https://www.dailyherald.com/20240322/news/why-illinois-voters-were-no-shows-at-the-polls-tuesday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Most of the races were completely uncontested, with just one contested county board race on the Democratic side,” said Lake County Clerk Anthony Vega. “That lack of motivation could have resulted in voters not coming out.” With that lack of choice, combined with the fact that Democratic President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump had all but secured their nominations ahead of Tuesday’s vote, low turnout was inevitable, experts said. “But I was still shocked to see returns as low as they were,” said Ryan Tolley, executive director of Change Illinois, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that advocates for ethical government and elections. “Typically voter turnout is higher in presidential elections and that doesn’t seem to be the case this year in Illinois, which that could be the divisiveness of politics or voters not having any faith in the process.” . . . Low turnout for a spring primary doesn’t necessarily translate to low turnout for the November election though. . . And when it comes to presidential election years, more than 70% of Illinois voters have cast ballots in each of the last five presidential votes, according to election records.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Abandons Grassroots, Pays Establishment Political Consulting Firms $954K During Embarrassing 2022 Election Cycle, Disclosures Reveal (COMMENT: I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants ( https://theaapc.org/ ) since 2001. My critics/opponents rudely ended my service as a member of the AAPC Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004, a position that I had since 2001. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997 as an Analyst, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. What GAO Analysts do is very similar to what consultants do.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/03/il-gop-abandons-grassroots-pays-establishment-political-consulting-firms-954k-during-embarrassing-2022-election-cycle-disclosures-reveal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party routinely claims that they do not have enough money to support individual candidates – especially the conservative grassroots candidates, but disclosures reveal that during the 2022 election cycle, the state party spent over $954,000 on three political consulting firms as Democrats dominated the election and expanded their super majority control throughout the state. Disclosures also reveal that during that same period, the state party spent over $731,000 on salaries. Records show the IL GOP sent $437,500 to Axiom Strategies, $285,196 to COR Strategies and $231,347 to Validus. But the money spent did not advance Republican causes, but rather it advanced Republican losses – as the party spent nearly one million dollars to hire the state’s best and brightest political minds and consultants. And what was the result of their efforts? As the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board pointed out in a Nov. 11, 2022 editorial, “Republicans lost every state constitutional office – governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer – and 14 of 17 congressional seats. In the General Assembly, not only did the GOP fail to gain any ground on Democrats’ supermajority, Democrats notched a record number of seats in the Illinois House. And in the Illinois Supreme Court, where Republicans had an opportunity to gain two seats…they came up short. Democrats now have a comfortable 5-2 edge in the state’s high court.” Validus partner and co-founder Nick Klitzing is the former Executive Director of the IL GOP and he served as the Deputy Campaign Manager and Special Counsel for the Bruce Rauner re-election campaign in 2017. A review of Klitzing’s personal X account reveals anti-Trump posts. The Republican political consultant also bashes former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, writing in 2020 that the mayor caused “extraordinary damage to our democracy by lying and pushing wild conspiracies on conservative media.” In other posts, Klitzing praises Never Trumper former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, writing, “So proud that @RepKinzinger represents Illinois!” Klitzing even endorses an anti-Trump, pro-choice Chicago Democrat in 2019, writing, “As a Republican in Chicago, I don’t always love my choices in city elections. But I enthusiastically voted for @AnnaValenciaIL for City Clerk. I’ve known Anna for 15+ years. She is a great leader and true public servant. She deserves your support. #VoteValencia #TeamValencia” In 2018, Valencia endorsed Democrat JB Pritzker for governor, writing, “I am proud to support JB for governor and to fight alongside him for the future of Illinois.” And in response, Pritzker noted, “I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Clerk Valencia. Anna is a strong voice for women’s rights and economic opportunity here in Chicago and across the state. As governor, I will work with leaders like Anna to protect a woman’s right to choose, support women and minority-owned small businesses, and work to close the gender pay gap. We will also fight the hateful attacks we’re seeing from the Trump and Rauner administrations.” And in 2022, Gov. JB Pritzker endorsed Valencia in her bid to become Illinois’ Secretary of State, stating that she “represents the bright future of the Democratic Party.” But Republican political consulting is a lucrative business in Illinois, regardless of one’s winning record. Last April, this publication revealed that the Richard Uihlein-funded People Who Play By The Rules PAC, in quarterly disclosures, paid three political consultants $142,000 while spending just $3,700 to support conservative school board candidates during the April elections. Sadly, the candidates lost, but the real winners were the consultants who paid themselves generously. The founder, president and treasurer of the PAC Dan Proft, a Florida resident and host of the Naples-based radio show Chicago’s Morning Answer, received the majority of the consulting fees, totaling $75,000 to Starfish Consulting LLC, while the rest went to a consulting firm owned by Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who was paid $26,000 through Fahrenheit Consulting Group, while $41,000 went to a consulting firm owned by Michael Koolidge (TMKS, LLC), who also serves as the PAC’s communications director and chief spokesperson. During the 2022 Illinois gubernatorial campaign, Uihlein donated $42 million to Proft’s PAC. And just weeks before the election, the Illinois political consulting class, including the PAC, were out promoting a single poll that showed Republican nominee Darren Bailey within “striking” distance and only two points behind Pritzker during the final stretch of the campaign. But on election night, the governor’s race was called at the exact moment the polls closed, with the Associated Press declaring Gov. Pritzker the winner at 7:00 pm CDT. Pritzker would defeat Bailey by 12 points – a far cry from the 2-point margin that the Republican consultants were out promoting just days before. The Illinois Republican political consulting class is busy getting ready for the 2024 election, and promising major Republican victories in a state dominated by the Democrats. But if history is any indication, the real winners will not be the local candidates – but rather, the well-paid political consultants. The next election is November 5, 2024.)

