How soon and where will Democrat leaders house their illegals in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district?

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Mayor Johnson calls on state to build migrant shelters outside Chicago – Alice Yin
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-brandon-johnson-migrants-shelter-20240124-x64wt7s5cbd4laf5phnrabfbay-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker on Monday said the Johnson administration had not told the state “where they would like us to put our resources” to build new shelters, “so we can’t help if they don’t identify those locations.” Johnson countered Wednesday that “the state has received a number of locations that they can build a shelter at.” He did not elaborate. But city officials said they have recommended to Pritzker’s administration potential sites outside Chicago, sometimes with specific buildings in mind, a notion the governor’s office disputes. “And you know, again, just keep in mind that the state of Illinois can build a shelter anywhere in the state of Illinois. So, the state does not have to build a shelter in Chicago,” he said.)

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

— Paul Vallas has declined to take part in the Chicago GOP fundraiser that we wrote about Wednesday. “In the last week I was asked to speak at a community forum. Unbeknownst to me it was a GOP fundraiser, and my name and likeness was used without my permission to promote the event,” he posted on social media. “I will not be attending the event.” Different take from the GOP: “Mr. Vallas was invited as a policy expert who is affiliated with the Illinois Policy Institute, not a politician,” wrote Chicago Republican Party Chair Steve Boulton in a statement. “We have hosted other policy experts at past events. The nature of the event was fully explained to Mr. Vallas.” – SHIA KAPOS

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

— Boston announces reparations task force that will study impact slavery had on residents: City ‘on trial’ Boston is the latest big city exploring reparations to its Black residents. – Joshua Q. Nelson (COMMENT: What is your hometown? Diersens lived in Crete 1854-2022. My parents and all my ancestors were 100% German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, it was full of German American Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. In my defense, I have often had to stress that my grandfather fought the Germans in WWI, that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and that my wife of 46 years is Catholic. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— Legislators must act to address migrant crisis – State Sen. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport
https://www.rrstar.com/story/opinion/columns/2024/01/20/your-turn-legislators-must-act-to-address-migrant-crisis/72268455007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the last 18 months, Gov. JB Pritzker has issued consecutive 30-day disaster proclamations for the State of Illinois as it relates to the migrant crisis and the hordes of non-citizens making their way to Illinois from the U.S. southern border. These orders grant him massive power to bypass the Legislature, a co-equal branch of government, and move and spend budget dollars how he sees fit. Indeed, Governor Pritzker and I do not agree on much, but we agree that the flood of migrants into Illinois is a crisis. When these people arrive, they need shelter, food, and often healthcare. Children must be enrolled in schools, and because they are primarily non-English-speaking, they require additional resources to help them learn. These things cost money and resources that most communities cannot spare. Every tax dollar that is diverted to fund the needs of migrants is a dollar that is siphoned away from Illinois citizens who are hungry, Illinois veterans who need help, Illinois citizens living with disabilities, and lower-income Illinois citizens who rely on their state government for essential services, like food on their table and a warm house in the winter. Governor Pritzker and the Mayor of Chicago are pointing fingers at border state governors and begging President Biden for financial assistance when they should be taking some responsibility for a crisis that is mainly of their own making. Illinois has rolled out the welcome mat to migrants and illegal immigrants. When you loudly proclaim that Illinois welcomes migrants and illegal immigrants regardless of their status, you shouldn’t be too surprised when they show up. Illinois became a de-facto Sanctuary State when majority party Democrats passed Senate Bill 31 in the 100th General Assembly (2017-2018). This law, named the “Trust Act,” prohibits Illinois law enforcement personnel from coordinating with federal immigration officials to enforce immigration laws. Then, in the 101st General Assembly (2019-2020), Democrats enacted laws that provide free health insurance, first for senior illegal immigrants, then for illegal immigrants aged 55-64, and ultimately for all illegal immigrants aged 52+. During this time, they also extended college tuition grants to illegal immigrants and tweaked court system procedures so that an individual’s immigration status could not be used against them. In the 102nd General Assembly (2021-2022), Medicaid coverage for illegal immigrants was expanded, and they became eligible for certain tax credits and state utility assistance programs. Both migrants and illegal immigrants were also provided with access to public defenders for immigration cases. In the current 103rd General Assembly, Democrats created a process for them to obtain driver’s licenses and housing assistance and provided a pathway for some migrants to become sworn police officers. Is it any wonder that Illinois is a premier destination state for the undocumented? I recently sent a survey to residents of the 45th District. It was sent with no regard to political affiliation. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all received it. On the issue of support or non-support of free healthcare for illegal immigrants, as of January 1, 2024, a resounding 81.5% of all respondents said they were opposed to the State of Illinois providing free healthcare to those in this country illegally. It is time to unwind the policies that have made this state a destination for the undocumented, beginning with a full repeal of the Trust Act. Illegal immigration is just that — illegal. Law enforcement should be able to work with federal officials to enforce our immigration laws. Secondly, I recommend the elimination of free healthcare for migrants and illegal immigrants. Over 80% of the survey respondents in my district want this, so it is legislation I will be proud to carry. And lastly, we need to roll back the host of other policies mentioned above that have made Illinois a de-facto Sanctuary State and a destination for migrants and illegal immigrants. In my opinion, this is the most important issue facing lawmakers during the 2024 session, and I am willing to work with any legislator who wants to unwind bad policies and place our state back on a better path.)

