FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote abortion.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “As the NRA meets in gun-friendly Indiana, new Illinois and federal laws aim to restrict weapons sales. But the next step must involve strengthening gun laws from coast to coast.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) run America and b) blame Republicans for gun violence instead of those who use guns illegally. What are the demographics of those who use guns illegally? What are the demographics of their victims?

— Democrats say “Fake active shooter threats reported at more than 20 schools across Illinois, including Whitney Young High School. The so-called “swatting” incidents targeting schools have been a growing problem since last fall when schools in 14 states reported them.” Of course, Democrats use shooter threats to promote hatred against Republicans.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS

— Democrats say “Abortion providers turn to less-effective one-pill protocol amid court rulings.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote abortion. Why are there so many unwanted pregnancies?
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/abortion-providers-still-use-abortion-pill-after-court-orders
— Democrats say “Illinois conservatives question Democrats’ convention choice.” Who are the conservative leaders in your municipality, in your township, in your county, and in Illinois? I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. In 2012, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in destroying TAPROOT. I should write a book about that.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-conservatives-question-democrats-convention-choice
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement, the Illinois General Assembly’s Freedom Caucus, which represents the Legislature’s most conservative members, questioned how the city can serve as the backdrop for a presidential candidate who has to run nationally. The seven-member group of state representatives focused on crime. “We would hope the Democrats coming to Chicago could learn a lesson about how not to govern but we are not holding our breath,” the caucus said in a statement. “The selection of Chicago, which just elected another soft-on-crime mayor, as the site for the 2024 Democratic National Convention speaks volumes about where the party is on the issue of crime.” The statement went on to praise, of all people, Bill Clinton, the last presidential candidate to be nominated at a Chicago convention, in 1996. “Democrats danced the Macarena at the convention as they celebrated the nomination of crime-fighter Bill Clinton, who made public safety the centerpiece of his 1996 campaign,” the caucus said. “When Democrats gather in Chicago in 2024, they will be facing the hard truth that Bill Clinton’s centrist policies no longer have the support of the majority of Democrats.” “New Democrat” Clinton, indeed, was more of a centrist than the current president, Joe Biden. But last time I checked, Republicans led by their conservative wing were busy trashing Clinton and his wife, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as being tarnished and unfit to lead America. Neither Mayor Lori Lightfoot nor Gov. J.B. Pritzker had any immediate response to the statement.)

I should write a book about Republican primary races and nonpartisan races on ballots in my precinct since 2000 that turned the most negative. I would focus on those races in which a) the losing candidates blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their losses and b) the winning candidates blamed me and my newsletters the most for their small victory margins.)

They forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. The forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

AMERICAN CONSERVATVE
— Think Twice Before Firing – John Hirschauer (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors did not have to think twice before they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They knew that I would sue and that I would lose. They knew that Democrats and RINOs controlled the courts. They knew that I had no “jury appeal” because my demographics were terrible: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, childless, draft-avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives would not come to my defense: They knew that with my losing in court, they could argue both a) that they discriminated against me because that was exactly what Congress wanted they to do with their employees who shared my demographics and/or b) that they never discriminated against me and that all the many adverse actions that they took against me were justified because I was an extremely “bad person.”)

Overwhelmingly, those who took the same tests that I took were White males.

Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and up-or-out and budget cuts and my opposition to political affiliation, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to take many adverse actions against me. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, never promoted me beyond GS-12, and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $21.863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

