Wheaton College, a private Christian liberal arts school just outside Chicago, issued a statement Wednesday addressing the Fox News article, saying that they “remain committed to Christian service” and that the “claims made about the college are false or misleading.” Freelance writer Tim Scheiderer, who penned the Fox News op/ed, says that the school has begun to “mimic Harvard’s wokeness” by “banning biblical words, teaching critical race theory, and psychologizing gender identity issues.” “In the 19th century, Harvard was slowly, and permanently, transformed from a Christian university into a secular one,” Scheiderer writes. “At Wheaton, the biblical belief in only two sexes is being tainted. With this and the other shifts mentioned, it may seem like a slow drift. But a gentle tide can carry a boat far from its dock.” Wheaton College President Philip Ryken slammed the “incendiary” opinion piece, saying in a statement that it “failed to meet minimal standards for journalistic accuracy.” Here’s what we know. Who is Tim Scheiderer? Scheiderer, the author of the article, has no apparent affiliation with Wheaton College. He graduated from Bob Jones University, a private evangelical university in Greenville, South Carolina, with a B.A. in mass communications and media studies in 1999. He also has a “Master of Divinity” from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to his LinkedIn page. Scheiderer’s resumé also lists him as a founding board member of The Augustine Fellowship, a Christian Study Center at Georgetown University. He says on his website that he earned his “writing chops” working for ABC, Fox News and CNN. What else does the Fox News article say? Scheiderer writes that Wheaton College has slowly drifted away from traditional Christian values since the 2000s when the education department “commended the teachings of Marxists.” The college’s most “blatant offense against Christianity is the ban of certain biblical words that are key to the faith’s foundation,” stating that students have been discouraged from using words like “service” and “mankind.” He also calls out an endowed chair in Wheaton’s psychology program for expressing views on gender identity that Scheiderer says are “rooted in an anti-God philosophy.” Scheiderer concludes the article by asking: “Would Billy Graham, the most influential 20th-century evangelical, endorse his alma mater? How has Wheaton College responded? In his statement, Wheaton College’s president discouraged community members from “engaging further” with Scheiderer. The article, which Ryken says appeared to have been “cobbled from out-of-context items found on the Internet” is mischaracterizing since the author “does not name any sources or give any citations for his many contentions.” Ryken said that Scheiderer had reached out to the college’s marketing department a month ago, claiming that he was writing an article for the Wall Street Journal on a tight deadline. When the spokesperson questioned Scheiderer’s credentials, he told them that he was “actually a freelance writer attempting to pitch an idea to the Journal’s opinion section.” “A representative from the WSJ confirmed that Scheiderer was not an employee. Although the WSJ did not run his piece, evidently he was able to have it appear on a FOX News page,” Ryker noted. “Wheaton College remains fully committed to Christian service − which we embrace as ‘service’ in our very mission statement − to biblical orthodoxy and Christ-centered education, including in matters of human sexuality, gender identity, and race relations,” Ryken said. Ryker concludes the statement by pointing to the college’s institutional commitments website for “ accurate information about our convictions.”)

https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/920500785
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a study of white teachers’ sense of belongingness at their schools, education professor Jennifer L. Nelson found that these teachers were often ill-equipped for discussions about racial issues with Black colleagues and students because they had little prior experience thinking about or confronting race in their family, educational and previous work environments. White workers’ emotions about race and reactions to racial differences in the workplace are triggered by identity threat-induced culture shock, researchers suggest in a new study. White teachers who worked at a school where the faculty was majority Black felt shocked, rejected, uncomfortable and anxious when racial discussions arose and their racial or professional identities were challenged, the researchers found. When triggered by feeling different – regardless of whether they were a racial minority or majority in their workplace –white teachers responded by practicing social avoidance, shunning intergroup relations and ducking conversations about race. “Most of the white teachers in our sample hailed from racially segregated social worlds – attending predominantly white high schools and universities” that left them unprepared to handle race relations in their workplace, said first author Jennifer L. Nelson, a professor of education policy, organization and leadership at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, who co-wrote the study with Tiffany D. Johnson, a business professor at Georgia Institute of Technology.)

— Illinois GOP Ignores Will of the People, Pushes Anti-Trump Agenda – Mark Vargas
https://www.newsmax.com/markvargas/illinois-gop-anti-trump/2024/01/31/id/1151718/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So back in Illinois: What’s the current position of the state Republican Party? According to the embattled state party chairman Don Tracy, the party will remain “neutral” during this primary season. In other words, they want to wait it out. It’s too early and there’s not enough data to make any predictions just yet. But again, this should come as no surprise. During the 2020 presidential primary, it was reported that owners in Tracy’s family-owned business — where he is an owner — donated $6,193 to Biden’s campaign. In 2018, owners made only a $250 donation to Trump. But it was only a year ago when Tracy wanted to reevaluate the state party’s so-called “neutrality” policy after a Trump-endorsed conservative grassroots Republican defeated the state party’s preferred establishment-backed candidate for governor in the 2022 Illinois Republican primary by 43 points. Tracy then blamed the Trump-endorsed candidate for all of the 2022 statewide midterm election losses — a move that angered the powerful and influential grassroots base of the party. And last spring key Illinois GOP party leaders, including national committeeman Richard Porter — a close friend and adviser to Tracy and Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel — endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the presidential primary. During Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair this past August, Porter was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune where on-record, he repeated a line often used by the Democrats and said that Trump was running for president simply to avoid going to jail. After both the Chicago Tribune and Illinois Review reported on his on-the-record comments, Porter was in panic mode. Realizing that his inner monologue was now public record, he offered a long, meandering follow-up statement to try and clarify his statement. But the damage was already done. But none of this is accidental and multiple sources in Illinois confirm that Illinois Republican Party leaders are playing the “neutral” card because they are holding out hope that one of Trump’s 91 criminal charges — 44 federal and 47 state — will stick and he will be jailed before the Republican National Convention in August, leaving Haley or DeSantis as the Republican nominee for president who will face Biden in November. State party leaders will emphatically and publicly deny that this is the strategy, but this is the truth. And it’s the only reason that explains why they are remaining selectively neutral this presidential primary season — for fear of angering DeSantis or Haley by coming out so quickly in support of Trump. But the pattern is clear. Last March, the Illinois Republican Party hosted a fundraiser that featured former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who served as attorney general under Trump. Barr frequently attacks Trump in media interviews and says the GOP presidential front-runner is destroying the Republican Party. And who served on the host committee? Tracy and Porter. And when former President Trump visited southern Illinois in June 2022, none of the state party leaders, including Tracy and Porter bothered to show up. That’s right: The 45th president of the United States of America and the leader of the national party shows up in your backyard, and the state Republican party leaders decide to skip the party. It’s no wonder Democrats control every lever in the state — the establishment, anti-Trump Republicans within the state party allow it.)

