SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Ready, set, go! Politicians gearing up for 2024 races descend on Illinois State Fair – Patrick Keck (COMMENT: I have always been conservative. I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999. I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000. I started attending Republican Days and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee meetings, and Illinois Republican County Chairman’s Association meetings at State Fairs and reporting on them in 2000. I started attending IRP State Conventions as a delegate in 2000. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. But because conservatives are ever-increasingly unwelcome at Republican Days, I have stopped attending them.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/08/16/dems-gop-look-to-sparkle-2024-excitement-at-illinois-state-fair/70594450007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next two days at the Illinois State Fair will feature political rallies led by both political parties as the countdown to next year’s election season marches forward. Democrats will kick off action on Wednesday with Governor’s Day and Republicans follow on Thursday. Outside of the fair, the parties will hold meetings in downtown Springfield including the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch at the Bank of Springfield Center. There, Illinois Democrats will be joined by guest speaker U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, starting at 9 a.m. before heading to the fairgrounds. Republican’s time on the Director’s Lawn will be preceded with several events, among them the Republican County Chairs’ Association president reception on Wednesday before a joint meeting with RCCA and the State Central Committee Thursday morning at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. For Democrats and Republicans alike, the fair days and meetings provide opportunities to build up its campaign finance war chests heading into 2024. No statewide candidates will be featured in next year’s election, but votes for president, U.S. Congress, the Illinois House of Representatives and a handful of state Senate seats among other local races will take place. The political days fall just more than seven months away from the March primary, but also less than three weeks from when candidates can begin circulating nomination papers. Congressional, state legislature and other local candidates begin this process on Sept. 5. Presidential candidates start on Oct. 27. All candidates have until Dec. 4 to file the papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections. . .Illinois Republicans have their work cut out for them, not holding power in any of the state’s three branches of government in addition to a smaller pool of political backers for major campaign funding. The state fair represents an opportunity for the party to make up ground in the funding battle and later support its candidates come election time. Who the party chooses to back for the White House has not been clear at this point, but it could have to put its weight behind a familiar name. National polls indicate if the presidential election were to take place today, it would be a 2020 rematch of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Already not a popular figure in Illinois, losing the state by more than 15 points in both 2016 and 2020, Trump is coming off his fourth indictment this time for allegedly tinkering with 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictments of the former commander-in-chief have prompted varying responses from GOP lawmakers in the state, some of which have pledged continued support to Trump and others to say move on. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has claimed investigations led by the U.S. Department of Justice into Trump have been politically motivated. “The American people will not tolerate this attack from Biden’s DOJ on our electoral process or our system of justice, where justice is supposed to be blind,” she said in a statement earlier this month. The party’s 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Darren Bailey, rose in prominence among Republicans before the primary thanks in part to an endorsement from the former president. Still, he and other candidates speaking at last year’s fair were mum on Trump and instead focused on what they described as failures by Democrats to control crime and spending. That backing from Trump, in the end, proved in some ways to bite Bailey in the general election where Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker won a second term with comfortable margins.)

When I was young, overcoming race and gender based preference giving was easier then than it is now, that is, overcoming discrimination against those who are the following was easier then than it is now: conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU in 1969 when I was 20, Loyola in 1972 when was 23, DePaul in 1976 when I was 27, and IIT in 1992 when I was 43; but because of my many aforesaid bad demographics, they would not admit me today if I was 18, 20, 23, or 43.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could never be corrected to 20/20. I have always had partial red/green color blindness. Since grade school I have not been able to run because a bone disease. Because my parents lacked money, I had to work my way through college.)