AMAC
— Exposing Biden’s Radical Government-Wide “Equity” Plans – B.C. Brutus (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use the federal government a) to take opportunities and money away from those who have demographics that vote for Republicans (heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, gun-owners, in traditional marriages, homeowners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time) and b) to give those opportunities and that money to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats (LGBTQ, liberal, minority, female, younger, poor, not in traditional marriages, renters, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time).)
https://amac.us/exposing-bidens-radical-government-wide-equity-plans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this year, President Joe Biden signed another “racial equity” executive order mandating that every federal agency create a so-called “equity action plan” to “remove barriers for underserved communities.” Despite the benign-sounding language, however, the resulting “action plans” have made clear once again that the left’s “equity” agenda is antithetical to the principle of equality and effectively amounts to state-sponsored discrimination. In short, “promoting equity” is the left’s euphemism for using government or institutional power to manufacture equal outcomes across so-called “underrepresented communities.” Rather than creating equality of opportunity and allowing individuals to achieve success on their own merit, the “equity” doctrine says that everything from jobs to government benefits must be distributed in order to ensure everyone achieves the same outcome. If the concept sounds radical, that’s because it is – so radical, in fact, that even avowed “democratic-socialist” Senator Bernie Sanders voiced tacit opposition to it during an interview with liberal talk show host Bill Maher last month. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has been obsessed with equity since day one. Just hours after taking office, President Biden issued an executive order on “advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.” The order specifically mandates, “The head of each agency, or designee,” must “within 6 months of the date of this order… deliver a report to the President describing the best practices” to advance equity. In total, 92 agencies submitted such a report last year. While it went largely unnoticed by the media, the content of those reports was truly terrifying for Americans who believe that the government should not treat people differently based on race. Take, for example, the IRS’s report, which was released in October 2021. The document makes reference to “taxation equity,” raising the alarming possibility that the IRS – which just received funding for 87,000 new agents thanks to the “Inflation Reduction Act” – may soon move to make a person’s race, gender, or sexual orientation a determining factor in tax collection and enforcement. Current law does not allow the government to use demographic data from other government agencies in enforcement actions, but there are indications that the Biden IRS may move to change that. The Department of Transportation went a step further, promising to add “racial equity and barriers to opportunity as a consideration for awarding discretionary grants.” This plainly means that a grant applicant who is a person of color will be given preference over a white applicant purely because of their race. The Government Services Administration similarly pledged to “increase overall contract dollars awarded to underserved and disadvantaged communities.” The State Department equity plan specifically says that the agency will “prioritize engagements with diplomatic partners and individuals from underrepresented and underserved communities worldwide.” In other words, the Department admits it is conducting diplomacy in accordance with the left’s equity agenda, rather than to advance the best interests of the United States – a fact that should perhaps be unsurprising given the Biden administration’s numerous foreign policy fiascos. Amid mounting concerns about wokeness in the military driving down recruitment numbers, the Defense Department’s equity plan, released last April, emphasizes a “four-year strategic initiative” to promote equity “in the areas of recruitment and retention, promotion and development, and teaching and learning.” As yet more evidence of the disastrous consequences of implementing “equity” ideology through government actions, the Biden Department of Education equity plan touts the agency’s complete gutting of Title IX. The changes not only force radical gender ideology on the American public by hijacking the education system, they also reverses hard-won victories for women and girls by destroying female-only spaces and sports. Despite the path of destruction left in its wake, however, Biden was not content with just one equity executive order, and issued a second order on February 16 of this year. Although billions of taxpayer dollars had already been directed toward overhauling the entire federal bureaucracy in service of the left’s equity agenda, an effort that Biden describes as “embedding a focus on equity into the fabric of Federal policymaking,” the president insisted that it still was not enough. “Members of underserved communities still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation,” the order says. Therefore, Biden orders agencies to create an equity action plan every year – a burdensome mandate that will lead to more wasted time and money. The new executive order also calls on every federal department to create an “agency equity team” that will “coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and ensure that their respective agencies are delivering equitable outcomes for the American people.” In effect, these teams will act as “equity police” within government agencies, enforcing Biden’s equity mandate in order to advance the left’s mission of radical social transformation. The sprawling federal bureaucracy was largely ineffective and inefficient long before Joe Biden took office. Now, government agencies aren’t just incompetent, they’re actively working to dismantle core American values like equality – leading to disastrous outcomes for the taxpayers who fund those agencies in the process.)

