Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, all anyone in the world needs to do to come into America “legally” or to stay in America “legally” is to claim asylum. The Democrat news media ever-increasingly a) paints asylum seekers as being GOD-like and b) paints the Republican battle against illegal immigration as being lost forever. That is, that soon, if not already, Democrat leaders will have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever win an election again and RINO leaders will have all the cheap labor that they can use. Anticipate/expect that if Democrat and RINO leaders conclude that it is necessary, they will ever-increasingly move illegals to battleground/swing states so that they can vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats on the ballot.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: With deadline looming, is public pension funding heading in the right direction? – Jake Griffin (COMMENT: Are you earning credits toward a pension? Are you getting a pension? I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I became eligible to take early retirement in when I was 45 in 1993. I have been getting a COLA-adjusted CSRS pension (currently $65,160/year) since I was 49 in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about the aforesaid. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years (1980-1997), for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), and for the Post Office for almost 3 years (1966-1969). I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (Loyola-business), 1980 (DePaul-accounting), and 1997 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting). I earned a job-related profession license (CPA) in 1981. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I might still be paying 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS instead of drawing a pension from it.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Only 3.4% of U.S. journalists are Republicans – Kerry Picket (COMMENT: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have been a member of that 3.4% since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, you cannot be both a journalist and a Republican.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/30/only-34-us-journalists-are-republicans-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose. According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022. That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll. Democrats in the news industry saw their ranks swell by eight percentage points in 2022 to 36%. The number is nine percentage points higher than the overall Democrat population of 27%, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll. The new survey notes that the figure is the third-highest percentage of journalists identifying as Democrats since 1971. The study included other findings that covered various topics in the journalism workplace, including educational levels, workplace satisfaction, shrinking newsrooms, median ages of reporters, women, minorities, sought-after training and social media. According to the survey, 22% of the respondents said journalism in the U.S. was headed in the right direction, while 60.1% said otherwise. Similar numbers of respondents said the same a decade ago. When asked about the “most important problem facing journalism today,” the journalists mentioned these issues most often: declining public trust in the news media, shrinking local and community news coverage, perceived bias and opinion journalism, fake news and disrupted business models. This survey resumes the series of national studies of U.S. journalists launched in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone. It continued in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2013 by David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit and their colleagues at Indiana University. The new study was based on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists and conducted in early 2022.)

PHYLLIS PCHLAFLY
— The Repackaged Attack On Motherhood – Ed Martin
https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/family/the-repackaged-attack-on-motherhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barbie phenomenon is joined by the female pop star Taylor Swift, whose record-setting concert tour caused an unprecedented meltdown at Ticketmaster. Now the film version has broken the box office record for a concert movie, drawing mostly young women to theaters where they dance on chairs and sing off-key rather than merely watching. Taylor Swift, herself childless and nearly 34 years old, was asked when she turned 30 whether she wants to have children. She curtly replied, “I don’t really think men are asked that question when they turn 30, so I’m not going to answer that now.” For the most part, Swifties have not been attending these concerts on dates with young men. An estimated 90% of these concert fans are women, an imbalance so severe that it has caused havoc with the availability of restrooms at performance venues. The messaging from the media couldn’t be any clearer. They are telling our young women that the path to happiness requires childlessness. This messaging isn’t new. Phyllis Schlafly was exposing these false promises all the way back when Betty Friedan was calling the home a “comfortable concentration camp” back in the 1960s. However, the new packaging on the same old lie shouldn’t be ignored today. We must help our daughters to see that for the vast majority of women, true and lasting fulfillment will be found in marriage and motherhood.)