— Ford 10-Speed Transmission: The Most Common Problems – PRARTHANA GOPAL (COMMENT: I am one of the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against Ford over this transmission. I represent Mustang owners in Illinois. SEE: https://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2023cv04130/435016 The lawsuit has since been transferred to Massachusetts.)
https://www.slashgear.com/1490143/ford-10-speed-transmission-common-problems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2017, Ford debuted the 10R80 transmission, which it had developed in collaboration with General Motors. The new transmission was first introduced in Ford F-150 trucks, but it soon became a mainstay in other models like the Mustang, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Ranger, among others. The 10R80 was designed to provide more power and fuel efficiency, allowing drivers to experience a more responsive and nimble handling experience. That said, problems soon began to surface with the 10-speed automatic transmission. Owners of Ford passenger vehicles experienced various issues, ranging from jerky driving to delayed gear shifting and more. Over time, consistent problems with the transmission system led to multiple consumer complaints and even lawsuits against Ford. Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission has made an appearance in several Ford vehicles over the years, but it has also become the subject of multiple lawsuits. Plaintiffs have repeatedly alleged that the 10R80 transmission is defective. Some have also claimed that the auto manufacturer has known about this problem since 2018. A lawsuit, filed with the Massachusetts State Court on April 18, 2023, stated: “A common design and/or manufacturing defect in Ford’s 10R80 transmissions is a potentially life-threatening safety issue, and Ford has refused to recall or replace the defective Transmissions.” . . . Ford, on the other hand, refuted several of these allegations, asserting that the plaintiffs didn’t seek prompt servicing for their vehicles. Ford also pointed out that the complainants continued to use their cars despite these issues surfacing — a fact that could negate the severity of the claims. . .One of the most common issues that people have experienced with Ford vehicles that used the 10R80 transmission was the “sluggish” pace of gear changes. Some drivers also allegedly experienced violent and sudden shifts from one gear to the other.)

— Taxpayers foot bill for relocating migrants who want to leave Chicago – Chuck Goudie and Barb Markoff, Christine Tressel, Tom Jones, Maggie Green and Adriana Aguilar
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-migrants-paying-for-migrant-crisis-texas/14373445/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s the secret side of Chicago’s migrant crisis. Some migrants who arrive here don’t want to stay. Some asylum-seekers coming to Chicago from the border, at a sizable cost to government agencies, are then going somewhere else. The ABC7 I-Team asked Illinois state officials for information on how many migrants are coming and going. An ABC7 data investigation reveals this double migration, the coming and going, is running up the tab for a crisis that already caught Illinois by surprise, and continues to stretch government resources and finances. . .The I-Team filed an open records request to find out how many migrants are leaving Illinois, what that costs and who’s paying? According to the Illinois Department of Human Services, migrant travel costs in the Chicago area, including people leaving by bus, plane and train, total more than $775,000. And when additional travel related expenses such as rideshares are factored in, it’s almost $850,000 of taxpayer money that has been spent on migrants moving out of Chicago. State officials say 4,327 migrants have now come and gone. That is more than 10% of the migrants sent to Chicago over the last year and a half. . .Catholic Charities has provided some of the logistical help in relocating migrants from Illinois. A spokesperson for Gov. JB Pritzker tells the I-Team that before leaving here, Illinois authorities make sure there is a friend or family member on the other end to receive the asylum-seekers, wherever they’re going. Records show many of the migrants leaving Illinois are going to New York, Florida and Georgia. And some are going back to Texas.)

DAILY HERALD
— House GOP is moving quickly to impeach Mayorkas as border security becomes top election issue – AP (COMMENT: Mayorkas is an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders. Charles Bowsher was an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders while he ran GAO 1981-1996. Bowsher ever-increasingly destroyed GAO and especially under Clinton 1993-1996 and under Gingrich 1995-1996. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Democrat and RINO budget cuts, Affirmative Action, DEI, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination to get rid of GAO’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. He got rid of GAO employees who had accounting degrees, were CPAs, did not have Ivy League degrees, and/or who he had not promoted into his Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year, by age 40. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

January 30, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders continue to flood America with their illegals. Their illegals will want/need/demand massive assistance for years, if not decades, if not forever. Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will not evict their illegals from their shelters unless/until a) you pay with your tax dollars to give them housing, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and/or b) you take them into your home and provide them with the aforesaid.

Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will ever-increasingly give more tax dollars to countries, townships, municipalities, and school districts that take in his illegals. But in the short run, will Pritzker symbolically a) house some illegals in his Chicago home and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and b) encourage/force other rich Chicagoans to do the same?

QUESTION: Which employees will Democrat and RINO leaders encourage/force employers to replace with illegals? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect it will be their employees who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, etc.

QUESTION: Which homeowners will Democrat and RINO leaders encourage/force to house their illegals and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc.? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect it will be homeowners who own bigger homes, who have empty bedrooms, who have higher income, who have higher net worth, who have children, who have pets, who are older, who are female, are who are LGBTQ, etc.

QUESTION: But what about Democrats who are in need? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will use your tax dollars to pay illegals to help Democrats who are in need, for example, help them take care of their children.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/city-of-chicago-rejects-permits-for-activists-to-protest-dnc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The city of Chicago rejected permits requested by a group of abortion and LGBTQ+ rights activists to organize a march in protest of the Democratic National Convention this summer. The coalition includes groups like Chicago for Abortion Rights, Stop Trans Genocide, Gay Liberation Network, Reproductive Transparency Now! and more. The DNC is scheduled for Monday, August 19 through Thursday, August 22. The group planned to hold a march Aug. 18, the day before the convention kicks off at Jane M. Byrne Plaza, previously known as Water Tower Park. The groups say, for years, Democrats have taken voters who care about reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights for granted. Organizers of the newly-formed “Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws: Coalition for Reproductive Justice and LGBTQ+ Liberation” will hold a press conference on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in front of 400 W. Superior Street. They plan to publicly appeal the city’s rejection of their march permit application.)

DUPAGE POLICY INSTITUTE
— Glen Ellyn Village President Senak: ‘That $11 million is for us to have migrants come to Glen Ellyn and locate here and settle here and remain here’ (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders continue flood America with illegals. Their illegals will want/need/demand massive assistance for years, if not decades, if not forever. Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will not evict their illegals from their shelters until a) you pay with your tax dollars to give their illegals housing, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and/or b) you take their illegals into your home and provide them with the aforesaid. Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will ever-increasingly give more tax dollars to countries, to townships, to municipalities, and to school districts that take in his illegals. But in the short run, will Pritzker a) house illegals in his Chicago home and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and b) encourage/force other rich Chicagoans to do the same?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Leave it alone,” Firchau said.” I can’t afford myself. Alright. I love this town. It’s a beautiful town. I’ve been blessed to be a carpenter in this town. I’ve worked under the most beautiful houses I’ve ever encountered. I’ve done it for forty years, and I’d like to see the high class homes and quality of our neighborhoods stay the same. This is our country, not theirs.” Another audience member questioned the restrictions or requirements for accessing the grant money and also emphasized the importance of monitoring incidents, public resources, and transportation in the settlement process. Over 34,000 illegal immigrants have landed in the state since mid-2022. Last fall Illinois allocated $42.5 million in grant monies for municipalities to house illegal immigrants. As of last fall Lake County, Elgin, Oak Park, Urbana and Chicago had received grant funds from the state to assist with housing and other needs. Overall the state has allocated $500 million for the care of illegal immigrants. “We know this unprecedented humanitarian crisis is going to be critical to discussions on budget and other important issues this session,” House Speaker Chris Welch said, according to Capitol News Illinois. However, the revelation from Senak is the first time the money has been linked to permanent resettlement efforts. The grant funding revelation comes a week after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson requested help from 21 suburban mayors who are part of the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. Burr Ridge’s Gary Grasso was one of 21 suburban mayors who Johnson requested help from. “He’s asking us all for support, calling out the federal government,” Grasso said.)

— Disneyland Posts Woke ‘Wheel Of Privilege’ In Employee Kitchen, Removes It After Daily Wire Inquiry. ‘Things like this make people feel unwelcome, destroying the magic,” employee tells The Daily Wire. – Ashe Schow•
https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-disneyland-posts-woke-wheel-of-privilege-in-employee-kitchen-removes-it-after-daily-wire-inquiry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Posters featuring a “wheel of power/privilege” were hung in employee spaces in Disneyland, instructing employees that being white, “cisgender male,” and even speaking English means you have “unearned” privilege that your “marginalized” coworkers do not, according to images obtained by The Daily Wire. The wheel featured for all employees to see has the word “power” in the middle, and is sectioned like a dart board, with certain traits fanning outward that are labeled “marginalized.” For example, being white, a “cisgender male,” owning property, and speaking English are all considered privileged, while being dark-skinned, transgender, homeless, and not speaking English are considered marginalized. In between the inner and outer circle – which would be considered not completely marginalized but not totally privileged either – are “cisgender women,” gay men, people with a high school education, and who learned English. Included with the wheel is a definition of “privilege,” stating that it is “unearned access or advantage granted to specific groups of people because of their membership in a social group.” “Privilege can be based off a variety of different social identities such as race, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, ability status, sexuality, age, education level, and more,” it continues. “Within the US, members of social groups that hold privileges (white, male, wealthy, able-bodied, etc.) have historically held dominance and power over targeted groups.” The poster also asks, “why should we accept that we have privileges?” It provides the following answer: “By accepting that we have privileges, we can see that not everyone sees the world from our perspective and that we have privileges in our life that have hindered our awareness of the world.”)

