CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Corruption in Illinois breeds voter cynicism, but what about voter apathy? People might be more cynical and their government more expensive, but voter interest in state elections has only increased in the face of seemingly endless corruption. – Dave McKinney
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/12/1/23982415/corruption-impact-voter-behavior-burke-madigan
— Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.

— Biden lets Chicago replace dangerous lead water lines much slower than other cities. The president is ordering cities to replace lead pipes for drinking water within a decade. Chicago is getting at least 40 years to fix the problem. – Brett Chase (COMMENT: How much lead did you ingest when you were young? For the first 5 years of my life, I lived in an apartment above a hardware store built in the mid-1800s. For the next 19 years, I lived in a house built in 1926.)

CBS2
— Chicago Public Schools student tops $1 million in offers for college scholarships. – NATALIE GOLDSTICK (COMMENT: What scholarship offers did you get? I got none. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always stressed that and that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my graduating high school class and that my ACT score was only 24.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-public-schools-student-million-college-scholarships/

FOX32
— Congress demands transparency about aliens. A handful of members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are saying the truth is out there, and the American people have a right to know it.
https://www.fox32chicago.com/video/1374818
— Chicago teen earns doctoral degree. A 17-year-old Chicago girl has just earned her doctorate. Dorothy Jean Tillman is now Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after she successfully defended her dissertation to earn a doctoral degree in Integrated Behavioral Health from Arizona State University. (COMMENT: Timing is everything. I did not earn my first master’s degree (MBA) until I was 27 in 1976. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, that was a big mistake. I took only one graduate evening business course at a time at Loyola starting when I was 23 in 1972 while I was an IRS employee. I should have taken two if not three if not four courses at a time, but my focus during that time was my new IRS job first in Harvey 1972-1973, then at 63rd & Halsted in Chicago 1973-1974, and then downtown Chicago starting in 1974. Further, I could have afforded to pay more tuition faster if I had not a) bought a new Corvette in 1971, b) bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, c) bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, or d) bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. In today’s dollars, between 1972 and 1976, my IRS salary increased from $52,022/year to $98,431/year. Because I had not made GS-13 ($109,732/year in today’s dollars) by the time I was 25 in 1974, IRS wrote off as being much too old to have a successful IRS career.)

BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO
— Why Does This West Side High School Have Only 33 Students? Frederick Douglass Academy High School’s low enrollment numbers are a microcosm of the West Side’s history of disinvestment over the years, neighbors said. – Trey Arline
https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/11/30/why-does-this-west-side-high-school-only-have-33-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Statistically, the low enrollment means Douglass has some of the highest per-pupil spending in the district. The high school is spending just over $68,000 per student compared to the district average of $18,287, statistics from the Illinois State Board of Education show. Douglass’ spending per student is up 20 percent this year, according to the state.)

THE HILL
— Trump widens lead over DeSantis in new national poll – JULIA MUELLER (COMMENT: I have been a DuPage County Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC) since 1999. DuPage County RPCs are obligated to help elect those candidates who win Republican primary elections win general elections. I have always done that. But far too many DuPage County RPCs have not done that. Far too many of them destroy their fellow RPCs who did not support their candidates in primaries. I should write a book about those RPCs. I would start with those RPCs who supported Jim Ryan in the 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary. I would focus on those RPCs who did not support Trump in the 2016 or 2020 Republican primaries and are not supporting Trump in 2024 Republican primary. I would focus on those RPCs who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that even though I had the aforesaid qualifications, because I was an extremely bad person (White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, draft avoider, and even worse things), they had not promoted me beyond GS-12 and they had taken adverse actions against me in 1974 and 1978. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, 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 became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I was an extremely bad person, if I had not had the aforesaid qualifications, they would not had hired me, they would not have promoted me to GS-11, GS-12, or GS-13, they would have taken more adverse actions against me, and they would have forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 in 1993 instead of 49 in 1997. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors were extremely frustrated that I got married in 1978 and that I have stayed married ever since because that did not fit their extremely bad person argument. My Democrat GAO superiors were further frustrated that I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996 because that did not fit with their extremely bad person argument. To paint me as being an extremely bad person, my Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied to get a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 and my Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about wanting to have children and about what my wife and I had done to try to have children. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Better yet, I should sue my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors.)