— You’re never too old to pivot in your career. – Ashton Jackson (COMMENT: Have you pivoted in your career? I did when I was 31 in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. But I soon found out that my Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being far too old to have a successful GAO career. To make that happen, they forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer and they ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the fact that I a) had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) had become a licensed CPA in 1981, g) had become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, 12, and 13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer, who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. They never would have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

DAILY MAIL
— ‘He’s soaking up the sun while illegal aliens crash our border’: Republicans slam Joe Biden for taking New Year’s holiday to Caribbean island of St Croix when 6,000-strong migrant caravan rumbles towards the US. Republicans are criticizing President Biden for vacationing in St. Croix during a border crisis, accusing the White House of neglecting the issue. Biden’s trip coincides with an increased focus on a migrant caravan and rising number of border crossings
Vacation-related attacks on presidents are common, and Republicans believe the border issue is politically advantageous in an election year. – JAMES GORDON

The ever-increasing horrific disaster caused by Democrat and RINO success in flooding America with illegals is ever-increasingly worsening. I should write a book about those who not only reject the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform, but who destroy those like me who support that plank. I would focus on past and present a) RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

— Champaign County sheriff expects little change in light of new gun regulation – SAMUEL LISEC
https://www.news-gazette.com/news/champaign-county-sheriff-expects-little-change-in-light-of-new-gun-regulation/article_2077db33-1e74-5b1c-86e1-1717a6a3db4d.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the law also allowed existing owners of assault-style firearms one year to register their guns with state police, with the aim of “ensuring that law enforcement knows the location of these weapons of war and who to hold accountable if they fall into the wrong hands,” a news release from the governor’s office said. Heuerman said he does not believe the Champaign County Sheriff’s office will play a large role in the rollout of the new requirement because it is unlikely that deputies will regularly encounter people whose sole crime they are committing is failing to register their regulated firearms. The statute does not require deputies go door to door to check if people have assault-style weapons guns in their home, the sheriff said. When deputies do come into contact with individuals who are possessing a gun unlawfully, it is typically because that person is using it recklessly or threateningly. In the latter instance, HB 5471 could serve as another means of prosecution for the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s office, he said. In a scenario in which a deputy encounters a person who has neglected to register their firearm, and they are not possessing or wielding it in any other unlawful way, Heuerman said he does not see a criminal arrest likely taking place in those circumstances, but rather a conversation taking place in which that person is reminded they are registered to their firearm with ISP. But if deputies were to make contact with that person who has failed to register their assault-style firearm in subsequent encounters, then the sheriff’s office could escalate their involvement in making an arrest and report for the State’s Attorney’s office to follow up on. “I don’t want to suggest people don’t do it, that’s not what I’m saying. The law is the law,” Heuerman said. “But I just don’t think the frequency is going to be there where we’re running into people violating the statute intentionally without maliciously using that weapon in some way.”)

https://www.shawlocal.com/my-suburban-life/2023/12/30/dupage-county-working-to-ensure-asylum-seekers-are-transported-to-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is working closely with local and regional partners to ensure asylum seekers who have been arriving on out-of-state buses are transported to the city of Chicago. “Our primary goal is to help these new arrivals get to their destination in the city as safely, and with as few delays, as possible. We are grateful for the collaboration with state, regional, and local officials, who have been enormously helpful in ensuring the safety and security of those arriving in DuPage County, as well as our residents,” County Board Chair Deborah Conroy said. Since Dec. 14, 49 buses have arrived at train stations in DuPage County containing 2,081 passengers, according to DuPage OHSEM. They boarded trains to Chicago, where city teams guided them to Chicago’s landing zone, which is the only designated location in the state of Illinois for asylum seekers. Residents who would like to assist asylum seekers by donating food, clothing or small household items or to learn more about the requirements for sheltering, please visit www.Chicago.gov/support .)

