Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, all anyone in the world needs to do to come into America “legally” or to stay in America “legally” is to claim asylum. The Democrat news media ever-increasingly a) paints asylum seekers as being GOD-like and b) paints the Republican battle against illegal immigration as being lost forever. That is, that soon, if not already, Democrat leaders will have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever win an election again and RINO leaders will have all the cheap labor that they can use. Anticipate/expect that if Democrat and RINO leaders conclude that it is necessary, they will ever-increasingly move illegals to battleground/swing states so that they can vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats on the ballot.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: With deadline looming, is public pension funding heading in the right direction? – Jake Griffin (COMMENT: Are you earning credits toward a pension? Are you getting a pension? I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I became eligible to take early retirement in when I was 45 in 1993. I have been getting a COLA-adjusted CSRS pension (currently $65,160/year) since I was 49 in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about the aforesaid. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years (1980-1997), for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), and for the Post Office for almost 3 years (1966-1969). I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (Loyola-business), 1980 (DePaul-accounting), and 1997 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting). I earned a job-related profession license (CPA) in 1981. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I might still be paying 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS instead of drawing a pension from it.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Only 3.4% of U.S. journalists are Republicans – Kerry Picket (COMMENT: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have been a member of that 3.4% since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, you cannot be both a journalist and a Republican.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/30/only-34-us-journalists-are-republicans-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose. According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022. That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll. Democrats in the news industry saw their ranks swell by eight percentage points in 2022 to 36%. The number is nine percentage points higher than the overall Democrat population of 27%, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll. The new survey notes that the figure is the third-highest percentage of journalists identifying as Democrats since 1971. The study included other findings that covered various topics in the journalism workplace, including educational levels, workplace satisfaction, shrinking newsrooms, median ages of reporters, women, minorities, sought-after training and social media. According to the survey, 22% of the respondents said journalism in the U.S. was headed in the right direction, while 60.1% said otherwise. Similar numbers of respondents said the same a decade ago. When asked about the “most important problem facing journalism today,” the journalists mentioned these issues most often: declining public trust in the news media, shrinking local and community news coverage, perceived bias and opinion journalism, fake news and disrupted business models. This survey resumes the series of national studies of U.S. journalists launched in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone. It continued in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2013 by David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit and their colleagues at Indiana University. The new study was based on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists and conducted in early 2022.)

PHYLLIS PCHLAFLY
— The Repackaged Attack On Motherhood – Ed Martin
https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/family/the-repackaged-attack-on-motherhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barbie phenomenon is joined by the female pop star Taylor Swift, whose record-setting concert tour caused an unprecedented meltdown at Ticketmaster. Now the film version has broken the box office record for a concert movie, drawing mostly young women to theaters where they dance on chairs and sing off-key rather than merely watching. Taylor Swift, herself childless and nearly 34 years old, was asked when she turned 30 whether she wants to have children. She curtly replied, “I don’t really think men are asked that question when they turn 30, so I’m not going to answer that now.” For the most part, Swifties have not been attending these concerts on dates with young men. An estimated 90% of these concert fans are women, an imbalance so severe that it has caused havoc with the availability of restrooms at performance venues. The messaging from the media couldn’t be any clearer. They are telling our young women that the path to happiness requires childlessness. This messaging isn’t new. Phyllis Schlafly was exposing these false promises all the way back when Betty Friedan was calling the home a “comfortable concentration camp” back in the 1960s. However, the new packaging on the same old lie shouldn’t be ignored today. We must help our daughters to see that for the vast majority of women, true and lasting fulfillment will be found in marriage and motherhood.)

— You’re never too old to pivot in your career. – Ashton Jackson (COMMENT: Have you pivoted in your career? I did when I was 31 in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. But I soon found out that my Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being far too old to have a successful GAO career. To make that happen, they forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer and they ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the fact that I a) 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 $97,079-$110,020/year, b) had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) had become a licensed CPA in 1981, g) 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) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, 12, and 13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer, who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. 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. They never would have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

DAILY MAIL
— ‘He’s soaking up the sun while illegal aliens crash our border’: Republicans slam Joe Biden for taking New Year’s holiday to Caribbean island of St Croix when 6,000-strong migrant caravan rumbles towards the US. Republicans are criticizing President Biden for vacationing in St. Croix during a border crisis, accusing the White House of neglecting the issue. Biden’s trip coincides with an increased focus on a migrant caravan and rising number of border crossings
Vacation-related attacks on presidents are common, and Republicans believe the border issue is politically advantageous in an election year. – JAMES GORDON

The ever-increasing horrific disaster caused by Democrat and RINO success in flooding America with illegals is ever-increasingly worsening. I should write a book about those who not only reject the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform, but who destroy those like me who support that plank. I would focus on past and present a) RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

