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.)

— During the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office, they had my Black subordinate lead the office’s big annual Black History Month events. In September of 1997, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.

— 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.)

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.)

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.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— 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.)

https://www.creators.com/read/star-parker/12/23/our-ticking-ethnic-time-bomb
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican vote is disproportionately white. The Democratic vote is disproportionately not white. 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.

To demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an antisemite, they stressed to my many Jewish superiors and supervisors that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. 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.

The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 used those budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)

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.)
https://fee.org/articles/employer-of-last-resort/
(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. In 1935, President Franklin D. 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.)

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.)

They wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my subordinate who was liberal, Democrat, Black, and younger.)

Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Claremont, New Hampshire on Saturday just days after he skipped the third 2024 GOP presidential primary debate. He poked fun at Joe Biden and said: ‘We have a guy in the White House who can’t put two sentences together and who could not find his way off this stage.’ Trump’s comments came hours after Biden, 80, suffered an embarrassing moment of confusion as he stumbled at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – KAMAL SULTAN

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.

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.

STATESMAN
— Democrats say that “Ramaswamy vows to replace H1B visa system with meritocratic admission.” Democrats would stop Ramaswamy because the more merit that immigrants have, the less likely that they will vote for Democrats. RINOs would stop Ramaswamy because the more merit that immigrants have, the less likely that they will work for less money than Americans.

— 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.)

— Stop Obsessing About Having the Perfect Career Plan – Rachel Feintzeig (COMMENT: My plan for a successful career in the automotive industry ended in early 1971 when I was 22 years old when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. 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.)

BLOOMBERG
— 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.)
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trillion-dollar-industry-powering-chicago-100000666.html
(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.

If there had been as many migrants when I was young as there are now, migrants would have gotten the bad jobs that I got and I would not have been able to earn enough a) to buy a 1958 Chevrolet in 1964 when I was 16, b) to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) to pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1988, e) to pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, or f) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— ‘What struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated. – Noel Manley’
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/646021621-manley-what-struck-me-was-the-level-of-indignance-both-commissioner-tornatore-and-chairman-zay-demonstrated
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Downers Grove Township Republican Organization hosted DuPage Commissioner Sam Tornatore and DuPage GOP Chairman Jim Zay. Noel Manley, a committeeman with the Downers Grove Township Republican Organization (DGTRO), said the pair’s performance was less than desirable. “DuPage Commissioner Tornatore and DuPage GOP Chairman Zay appeared at our July 10, 2023 DGTRO Committemen’s meeting,” Manley told the DuPage Policy Journal. “Both were invited by DGTRO Chairman Jack Novak to address concerns raised by committeemen regarding their actions. Commissioner Tornatore addressed a $1,000.00 donation made by his firm to Democrat Deb Conroy.” “The commissioner reported that he was invited to the event by a trusted Republican friend. It was discovered last night that donating to Democrat events is a common practice among Republican leadership. Chairman Zay’s remarks focused on coming together as Republicans and not dwell in the past. Both justified their actions as efforts necessary to protect the budgets of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.” “However, what struck me was the level of indignance both Commissioner Tornatore and Chairman Zay demonstrated in their explanations. Specifically, their justifications were peppered with comments such as, ‘I didn’t have to be here tonight.’ In addition, questions and comments raised by committeemen regarding the lack of support in recent elections, and contributions to Democrat events were simply dismissed or ignored. In fact, there was no effort to demonstrate any humility or contriteness regarding these matters.” “To compound this presentation, DGTRO Chairman Jack Novak referred to our group of concerned committeemen as anarchists and declared that there is no room for activism in the Republican Party. So it was clear that there was no interest in listening to our concerns, nor a willingness to understand the demoralizing impact GOP leadership’s actions are taking on the rank and file. In fact, the subtext was the exact opposite, ‘Get in line, and shut up. And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.’” Zay, chairman of the DuPage County Republican Party, has refused to criticize fellow Republicans who financially and materially supported Democratic candidate Deb Conroy in her campaign for DuPage County Board Chair. In a letter to the DuPage GOP, Zay emphasized the need for unity within the party and calls for an end to public criticism of fellow Republicans, stating that it only weakens the party and hinders its ability to expand its base. The statement came after Republican members, including Tornatore and former Board member Donald Puchalski, were outed by the DuPage Policy Journal for making campaign donations to Conroy, drawing attention and controversy within the party. Another Republican, former DuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni was paid by Conroy’s campaign for marketing efforts to get her elected. The DuPage Republicans who have thrown in to support the campaigns of Democrats as we Zay drew the ire of former state representative and one-time gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives. Ives, now CEO of Breakthrough Ideas, criticized her fellow DuPage County Republicans for supporting the progressive Conroy’s campaign for DuPage County Board Chair, highlighting Conroy’s alignment with the Democratic Party’s platform and her controversial legislative decisions. “Democrat policies have destroyed the state of Illinois,” Ives said. “I am disgusted that any of my fellow Republicans would do so or defend other Republicans who do so, especially a fundraiser for Deb Conroy.” “Conroy is opposed to every single aspect of our Republican party platform.”)

— French riots show the future of Joe Biden’s America – William Davis
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/07/french_riots_show_the_future_of_joe_bidens_america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the U.S. deals with the consequences of mass immigration, important lessons can be learned from our oldest European ally. Over the past few weeks, France has been engulfed in riots after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. The rioting and looting have largely been centered in communities with many migrants from North African and Islamic nations. The rioting has caused more than one billion dollars in property damage, and has led to thousands of arrests. It has also led to a renewed debate in Europe about the costs of mass migration and whether or not those costs are worth it. It’s not just the U.S. that has experienced an influx of foreign nationals in recent years. France took in a record number of migrants in 2022, both legal and illegal. The European Union resettled nearly one million migrants last year, not including refugees from war-torn Ukraine. The main countries of origin for these refugees were Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey, Venezuela, and Columbia. Just as we’ve seen in the U.S., these large influxes of migrants have had a destabilizing effect on the continent’s cultural, economic, and political life. The carnage occurring in France is the result of long-simmering tensions finally coming to the surface. It’s the results of migrants from third-world, war-torn countries not assimilating into their new country, but bringing the baggage from their old countries with them. During the France riots, a group of North African migrants could be seen chanting “f*ck France,” and “We’re just here for the welfare!” The crassness of these migrants certainly isn’t representative of everybody seeking to come from the third world to prosperous western nations, but it is indicative of a larger problem with mass immigration. Many of these foreign nationals come from countries where violence and chaos has been normalized, and the importation of migrants from these types of countries can also serve to normalize the same type of disorder in their new countries. This is why what’s happening in France should serve as a warning sign for Americans. More than five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office.)