— Google, Facebook Slash DEI Programs in 2023 – Lee Barney (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, Democrats and RINOs have spent many trillions of dollars on Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on race and gender based preference giving, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on reparations, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. How has that impacted you? My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors used AA and DEI to unofficially justify delaying my promotions, to not promote me, to give me smaller or no pay increases, and to force me to retire early in 1997. Since 2000, RINO government and political leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have used AA and DEI to unofficially justify taking many adverse actions against me. They rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. They never would have done that if I had been a minority, female, younger, or veteran. They ever-increasingly stress that I am not minority, not female, not younger, not veteran, Protestant, German American, that my ancestors have been in America for a long time, and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform promotes legal immigration, but it opposes illegal immigration. Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor. What are the following doing to fight illegal immigration, for example, demanding E-Verify: a) your Republican congressman, b) your Republican state senator and representative, c) your Republican county, township, municipal, and school district officials, d) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township/ward party organization, and e) candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? From what I see, the more of the following that your municipality has, the more likely that more illegals will end up there: Democrat/RINO leadership, Democrat/RINO voters, big push for DEI, that is, for preference for those who are minority, female, and/or younger, lots of churches and welfare agencies, lots of limousine liberals who want cheap labor, demand for low/un-skilled workers, public transportation, empty buildings, a history of seeking/accepting refugees, county seat, growing hatred of Trump, conservatives, Republicans, etc. – Dave Diersen

CITY JOURNAL
— “Equity” Reimagined in the Windy City. Mayor Brandon Johnson vows to close down Chicago’s nation-leading selective public schools. – Renu Mukherjee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, and/or those whose ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Some falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my parents being filthy rich. They ignore the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills and died suddenly when I was 21, d) that my mother never attended high school, and e) that I had to work my way through college.)
https://www.city-journal.org/article/equity-reimagined-in-chicago-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two days before the 2020 presidential election, Kamala Harris shared a highly criticized campaign ad on X (then Twitter) about the difference between equality and equity. The ad featured two cartoon men—one white, one black—climbing a mountain. The white man started out closer to the top of the mountain than his black peer and subsequently finished the climb first; only when the black man got a “boost” was he able to reach the top, too. Harris served as the ad’s narrator: “Equality suggests, ‘Oh, everyone should get the same amount.’ The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place. . . . Equitable treatment means that we all end up at the same place.” The ad was poorly received by much of the American public, at least in part because the notion of equity—“we all end up at the same place”—is decidedly un-American. Yet the concept is not new. In a 1965 address at Howard University, President Lyndon B. Johnson used a similar analogy to justify affirmative action: “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” For decades, Harris, LBJ, and other old school progressives have defined equity in policy terms to mean preferences for blacks, Latinos, and other marginalized groups in education and employment. The goal of equity, defined in this way, is to increase the representation of these groups in the upper echelon of American society—often at the cost of Asian Americans and whites. But “new school progressives” understand equity to mean the elimination of the upper echelon altogether. They don’t want anyone to have the opportunity to attend a selective public high school, and they loathe the prestige associated with an Ivy League education or a career in “Big Law” or on Wall Street. Their definition of equity amounts to universal mediocrity. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson’s December 14 decision to eliminate the city’s 11 selective public high schools, which use standardized tests to determine student admissions, is the latest example of this new notion of equity at play.)

— Just How Rich Were the McCallisters in ‘Home Alone’? Fans have been debating the McCallister family’s wealth for years. We asked the Federal Reserve for answers. – Amanda Holpuch (COMMENT: Many of the homes in the southern half of my new DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton are worth more than the McCallister home.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/movies/home-alone-mccallisters-wealth.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Working with the assumption that the McCallisters did not spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, the economists also determined the home would have been affordable to a household with an income of $305,000 in 1990 (about $665,000 in 2022). In the middle of 2022, a similar house would cost about $2.4 million, based on the Zillow estimate for the “Home Alone” house. A home of that value would be affordable to a household with income of $730,000, which would be in the top 1 percent of Chicago-area households, the economists said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) explains how these newcomers served as convenient sources of cheap labor — while upended long-standing patterns of assimilation and integration. . .many elites believe “it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government” . . . For decades now, since our elites began to believe that global market integration was an inherent good that should take precedence over all else — particularly patriotism, national unity, and the welfare of American workers — this country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor. . .But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. . .More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.)