I remember riding with one of my high school friends in his loaded red 1965 Mustang convertible that his father had bought him. Tuesday, I trading in my red 2016 Mustang V-6 for a new loaded red 2023 Mustang GT Premium coupe. SEE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFj9lDyOAo I did that in part because the changes for the 2024 model do not motivate me.)
https://www.newsweek.com/ford-has-high-hopes-shedding-mustangs-boomer-buyer-image-1784686
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Ford Mustang is a Boomer, but its maker is hoping that the latest iteration of the pony car will draw in buyers that weren’t alive when the car debuted. But, that doesn’t mean that the Ford team forgot about its core buyer database when developing the new, seventh-generation car. “We were able to take the heritage that is unmistakably Mustang, and bring it into the 21st century technology, performance, and appearance. The goals were to still not look backwards, but to stand on that foundation and look forward to bring it in. And, to bring it in in a way that would broaden the audience of Mustang,” Jim Owens, Ford’s Mustang marketing head told Newsweek. The average age of a new Mustang buyer is older than Ford would like it to be. The company is hoping to attract buyers who remember Fox Body design fondly from their childhoods, not those that were adults when those vehicles came to market. To appeal to younger generations, Ford locked into a completely new interior design for the 2024 Mustang, infusing more technology, with customization options available and gaming technology providing high-end graphics. The cockpit-like interior design positions the car’s screens toward the driver with the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster able to blend almost seamlessly into the 13.2-inch infotainment touch screen. “If you think of the younger generations who personalize their technology… We brought that in authentically to Mustang so that owners can actually personalize their performance, their appearance, make it their Mustang through this technology,” Owens said. Owens doesn’t just work on Mustang. He is a customer, with fifth- and sixth-generation models in his family. He’s a self-proclaimed V8 guy who loves to hear the growl of an engine. “I’m gonna sit in those cars, I’m gonna start it up the minute I get in there,” he said. The new Mustang changed him. “We went into the studio and I sat there for 50 minutes, literally playing with the interior technology to make it my Mustang before I wanted to hit the start button. That is one of the key things that is taking that into that 21st century technology, if you will, in bringing out the audiences that are younger and Mustang lovers.” The addition of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa and an available B&O sound system are designed to add to the youth appeal. The interior is the major talking point, but Owens is quick to point out that the exterior experience has been reimagined to appeal younger buyers too. Animated welcome lighting greets customers and when the door is opened, Mustang digital instrument cluster splash screens come to life. Remote Rev technology allows owners to rev their car’s engine from outside the vehicle, using the key fob. Though future autonomous cars are a sexy talking point, Owens believes that the Mustang buyer still wants the visceral drive experience the Ford offers, taking them away from the business world without leaving the technological world behind. “You know, it’s a vacation you take every day, right? You get in the car, you feel different at five o’clock or six o’clock whenever you leave work. This is a way to bring it to that younger audience that we’re extremely proud of,” he said.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Kulovits, Long top the field in Wheaton Warrenville District 200.” My precinct includes the district’s headquarters, a middle school, and a grade school. While Rutledge, Kulovits, Long, Hjerpe, and Bharadwa got 141, 140, 124, 107, and 65 votes respectively, Hobbs, Erkenswick, Sohmer, and Garrett got only 54, 51, 51, and 43 votes respectively. Of the 490 voters in my precinct, 198 (40%) voted. The DuPage County overall turnout was only 19%. According to the DuPage County Election Division, 80,380 Vote-By-Mail ballots were requested countywide, but only 35,548 have been tabulated. In Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, those who voted for the anti-slate candidates ( https://negatetheslate.com/ ) voted to continue, if not to increase, teacher emphasis on promoting the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms instead of improving student performance. Why are only 53% of White students in the district reading at grade level while 63% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 24% of Hispanic students in the district reading at grade level while 41% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 16% of Black students in the district reading at grade level while 30% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 43% of Asian students in the district reading at grade level while 81% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? How are male students doing compared to female students?
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230404/kulovits-long-top-the-field-in-wheaton-warrenville-district-200-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four challengers — Spencer Garrett, Amy Erkenswick, David Sohmer and Kimberly Hobbs — campaigned together under the banner of “parental rights” for majority control of the board. When the dust cleared over Wheaton Tuesday night, at least three of the four slate candidates appeared to come up short in their bids. Incumbents Julie Kulovits and Dave Long emerged from the crowded field with 8,040 and 6,888 votes, respectively, according to unofficial totals as of 11 p.m. Erkenswick led newcomer Erik Hjerpe for third place by a margin of just 61 votes. Trailing were Sohmer with 6,139 votes and Garrett with 5,997. Anjali Bharadwa, running a solo campaign for the second straight election, had 3,172 votes. In the contest for the lone 2-year seat on the board, John Rutledge, a former city councilman, bested Hobbs 8,107 to 6,744 votes. . .Garrett, Sohmer, Erkenswick and Hobbs first showed up to District 200 school board meetings last year to raise objections to “Gender Queer,” an illustrated memoir by nonbinary author Maia Kobabe. The book, which the American Library Association named the most challenged title of 2021, is available in high school libraries. “I can’t believe the pictures that I saw from this disgusting, lewd book,” Garrett told the board in August. Propelled off the sidelines, the like-minded parents formed a local political action committee that reported raising more than $26,000, according to Reform for Illinois’ Sunshine Database. Some of the committee’s donors were evangelical church elders and Christian school board members. Awake Illinois, a Naperville group that has pushed back against mask mandates and called Gov. J.B. Pritzker “a groomer” for signing a controversial law updating sex education standards in K-12 schools, also endorsed Garrett, Erkenswick, Sohmer and Hobbs. The slate candidates believe parents ought to have a greater say over what is taught in public schools and perceive “ideological issues” in the district’s curriculum. The nearly 12,000-student district has an opt-out process for parents to excuse teens from materials they find objectionable. But the four-person slate favored another approach: an opt-in system. School board incumbents and their allies opposed limiting access to books that feature LGBTQ characters and deferred to librarians in curating materials. “The fact that every student would want to see materials that represent their experience, whether they’re gay, straight, transsexual, still deciding, I think that’s very reasonable,” Hjerpe said. Board members defended the district’s process for developing curriculum. The teachers union supported Long, Kulovits, Hjerpe and Rutledge. “Seventy-three percent of our educators have their master’s degree, and they are very well-qualified and capable of doing the job,” said Kulovits, who was appointed to a vacant board seat last summer. Critical race theory, a university-level academic discipline that examines how racism is embedded within legal and social systems, is not taught within District 200 schools. But several slate candidates still broached the topic during the campaign. They also criticized the district’s equity initiatives, particularly implicit bias training for teachers. “I don’t believe in showing partiality in any way in the classroom and the district. We should treat all people the same. With that said, regarding the word ‘equity,’ it gives, just the word itself, gives me great concern,” Garrett said. “We should not lower standards and expectations.” District 200 covers Wheaton and Warrenville, as well as portions of Carol Stream, Winfield and West Chicago.)

