— Walmart, Amazon and CPS top list of employers where Illinois workers still need SNAP benefits. State data obtained by the Sun-Times identifies where SNAP recipients say they work as expanded employment requirements could push as 400,000 off the food assistance program this spring. DD: In today’s dollars, my part-time Post Office salary increased from $19.57/hour to $20.87/hour when I was 18-20 years old 1966-1969. According to my critics/opponents, I was grossly overpaid. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the job I had should have been given to a needy Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They stressed that my parents provided me with room and board and that I had no dependents. They were furious that the money that I earned enabled me to pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, to pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At $18.42 an hour, she’s among the school district’s lowest paid staffers. . .Among the people in Chicago living in SNAP households who are 22 or older, she is among the 47% who are employed but still need government support to help buy groceries, according to 2024 U.S. Census data analyzed by WBEZ. . .Profile of a SNAP worker People who are employed but also need to rely on SNAP, like Brooks and Mendez, often fit a certain work profile. Their incomes are relatively low, making them eligible for the help — the monthly household income for a family of four has to be under about $4,400 or roughly $53,000 a year — and they are clustered in certain occupations. The fields with the greatest percentages of Chicago workers living in households receiving SNAP include nursing and home health aides, childcare workers and personal care aides, and a category that covers janitors, housekeepers and groundskeepers, according to 2024 American Community Survey Census data analyzed by WBEZ. SNAP recipients, along with people on Medicaid public health insurance, also receive fewer pay increases and face more volatility than other workers, according to a 2018 analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington D.C-based research and policy organization. Republicans said they pushed for the expanded rules that went into effect this month to get more SNAP recipients to work and to reduce what they called abuse of the program. A person who doesn’t meet the requirements can get benefits for only three months in a three-year period.)
DAILY HERALD
— West Chicago teacher in pro-ICE comment controversy resigns. DD: Will anyone come to the teacher’s defense? Will anyone argue that his punishment was too severe? The message of all this is that Democrats can and will destroy you if you a) oppose their flooding America with their illegals and/or b) oppose their fighting their deportation.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20260206/education/west-chicago-teacher-in-pro-ice-comment-controversy-resigns/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A West Chicago District 33 teacher whose pro-immigration agent comment on social media was criticized by many people has resigned. On Thursday, the school board accepted the resignation and a separation agreement of the Gary Elementary School teacher. “This situation was never about politics. It has been about our responsibility to keep schools operating normally and to minimize disruption to learning,” board President Rita Balgeman said after the vote. The board did not discuss the terms of the settlement. As part of the separation agreement, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, the teacher will be paid his salary and health benefits through the end of the school year. It also states that the district will give a neutral reference about him to future employers. According to West Chicago Mayor Dan Bovey, the teacher commented, “go ICE!” in a social media post. Bovey, whose wife works at the school, said he spoke with the man when the controversy erupted. After the district learned of the comment Jan. 22, the teacher initially resigned that day but retracted it later that day. The district put him on leave while it investigated the matter. More than 81% of the district’s students are of Hispanic descent, according to its 2025 state school report card. Bovey said West Chicago schoolchildren have been traumatized because their parents were taken by immigration enforcement agents, and that the comment was hurtful and offensive. After the board voted, members of the public spoke about the matter. “We want our students to feel respected and valued, which is why we request that the seriousness of the comment be recognized,” one mother of a student said, speaking in Spanish. But another woman, Corinne Ingrum, urged the community to “pick your battles more wisely,” saying the action against the teacher will not resolve the community’s concerns with immigration agents’ actions. “You could have chosen to rally around one of your own beloved teachers, but instead you chose to bring more unwanted ICE attention to West Chicago,” Ingrum said. She suggested that people bring their concerns to elected officials. Timothy Lorman asked the school board whether it is a prerequisite of employment “to agree with the majority or the popular opinion of the day.” Another man urged the board to look at anti-ICE statements made by teachers and consider whether they were inappropriate.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20260206/news/dupage-group-to-build-altars-hold-vigil-saturday-for-those-killed-by-immigration-enforcement-office/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Casa DuPage Workers Center, together with community members, will honor three people killed by federal immigration officers by constructing Day of the Dead altars Saturday in Wheaton. Members of the group said in a news release that they’ll build altars to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed in January in Minneapolis, as well as Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, who was fatally shot in September by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Franklin Park. The altars will be built from 1 to 4 p.m. at Casa DuPage, 311 S. Naperville Road in Wheaton, and then taken on the back of a pickup truck to the site in Franklin Park where Villegas-Gonzalez was killed near 25th and Grand avenues. A candlelight vigil will be held at the site. “We need to keep track of our humanity in this moment, as we feel to the marrow of our bones the pain that ICE has unleashed on us all by constantly remembering these martyrs,” Cristobal Cavazos, executive director of Casa DuPage Workers Center, said in a statement. “We will continue to struggle for justice, honoring their lives (and) legacy.” Casa DuPage Workers Center is a program of Immigrant Solidarity DuPage, a grassroots, community-funded, activist group whose goal is to build solidarity locally with the immigrant community.)