— Champaign County sheriff expects little change in light of new gun regulation – SAMUEL LISEC
https://www.news-gazette.com/news/champaign-county-sheriff-expects-little-change-in-light-of-new-gun-regulation/article_2077db33-1e74-5b1c-86e1-1717a6a3db4d.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the law also allowed existing owners of assault-style firearms one year to register their guns with state police, with the aim of “ensuring that law enforcement knows the location of these weapons of war and who to hold accountable if they fall into the wrong hands,” a news release from the governor’s office said. Heuerman said he does not believe the Champaign County Sheriff’s office will play a large role in the rollout of the new requirement because it is unlikely that deputies will regularly encounter people whose sole crime they are committing is failing to register their regulated firearms. The statute does not require deputies go door to door to check if people have assault-style weapons guns in their home, the sheriff said. When deputies do come into contact with individuals who are possessing a gun unlawfully, it is typically because that person is using it recklessly or threateningly. In the latter instance, HB 5471 could serve as another means of prosecution for the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s office, he said. In a scenario in which a deputy encounters a person who has neglected to register their firearm, and they are not possessing or wielding it in any other unlawful way, Heuerman said he does not see a criminal arrest likely taking place in those circumstances, but rather a conversation taking place in which that person is reminded they are registered to their firearm with ISP. But if deputies were to make contact with that person who has failed to register their assault-style firearm in subsequent encounters, then the sheriff’s office could escalate their involvement in making an arrest and report for the State’s Attorney’s office to follow up on. “I don’t want to suggest people don’t do it, that’s not what I’m saying. The law is the law,” Heuerman said. “But I just don’t think the frequency is going to be there where we’re running into people violating the statute intentionally without maliciously using that weapon in some way.”)

https://www.shawlocal.com/my-suburban-life/2023/12/30/dupage-county-working-to-ensure-asylum-seekers-are-transported-to-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is working closely with local and regional partners to ensure asylum seekers who have been arriving on out-of-state buses are transported to the city of Chicago. “Our primary goal is to help these new arrivals get to their destination in the city as safely, and with as few delays, as possible. We are grateful for the collaboration with state, regional, and local officials, who have been enormously helpful in ensuring the safety and security of those arriving in DuPage County, as well as our residents,” County Board Chair Deborah Conroy said. Since Dec. 14, 49 buses have arrived at train stations in DuPage County containing 2,081 passengers, according to DuPage OHSEM. They boarded trains to Chicago, where city teams guided them to Chicago’s landing zone, which is the only designated location in the state of Illinois for asylum seekers. Residents who would like to assist asylum seekers by donating food, clothing or small household items or to learn more about the requirements for sheltering, please visit www.Chicago.gov/support .)

— Google, Facebook Slash DEI Programs in 2023 – Lee Barney (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, Democrats and RINOs have spent many trillions of dollars on Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on race and gender based preference giving, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on reparations, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. How has that impacted you? My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors used AA and DEI to unofficially justify delaying my promotions, to not promote me, to give me smaller or no pay increases, and to force me to retire early in 1997. Since 2000, RINO government and political leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have used AA and DEI to unofficially justify taking many adverse actions against me. They rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. They never would have done that if I had been a minority, female, younger, or veteran. They ever-increasingly stress that I am not minority, not female, not younger, not veteran, Protestant, German American, that my ancestors have been in America for a long time, and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972.)

— Jan. 4 status hearing ordered in 5th Amendment challenge to Illinois’ gun ban. Banned item registry doubles but remains less than 1%. – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly use illegal use of semiautomatic guns to abolish Second Amendment rights. Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk those who own the banned guns, who do not register, who promote Second Amendment rights, who voted for Trump, and who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Further, anticipate/expect that Democrats will publish the names and addresses of those who register, harass them, and even worse things.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_cc6518ee-a5a4-11ee-9793-67dcc62eb4c7.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is no protections for the registrants having the information used against them, so the Supreme Court declared that unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment,” Maag said. In Maag’s case last week, McGlynn ordered a status hearing to be held Jan. 4. The state is looking to delay that into the second week of January. That’s after the Jan. 1 registration deadline. Of the 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders in Illinois, about 15,100, or 0.63%, of FOID card holders have registered as of this week’s update from ISP. That’s nearly double the number of individuals registering than reported the week before. John Boch of Guns Save Life said the compliance rate heading into the final days is dismal. “There are millions of gun owners in Illinois who haven’t registered a thing, 99.4% noncompliance rate,” Boch told The Center Square. “That’s pretty astounding.” Boch said residents have options like destroying or turning over the now banned items to law enforcement. “Other options include rehoming your firearm outside of Illinois,” Boch said. “That’s an option a lot of people including myself have chosen to get the gun out of Illinois and out of reach of the governor.” The Illinois State Rifle Association said it cannot provide legal advice, but that another option is to keep the firearm and do not register. “This option is also based on the assumption that [the U.S. Supreme Court] will strike down the law. As a consequence of this option, firearm owners could face prosecution and imprisonment,” ISRA said in a statement. “As an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you.” Those found with banned items that are not registered with Illinois State Police could face a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense and a Class 3 felony for second and subsequent offenses. Rules for the gun ban registry are not finalized. Emergency rules in place since mid-September have not been officially updated by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. They meet again Jan. 16 in Springfield, where the bipartisan legislative body could accept gun ban registry rules on second notice.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new rules would empower the commission to prosecute internet service providers for alleged discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and other protected classes, as well as income. The rules empower the FCC to “crack down on digital inequities,” as The Associated Press put it. By which the commission might mean, for example, punishing companies for building infrastructure in neighborhoods where the agency expects people actually will buy it. The newly Democrat-dominated FCC allegedly imposed the new rules to “eliminate discrimination” in access to internet services. By which the commission means the uneven rollout of 5G service, itself stymied by regulatory red tape.)