Other reasons included the store manager treated me like he wanted to get rid of me. He disapproved of my being a college graduate, draft avoider, former postal employee, Protestant, German American, Crete resident, and my ancestors having been in America since 1844. He refused to let me start working in the store until I passed a 2-week probationary period in the Hammond Indiana Firestone Store. He never would have hired me. Firestone’s District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to its Chicago Heights Store because I lived in Crete and I did not know that its manager disapproved of so many of my demographics.)

The 28 shelters in the city are at capacity and Johnson says he will not open anymore.

Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added.

January 28, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders have opened Pandora’s Box. The illegal immigration they promote will ever-increasingly increase. Democrat leaders will continue to flood America with illegals at least until they have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever be elected again. RINO leaders will continue to flood America with illegals at least until they have all the cheap labor that they can use. Countries that hate America will continue to flood America with their citizens until they have destroyed America. Constructively, if not literally, Democrat and RINO leaders have abolished America’s borders. By claiming asylum, refugee, or parole status, all the citizens of all of the countries of the world can come into America “legally” and stay in American “legally.” Because Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration but falsely deny it, a) Trump will be elected, b) the Senate will turn Republican, c) the House will stay Republican, and d) steps will be taken to save America.

— Huge loss for DEI in federal court – Editorial (COMMENT: To promote DEI is to promote discrimination against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, Democrat, Democrat plant, and RINO leaders destroy you if you do not promote DEI. I should write a book about past and present Democrat plant and RINO leaders of the following: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/2821039/huge-loss-for-dei-in-federal-court/
(FROM THGE ARTICLE: When even a liberal federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama rules that diversity, equity, and inclusion practices can be illegal, it is time to recognize that most DEI regimes by design are invidiously discriminatory. In a case that received too little attention, Judge Wendy Beetlestone of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled this month that former Pennsylvania State University professor Zack De Piero had reasonable grounds to keep alive a lawsuit against the school based on its DEI practices. De Piero said DEI policies at the college essentially forced his resignation, and Beetlestone agreed the professor “plausibly alleged that he was subjected to a race-based hostile work environment.” . . . Those conditions were created explicitly by the university’s DEI policies and practices. For example, on five different occasions, the university required De Piero “to attend conferences or trainings that discussed racial issues in essentialist and deterministic terms — ascribing negative traits to white people or white teachers without exception and flowing inevitably from their race.” In one exercise after the Minnesota police killing of counterfeiter George Floyd, the instructor forced “White and non-Black people of color to hold [their breath] just a little longer [than black people] — to feel the pain.” If literally being forced to feel pain because one is white isn’t racially discriminatory, nothing is. But that was only one example. In another instance, De Piero said the facilitator “condemn[ed] white people for no other reason than they spoke or were simply present while being white.” Meanwhile, he said, university officials specifically told him “to incorporate race into his grading” in a way that would “penalize [white] students academically on the basis of their race.” And it is incontrovertible that Penn State’s DEI director “sent an email to all employees ‘calling on white people’ to ‘feel terrible,’ about their ‘own internalized white supremacy.”)
— Diversity hiring has gone out of control – Corey Walker (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, Firestone Stores in 1970, and Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.)

(COMMENT: In 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors knew full-well that I had deducted my graduate business courses at Loyola on my 1972-1976 income tax returns and my graduate accounting courses at DePaul on my 1976 and 1977 income tax returns. But notwithstanding the aforesaid, in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors suddenly disallowed the aforesaid courses immediately after Money Magazine published its February 4-page article on me. In that article, Money Magazine strongly and falsely painted my deductions as being improper. Money Magazine strongly and falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that the courses were not job-related, b) that the courses did not help me carry out my job duties, c) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and d) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In defense of my ancestors, I have always stressed a) that all of them lived only in northeast Illinois, b) that on my father’s side, they were lowly famers in southeast Crete Township, and c) that on my mother’s side, they were lowly sharecroppers in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)
https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/leaders-in-the-making/202401/the-psychology-of-multicultural-identity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Nikki Haley, on the other hand, belongs to a family of warriors, continuing the Sikh tradition of her people; her husband, Michael Haley, and brother, Mitti Randhawa, have served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. She was the first female governor of South Carolina; she also took down the Confederate flag after the shooting of Black parishioners at Emanuel African Methodist Church in 2015 by a White nationalist. She served as the UN secretary under Trump, who is now spreading a “birther controversy” about her name not being American enough. Yet she has steadfastly claimed that the U.S. is not a racist country. She once checked on her voter registration card that she was “White” when the census classifications were not clear about the “Asian” category on the census form. She has tried to balance the nativist vision of American exceptionalism prevalent in her party with her Indian heritage. Governor Nikki Haley exemplifies what psychologists have identified as an assimilationist view of identity, where the majoritarian White identity dominates the life narrative, while other minority identifications are subsumed underneath. How is it that Governor Nikki Haley, who was the governor of a state where the Civil War started, could forget about the root causes of America’s bloody history? I have a sneaking suspicion as to why she didn’t mention slavery. The party of Lincoln may now want to reassess the history of the Civil War under their new leadership. However, there is a silver lining in all this.