Dabrowski is making electability his central argument, pointing to Darren Bailey’s decisive 2022 loss to Pritzker as evidence Republicans need a new standard-bearer. His policy platform includes capping property taxes at 1% of home value, cutting the state income tax rate, auditing state spending and repealing the SAFE-T Act.
He also said he’d like to see the income tax rate decreased from 4.95% to 3%.)

DAILY HERALD
— Taxes, sanctuary status and electability key issues in GOP gubernatorial joust. DD: If I was still the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and if I was still on the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, the organizations would still be hosting candidate debates.
https://www.dailyherald.com/20251111/illinois-state-politics/taxes-sanctuary-status-and-electability-key-issues-in-gop-gubernatorial-joust/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Buoyed by a raucous Kane County crowd, Republican candidates in the Illinois gubernatorial primary race debated taxes, crime and electability Monday. The governor hopefuls at the Kane County Republican Organization forum in West Dundee comprised Ted Dabrowski and James Mendrick. Also speaking was lieutenant governor candidate Aaron Del Mar, representing his running mate Darren Bailey. Asked what the single most important change they’d make if elected, Mendrick honed in on a campaign theme. “The sanctuary state — that is my No. 1 change,” said Mendrick, who is DuPage County sheriff. “For years, (President) Biden’s open borders policy let people in relentlessly. We have a secondary population being laid on a primary population; there is no way we can afford this.” Del Mar, the Cook County Republican Party Chair, advocated for lowering property taxes and ending cronyism in state government. “We need to get all the patronage jobs out of here,” the Palatine resident said. Dabrowski, a Wilmette resident and former president of media/research company Wirepoints, said the GOP needs more “principled leadership” and criticized Republican lawmakers who voted for tax and gas hikes. “We will never be able to have a proper Republican brand if we’re not consistent,” he said. Talking points. Dabrowski told the suburban audience the biggest thing they have to think about is who can beat Pritzker in 2026. “I supported Darren Bailey last time strongly. But we know in the end, they fell short, largely up here,” he said. Bailey unsuccessfully ran against Pritzker in 2022. Del Mar ran as lieutenant governor on a ticket with Gary Rabine. “Experience matters,” Del Mar said, referring to Bailey’s time as a state lawmaker and local elected official. “Darren has prayed and he’s thought about all the things he did wonderfully (in 2022). But then he went and studied all the things he did wrong.” Meanwhile, Mendrick emphasized “we need to go back to the definition of a minor, which means under 18 years of age and make it illegal to discuss sex with kids. And that means (no) porn in libraries and schools.” “We need to come back to American principles. We need to bring back God and the nuclear family.” Reducing crime. Asked about crime and safety, Del Mar criticized the Illinois TRUST Act, which prohibits law enforcement agencies from assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, with some exceptions. “Every time we have a felon that we find out is illegal, after they get arrested and they do their time and they get released, we can’t notify federal law enforcement to take them away,” Del Mar said. Mendrick suggested “let’s start with respecting and treating our law enforcement like the heroes they are.” He also noted his longtime opposition to the state’s SAFE-T Act, which ended cash bail. “How about all felonies stay in jail?” Mendrick said. “How about multiple repeat offenders for misdemeanors stay in jail — you don’t need to worry about money now, that solves it really easily.” Dabrowski called Illinois’ sanctuary state stance “extreme.” “In Florida, if they find a bad guy, an illegal immigrant bad guy, do you know what they do? The local authorities take the guy, put him in handcuffs, and hand him right over to the federal authorities. Problem solved. No chaos. Just done,” he said. Economic concerns Candidates also dug into Illinois’ economy and pension debt. “Property taxes are the biggest complaint everywhere I go,” Dabrowski said. He touted his abilities to make DOGE-like cuts, and singled out the high salaries for school superintendents. “We need to move to 401(k)s for all new government workers,” he added. Mendrick supported giving municipalities a greater share of the state’s Local Government Distributive Fund and advocated for a mobile 401(k) pension system. “If you quit or go somewhere else, you can take your pension with you,” he said. “That may be attractive enough to replace the existing pension system.” Del Mar countered that many firefighters, police officers and downstate teachers are Republicans. “Telling them you’re going to take their pensions away is not a good way of getting them to vote for you,” he said. “We need to look at ways to grow Illinois. We want to expand and grow the economy and lessen the burden of debt and taxes,” Del Mar added. The other Republicans in the race are Broadview resident Gregg Moore; video gambling business owner Rick Heidner of Barrington Hills; Joseph Severino of Lake Forest; and Max Solomon of Hazel Crest.)