They forced him to retire in 1987, they threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, they gave me a bad job assignment in early 1989, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal for that assignment, and they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in late 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings – Jason Horowitz (COMMENT: What do you say to those who have asked me why I never pretended to be Swedish?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?”)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam. The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing? – Michael Wines (COMMENT: The Vietnam War continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to punish me for my avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They punished me the most while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. They stress that I should have enlisted because I am conservative, Republican, and deemed 1-A for the draft. They stress that I am unmitigated coward because with my health problems (could not run because of a bone disease, eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and partially red/green color blind), I would not been sent into combat. They stress that if I had not avoided the Viet Nam War draft, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970, d) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, g) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, h) buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, i) etc.)

— ‘Diversity’ just means discrimination. Aviva’s CEO has unwittingly revealed the backwardness of the ‘DEI’ agenda. – ALKA SEHGAL CUTHBERT (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote diversity, that is, they want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, parents, veterans, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/12/21/diversity-just-means-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, has revealed that no white males can be recruited to senior posts without her say-so. Speaking last week at a Treasury Select Committee hearing on sexism in the finance industry, Blanc said that there can be ‘no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer’. It was an admission that revealed a lot about the impact of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda on employment and public life more broadly. Thanks to DEI, it is now acceptable for a CEO to state that she will subject ‘non-diverse’ candidates – a coded reference to white males – to extra scrutiny. Which sounds very much like discrimination to me. This captures the through-the-looking-glass logic of DEI, a logic that menaces every principle of fairness and equality. After all, a fair approach to recruitment would ensure that vacancies are widely advertised so as to broaden the pool of applicants. That way, an organization can maximize its chances of finding the best applicant with the best set of skills and talents for the role advertised.)

The importance of GAO’s mission helped me endure tremendous efforts by my Democrat GAO superiors to waste my career and to get rid of me. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31. They gave me bad/unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. 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 when I was 49. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2023/12/24/kane-county-gop-issues-statement-on-suburban-migrant-drop-offs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Kane County Republican Party leadership issued a statement Saturday regarding the drop-off of 38 migrants on a bus sent from Texas on Dec. 21 at the Elburn Metra train station. The incident has been mirrored in other Chicago suburbs recently after the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance on Dec. 13 prohibiting buses from arriving and dropping people off in the city with no prior notice. “… Kane County witnessed yet another incident where busloads of migrants were callously dumped here from the U.S. border without prior warning or care for their well-being,” the statement said. “This is not an act of compassion but a systematic failure resulting in a criminal operation.” Signed by the Andro Lerario, chairman of the Kane County Republican Central Committee, the statement added, “This issue is no longer confined to the distant border; it’s happening right here in our neighborhoods.”)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform promotes legal immigration, but it opposes illegal immigration.

What are the following doing to fight illegal immigration, for example, demanding E-Verify: a) your Republican congressman, b) your Republican state senator and representative, c) your Republican county, township, municipal, and school district officials, d) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township/ward party organization, and e) candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? From what I see, the more of the following that your municipality has, the more likely that more illegals will end up there: Democrat/RINO leadership, Democrat/RINO voters, big push for DEI, that is, for preference for those who are minority, female, and/or younger, lots of churches and welfare agencies, lots of limousine liberals who want cheap labor, demand for low/un-skilled workers, public transportation, empty buildings, a history of seeking/accepting refugees, county seat, growing hatred of Trump, conservatives, Republicans, etc. – Dave Diersen