In addition to being German American and Protestant, both Trump and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, older. draft avoiders, non-poor, married, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. In my defense, I have always stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/12/20/will-lawsuit-dei-state-bar-n2632570
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The State Bar of Wisconsin is being sued for promoting discriminatory DEI practices based on race and sexual orientation. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) launched a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin State Bar on behalf of a State Bar member who is compelled to pay mandatory membership dues that functionally fund DEI programming he argues unfairly discriminates against him as well as thousands of Wisconsin attorneys on the basis of racial and sexual identity. Specifically, the State Bar of Wisconsin’s “Diversity Clerkship Program” offers exclusive internship opportunities—ones that should be open to everyone, WILL’s client says—only to certain minority law students or those who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Some of Wisconsin’s largest law firms and government agencies participate in the race- and sexuality-based Diversity Clerkship Program, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The application itself requires prospects to submit personal statements, “an extremely important factor” in the “race-based selection criteria,” detailing how they “contributed to diversity” and have “demonstrat[ed] their commitment to diversity.” . . . WILL additionally argues that the program “advocates for supplanting equal opportunity with equal outcome” and “violates the free speech rights of students by discriminating against those who will not profess a commitment to this [DEI] ideology.”)

— Texas Republican Chip Roy Blames Trump For Border ‘Mess’ – Matthew Impelli
https://www.newsweek.com/republican-blame-trump-border-chip-roy-1854243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy recently placed some blame on former President Donald Trump for the current “mess” at the U.S.-Mexico border. During an interview broadcast by CNN on Tuesday, Roy spoke about Trump refusing to attend the string of Republican primary debates and praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rep. Blaine Wilhour of the Illinois Freedom Caucus has a primary fight on his hands. If nothing else, a barrage of union money aimed at Wilhour could divert “Eastern Bloc” resources away from their hoped-for battle against Rep. Dave Severin. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: In 2000, when I first ran for DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman, those to the left of me had a woman to the left of me run against me. But with a written endorsement from both Randy Hultgren and Peter Roskam, I won.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/12/16/24003512/rep-blaine-wilhour-illinois-freedom-caucus-primary-fight-eastern-bloc-rich-miller
(FRM THE ARTICLE: Several weeks ago, Illinois Department of Corrections employee Matt Hall started quietly circulating petitions to run against Wilhour in the Republican primary. The Illinois Education Association confirmed it had been looking for a candidate to challenge Wilhour. A union spokesperson said the IEA did not recruit Hall but said, “We are excited about his candidacy and believe our members who live in the district will be as well.” Asked if he would accept union contributions, Hall said, “I will accept everyone’s support, and I expect to get everyone’s support.” He said he decided to run because Wilhour “quit doing what I think a state representative needs to do,” including being responsive to constituents. “He just doesn’t do anything,” Hall said. “In my opinion, all he does is kick and scream and doesn’t get anything passed.” Wilhour also hasn’t stopped any Democratic bills, Hall claimed. “We need to learn how to work together and get things done and care about this district.” In response, Rep. Wilhour said: “A primary fight with the teachers’ union has been a foregone conclusion. It’s always been about them finding their tool willing to carry their woke agenda.” People on Wilhour’s side are convinced House GOP Leader McCombie is somehow behind Hall’s race. “I prefer not to speak of who I’ve had contact with,” Hall said when asked if he’d spoken with McCombie about his candidacy. A McCombie aide said the leader was focused on holding and picking up seats. Hall ended up filing his petitions. They were solid, and he had help from the IEA. Interestingly enough, a formal objection was filed against Rep. Wilhour’s petitions. “It looks like a concerned citizen filed the complaint, and we’re interested to see what comes of it,” said an IEA spokesperson. Sure. Anyway, if Hall manages to beat Wilhour, a shockwave will reverberate through the far right of the party. But, if nothing else, a barrage of union money aimed at Wilhour could divert Eastern Bloc resources away from their hoped-for battle against Rep. Severin.)