Virtually all of them were female and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/01/20/college-essays-the-affirmative-action-workaround-n606296
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In short, students can still write essays about how race has factored into their lives but it has to be specific and not based on checking a box. Within days the Washington Post had published a story about how colleges were already planning to help educate prospective students about how to get around the new limitations on considering race directly in admissions. . .This of course assumed that students weren’t already well aware that the essays were the best chance they had to make race work for them. The NY Times had already published an account from a college professor who had spent his grad school years making side money by helping students with applications. He said the students already knew how the game worked. . .Students applying for top colleges aren’t dumb. And now that the rules have changed, they are still doing their best to work the system. . .This is exactly the sort of thing that everyone predicted would happen. College essays are now a back door for putting race front and center before admissions officers. The schools haven’t given up on race-conscious admissions, they are just doing their best to find a legal workaround that will allow them to generate the same outcome. Put another way, the same incentives and disincentives are still there depending on your race you just have to be a little more explicit about it to game the system these days.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— University of Wisconsin Law School Forcing Students To Endure Racist DEI Reeducation. “This ‘DEI training’ is a form of indoctrination and demeans law students based on their race.” (COMMENT: My critics/opponents talk and act like they agree with the University of Wisconsin Law School. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) are/were rich, b) bought them cars, c) paid their colleges expenses, d) got them jobs, e) etc.)
https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/01/univ-wisconsin-law-school-forcing-students-to-endure-racist-dei-reeducation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for the session, law students are asked to study a description of “racist” behaviors, including the false claim that non-discrimination is “racist” and a collection of other assertions about “whites” and “people of color” that actually are racist. It would be one thing if the law school proposed an academic debate about such matters. But no one believes for one moment that’s what this session is about. This “DEI training” is a form of indoctrination and demeans law students based on their race. WILL strongly condemns this meeting’s proposed subject matter and demands that any racially discriminatory instruction be removed. By pushing racist ideology on law students, the University is defying federal law, creating a racially hostile environment, and harming individual student dignity. . .The attachments assert a racist view of the world and propagate harmful racial stereotypes. The materials assert the following claims: Only white people can be racist. Advocating for a “colorblind” society is racist and “negates” the “experiences of people of color.” It is racist to attack affirmative action. All white people experience “privilege based on your white skin color. You benefit from this system of oppression and advantage no matter what your intentions are.” White people have a “fear of people of color and what would happen if they gained control.” White people all are infected with “whiteness,” “white guilt,” “denial,” “fear,” and “privilege.” Ridding white people of “racist conditioning” “will never happen.” “There are no exceptional white people” such that all are tainted by skin color. “All white people are the “beneficiaries of racism and white privilege.” White people should never talk about their “own story of hardship” because it “diminishes the experiences of people of color.” All white people “attempt to excuse, defend or cover up racist actions of other white people.”)