CITY JOURNAL
— “Equity” Reimagined in the Windy City. Mayor Brandon Johnson vows to close down Chicago’s nation-leading selective public schools. – Renu Mukherjee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, and/or those whose ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Some falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my parents being filthy rich. They ignore the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills and died suddenly when I was 21, d) that my mother never attended high school, and e) that I had to work my way through college.)
https://www.city-journal.org/article/equity-reimagined-in-chicago-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two days before the 2020 presidential election, Kamala Harris shared a highly criticized campaign ad on X (then Twitter) about the difference between equality and equity. The ad featured two cartoon men—one white, one black—climbing a mountain. The white man started out closer to the top of the mountain than his black peer and subsequently finished the climb first; only when the black man got a “boost” was he able to reach the top, too. Harris served as the ad’s narrator: “Equality suggests, ‘Oh, everyone should get the same amount.’ The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place. . . . Equitable treatment means that we all end up at the same place.” The ad was poorly received by much of the American public, at least in part because the notion of equity—“we all end up at the same place”—is decidedly un-American. Yet the concept is not new. In a 1965 address at Howard University, President Lyndon B. Johnson used a similar analogy to justify affirmative action: “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” For decades, Harris, LBJ, and other old school progressives have defined equity in policy terms to mean preferences for blacks, Latinos, and other marginalized groups in education and employment. The goal of equity, defined in this way, is to increase the representation of these groups in the upper echelon of American society—often at the cost of Asian Americans and whites. But “new school progressives” understand equity to mean the elimination of the upper echelon altogether. They don’t want anyone to have the opportunity to attend a selective public high school, and they loathe the prestige associated with an Ivy League education or a career in “Big Law” or on Wall Street. Their definition of equity amounts to universal mediocrity. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson’s December 14 decision to eliminate the city’s 11 selective public high schools, which use standardized tests to determine student admissions, is the latest example of this new notion of equity at play.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/movies/home-alone-mccallisters-wealth.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Working with the assumption that the McCallisters did not spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, the economists also determined the home would have been affordable to a household with an income of $305,000 in 1990 (about $665,000 in 2022). In the middle of 2022, a similar house would cost about $2.4 million, based on the Zillow estimate for the “Home Alone” house. A home of that value would be affordable to a household with income of $730,000, which would be in the top 1 percent of Chicago-area households, the economists said.)

https://nypost.com/2023/06/10/marco-rubios-new-book-explains-how-globalization-transformed-immigration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) explains how these newcomers served as convenient sources of cheap labor — while upended long-standing patterns of assimilation and integration. . .many elites believe “it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government” . . . For decades now, since our elites began to believe that global market integration was an inherent good that should take precedence over all else — particularly patriotism, national unity, and the welfare of American workers — this country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor. . .But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. . .More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.)

The author of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me was very puzzled why I did not try to hide the fact that I was 100% German American and Protestant. In addition to being German American and Protestant, both Trump and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, older. draft avoiders, non-poor, married, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/12/20/will-lawsuit-dei-state-bar-n2632570
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The State Bar of Wisconsin is being sued for promoting discriminatory DEI practices based on race and sexual orientation. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) launched a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin State Bar on behalf of a State Bar member who is compelled to pay mandatory membership dues that functionally fund DEI programming he argues unfairly discriminates against him as well as thousands of Wisconsin attorneys on the basis of racial and sexual identity. Specifically, the State Bar of Wisconsin’s “Diversity Clerkship Program” offers exclusive internship opportunities—ones that should be open to everyone, WILL’s client says—only to certain minority law students or those who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Some of Wisconsin’s largest law firms and government agencies participate in the race- and sexuality-based Diversity Clerkship Program, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The application itself requires prospects to submit personal statements, “an extremely important factor” in the “race-based selection criteria,” detailing how they “contributed to diversity” and have “demonstrat[ed] their commitment to diversity.” . . . WILL additionally argues that the program “advocates for supplanting equal opportunity with equal outcome” and “violates the free speech rights of students by discriminating against those who will not profess a commitment to this [DEI] ideology.”)

Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

I would have been eligible to take regular retirement in 2003 when I was 55. But in 1993, when I was 45, because of Republican-led budget cuts, I became eligible to take early retirement. In 1997, when I was 49, just before my eligibility to take early retirement expired, my Democrat GAO superiors succeed in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They would not have done that if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. But according to my critics/opponents, I was forced to take early retirement because I was a BAD PERSON and continue to be a BAD PERSON if not a White supremist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and/or even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an extremely BAD PERSON because I was forced to retire in 1997 when I was 49 even though I had a) became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979, b) became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) earned a master’s degrees in finance from IIT in 1997, accounting from DePaul in 1980, and business from Loyola in 1976, and d) gotten promoted by GAO in 1986 and by IRS in 1974, 1973, and 1972.

— Democrats ever-increasingly discourage assimilation. All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s.