— Robert Jacobsen, DuPage County historian, canning industry executive, dies at 92 – Bob Goldsborough (COMMENT: I had the honor of serving with Jacobsen on the Milton Township Cemeteries Authority 2001-2004.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obituaries/ct-robert-jacobsen-obit-20231120-6jte4u4ygnftdpgzqad4v7k5yu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of Jacobsen’s greatest achievements started about 2000, when he became the chairman of the newly formed Milton Township Cemeteries Authority. Under state law, townships have the right to declare cemeteries abandoned and then take control of them, and in the late 1990s, Milton Township, which includes unincorporated areas just outside Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Carol Stream, formed a cemetery authority to take over and restore three abandoned cemeteries, Jewell Grove, Pleasant Hill and St. Stephen. Jacobsen recruited volunteers to help him restore the cemeteries, including clearing overgrowth, adding signage, fixing headstones and planting prairie grasses. Jacobsen also began holding annual family remembrance days at each cemetery. “Bob brought dignity and history to those families buried there,” said Wheaton Bank and Trust President Bob Hutchinson, a longtime friend and former neighbor. “He cared deeply about our local history and engaged with many stakeholders to preserve it.” “In these cemeteries are the pioneers that built our community,” Jacobsen told the Tribune in 2010. “I really believe in my heart that people in our community want to know about our history, and it’s just a question of how do you get them involved. The joy of this cemetery activity is that so many people have gotten involved, and so many people have supported a love of history. Volunteers can’t do it all, and you need institutions to lead the way for volunteers to step up.” Marty Keller, a former Milton Township trustee, called Jacobsen “a generational character who both accomplished much and inspired many.” “His dedication to preserving our history led him to write books, restore cemeteries and participate in countless Milton Township activities,” Keller said. “Bob reminded us that few things worth fighting for can be completed quickly. It takes time and commitment by many citizens to create a lasting impact. He was a warm and caring man who possessed a strength of character that will be greatly missed.” . . . Jacobsen also served as a Milton Township Republican committeeman.)

My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a 21% pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

According to my critics/opponents, all the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me were absolutely justified. Further, according to them, instead of me, GAO, IRS, and the Post Office should hired those who were minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Further, according to them, I was grossly overpaid because I should not have been promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986. Further, according to RINOs, the federal government should be and it is the “employer of last resort” and it should be and it is the dumping ground for those who lack what it takes to succeed in the private sector.)

— Evanston School District Offers Classes Separated by Race to ‘Shrink Learning Gap’ – Laura Wellington
https://www.westernjournal.com/school-district-offers-classes-separated-race-shrink-learning-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To merely exist as a white person today is to hold black people and Latino people down. That is what the liberals and progressives want everyone to believe as they blame “whiteness” as the primary cause for the educational inequality in our nation. The fallacy is being escalated by Evanston Township High School located in Evanston, Illinois. New classes are being held that are reintroducing segregation into the school and our nation in a whole new way. The goal is to “shrink [the] learning gap” that is occurring between black, Latino, and white students, The Wall Street Journal reported. The cause of this gap is being blamed on the existence of whiteness in the school. Public school officials believe that whiteness is a distraction to black and Latino students. These students need it to go away in order to perform, I guess. As a result optional courses have been set up to exclude the white element. The fact that they are optional bypasses any legal issues that could arise due to antidiscrimination laws, according to education lawyers. Called affinity classes, 200 black and Latino kids have voluntarily signed up for math classes and a writing seminar made up of kids of a single race taught by a teacher of color, according to the Journal. These classes separate white students from black and Latino students. It’s a band-aid solution, in my opinion, much easier to latch onto than the actual root causes of black and Latino students’ under performance. Black and Latino parents and kids in the school district should be furious. These children are being sold short and set up to fail under the guise of eliminating prejudice. They are being excused from reality and the very field that will challenge them to achieve in a safe environment, so they can go out and successfully conquer the real, much tougher world. Unless, that is, the intent is to keep the black population and Latino population in their own boxes, away from their white counterparts and competition. They will forever trail behind as a result, in the name of social, cultural progress — elective enslavement as a result of being sold a bill of goods. We will also begin to reverse course on cultural acceptance at the hands of heightened inequality. This new format is a far cry from offering optional programs, like African American studies, from which all can benefit. This is blatant segregation and finger pointing towards the white population of students.)