POWER LINE
— THE DEEP MEANING OF DEI – SCOTT JOHNSON
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/the-deep-meaning-of-dei.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College presidents, if they are not members of the Democratic Party, invariably come into office pledging to enlarge the diversity regime, which further cements the party–academic alliance. College faculties are overwhelmingly Democratic and progressive in their affiliations. College campuses are now a “base” of the Democratic Party. Academic administrators, of whom there are now many, are typically hired today to advance one or another aspect of the diversity regime. One will find few conservatives in faculty or administrative posts because they oppose the diversity regime, and so cannot be hired. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the DEI movement, in large part thanks to its alliance with the Democratic Party, has locked up control over America’s leading universities. The enterprise is especially influential not only because DEI is the official doctrine of the university, but also because it leans on powerful external allies in the Democratic Party. For that reason, it was shocking that a few outside critics should have been able to topple Ms. Gay while dishing out an embarrassing lesson to Harvard’s establishment. . .Ours is not the first country in which universities have fallen under control of political parties. The history of these kinds of relationships is far from benign. Nazi leaders in Germany targeted universities for control and used them to implement party policies and spread their malignant ideology. Many of these universities were among the finest in the world before the Nazis took over. Something similar happened in the Soviet Union, though there the universities were captured by Marxism–Leninism and the Communist Party. In neither country were speakers allowed to appear on university campuses to promote ideas in opposition to party dogmas. Authorities under those regimes did not appoint university heads on the basis of scholarly credentials but rather because of their loyalty to the party and its ideology. Everyone knows how those enterprises ended. Is it a good thing that American universities are controlled by the Democratic Party, and circulate its ideological dogmas? Obviously not—and for that reason universities and the diversity agenda will inevitably confront a political reckoning.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) are/were rich, b) bought them cars, c) paid their colleges expenses, d) got them jobs, e) etc.)
https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2024/01/19/build-wall-heres-why-immigrants-will-still-come-us-letters/
(FROM THE LETTER: You can build a wall, you can talk tough about immigrants “poisoning” our blood, but until you start going after American businesses, and their owners, for knowingly hiring millions of workers without documentation, not much will change. I’ve know many immigrants, documented and not, and every single one of them was here to work, and every single one of them found work. Illegal immigration will drop dramatically if E-Verify is required for every employer in the country, no wall needed. The flip side of this is we will then have a massive shortage of labor, as most Americans do not want to do the farm, hotel, restaurant and roofing/construction jobs that these immigrants do so well. Rarely do I hear politicians talk about the root causes of illegal immigration: terrible conditions in the immigrants’ country of origin combined with millions of available jobs here in the United States, happily given to them by American business owners. Any serious discussion of immigration must address these issues, with significant fines and/or jail time for hiring illegally, while simultaneously developing and expanding a robust guest worker visa program to accommodate, legally, the immigrants that will do the jobs Americans simply will not do.)

Because of Bowsher, GAO is just barely a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Republican-led budget cuts to shrink the agency from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000. All the GAO employees who Bowsher got rid of were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, and/or did not have a degree from an Ivy Leage university. I am all of the aforesaid. I should write a book about Bowsher. Bowsher made the following worthless: a) my three job-related master’s degrees (Loyola-business-1976, DePaul-accounting-1980, and IIT-finance-1997), b) my six job-related professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accountiong-1997), and c) my job-related professional license (accounting-1981).)

Consequently, I had to work to have money to buy cars (1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and to pay for college expenses (UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970). I should write a book about my critics/opponents whose parents had college degrees, who had lots of money, who bought their children cars, who paid for their college expenses, who got them jobs, etc.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffutsch/2024/01/13/a-manifesto-on-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei-n2633581
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Toe the line or face backlash. That, sadly, is the position in which “woke” companies, employees, universities and faculty now find themselves. It’s time to write those statements or pay a price. The statement must fall in line, too, in helping define what is acceptable within the limits of their ideological sphere. That sphere, unfortunately, is not very large. Acceptable statements must bow to how The Left wants its DEI initiatives interpreted. Look up any number of DEI statements from companies you know, and you will find much of the following: Diversity must mean diversity based on race, skin color, sexual identity, sexual preference, etc. Equity must mean equality of outcome, or something is inherently biased or oppressive. Inclusion must mean everyone is included that agrees with their ideological bent. Excluded are those holding different opinions; they are from the oppressive class, a term defined by them, of course).