DAILY MAIL
— Chicago’s migrant crisis spirals out of control: City spent nearly $1 million on failed camp before pulling the plug – as officials now IMPOUND buses bringing migrants to the city from Texas on Gov. Greg Abbott’s orders. The city spent over $985,000 on the shuttered migrant camp at Brighton Park. Locals had opposed the camp, with two residents filing a lawsuit. There are currently more than 13,000 migrants staying in Chicago’s shelter system and the city has spent more than $250M handing the crisis this year. – GERMANIA RODRIGUEZ POLEO

Quig and Alice Yin (COMMENT: I have been an arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( https://www.finra.org/arbitration-mediation ) since 1998.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-city-council-vote-fop-contract-arbitration-20231213-fka2txhzyba5lnth6ux5cbiwj4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-17 vote defeating the arbitration clause nixes a major part of a deal announced less than two months ago as a major political win by Johnson’s administration with the union representing most of Chicago’s police force. The council’s rejection, and its reasoning for it, will now head back to arbitrator Edwin Benn, who earlier this year voted for the arbitration clause and could send that same ruling back to aldermen within weeks. The battle could ultimately end up in circuit court. In an unusual move at Johnson’s request, the arbitration matter was voted on separately from the rest of the contract, including raises for rank-and-file officers totaling 20% over four years that was approved by the full council with no debate.)

— DuPage County District 4 Republican voters anxiously await the DuPage County Republican Central Committee to fill the DuPage County District 4 Board vacancy on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-05-26-0005260258-story.html
(FROM THE May 26, 2000 ARTICLE: Monday was the statutory deadline for established political parties to fill vacancies on the November ballot where no candidate sought the nomination in the March primaries. In addition to the two County Board candidates and two countywide candidates picked for the ballot a few weeks ago by the DuPage Democratic organization, the party has added Richard Hass of Elmhurst to run in County Board District 2 in east central DuPage. Also added to the ballot recently were investment consultant Thomas Mason of Downers Grove, who will challenge U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) in the 13th Congressional District, and Stephanie Downs Hughes of Naperville, who was picked by Kane and DuPage Democrats to oppose state Sen. Chris Lauzen (R-Aurora) in the 21st Senate District. As of Thursday, however, DuPage Democrats still were researching why the DuPage County Election Commission reached a conclusion Monday that appears to disqualify two of the party’s appointed nominees from having their names on the November ballot. According to a member of the party’s candidate search committee, organization Chairman James Walsh was notified this week that the unsuccessful attempts in March by Democrats Vernon Carter of Bartlett and Christina Beaird of Naperville to win write-in campaigns for circuit clerk and County Board disqualifies them from being appointed to fill the ballot vacancies. Carter was picked to run for circuit clerk and Beaird was selected to run for the County Board in District 5. They tried to win the Democratic nomination for those posts by mounting write-in campaigns but failed to receive enough votes. If Carter is disqualified from being appointed to the ballot, Fitzpatrick will be the only Democrat seeking countywide office in DuPage.)

ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH
— New ‘vetting manual’ by Missouri GOP activists sparks conflict among state Republicans – Jack Suntrup (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs are involved in Republican politics to get the party to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “vetting manual” being floated in GOP circles has sparked conflict, in part because it seeks to block certain candidates from running as Republicans. The state party has warned the document would invite litigation. Efforts to institute the vetting plan are still playing out, and only a handful of county parties have adopted the system, according to a state party official. The movement bears similarities to the ongoing struggle between hard-line and main-line Republicans in the state Legislature, a conflict that is coming into focus as the Aug. 6 GOP primary approaches.)

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
— Chicago Booth launches new Master in Finance Program. Degree will help recent college graduates jump-start their careers in the rapidly advancing field. (COMMENT: I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 when I was 43, and after I completing 14 courses, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I did that a) because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear to me that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and b) because my University of Chicago MBA-holding GAO supervisor had made it clear to her employees that she wanted/demanded her employees to have such degrees. I succeed in getting her appointed to the program’s advisory committee. But in September of 1997, she flushed all that down her toilet. She played a very big role in forcing me to take GAO’s agency-wide early retirement “offer” that was expiring at the end of that month so that she could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. And that is exactly what she did. She ignored, dismissed, and belittled a) the fact that I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $$109,732-$142,650/year, and the last 8 years of which working for her, b) the fact that I had become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Frad Examiner in 1990, c) the fact that I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) the fact that I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) the fact that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