— Chicago restaurants struggled with labor shortages last year. Relief is coming slowly. A new report says city eateries had trouble finding workers last summer, with 82% of them short at least one kitchen staffer. Local owners say things have started to improve, but food and labor costs are still a concern. – Audrey Hettleman (COMMENT: I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between. Since 1964, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that against me to paint me as being an unmitigated loser. They hint/imply/argue/shout that they never would have stooped to take job like I took. In my defense, with the money I earned and saved washing dishes, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. I used it to get to/from a) jobs cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, and delivering mail and b) classes at UIC. I sold it in late 1967 and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those whose parents a) had lots of money, b) bought them cars, c) paid their college expenses, and/or d) got them jobs.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240126/news/homeless-man-convicted-of-raping-woman-on-prairie-path-near-wheaton/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 44-year-old homeless man was convicted Thursday evening of raping a woman on the Illinois Prairie Path (in) Wheaton almost six years ago. Following a three-day trial and less than three hours of deliberation, a jury found Robert Davison guilty of multiple counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and one count of unlawful restraint. Davison has been in custody at the DuPage County jail since his arrest in May of 2018. Wheaton police began investigating the attack just after midnight on May 18, 2018, when a woman was heard screaming for help near the PADS shelter in Wheaton. The woman had dirt on her face and cuts to her upper body. The woman told investigators she had been approached by Davison along the Prairie Path who “demanded sex from her.” When she refused, she said Davison dragged her into a wooded area by the hair and sexually assaulted her. Davison fled after the attack, but was located two days later, authorities said. Davison is scheduled back in court March 7 for a pre-sentencing hearing. He faces up to 90 years in prison.)

— Park Ridge Takes Compassionate Approach Should Any Migrants Arrive – Todd Wessell (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will ever-increasingly demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you if you do not take illegals into your home and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc.)
https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/park-ridge-takes-compassionate-approach-should-any-migrants-arrive/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While no known arrivals of asylum seekers have occurred in Park Ridge, the city has put together a plan that would become effective if a bus load of migrants are suddenly dropped off in the city. Park Ridge leaders have decided not to enact an ordinance that would impose fines on bus companies and their drivers for allowing migrants to disembark in the city without prior notice. Instead, City Manager Joe Gilmore said, an “Emergency Management Plan” has been put together that directs that Park Ridge will “compassionately facilitate transportation (of migrants) to the city of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications.” The plan lays out procedures the city and police department will follow should a drop off occur. In cases where migrants have been dropped off in Park Ridge without the city’s knowledge, “they should be sheltered at either the Dee Road or Uptown Metra station (whichever is closest).” From there, local police will contact the Metra Police Department and assist in getting people on the next inbound train to Chicago. In instances where a bus carrying migrants has not yet dropped off their passengers, the police “should request that the passengers remain on the bus for routing to the city of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications.” According to Gilmore, city officials have studied the migrant issue for a lengthy period of time which for many suburbs has triggered ordinances that penalize bus companies and drivers that arrive in their communities unannounced. Most of those towns say they do not have the resources to shelter and feed asylum seekers. Local ordinances have been approved in neighboring Des Plaines and Rosemont. “The plan is high-level and fluid, and discussed frequently by city staff,” continued Gilmore. He explained that the city’s staff has communicated with other suburbs about their experiences. He added that a recent survey of the Northwest Municipal Conference revealed that a majority of its 46 members have not adopted ordinances that restrict unscheduled bus stops within their borders. “Park Ridge staff discussed this option, and engaged the city attorney, and staff concluded that this is not an effective option, at this time. We continue to monitor the situations and options.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott about two years ago implemented the program of transporting asylum seekers, most of whom have entered the U.S. through Texas, to Northern locations that have declared themselves sanctuary cities. The city of Chicago considers itself a sanctuary city. Many people believe that Abbott created the program to dump migrants in cities as a way of showing the problems his state is wrestling with. In its Emergency Plan, Park Ridge police will provide “address, guidance, and/or escort to the Chicago location where migrants are given food and shelter. “The city of Park Ridge, like every Chicagoland municipality facing this crisis, does not have the resources or infrastructure necessary to accommodate individuals on a long-term basis,” said the city’s Emergency Plan.)

Yandle and Judge David W.

— Executive order will expand race preferences throughout the federal government – ALISON SOMIN (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders a) reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action decision and b) continue to use DEI to destroy Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/3883986-new-executive-order-will-expand-race-preferences-throughout-the-federal-government/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Individuals should be treated as individuals and not on the basis of their membership in racial groups, especially by our government. Unfortunately, a new executive order encourages federal agencies to focus on racial group identity rather than the character and qualifications of employees and contractors. It will result in racial quotas in hiring, procuring, and even using artificial intelligence throughout the government. The executive order’s stated goal is advancing racial equity throughout the federal government. The word “equity” appears 21 times. The order brims with talk about “new action plans to advance equity,” “extending and strengthening equity-advancing requirements for agencies,” and requires agencies to convene “Equity Teams” charged with ensuring that their agencies are “delivering equitable outcomes.” While equity sounds similar to “equality,” the two concepts are quite different. A Biden campaign video narrated by Vice President Kamala Harris nicely sums up the difference, indicating that the administration uses “equality” to mean that each individual is given the same opportunities. “Equity,” on the other hand, seeks to achieve equal outcomes.)

— Making Good Men Harder to Find: How Changing Wealth Inequality Affects Marriage Patterns – Rosemary L. Hopcroft (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Republicans who are White and/or male are ever-increasingly paid less than Democrats and RINOs who are minority and/or female. I am Republican, White, and male. I worked for Democrats 1964-1997. In today’s dollars, the most I was ever paid was $150,075/year. If I had been a Democrat, minority, or female, I would have been paid much more than that, at least $191,900/year in today’s dollars. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) fewer or no professional certifications than I had, and/or d) no professional license. Virtually all of them were minorities and/or females. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://ifstudies.org/blog/making-good-men-harder-to-find-how-changing-wealth-inequality-affects-marriage-patterns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lots of things affect how hard it is to find a spouse. Local sex ratios are an example. For instance, in Alaska, where there are many more men than women, it is harder for a man to find a wife than a woman to find a husband. Something else that affects how hard it is for someone to find a spouse are preferences. If a person will only accept someone as a spouse who has characteristics that few people have, then it will hard for that person to find a spouse. In a recent paper published in Evolution and Human Behavior, Robert Brooks and coauthors used computer simulation models to mimic how different wealth characteristics of individuals influence the outcome of marriage markets. Their models simulated a population of one million men and one million women encountering each other and pairing off if they met a partner who met their specification for wealth. All the simulated men and women had a wealth characteristic that was distributed normally in the population, with a certain mean and standard deviation. That is, some men and women were rich, some were poor and most were in between, with the amount of inequality measured by the standard deviation of wealth. The women had the greater requirements for a spouse—they would only pair with a man they encountered of equal or greater wealth than themselves. The men had the least requirements for a spouse—they would pair with a woman they encountered who was willing to pair with them.)

