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.)

— Parents say suburban Chicago school’s actions are insufficient after violent fight – Charlie De Mar
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/suburban-chicago-school-safety-actions-violent-fight/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Parents at a west suburban high school rallied Wednesday night, saying several violent fights in the school have them concerned about student safety. They took their concerns to the Wheaton/Warrenville School District 200 Board Wednesday night, and district leaders told them they have made changes to address the issue. Ever since a fight in a bathroom at Wheaton Warrenville South High School two weeks ago, which led to charges, changes have been made to bathroom policy and hall pass procedures. But students and parents say the changes are simply reactive. Wearing purple – the color used to support victims of domestic violence – parents stood up for their students outside Wheaton Warrenville South. Organizers said each flag they planted on the school lawn represents a disciplinary incident that occurred last year. “The concern is that disciplinary issues aren’t being handled appropriately,” said parent Amy Erkenswick. “The concern is we don’t have great communication with our school leadership.” “Safety is the number one goal,” said parent Brooke Gennaro. The issue came to a tipping point after a student was injured in a fight in a high school bathroom on Feb. 28. Video of the incident was posted online. “I want to know – how did we get to a place where our kids disregard their fellow students and resort to violence?” parent Rachel Padron said at the school board meeting. Since the brutal attack, two students have been criminally charged as minors. There have also been changes to high school bathroom policies – including more supervision – but students who spoke at the school board meeting Wednesday said the adjustments do not address the violence. “Locking down bathrooms doesn’t curb situations that lead to violence, or the violence itself,” said senior Nicolas Graham. “Rather, it just stops ordinary students from going to the bathroom.” “I think they were very reactive, and what we would like to see is a more proactive approach,” added Erkenswick after the meeting. “I don’t think limited bathrooms is reasonable or sustainable solution.” Meanwhile at the school board meeting, surrounded by his family, eighth-grade student Tyler Anderson shared his experience of being physically disciplined by a coach and teacher at the school. The Andersons said the teacher is still with the district. “I don’t know why he thought he needed to use his hands to discipline me,” Tyler said. “Our intent is to come tonight with hearts that are sad, and illuminate these policies,” added his mother, Lisa Anderson, “because if we don’t speak, things aren’t going to change,” Leaders at the high school started the night highlighting the positives of the school and its students. Consistent with policy, the school board did not respond to any of the public comments made Wednesday night.)

WHEATON PATCH
— ‘Vaping, Drugs, Countless Fights’: D200 Parents, Students Speak Out. A large crowd gathered at Wednesday’s board meeting to speak out about what many say is an ongoing problem with violence in the district. – Lisa Marie Farver
https://patch.com/illinois/wheaton/vaping-drugs-countless-fights-d200-parents-students-speak-out
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than a dozen parents and students took to the podium at Wednesday’s District 200 board of education meeting to share their concerns about student safety and transparency within the district after reports of violence in bathrooms at Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Before the meeting, a group of parents gathered outside the school holding signs with phrases that included, “We are speaking. Listen!” and “Safe Schools, Strong Communities.” Amy Erkenswick, one of the District 200 parents who organized the rally, told Patch she and other parents would like to see “more communication, more transparency” from the district, along with a “consistent [disciplinary and safety] structure across the district.” The rally and outcry for change was prompted by a Feb. 28 fight at Wheaton Warrenville South High School that left a teen boy unconscious. His mother told Patch in early March that he had a “concussion and contusions” after the incident. Outside the school, the group had also planted 270 purple flags, which they said represented 270 disciplinary actions (suspensions and expulsions) that were reported at Wheaton Warrenville South in 2023. At Wednesday’s meeting, some speakers addressed safety concerns related to the fight, while others shared their own stories. Some of these stories included claims of violence and harassment at other District 200 schools. . .Padron said, “with stall doors missing, locks destroyed as well as vaping, drugs and countless fights.” Parent Brook Gennaro said the district’s “lack of accountability and leadership breeds dangerous complacency.” Daneel Gonzales, a district parent and school aide, mentioned the email Wheaton Warrenville South Principal Lorie Campos shared with parents after the Feb. 28 fight. In the email, Campos mentioned “physical altercations” between students and urged parents “not assume that rumors concerning student injuries are accurate.” She said the incidents have been “targeted.” Gonzales said she was unsure whether she should send her son to school, as she was unclear whether the rumor was a reference to physical violence or a “potential school shooting.” Meanwhile, some parents and students have told Patch that there have been unprovoked attacks throughout the district. Gonzales said she has seen “staff members who get physical.” She added, “It’s disappointing…my concerns that I’ve voiced… I don’t know where they go.”)

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 should write a book about my critics/opponents who have discouraged me the most from doing that.

— All my female GAO superiors were Democrat, liberal, feminist, Jewish, and younger than me. They all took many adverse actions against me. 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.

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.)

— Sacralization of Christian concepts is nothing new. Modern political ideologies, such as socialism and fascism, have been understood as secularized versions of Christianity for a long time, at least since the French Revolution. The question is, do DEI statements clothe Christian concepts in secular garb? –

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.

Far too many of them reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal 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. Far too many of them are Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs who read them for “opposition research.” Far too many of them blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. Far too many of them shoot the messengers who bring them bad news. I should write a book about the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

LOCAL 3 NEWS
— A judge issued a new order that has allowed four candidates in Catoosa County to re-qualify for the May 21 ballot through the election commission. This is in response to the Catoosa County GOP continuing to deny those candidates a spot on the republican primary ballot. “If you want people to continue believing in the ability of the Republican party, then you have to make sure that they are voting in a way that’s consistent with our platform,” said Georgia Republican Assembly President Nathaniel Darnell. (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The RNC and Republican state, county, township, and ward party organizations should stop candidates from running as Republicans if they reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many candidates who have run as Republicans on ballots in my precinct reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the personal 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.)