NBC5
— Democrats say “Mayor Brandon Johnson addresses the controversial firing of Chicago’s top doctor Allison Arwady.” To be forced to retire is to be fired. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired on September 30th of that year. If I had not taken their “offer,” I would not have been eligible to take regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. In 1998, my attorney filed a lawsuit in Washington DC against them charging them with political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) But in 2000, the lawsuit was transferred to Chicago. If my 7th Amendment rights had not been denied, that is, if I had been allowed to present my evidence to a jury, I would have proved to a jury that my Democrat GAO superiors constructively fired me so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office which what exactly they did. They made it extremely clear that if I did not retire, they would have made my next 6 years a living hell for me. They hinted that if I did not retire, their living hell for me might have been somewhat less hot if I happily agreed to be transferred to a different audit group and if I happily agreed to work for my coworkers and subordinates a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who were not a licensed CPA like I was. That is, they hinted that their living hell for me might be somewhat less hot if I happily agreed to be dramatically downgraded. They had assigned me since 1990 to their group that audits federal financial industry regulators. I had just completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. My Democrat GAO superiors had taken many adverse actions against me since I transferred from IRS where I had worked for almost 9 years. Those adverse actions included keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and after 1988. They would not have taken those adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or a veteran.

— Democrats ever-increasingly make it clear that they reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action decision. Democrats ever-increasingly run America. Anticipate/expect that because of the decision, Democrats will ever-increasingly do even more to discriminate against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, etc.

— Democrats ask “Will Mitt Romney face a ‘dogfight’ with Republicans in 2024 over his Trump criticism?” I should write a book about those Romney promoters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for Romney’s problems and b) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In my defense, after Romney won the presidential primary in 2012, I did lots to help him win the general election.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/naperville-gun-dealer-appeals-to-us-supreme-court-to-lift-assault-weapon-ban
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the battle over assault weapons in Illinois heats up, gun supporters are coming to the aid of a west suburban firearms dealer. A rally and fundraiser was held Sunday at Law Weapons in Naperville. The owner says he’s lost 85% of his business since both the state and Naperville banned the sale of assault weapons. Robert Bevis says he’s had to lay off employees and max out his credit cards to keep his store open. Bevis is suing Naperville and the state, saying the assault weapon ban is unconstitutional. “They’re infringing upon our Second Amendment rights. They’re causing due harm to every citizen that has the right to own a firearm in this state. And they’re costing people’s lives by not allowing them to get the firearms they’d like to,” Bevis said. On Friday, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban. Bevis is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and issue an injunction lifting the ban on assault weapon sales.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After a bloody clash over the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago’s Grant Park, then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot tasked a special commission with reviewing the city’s public monuments in what she said was “a racial healing and historical reckoning project.” . . . Public monuments have been a subject of spirited debate across the country for years, including in Chicago. Amid a national discussion about race in America in 2020, Columbus came under renewed scrutiny as statues across the U.S. were pulled down and local governments stopped celebrating the holiday in his name. Though Chicago was one of the cities where the monuments were lifted, Lightfoot at first resisted their removal and insisted afterward that the Grant Park statue should eventually return.)

POWERLINE
— CONSEQUENCES OF ERODING MERITOCRACY – JOHN HINDERAKER (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I owe none of my accomplishments in life to meritocracy, but instead I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against LGBTQers, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, unmarried people, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, that he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, that my mother never attended high school, and that I had to work my way through college.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Factions in the Republican Party (COMMENT: Far too few conservative organizations in Illinois focus on defending and advancing the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Based on the destruction of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the destruction of Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), if I would form a conservative organization, the same “conservative” and “religious” leaders who destroyed TAPROOT and ICRC would destroy it. I should write a book about those “conservative” and “religious” leaders. I would focus on those leaders who focus on stopping me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and on stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid planks. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me and who continue to take adverse actions against me. I would focus on those leaders who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those leaders who focus on destroying those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. Trump and I share many demographics. Both of us are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-drinkers, draft avoiders, gun-owners, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those hate-filled Trump-hating leaders who share the fewest of the aforesaid demographics with me. I would focus on those leaders who use against me my not being the member of a church, my not attending church services, my not giving money to any church, my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)

— Democrats acknowledge that “Many more Chicago-area homes have a higher risk of flooding than people realize.” I should write a book about the many thousands of hours and the many thousands of dollars since 1984 that I have had to spend to prevent storm water damage to my Wheaton home. It was built in a “watershed area” and a former septic field. Wheaton has never forgiven me for suing it for approving a grossly inadequate storm water drainage plan for the development that my home was built in. In fact, Wheaton has taken many big adverse actions against me because I sued it. I should have gotten a permanent restraining order against Wheaton.

