https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/italian-american-community-resignation-chicago-alderwoman-alleged-racist-comments
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The Italian Americans were the highest number of men and women in the armed services during World War I and II, so we’ve contributed greatly to the makings of the city of Chicago and the makings of this great country, preserving it. But we’re not different than any other ethnic group that has come here. We’ve all strived to work alongside of each other,” said Lou Rago, Italian American Human Relations Foundations president.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS & CHICAGO CRUSADER & CHICAGO MAFAZINE
— To get more votes from minorities, Democrats ever-increasingly shout at minorities that Whites have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have. What have your ancestors done against minorities? Mine have done nothing. What have your superiors done to close Chicago’s racial wealth gap? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Small Living in the Big City. – RACHEL FREUNDT (COMMENT: In 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building immediately after IRS promoted me to a GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) Revenue Officer position in the Loop. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate business classes at Loyola until 1976 when I traded in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1978 when I got married, sold it for a $10,000 gain ($46,645 in today’s dollars), and bought a home in Wheaton with my wife.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “Adam Kinzinger, the former Illinois congressman, isn’t endorsing for president (yet), but he wants to see Chris Christie on the debate stage next month. Kinzinger’s PAC has sent out an email encouraging donors to give to Christie’s campaign. Next month’s GOP debate in Milwaukee has rigid criteria to get on stage. Candidates must secure 40,000 donors for the first debate, and Christie isn’t there yet. “If he doesn’t meet the threshold,” according to the pitch, “there will be no one on stage to say ‘the emperor has no clothes.’” It’s a reference to former President Donald Trump.”

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230708/collar-county-seniors-are-in-line-for-a-bigger-property-tax-break-if-not-lower-tax-bills
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote stories about minorities and about women who have benefitted from Affirmative Action (AA), that is, who have benefitted from reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish stories about those like me who have been forced to pay the price of AA by Democrats and by RINOs. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish my story. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Sadly, if not tragically for me, that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. Especially after 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA examination, let alone passed it. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1980, because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, veteran. and/or younger, GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They assigned me to supervised all their most problematic employees. The kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA or Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations, let alone passed them. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the CIA 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, and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. The Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. have all taken many big adverse actions against me that they would never had taken against me if I was a minority, female, veteran, and/or younger.

It is titled “Unity in Diversity * Celebrating the Diversity of Team USA.” The calendar highlights “diversity” by assigning each month a highlight of an aspect of diversity. Starting in January, they are: World Braille Day, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Earth Day, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Disability Pride Month, Women’s Equality Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Native American Heritage Month and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As a white American, straight male who is the direct descendant of nine male veterans of the American Revolution, we get no recognition. Not even Independence Day. Without them and their fellow soldiers, there would be no TEAM US (America).)

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/7/7/2179902/-The-Radical-Right-Rulings-On-Affirmative-Action-Are-About-Resurrecting-The-Confederacy
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote stories about minorities and about women who have benefitted from Affirmative Action (AA), that is, who have benefitted from reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I challenge the Daily Kos to publish stories about those like me who have been forced to pay the price of AA by Democrats and by RINOs. I challenge the Daily Kos to publish my story. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Sadly, if not tragically for me, that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. Especially after 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA examination, let alone passed it. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1980, because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, veteran. and/or younger, GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They assigned me to supervised all their most problematic employees. The kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA or Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations, let alone passed them.

Since my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they have always lived in northeast Illinois. Trump is the only living president whose ancestors did not own slaves. I should write a book about my critics/opponents a) whose ancestors owned slaves and b) who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I support that plank.)

