migrants who’ve flooded in during Adams’ term in City Hall. “I’m going to offer him a stay in one of the HERRCs, so he can see what he has created and understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect that he should have shown,” Adams said during a press conference in City Hall. “I’m not quite sure why he’s here and what he’s doing while here,” the mayor continued. “But he’s going to see how you can manage the crisis with coordination.” Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to an email and declined to comment over the phone. For months, Adams has lambasted Abbott for failing to coordinate with the city in his response to the migrant situation and has blamed him for pawning off the crisis on cities around the U.S. He has also criticized President Biden over national immigration policy. The mayor, as well, has weathered his own criticisms, with advocates pouncing on him for seeking to diminish the city’s right to shelter law and for the waits for shelter some migrants have experienced. Adams has contended that his administration has been successful in encouraging migrants to find housing elsewhere by limiting shelter stays to 30 or 60 days. In January, he and the city’s top lawyer announced the city was suing 17 charter bus companies responsible for transporting migrants to New York. On Thursday night, Abbott addressed his policy of sending migrants to New York City, drawing a rebuke from an Adams spokesman. The Texas governor attempted to place blame for the policy on Adams, claiming he only started sending migrants to New York City after coming under criticism from the mayor. “After a while I figured, gosh, if I’m gonna get the criticism, I want to get the credit and thus began the busing of illegal migrants to the sanctuary city of New York,” he said at the state GOP’s annual gala at the Hilton in Midtown. The mayor’s office disputed that account. “Remember that [Abbott] lied in 2022 about this and falsely claimed we never reached out when we found he was bussing migrants to NYC before he finally admitted to doing so,” tweeted Adams spokesman Fabien Levy.)

— Rhode Island GOP party goes ‘all volunteer’ after executive director steps down. What that means. – PATRICK ANDERSON (COMMENT: Who is the conservative outreach/volunteer coordinator for the Illinois Republican Party?)
https://www.aol.com/ri-gop-party-goes-volunteer-191219620.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Rhode Island Republican Party’s executive director has stepped down and, at least in the short term, will not be replaced. Jesus Solorio, who was hired as state GOP executive director in March 2022, announced Monday that he had left the party to form his own political consultancy. “It’s been an honor serving as the Rhode Island GOP executive director for the past two years,” Solorio wrote in a news release, which described the specialty of his new firm, Homan Street Strategies, as “empowering candidates with the precise tools and strategies needed to turn blue seats red.” During his time at the Rhode Island Republican Party, Solorio saw very few blue seats turn red in Rhode Island as Democrats maintained their grip on statewide offices and most city halls and commanding majorities in the General Assembly. State party Chairman Joe Powers Monday said the organization had “not put in a plan to fill the position straight away” and would be returning to the all-volunteer arrangement that was in place from 2018 until Solorio’s hiring in 2022. Solorio came to Rhode Island from Illinois, where he had been the Latino outreach/volunteer coordinator for then-candidate and future one-term governor Bruce Rauner before launching his own unsuccessful campaign for Congress. Solorio was alerted to the Rhode Island job by Ashley Kalus, a fellow Rauner campaign alum who won the Republican nomination for governor of Rhode Island in 2022, but lost to Gov. Dan McKee. More recently, Solorio came under pressure in January when the party struggled to collect the necessary signatures to get all Republican presidential candidates on the state primary ballot. The four Republicans challenging presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump did ultimately qualify for the primary ballot.)

They outrageously and falsely argued that the graduate Loyola business and DePaul accounting courses I deducted were not related to my job duties, did not maintain or improve my job skills, qualified me for a new trade or business, and were taken by me to get a job in the private sector. They outrageously and falsely ignored/dismissed/belittled that fact that the employee manual they gave me encouraged me to take the courses, the content of my position descriptions, and the reasons I gave for my taking the courses in my Loyola and DePaul applications. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.)

IRS promoted me to GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, to GS-11 ($80,994) in 1973, and GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974. My critics/opponents were furious that I got promoted so fast. In my defense, I completed four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972, four in 1973, and four in 1974. Further, I successfully completed a major developmental assignment during 1973 and 1974.)