— The myth of meritocracy – Yvonne Abraham (COMMENT: What are your successes in life? What do your critics/opponents attribute your successes in life to? My critics/opponents attribute my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, parents, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school and never worked outside of the home until after my father died. Because of the aforesaid, I took college preparatory courses in high school. I got and ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class. I worked my way through college. I earned a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees. I earned six professional certifications. I earned a professional license. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents are/were rich. Who bought them cars. Who paid for their college expenses. Who got them good jobs.)

— A quarter of United Methodist churches in U.S. have left during split (COMMENT: In 1961, when I was 13 years old and in 8th grade at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete ( https://www.trinitycrete.org/ and https://ilhs.org/ ), the church’s split had a tremendous impact on me. The pastor succeeded in dumping the Missouri Synod for the Wisconsin Synod. My father was one of the Church Elders who led an unsuccessful fight to stay with the Missouri Synod. To stay with the Missouri Synod, my parents transferred to Hope Lutheran in Park Forest. Since 1847, all my ancestors had always been Missouri Synod Lutheran. On my father’s side, they all had all graduated from Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. But in 1962, I graduated from a newly formed extremely small 8th grade at Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest. The church split created many divisions between those who stayed with the Missouri Synod and those who joined the Wisconsin Synod. The split ended big annual family reunions in Crete and Grant Park that had been organized by both my father’s and mother’s parents.)

— Why more women live in major East Coast counties while men outnumber them in the West – AP (COMMENT: What makes a man “quality?” How much of it is health, handsomeness, height, personality, values, religion, national origin, education, occupation, income, net worth, possessions, professional certifications and licenses, etc.? I got married when I was 29. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30, earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. However, I had earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27 and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21. I had bought condos when I was 27 and 25 and a new town home when I was 24. I had owned a 1972 Corvette since I was 23. I had gotten promoted to GS-12 ($92,279/year in today’s dollars) when I was 25. My wife had worked for the FBI. She had helped elect Big Jim Thompson. She is Catholic and I am Missouri Synod Lutheran. We met a Presbyterian singles event.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s really tough to find quality men who share similar values,” Averbach said. There aren’t many singles groups that cater to her age group, she says, and when such groups put on events, they usually attract more women than men. Her county has a low sex ratio, which means there are more women than men. A high ratio indicates there are more men than women.)

— ‘Misinformation’ service NewsGuard targeted in defense bill – Bill Gertz (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters are full of misinformation. My critics/opponents 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 should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/13/inside-ring-misinformation-service-newsguard-targe/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 2024 defense authorization bill now in its final stages on Capitol Hill contains a provision that would restrict the Pentagon from spending money on an advertising agency that relies on the self-described “counter-misinformation” group NewsGuard, a blow to the left-leaning organization that critics say unfairly targets conservative media. The restriction in the proposed annual National Defense Authorization Act recently survived a House-Senate conference. The final bill is being taken up by both chambers this week. The provision calls on the defense secretary to ensure all ad agencies that contract with the Defense Department do not “place advertisements in news sources based on personal or institutional political preferences or biases, or determinations of misinformation.” The section also requires that the defense secretary and military service secretaries notify Congress whenever an ad agency employs NewsGuard, a similar British-based group called the Global Disinformation Index, or similar services. The provision is a response by several House Republicans who have said that self-appointed anti-misinformation watchdog groups are effectively being used to target conservative media outlets.)