— Professor argues marriage ‘fundamentalism’ helps bolster White supremacy – JACKSON WALKER (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I unfairly benefitted from traditional marriage and family. My parents got married in 1945. They had me in 1948. My mother stayed home and raised me. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod and then to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. They provided me with room and board while I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and e) delivered mail 1966-1969. That enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968. That enabled me to pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970. That enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. Further, ever since I got married in 1978, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have unfairly benefitted from that marriage. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if I had not gotten married, I would never had been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed COPA in 1981, etc. In my defense, I had earned an MBA in 1976 and I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting in 1978.)

WIREPOINTS
— Privilege, affinity and equity: How DEI is playing out in Illinois schools – Ted Dabrowski (COMMENT: My grade school teachers and my high school teachers promoted personal responsibility. Thanks to them, I took college preparatory classes in high school, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I got accepted by UIC.)
https://wirepoints.org/privilege-affinity-and-equity-how-dei-is-playing-out-in-illinois-schools-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But scratch beneath the surface and you see exactly what Kirsanow warned of: students being taught to see others as members of a racial or social group, not as individuals. Take the “affinity” groups that New Trier High School, just five miles from Evanston High School, created a couple of years ago. It’s one thing for students to come together under shared interests and backgrounds. But it’s another thing for a school district to sanction and promote numerous affiliate groups under the DEI umbrella. “Black and Brown Club.” “Young Asians with Power.” “White Anti-racist.” “Black Student Alliance.” All were listed during a presentation on the district’s DEI efforts. These aren’t groups based on common interests, but rather on racialized and politicized “shared identities.” . . . Despite the national move against equity as reported by the WSJ and most recently in Crains, New Trier shows no sign of slowing down its affinity group efforts – the school district has a new LinkedIn job posting for a Black and Brown Club Affinity Group Sponsor. And note the language listed under Qualifications: “Preference will be given to applicants who identify as Black, African-American, Hispanic and/or Latinx and/or have personal experience with or knowledge of the needs of this population.” Interesting, considering the recent ruling against affirmative action. . .A recent New Trier 9th-grade assignment shows how DEI can negatively impact students. A student I know was asked to measure his level of “privilege” through a series of questions in his freshman English class. The activity is not a problem in and of itself, but look at how “privilege” is framed by the material below and you can understand the student’s concern. “Privilege operates on personal, intrapersonal, cultural and institutional levels and gives advantages…to members of dominant groups to the expense of members of target groups…invisible to people who have it…privileges are unearned and they are granted to people whether they want those privileges or not.” In sum: If you are part of a dominant group you are privileged, you don’t need to work hard for success… things are handed to you. Whereas, if you aren’t privileged in these ways, even hard work won’t get you there. Examples of automatic privilege, as listed below, include “white” “male” “heterosexual” “middle class” “English-speaking” and more. It’s no wonder such language made a 9th-grader who can circle most of those areas “feel bad about himself.” I was told: “He was totally caught in the middle – very uncomfortable answering the questions and thinking the goal was to make him feel guilty, but at the same time he didn’t want to rock the boat and anger the teacher.” That doesn’t sound like a classroom that’s conducive to open discussions. DEI becomes particularly divisive when privilege is equated with oppression or racism, as is often done, and as you can see in some of the examples above. You’re either the oppressor or the oppressed, a bigot or a victim. Few claims could be more divisive or untrue. It should be obvious that many who might be called privileged are not racists or oppressors, and declaring them as such invites disharmony if not outright hatred between groups.)