WEDNESDAY JOURNAL
— GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters fill a tremendous void in Illinois. They bring attention to news and commentary that promote the a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage and family, c) right to life, d) immigration, e) illegal drugs, f) Second Amendment, and g) equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. The newsletters discourage Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party promotion of a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. If the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, Republican township and ward party organizations, Republican elected officials, conservative leaders and activists, and religious leaders and activists did what they should be doing, there would be no need for GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and Republicans would be the majority in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.

DAILY SIGNAL
— White House Purges 442 Reporters Using New Press Credential Rules – Rob Bluey (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that I never have been a journalist or a reporter and that I never will be one. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest public adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who stress that I do not have a degree in journalism, that I am not paid for what I do, and that I do not claim to be nonpartisan. They ignore/downplay/dismiss/belittle/demonize/denigrate/condemn the fact that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, and that most, if not virtually all, of what GAO Analysts do is extremely similar to what journalists and reporters do.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday. The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas was among the reporters slated to lose his White House press credentials, although he was given a 10-day extension “to submit the required materials.” The White House now requires reporters to obtain press credentials from Congress or the Supreme Court to fulfill its new requirement; Lucas is currently awaiting a decision on his applications to the other branches. Politico’s West Wing Playbook first reported the numbers Wednesday along with news that Simon Ateba, the White House correspondent for Today News Africa, lost his hard pass. Ateba, along with the other 441 reporters who no longer have credentials, won’t be able to attend White House press briefings or access the sprawling Pennsylvania Avenue campus unless they obtain what’s called a temporary day pass. The White House announced new rules in May to limit the number of journalists who are eligible for a White House hard pass. Reporters are still allowed to apply for a day pass, but they must do so daily and undergo Secret Service review. Up until this week, the White House didn’t disclose the number of reporters who had a hard pass. Politico reported, “Within the past three months, the number of hard pass holders dropped from 1,417 to 975, with those approved reflecting a mix of renewals and new applications.” . . . The six rules outlined in the May memo require reporters to be employed full time at an organization that disseminates news, live in the Washington, D.C., area, regularly access and cover the White House, and submit to a Secret Service investigation. They also now require pass holders to first obtain “accreditation by a press gallery in either the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, or Supreme Court.” (See the full email from the White House Press Office at the end of this story.) The memo also gives President Joe Biden’s press team greater power to expel journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” Ateba regularly sparred with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, leading to stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and an appearance on the now-canceled “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Last month, the White House Press Office sent Ateba a warning that he risked expulsion if he continued to interrupt briefings in violation of the new rules.)

— Biden administration has given $2.35 BILLION to the Taliban since the withdrawal: Damning report reveals huge wastes in taxpayers funds after 20 years in Afghanistan – MORGAN PHILLIPS,
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12386035/Biden-administration-given-2-35-BILLION-Taliban-withdrawal-Damning-report-reveals-huge-wastes-taxpayers-funds-20-years-Afghanistan.html

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Notice of Public Meeting RE: Iron Gate – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

High Point Investments in Aurora is petitioning for a zoning change for approximately 5 acres of land immediately west of Iron Gate Motor Plaza in northwest Naperville and immediately north of a wetland/retention area to build a facility for Sunbelt Rentals. The land was originally zoned commercial. But High Point had the land rezoned residential. But then High Point cancelled its proposed residential use of the land. Now, High Point wants the land rezoned back to commercial.

My wife and I recently received a “Notice of Public Meeting:” It is for a meeting on High Point’s rezoning petition and it is scheduled for 7PM on Tuesday, August 15, 2023 in the Naperville City Hall.

