— Gun owners describe to Pew survey why they own their weapons – Jennifer Harper
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/aug/20/inside-beltway-gun-owners-describe-why-they-own-th/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A sign of the times, perhaps: Gun owners in the United States continue to cite “protection” as the major reason they have a gun, according to a new Pew Research Center poll which reveals that 32% of Americans say they personally own a gun. Political persuasion plays a role. “About half of conservative Republicans (51%) say they own a gun. That compares with 38% of moderate and liberal Republicans, 24% of conservative and moderate Democrats, and 16% of liberal Democrats,” an analysis of the findings said. “While a sizable majority of gun owners (71%) say they enjoy having a gun, an even larger share (81%) say they feel safer owning a gun,” the analysis noted. The survey found that 72% of owners advise that “protection” is their major motivation — and it surpasses the shares of gun owners who cite other reasons for gun ownership — such as use in hunting, fishing, sports shooting or to satisfy a job requirement. “Gun ownership is far more common among residents of rural areas (47%) than among people living in suburbs (30%) or urban areas (20%). Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (45%) are far more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners (20%) to report owning a gun,” the findings continued. Meanwhile, just 12% of the gun owners said they were worried about having a gun in the home.)

— Every parent should fight back vs. the left’s war on merit – Karol Markowicz (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.)
https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/every-parent-should-fight-back-vs-the-lefts-war-on-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It used to be obvious that merit is part of achieving the American dream. But like it’s doing to so many self-evident things, the left is attempting to destroy this idea as it pursues a Sovietesque system of “equity.” Parents might not see merit’s decline as a more pressing concern than their children being told they can be any gender they choose from day to day. Most kids are academically average. Why fight over merit when there are so many other ideological fights to be had? Parents have to see merit as part and parcel of the left’s push to impose its ridiculous concepts on our kids. The idea that everyone can have an equal outcome has been tried again and again in failed socialist countries. When the left succeeds in ending merit in a school, you can be sure the rest of the woke ideas parents abhor have already taken over the curriculum. Beyond that, our schools’ loss of rigor has dumbed down our country, and the retreat from pursuing merit has slowed success for so many kids.)

— Democrats say “Ramaswamy’s Faith Singled Out in DeSantis Super PAC Memo. An opposition research memo suggests that Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been gaining on Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in some polls, “was very much ingrained in India’s caste system.” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-desantis-documents.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The document’s first paragraph, addressing Mr. Ramaswamy’s past support for inheritance taxes, draws a link between that policy position and his Hindu upbringing as the son of Indian immigrants. “Ramaswamy — a Hindu who grew up visiting relatives in India and was very much ingrained in India’s caste system — supports this as a mechanism to preserve a meritocracy in America and ensure everyone starts on a level playing field,” the document states. . .Asked to comment on the reason for highlighting Mr. Ramaswamy’s religion and background, the super PAC’S chief executive, Chris Jankowski, said in a statement: “We are highlighting that his philosophy of government is a direct reflection of his life experience. When his parents moved here from India, they had an 85 percent inheritance tax. In fact, his support of the inheritance tax is connected to the argument he makes in his book against meritocracy.”)
— Democrats say “Courts Need to Protect Press Freedoms.” Since 2000, my critics/opponents have shouted at the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) that because I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, they have the power to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, they have the power to dictate what I include and what I do not include in those newsletters. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have taken and continue to take against me since 2000.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/20/opinion/kansas-press-freedom.html
— Democrats say “The 6 Kinds of Republican Voters.” If you are a Republican, what kind are you? I am a “Traditional Conservative,” but my critics/opponents to the left of me demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “Right Wing.” Since at least at least the 1970s, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican have ever-increasingly been “Moderate Establishment.” They reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other planks in the Republican Party platform. They ever-increasingly focus on driving out of the Republican Party Traditional Conservatives and Right Wingers out of the Republican Party. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/17/upshot/six-kinds-of-republican-voters.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Moderate Establishment (14%). Highly educated, affluent, socially moderate or even liberal and often outright Never Trump. The Traditional Conservatives (26%). Old-fashioned economic and social conservatives who oppose abortion and prefer corporate tax cuts to new tariffs. They don’t love Mr. Trump, but they do support him. The Right Wing (26%). They watch Fox News and Newsmax. They’re “very conservative.” They’re disproportionately evangelical. They believe America is on the brink of catastrophe. And they love Mr. Trump more than any other group. The Blue Collar Populists (12%). They’re mostly Northern, socially moderate, economic populists who hold deeply conservative views on race and immigration. Not only do they back Mr. Trump, but he himself probably counted as one a decade ago. The Libertarian Conservatives (14%). These disproportionately Western and Midwestern conservatives value small government. They’re relatively socially moderate and isolationist, and they’re on the lower end of Trump support compared with other groups. The Newcomers (8%). They don’t look like Republicans. They’re young, diverse and moderate. But these disaffected voters like Democrats and the “woke” left even less.)
— How electable are you? Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters shout that if you are a Republican, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the less electable that you are. I share the following demographics with Trump: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, our ancestors have been in America for a long time, married, non-poor, draft-avoider, and gun-owner.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It comes as the party controls both of Indiana’s U.S. Senate seats, seven of the state’s nine congressional districts, has supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly and holds more than 90% of county-elected offices across the state. It also controls the governor’s office, and numerous Republicans are vying for the nomination to replace GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb, who cannot run again because of term limits. In 2019, 19 mayoral offices in Indiana flipped to Republicans, including in many Democratic strongholds such as Kokomo and Muncie. “The Indiana Republican Party is strong. And I believe that if we continue to deliver results that matter, Hoosiers will continue to place their trust in us and elect and reelect Republicans long into the future,” Hupfer said.)