— To get more and more and more votes from those who have demographics who vote for Democrats, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats. Those demographics include: minority, female, younger, poor, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

Since 2000, far too many leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization want harsh punishment for me because Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct lost elections. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government wanted harsh punishment for me a) because I complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat superiors and supervisors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/12/12/precinct-coverage-shows-weakening-of-the-republican-party-while-democrats-in-ascendance/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Both 2020 and 2024 are Presidential election years. Presidential years have higher voter turnouts than non-presidential years. One would expect that party activism would be similar. Four years ago, there were 76 precincts in which Republicans were running for Precinct Committeeman. For next year, there are only 61 for Precinct Committeeperson (the Dems changed the name). That indicates a weakening of the McHenry County Republican Party. Democrats had 55 precincts covered four years ago versus 66 this time around.)

After completing 16 courses, I earned an MBA in 1976. In 1976, I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul because that was what my employee manual encouraged me to do. After completing 12 courses, I earned a master’s degree in accounting. My doing the aforesaid helped me get promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and it helped me pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear to me that they would never promote me again in 1974, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, got rid of the manager who had promoted me in 1975, and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. Because of the aforesaid, I took a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During the application process, were you also working full-time? What did that look like and how were you able to balance it all?
Michael: I was working a full-time consulting job at the same time that I was going through the application process. One of the biggest factors in balancing the workload was communication with my managers at the firm. I was fortunate that I had a set of outstanding leaders who supported me in the journey, so I never felt that I needed to hide the fact that I was planning on moving on from the company. A second factor was having a consistent regiment for studying for the GMAT and finishing applications. I set targets for when I would take the test, planned out when I would apply to schools, and set up contingencies to fall back on if things went well or didn’t go well – I’m a planner, so it made me feel more comfortable to map it out!)

— Police officers and firefighters would no longer be forced to retire at age 63 under a proposal that’s being considered by a city council committee. – Craig Wall (COMMENT: Forcing employees to retire early is not only a tremendous waste, it is age discrimination. Democrats run the federal government. They use “up-or-out” to force their employees who they did not promote into their Senior Executive Service ($183,500/year) by age 40 and who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible. I became eligible to take their early retirement “offer” in 1993 when I was 45. Because I am Republican, White, male, and non-veteran, because they never promoted me to GS-14 let alone to SES, and because in 1988, when I was 40, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the former House speaker, headlined the annual holiday party hosted by businessman and political donor Jay Bergman at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Oak Brook on Monday. This wasn’t a campaign event, but McCarthy gave a shoutout to fellow Republican Congressman Mike Bost, who was also there. His message: Bost’s opponent in the 2024 primary, former gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, has no business running for Congress, according to McCarthy. We hear the California congressman blamed Bailey for Illinois Republicans losing four congressional seats in 2022. It was some hyperbole since Democrats controlled how the maps were drawn for congressional seats last year. But he got his point across. Word got back to Bailey’s team, who called Bost a “career politician” who’s “loyal to the swamp,” according to a statement to Playbook. Also in the party room: Congressman Darin LaHood, Former Congressman Bob Dold, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin (who lost to Bailey in last year’s primary), Illinois Senate Minority Leader John Curran, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, state Sens. Sue Rezin and Jil Tracy, nonprofit and political fundraiser Lisa Wagner, Regional Transportation Authority Board Chair Kirk Dillard, former DuPage County Commissioner Greg Hart, public affairs consultant Thom Serafin, business consultant David Walsh, entrepreneur Sarah Frey and Kirkland & Ellis partner Sandy Perl, who got a standing O for his opening remarks supporting Israel. Who invited McCarthy: his friend Richard Porter, a national committeeman of the Republican Party. The holiday host: Bergman is an oil man (yes, he lives in Illinois) and an investor who has donated to Republicans and Democrats over the years, including to Donald Trump in 2016. Another boost: Bost also was endorsed this week by Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician to Trump.- SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: I used to write such articles about Republican events. I should write a book about those who organized, spoke at, and/or attended those events who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.)