BLACK CHRONICLE
— The more demographics that you share with Trump, the more that Democrats and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, non-veteran, non-poor, gun-owner, married, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.

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

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

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

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: City Council sides with mayor on Chicago police contract: More money for cops but disciplinary provision rebuffed – Sam Charles, A.D. Quig and Alice Yin (COMMENT: I have been an arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( https://www.finra.org/arbitration-mediation ) since 1998.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-city-council-vote-fop-contract-arbitration-20231213-fka2txhzyba5lnth6ux5cbiwj4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 33-17 vote defeating the arbitration clause nixes a major part of a deal announced less than two months ago as a major political win by Johnson’s administration with the union representing most of Chicago’s police force. The council’s rejection, and its reasoning for it, will now head back to arbitrator Edwin Benn, who earlier this year voted for the arbitration clause and could send that same ruling back to aldermen within weeks. The battle could ultimately end up in circuit court. In an unusual move at Johnson’s request, the arbitration matter was voted on separately from the rest of the contract, including raises for rank-and-file officers totaling 20% over four years that was approved by the full council with no debate.)
— Be very afraid for Chicago’s stellar selective-enrollment schools – Editorial (COMMENT: How successful were you in high school?

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would stress their parents’ education and wealth.)

— DuPage County District 4 Republican voters anxiously await the DuPage County Republican Central Committee to fill the DuPage County District 4 Board vacancy on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-05-26-0005260258-story.html
(FROM THE May 26, 2000 ARTICLE: Monday was the statutory deadline for established political parties to fill vacancies on the November ballot where no candidate sought the nomination in the March primaries. In addition to the two County Board candidates and two countywide candidates picked for the ballot a few weeks ago by the DuPage Democratic organization, the party has added Richard Hass of Elmhurst to run in County Board District 2 in east central DuPage. Also added to the ballot recently were investment consultant Thomas Mason of Downers Grove, who will challenge U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) in the 13th Congressional District, and Stephanie Downs Hughes of Naperville, who was picked by Kane and DuPage Democrats to oppose state Sen. Chris Lauzen (R-Aurora) in the 21st Senate District. As of Thursday, however, DuPage Democrats still were researching why the DuPage County Election Commission reached a conclusion Monday that appears to disqualify two of the party’s appointed nominees from having their names on the November ballot. According to a member of the party’s candidate search committee, organization Chairman James Walsh was notified this week that the unsuccessful attempts in March by Democrats Vernon Carter of Bartlett and Christina Beaird of Naperville to win write-in campaigns for circuit clerk and County Board disqualifies them from being appointed to fill the ballot vacancies. Carter was picked to run for circuit clerk and Beaird was selected to run for the County Board in District 5. They tried to win the Democratic nomination for those posts by mounting write-in campaigns but failed to receive enough votes. If Carter is disqualified from being appointed to the ballot, Fitzpatrick will be the only Democrat seeking countywide office in DuPage.)

ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH
— New ‘vetting manual’ by Missouri GOP activists sparks conflict among state Republicans – Jack Suntrup (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs are involved in Republican politics to get the party to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.)
https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/new-vetting-manual-by-missouri-gop-activists-sparks-conflict-among-state-republicans/article_0006fb3a-99c6-11ee-a689-b34e2196d437.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A “vetting manual” being floated in GOP circles has sparked conflict, in part because it seeks to block certain candidates from running as Republicans. The state party has warned the document would invite litigation. Efforts to institute the vetting plan are still playing out, and only a handful of county parties have adopted the system, according to a state party official. The movement bears similarities to the ongoing struggle between hard-line and main-line Republicans in the state Legislature, a conflict that is coming into focus as the Aug. 6 GOP primary approaches.)