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee Meets without Drama of No Confidence Vote Against Chairman Don Tracy – John Lopez
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/08/19/ilrscc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, August 17, Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair took place. The various festivities by the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee (SCC), the governing body for Illinois Republicans under the leadership of Chairman Don Tracy included the August meeting of the SCC, where Tracy met with the 17 Republican state central committeepersons, the governing body of the Illinois Republican Party, plus various elected and appointed Republican officials. But unlike the last SCC meeting in April, when a “no confidence” vote on Chairman Don Tracy was called for and taken in executive session, and written up in several publications including McHenry County Blog, no such action was taken at the August SCC meeting, the first time the SCC met since April. Indeed, in the run-up to Thursday’s SCC meeting, there wasn’t even talk about a no confidence vote against Chairman Tracy, given the results of last November’s general election and the results of the April 4 elections went against conservative/grassroots candidates (with the exception of McHenry County-based School District 158). So has the grassroots conservatives given up on replacing Chairman Tracy? Or was all this talk of a grassroots conservative rebellion against Chairman Tracy just that, talk with a signal boost from Illinois Review? Or is it something else? It’s definitely something else going on, and here is what I’ve been able to piece together. As was written elsewhere, SCC Chairman Tracy formed a “Grassroots Task Force” of the SCC and tapped 14th Congressional District SCC Member Larry Smith, who’s the LaSalle County Republican Party chairman to lead the Grassroots Task Force. 8th Congressional District SCC Member Dean White of St. Charles was appointed as a co-chair/vice-chair, but the leader is Smith. From mid spring to late July, grassroots activists have been meeting with Smith and White to organize this SCC Grassroots Task Force into something productive, and not be a failed “outreach” effort as so many SCC initiatives became in the past. Political consultant Mr. Val Ojeda, who also publishes a blog he launched last December called The Illinois Republican, took a leading role to help Grassroots Task Force Chairman Smith organize the SCC Grassroots Task Force, including naming its members from among the grassroots. Ojeda stressed how it was important all sections of Illinois be represented on the Grassroots Task Force, meaning members from Chicago, Chicagoland suburbs/exurbs and downstate. In a July 27 op-ed on The Illinois Republican, Ojeda published three appointments to the Illinois Republican Party’s Grassroots Task Force, the first being the Illinois Freedom Alliance, which is based out of Moline and includes activists Annette Parchert, Nancy Hayes, Jennifer Luebbers, George Weckbacher and others. So the Moline-based Illinois Freedom Alliance represents downstate. Representing the city of Chicago is Christine Shanahan McGovern (R, Mt. Greenwood), who unsuccessfully ran for the state senate last fall, losing a close race to 5-term incumbent state Senator Bill Cunningham (D, Beverly).)

This is unchanged from the $2.2 million mark recorded in Schwab’s 2022 survey, but still well below the high mark of $2.6 million recorded in its pre-pandemic 2020 survey. Schwab’s latest survey also reveals that roughly half of respondents say they already feel wealthy today, despite having an average net worth of only $560,000. This total represents only a quarter of the consensus threshold of being rich in America. So, what’s going on here?)