You Have Company. – Vanessa Fuhrmans and Lindsay Ellis (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, up-or-out, and budget cuts, my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates got grumpier and grumpier and grumpier. Those who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time got grumpier because they ever-increasingly had to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Those who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time got grumpier because their desires/expectations/demands for promised preference were not being met fast enough.)

Keck (COMMEMT: What offices will be on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Which potential candidates are circulating nominating petitions for those offices? In my opinion, the leaders of Republican county, ward, and township organizations in Illinois should have long since provided their Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains that information in flyers for them to hand-carry to the Republican residences in their precinct. Failing that, I nevertheless hand-carried my precinct letter to the 370 registered Republican voters in the 228 residences in my new DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton in four batches that announced a) my candidacy for Precinct Committeeman, b) that the Republican primary would be March 19, 2024, c) that I would support those candidates who won the primary, d) etc.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/11/22/tucker-carlson-issues-a-grim-warning-for-the-us-in-2024-n2631558
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tucker Carlson is issuing a grave warning for the United States in 2024 as the presidential election looms. While speaking at the Risk On 360! Global Success Conference in Las Vegas, Carlson painted a grim picture of what the election year may bring as he revealed his concerns about the deepening division and paranoia among Americans. The 2024 election will be “like nothing we’ve ever seen,” Carlson said amid the promising look that former President Trump will be the GOP nominee— something the Democratic Party has fought long and hard to prevent. Examining the current political and cultural landscape, the conservative commentator said that there is no positive outcome in the U.S. of the progressive Leftist policies that have brainwashed and plagued millions of Americans. “There is no upside to the great trends of our age. There’s no upside to pushing transgenderism on kids. Period. None. Not for the kid, not for the society at large, not for the parents who will never have grandchildren,” Carlson said. The ominous warning Carlson gave should send shivers down every American’s spine. Alluding that the U.S. will push past its limits during the next election cycle, he urged people to stay strong and continue to speak the truth even when it is polarizing or difficult.)

— Macy’s Hit by Legal Action Before Thanksgiving Day Parade – Khaleda Rahman (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always promoted patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination. and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/macy-s-hit-by-legal-action-before-thanksgiving-day-parade/ar-AA1klucy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A conservative legal group headed by Stephen Miller, a former White House advisor to Donald Trump, has accused Macy’s of implementing a racially discriminatory diversity plan. America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday, according to a press release. The complaint alleges Macy’s is “intentionally and systemically” violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s prohibition on race discrimination, citing a five-point diversity plan that the retailer released in 2019. Newsweek has contacted Macy’s for comment via email. This article will be updated if a response is received. Macy’s plan instructed management to achieve “more ethnic diversity by 2025 at senior director level and above, with a goal of 30 percent,” and create a 12-month program to “designed to strengthen leadership skills for a selected group of top-talent managers and directors of Black/African-American, Hispanic-Latinx, Native American and Asian descent,” the group said in its letter to the EEOC. AFL alleged that Macy’s quotas are “patently illegal” and that the retailer “has only reinforced its commitments to recruitment and hiring policies that likely violate federal law” in the past year. In the letter, AFL asked EEOC to file a “commissioner charge” against Macy’s. Such charges, which can be filed by any of the five members of the agency’s leadership panel, are relatively rare, with only 29 filed in the 2022 fiscal year, up from only 3 in each of the previous two years. AFL also sent a letter to Macy’s chairman and board of directors, writing it was alerting them to “apparent mismanagement that threatens the waste of company assets, institutional disregard for and violations of federal civil rights laws, and breaches of fiduciary duty.” Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions in June, AFL appears to have increasingly taken aim at corporate diversity efforts. AFL has filed complaints with the EEOC about a number of major U.S. companies, including Starbucks, McDonald’s and Anheuser-Busch, which are among those that that it has designated as “woke corporations” on its website. The EEOC has not responded to the group’s claim that diversity, equity and inclusion efforts violate Title VII. AFL shared details of the complaint on X, formerly Twitter, saying Americans should know that Macy’s “appears to maintain politicize that perpetuate illegal racial discrimination—denying career advancement to white straight men” before tuning into Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade or going Black Friday shopping. “Macy’s own public-facing materials all but acknowledge that they are engaging in personnel practices that violate federal law,” John A. Zadrozny, AFL deputy director of oversight and investigations, said in a statement. “Because of this, Macy’s is now going to have to explain to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission why they have chosen to become a civil rights violator. It is our hope that Macy’s takes this opportunity to correct its unlawful and egregious conduct as soon as possible.”)