My wife and I recently sold for $235,000 our much smaller Iron Gate unit that we bought for $210,000 in December of 2020. With that $235,000 and with money that I recently inherited, we paid $565,000 for a much larger unit immediately east of the proposed Sunbelt facility. We did not learn of the proposed Sunbelt facility until after we committed to buy the unit. We now know that the proposed Sunbelt facility would substantially and adversely impact the value of our unit. It would ruin the view to the west of our unit.

Sunbelt stores outside and rents out very large construction equipment.

According to one objector, the view that the proposed Sunbelt facility would present would be “objectionable” and would “negatively impact the views of the most expensive west end garage units that Tom sold at a premium because of the great views” and “No amount of landscaping/fencing/screening can soften the views of extended boom lifts” and the proposed Sunbelt facility is “not consistent with the overall intent and cohesiveness of the entire Iron Gate concept.” He wants the land to be used for something that is “complementary and cohesive with the original plan.”

He has asked me and other unit owners to consider calling and/or emailing Naperville City Council members and/or speaking during the August 15 public meeting.

The money that earned doing the aforesaid bad jobs enabled me a) to buy a 1958 Chevrolet in 1964, b) to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) to pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) to pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, and g) to graduate from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— DuPage GOP fundraising sinks to $26.48 in second quarter of 2023. (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, if not already, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) leaders will officially blame conservative Republicans for DCRCC’s fundraising and other problems, and especially blame conservative Republicans like me a) who support the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and/or b) who share lots of Trump’s demographics including heterosexual, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or who have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about those DCRCC leaders who since 2000 have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for DCRCC’s problems and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155694-dupage-gop-fundraising-sinks-to-26-48-in-second-quarter-of-2023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Republican Central Committee has had virtually no funds donated to it in the second quarter of 2023. According to the report, the committee received a total of $26.48 in contributions during the three-month period. The details were released in the DuPage County Republican Central Committee D-2 Quarterly Report to the Illinois State Board of Elections covering the period from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. “The June 2023 Quarterly Report must include all committee activity from April 1, 2023, up to and including June 30, 2023,” the Illinois State Board of Elections stated on its website. “This Quarterly Report must be filed by all active political committees, regardless of whether the committee had any activity during that period of time.” The lack of fundraising comes amid Republican in-fighting over donations to the Democratic DuPage County Chair Deb Conroy from notable Republicans including DuPage County Board Member Sam Tornatore and former DuPage County Board member Donald Puchalski. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni, was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. DuPage GOP Chair Jim Zay explained away the donations to Conroy in a letter to the county’s GOP faithful. Zay has steadfastly refused to criticize fellow Republicans who financially and materially supported Democrats in the once-Republican stronghold as GOP hopes and funds have plummeted. In a letter to the DuPage GOP, Zay emphasized the need for unity within the party and calls for an end to public criticism of fellow Republicans, stating that it only weakens the party and hinders its ability to expand its base. The statement came after Tornatore and Puchalski were outed by the DuPage Policy Journal for making campaign donations to Conroy, drawing attention and controversy within the party. Now, activists have turned their sights on Zay himself, who oversaw the paltry fundraising effort. In an appearance at the Downers Grove Republican Township Organization, Zay and Tornatore explained away the material support for party opponents. “Chairman Zay’s remarks focused on coming together as Republicans and not dwell in the past,” Noel Manley, a Downers Grove Republican Committeeman, told DuPage Policy Journal after the July 10 meeting. “Both justified their actions as efforts necessary to protect the budgets of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. “However, what struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated in their explanations. Specifically, their justifications were peppered with comments such as, ‘I didn’t have to be here tonight.’ In addition, questions and comments raised by committeemen regarding the lack of support in recent elections, and contributions to Democrat events were simply dismissed or ignored. In fact, there was no effort to demonstrate any humility or contriteness regarding these matters.”)
— The fact that the DuPage GOP raised only $25.00 in Q2 reflects the quality of leadership at the county level. – Noel Manley (COMMENT: I should write a book about DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my leadership of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois the most.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155698-manley-the-fact-that-the-dupage-gop-raised-only-25-00-in-q2-reflects-the-quality-of-leadership-at-the-county-level