— Wall Street Journal: Florida Needs Illegal Aliens to Fill Low-Wage U.S. Jobs – JOHN BINDER (COMMENT: What low-wage jobs did you fill? I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. Those low-wage jobs enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC and NIU expenses 1966-1970, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and f) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Celebrities like musician and conservative activist Ted Nugent, whose passionate rhetoric has struck a chord with many Trump supporters has stuck by 45’s side, just like Kid Rock, whose unapologetic endorsement of Trump has garnered significant attention in the media. But it’s not just rockstars backing the former president. He has Super Bowl winners, award winning rappers, comedians, and reality TV stars by his side.)

https://www.newsweek.com/republican-2024-presidential-candidate-wants-kick-trump-off-ballot-1811412
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Anthony Castro has not been shy about his dislike for former President Donald Trump. Once a donor—he gave $1,700 to Trump’s campaign after his shocking victory in the 2016 election—the Texas tax attorney and longshot 2024 Republican presidential candidate has since become one of his fiercest critics. He has sued Trump several times, launching his campaign with a lawsuit against Trump in his adopted home state of Florida seeking to disqualify him from the ballot. He has campaigned opposite Trump numerous times, lending support to anti-Trump groups and candidates like the Lincoln Project and former Alabama Democratic Senator Doug Jones. And he’s willing to invest millions to see Trump lose, loaning $20 million to his campaign ahead of an advertising blitz against the former president in early-voting states like New Hampshire.)

CBS NEWS
— Democrats say “Affirmative action in college admissions and why military academies were exempted by the Supreme Court.” During the 1980s and 1990s, GAO specifically exempted its employees who were veterans from suffering any kind of adverse impacts of massive GOP-led budget cuts. If I had been a veteran, GAO would not have forced me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and I might still be a GAO employee. Further, a) GAO would not have forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) GAO would not have delayed my promotions to back to GS-11, back to GS-12, and then to GS-13, and c) GAO would have promoted me to GS-14, GS-15, and Senior Executive Service. I say that because a) GAO audits IRS, b) I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, c) I had earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, d) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, e) I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, f) I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, g) I had become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

— Democrats say “The boomers are retiring. See why that’s bad news for workers.” My Democrat GAO superiors outrageously forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. By doing that, a) they wasted the almost 18 years of experience that I had gained working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $109,732-142,650/year; b) they wasted the almost 9 years of experience that I had gained 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; c) they wasted what I had learned earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; d) they wasted what I had learned passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981; e) they wasted what I had learned earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980; f) they wasted what I had learned passing the CPA examination in 1979; and g) they wasted what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

But my Democrat IRS superiors not only ignored that to disallow those courses, they outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied in those applications and that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector.

I would focus on those who are/were a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, and c) conservative and religious leaders and activists in Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who falsely claim to be conservative to give themselves standing to destroy conservatives. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— All Racism Is Evil, Supreme Court Rules – Betsy McCaughey (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly run America. To get more votes from minorities, Democrats ever-increasingly call Republicans racists. To call someone a racist in America today, is like calling someone a Jew in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s.)
https://www.creators.com/read/betsy-mccaughey
— Do You Love America? – Ben Shapiro
https://www.creators.com/read/ben-shapiro/07/23/do-you-love-america
(COMMENT: What, precisely, is it about America you love? That’s the question this July 4 as just 29% of Democrats say they’re extremely proud of the country, accompanied by just 33% of Independents and 60% of Republicans. In fact, Democratic love of country has always fallen far behind that of Republicans, even during the Obama era, when it hit a temporary high of just over 50% (Republicans at the time said they were extremely proud of the country at a rate of approximately 70%). Why is it that liberals in the United States are so much less proud of America than conservatives? These days, the answer typically given is America’s inherent sinfulness; there is nothing in the American founding worth conserving.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents whose parents a) bought them cars while they were in high school, b) got them into college, c) paid for their college expenses, and/or d) got them jobs. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. Because of the aforesaid, I did yard work 1962-1964; delivered newspapers 1962-1966; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; and delivered mail 1966-1969. With the money that I earned, a) I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968; b) I paid for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970; and c) I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management.)