How many of the un-tabulated VBM ballots are from Warrenville School District 200 voters? For Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Erkenswick leads Hjerpe by just 61 votes, 6,507 to 6,446. Based on past experience, anticipate that as DCED tabulates VBM ballots, Erkenswick will gain few if any votes.

https://wirepoints.org/chicagoans-vote-to-double-down-on-the-same-policies-that-cost-lightfoot-her-job-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But what Chicagoans voted for on April 4 was someone more extreme and exactly opposite of what the city needed. To reduce Chicago’s nation-high homicide rate, Chicago needed a new mayor willing to take on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s unwillingness to prosecute dangerous criminals. A mayor willing to challenge Judge Tim Evans’ decarcerationist agenda. A mayor willing to jam shut the system’s revolving door for criminals. Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson won’t do any of that. Instead, look for him to embrace the policies of Foxx and Evans. In his own words, he’s for defunding the police and defends looting as “an outbreak of incredible frustration and anguish” tied to “a failed racist system.” Watch for police morale to fall further, for criminals to be emboldened and for crime to continue to spike in Chicago. To improve Chicago’s dismal educational outcomes – only 1 in 20 black students at CPS can do math at grade level – the city needed a new mayor to champion math and reading proficiency as well as educational excellence, merit and achievement. You won’t get that from Brandon Johnson and his Chicago Teachers Union. Johnson has already said that as a teacher he pushed to eliminate standards, stopped giving homework, and reduced test prep as a way of “rebelling against the structure.” For him, the concept of “equity,” not excellence, will dominate, and kids will lose. Watch for student outcomes to worsen as standards are removed. And as for the city’s economic climate and business friendliness, Chicago needed a new mayor who would make the city affordable again by growing the tax base, not the tax rate. Who would encourage companies to come to the city, not lambast them as a cause of social ills. Johnson will do the opposite. He’s promised to target businesses and the wealthy to pay for his social programming. We’ve already seen leaders in business and finance – like Ken Griffin and Citadel and Boeing – leave. Don’t be surprised to see a continued, steady outflow. The damage could be deep. The silver lining in all this? A few years under Johnson may finally push the center left in Chicago to finally give a reformer the support of 50 percent plus one. The question is, how bad of a hit will Chicago have taken during that time? To its safety. To its social cohesion. To its finances. To its population. To its economic base. Will it be fixable, especially with all its debts? We hope so.)

GREENSBURG DAILY NEWS
— Equal opportunity doesn’t mean equal outcome – Paul W. Barada (COMMENT: My Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy. But what if instead, they had a) stressed my demographics (White, male, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America only since 1844, my parents had less money than many of my classmates’ parents, my parents never attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school) and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who did not share my demographics (minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors had been in America longer than mine, those whose parents had more money than mine, and those whose parents had college degrees) and who did better than me, did so because they got preference? I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of high school class and my ACT score was only 24. Because my teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy, I blamed myself for my not getting better grades and for my ACT score not being higher. But what if I had blamed preference that my classmates got because they did not share my demographics? Many of those who did better than me were female, non-Missouri Synod Lutheran, non-100% German American, had ancestors who had been in America longer than mine, had parents who had more money than mine, and had parents who had college degrees.)

— There could be many violent reactions to transgenderism’s collapse – David Freddoso
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/there-could-be-many-violent-reactions-to-transgenderisms-collapse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message of transgenderism is that a man can become a woman (or vice versa) simply by force of will or perhaps by putting on certain effeminate affectations or having certain surgeries. This message — so long as it is not forced on children — is harmful but not violent per se. The violence comes as a result of the one and only persuasive argument for transgenderism, which runs roughly as follows: “If you don’t agree with me about this, then I’m going to kill myself.” If you have been courageous enough to debate this issue at all, then you have encountered this “argument.” Perhaps it is not your interlocutor personally threatening suicide, but rather making the threat on behalf of millions of youth who will supposedly (no evidence for this, but fine) kill themselves unless they are immediately affirmed in what are probably just fleeting gender confusions through irreversible surgical and hormone treatments. So what to make of this argument? I think this is all you need to know: If a friend ever says to you in real life, “If you don’t do X, then I’ll kill myself,” please call the police immediately and get that person help. Even without a professional diagnosis, such a statement is ipso facto proof of mental illness and makes clear that the person speaking is a danger to himself and probably to others as well.)