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Noel Manley, a Downers Grove Republican committeeman, has expressed strong criticism of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee’s fundraising efforts for the second quarter of 2023. The committee reported raising only $25.00 during the three-month period, leading Manley to question the quality of leadership within the county’s GOP. “The fact that the DuPage GOP raised only $25.00 in Q2 reflects the quality of leadership at the county level,” Manley told the DuPage Policy Journal. “The job of DuPage GOP leadership is to serve as the number one booster for raising money, recruiting quality candidates, and setting a vision for future Republican efforts at the county, state, and federal levels. Sadly, $25.00 is not going to get the job done.” According to the report, the committee received a total of $26.48 in contributions during the three-month period. The details were released in the DuPage County Republican Central Committee D-2 Quarterly Report to the Illinois State Board of Elections covering the period from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. Manley is one of several critics of DuPage GOP Chairman Jim Zay who refused to denounce fellow Republicans amid revelations that key members of the DuPage County Republican leadership have been funding the campaigns of Democrats. In response, Zay said he identifies as a “Reagan Republican,” and believes in the principle of being a “Big Tent” Party, accommodating all Republicans regardless of their varying views on certain issues noting “true leadership is bringing people together.” Zay’s comments run counter to his performance over a disastrous three years in which local Republicans have lost several elections. “Finger-pointing and fighting is not the answer and that path will only continue to election losses,” Zay said in a letter addressing criticism of three high-ranking officials who donated to Democrats, DuPage Policy Journal previously reported. “I am not saying that anyone should change their principles but telling others to change theirs doesn’t work either. If we don’t come together as a Party then we will be destined to be the minority party for years to come.” Zay’s comments came after DuPage Policy Journal revealed donations to Democratic DuPage County Chair Deb Conroy from notable Republicans including DuPage County Board Member Sam Tornatore and former DuPage County Board member Donald Puchalski. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. Tornatore also provided $250 to “activist prosecutor” Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s election efforts. Puchalski, who was a board member at the time, chipped in $500 to the week prior to Foxx’s election in 2016. Since Foxx assumed that role, Chicago has become crime-ridden as a direct result of her soft-on-crime policies that have encouraged not prosecuting or incarcerating known serial criminals responsible for even the worst crimes, such as murder.)
— Safe Suburbs USA on Chicago shifting immigrant crisis to suburbs: ‘Is your community one that is agreeing to do this?’ (COMMENT: Do you live in DuPage County? How many of the 32,000+ illegals who already live in DuPage County live your DuPage County District, in your township, in your municipality, in your municipal district, in your school district, and in your precinct? How many illegals are Democrat and RINO officials sending there?)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/648155692-safe-suburbs-usa-on-chicago-shifting-immigrant-crisis-to-suburbs-is-your-community-one-that-is-agreeing-to-do-this
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Safe Suburbs USA is questioning which suburban communities Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is planning on partnering with to punt the city’s illegal immigrant population. As of 2023, Chicago’s sanctuary status has attracted over 800,000 undocumented residents. “Mayor Johnson says he’s been in dialogue with suburban cities to help share the migrant burden,” Safe Suburbs USA said on Twitter. “Johnson says he sees suburban support on the horizon. Is your community one that is agreeing to do this?” Johnson noted in a recent press conference that he had been in discussions with suburban governments to accept the border crossers. “We see some real support on the horizon,” Johnson said at the press conference, Chicago City Wire reported. The Migration Policy Institute reports DuPage County, where Safe Suburbs USA, is based is already home to over 32,000 illegal immigrants, which is over three times the 10,000 reported in each of the counties of DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Will in 2014 by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. The bulk of the undocumented population comprises those aged 35 to 44. But that figure pales in comparison to Chicago’s staggering population of 829,000, according to NBC News, which also reports Chicago’s open arms policies have given illegal immigrants a soft landing spot. The city has taken to setting up temporary shelters, sometimes in police stations where allegations of sexual impropriety have arisen, and committing millions of taxpayer dollars to provide for those in the country illegally. While former mayor Lori Lightfoot spoke welcoming words to those incoming she later changed her tune when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending border crosses to Chicago and other Democrat-controlled sanctuary cities by the busload. Johnson has similarly toed a line between welcoming the undocumented to the city – where there is no longer room – while condemning the politics of those seeking to put an end to illegal border crossings. Thus, Johnson’s move to push the undocumented to the suburbs.)