NORTH COOK NEWS
— Proft criticizes Loyola Academy’s choice of instructional tool: ‘Spin the wheel and select a victim status’ (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly shout that the more of the following that you are, the more of a victim that you are: minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or if your ancestors have not been in America for a long time. That is, Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly shout that the more of the following that you are, the more of a victimizer that you are: White, male, older, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://northcooknews.com/stories/656729403-proft-criticizes-loyola-academy-s-choice-of-instructional-tool-spin-the-wheel-and-select-a-victim-status
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago’s Morning Answer radio host Dan Proft stirred controversy by condemning Loyola Academy’s adoption of the “Wheel of Power/Privilege” instructional tool. He suggests that the activity entails assigning or identifying individuals with varying levels of privilege or victimhood based on chance. “Spin the wheel and select a victim status,” Proft posted on X. “The Wheel of Power/Privilege instructional featured at Loyola Academy HS in Wilmette, IL, a wealthy, honky enclave where the schools, even the ostensibly Catholic ones, are self-flagellation spas to release guilt toxins.” Profit’s critique underscores what he deems to be an excessive focus on guilt and victimhood within wealthy and predominantly white communities, particularly in educational institutions. Loyola Academy is comprised of over 2,000 students. The school has been in operation since its founding by the Jesuits in 1909. The school costs $19,950 per year to attend. The wheel is an example of intersectionality, a phrase coined by academics seeking to bundle together disparate elements of society. According to the National Review, the term comes from academic Kimberlé Crenshaw’s exploration of how various identity markers intersect to shape individual experiences. Critics note that the tendency in intersectionality advocates to monopolize the experiences of marginalized groups and highlights the danger of codifying identity hierarchies. Ultimately, critics argue for a nuanced understanding of social dynamics beyond rigid theoretical frameworks, emphasizing the importance of individual perception and critical engagement with reality. In her TED Talk, Crenshaw emphasized that if someone stands at the intersection of multiple forms of exclusion, they are likely to face the impact of both. Crenshaw calls for acknowledging this reality and advocating for victims of prejudice. “Many years ago, I began to use the term “intersectionality” to deal with the fact that many of our social justice problems like racism and sexism are often overlapping, creating multiple levels of social injustice,” Crenshaw said.)

— The left must be out of ideas when they call marriage racist. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., joins ‘The Ingraham Angle’ to discuss a White professor claiming marriage fuels White supremacy. (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I unfairly benefitted from traditional marriage and family. My parents got married in 1945. They had me in 1948. My mother stayed home and raised me. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod and then to Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. They provided me with room and board while I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and e) delivered mail 1966-1969. That enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968. That enabled me to pay for my college expenses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970. That enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. Further, ever since I got married in 1978, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have unfairly benefitted from that marriage. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if I had not gotten married, I would never had been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed COPA in 1981, etc. In my defense, I had earned an MBA in 1976 and I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting in 1978.)

https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/03/18/guess-what-it-takes-to-become-a-cop-in-nashville-now-n4927404
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New York Mayor Ed Koch had a commonsense approach to hiring first responders, and it made a lifelong impression on me when I first heard it maybe 40 years ago. “I don’t care what sex a firefighter is,” Mayor Koch said all those years ago, “as long as they can carry a 200 pound Mayor out of a burning building.” When it comes to dangerous jobs — first responders, soldiers, sailors, pilots, industrial workers, etc. — every other consideration must come in second to the question of whether or not this particular applicant has the physical and mental stamina to do the job. Tell that to the folks in the Nashville Police Department where they just dropped an ability test requirement in order to increase its female force from 13% to 30%.)