But then, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ), b) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633) in 1972 and to GS-11 in 1973, gotten me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and had promoted me to GS-12 in 1974, and c) made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— During the last two days, I took time out from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and hand delivered my precinct letter to the homes in the newly drawn DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 that have at least one registered Republican voter. In that letter, I announced my candidacy for Republican Precinct Committeeman. So far, I have delivered to the homes that have been in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and those homes west of the Illinois Prairie Path that were in that precinct 1999-2015. I had great political conversations with voters who were out raking leaves. So far, I have 17 signatures on my nominating petitions. The new Precinct 59 extends to the south and has 370 registered Republican voters in it. I am discouraged from circulating nominating petitions for Republican candidates because far too many of them have blamed me for their defeats. I should write a book about those candidates who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

My new teachers and classmates at Hope gave me a new perspective on life, they helped put me on track to get a college degree. My parents had not attended college.

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20231117/whats-behind-the-surge-in-deadly-crashes-involving-drugged-drivers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois has a drugged driving problem, and it began well before the legalization of recreational marijuana in 2020. That’s among the key findings of a new analysis of the state’s crash statistics and a driver survey conducted by AAA — The Auto Club Group. According to the data, the number of drivers involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for drugs grew from 235 in 2013 to 418 in 2021, a 78% hike. The increase is even greater for cannabinoids such as marijuana — 96 to 203, a 111% leap — but there also have been more drivers testing positive for both prescription and illegal narcotics after deadly crashes. Experts attribute the increase to a number of causes, from easier access to recreational drugs to a lack of driver education about the effects of drugs on their abilities behind the wheel.)

Their parents had college degrees. Because they bought their children cars and paid for their college expenses, their children did not have to and did not work while they were in high school or college. And after they graduated, they got their children jobs. Because my parents were not rich, I had to and I did work while I was in high school and college to buy cars and pay for my college expenses. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and their charmed lives.)

I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I took the Becker CPA Review. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious because none of my coworkers who they had promoted over me had taken the examination, let alone passed it on their first attempt. All of those who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, and/or had less IRS work experience than I had.

However, I saved far less for my retirement a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, d) because they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14, e) because they always ranked me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) because they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans that IRS hired. To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, b) never promoted me beyond GS-12, and c) disallowed my education deductions in 1978.

— ‘DINK’—double income, no kids—couples say being child-free makes them richer and more successful, even if it means putting up with judgement – ELEANOR PRINGLE (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that not only that we never wanted children and that we never tried to have children, but that I lied about trying to have children. They did that even though they had full access to my medical records and they knew all about my many insurance claims for fertility treatments including surgery at Central DuPage Hospital. To punish me because I had requested and gotten assignments to local audits while we were trying to have children, they threw me off audits of IRS in 1989 and assigned me to a 6-month out-of-state audit. All of them were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had adopted, and/or complained about the high cost of raising children. All of them were beyond furious that my wife had a good job and that we went on vacations after her four business trips each year to luxury resorts across America.)

Because I am all of the aforesaid, and because I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and have lived in Wheaton since 1978, my Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in painting me as being antisemitic.