— Israeli military veteran tapped as GOP candidate in special election to replace George Santos – Anthony Izaguirre (COMMENT: From what I see, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization ever-increasingly want candidates who do not share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2023/12/14/israeli-military-veteran-tapped-as-gop-candidate-in-special-election-to-replace-george-santos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans have picked a little-known county lawmaker who once served in the Israeli military as their candidate in a special election to replace ousted New York congressman George Santos, party officials said Thursday. Nassau County legislator and former Israeli paratrooper Mazi Pilip will face off against Democratic former congressman Tom Suozzi in a Feb. 13 special election for the seat, which includes northern parts of Queens and Long Island. The selection pits Pilip, a relatively unknown local lawmaker originally from Ethiopia, against a political veteran in Suozzi, who previously represented the district for six years during a lengthy career in Long Island politics.)

— Ever-increasingly, younger employees want older employees to retire. In 1993 when I was a 45-year-old GAO employee, because I had 25 years of federal seniority, I became eligible to take GAO’s early retirement “offer.” In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors with the blessing of my Democrat GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates succeeded in forcing me to take their “offer” which expired that year. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/careers/2023/12/14/older-workers-jobs-pew-research-study/71898652007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a major demographic shift, the older workforce – some 11 million Americans – has quadrupled in size since the mid-1980s, driven by the graying of the U.S. population. The share of older Americans holding a job is also much greater. Roughly 1 in 5 Americans ages 65 and older (19%) are employed today – nearly double the share of those who were working 35 years ago, according to new data from the Pew Research Center.)

My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I needed a job to help support my mother and brother because my father had died suddenly in 1969 and my application for a financial hardship draft deferment was pending. Further, I got a) almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority that I had earned working for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while I was a student at UIC and NIU 1966-1969 and b) all the sick leave reinstated that I had earned but not used.)

In fact, it was because I worked all the hours that I could part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and because my parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.)

https://www.creators.com/read/star-parker/12/23/our-ticking-ethnic-time-bomb

An ongoing shift of the population toward non-white demographics means that, assuming no change in voting behavior of these various groups, electing Republicans will become harder and harder.

In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

— More U.S. companies no longer requiring job seekers to have a college degree – MEGAN CERULLO (COMMENT: To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats, the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997 ever-increasingly lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU management 1970), b) my three job-related master’s degrees (Loyola business 1976, DePaul accounting 1980, and IIT finance 1997), c) my six job-related professional certifications (accounting 1979, internal auditing 1981, fraud examination 1990, government financial management 1994, financial services auditing 1996, and forensic accounting 1997), and d) my job-related professional license (accounting 1981). All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, c) who had no job-related professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they used Republican-led budget cuts to force the agency to get rid of more than half of its employees. Those Democrats could have, but did not, make having a job-related master’s degree, professional certification, and/or professional license a retention requirement.

FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION
— Employer of Last Resort – Hans F. Sennholz (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. According to Democrats and to RINOs, the federal government should be the employer of last resort and is the employer of last resort. According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who Republicans discriminate against, that is, to Democrats, RINOs, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who the private sector does not want because they are not the “best and the brightest.” According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who have financial, health, and/or other problems. According to my critics/opponents, instead of me, all the federal jobs that I got and all the promotions that I got should have been given a) to Democrats, RINOs, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, b) to those who the private sector did not want, and c) to those who had financial, health, and/or other problems. Further, according to my critics/opponents, because I got those jobs and promotions even though I was not a Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, my ancestors have been in America for a long time and I do not have financial, health, or other problems, it was because I was someone who the private sector did not want because I was not one of the “best and the brightest.” In my defense, the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. By the time the Post Office hired me in 1966, I had passed the postal employment test, earned an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and had started taking classes at UIC. By the time IRS hired me in 1971, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination, earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, and worked for Firestone Stores for a year. By the time GAO hired me in 1980, I had gotten promoted by IRS three times, earned an MBA from Loyola, and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Resolved: That the federal government should provide employment for all employable United States citizens living in poverty. On the affirmative side students are expected to argue that the federal government shall strive to abolish poverty and, if necessary, act as employer of last resort. . .High school students at last are catching up with the political debate that has animated their elders since the first New Deal.