For me, it was potential employers viewing me as being draft bait. My father had recently died and they did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, my GPA was not that great because I had spent far too many hours working for the Park Forest Post Office instead of studying. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. It was a job that did not really require the bachelor’s degree in management that I had earned from NIU in 1970.)

https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-powerful-pitch-teamster-leaders-listen-your-members-ditch-democrats-opinion-1878581
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Union bosses are not unaware of the sea change in American politics that has been taking place in the last several years. The Democrats, once the party of the working class and zealous in defense of its interests, have long since abandoned them. Today, they represent the interests of the credentialed elites and the poor and are more interested in heeding Wall Street hedge fund managers’ pleas for trade deals that send manufacturing jobs abroad while importing more cheap labor from immigrants—whether legal or illegal—to keep the cost of doing business low. Their adherence to the woke playbook about prioritizing race over everything else has led them to think that it is fair that working class people should pay off the student loans of those with college degrees and making more money than they ever will, something that amounts to a massive regressive transfer of income from blue collar Americans to the professional laptop class.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH BIG PICTURE: Behind the wheel without a license: Migrants buying cars to make a life in Chicago – NELL SALZMAN (COMMENT: Where did the money come to buy these cars? I bought my first car in 1964 when I was 16. It was a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air. The money came from what I had earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers the previous 2 years.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/03/17/behind-the-wheel-without-a-license-migrants-buying-cars-to-make-a-life-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Behind a West Loop migrant shelter, dozens of cars sit without license plates. Several of their owners stand nearby, acknowledging they lack licenses to drive them. But they increasingly have been driving, according to a Tribune analysis of police data that suggests sharp rises in arrests among migrants for breaking traffic laws. The analysis found many are now being detained in Chicago each week for driving- or vehicle-related infractions, roughly at five times the rate from last summer. “Start where you are. Do what you can. Use what you have,” said Jose Fernandez, 30 from Trujillo, Venezuela. It’s difficult to know for sure how many migrants are charged or ticketed because police don’t keep precise data on when they arrest asylum-seekers. But what is often available in arrest data — the arrestees’ country of birth — suggests that driving- and vehicle-related offenses have become the primary reason migrants end up being detained by officers. The Tribune focused on arrestees born in Venezuela because census figures show few native Venezuelans lived in Chicago before Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing migrants north 18 months ago, and city officials say that Venezuelans make up the majority of the over 37,000 migrants who’ve arrived since.)

— When layoffs are coming: Experts weigh in on the pros and cons of signaling downsizing. – STEPHANIE VOZZA (COMMENT: During the 1980s and 1990s, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they were making their employees who were the following pay the price of Republican-led downsizing: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. But nevertheless, I believed that they would were going to let work until I was eligible to take regular retirement in 2003 when I would have been 55. I was wrong. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49.)

— Mistakes come back to haunt state Rep. Adam Niemerg in heated downstate race. Niemerg’s Republican primary opponent, Jim Acklin, also faces nasty claims in the 102nd District race. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: If you run as a Republican, the more of the following that you are, the more negative that your opponents will go against you: conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that your “mistakes” will come back to haunt you.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2024/03/15/adam-niemerg-jim-acklin-102nd-illinois-house-republican-primary-race-election-rich-miller
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Adam Niemerg sure talks a lot, but what is he not telling you?” the ad’s announcer asked. “Well, there’s the DUI Niemerg got, more than twice the limit. And how he pleaded guilty to obscene conduct.” OK, let’s stop right there for a moment. Niemerg was busted in 2003 for DUI, speeding and possession/consumption of alcohol by a minor. He paid a fine and had to go to treatment. Then, on 4/20 (heh) of 2006, Niemerg was busted for obscene conduct. He pleaded guilty, paid a fine and was given 90 days supervision. Niemerg has not addressed the claims via his own advertising, even though “obscene conduct” can conjure up quite a large number of scenarios. Also, a lot of homeless people charged with peeing on trees end up in a heap of legal trouble, so it’s not that funny to them. The anti-Niemerg ad is also being pushed hard online, and as of last Friday afternoon, it had 232,000 YouTube views, which is more than twice the total population of a House district.)

LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
— Trump and MAGA movement now the GOP establishment – Jonah Goldberg (COMMENT: How will Trump deal with leaders of Republican organizations who hate him? I should write a book about those hate-filled Trump-hating leaders of Republican organizations who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015. I would focus on those who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.)

— DEI Got Me Sacked From My Job. It didn’t matter that my critical Facebook posts made no reference to where I worked. – Brad McDowell (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action and DEI to waste my career and to get rid of me because I ever-increasingly opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Because of the aforesaid, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— FRONT PAGE: The Rough Years That Turned Gen Z Into America’s Most Disillusioned Voters. Young adults are more skeptical of government and pessimistic about the future than any living generation before them. – Andrew Restuccia and Eliza Collins (COMMENT: As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, because of the ever-increasing adverse actions that they took against me, it was harder and harder and harder for me to be optimistic. But I nevertheless believed that they would let me work until I would have been eligible for regular retirement in 2003. But they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)

FORD AUTHORITY
— FORD MANAGEMENT BONUSES NOW DIRECTLY TIED TO QUALITY – Brett Foote (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, all my coworkers who got bonuses were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)

— Why do people stay in bad jobs? (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, a) all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and b) I was grossly overpaid. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were wealthy, who bought them cars, who paid for their college degree(s), and/or who got them good jobs.)

— Republicans’ Latest Diversity Train Wreck – Ann Coulter (COMMEMT: Anticipate/expect that RINO leaders will ever-increasingly get rid of Republican who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/print/2636473
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans’ embrace of “diversity” has been an unmitigated disaster, as illustrated most recently by Sen. Katie Britt, whose response to President Biden’s State of the Union address came with a double dose of diversity. Why was this first-term senator chosen? To boost her reelection chances? She’s from the reddest state in the Union, won her last election by 30 points, and her term doesn’t end until 2026. Because she’s an amazing public speaker? Quite obviously, it wasn’t that. She gave the response because she’s not a white male. The last time Republicans picked a white man to give the GOP response was in 2012, when Gov. Mitch Daniels gave a great speech, despite the glaring absence of any blubbering over the unique suffering of women and minorities. Which brings us to Katie. Asked to give the GOP response, she delivered it from her kitchen table because she’s a mom just like you, suburban woman who will never vote Republican. She not only was “diverse” herself, but she made sure to drag a minority into her argument against Biden’s border policy, which is to have no border. An open border, Britt told us, is bad for the illegals. This was in accordance with the modern rule of etiquette requiring that no policy be criticized unless it can be shown that it harms someone other than whites, men or Americans. Thus, for example, affirmative action has been actively screwing white people out of college admissions, jobs and promotions since at least 1970. (Allan Bakke found this out in 1973, when he was rejected from the University of California, Davis, medical school in order to make way for hilariously less-qualified minorities.) Even after decades of this open, egregious race discrimination, Republicans are terrified of stating the obvious: Discriminating against white people is unfair to white people. Instead, the preferred argument is: “It’s not good for black people, either!” Perhaps, but they’re not complaining. And we’re still stuck with the unfairness to whites. It is a remarkable fact that, after more than half a century of rank race discrimination against whites, the Supreme Court finally decided affirmative action was unconstitutional only after it was shown that racial preferences harm Asians. Similarly, Britt’s argument against the Biden policy of dragging millions of illegal aliens into our country was not that it’s unfair to Americans, although it’s their home that’s being wrecked. No, it was that our nonexistent border is bad for Mexicans. Thus, Britt said: “I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex-trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped. “The cartels put her on a mattress in a shoebox of a room, and they sent men through that door, over and over again, for hours and hours on end. “We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it.” Democrats are permanently destroying the greatest country on Earth — which happens to be where we live — but Rosalita’s life has gone from a negative 9, living in Mexico, to a negative 10 being human-trafficked. As with affirmative action, the GOP can only attack illegal immigration by saying it’s bad for the illegal immigrants, who apparently are driven by some invisible force to stream into our country. Their illegal behavior is something we’re doing to them. Help! Someone keeps burning down my house! GOP: Oh my gosh — was the arsonist hurt? In producing a diverse person to make her case, Britt botched the story six ways from Sunday. As we now know, the serial rapes didn’t happen in this country, but in Mexico. Even if they had occurred here, who did Britt imagine was doing the raping? As described in my book “Adios, America!”, child rape is rife in Latin America. It’s their culture, having nothing to do with our enticing open border. My idea: Let’s not let that rape culture come here. The rapes also didn’t happen under Biden, but under President George W. Bush. So that was great. Britt’s bleating for a diverse person gave Democrats something to talk about other than the thousands of American lives snuffed out by illegals at a rate of about 40 a week. Britt could have talked about 27-year-old Washington State Trooper Christopher Gadd, killed days before the SOTU by an illegal in a “sanctuary state”; 10-year-old A.J. Wise, killed while walking home from school last month by an illegal alien hit-and-run driver in Midland, Texas; Travis Wolf, killed in Missouri by a boozed-up illegal in December — the night before Travis’ 12th birthday; Diane Hill Luckett, mother of three, who died in March of last year after being smashed into by a drunk illegal alien with a string of criminal convictions to his name (and zero deportations); or David Breaux and Karim Abou Najm, stabbed to death by an illegal alien on a killing spree in Davis, California, last April. Half of the murdered Americans I just listed were black. But when it comes to immigration, black Americans might as well be white men. “Illegal immigrant” trumps “American” because diversity is our greatest strength.)