January 26, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders want America to officially stop enforcing its immigration laws, that is, to let all those who come into America stay in America forever if they claim asylum, refugee, parole, etc. status. That will elect Trump.

If/when Democrats and/or RINOs try to officially make your county, your township, your municipality, and/or your school district official sanctuaries for illegals, who will lead the fight against that? I will lead the fight against that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200. Previously, in Wheaton, I successfully led fights against video gambling and pot.

Wheaton is holding a special meeting on bus regulations Monday, January 29, 2024, 7:00 PM.

I ask that the following speak out against Democrat/RINO orchestrated illegal immigration: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, c) the leaders of your county/township/ward Republican party organizations, d) your Republican congressman, state senator, and state representative, e) the Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, f) the candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct, g) conservative leaders and activists in your area, and h) religious leaders and activists in your area.

— Orland Park officially declares it is not a sanctuary city – Jeff Vorva
https://southwestregionalpublishing.com/2024/01/19/orland-park-officially-declares-it-is-not-a-sanctuary-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For years, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has been saying the village is a non-sanctuary municipality. On January 15, the board of trustees made it official. The board voted 6-0, with Joni Radaszewski absent, on an ordinance declaring that the village will not be a sanctuary city. In past meetings, Pekau said that allowing migrants into the community was unfair to the residents of the community and unfair to the migrants themselves as Orland Park is not equipped to handle them. He added that sanctuary cities go against federal law even though it’s being encouraged on the state and county level. “We are clearly not a sanctuary city,” Pekau said. “We will not aid and abet the state, the county, or the city of Chicago in violating federal law. “And it’s really unfortunate that we have to pass something like this. We shouldn’t really have to say that we need to pass an ordinance saying we’re going to follow federal law. But it seems like in this current environment, we do.” On the problems caused by migrants and illegal immigrants, Pekau paraphrased former President Ronald Reagan. “The beauty of America is that if you come here from somewhere else you can become an American,” Pekau said. “No other country takes people in, and they become Americans like America does. “But it must be done legally and it seems absolutely nuts that we have to pass an ordinance that we will follow U.S. law. Now Chicago has reached out and asked us to help them violate federal law.” The mayor said that there is $450 billion being spend nationally on “non-citizens illegally crossing our borders” and that money can be better spent on the local level.)

ABC7
— Naperville migrants: City scraps plan for residents to house new arrivals
https://abc7chicago.com/naperville-migrants-illinois-in-chicago-migrant-housing/14361376/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville is not moving forward with a plan to have residents house migrants in their homes. The city was considering putting together a list of residents willing to bring migrants into their homes. But city staff decided there are other state and federal agencies putting together lists of shelters to house migrants, so it’s not necessary for Naperville residents to pitch in. The decision came just one week from Chicago’s deadline for when migrants will start being evicted from shelters. The city said it’s continuously looking at that 60-day shelter stay policy, but no changes in the eviction date have been announced.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Naperville will not consider volunteer list for housing migrants – Alicia Fabbre
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240125/news/naperville-will-not-consider-volunteer-list-for-housing-migrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to city council members Wednesday, Naperville City Manager Doug Krieger said the city received significant feedback following a Jan. 16 city council meeting where Councilman Josh McBroom suggested the idea. At that time, city staff was directed to look into the suggestion and report back to the council. “Based on initial staff research, migrant housing lists are currently being maintained by government agencies at the federal and state level, as well as through private charities,” Krieger writes in the memo. “As a result, it has been determined that it is not necessary for further city consideration and therefore this matter will not appear on a future city council agenda.” The message will be part of a “manager’s memorandum” expected to be posted to the city’s website, city spokeswoman Linda LaCloche said. At the Jan. 16 council meeting, McBroom floated the idea of a volunteer list of residents willing to house migrants and had the support of three council members – Nate Wilson, Jennifer Bruzan-Taylor and Paul Leong – to have staff look into the suggestion and report back to the council at a later date. Though McBroom said last week he was sincere in his proposal, he said Thursday the suggestion was a “polite challenge” to those who support an open border policy. “It was a sincere challenge because the city of Chicago clearly cannot handle this crisis anymore, and they’re putting pressure on the cities,” McBroom said. “The way I see it, we’ve got one of two options. Individuals can contact their state representatives to pressure them to get the border secure. Or, if you supported this policy and you believe an open border is a good policy, then are you willing to house a migrant family? There are a lot of them who are homeless right now in the dead of winter.” McBroom’s proposal quickly drew national attention, and McBroom on Thursday appeared on a Fox News program. It also sparked a flurry of emails to council members with reactions ranging from outrage from conservatives who blasted McBroom, a Republican, for suggesting people house new arrivals to a local church inquiring how families could help. McBroom brushed off some of the reaction from fellow conservatives, saying he could “take a few arrows” and said his challenge at least got people talking. Others, however, didn’t see his actions in the same light. “I don’t appreciate Naperville becoming a national laughing stock or just being used for political points,” Councilman Ian Holzhauer said. As the city faced increased scrutiny, Mayor Scott Wehrli said he had a discussion with McBroom late last week about his proposal. “I suggested to him if he had a change of heart, he should contact the city manager and let him know,” Wehrli said. McBroom on Thursday acknowledged he contacted Krieger about the proposal and asked to have it removed from future agendas. Wilson, who initially supported the measure, also requested the same. Krieger reached out to Taylor and Leong, who also supported ending further inquiry and removing it from the agenda. According to council policy, the support of three council members is needed to add an item to the agenda. To remove an item, two of those council members must support its removal. Wehrli, who said he did not support McBroom’s initial proposal, said the city will continue to ensure the safe passage of new arrivals to the landing zone in Chicago. Residents who want to help new arrivals are encouraged to visit chicago.gov.)