To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time is to discriminate against those who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

Like in one case last September, when Naperville officers looked through the driver-side window of a parked car and reported seeing a black Glock firearm with a laser sight and “red switch,” a device that converts a handgun into a machine gun.)

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.”)

The principal job of government is to keep its citizens safe. – Michael McKenna (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders in Illinois not only do nothing to protect Illinois residents against illegals, they promote illegal immigration.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Democrat leaders alienate voters they can’t afford to lose – Brady Leonard (COMMENT: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration because illegals vote for Democrats. However, many Democrat voters lack money. The less money and/or the less education that you have, the more that illegal immigration harms you. Illegals take low-paid jobs that do not require college degrees. That drives wages down for low-paid jobs. My critics/opponents want cheap labor. My critics/opponents have always been immune from the harm that illegal immigration causes. They have/had wealthy parents who bought them cars, paid for their college expenses, got them good jobs, etc. Unlike my critics/opponents, I had to work my way through college. I escaped the harm that illegal immigration causes by earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a professional license in 1981.)

AMAC
— Republican Neanderthals? – Robert B. Charles
https://amac.us/newsline/society/republican-neanderthals/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump calls Biden “Sleepy Joe,” a term Reagan would not use, but Democrats are barrel-bottom deep. Republicans are mocked by Obama for “clinging to their guns and bibles,” as “Deplorables” by Hillary Clinton, then 70 million called “enemies of the republic,” French Revolution talk. Now, says Biden, if you are not hysterical with the climate, if you are unsure, you are a “Neanderthal.” Really? As Biden toured a remote bit of the southern border, he sounded the ultimate ideologue, asserting a dead Senate bill legalizing 5000 illegals daily was good policy, blaming Republicans for not passing it, taking no ownership of twisting asylum laws and not deporting drug and sex traffickers. He made no mention of eight million illegals shipped nationwide, record drug overdoses, crime, and homelessness. He took no ownership of his anti-citizen approach, one that – with impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas – fails to enforce seven laws requiring detention, presumably hoping illegals will vote for him in 2024, either without an ID (where allowed) or with a driver’s license, where illegals get them. The duplicity, cynicism, and anti-constitutional nature of all this, illegally populating the country, pushing illegal voting, concentrating power in one party, elevating national insecurity – is downright frightening. No president in American history has ever willingly abetted enemies of the country – here drug and human traffickers, known criminals, and potential terrorists – ignoring the citizens’ needs for political gain. No president has ever responded so glibly to thousands of violent crimes annually (8,000 to 10,000) committed by non-citizens. Two-thirds (64 percent) of federal crimes are now committed by non-citizens. No president has responded to brutal citizen murders, like the young nursing student running on her own college campus, killed by a 26-year-old non-citizen, twice caught, twice released – with the audacity to say, the current state of affairs, which he plainly authored, is the fault of Republicans.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— During an East Coast swing ahead of tomorrow’s Super Tuesday primaries, Gov. JB Pritzker called Donald Trump a “putz” and an “ass” but he said Illinois Democrats still want him on the ballot. “He’s in trouble in Illinois,” Pritzker said Sunday on MSNBC, reminding that Trump lost in Illinois in 2016 and 2020. “We want him on the ballot because he’s a detriment to Republicans across the United States but especially in Illinois.” Watch the interview here. ( https://twitter.com/TheWeekendMSNBC/status/1764311123665264949?s=20 ) The attacks were sharp during a speech Saturday in Arlington, Va., where Pritzker headlined the Democratic Party of Virginia’s pre-Super Tuesday event. (Pritzker’s Think Big America contributed $250,000 to the Virginia Democrats’ successful efforts to claim both chambers of the legislature.) In his speech, Pritzker called Trump a “putz” and an “ass” and said he is “stupid and ignorant.” The crowd ate it up. Explaining his blunt talk: “I learned an important lesson” from the 2016 presidential election, said Pritzker, who was a top fundraiser that year for Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid that Trump thwarted. “Don’t mince words in the fight of your life. Don’t hold back. This is an existential battle. I’m done giving any of these insurrectionists the benefit of the doubt. … I’m done pretending that we can debate nuance in this fight.” Will it be a strategy? Pritzker’s comments on the trail have often been echoed by his fellow surrogates, whether it’s abortion or age. The line about Trump being bad for down ballot Republicans may be a mantra. About age: Pritzker pointed to Trump “bragging about a cognitive test that he took in which they showed him a picture of a shark and a lion. … You know, that’s nice. But remember that Joe Biden is handling the complexities of the world.” – Shia Kapos

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.)

Until the summer of 2020, the only way into prestigious TJ for residents was to pass a rigorous series of entrance exams. Following the death of George Floyd, TJ officials became concerned about their low number of black students and changed admissions standards. The tests were replaced by a holistic review that included “experience factors,” eligibility for free or reduced price meals, students who are economically disadvantaged, English language learners, special education students, and students who are currently attending underrepresented middle schools. The results were as intended: Without the entrance tests, the black student population grew from 1 to 7 percent of the class, while the number of Asian students fell from 73 to 54 percent. The number of white students also fell, but no one seemed to care that they accounted for only 22 percent of admissions, despite being 65 percent of the county population.)