— Democrats eager to jail Jan. 6 rioters once shielded left-wing radicals who bombed the U.S. Capitol. – Susan Ferrechio
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/29/democrats-eager-to-jail-jan-6-rioters-once-shielde/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorney General Merrick Garland, who boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of blowing up a bomb near the Senate chamber. Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges for her role in bombing the Navy Yard and Fort McNair, or plotting to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Democrats quietly helped toss her case in 2009, a move that Mr. Garland later signed off on.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Applications for revenue-generating IRS jobs are ‘far below’ agency goals. The tax agency is facing major hurdles with its big ambitions for hiring to slash uncollected taxes. – ERIC KATZ (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat IRS superiors wasted my career and b) how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS, wasted my career, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.)
https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2024/03/applications-revenue-generating-irs-jobs-are-far-below-agency-goals/394987/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The agency has made some progress—it has eliminated barriers to posting job openings—but is still facing headwinds that are largely outside of its control. Revenue agents for those roles have “yet to be hired and onboarded,” the IG said. “External applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience,” TIGTA found. A previous IG report found that despite its new funding, revenue agent staffing had actually decreased by 8%, or more than 650 employees, between the end of fiscal 2019 and March 2023. IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. IRS officials are aware of the problem and are attempting to develop solutions. The agency has completed an enterprise-wide recruiting strategy for revenue agents and is “exploring options” to better promote related job announcements. “We are making remarkable progress in our efforts to transform the IRS and the pace of change is accelerating as we use the historic funding from the IRA,” said David Padrino, IRS’ chief transformation and strategy officer. He noted that overall, the agency has completed 45% of its fiscal 2023 milestones, while 55% were underway and just 2% had not yet been addressed. Still, some of IRS’ shortfalls may be systemic. Erin Collins, the National Taxpayer Advocate, warned in a recent report the IRS Human Capital Office “lacks the necessary resource investments,” including IT and staffing, to keep up with the agency’s new hiring demands. Citing the pay gap between federal and private sector employees, the taxpayer advocate said it would be “unreasonable to expect the IRS to consistently out-recruit the competition.” The agency has maintained expedited hiring authority, but even when using it in fiscal 2023 the average time between a job announcement and a start date was 110 days. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office found last month IRS is failing to detail its current and future needs, where skill gaps exist and its strategy for filling them. It has broad hiring plans and types of roles for which it will hire, but has not specified which workers would go toward high-income/high-wealth audits. IRS is also facing political headwinds. Congressional Republicans have decried the hiring as a “power grab,” and the agency itself has warned its workforce could be facing a “cliff” in several years when IRA funds are set to expire. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., even wrote a letter to Americans imploring them not to apply for the forthcoming jobs. Collins suggested IRS invest more in using the Pathways and Presidential Management Fellows programs to recruit employees. She also said the agency should consider contracting with recruiting firms to help it bring in candidates for higher-grade positions. Collins noted IRS has made significant gains in hiring for customer service positions—the agency completed a total of 34% more hiring actions in fiscal 2023 than the previous year—but said the outstanding problems threaten what it is trying to accomplish. “If the IRS does not make significant changes, these staffing shortages will compound and pose significant threats to federal tax administration and taxpayer rights,” the taxpayer advocate said. The challenges do not come as a surprise: Collins and former officials—including Danny Werfel, who has since once again become IRS commissioner—warned when the IRA was passed that fulfilling the agency’s staffing goals would present significant difficulties. IRS is also looking to develop flexible work options, but TIGTA found in its new report that progress in that area has been delayed. The agency is still looking to onboard a project lead in that area and is determining what is feasible based on other agency practices. The Treasury Department last month mandated that employees work from their offices at least 50% of the time. The agency is also creating a pulse survey to establish a baseline on employee morale, while officials have presented to the Transformation and Strategy Office three options for improving employee recognition and educating managers about rewards for staff.)

RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— 86% of Likely U.S. Voters are concerned that the Internet and social media are being used to spread misinformation, including 56% who are Very Concerned. Just 12% are unconcerned about online misinformation. (COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters are full of misinformation. My critics/opponents blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for my problems, for your problems, and for everyone’s problems. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

CITIES 92.9
— A measure that would give $1,000 in monthly guaranteed taxpayer-funded “unrestricted cash” subsidies to certain individuals in Illinois, regardless of immigration status, is being debated in the state legislature. An Illinois Senate appropriations committee Wednesday heard about Senate Bill 3462 from state Sen. Ram Villivalam, D-Chicago. He couldn’t say how much his plan would cost taxpayers. – Greg Bishop
https://www.cities929.com/2024/03/27/legislator-wants-taxpayers-to-fund-statewide-1000-monthly-guaranteed-income/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Buehler, who is the McHenry County Board chairman, couldn’t attend Wednesday’s hearing, but is listed as an opponent of the measure. He said it’s irresponsible to discuss such a program without knowing how much it will cost taxpayers. “My understanding is that you would have to be a person with a child, or caring for someone in your home or in school to be eligible for the benefits. That could be millions of people and the cost could be in the tens of billions of dollars,” Buehler told The Center Square. “And where’s the state going to come up with these funds and the only place to come up with that is to get it from the taxpayers.” Pilot guaranteed income programs in Chicago and the Metro East St. Louis areas are ongoing, costing taxpayers millions.)