I would write about an IRS manager who gave me a major developmental opportunity in 1973 when I was 25 years old and promoted me in 1974 even though I was Republican, White, male, and non-veteran. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate were beyond furious that he did. My Democrat IRS superiors promptly got rid of him, disallowed my travel vouchers, disallowed my education deductions, and never promoted me again. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

The research also revealed that it takes the most money to live comfortably as a single person in New York City, requiring $66.62 in hourly wages, or an annual salary of $138,570. In six cities, a family must make over $300k to raise two kids comfortably.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: All are longtime Republicans who backed Nikki Haley in her presidential bid. All held leadership positions in her campaign. And all three are deeply skeptical of Donald Trump, or outright opposed to him. MacGovern won’t vote for Trump. Giles doesn’t see herself supporting Trump this time after casting ballots for him twice. While Moore – also a two-time Trump voter – said she is leaning against backing him again, calling him a “self-serving narcissistic and a bully and he is not the role model I want for my children and grandchildren.” Now that Haley has exited the GOP presidential primary on the heels of big losses on Super Tuesday, attention is turning to Trump’s general election campaign and whether he can unite the GOP behind him to take on President Joe Biden. Haley demonstrated in state after state that a significant minority of primary voters wanted a candidate other than Trump, and the question is whether they will accept the polarizing former president as their nominee. The answer for some is an emphatic no. “I could never vote for Donald Trump,” MacGovern said.)

All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, at least 1 of my 3 Chicago office superiors was Jewish. During my last 8 years there, 2 of those 3 were Democrat, liberal, feminist, Jewish, and younger than me. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning a) job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and b) a job-related master’s degree in 1997. They succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— California to help ‘undocumented immigrants’ purchase homes? – Eric Utter (COMMENT: What helped you become a first time home buyer? For me, it was working for IRS for 15 months, working part-time for a Firestone Store for 18 months, and working for that store full-time for 7 months before that.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/03/california_to_help_undocumented_immigrants_purchase_homes.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: California Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula has introduced Assembly Bill 1840, aimed at expanding home ownership opportunities for “undocumented immigrants” in the state. The bill would make illegal aliens eligible for first time homebuyer loans. The bill, as originally introduced earlier this year, was aimed at low- and middle-income citizens, but Arambula apparently decided that was too exclusive, and therefore recently proposed his updated version. This is yet another kick in the shorts to citizens, especially since the formerly Golden State has the highest priced housing — and by far the most homeless people — in the nation. California is already the only state to fund comprehensive health care for undocumented immigrants.)