ST. LOUIS PUBLIC RADIO
— Democrats and RINOs say “Illinois GOP hopes for unity — not Trump — during State Fair Republican Day.” Why didn’t all the Republican presidential candidates converge on Springfield yesterday? Illinois will sent 64 of the 2,467 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention on a winner take-all basis. 1,234 votes are needed to win. 64 is 5% (1 in 20) of 1,234. Are the no-shows because polling shows that Trump is going to win those 64 delegates no matter what happens?

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “State GOP mostly steers clear of Trump, vows to rebuild after big losses. Illinois Republicans on Thursday vowed they are rebuilding and trying to gear up support in the suburbs ahead of next year’s elections — and most are steering clear of delving into the effects of former President Donald Trump’s fourth criminal indictment.” Trump? Who’s he? GOP focuses on rebuilding at State Fair — not party’s indicted presidential frontrunner. Most Illinois Republicans didn’t mention the party’s indicted presidential frontrunner by name. “Why is it always about Donald Trump?” Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie asked reporters. “Here we are in Illinois. Let’s talk about Illinois.”

— Democrats Kick Loyal Black Voters to Back of the Bus on Immigration, School Overcrowding and Crime (COMMENT: Democrats certainly did not kick my Black subordinate to the back of the bus. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old so that they could give him my job and my preferred corner office, and that is exactly what they did. They would not have done that if I had was a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done that if I had not been an active member since 1988 in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

Could he have been indicted by, say Arkansas, for lying in a courtroom? In the end the issue was resolved and Clinton admitted wrongdoing, paid a fine and lost his law license. Maybe you remember the headline: In a Deal, Clinton Avoids Indictment. Today, the Democrats have thrown the DoJ and now a Georgia DA at President Trump. Could this be a case of “be careful what you wish for”?)

EPOCH TIMES
— Biden Admin Working to Bring Racial Equity to Towns, Suburbs. HUD says local communities must take action to ‘affirmatively further’ diversity. – Kevin Stocklin (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that the higher the percentage of Whites who are in your state, county, township, municipality, and/or school district, the higher the percentage of Republicans are there who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Since 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have stressed that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, a) no Blacks lived there, b) it was overwhelmingly Protestant, and c) it was overwhelmingly German American. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/us/analysis-biden-admin-working-to-bring-racial-equity-to-towns-suburbs-5471333
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Actions by the Biden administration to expand racial equity are making their way into America’s suburbs and towns. The Department of Housing and Development (HUD) is implementing a new program that would compel any town, city, or county that accepts federal housing grants to “proactively take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities, and foster inclusive communities free from discrimination.” The program, called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), is a reinstatement of HUD’s 2015 AFFH Rule, originally introduced by the Obama administration but repealed in 2020 by the Trump administration, which criticized the policy’s “onerous burden on localities and federal overreach into local housing policy.” Under the Biden policy, “in order to qualify for community development block grant funds, [communities] have to prepare and submit a plan to demonstrate that they are ‘affirmatively furthering fair housing,’” Howard Husock, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “The Poor Side of Town,” a critique of American housing policies, told The Epoch Times. “They will have to pass muster with regulators at HUD, who will review the steps they’re taking and decide whether they measure up.” Among the things that HUD will look for, Mr. Husock said, is if low-income housing “is being built in ‘high-opportunity neighborhoods’; is it being built close to high-performing schools; is close to libraries or supermarkets; with public facilities being located in ways that best serve those of a low income.” According to a statement by HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, “Hardworking families are blocked from purchasing homes because of the color of their skin.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next two days at the Illinois State Fair will feature political rallies led by both political parties as the countdown to next year’s election season marches forward. Democrats will kick off action on Wednesday with Governor’s Day and Republicans follow on Thursday. Outside of the fair, the parties will hold meetings in downtown Springfield including the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch at the Bank of Springfield Center. There, Illinois Democrats will be joined by guest speaker U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, starting at 9 a.m. before heading to the fairgrounds. Republican’s time on the Director’s Lawn will be preceded with several events, among them the Republican County Chairs’ Association president reception on Wednesday before a joint meeting with RCCA and the State Central Committee Thursday morning at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. For Democrats and Republicans alike, the fair days and meetings provide opportunities to build up its campaign finance war chests heading into 2024. No statewide candidates will be featured in next year’s election, but votes for president, U.S. Congress, the Illinois House of Representatives and a handful of state Senate seats among other local races will take place. The political days fall just more than seven months away from the March primary, but also less than three weeks from when candidates can begin circulating nomination papers. Congressional, state legislature and other local candidates begin this process on Sept. 5. Presidential candidates start on Oct. 27. All candidates have until Dec. 4 to file the papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections. . .Illinois Republicans have their work cut out for them, not holding power in any of the state’s three branches of government in addition to a smaller pool of political backers for major campaign funding. The state fair represents an opportunity for the party to make up ground in the funding battle and later support its candidates come election time. Who the party chooses to back for the White House has not been clear at this point, but it could have to put its weight behind a familiar name. National polls indicate if the presidential election were to take place today, it would be a 2020 rematch of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Already not a popular figure in Illinois, losing the state by more than 15 points in both 2016 and 2020, Trump is coming off his fourth indictment this time for allegedly tinkering with 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictments of the former commander-in-chief have prompted varying responses from GOP lawmakers in the state, some of which have pledged continued support to Trump and others to say move on. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has claimed investigations led by the U.S. Department of Justice into Trump have been politically motivated. “The American people will not tolerate this attack from Biden’s DOJ on our electoral process or our system of justice, where justice is supposed to be blind,” she said in a statement earlier this month. The party’s 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Darren Bailey, rose in prominence among Republicans before the primary thanks in part to an endorsement from the former president. Still, he and other candidates speaking at last year’s fair were mum on Trump and instead focused on what they described as failures by Democrats to control crime and spending. That backing from Trump, in the end, proved in some ways to bite Bailey in the general election where Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker won a second term with comfortable margins.)

UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU in 1969 when I was 20, Loyola in 1972 when was 23, DePaul in 1976 when I was 27, and IIT in 1992 when I was 43; but because of my many aforesaid bad demographics, they would not admit me today if I was 18, 20, 23, or 43.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could never be corrected to 20/20. I have always had partial red/green color blindness. Since grade school I have not been able to run because a bone disease. Because my parents lacked money, I had to work my way through college.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— DuPage GOP fundraising sinks to $26.48 in second quarter of 2023. (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, if not already, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) leaders will officially blame conservative Republicans for DCRCC’s fundraising and other problems, and especially blame conservative Republicans like me a) who support the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and/or b) who share lots of Trump’s demographics including heterosexual, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or who have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about those DCRCC leaders who since 2000 have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for DCRCC’s problems and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155694-dupage-gop-fundraising-sinks-to-26-48-in-second-quarter-of-2023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Republican Central Committee has had virtually no funds donated to it in the second quarter of 2023. According to the report, the committee received a total of $26.48 in contributions during the three-month period. The details were released in the DuPage County Republican Central Committee D-2 Quarterly Report to the Illinois State Board of Elections covering the period from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. “The June 2023 Quarterly Report must include all committee activity from April 1, 2023, up to and including June 30, 2023,” the Illinois State Board of Elections stated on its website. “This Quarterly Report must be filed by all active political committees, regardless of whether the committee had any activity during that period of time.” The lack of fundraising comes amid Republican in-fighting over donations to the Democratic DuPage County Chair Deb Conroy from notable Republicans including DuPage County Board Member Sam Tornatore and former DuPage County Board member Donald Puchalski. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni, was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. DuPage GOP Chair Jim Zay explained away the donations to Conroy in a letter to the county’s GOP faithful. Zay has steadfastly refused to criticize fellow Republicans who financially and materially supported Democrats in the once-Republican stronghold as GOP hopes and funds have plummeted. In a letter to the DuPage GOP, Zay emphasized the need for unity within the party and calls for an end to public criticism of fellow Republicans, stating that it only weakens the party and hinders its ability to expand its base. The statement came after Tornatore and Puchalski were outed by the DuPage Policy Journal for making campaign donations to Conroy, drawing attention and controversy within the party. Now, activists have turned their sights on Zay himself, who oversaw the paltry fundraising effort. In an appearance at the Downers Grove Republican Township Organization, Zay and Tornatore explained away the material support for party opponents. “Chairman Zay’s remarks focused on coming together as Republicans and not dwell in the past,” Noel Manley, a Downers Grove Republican Committeeman, told DuPage Policy Journal after the July 10 meeting. “Both justified their actions as efforts necessary to protect the budgets of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. “However, what struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated in their explanations. Specifically, their justifications were peppered with comments such as, ‘I didn’t have to be here tonight.’ In addition, questions and comments raised by committeemen regarding the lack of support in recent elections, and contributions to Democrat events were simply dismissed or ignored. In fact, there was no effort to demonstrate any humility or contriteness regarding these matters.”)
— The fact that the DuPage GOP raised only $25.00 in Q2 reflects the quality of leadership at the county level. – Noel Manley (COMMENT: I should write a book about DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my leadership of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois the most.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155698-manley-the-fact-that-the-dupage-gop-raised-only-25-00-in-q2-reflects-the-quality-of-leadership-at-the-county-level