— The Remaking of America. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault. – Victor Davis Hanson
https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/07/the-remaking-of-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath. The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a mere decade ago. Here are 10 upheavals that the Left has successfully wrought. . .Race, Not Class. Racial inequality and lack of parity are due to “whiteness.” Racial quotas, segregated dorms, graduations, workshops, and safe spaces are exempt from civil rights statutes given they are necessary to achieve equity. Integration and assimilation are the opiates of the masses. Apartheid and segregation are misunderstood modalities, and thus, if enlightened, sometimes necessary corrective measures. Reparations are to supersede ineffective affirmative action. Wokeness liberates us to see how race explains everything in America, past and present. At universities and in popular culture “proportional representation” of various ethnicities and races is no longer sufficient remedy. Instead reparatory hiring and admissions are required to atone for prior generations of discrimination. It is taboo to suggest that cultural conditions not just race accounts for inequality. Everything from meritocracy to promptness to physical fitness is racist in nature, requiring DEI experts to expose and inform about the systemic nature of American racism.)

— Think tanks file suit to block Biden administration’s plan to cancel $39B in student loans. New Civil Liberties Alliance filed the lawsuit in Michigan Friday on behalf of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Cato Institute. – Landon Mion (COMMENT: If I had gotten a student loan to pay for my 1bachelor’s degree in 1970, I would have paid it off quickly with the money that I earned working for Firestone Stores 1970-1972 and for IRS 1971-1980. Further, my grades would have been much better and I would gotten much better paying jobs. But as it was, I worked my way through college and still had enough money to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile in 1967, to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger. Granted, tuition was much less back then, but I avoided room and board costs by living with my parents in Crete while I a) took classes at UIC 1966-1968, b) worked for the Park Forest Post Office weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969)

YAHOO FINANCE
— Democrats say “Advancing Black Wealth Tour Coming to Oakland & Chicago in August.” Why do you have the wealth that you have? According to my critics/opponents, my wealth came from my benefitting from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I had to, and I did, work my way through college.

ABC NEWS
— Democrats say “Illinois to ban advertising for guns allegedly marketed to kids and militants.” If I sought any of political or government office, my critics/opponents would stress that I have owned firearms since I was in high school and that I have had a FOID card since I was 20 in 1968. In my defense, I stress that if my best friend in high school had not encouraged me to go hunting with him, I might never have owned a firearm.