— U.N. Chief Demands Slavery Reparations After ‘Generations of Discrimination’ – SIMON KENT (COMMENT: Are you White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, and/or German American? How long have your ancestors been in America? From what I see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the aforesaid that you are and the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more reparations that Democrats and RINOs are going to make you pay. I am all of the aforesaid and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, they have always lived in northeast Illinois, were never in a position to discriminate against anyone, and never did discriminate against anyone. In my defense, I have paid lots of reparations already and I continue to pay lots of reparations. Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI are reparations. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to give promotions that I should have gotten to my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, had less money than I did, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. They all had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

I share the following demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft-avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have taken more and more and more adverse actions against me.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240322/news/why-illinois-voters-were-no-shows-at-the-polls-tuesday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Most of the races were completely uncontested, with just one contested county board race on the Democratic side,” said Lake County Clerk Anthony Vega. “That lack of motivation could have resulted in voters not coming out.” With that lack of choice, combined with the fact that Democratic President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump had all but secured their nominations ahead of Tuesday’s vote, low turnout was inevitable, experts said. “But I was still shocked to see returns as low as they were,” said Ryan Tolley, executive director of Change Illinois, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that advocates for ethical government and elections. “Typically voter turnout is higher in presidential elections and that doesn’t seem to be the case this year in Illinois, which that could be the divisiveness of politics or voters not having any faith in the process.” . . . Low turnout for a spring primary doesn’t necessarily translate to low turnout for the November election though. . . And when it comes to presidential election years, more than 70% of Illinois voters have cast ballots in each of the last five presidential votes, according to election records.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Abandons Grassroots, Pays Establishment Political Consulting Firms $954K During Embarrassing 2022 Election Cycle, Disclosures Reveal (COMMENT: I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants ( https://theaapc.org/ ) since 2001. My critics/opponents rudely ended my service as a member of the AAPC Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004, a position that I had since 2001. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997 as an Analyst, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. What GAO Analysts do is very similar to what consultants do.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/03/il-gop-abandons-grassroots-pays-establishment-political-consulting-firms-954k-during-embarrassing-2022-election-cycle-disclosures-reveal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party routinely claims that they do not have enough money to support individual candidates – especially the conservative grassroots candidates, but disclosures reveal that during the 2022 election cycle, the state party spent over $954,000 on three political consulting firms as Democrats dominated the election and expanded their super majority control throughout the state. Disclosures also reveal that during that same period, the state party spent over $731,000 on salaries. Records show the IL GOP sent $437,500 to Axiom Strategies, $285,196 to COR Strategies and $231,347 to Validus. But the money spent did not advance Republican causes, but rather it advanced Republican losses – as the party spent nearly one million dollars to hire the state’s best and brightest political minds and consultants. And what was the result of their efforts? As the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board pointed out in a Nov. 11, 2022 editorial, “Republicans lost every state constitutional office – governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer – and 14 of 17 congressional seats. In the General Assembly, not only did the GOP fail to gain any ground on Democrats’ supermajority, Democrats notched a record number of seats in the Illinois House. And in the Illinois Supreme Court, where Republicans had an opportunity to gain two seats…they came up short. Democrats now have a comfortable 5-2 edge in the state’s high court.” Validus partner and co-founder Nick Klitzing is the former Executive Director of the IL GOP and he served as the Deputy Campaign Manager and Special Counsel for the Bruce Rauner re-election campaign in 2017. A review of Klitzing’s personal X account reveals anti-Trump posts. The Republican political consultant also bashes former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, writing in 2020 that the mayor caused “extraordinary damage to our democracy by lying and pushing wild conspiracies on conservative media.” In other posts, Klitzing praises Never Trumper former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, writing, “So proud that @RepKinzinger represents Illinois!” Klitzing even endorses an anti-Trump, pro-choice Chicago Democrat in 2019, writing, “As a Republican in Chicago, I don’t always love my choices in city elections. But I enthusiastically voted for @AnnaValenciaIL for City Clerk. I’ve known Anna for 15+ years. She is a great leader and true public servant. She deserves your support. #VoteValencia #TeamValencia” In 2018, Valencia endorsed Democrat JB Pritzker for governor, writing, “I am proud to support JB for governor and to fight alongside him for the future of Illinois.” And in response, Pritzker noted, “I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Clerk Valencia. Anna is a strong voice for women’s rights and economic opportunity here in Chicago and across the state. As governor, I will work with leaders like Anna to protect a woman’s right to choose, support women and minority-owned small businesses, and work to close the gender pay gap. We will also fight the hateful attacks we’re seeing from the Trump and Rauner administrations.” And in 2022, Gov. JB Pritzker endorsed Valencia in her bid to become Illinois’ Secretary of State, stating that she “represents the bright future of the Democratic Party.” But Republican political consulting is a lucrative business in Illinois, regardless of one’s winning record. Last April, this publication revealed that the Richard Uihlein-funded People Who Play By The Rules PAC, in quarterly disclosures, paid three political consultants $142,000 while spending just $3,700 to support conservative school board candidates during the April elections. Sadly, the candidates lost, but the real winners were the consultants who paid themselves generously. The founder, president and treasurer of the PAC Dan Proft, a Florida resident and host of the Naples-based radio show Chicago’s Morning Answer, received the majority of the consulting fees, totaling $75,000 to Starfish Consulting LLC, while the rest went to a consulting firm owned by Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who was paid $26,000 through Fahrenheit Consulting Group, while $41,000 went to a consulting firm owned by Michael Koolidge (TMKS, LLC), who also serves as the PAC’s communications director and chief spokesperson. During the 2022 Illinois gubernatorial campaign, Uihlein donated $42 million to Proft’s PAC. And just weeks before the election, the Illinois political consulting class, including the PAC, were out promoting a single poll that showed Republican nominee Darren Bailey within “striking” distance and only two points behind Pritzker during the final stretch of the campaign. But on election night, the governor’s race was called at the exact moment the polls closed, with the Associated Press declaring Gov. Pritzker the winner at 7:00 pm CDT. Pritzker would defeat Bailey by 12 points – a far cry from the 2-point margin that the Republican consultants were out promoting just days before. The Illinois Republican political consulting class is busy getting ready for the 2024 election, and promising major Republican victories in a state dominated by the Democrats. But if history is any indication, the real winners will not be the local candidates – but rather, the well-paid political consultants. The next election is November 5, 2024.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago officials evicted 15 migrants from city shelters through Wednesday, far fewer than expected less than a week ago, as Mayor Brandon Johnson resisted new calls to reverse course. Since city officials began enforcing the 60-day limit on shelter stays imposed by Johnson, eight people were evicted on Sunday and Monday, with another seven evicted on Wednesday, according to city data. It was unclear whether anyone would be evicted Thursday. The most recent evictions came on the same day that Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th Ward), the chair of the City Council’s Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights, renewed his call for the mayor to scrap the limit entirely and step up efforts to care for the men, women and children who made their way to Chicago from the southern border. “The city should not be in the business of handing out evictions,” Vasquez said Wednesday morning. “No one in need of shelter, whether they are newly arrived or whether they were born and raised here, should ever face the fear and instability of being evicted from a city shelter knowing they have nowhere else to go.”)