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Noel Manley, a Downers Grove Republican committeeman, has expressed strong criticism of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee’s fundraising efforts for the second quarter of 2023. The committee reported raising only $25.00 during the three-month period, leading Manley to question the quality of leadership within the county’s GOP. “The fact that the DuPage GOP raised only $25.00 in Q2 reflects the quality of leadership at the county level,” Manley told the DuPage Policy Journal. “The job of DuPage GOP leadership is to serve as the number one booster for raising money, recruiting quality candidates, and setting a vision for future Republican efforts at the county, state, and federal levels. Sadly, $25.00 is not going to get the job done.” According to the report, the committee received a total of $26.48 in contributions during the three-month period. The details were released in the DuPage County Republican Central Committee D-2 Quarterly Report to the Illinois State Board of Elections covering the period from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. Manley is one of several critics of DuPage GOP Chairman Jim Zay who refused to denounce fellow Republicans amid revelations that key members of the DuPage County Republican leadership have been funding the campaigns of Democrats. In response, Zay said he identifies as a “Reagan Republican,” and believes in the principle of being a “Big Tent” Party, accommodating all Republicans regardless of their varying views on certain issues noting “true leadership is bringing people together.” Zay’s comments run counter to his performance over a disastrous three years in which local Republicans have lost several elections. “Finger-pointing and fighting is not the answer and that path will only continue to election losses,” Zay said in a letter addressing criticism of three high-ranking officials who donated to Democrats, DuPage Policy Journal previously reported. “I am not saying that anyone should change their principles but telling others to change theirs doesn’t work either. If we don’t come together as a Party then we will be destined to be the minority party for years to come.” Zay’s comments came after DuPage Policy Journal revealed donations to Democratic DuPage County Chair Deb Conroy from notable Republicans including DuPage County Board Member Sam Tornatore and former DuPage County Board member Donald Puchalski. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. Tornatore also provided $250 to “activist prosecutor” Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s election efforts. Puchalski, who was a board member at the time, chipped in $500 to the week prior to Foxx’s election in 2016. Since Foxx assumed that role, Chicago has become crime-ridden as a direct result of her soft-on-crime policies that have encouraged not prosecuting or incarcerating known serial criminals responsible for even the worst crimes, such as murder.)
— Safe Suburbs USA on Chicago shifting immigrant crisis to suburbs: ‘Is your community one that is agreeing to do this?’ (COMMENT: Do you live in DuPage County? How many of the 32,000+ illegals who already live in DuPage County live your DuPage County District, in your township, in your municipality, in your municipal district, in your school district, and in your precinct? How many illegals are Democrat and RINO officials sending there?)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155692-safe-suburbs-usa-on-chicago-shifting-immigrant-crisis-to-suburbs-is-your-community-one-that-is-agreeing-to-do-this
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Safe Suburbs USA is questioning which suburban communities Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is planning on partnering with to punt the city’s illegal immigrant population. As of 2023, Chicago’s sanctuary status has attracted over 800,000 undocumented residents. “Mayor Johnson says he’s been in dialogue with suburban cities to help share the migrant burden,” Safe Suburbs USA said on Twitter. “Johnson says he sees suburban support on the horizon. Is your community one that is agreeing to do this?” Johnson noted in a recent press conference that he had been in discussions with suburban governments to accept the border crossers. “We see some real support on the horizon,” Johnson said at the press conference, Chicago City Wire reported. The Migration Policy Institute reports DuPage County, where Safe Suburbs USA, is based is already home to over 32,000 illegal immigrants, which is over three times the 10,000 reported in each of the counties of DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Will in 2014 by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. The bulk of the undocumented population comprises those aged 35 to 44. But that figure pales in comparison to Chicago’s staggering population of 829,000, according to NBC News, which also reports Chicago’s open arms policies have given illegal immigrants a soft landing spot. The city has taken to setting up temporary shelters, sometimes in police stations where allegations of sexual impropriety have arisen, and committing millions of taxpayer dollars to provide for those in the country illegally. While former mayor Lori Lightfoot spoke welcoming words to those incoming she later changed her tune when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending border crosses to Chicago and other Democrat-controlled sanctuary cities by the busload. Johnson has similarly toed a line between welcoming the undocumented to the city – where there is no longer room – while condemning the politics of those seeking to put an end to illegal border crossings. Thus, Johnson’s move to push the undocumented to the suburbs.)