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/653885165-mcbroom-i-haven-t-had-a-single-person-in-naperville-sign-up-to-house-illegal-aliens
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville City Council Member Josh McBroom said he hasn’t had any Naperville residents volunteer to house illegal aliens who have moved to the Chicagoland area. McBroom made the comments Thursday on AM 560’s Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson. “It’s weird. During the last presidential race, we had thousands of Biden signs in Naperville. We’ve got houses all over town that advertise support for this mass migration of illegals. They say ‘no human is illegal,” McBroom said. “Since I’ve proposed this, I’ve haven’t had a single person ask me, ‘Where’s the sign-up sheet. I want to sign the sign-up sheet, I’m ready to sign my house up for the signup sheet’ It’s shocking.” “These are the people that voted for this. We’ve got thousands of illegals coming into the area. And they’re homeless— in the middle of winter,” McBroom said. ”You voted for this. You sign up. Be the change. Open your house. At the Jan. 16 Naperville City Council Meeting, McBroom suggested the city create a “signup sheet” whereby residents who support illegal immigration to the Chicagoland area could volunteer to house now homeless illegal aliens to live with them. “We hear from people that we should do more,” McBroom said. “We do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes.” McBroom earned his Bachelor’s degree from Purdue University. He and his wife Emily settled in Naperville in 2001. McBroom is a Financial Advisor and owner of McBroom Financial Group in Naperville. He was elected to the Naperville city council in 2023. His current council term ends in 2027.)

https://afn.net/politics-govt/2024/01/25/reparations-resolution-lists-130-reasons-for-handing-out-14-trillion/
(COMMENT: Reacting to the resolution, GianCarlo Canaparo of the Heritage Foundation says the resolution claims slavery created “lasting harm” on black Americans. Among the poorest Americans, he says, there was little difference between struggling blacks and whites through most of the 20th century until the 1960s. Echoing a view of many others, such as black economist Thomas Sowell, Canaparo says the structure of the black family changed for the worse when President Lyndon Johnson introduced his “war on poverty” in 1964. What was supposed to end dependence on government instead created what is now known was the “welfare state” that hurt black families the most. “It is the family, staying in the family above all else,” Canaparo says, “that determines your economic, educational success in America.” Bush, 47, fits that description herself. The daughter of a local politician, Errol Bush, she graduated from a private Catholic prep school then graduated from nursing school.)

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— Immigration Now a Zero-Sum Game (COMMENT: Everything is a zero-sum game. Everything given to members of one group is not given to members of another group. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had fewer or no professional certifications, and/or d) who had no professional license. Virtually all of them were female and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2024/01/16/immigration-now-zero-sum-game
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sheer volumes of admissions now exceed national need, capacity, and manageability — a far cry from a rational, and limited, immigration approach designed to aggregate national purpose with mutual benefits. Instead, today’s immigration has often become a zero-sum game, the proposition that a gain for one side entails a corresponding loss for the other side…notably each and every American. Of course, it’s been evident for a long time; FAIR has been reporting regularly on the rising cost and impact of immigration. But while politicians have been able to conveniently ignore consequences and “kick the can” down the road for decades, the money is now running out, space is unavailable, and social resources are drained. The result has been a marked increase in the immediate shifting of resources and a displacement of Americans to accommodate surging migrant needs.)

