FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTO OF PITZKER: Democrats acknowledge that “Pritzker donation raises concerns of partisan influence on school board races.” He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Ever-increasingly, Pritzker has the power and he uses that power to determine which candidates win elections in Illinois.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230313/pritzker-donation-raises-concerns-of-partisan-influence-on-school-board-races
— Democrats ask “A presidential campaign preview?” and say “Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits Lake Zurich.” I should write a book about the following who have done the most since 2000 to stop me from a) learning about their events, b) attending their events, and c) reporting on their events: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, c) conservative leaders, and d) religious leaders. I would focus on the aforesaid who have expressed their disapprove of Missouri Synod Lutherans the most.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before a crowd that included former GOP gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey, state Sen. Dan McConchie of Hawthorn Woods and former state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton, the onetime congressman from Kansas offered hints of what candidate Pompeo might say on the campaign trail.)
— Democrats ever-increasingly run education. Ever-increasingly, to send your child to a public school is make your child not only a Democrat, but someone who is anti-heterosexual, anti-parent, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, anti-First and Second Amendments, anti-those who have more money than others, anti-traditional marriage and family, anti-home owners, anti-American nameplate vehicle owners, anti-etc.

NBC5
— Democrats say “Pritzker to Sign Bill Mandating Paid Leave For Nearly All Illinois Workers.” I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for almost 23 years.  I should write a book about those who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most for my having benefitted from the federal government’s employee leave policies. Because of those policies, a) while I worked only part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969, I earned full-time seniority and 1 hour of sick leave for every 20 hours that I worked, b) when I started working for IRS in 1971, my unused sick leave from my postal employment was reinstated, started earning 13 sick days a year, and I soon earned 13 vacation days a year, c) I started earning 26 vacation days a year when I was a GAO employee in 1983, and d) my Civil Service Retirement System pension in higher because I my many unused sick leave days were credited as though I had worked them.

— A group of more than 1,000 migrants, mainly Venezuelan, rushed the border at El Paso, Texas on Sunday. Chaos erupted at the southern border Sunday as hundreds of migrants unsuccessfully attempted to enter into the United States through a crossing that links Mexico and Texas. US officials were able to stop the mass migration effort of people, mostly from Venezuela, that broke through Mexican lines to demand asylum in the US. They were met with barbed wire, barriers and shields, which prevented them from crossing over. – David Propper

COLLEGE FIX
— Concordia University in Ann Arbor portrays itself as being conservative and devoted to its theological beliefs, but in reality, it pushes a woke agenda. – MATT LAMB (COMMENT: The university is affiliated with Missouri Synod. My ancestors on my father’s side were members of the Missouri Synod Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete since 1854. But in 1961, when my father was one of the church’s leaders and I was in the 8th grade in its grade school, the church and its school left the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod. Because of that, to stay with the Missouri Synod, my parents transferred to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and enrolled me in the church’s grade school. They had me confirmed as Missouri Synod Lutheran in 1962. I should write a book about religious discrimination. I would focus on those who have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me the most as being too conservative. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In my defense, I have often stressed that the Missouri Synod is less conservative than the Wisconsin Synod and that my wife of 45 years was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Catholic and that she has always been a devote Catholic.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

THE HILL
— Democrats acknowledge that “As Werfel begins his tenure, there are still many questions as to how he intends to rectify many of the IRS’ numerous shortcomings, especially amid questions about political influence on the agency.” I was one of the last Republicans that IRS and GAO hired. I should write a book about how IRS and GAO act as arms of the Democrat Party. I would focus on the patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in those agencies. In my book, I would draw on a) my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, b) my working for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $109,732-$117,047/year, and c) my working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. I would focus on how IRS and GAO wasted my federal career, took many adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2021, the IRS only answered an abysmal 11 percent of phone calls relating to issues Americans were having with filing their taxes. That means that if you called the IRS for guidance, your call has a 9 in 10 chance of not being picked up.)

YAHOO
— Democrats acknowledge that IRS tax audits “target and burden lower-income families.” Yes, but expect that ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more likely that IRS will audit you: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, childless, non-veteran, gun-owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about why IRS disallowed my education deductions in 1978.

I would focus on those who I have sued and their lawyers. I would focus on those who blame me the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

Our party needs bold leadership if we ever hope to get out of the super minority.” SEE: https://abc7chicago.com/jim-durkin-illinois-house-republican-resigning/12678017/ My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. – Dave Diersen

I should write a book about a) those who I have sued, b) their lawyers, c) the adverse actions that they took against me, and d) why they did that.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

According to this, my life expectancy is only 8 years, that is, when I am 82 years old, that is, in 2031. Putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out every morning reduces my life expectancy a) because it motivates my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes to take adverse actions against me, b) because it causes me lots of stress, c) because it reduces the sleep that I get, and d) because it reduces the exercise that I get.)