— The Remaking of America. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault. – Victor Davis Hanson
https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/07/the-remaking-of-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath. The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a mere decade ago. Here are 10 upheavals that the Left has successfully wrought. . .Race, Not Class. Racial inequality and lack of parity are due to “whiteness.” Racial quotas, segregated dorms, graduations, workshops, and safe spaces are exempt from civil rights statutes given they are necessary to achieve equity. Integration and assimilation are the opiates of the masses. Apartheid and segregation are misunderstood modalities, and thus, if enlightened, sometimes necessary corrective measures. Reparations are to supersede ineffective affirmative action. Wokeness liberates us to see how race explains everything in America, past and present. At universities and in popular culture “proportional representation” of various ethnicities and races is no longer sufficient remedy. Instead reparatory hiring and admissions are required to atone for prior generations of discrimination. It is taboo to suggest that cultural conditions not just race accounts for inequality. Everything from meritocracy to promptness to physical fitness is racist in nature, requiring DEI experts to expose and inform about the systemic nature of American racism.)

— Think tanks file suit to block Biden administration’s plan to cancel $39B in student loans. New Civil Liberties Alliance filed the lawsuit in Michigan Friday on behalf of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Cato Institute. – Landon Mion (COMMENT: If I had gotten a student loan to pay for my 1bachelor’s degree in 1970, I would have paid it off quickly with the money that I earned working for Firestone Stores 1970-1972 and for IRS 1971-1980. Further, my grades would have been much better and I would gotten much better paying jobs. But as it was, I worked my way through college and still had enough money to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile in 1967, to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger. Granted, tuition was much less back then, but I avoided room and board costs by living with my parents in Crete while I a) took classes at UIC 1966-1968, b) worked for the Park Forest Post Office weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “A Jan. 6 attendee’s (Daniel Butler) election speaks to Illinois GOP’s last stand in Will County.” One could compare and contrast Will County with DuPage County. Butler represents Crete, Park Forest, and University Park. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I worked in Park Forest 1966-1969. I lived in University Park 1972-1976.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-will-county-jan-6-daniel-butler-20230805-2h7cxzbwhjg5rnkdpydne6uooi-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the Will County Board decided to send four of its members to the National Association of Counties’ legislative conference in Washington this past February, the contingent included new Republican board member Daniel Butler of Frankfort. The taxpayer-funded trip for the conference, which featured panels on federal policy headlined by a speech from President Joe Biden, wasn’t Butler’s first time to the nation’s capital. Little more than two years earlier, prior to being elected to office, Butler was in Washington attending then-President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally. Butler joined the march to the U.S. Capitol but he was not charged and he said he did not enter the building as insurgents staged a deadly insurrection in a failed attempt to stop the counting of Electoral College votes that made Biden the nation’s president. Displaying a long history on social media of propagating elaborate and widely debunked conspiracy theories — ranging from pandemic vaccines linked with computer chip technology to a QAnon-backed tale contending Italian satellites were used in 2020 to switch votes from Trump to Biden — Butler won a seat on the Will County Board on Nov. 8. Butler’s election was assisted by more than $3,300 worth of campaign mailings paid by the Illinois Republican Party, campaign records show. The Illinois GOP did not respond to a request for comment. Butler, a Republican precinct committeeman who owns a general contractor business, a martial arts studio and a cabinet distributorship, also chairs the conservative Lincoln-Way Area Freedom Coalition. He listed his campaign priorities as “freedom of speech, 2nd Amendment, Constitutionalist, Fiscal conservatism and Right to Life.” He won the second of two seats in the newly drawn 3rd County Board district with 9,623 votes, representing Frankfort, Crete, Monee, Park Forest, Steger and University Park. Even after his election, Butler expressed fears about the security of mail-in ballots being counted post-Election Day, telling a right-wing, faux newspaper publication, “I’d like to think that after they get this count done, that I won’t lose.” Butler, 58, was one of at least 57 people across the country who were involved in events at the U.S. Capitol that day and who later campaigned for elected office, according to a count by Politico.)