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
— Chicago Booth launches new Master in Finance Program. Degree will help recent college graduates jump-start their careers in the rapidly advancing field. (COMMENT: I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 when I was 43, and after I completing 14 courses, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I did that a) because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear to me that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and b) because my University of Chicago MBA-holding GAO supervisor had made it clear to her employees that she wanted/demanded her employees to have such degrees. I succeed in getting her appointed to the program’s advisory committee. But in September of 1997, she flushed all that down her toilet. She played a very big role in forcing me to take GAO’s agency-wide early retirement “offer” that was expiring at the end of that month so that she could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. And that is exactly what she did. She ignored, dismissed, and belittled a) the fact that I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $$109,732-$142,650/year, and the last 8 years of which working for her, b) the fact that I had become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Frad Examiner in 1990, c) the fact that I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) the fact that I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) the fact that 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, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/opinion/columnists/united-states-right-social-change.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Across six battleground states, Trump leads President Biden 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters. In the crucial swing states that Biden won last time, Trump is ahead in five — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — while Biden leads only in Wisconsin. Biden is losing support from young voters, Hispanic voters, Black voters — constituencies Democrats have depended on for decades to overcome the longstanding Republican advantage among whites. Women voters favor Biden by eight percentage points, 50 percent to 42 percent, but men favor Trump by a far wider 18-point spread: 55 percent to 37 percent. (I guess that’s another definition for the term “manspreading.”) On the economy, voters prefer Trump over Biden by a 22-point margin. And a whopping 71 percent think Biden is too old to be president, as opposed to just 39 percent for Trump. – Gail Collins and Bret Stephens

November 3, 2023

Democrat and RINO elected officials ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. Sooner or later, illegal immigration will harm everyone in America big time. The lower that your income is, the sooner and more that you will be harmed. Illegal immigration will not slow down, let alone stop, until voters elect Republicans, that is, elect candidates who support the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform and will require E-Verify for all employment.

— Democrats quietly move to succeed Biden – Alex Thompson (COMMENT: What do you say to those in Illinois who claim to be conservative and/or Republican, but who give Pritzker a big pass because they fear a) that he will be America’s next President and b) that he would destroy them?)
https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/democrats-quiet-campaign-succeed-biden-2024-president-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and California Rep. Ro Khanna have traveled to New Hampshire in recent months — and Khanna returned this week to debate GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. . .Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pritzker all recently launched national political groups — “Fight Like Hell PAC,” “Campaign for Democracy,” and “Think Big America,” respectively. Newsom’s group has focused on gun safety while Whitmer and Pritzker’s groups have honed in on abortion rights. . .In October, Pritzker, 58, launched Think Big America, a group that’s using his wealth to fund abortion rights ballot measures across the country. Pritzker, a billionaire businessman, personally gave $750,000 and Think Big America gave $250,000 to support Ohio’s Issue 1 amendment, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and is on the ballot in next week’s election. Think Big America also donated $1 million to Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which is behind an abortion-rights ballot measure, a Think Big spokesperson told Axios. Pritzker also landed the Democratic convention for Chicago; he and his allies are raising money for it.)

How will Democrat and RINO leaders deal with the illegal immigration Pandora’s box that they have opened? Needless-to-say, they should immediately a) stop everything that encourages illegal immigration and b) require E-Verify for all employment.

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.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-rental-assistance-migrants-temporary-housing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We are learning more about the migrant situation in Chicago. FOX 32 spoke to Cristina Pacione-Zayas, the city’s first deputy chief of staff, who provided insight into how the crisis is impacting the city and state financially. This week, 41 buses have arrived in Chicago, bringing the total number of migrants in shelters to 11,000, with 4,000 still sleeping on police station floors and staying at airports. Notably, 30% of migrants in Chicago are children, with the majority of them attending Chicago Public Schools. Currently, the state is funding temporary housing, including rented apartments and homes for migrants. The state is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a 6-month period, which includes assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” said Ald. Pacione-Zayas. FOX 32 reached out to inquire about the number of asylum seekers utilizing the rental assistance, but as of now, there has been no response from the city. The city has allocated $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, with the state contributing an additional $38 million. At present, 30 to 40 case management workers from Catholic Charities are actively working to secure temporary housing for thousands of migrants, with efforts underway to hire more.)