Roosevelt proposed to make the federal government the employer of last resort, proclaiming that “one third” of the American people were “underfed, under-clothed, and underhoused.” Thirty years later, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared his “war on poverty,” which was to liberate some twenty percent of the population. President Jimmy Carter, during his term of office, waged his special war on poverty. All three made the poverty of some 40 million Americans the central issue of their public policies. Indeed, all presidents have echoed a deep concern for the poor. And yet, the poor are still with us. Their faces have changed, but their numbers hardly ever vary. Armed with poverty statistics, their spokesmen suggest that past government efforts were half-hearted and indecisive. The war, they argue, must be carried on with unrelenting vigor and dedication until victory is won. They would make government the employer of last resort.)

— Minimum wage to increase for Illinois workers in January Workers in Illinois aged 18 and older who currently earn the minimum wage can expect a pay increase starting in January. The state will raise the minimum wage from $13 to $14 per hour. (COMMENT: I worked for the minimum wage 1964-1966. It was $1.25/hour, and adjusted for inflation, it was $12.21/hour. I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 4 evenings a week and Saturdays while I was a Junior and Senior at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 (a poor man’s GTO), to use to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

Far too few of the following write, publish, and/or bring to voters’ attention news and commentary that defend and advance the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists. Worse yet, far too many of the aforesaid do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out the newsletters and b) to stop voters from reading the newsletters.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats say “UAW justifies wage demands by pointing to CEO pay raises” and ask “So how high were they?” Ever since I became a union member and a federal employee in 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents have viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. While I was a union member working for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)
https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/business/ap-uaw-justifies-wage-demands-by-pointing-to-ceo-pay-raises-so-how-high-were-they/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, talks with President Joe Biden as he sits in a Corvette during a tour of the Detroit Auto Show on Sept. 14, 2022. . .At GM, the median worker pay was $80,034 in 2022. It would take that worker 362 years to make Barra’s annual compensation. At Ford, where the median pay was $74, 691, it would take 281 years. At Stellantis, with a median pay of 64,328 euros, it would take 365 years. . .It’s far above the typical pay gap at S&P 500 companies, which was 186-1 according to AP’s annual CEO pay survey, which uses data analyzed by Equilar. And it’s astronomical by historical standards. According to a study of the 350 largest publicly traded U.S. firms by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, the CEO-to-Worker pay ratio was just 15-1 in 1965.)

DAILY ILLINI
— Democrats crow about record high University of Illinois “underrepresented minority” acceptance rate. Democrats run UIC. UIC accepted me In 1966 when I was a 17-year-old Republican Crete-Monee High School student living with his parents in Crete. If I was that student today, because of my terrible demographics, I doubt that UIC would accept me. I share far too many demographics with Trump. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. To reject me, UIC could use that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class, that my ACT score was only 24, and that I had not demonstrated any leadership potential. I had spent far too many hours washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years and full-time during the summer in between. Further, I could not run because I had a hereditary bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness.

In his defense, he never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Platform Drafting Committee of the California Republican Party (CRP) has produced a new draft platform which represents a sea change in the official positions of the CRP. It is a stripped down, dumbed down document barely four pages in length and so vague as to be meaningless at best. It allows anyone and everyone, no matter how radical their positions, to claim compliance since there is virtually nothing of substance to comply with. – Neil Fox (COMMENT: I served on the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee. My requests to serve on the 2012, 2016, and 2020 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committees were denied. I ask to be appointed to the 2024 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee.