But that doesn’t mean he and his team aren’t doing anything. His administration took several moves this week to hit American traditions including archery classes in schools, incandescent light bulbs and muscle cars.)

The more illegals that there are in America, the more that wages paid for bad jobs are driven down. In the 1960s and 1970s, with wages paid for bad jobs, I was able to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, e) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, f) buy a new town home in 1972, g) etc. With wages paid for bad jobs today, I would never be able to do that today.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— OUTSTANDING: Judge freezes Illinois law targeting anti-abortion pregnancy centers – Jon Asplund
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/illinois-law-targeting-anti-abortion-pregnancy-center-halted
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Free speech won today in the Land of Lincoln — pro-life advocates across Illinois can breathe a sigh of relief they won’t be pursued for ‘misinformation’ by Attorney General Kwame Raoul,” Peter Breen, executive vice president and head of litigation for the Thomas More Society, said in the statement. “Across the nation, pregnancy help ministries are being discriminated against by laws that target their life-affirming work,” Breen said. “The injunction granted today sends a strong, clear message to the country that the First Amendment protects pro-life speech.”)
— Democrats ask “Are taxpayers getting their money’s worth on pensions?” Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, when I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, my critics/opponents have been furious. They got even more furious in 1997, when I was 49 years old, and starting getting a CSRS pension, currently $63,144/year. In my defense, I paid in 7% of my GAO salary 1980-1997, of my IRS salary 1971-1980, and of my Post Office salary 1966-1969. In my defense, my CSRS pension would be much more if my Democrat superiors had not wasted my career and forced me to retire 6 years early. I my defense, a) I earned job-related degrees in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

WJPF
— Democrats say “INTERVIEW WITH TONY MCCOMBIE.” Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that they want illegals because they want cheap labor and bad jobs are going unfilled. Illegal immigration drives down salaries and especially for bad jobs. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always been overpaid because the jobs I took were paid more because they were bad jobs and therefore, more had to be paid to fill them. I worked for GAO as an Analyst 1980-1997, for IRS as a Revenue Officer 1971-1980, for Firestone Stores as a gasoline-pumper 1971-1972, for Firestone Stores as a Retail Sales Manager 1970-1971, for the Post Office as a carrier/clerk 1966-1969, and for SS Kresge as a dish-washer 1964-1966.
https://www.wjpf.com/episode/newsradio-wjpf-interview-with-tony-mccombie-august-2-2023/
(Democrats say: McCombie adds context: House Republican Leader Tony McCombie put perspective on a new law that allows DACA residents to become police officers. At a time when police departments are having a hard time recruiting officers, McCombie said the new law allows “DACA folks who were born here, who have been here for 30 years… who have the legal ability to purchase and possess a firearm” to apply to become police officers. “So, these folks are not the folks that are coming here illegally,” she told Tom Miller on WJPF, adding that’s why “every single Republican” voted for the bill.

POLITICO ILLINOIS

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) are ever-increasingly succeeding in driving conservatives out of the IRP, that is, driving platform Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving the IRP’s base out of the IRP, that is, destroying the IRP.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/03/mayors-message-to-media-chill-00109591
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, where Democrats control all the top-tier elected seats, the GOP is plagued by intraparty tensions as the right-wing arm of the party has tried to take control of the current leadership. Making it worse: The party has also lost some of its major donors to Florida, including former Gov. Bruce Rauner and billionaire Ken Griffin. That’s put the Illinois GOP in a financial bind, forcing it to get creative in attracting big donors. Earlier this month, for example, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, headlined a fundraiser for the Illinois GOP.)