— Democrats say “Pritzker and his wife report income dropped by more than $16 million last year.” Has your annual income dropped? My annual income dropped by $74,606 (56%) in today’s dollars, from a $142,650 salary to a $63,144 pension, when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take the early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, and 1981. I had earned a job-related professional license in 1981. I had earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997 and 1980. Further, my annual income dropped by $21,863 (21%) in 1980 in today’s dollars because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720) to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. By 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. Much of what I had done for IRS was very similar to what I would do for GAO including interviewing, financial analysis, and report writing.

https://www.dailyherald.com/submitted/20231013/the-first-in-dupage-gunshot-detection-system-installed-at-milton-township-building-
(FROM THE REPORT: Through the collaborative efforts of DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, Milton Township was introduced to Mid Tech Security which provides the new EAGL Scout Gunshot Detection System. Our primary concern is always the safety and well-being of our residents, which is why we have become the first township within Illinois to install this system. The installation took place Tuesday, Oct. 3, and went live Thursday, Oct. 12. The newly installed gunshot detection system was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. This system analyzes acoustic characteristics, energy levels, and waveforms using advanced algorithms. As a result this system greatly reduces false alarms and allows for faster law enforcement reaction timing. This allows law enforcement to be notified and send a response within 4 seconds. We were thankful to see the respected law enforcement agencies and elected officials from DuPage County Sheriff’s office, the City of Wheaton, the Village of Glen Ellyn, and the Village of Carol Stream, and Milton Township who attended the information presentation Milton Township hosted on Oct. 12. Gunshot detection systems also can be integrated. All of the municipalities listed above will be notified in case of detection. Overall, Milton Township is here to protect our residents in an ever-changing world. seamlessly with existing access control, video surveillance systems, intercoms, and public address systems, creating an all-in-one solution.)

In its February 1978 article on me, Money Magazine hinted/implied/argued/shouted that IRS should disallow my education deductions. I had deducted tuition a) for graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) for graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1977. I should write a book about that. Further, in its article, Money Magazine hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I was grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, between 1971 and 1977, my IRS salary had increased from $52,022/year to $101,507/year, or 49%. IRS had promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, GS-11 in 1973, and GS-12 in 1974.

But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills including playing piano in restaurants in the south suburbs, delivering eggs in Park Forest, and serving customers at the A&W in Steger. Consequently, to have money to buy cars and to pay for UIC and NIU expenses, I did yard work in Crete 1962-1964, delivered newspapers in Crete 1962-1966, washed dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966, and delivered mail in Park Forest 1966-1969.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Suggested focus for weekly reports from conservative and Republican organizations – Dave Diersen
http://gopillinois.com

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.

Given that, I suggest that weekly email reports from conservative and Republican organizations focus on reporting what their leaders have done to help elect candidates in the next election who can and will defend and advance the following planks in the Republican Party platform, for example: recruited candidates for the next election, held events, published articles, published links to articles of interest to their members, spoken at government meetings, raised money and given money to candidates, operated election headquarters, conducted training, distributed literature, posted signs, etc.:

– Individual responsibility
– Traditional marriage and family
– Right to life
– Immigration
– Illegal drugs
– Second Amendment
– Equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving)

Further, I suggest those that reports focus on what they have done to discourage Democrat promotion of:

– Dependency on government and charity
– LGBTQ
– Abortion
– Mass/illegal immigration
– Booze, gambling, pot, and other vices
– Further infringement of Second Amendment rights
– Patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination

To justify that, they ignored/dismissed the fact that a) I had made GS-12 in 1974, GS-11 in 1973, and GS-9 in 1972, b) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) that I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have subjected me to the aforesaid up-or-out type age discrimination.