KEVIN MD
— How to handle a toxic person – BETHANY SILVERMAN (COMMENT: My critics/opponents are extremely judgmental. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have painted me as being Trump’s representative in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County since 2015. I would focus on those who demonstrate more hatred against those the more demographics that they share with Trump. Both Trump and I are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft-avoiders, gun-owners, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those who still have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business (COMMENT: I started taking and deducting graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 when I was a 23-year-old IRS employee and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat IRS superiors ignored, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned my taking those courses. In 1974, they disallowed my travel vouchers. In 1975, they forced the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 to transfer to Texas. In 1978, they disallowed my education deductions arguing a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business and/or to get a job in the private sector, and d) that the courses were a distraction. To make the aforesaid false and disgusting arguments, they had to a) ignore the GS-7, GS-9, GS-11, and GS-12 position descriptions that they had given me, b) ignore the fact that the employee manual that they had given me in 1971 encouraged me to take the courses, and c) ignore the reasons why I took the courses that I stated in my Loyola admission application. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had not been a National Treasury Employees Union member. In 1979, the tax court sided with me and allowed all the courses.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— Democrats crow that “Republican party organizations in some states are grappling with deep divisions.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Disgustingly, tragically, and unacceptably, ever-increasingly, since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives if not conservative-haters. Most commonly, they reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Anticipate/expect that the aforesaid anti-conservatives and conservative-haters will do everything that they can to officially strike the aforesaid planks from the IRP platform at the IRP State Convention next year.
https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-08-06/republican-party-organizations-in-some-states-are-grappling-with-deep-divisions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some state Republican parties are struggling. In Colorado, Michigan and Minnesota, to name a few, the parties’ organizations have suffered heavy election losses and are experiencing deep disagreements about the future of the GOP.)

FOX ST. LOUIS
— Democrats say “Trump targets judge in Jan. 6 case, says legal team will ask for recusal.” All the judges and justices in Diersen v.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats say “Vivek Ramaswamy’s Hindu faith is front and center in his GOP presidential campaign.” I have never hidden the fact a) that my parents had me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL and b) that I am 100% German American. I should write a book about those who have used those facts against me the most.

WAND TV
— Democrats say “Pritzker signs bills honoring ancestry of Native Americans in Illinois.” Because one of my coworkers was a Native American, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated him far better than they treated me even though he shared many of my bad demographics: male, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, CPA, in a traditional marriage, homeowner, non-poor, Protestant, DuPage County resident, and someone whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he was to the left of me, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had two, he had not taken let alone passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform, The Republican Party platform is conservative. Why do political jurisdictions trend Democratic? I should write a book about that. I would focus Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct. I would focus on Republican Party leaders and elected officials who ever-increasingly since at least the 1970s a) fail/refuse to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, b) hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters, and c) get rid of conservative Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, precinct committeemen, etc.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/07/mccarthy-heading-to-illinois-for-bost-00110076
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Butler’s victory is otherwise an anomaly in Will County, which is trending Democratic. “I see nothing happening that’s going to stop that,” said Roger Claar, the former longtime mayor of Bolingbrook, who previously sat on the Illinois Republican State Central Committee. Jim Durkin agrees: “There’s some pretty high-spirited Republicans in Will County that trend extremely conservative, but it doesn’t match up and it doesn’t play in a general election,” the former Illinois House GOP leader said.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Group Behind Harvard Affirmative Action Victory Now Targeting Military Service Academies. Students for Fair Admissions is actively looking for suitable plaintiffs with which to initiate suit against the service academies so as to eradicate affirmative action there as well; this is critical because a “selfless-servant, ‘colorblind’ culture is a national security imperative that is seriously weakened by racial preferences” – James Nault (COMMENT: On September 29, 1988, when I was a 40 year old GS-13 Step 3 (currently $117,047/year) GAO Analyst, I was successfully recruited to be a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My Democrat GAO superiors had a) recently thrown me off audits of IRS, b) forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13 in 1986, c) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1986, d) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, e) given me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, f) assigned me to supervise all their employees who had performance problems, and g) forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. All my GAO coworkers who my Democrat GAO superiors had promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, had less job-related work experience than I had, had less job-related education than I had, had fewer or no job-related professional certifications or licenses, were non-Protestant, were non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