BREITBART
— Trans Anti-Christian Video Game Attacking ‘Gender-Critical Tyrants’ Released Months Before School Attack – JOSHUA KLEIN (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote LGBTQ.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/03/29/trans-anti-christian-video-game-released-months-school-attack/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A video game featuring a transgender hero who shoots down trans critics — including priests — in order to allow players to “unleash [their] pent-up fury upon the gender-critical tyrants with an arsenal of deadly weapons” was published by a trans game developer two months before Monday’s Christian school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. Titled “Terfenstein 3D,” the game’s name is a play on the pejorative term “TERF” or “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.” According to Dictionary.com, it refers to an “advocate of radical feminism who believes that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate and who is hostile to the inclusion of trans people and gender-diverse people in the feminist movement.” The game is a spinoff of the classic Wolfenstein, the longest-running first-person shooter series, where an American Army captain protagonist battles off evil Nazis. However, in the Terfenstein version, Nazis are replaced with enemies such as religious clergy and transgenderism critics who are to be hunted and killed. A trailer for the game released in advance appears to show the main character gunning down unarmed priests. The game was released in mid-January this year by trans game developer Sandra Moen and is available on the Steam video game digital distribution service. According to the developer’s description on the site, the game entails “escaping a gender-fascist concentration camp.” “Unleash your pent-up fury upon the gender-critical tyrants with an arsenal of deadly weapons and tactics in cathartic bliss,” it reads. It further states: “The game offers LGBTQAI+, transgender, and feminist themes of gender-critical people and what a post-war apocalyptic world would look like if gender fascists won. In this dystopian world, fascists have killed and imprisoned all transgender and queer people, subjecting them to harsh conversion therapy, imprisonment, and death. You play as an escapee fleeing their detention center, while you exact your revenge. This game brings to light the very real transphobic violence many transgender people face for just existing. And draw a comparison between gender critics and nazi Germany.” It also claims that the ability to “artistically express yourself is a proven way to heal trauma and possibly also move on.” Only nine days prior to the attack, Moen appeared delighted that the game was gaining positive momentum. “How fun! recent reviews have gone from ‘mixed’ to ‘mostly positive,’” Moen wrote alongside a smiley face. “Want to contribute to the trans community by supporting a trans game developer? AND KILL fascist TERF’s?” Moen wrote last month. “Try my game ‘Terfenstein 3D.’” Later, Moen called the game a “call to action,” having previously explained that “TERF’s are not the only fascists you have to endure when you’re transgender.” The transgender movement has been accused of pushing hostile and apocalyptic rhetoric leading up to the deadly shooting of a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, which left six dead, including three nine-year-old children. The shooter was later revealed to be Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender. Several notable tweets appear to show gun-toting transgender activists threatening critics. “[I]f you transphobes do try to come for me I’m taking a few of you with me,” wrote one activist. In a now-deleted tweet, another transgender individual with an AR-15 and a handgun is pictured along with the words “Kill christcucks. Behead christcucks” and “crucify filthy christcucks” as well as “slam dunk a christcuck baby into a trashcan.” In one bizarre image, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan can be seen wearing a shirt that says “protect trans kids” alongside an illustration of a knife. Last month, left-wing radicals called for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” in Washington, DC, with the goal of stopping “trans genocide” by raising money for firearms. On Wednesday, Twitter restricted accounts of prominent conservative politicians, journalists, and activists that raised awareness over the “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Hale, who identified as a man, is the fourth transgender mass shooter in almost as many years. In 2018, Snochia Moseley, a man who identified as a woman, wounded three and killed three after opening fire at his place of employment in Aberdeen, Maryland. In 2019, a Colorado woman who identified as male shot up a school, killing one and wounding eight. Last year, a Colorado man accused of shooting up a gay nightclub, killing five and wounding 18, identified as transsexual. Noting the pattern, political columnist Benny Johnson concluded: “One thing is VERY clear: the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorists.”)

ASSOCIATED PRESS & ABC NEWS & MSN
— Democrats say “Twitter removes tweets about Trans Day of Vengeance.” Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Of course, the aforesaid incites violence against those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/twitter-removes-tweets-about-trans-day-of-vengeance/ar-AA19eWR7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But trans activists were quick to point out that “trans day of vengeance” is a meme that has been around in the trans community for years and is not a call to violence — and said Twitter is misguided in its reasoning behind removing the tweets in support of the protest. Evan Greer, director of the nonprofit liberal advocacy group Fight for the Future, said Twitter’s actions are “the latest example of Big Tech companies employing double standards in content moderation.” “They are slow to moderate content targeting trans people, but quick to silence us when we speak out or push back. ’Trans Day of Vengeance’ is not a specific day or a call for violence. It’s a meme that’s been around for years, a way of expressing anger and frustration about oppression and violence the trans community faces daily,” Greer said. “Context is everything in content moderation, which is why content policies should be based in human rights and applied evenly, not changed rapidly based on public pressure or news cycles.” The poster in question is a largely text-based digital flyer. It reads “we want more than visibility” on top, followed by “trans day of vengeance” and “stop trans genocide” as well as the date and time of the planned protest.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

TOWNHALL
— ‘Equity’ Is Not Equality – It’s Revenge – Will Alexander (COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly do everything that they can to make minorities, and everyone else, hate Republicans. I should write a book about the success that they have had in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/02/27/equity-is-not-equality-its-revenge-n2619980
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.” The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen.