https://dailycaller.com/2024/03/09/naked-man-lgbtq-flag-casually-strolls-down-street-seattle-washington/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A naked man waved a rainbow flag while strolling through vehicular traffic on a street in Seattle, Washington, a video showed. The unidentified man appeared oblivious of his immediate environment as he blithely strolled through traffic, with cars appearing to wait for or make their way past him, according to the video, shared Saturday on Twitter by radio host Jason Rantz of KTTH Radio under the caption, “Seattle is thriving.” The incident appeared to have occurred in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle, according to another video by the journalist Andy Ngo. The video showed what seemed to be the same man draped in the flag and lying down spreadeagled in the middle of the road, obstructing vehicular traffic. “And this why here is why my child won’t step foot in this city! It used to be a fun place to go down and explore but it’s no longer a safe place for families,” a user reacted to the video. “Exposing the little things in Seattle,” replied another. “So many beautiful cities in our great country have been destroyed… Very sad,” another said. Another wondered why laws against indecent exposure were not enforced. A user seemed to imply that the person was experiencing a mental health crisis. It is not known whether the individual was homeless or unsheltered. First-time homelessness spiked across the country between 2021 and 2022 by 25%, according to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). By 2023, a record 653,100-odd persons “were experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2023 – a 12% increase (or about 70,650 more people) from 2022,” the HUD stated. Washington was one of the five states with the largest increases in homelessness, according to HUD data. A posse of naked men cycled through some of Seattle‘s streets as part of Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Pride Parade in full view of children last June, according to several reports. The “all ages” parade to “Challenge Body Shame/Build Self Esteem” and create “Pride for Every Body” drew criticism as it crossed a line for some, according to the Washington Times. “[T]he role of the Seattle Police Department [SPD] at this particular event was to assure the safety and security of the overall event – not to regulate activities that are better left to parade organizers and the permit process,” the SPD reportedly said in a statement regarding the event to the fact-checking website, Snopes.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that if minorities and/or females are underrepresented in certain jobs, it is because Whites and/or men discriminate against them. But what about bad jobs? Minorities and/or females were underrepresented in all the jobs that I had because all the jobs that I had were bad jobs. Few if any minorities and females want to do yard work, deliver newspapers, wash dishes, clean golf shoes, chip slag, pump gasoline, deliver mail, work on an automobile assembly line, sell tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pump more gasoline, collect delinquent taxes, or audit federal agencies. It was extremely difficult for my employers to recruit and retain qualified minorities and females for the bad jobs that I had because with Affirmative Action and DEI, the minorities and females they wanted to hire, retain, and promote got better jobs elsewhere. Consequently, my employers gave the minorities and females who they were able to hire and retain tremendous preference over me.

All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were DEI hires who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.)

HAGERTY
— This is a detailed article about Frank Pope and his 1972 Corvette. We both bought new Corvettes in October of 1971; Pope was 26 and I was 23. Pope lived in Melrose Park; I lived in Crete. Pope paid for his Corvette with money he earned as a hairstylist. I paid for my Corvette with money I earned collecting delinquent taxes for IRS in Harvey and pumping gasoline part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. Pope retired 12 years ago; I retired 26 years ago. Pope has made many modifications to his Corvette; I have made virtually none to mine. Pope has driven his Corvette 42,000 miles; I have driven mine only 5,000 miles. Pope and I are still married.
https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/original-owner-a-trendy-hairstyle-helped-this-chicago-area-corvette-buff-buy-a-72-ls5-coupe-in-cash/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frank Pope could barely contain his joy upon arriving at Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet in Elmhurst, Illinois, with his girlfriend, Joanne. He’d driven about five miles from his Melrose Park home to watch his new Targa Blue 1972 Corvette roll off the auto carrier. It was October 15, 1971, a day Pope had been anxiously awaiting since ordering the car eight weeks before. With Joanne by his side, he excitedly pointed to the car. “Here I am, this 26-year-old guy, with my heart pounding,” Pope recalled for Hagerty. “It was the only one on the trailer with the big-block hood. I said to Joanne, ‘Do you see the difference from the other Corvettes on there?’ She said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Look at that hood. It’s a big-block.’ But I might as well have been speaking a different language. I told her, ‘I will never sell this car,’ and she gave me a look like she was thinking, ‘This guy must be nuts. He’s never going to ask me to marry him.’ But I did. We got engaged on Valentine’s Day 1972, and we’re still married.” Pope still has the Corvette, too, now with just 42,000 miles and still getting out for fun. Over the years, he added engine modifications while keeping the exterior and interior mostly stock. The blue Corvette fulfilled a long-time dream for the young man who’d learned his trade in barber college. . .He later left the hair styling business and became an investigator for the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County. “I retired 12 years ago. I was a deputy sheriff.”)