AMERICANS FOR TAX REFORM
— Few Americans Want to Work for Biden’s IRS (COMMENT: Potential IRS employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised that IRS will waste their career and get rid of them if they do not make GS-13 ($115,439) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40 and that extremely few IRS employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. IRS offered me a GS-7 (currently $54,728) job as a Revenue Officer in 1971 when I was 22 because IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who would take the job. I had had earned a bachelor’s degree in management and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I accepted the offer because I was unemployed. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. IRS could not offer me a job as a Revenue Agent because I had not taken enough accounting courses.)
https://www.atr.org/few-americans-want-to-work-for-bidens-irs-oddly-enough/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The official IRS watchdog released a report last week noting the IRS is not attracting qualified applicants for its “revenue generating” positions. In a March 11, 2024 report the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration wrote: “Additionally, the external applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience, which has created further challenges in hiring.” And as noted by Government Executive magazine, referencing an Aug. 2023 TIGTA report: IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. Perhaps Americans are not attracted to employment with an agency that got caught illegally backdating penalty documents and signatures; an agency that got caught intentionally destroying 30 million tax forms submitted by taxpayers attempting to resolve their taxes; an agency unwilling or unable to protect sensitive personal information.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Global shipping executive Angela Chao had nearly three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system when she drove a Tesla into a pond and drowned in Texas, according to a law-enforcement report released Wednesday that concluded her death was an “unfortunate accident.” The chief executive of Foremost Group died Feb. 11 after putting her car in reverse and driving into the pond on her Texas ranch in Johnson City, according to the report by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office. A toxicology test on Chao showed a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.23, the report said. The legal limit is 0.08 in Texas. While Chao was over the Texas limit for driving on public roads, her alcohol level at the time of death isn’t considered against the law because she was driving on private property, said Chief Deputy Robert Woodring with the sheriff’s office.)