But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today. In my defense, I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.)

Nevertheless, since we got married in 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, and especially my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, viciously condemned me, and viciously punished me because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They paint us as being selfish rich DINKs, that is, Dual Income No Kids. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if we had children, had adopted, or had become foster parents, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They have blamed a) what I have done as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, b) the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I have sent out since 2000, c) what I did as the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, d) what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) what I did as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) what I did as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, f) what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and g) what I did as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. They have blamed me for losses suffered by Jim Ryan, Andy Mckenna Jr., Judy Barr Topinka, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford, Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam, Jeanne Ives, Babette Holder, Greg Hart, and many other Republican candidates. What do you say about the aforesaid? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE MTRO BY-LAWS: Section 2. Non-Partisan Elections. The MTRO may endorse candidates in non-partisan elections. The endorsement of a candidate by the MTRO shall require two-thirds (66%) of ballots cast for that race at a duly noticed meeting. All voting members are entitled to vote in all races, regardless of district boundaries. The option of “No Endorsement” shall always be placed on the ballot for each proposed endorsement and shall be counted in the total number of ballots cast. Voting shall be conducted by secret ballot. Candidates for endorsement shall be voted upon individually. An announcement that endorsement(s) will be voted upon must be given within the meeting notice prior to any meeting at which endorsement(s) will be proposed.

His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Inside the collapse of the Trump-DeSantis alliance of convenience. Behind an apparent close alliance, the two Republicans have racked up years of mutual suspicions fueling a 2024 grudge match.”

FLORIDA POLITICS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Republicans elect Christian Ziegler as State Chair.” Who do the following want to win the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, and c) the leaders of your Republican county/township/ward party organizations. Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

FOX BANGOR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis kicks off pro-police tour in Democrat-run cities as White House rumors swirl.”
https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/desantis-kicks-off-pro-police-tour-in-democrat-run-cities-as-white-house-rumors-swirl/article_257337d1-7d47-5f43-9b31-dbd6cd1c3077.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

WFIN
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Tim Scott’s massive war chest could give him head start in 2024 presidential campaign.”
https://wfin.com/fox-political-news/tim-scotts-massive-war-chest-could-give-him-head-start-in-2024-presidential-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

— The U.S. Navy lowers its standards yet again – Andrea Widburg (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who ran the federal government in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/immigration-reform-group-calls-on-mccarthy-to-get-border-security-bill-onto-house-floor_5035800.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Until we have a mandatory workforce verification system–like E-Verify–in place, immigrants will have an incentive to come into our country through illegal means. We want and need immigrants to come to our nation to contribute to our economic success, but we must also remain a sovereign nation governed by the rule of law.” Chmielenski said Calvert’s proposed Legal Workforce Act has “actually been endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, and National Home Builders Association. These are organizations that tend to oppose additional mandates on employers.” Right now, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 22 states impose some form of “mandatory E-Verify rather than just requiring I-9,” he said, which puts the onus on employers to “become document experts. E-Verify is a touchy subject in the states but [mandatory E-Verify] would replace a patchwork of laws from state-to-state and go a long way” to addressing the nation’s immigration issues.)

I am White, male, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, non-poor, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Factors that encouraged NIU to let me transfer included I was a federal employee (Park Forest Post Office), a union member, draft avoider, and I had not been active in Republican politics at Crete-Monee High School or at UIC.
https://northernstar.info/103019/news/sga-petition-criticizes-nius-efforts-at-inclusion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid growing concerns of what it’s calling NIU’s inactivity toward racism and lack of diversity on campus, the Student Government Association has proposed a petition to shed light on student concerns. The proposed petition was co-authored by Historian Atlas Babcock and Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Olivia Newman and was developed in collaboration with feedback from Black student organizations on campus. The petition proposed highlights three issues with the university raised by students: “A lack of diversity and representation in campus staff and administration,” “performative activism” and “lack of long-term community support.” Among examples of student complaints are over-policing at Black events, a lack of Black representation among administration and staff, failure to provide upkeep to the BLM mural and more. Much of the discussion around the proposed petition centered on the university’s handling of inclusion in the past and what the SGA wants NIU to do going forward.)