AMERICAN FREE PRESS
— Confronting Systemic Racism – James Edwards
https://americanfreepress.net/confronting-systemic-racism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The system in the United States of America is at war with white people and our families. As stark as it may sound, the cold hard truth is that the central organizing principle of the American system is that white people are unspeakably and incorrigibly evil and must be removed from the face of the Earth as fast as is expediently possible. It breaks down like this: White people are unspeakably evil. No matter what we do or don’t do, whites will always be evil. Our very existence harms non-whites. Therefore, whites must be ignored, denounced, humiliated, handicapped, disadvantaged, punished, and even replaced by non-whites through immigration, with the final goal of eventually removing all white people from the face of the earth through mixing or violence. It can be a struggle to convince our “conservative” friends and family that their own government, media, and institutions really do hate us and consider us the enemy. Most will admit that the government and the media go a bit overboard with the diversity stuff but will deny that it’s all that bad. “Sure, there’s some favoritism toward non-whites in some areas, but to say the system hates white people is over the top.” So, I thought I’d make a list of some questions you can ask to help them see the light. Here are just a few.)

(FROM THE ROUNDUP: U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today announced that his re-election campaign has been endorsed by 22 Republican Central Committee leaders from across the 12th Congressional District. Bost’s coalition of support includes the State Central Committeewoman and Deputy State Central Committeeman for IL-12, as well as 21 Republican county chairs. This newest list of Republican endorsements comes just days after Bost announced support from over 100 local GOP leaders. “These GOP Central Committee chairs know how much work went into turning Southern Illinois into the Republican stronghold it is today,” said Bost. “And they know we put it all at risk when conservatives start attacking each other rather than taking it to Biden and the liberals who are trying to defeat our values. I appreciate the overwhelming support of our local party leaders and will continue working with them to preserve the strong, unified, conservative movement that has served our region so well.”)

In September 2020, he disembarked from Air Force One to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s protest anthem “Fortunate Son,” a song calling out the ability of the privileged to avoid the Vietnam War while the less fortunate could not. Trump was born into wealth and has been labeled a draft dodger for a claim of foot bone spurs that enabled him to skip military service.)

https://legalinsurrection.com/2023/07/workshop-at-ut-austin-will-teach-students-how-to-check-their-monosexual-privilege/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Monosexual privilege is defined as a “system of unearned advantages” afforded to straight people at the expense of people with bi, pan and fluid sexual identities, according to a Michigan State University gender and sexuality glossary. “These advantages and rights are so embedded into all dimensions of society that they are taken for granted and practically unrecognizable to heterosexual people,” the glossary states. The UT-Austin workshop, scheduled for August, is designed to affirm LGBTQIA+ people and allyship and warn against “heterosexual” and “monosexual” privilege; it’s one of several LGBTQIA+ themed workshops slated for next month.)

https://www.tpusa.com/live/nyc-initiative-offers-500000-race-based-journalism-scholarship-to-increase-diversity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Diversity initiatives, scholarship programs, and admissions standards have all been called into public question following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that struck down affirmative action. Other standards have quickly taken the place of the primarily race-based college admissions standards however, dubbed “adversity scores,” these new mechanisms rate students on a “disadvantage scale.” This scale rewards students with “disadvantaged” backgrounds with a higher score, and thus, a better shot at making the final cut. Many speculate, however, that following the Supreme Court’s effective termination of affirmative action, other race-based initiatives and incentives may be on their way out — or to court.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that I have run Trump’s campaign in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County since 2015. They almost succeeded in rudely stopping me from reporting on the recent DeSantis event in Elmhurst. They have rudely stopped me from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2021, a role that I had since 2005. They rudely ended my bid to be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019. They rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. What more adverse actions will they take against me now? Based on the past, they will ramp up their efforts a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will ramp up their efforts a) to turn Republican candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in my precinct against me and b) to turn everyone else against me.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. After he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, I helped support my mother and brother. My application for a financial hardship draft deferment was approved in early 1971. I lived with my mother and brother and helped support them with money that earned working for a) the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1970-1972 and b) for IRS 1971-1972.

Did any of your ancestors own slaves? None of my ancestors owned slaves. While they all immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. I should write a book about those a) whose ancestors owed slaves AND b) who made me pay the price of AA and DEI the most, that is, who made me pay the most reparations.

My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted at those who are the aforesaid that because of that and because I avoided the draft, because I was grossly overpaid by the federal government, because my wife has always had income, and because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time.