— Democrats say “At University of Chicago, a Debate Over Free Speech and Cyberbullying. A student objected to a class titled ‘The Problem of Whiteness’ and tweeted the lecturer’s photo and email address. Hate mail poured in.” and ask “What should the school do?” Democrats run the federal government. They do not allow free speech. They only allow speech which promotes the Democrat Party platform. They waste the careers of and they get rid of federal employees who object to any plank in the Democrat Party platform and especially its planks that promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write a book about how my superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me because I opposed the aforesaid planks.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/03/us/university-of-chicago-whiteness-free-speech.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The university’s declaration of free speech principles, developed in 2014 and known as the Chicago statement, has become a touchstone and guide for colleges across the country that have struggled to manage campus controversies, particularly when liberal students shout down conservative speakers. Scores of schools have adopted it.)

I started serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2005. But my anti-conservative and my anti-Republican critics/opponents ended that in 2021. They hint/imply/argue/shout that what I did caused Republican candidates to lose. I arranged for a live elephant to walk behind Roskam in the 2007 parade. I should write a book about Republican participation in and sponsorship of Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978.)

— Democrats say “Biden’s age is stumbling block to reelection.” When did your age first become a stumbling block for you? For me it was 1973 when I was a 25-year-old IRS employee a) who was conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and whose ancestors had been in America since 1844 and who had been a Crete resident 1948-1972 and b) who had not made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year). My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1978 when I was 30 and I had still had still not made GS-13 even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination my first attempt in 1979. My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1983 when I was 35 and I had still had not made GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1988 when I was 40 and I had still had not made GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. The aforesaid is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— Be proud; display the flag – Bill O’Boyle (COMMENT: I have displayed the flag at my home in Wheaton each and every day since September 11, 2001. I displayed an 18X12-foot flag at my Iron Gate Motor Condo in Naperville until I recently sold that condo. I will soon start displaying that flag in my new bigger Iron Gate Motor Condo. I am proud to be an American because America has allowed me to have the successes that I have had in life (4 college degrees, 6 professional certifications, a professional license, 45+ year marriage, financial security, etc.) notwithstanding a) my ever-increasingly unpopular demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), draft avoider, married, non-poor, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 26 year, Crete resident 1948-1972, etc.); (b) political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, etc.; and c) my critics/opponents who have used up-or-out, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to take many adverse actions against me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the adverse actions that they have taken against me.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want Trump to lose the 2024 Republican presidential primary. But if too many candidates run against Trump, Trump will win because those candidates split the vote. Further, because Democrats run America, Democrats will determine which candidate will win the 2024 Republican presidential primary. That candidate will be the one who Democrats believe will be the easiest to defeat.

POLITICO
— Democrats say “Why Dems aren’t campaigning on affirmative action.” Ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO companies, organizations, and governments use DEI to discriminate against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

WHITE HOUSE
— To promote and retain Democrats in the federal government who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors increasingly lowered promotion and retention requirements. Constructively, that rendered worthless a) my almost 18 years of GAO work experience, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, b) my almost 9 years of IRS work experience, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, c) my CPA license, d) my Accounting, Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant certifications, and e) my master’s degrees in finance, accounting, and business. I should write a book about that.

— Democrats say “Chicago’s affordable housing gap widens.” Back in the good old days, in 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building while I continued to own a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I could afford to do that because of my $92,279/year IRS salary in today’s dollars. My IRS salary had also enabled me to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972 and to own a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. Because of promotions, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary had increased from $52,022/year in 1971 to $63,633/year in 1972 to $76.990/year in 1973 to $92,279/year in 1974. Ever since then, my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as having been promoted too fast and therefore being grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/macintyre-the-bottom-of-the-slippery-slope
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The long ordeal of Pride Month is almost at a close, but this festival would not be truly complete without prominent figures advancing the argument for child sexualization. Adults exposing themselves to random children on the street is de jure illegal; those who do so are criminals who should receive a prison sentence and a spot on the sex offender registry. Until a few years ago, this was the obvious and unspoken consensus across America. No discussion on the issue was needed; perverts who waved their genitals at children went to jail and were viewed with scorn for the rest of their lives. Very little discussion was had on the issue, and no indecent exposure laws were really changed, but America finds itself in a place where proudly flashing a crowd full of children has been de facto legalized.)