DAILY EASTERN NEWS
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs attribute all the successes that White males have to their benefitting from discrimination against minorities and against females. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger. If I had been a Democrat a minority and/or a female, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, long before I was 40 in 1988. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. Because I was not a Democrat, a minority, or a female, a) IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, Step 5, currently $104,583/year, and b) GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, did not promote me beyond GS-13 Step 1, currently $109,732/year, until I was 38, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would cite my many Democrat coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional license.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Biden faced GOP jeers.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/07/takeaways-state-of-the-union/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. A jeer-filled affair It’s been 14 years since a Republican member of Congress appeared to cross a threshold by yelling “You lie” at Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress. Tuesday’s speech marked the continued trend toward partisan raucousness during what was once a much more staid affair. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), perhaps predictably, repeated Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) outburst from 2009 when Biden brought up Medicare and Social Security. (It’s worth noting that Biden qualified his comments about Republican support for Scott’s plan by emphasizing: “I’m not saying it’s a majority,” but he was jeered anyway. McCarthy shook his head while seated behind Biden.) Biden responded to all this by suggesting it was an important moment, with Republicans so loudly taking issue with the idea that they would target entitlements: “I’m glad to see — you know, I enjoy conversion. When Biden brought up fentanyl deaths, he was met with a response of: “It’s your fault!” Republicans also took exception to his comments about other issues, including gun control and the border. The latter instance elicited a notable response from McCarthy: While he sat stone-faced for much of the speech, the GOP outcry drew a demonstrative blink from the House speaker, who shushed his conference. McCarthy earlier Tuesday had promised no “childish” games, specifically citing then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) having ripped up a copy of Trump’s speech after the 2020 State of the Union address. And as the speech wore on, we got a sense for why, perhaps, it got so contentious. In contrast to McCarthy’s shushing, Trump on Truth Social attacked “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — party members for “jumping up and down with applause for the wrong reasons!”)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Local Republican Leaders Select Lemont Mayor John Egofske, an Independent Who Endorsed Democrats, to Fill Jim Durkin’s Vacant House Seat (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. How will Egofske respond to ever-increasing pressure from hate-filled conservative-hating leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) a) to officially abolish the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, b) to officially banish conservatives from the IRP, and c) to officially dissolve the IRP?)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/02/breaking-local-republican-leaders-select-lemont-mayor-john-egofske-an-independent-who-endorsed-democrats-to-fill-jim-durkins-vacant-house-seat.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2020, Egofske endorsed Democratic US Rep. Daniel Lipinski and on October 22, 2022, just weeks before the midterm election, Egofske endorsed Illinois Democratic State Rep. Larry Walsh, Jr., a member of Democratic House Speaker Chris Welch’s leadership team – where he serves as Downstate Caucus Whip, saying, “Regardless of partisan politics, it’s all about getting things done, and I have seen firsthand that Larry Walsh Jr gets things done.” Sources confirm to Illinois Review that Durkin wrote a letter of support to the committee, expressing his support for Egofske to replace him in the Illinois House of Representatives. In announcing the formation of the committee tasked with finding Durkin’s replacement, DuPage Republican Chairman Jim Zay said, “Leader Durkin has been a tremendous advocate for our region and state, and we thank him for his extraordinary service. Our committee looks forward to a transparent and thorough process to fill this important position.” In addition to Zay, the committee includes Tim Ozinga (Will Co.), Michael Shackel (Lemont Twp.), Terrance Carr (Lyons Twp.), Cindy Nelson Katsenes (Orland Twp.) and Sean Morrison (Palos Twp.). The vote is weighted, with Zay’s vote having the most influence on the committee (44%). Carr, 24%; Shackel, 22%; Ozinga, 4%; Katsenes, 3%; and Morrison, 2%. During the Republican primary, Durkin, Morrison, Ozinga and Zay endorsed Richard Irvin’s campaign for governor. But in previous elections, Irvin not only pulled Democratic Primary ballots in 2014, 2016 and 2020, but he also spent years praising Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker – referring to him as a “great friend and a great leader.” And in 2020, Irvin attended a Black Lives Matter rally, yelling, “I can’t breathe!” During the midterm election, Durkin suffered embarrassing losses, giving House Democrats once again, supermajority control in the Illinois House. In media interviews after announcing his resignation as House GOP leader the day after the midterms, Durkin attempted to place all of the blame on the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump. “As long as we continue to say that we are the party of Trump and that we have to abide by the party principles in the platform, 100% we’re gonna continue down this path of losing.” When Durkin announced that he was resigning from his seat in the legislature in January, he once again blamed Trump for Illinois’ losses, saying, “I hope that at some point in the near future, and I think we’re getting there, that the party breaks its fever of Donald Trump and understands and learns from the past. Some people will never get there.” Durkin then suggested that pro-life and 2nd Amendment issues were “dragging” the Republican party down. “So I would just say the sooner that the public realizes that he’s not value added to the Republican Party, we can start looking at what this party used to be about. A party that didn’t insist upon this purity test. A party that is a fiscally conservative first of all, certainly, but we can have a fair and respectful debate within the party on issues related to the Second Amendment, to life and these other social issues, that have been dragging us down in areas that we have to compete in — mainly the suburbs and the collar counties.” In the last few months, Illinois Review has published several articles about Durkin using his political influence to target conservative grassroots candidates during the Illinois Primary. Sources also confirmed to Illinois Review that the IL GOP is blaming Durkin for the party’s postage discount abuse, where mailers “Paid for by the Republican Party of Illinois” were sent during the primary to viciously attack conservative Republican grassroots candidates that were challenging Durkin’s friends and political allies. And in January, before he resigned from the legislature, Durkin was the only Republican to join the Democrats, voting in favor of the assault weapons ban. Attorney and former Illinois Attorney General candidate Thomas DeVore has filed multiple lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the assault weapons ban on the equal protection clause, and so far, Judges in Effingham and White Counties, and the 5th District Appellate Court view the equal protection clause as the most credible argument in the case – and a literal “silver bullet” for DeVore and his plaintiffs. In another blow to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s assault weapons ban, and following the directive of the Appellate Court, White County Judge T. Scott Webb on Thursday granted DeVore’s motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO), halting the ban while the lawsuit proceeds. The lawsuit raises the same claims as the one filed in Effingham County, where Judge Joshua Morrison granted the first TRO and names Gov. JB Pritzker, State Senate President Don Harmon, D, Illinois House Speaker Christopher Welch, D, and Attorney General Kwame Raoul, D, as defendants. The lawsuit filed in White County by DeVore includes over 1,600 plaintiffs, including former Illinois State Senator and Republican nominee for governor Darren Bailey; 68 federal firearms dealers and covers 92 counties. On Tuesday, 5th District Appellate Court affirmed Effingham County’s TRO and goes beyond the original 866 plaintiffs in the original lawsuit, and is now binding precedent on all lower courts statewide.)