They sold that farm in 1864 and bought 10 acres just northeast of downtown Crete and raised and sold horses. Then they operated Crete’s only hardware store at the northeast corner of Main & Exchange. My parents and I lived in an apartment above that store 1948-1954. Then we lived at 1286 Wood Street that my grandfather had built on that 10 acres in 1926.

SPRINGFIELD NEWS LEADER
— Want to run as a Republican in Christian County? You’ll have to prove yourself first. – Marta Mieze (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. Far too many candidates run as Republicans but reject many, most, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Far too many of those candidates destroy Republicans like me who support those planks.)
https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2023/12/04/christian-county-republicans-among-committees-adopting-vetting-process/71742609007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those wanting to run for office in Christian County as Republicans are now required to undergo a vetting process. While those leading the new effort want to see it expanded state-wide, some counties and the Missouri Republican Party remain cautious. Don Carriker, chairman of the Christian County Republican Central Committee, told the News-Leader the goal of vetting candidates is to make the Republican brand stronger and gain more voters that he said the party has lost because of a lack of strength and cohesion. Without the vetting process, Carriker said candidates can simply run with an “R” by their name on the ballot to gain voter support in red counties without actually holding values that align with the party. “The job of the party is not to deceive people by letting people put an ‘R’ by their name when they’re really not a Republican,” he said. The vetting process will be proctored and include an “objective review” of each candidate’s background, a 25-question multiple choice “values survey” based on the state party platform and will require candidates to sign a statement pledging their allegiance to both the state and federal Republican Party platforms and constitutions, according to a news release. Those who refuse to go through vetting or fail the process will not have their filing fees accepted. Incumbents and those who have held office in the past will have their voting records reviewed.)

https://nypost.com/2023/12/03/opinion/republicans-suckered-into-expelling-george-santos-and-the-most-conservative-voting-record-in-ny/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You don’t have to approve of George Santos to understand it should have been left to his constituents in Long Island and Queens to decide on his suitability to remain in Congress. Nonetheless, despite a slim majority in the House and crucial votes looming as they head into an election year, 105 Republicans were suckered by moral vanity into expelling one of their own Friday. The 35-year-old gay son of Brazilian immigrants, Santos had the most conservative voting record of the entire New York delegation, and now he is gone, taking his vote with him. “To hell with this place,” he said as he exited the US Capitol after the vote, vowing revenge on the former colleagues who had turned on him. Perfect. Just what Republicans need: more friendly fire. Who knows who will fill his place in the Democratic district he miraculously flipped last year? Gov. Hochul has to hold a special election in the next couple of months, and you can bet that Democrats will use all their wiles to regain a seat that they used to take for granted.)

— Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of ‘anti-racism’ – M.B. Mathews (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and those jobs. My critics/opponents have always stressed that the jobs I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/12/making_a_silk_purse_from_the_crimeridden_rubble_of_antiracism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism. But racism does not account for these failures. Failure accounts for these failures: Failure to educate. Failure to instill a work ethic. Failure to be good and to do good. Failure to teach respect and good manners to young children. Failure to revere and promote healthy two-parent families. Failure to discourage sexual profligacy. Failure to demand excellence. Failure to reject profanity and embrace decency and honor. Instead, too many in the Black community have embraced the dysfunction within the Black culture with pride, claiming a unique historical experience that they say no one understands but other Black people. It has been long enough making excuses for Black failures and it is past time for the respectable Black people of America to rise up against the jealous race-baiters and say “No more.” There is nothing preventing Black success that a Judeo-Christian perspective cannot address successfully. Love your neighbor means don’t steal, don’t do the crime. Be nice to each other. Respect the property and lives of others. Be on time (terribly unfashionable among “anti-racists”), work hard (ditto), have a plan to succeed, and above all get educated at a school that does not indoctrinate but educates, which excludes most urban government schools. Unasked-for advice: Do not respect, honor, or adopt the malignant principles of those who teach anti-white racism in the guise of Critical Race Theory, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, or “Anti-Racism” (anti-white racism with an oxymoronic name.) When a group blames others, they will not succeed because they are always relying on those others to change. When the blamed ones don’t change, the professional victims believe that it’s perfectly okay to steal, cheat, lie, and break other people’s stuff in the name of reparations. That is not the path to success or to a better place in life, although it is a temporary frisson of schadenfreude. Crime in Blue cities is off the charts because Soros-appointed district attorneys have banded together to excuse crime committed by Black perpetrators. This harms Black people first, then Black neighborhoods, Black aspirations and in itself is criminal. When you teach theft, you get theft. When you get theft, good businesses leave your neighborhood. When they do leave, they take the economic base with them, and who gets hurt? Innocent, freedom-loving, decent people get hurt because they’re often stuck there with the crime they tolerated. The raped businesses will leave and set up shop where they are welcomed. No one is helped by trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: The sow’s ear cannot up and leave the sow. And silk is never made from putrefying pig flesh. The time is now for decent Black people everywhere to confront those among them who are committing the crimes. Refund the police. Create deterrence to crime by actually prosecuting it, from Broken Windows to retail theft, to murder. Don’t be Chicago, LA, or NYC. And for God’s sake, stop blaming others for the failures of your own house. Blame is not a strategy that keeps very long without starting to rot.)

— It’s Time to Rethink Society’s Definition of a ‘Good Job’ – Mike Rowe (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never have stooped to take. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had to take those bad jobs because I have always been a loser and a bad person. They have always stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT score was only 24. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on how much money their parents had/have.)

GOP braces for daily blasts from ‘orange Jesus’ His recension, as nominee or the eventual winner, threatens to spark the same clashes with the Hill GOP that took a heavy toll on the party. – BURGESS EVERETT, OLIVIA BEAVERS and MERIDITH MCGRAW (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, since Trump got elected in 2016, he has caused all the losses that Republican candidates have suffered. Because my critics/opponents cannot punish Trump for that, they punish me. They stress all the demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, old, draft avoider, gun owner, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. They ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. It is called displaced aggression. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)

INC.
— Know thy enemy. – ADAM HANFT (COMMENT: I should write a book about my enemies. I would focus on why they are my enemies. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.inc.com/adam-hanft/strike-lessons-surprising-leadership-tips-for-management-from-watching-shawn-fain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, recognize reality. Just because you’re running a company doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies that are as aggressive a threat to your economic well-being as the UAW is to the Big Three. Trust me, your enemies are just as real and more diverse. You have direct competitors, existing ones, and those studying your business in search of vulnerabilities. Your enemies can also include regulators who are bent on limiting your ability to operate freely; retailers who want to crush your margins; and consumers who are badmouthing you on social media for one reason or another. Even–or especially–the trends can be your enemies. If you are in the preservative business, you know whereof I speak. Once you frame your leadership mission that way, you can develop strategies to attack and deflect your enemies, based on your strengths. As I followed Fain’s moves, it struck me that he might have hip-pocketed a copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. This legendary approach to strategy and warfare was written around 400 B.C.E. and is still followed today. Take this quote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” So my question for you, as a business leader, is: Do you really and truly know your enemies, declared and undeclared, as well as you should? I doubt it. We don’t spend a lot of time thinking about winning in a world of enemies. One reason is that the “enemy frame” is inconsistent with how we think about business today. We dream about our “why” and our purpose. We have become so mission-y and vision-y that we forget the hard-knuckled street fight that business often is. That’s why Fain’s lesson is so important. I don’t believe that business leaders spend nearly enough time thinking long and hard, about who their enemies are, what motivates them, and where their vulnerabilities lie. As a corollary, I don’t believe business leaders spend enough time, introspectively, on “knowing themselves”–the other half of Sun Tzu’s formulation.)