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

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She (Haley) suggested to an audience of about 200 that gender education need not begin in schools before middle school, marking a contrast with prospective candidate Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor last year signed legislation forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before fourth grade. . .Though several would-be candidates including Trump were in Iowa last year campaigning for midterm candidates, these first impressions at the outset of the GOP presidential primary are important. That’s especially true as many in the GOP wait to see whether DeSantis proceeds with a White House bid.)

Further, my father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.

I would focus on how they treated me at the event. I would focus on those who treated me like they did not want me there. I would focus on those who treated me like I was not a member of the news media. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) discourage/stop me from speaking with attendees and b) discouraged/stopped me from speaking with attendees. I would focus on how they have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect in my role as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I would focus on those who curry favor with the Democrat news media by failing/refusing to send me media advisories. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I promote an event, the more protesters show up. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who not only reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, but promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

(FROM THE POSTING: A media advisory alerts the media, in a concise manner, to upcoming events (like a press conference). Think of it like an invitation that answers only the important questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. . .The purpose of a media advisory is to announce an upcoming event they may want to attend or cover, such as a press conference, forum, rally, or event to convince them it is worth reporting on. It should be issued 3-5 days in advance of that event. The goal of a media advisory is to give them the information they need to determine whether that event is worth their time to attend, cover, or report on and to convince them to do so.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs have candidates win nonpartisan elections and general elections who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigrations, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The top 10 Democratic presidential candidates for 2024.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/19/top-democrats-2024-ranked/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker Few on this list would seem to be telegraphing their presidential desires — at least in a race without Biden — as strongly as the Illinois governor. His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)

FLORIDA POLITICS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Republicans elect Christian Ziegler as State Chair.” Who do the following want to win the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, and c) the leaders of your Republican county/township/ward party organizations. Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

WFIN

https://wfin.com/fox-political-news/tim-scotts-massive-war-chest-could-give-him-head-start-in-2024-presidential-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)

The Presidents Day visit to a so-far undisclosed location in the Chicago area would represent an escalation of the feud between DeSantis and Pritzker, who has been the focus of some speculation as a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate if President Joe Biden does not seek to be nominated for a second term. In July, Pritzker was keynote speaker for a gathering of Florida Democrats in Tampa where he took aim at the Florida governor. Pritzker assailed DeSantis as “just Donald Trump with a mask on” and, more recently, has attacked the Republican’s policies blocking some teachings of racial and gay curriculum. In delivering his combined State of the State and budget address on Wednesday, though not mentioning DeSantis by name, Pritzker referred to a “virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship” and the right wing who are waging an “ideological battle” that serves to “marginalize people and ideas they don’t like.” In January, Pritzker wrote a letter to the College Board, asking it not to change the advanced placement African American Studies course “in order to fit Florida’s racist and homophobic laws.” The College Board earlier this month said it was revising the AP course to eliminate lessons on Black Lives Matter and the reparations movement. But after the DeSantis administration criticized the curriculum as left leaning and lacking “educational value,” the College Board said the criticism amounted to “slander.” That prompted DeSantis to suggest earlier this week that his state might drop AP classes from its schools. The DeSantis political operation did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons behind the Florida governor’s visit, which is open only to members of the law enforcement community. But a DeSantis speech to Chicago’s FOP Lodge 7, set for an undisclosed location in west suburban Elmhurst, would appear to be aimed at attacking Pritzker and Democrats over outbreaks of violent crime in the city as the mayoral election nears. An invitation to the event said the location would be disclosed to registrants “48 hours prior to the event.” John Catanzara, head of the Chicago police union, as well as the city and state FOP, endorsed Pritzker’s Republican opponent, Darren Bailey, in last year’s governor campaign. The Chicago FOP has endorsed challenger Paul Vallas for Chicago mayor as Lori Lightfoot seeks a second term. Catanzara was not available for comment. A law enforcement source said DeSantis was supposed to talk to the Chicago FOP within the last two months but that event was canceled.)

PRITZKER
— Ron DeSantis’s dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois. Banning books, playing politics with people’s lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are. Every candidate hoping to hold public office in the land of Lincoln should condemn this event.

ELMHURST PATCH
— DeSantis Coming To Elmhurst: Chicago FOP. Chicago police officers have been invited to a “Back the Blue” event. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/desantis-coming-elmhurst-chicago-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to come to Elmhurst on Monday, according to the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police. On Thursday, the organization invited members to see the Republican governor at a yet-to-be-disclosed site in Elmhurst. Doors are set to open at 3:30 p.m. According to the invitation, the location will be revealed 48 hours before the “Back the Blue” event. The invitation said DeSantis would speak about law enforcement. Patch obtained the invitation Thursday afternoon. Organizers apparently did not want to alert the media at this point. The Florida governor’s office referred questions to the Florida Republican Party. Patch left an emailed message for comment with a GOP spokeswoman. At the event, active and retired officers are allowed to attend, but not their spouses. In a message to Patch, Mayor Scott Levin said he had heard DeSantis was coming to town. “I have no confirmed location, but I assume and hope that before Monday, they will coordinate with the city, if there’s a large turnout expected,” the mayor said. DeSantis has called Florida the state “where woke goes to die.” He is widely considered to be running for president. He was once seen as an ally of former President Donald Trump. But Trump has criticized DeSantis over the last few months, most recently calling him “Meatball Ron.”)