— COMMENT: To use pot is to impair yourself. Ever-increasingly, Democrats encourage everyone to use more and more and more pot. How much pot do those who you have to rely on use? Under the Democrats, expect that they will be ever-increasingly impaired. Ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes if I had been a pot user, would I have been able a) to take college preparatory courses and to graduate in the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class in 1966, b) to get an ACT score of 24 in 1966, c) to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, d) to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, f) to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, g) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) to become a licensed CPA in 1981, and i) to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. If I had been a pot user, a) S.S. Kresge would not have hired me in 1964, b) the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, c) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, d) Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, e) IRS would not have hired me in 1971, and f) GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had been a pot user, I would not have been able to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. If I had been a pot user, I would not have been able to buy real estate in 1972, 1974, or 1976. If I had been a pot user, I would not have been able to get married in 1978.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Stolen Guns Are Fueling Violent Crime in the US.” I have had a FOID card since I was 20 years old in 1968. Of course, Illinois criminals know who the FOID card holders are in Illinois. That might encourage some criminals to avoid FOID card holders. That might encourage other criminals to invade the homes of FOID card holders to steal their firearms and ammunition. Of course, if/when semiautomatic firearms are registered in Illinois, Illinois criminals will know who has them.

— COMMENT: Democrats want to abolish the Second Amendment. As Democrats ever-increasingly destroy America, poverty and crime will ever-increasingly increase. Therefore, ever-increasingly, 911 response times will increase and Americans will need to buy more and more and more firearms for their self-defense.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/05/guns-bruen-supreme-court-second-amendment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Second Amendment protects individuals’ right to gun ownership, it emphasized the ability “of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.” When it expanded that decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the court noted that “ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense.”

FAST COMPANY
— What to do if you didn’t get promoted – Mita Mallick (COMMENT: IRS promoted me to GS-12 Step 1 (currently $92,279/year) when I was 25 in 1974, but no promotions after that. To transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, GAO forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720/year), a $21,863/year (21%) in today’s dollars. GAO did not promote me back to GS-12 Step 5 until 1982. GAO promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986, but no promotions after that. QUESTION: What could I have done, but I refused to do, to get a) promoted by IRS to GS-13, GS-14 (currently $129,671/year), GS-15 (currently $152,527/year), and Senior Executive Service (SES) (currently $183,500/year) by age 40 and b) promoted by GAO to GS-14, GS-15, and SES by age 40? ANSWER: I refused to become a Democrat. I refused to help my IRS and GAO superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 my age 25, to GS-14 by age 30, to GS-15 by age 35, and to SES by age 40. If I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female, IRS and/or GAO would have promoted me to SES long before I was 40 because I had earned an MBA when I was 27, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.)

WIKIPEDIA
— News aggregator (COMMENT: I am a conservative nonprofit Republican news aggregator. I should write a book about those a) who do not want me to drive traffic to their websites, b) who do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and/or c) who do everything that that can to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. 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 taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who paywall me. Obviously, those who reject the following planks in the Republican Party platform do not want me to include links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to articles that promote the following planks: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Everyone in Illinois sees how the Illinois Republican Party, Illinois Senate GOP, and Illinois House GOP treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in DuPage County sees how the DuPage County Republican Central Committee treats me and treats my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in Milton Township sees how the Milton Township Republican Organization treats me and treats my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