When I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972, it came from what I had earned working for IRS and for Firestone Stores. When I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, it came from want I earned working for IRS. When I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, it came from the proceeds from selling my studio condo. When my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978, it came from her savings. When my wife and I had 915 Cove Court in Wheaton built in 1984, it came from the proceeds of selling 1017 East Harrison. When we bought a small unit at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville in late 2020, we paid for it with our savings. When we bought a much larger unit at Iron Gate early this year, we paid for it with proceeds of selling our smaller unit and with money that I inherited in 2022.)

https://wirepoints.org/newsguard-part-of-the-government-media-censorship-complex-promoted-by-chicago-tribune-to-combat-misinformation-wirepoints/
(FRM THE ARTICLE: A report by Media Research Center found showed that NewsGuard has for years rated left-leaning, establishment news sites consistently higher than conservative news sites. I can personally attest to that bias. I subscribed to NewsGuard over recent months to see for myself. Its bias is brazen in its 0 to 100 rankings for credibility, with 100 being best. These rankings may have changed a bit since I unsubscribed, but I, too, saw that left-leaning and establishment sights got far higher rankings than comparable conservative ones. The left’s Axios, for example, which actually tells you what progressive viewpoint you are supposed to think is important in every article, got a perfect 100. Fox got 69.5 but CNN got 80. Radically left Mother Jones got 87.5 but the conservative Federalist got a horrible 12.5. Our local Cook County Record, which is excellent though leans a bit conservative, got a paltry 32. The ridiculously biased and widely ridiculed Politifact got a perfect 100. The list goes on and on.)

Anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout a) that all the jobs that you had were bad jobs, b) that you did not get better jobs because of you had many serious faults and shortcomings, c) that you were nevertheless grossly overpaid, and d) that they would never stoop to take the jobs that you took.

My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant and never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, almost always worked second jobs (playing the piano, delivering eggs, working in an A&W) to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Highland councilman is expected to be stripped of his precinct committee position after publicly endorsing the town’s Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate in the upcoming general election. Lake County Republican Chairman and Congressional candidate Randy Niemeyer confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be removing Highland Councilman Mark Schocke, R-3, from the precinct committee after Schocke appeared in a campaign mailer endorsing current Highland Clerk-Treasurer Mark Herak. Herak is running against Republican Kathy Camp-Burke. Because Schocke was appointed to the precinct, he can be removed at the County Chair’s discretion and not go through a hearing process as an elected committeeman would, Niemeyer said. He said he hadn’t executed the order as of Wednesday afternoon, but only because he hadn’t had the chance. Niemeyer said his decision to remove Schocke isn’t personal; it’s just that he has a party to protect.)

Thet stress that I only his barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT was only 24. I should write a book about my critic/opponents. I would focus on where the money came from to pay for their bachelor’s degree.

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats say “It may be that the only solution to House chaos is true cooperation between parties.”
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20231021/it-may-be-that-the-only-solution-to-house-chaos-is-true-cooperation-between-parties
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight Republicans forced the current crisis in the House when they engineered the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 5. But Democrats, remember, are not blameless. Any reasonably informed observer could have foreseen that when a small cabal of extremists managed to depose their party’s leader with no plan for a successor and no likely option waiting in the wings, trouble lurked for the entire body. The GOP chaos may have provided a few temporary partisan chuckles for Democrats, not one of whom lifted a finger to try to rescue McCarthy, but the situation facing the country now is not at all funny.)

LIBERTY NATION
— A Migrant Windfall: Nine Grand Each for Housing in Chicago. Biden demands loans and credit cards for illegals – so much for sustainable. – Joe Schaeffer
https://www.libertynation.com/a-migrant-windfall-nine-grand-each-for-housing-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Americans struggle mightily to cope with the buckling effects of inflation on food, gasoline, and other necessities, the benefits for illegal migrant newcomers keep piling up. The state of Illinois is funding temporary housing for migrants, providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over six months. How many Americans could use a $9,000 housing stipend right about now? “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” Cristina Pacione-Zayas, chief of staff to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, told the Chicago’s Fox 32 TV station October 13. As is so often the case, Democrat notions of the “ideal” results of their feckless policies are failing to materialize. In New York City, where illegal migrants have become a crushing burden on the blue-run government, the new arrivals are simply not working. . .Chicago Democrats are starting to realize that their empty platitudes about welcoming the world to America are unaffordable, something any responsible adult should have realized from the beginning.)