LONGVIEW NEWS JOURNAL
— Democrats say that Trump asks “How Can Christians Vote for Democrats?” To vote for Democrats or for RINOs is to promote a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration. e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, g) patronage, h) political affiliation discrimination, i) reverse discrimination, and j) age discrimination.

INDEPENDENT WOMEN’S FORUM
— Bidenomics Hit Families With A $5,600 Pay Cut. Due to the ravages of inflation, average family income dropped sharply in the past 30 months. – Carrie Sheffield (COMMENT: Have you suffered a pay cut? I have. GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I should write a book about my decision in 1980 when I was 31 years old to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583/year) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720/year), to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. The GAO Chicago Office Staff manager (Bill) who arranged for my transfer assured me that under him, GAO would a) quickly promote me to GS-11 Step 10 (currently $100,084/year), b) quickly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and c) quickly promote me to GS 13. But immediately after I transferred, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago Office replaced Bill with a Democrat Staff Manager (Dave) who was extremely anti-Republican, if not a Republican-hater.)

BLEACHER REPORT
— Ranking the 5 Most Overpaid NBA Rosters Right Now – GREG SWARTZ (COMMENT: Have your critics/opponents called you overpaid? Mine always have. In 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building while I continued to own a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I could afford to do that because of my $92,279/year IRS salary in today’s dollars. My IRS salary had also enabled me to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola since 1972 and to own a 1972 Corvette that I bought new in 1971. Because of promotions, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary had increased from $52,022/year in 1971 to $63,633/year in 1972 to $76.990/year in 1973 to $92,279/year in 1974. Ever since then, my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as having been promoted too fast and therefore being grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are the following doing to oppose Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, c) your Republican congressman, d) your Republican state senator and representative, e) Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, f) conservative and religious leaders and activists in your area, and g) candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It promotes individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, Second Amendment rights, avoidance of vices, and equal opportunity, that is, no race or gender based preference giving. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: While neither the commissioners nor their smug attorney Phillip A. Leutkehans clarified anything, community members clarified much—and it was all good, very good. As an interesting aside, Leutkehans’ law partner is none other than the arrogant RINO Pat Brady, disgraced former Illinois Republican Party chairman who, before Illinois legalized same-sex “marriages,” skulked around Springfield secretly trying to convince Republicans to vote in favor of the law that recognizes non-marital unions as marriages. Once ousted from his position as chairman, the ACLU hired him to lobby Republicans to support same-sex faux-marriage.)

Starbucks’s chief executive defended the company’s commitment to the LGBTQ community and suggested advocates for the union were wrongly exploiting the situation. The company apologized to customers inconvenienced by the strikes and encouraged them to search for an operating cafe on its app. “We strongly disapprove of any person or group, seeking to use our partners’ cultural and heritage celebrations to create harm or flagrantly advance misinformation for self-interested-goals,” said CEO Laxman Narasimhan in an internal company message. Partners is the company’s term for employees.)

BARRON’S
— Democrats say “Only Half of People Stay Employed Through Their 50s. How to Prepare.” The Democrats who run the federal government do everything that they can to force federal employees who are Republican to retire as soon as they are eligible, and especially Republican employees like me who are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I was not eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 years old in 2003. In 1997, I had been working for GAO on audits of federal financial institutions since 1990. In late 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” I should write a book about that. In early 1997, I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and I became a Forensic Accountant. In 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor. In 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager. In 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. In 1980, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1979, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1976, I earned an MBA from Loyola. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my 1997 GAO salary was in today’s dollars and b) less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.