TOWNHALL
— Good Riddance to the Bush Regime – Jeff Crouere
https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2023/09/18/column-n2628544
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reagan was a principled conservative, an excellent communicator, and a generation leader. His two terms were highly successful, and he left office with high approval ratings and eight years of impressive accomplishments. He was so popular that his bland and uninspiring Vice President was elected in 1988 as a third Reagan term. Yet, Bush was nothing like Ronald Reagan. He believed in a “new world order,” military adventurism, and raising taxes. Bush was also an elitist who cared little for average Americans. . .Like his father, Bush was a “moderate” Republican who masqueraded as a “compassionate conservative.” He also believed in military adventurism and started two wars, ballooned the government by creating the Department of Homeland Security, and stripped away the rights of Americans with the “Patriot Act.” He wanted to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens but was stopped by an outpouring of opposition from conservative groups. In the 2006 midterm election, his unpopular presidency ushered into power the Democrats in both chambers of Congress. He ended his second term by turning over the White House to Barack Obama, a radical who pretended to believe in “hope and change.”)

— Democrats say “Evangelicals losing their grip on the Republican Party as 2024 election looms.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. Conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, the base of Republican Party, have never had a grip on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). At least since 1970s, the majority of IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have rejected many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Political parties divided against themselves cannot stand. I should write a book about that.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Student-Loan Restart Threatens to Pull $100 Billion Out of Consumers’ Pockets. Households are cutting back, worrying largest U.S. retailers.” I never tried to get a student loan. To get more votes from student loan borrowers, Democrat politicians want to cancel their loans. Ever since I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have had tremendous unfair advantages in life because I graduated debt-free. They stress that I could not have graduated debt-free if I had not gotten student deferments to avoid the Vietnam draft. My graduating debt-free and my working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time 1970-1971 and then part-time 1971-1972 and my working for IRS 1971-1980 enabled me a) to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) to pay for graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976, c) to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) to buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, e) to pay for graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, f) to buy a one bed room condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, g) to buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, and h) to buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevrolet Chevette in 1978. In my defense, I stress that I worked my way through college. I worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while classes were in session 1966-1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.

— 5 Books to Read if You’re Thinking of Changing Careers – Simon Constable (COMMENT: Have you changed careers? In 1980, when I was 31 years old, to falsely justify forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, the Democrats who ran the agencies falsely painted my transfer as being a career change. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Much of what I had done for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO.)

My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted that offer. I desperately needed a job. I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died in late 1969. Therefore, I accepted an offer from IRS to be a GS-7, currently $52,022/year, Revenue Officer.)

— Trillion-Dollar Industry Powering Chicago Is at Risk of Leaving – Isis Almeida (COMMENT: GAO audits federal financial industry regulators. In late 1997, when I was 49 years old, when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I knew as much about derivatives as any GAO employee. I had worked on audits of regulation of derivative since 1990. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in early 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The letters are stamped all over the hallways of Chicago’s giant skyscrapers and grand office buildings. DRW, IMC, CME, Cboe. These are some of the derivatives firms that collectively handle trillions of dollars a year in trades, greasing the wheels of global markets with everything from stock options to corn futures. Most of them have called Chicago home for decades — providing thousands of jobs within the city’s $75 billion finance industry.)

— Democrats say “UAW strike bypasses Illinois plants for now, but state’s auto industry has a lot riding on negotiations.” I have owned only American nameplate cars since I bought my first one in 1964. I currently own eight. I was a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. In early 1970, I was a UAW member while I worked part-time for Chrysler in its Belvidere plant and was a full-time NIU student. My critics/opponents have always disapprove of/hated unions and American nameplate cars. Since 1966, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always been overpaid because I was a union member. In today’s dollars, while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

— Democrats say “Parents worry as day care centers face funding crisis.” My father made enough money that my mother, who never attended high school, could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and my parents as having been undeservedly filthy rich. In my father’s defense, he never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. In my defense, because of that, to buy cars and to pay for college expenses, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Trump supporters dismiss electability challenges, see him as best hope against Biden – Seth McLaughlin (COMMENT: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters hint/imply/argue/shout that the more demographics that a candidate shares with Trump, the less electable that candidate is. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. Anticipate/expect that the fewer demographics that candidates share with Trump, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters support those candidates.)

— The Racial Achievement Gap and the War on Meritocracy. Lower standards for blacks means more mediocre teachers and doctors in black communities. – Jason L. Riley (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors replaced me with my Black subordinate. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office. While he was a CPA, he had far less job-related work experience that I had. He had far less job-related education than I had. He had far fewer job-related professional certifications than I had. He had no professional licenses. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step-1-10 levels, currently $109,732-$142.650/year. 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. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, and a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.)