ZERO HEDGE
— Cultural Replacement: Why The Immigration Crisis Is Being Deliberately Engineered – TYLER DURDEN
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cultural-replacement-why-immigration-crisis-being-deliberately-engineered
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cultural Replacement Theory “Replacement Theory” is often denigrated by the media as a racist conspiracy held by white people who are “afraid to lose power.” This is nonsensical for a number of reasons, including the fact that if “white people” were a monolith and we had all the power, then we would simply snuff out any threats to that power and lock down our borders. There would be nothing anyone could do to stop us. The truth is, there is no white monolith, there is no patriarchy and there is no such thing as systemic racism. Do some leftist activists clamor for mass migration to replace white people in the US and Europe? Absolutely. They call it “decolonization.” Is this the real purpose of mass migration? Probably not. The replacement going on is not so much about replacing white people as it is about replacing western culture. The goal, I believe, is to open the floodgates to foreign elements because most of them come from more socialist systems that have no understanding of individual freedom. In this way, the establishment can dilute the American culture of independence and use the tyranny of the majority (democracy) to erase our values and principles forever. This is why you will hear Biden and his ilk constantly pontificate on “democracy” and the “defense of democracy’ and the conservative “threat to democracy.” This is very deliberate terminology. When they say “democracy”, they are talking about the rule of the mob; the tyranny of the majority. They are talking about collectivism, socialism and ultimately authoritarianism for the “sake of the greater good.” Migrants are being used to phase out the pillars of western civilization. This is why the borders must be secured now and illegals must be kicked out of the country with haste. No martial law, no FEMA detention facilities, no amnesty, no asylum, no welfare and no subsidies. They just need to be removed and sent back to where they came from and if they return illegally they should be severely punished. In order for this to happen it would appear that southern states will have to enforce their own border security. But how to do this without federal interference? The American public will have to step in and step up to help states like Texas. The movement will have to be so overwhelming that the federal government is afraid to intervene. The shape of this secure border action will require trial and error, but as long as Texas is willing to continue arresting illegals and shipping them out of the country, all that is needed is a contingent of deputized Americans to help watch the border and catch people trying to cross. There may also be a need for people to defend border walls and fences from federal sabotage. Some will argue that this constitutes a violation, a defiance of federal authorities, and I would say yes, it is, and that’s a good thing. The Biden Administration is in dereliction of its duty to keep the country safe from foreign invasion. Doing nothing and leaving borders undefended from mass immigration is no different from refusing to defend the border from a foreign military. If the current trend is allowed to continue, the stage will be set for a host of emergencies that will be exploited to give elites the excuse to erase what constitutional protections we have left. This cannot be tolerated. It’s time to end it.)

But city officials said they have recommended to Pritzker’s administration potential sites outside Chicago, sometimes with specific buildings in mind, a notion the governor’s office disputes. “And you know, again, just keep in mind that the state of Illinois can build a shelter anywhere in the state of Illinois. So, the state does not have to build a shelter in Chicago,” he said.)

— With fundraising up, Illinois GOP may be turning a corner – Greg Hinz
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/illinois-gop-may-be-turning-corner#/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just in time for election season, the Illinois Republican Party is showing signs of life. A fundraiser set for next month not only is a sellout, with 740 tickets purchased for the Feb. 9 dinner at a Rosemont hotel, but has garnered more money than the party reported raising all of last year. Combined with an armistice of sorts between often feuding factions on the party’s central committee, the party appears to have taken at least initial steps to pull out of the funk it’s been in since former Gov. Bruce Rauner lost his re-election bid to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in November 2018. Rauner moved to Florida shortly after the 2018 vote, followed soon by Citadel chief Ken Griffin. Both men and a couple of others, such as shipping mogul Dick Uihlein, had almost personally kept the party funded, writing large personal checks. With them gone and Pritzker easily winning a new term in 2022, income dried up, with the Illinois Republican Party reporting income of only $230,000 in 2023, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records. That has changed. The upcoming Rosemont event featuring U.S. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana already has grossed “more than $300,000,” says party Chairman Don Tracy, a Springfield lawyer who took office after Rauner left the state. And with three weeks to go, the party has added as many seats as it can to the Rosemont venue and sold them all. “That’s the biggest event I can remember in many years,” said Tracy in a phone interview. “There’s a lot energy.” “Seven hundred people and $300,000 — that’s quite an accomplishment,” said former party Chair Pat Brady. The event appears to be the largest fundraiser for the state party since a host of presidential candidates showed up at a 2011 Chicago event honoring Ronald Reagan’s birthday, according to Brady. In an odd twist that also indicates some change, Tracy said much of the proceeds from the event will be used to amplify the Illinois GOP’s early- and absentee-vote efforts. Ergo the dinner’s “bank the vote” theme. Former President Donald Trump famously ridiculed such efforts after his 2020 loss, repeatedly charging that any votes not cast in person on Election Day were subject to massive fraud. Many party professionals later concluded that relying strictly on in-person votes ceded too much ground to Democrats, and Tracy said efforts to get the GOP back into the early-vote game this year have the blessing of not just the Republican National Committee but Trump himself. Despite the new money, Illinois Republicans face a daunting task this election cycle. They hold no statewide offices, are in no super-minority positions in the Illinois House and Senate, and likely presidential nominee Trump lost the state by a wide margin to Democratic nominees in 2020 and 2016. Trump heading the 2024 ticket “could be a headwind,” particularly in Chicago, where the party needs to do much better, Tracy said. Tracy has remained neutral in this GOP contest, with Richard Porter, the GOP national committeeman from Illinois, having backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Regardless of who the party nominee is, “We’re going to be broad-based, on a wide range of issues. . . .We have a team,” Tracy said. Jeanne Ives, the former gubernatorial candidate and conservative who serves on the state party’s governing board, confirmed the group is more unified at the moment than it has been in recent years. “There’s a concerted team effort to turn the tide and make things better,” Ives said in a phone interview. Having a plan and the money to fund it “will help,” even in Illinois, she added.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/dei_making_college_unaffordable.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I graduated from college in the 1980s. I took my bachelor’s degree in 2.5 years by taking overloads—up to 22 credits–every semester, and full loads every summer and interim session, as well as a number of correspondence courses from another university when I had to have a class that wasn’t offered when I needed it. At that state college, my education cost a bit less than $10,000. I was an adult, paying my own freight, and needed to get back into the workforce as quickly as possible. I took out no student loans. Tuition then was a fraction of current college tuition. That was in part possible because the school had only the administrators it needed. There was one registrar, one President, and only necessary additional administrators. They all had full time jobs with at least eight hours of daily work. Deans were working professors, and virtually every English and music class—my disciplines–was taught by a full professor. Every teacher at that school taught a full class load. There was no such thing as DEI, CRT or wokeness in general. That’s not the way of things now.)