The aforesaid blacklisters want the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct to blacklist me.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/02/17/desantis-joins-wild-ride-to-city-hall-00083413
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nasty campaign ads are reaching a fever pitch in the Chicago mayor’s race, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and chameleon Congressman George Santos have emerged as foils to attack Paul Vallas. DeSantis is coming to suburban Elmhurst on Monday to talk to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police in a hush-hush meeting. And Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is using the visit to attack Paul Vallas, who’s been endorsed by the FOP. “Paul Vallas must condemn the FOP for inviting Ron DeSantis, a dangerous and xenophobic authoritarian to our state,” Garcia said in a statement.)

— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats run America and talk and act like they believe that Republicans who are the following are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all: heterosexual, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, married, non-poor, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. That does not justify January 6, but it explains it.

NBC NEWS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “White House physician says Biden remains ‘fit for duty’ after routine medical exam.” With this, it certainly looks like the Democrats will run Biden for President again in 2024. The exam did not include cognitive testing. What does Haley have to say about that? Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have strongly hinted/implied/argued/shout that I have cognitive disorders, and that is why I have to spend so much time putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if they, or if anyone who they control, put the newsletters together and sent them out, they could and would do it in far far far less time than it takes me.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The exam did not include cognitive testing. In a neurological assessment, Biden did not show signs of any issues, the memo said. O’Connor said after Biden’s 2021 exam that an “extremely detailed neurologic exam” showed no disorders, such as the possibility of a stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “CNN’s Don Lemon Says Nikki Haley Is Past Her ‘Prime’ At 51—Here’s What Research Says.” When are people “in their prime?” According to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, people are “in their prime” when they are their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and if they are not extremely successful by the time they are 40, they are failures. It is called age discrimination. I should write a book about that.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/02/16/cnns-don-lemon-says-nikki-haley-is-past-her-prime-at-51-heres-what-research-says/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One research study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly found that the 50s is a woman’s prime of life, indicating that Haley is indeed in her prime. Better health, empty nests and higher income distinguished the 50s from the earlier and later periods of life for women. Women in their 50s also showed greater confidence, involvement and breadth of personality. Since the CNN discussion surrounded politics, a candidate’s prime may be defined by voter preferences. Again, Haley appears to be in her prime. One telling study found that male and female candidates in their 40s and 50s are preferred over candidates in their 30s, 60s and 70s. The researchers did not study candidates in their 80s. When it comes to cognitive and creative ability, yet another study suggests the 50s decade may be the prime time for some. The study examined 31 Nobel Prize winners in economics to determine when they made their most significant contributions. Those whose work was more conceptual peaked at age 25, but those whose work was more experimental peaked in their mid-50s. To be fair, some cognitive abilities peak at a younger age. Speed in processing information peaks at age 18 or 19, and short-term memory starts to drop off at around age 25. However, other abilities, like evaluating other people’s emotional states, peak in our 40s and 50s. In addition, wisdom, which refers to a deep understanding of different aspects of life, also peaks in midlife. Perhaps when Lemon referred to Haley not being in her prime, he was referring to her fertility or physical strength. In this case, he’d be correct. The peak for both men and women is much younger for these areas. Both men’s and women’s fertility starts to decline in their mid-30s, but women’s fertility declines much more rapidly than men’s. When it comes to muscle mass, physical strength and flexibility, men and women peak in their late 20s to early 30s. But none of these skills are required for a nation’s leader. Lemon’s comment is not just offensive because of Haley’s relatively young age but because women are devalued more than men as they age. When women’s bodies are no longer functioning at their peak and women are past their reproductive age, women are thought to be past their prime. This doesn’t happen to men in their fifties. Lemon cited Google as his source for women’s prime, suggesting the search engine would back up his assertions, “If you Google ‘when is a woman in her prime?’” Ironically, a Google search on that question now reveals news about Don Lemon’s comment. Whether or not you appreciate Nikki Haley’s politics, it’s tough to argue that she isn’t in her prime as a presidential candidate.)

CENTER SQUARE
— GAO wants to find out just how much taxpayer money is lost to fraud at the federal level. – Brett Rowland (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. Gene Dodaro ( https://www.gao.gov/about/comptroller-general/biography ) was one of them. Those Democrats wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. While I worked for GAO, I became a Licensed CPA and a Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. Previously, while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I became a CPA.)