JUST THE NEWS
— Illegal immigrants in colleges soar to nearly 2% of population
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/education/sunillegal-immigrants-colleges-soars-nearly-2-population-study-finds
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vast majority of 408,000 illegal alien college students arrived in the U.S. during their formative years, either as children or teenagers and most often through former President Barack Obama’s DACA program. At least 408,000 students without legal documentation to be in the country enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, yet another system impacted by the surge in illegal immigration, according to a new study. The new report by the American Immigration Council and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education, found that undocumented migrants now account for nearly 2 percent of the higher education population. The vast majority, the authors noted, arrived in the U.S. in their formative years, either as children or teenagers and most often through former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that blocked deportation of certain foreign youth. These students, often referred to as “Dreamers,” have grown up in “American neighborhoods and attended American schools,” and now they are attending U.S. colleges, often on the American taxpayers’ dime. Recent data shows that taxpayers pay $182 billion each year to provide services and benefits to illegals and their dependents. The current total of illegal alien college students actually represents a slight decrease from 2019, when 427,000 undocumented students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. “The drop,” according to the report, “likely reflects overall enrollment decline due to the pandemic and economic pressures, as well as factors that specifically impact undocumented individuals, such as the continued legal challenges to DACA.” The authors noted the number of young people with DACA protection or who are DACA-eligible is on the decline, “from 182,000 in 2019 to 141,000 in 2021.” One of the primary reasons for this involves “the program’s lack of updates to include individuals who arrived in the U.S. after 2007, which is the specified eligibility date.” For example, if someone arrived in the U.S. at the age of 3 in 2008, they would now be of prime college age yet ineligible for DACA. Undocumented students “represent a heterogeneous population in higher education, reflecting the broad range and overall diversity of first-generation immigrants in the United States.” For example, nearly half (46 percent) of undocumented students are Hispanic; more than 1 in 4 (27 percent) are AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander); and close to 14 percent are black. Meanwhile, 10 percent of undocumented students are white. The report noted that “undocumented students in higher education are concentrated in a small number of states.” In fact, 75 percent of undocumented students reside in 12 states. The vast majority of this 75 percent hail from just four states: California, Texas, Florida and New York. The study also gives significant detail on which colleges and universities are the biggest draw for illegal aliens: more than 77 percent are enrolled in “public two- and four-year colleges and universities, with a significant proportion of these students attending community colleges,” it said. Less than one in four (23 percent) of these students are attending private colleges and universities. As for DACA-eligible students, more than 4 in 5 (80.8 percent) attend public institutions, while close to 1 in 5 (19.2 percent) of them are attending private institutions. Although the percentage of both undocumented and DACA-eligible students attending public institutions slightly decreased between 2019 and 2021, the number of those attending private institutions actually increased. Finally, although most undocumented students are actively pursuing undergraduate degrees, the report shows that “a significant portion” are completing Masters and Ph.D. programs. To be specific, “14.2 percent of all undocumented students were pursuing graduate or professional degrees in 2021, a 3.9 percentage point increase from 2019, when 10.3 percent were.” Moreover, close to 1 in 5 (19.3 percent) of “DACA-eligible students were pursuing graduate or professional degrees, a 6.5 percentage point increase since 2019.” Through his foundation, Obama recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of DACA with a roundtable of students who benefitted and urged the current administration to give such aliens – many now adults – permanent lawful status. “I hope all of you continue to be advocates in whatever your professional lives are,” Obama said last month. “I think that it is going to be a long road for us – and so the more voices like yours are out there, the better chance we have of changing people’s attitudes. Part of the reason why we feel like it’s important on this 10th anniversary to highlight it, is because it’s not done.” “Having seen the remarkable things that this group of DACA kids have done with their lives, what an asset they are to this country, I hope it inspires us to redouble our efforts to permanently resolve their status,” he said. Some Republicans, however, are pressing in a different direction. Florida Gov, Ron DeSantis, a 2024 presidential candidate, earlier this year proposed eliminating in-state college tuition for undocumented students and beneficiaries of DACA, saying it isn’t fair for taxpayers to subsidize college degrees for those illegally in the country. But the Florida legislature did not act on the proposal during the 2023 session, delaying it for at least a year. Arizona voters last November approved in-state tuition for Dreamers.)

— Democrats say “Conservative Groups Sue to Block Biden Plan Canceling $39 Billion in Student Loans.” I did not seek a student loan and I would not have gotten one if I had sought one. No one viewed me as being college material. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I worked my way through college.)
