CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Pritzker, never shy about criticizing Republicans, calls for ‘common ground’ at national conference – Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner (COMMENT: RINO leaders have more in common with Democrats than with conservatives. RINO leaders reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the biggest RINO leaders in Illinois, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2000. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In 2021, RINO leaders in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton rallied together and ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks; a role that I had since 2005.)

— Chicago faces a critical moment in its affordable housing crisis. It needs more federal funding. – Tracey Scott (COMMENT: What helped you afford housing? For me, it was my working for Firestone Stores 1970-1972, for IRS 1971-1980, and for GAO 1980-1997. For my wife, it was her working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions 1970-1992. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that my wife and I could afford to have 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/915-Cove-Ct-60189/home/18126600 ) in 1984. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates always a) painted themselves as being grossly underpaid and b) demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid.)

— City fumbles on migrant issue again with bid to put tent camp in Brighton Park. Of all places, the city picks a site that once contained a zinc smelting operation — a process that can potentially leach toxins into the soil. It’s another example of blunders on handling Chicago’s migrant crisis. – Editorial (COMMENT: Will the Democrats who run Chicago Heights put an migrant tent camp on the Stauffler Chemical Plant Superfund Site at 111th & Arnold Street on the east side of Chicago Heights? SEE: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/CurSites/calinfo.cfm?id=0500156 My father worked in the office of that plant from 1941 until he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1ddd6e46-737e-11ee-89d9-73b7b802bd68.html

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

They will a) stress that Card is a White male and a) paint him as being a typical conservative.)

CHICAGO CONTRARIAN
— Stay or Go: Chicago’s Jewish Community Has a Choice to Make – BENJAMIN BLAIR
https://www.chicagocontrarian.com/blog/chicago-jewish-community-has-choice-to-make
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With rising anti-Semitism in the Windy City, does the urban equation still add up for the 85,000 Jews in Chicago? Roughly two percent of the world’s Jewish community resides in the greater Chicago area. According to a recent Brandeis study of the Chicagoland Jewish community, in 2020, there were 319,600 Jewish adults and children spread across 175,800 households in Chicago and its suburbs. Chicago’s Jewish population count was 85,000 at the time of the study. Chicago Jews are a diverse bunch. Some are observant, following as many of the 613 mitzvot (which comprise “doing good deeds” or “avoiding bad deeds”) as possible, including putting on Tefillin, observing shabbat and the holidays/festivals, and saying prayers daily. Others worship themselves, including Zen and the art of vaginoplasty. By the numbers, Chicago’s Jewish community was seven percent Orthodox (i.e., observant) in 2020 (the same as 2010). Conservative Jews, who generally believe they are fully observant with a few caveats, although the Orthodox would disagree, made up 16 percent of the population (down from 30 percent in 2010). Reform Jews (the Unitarians of the Jewish world) came in at 29 percent (down from 45 percent). Somewhat shockingly, 44 percent of the Jewish community had “no denomination” in 2020 (up from 14 percent in 2010). But the politics of Chicago’s Jewish community should surprise no one: 16 percent volunteer themselves as “extremely liberal”; 36 percent clock in as liberal; 18 percent are moderate; six percent are slightly conservative; 10 percent are conservative; and 2 percent are extremely conservative. In short: Most Chicago Jews don’t agree on much, but they tilt far to the political “left” outside the Orthodox community. In fact, many of Barack Obama’s biggest fanboys (inside baseball note: Who were generally responsible for driving his rise to fame even before his run for the White House) came from Chicago’s Jewish community – think the Pritzker family, for one.)

I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they took against me to get rid of me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old a) because I was all of the aforesaid, b) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) because I had been a union member while I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for the Post Office 1966-1969.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Illegal aliens are rational investors – Andrew Hodge
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/illegal_aliens_are_rational_investors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Migrants coming to the USA right now have to make a significant investment. There is a monetary investment in the form of payment given to the Mexican drug cartels to shepherd them to and across the border. Many migrants take flights from their home countries to Central or South America and then trek north. Flights costs money, which increases their investment after payments to the cartels. Often this also involves future payments earned as the result of working in this country, legally or not. These payments may be monetary or in the form of indentured labor. There are other forms of investment as well. Primary among them is human capital. Hiking from Central or South America to the U.S. border is not easy. It involves many weeks of time; many miles of walking; and risk of physical danger from snakes, terrain, and weather along the way. You have to sleep outside a lot, access to food is uncertain, and one has to negotiate the Rio Grande and the desert. We know that many are lost in transit. On top of that, there is the real risk of mistreatment by the cartels. Many, many adult and adolescent female migrants are sexually abused on their journey here. Children of both sexes are often abused as well. Once in the USA, they are often trafficked. Men and women are forced into indentured servitude by the cartels in different forms, some involving drug-dealing. The women are placed in brothels, displaying their wares on the streets of American cities. Think of the psychological and physical scars accrued by these people. That is a real cost that represents a very significant personal investment.)

— Black Success, White Backlash. Black prosperity has provoked white resentment that can make life exhausting for people of color—and it has led to the undoing of policies that have nurtured Black advancement. – Elijah Anderson (COMMENT: My critics/opponents are Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action (AA) decision. They promote AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), that is, they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They personally benefit from AA & DEI, they want to benefit from AA & DEI, they have ever had to pay the price of AA or DEI, they want to curry favor with minorities, females, and younger people by promoting AA & DEI, and/or they despise/hate Whites, men, and/or older people.)

FORBES
— Most Employers Offer Upskilling—Why Aren’t Workers Using It? – Dave Barnett (COMMENT: Since 1966, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government have used the fact that my federal employers (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997) either did not reimburse college tuition or only reimbursed a token amount. They have always used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that the courses that I took at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, Roosevelt 1980-1981, and IIT 1992-1997 were not job-related, did not maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and/or were a distraction. The aforesaid was stressed my Money Magazine in its February 1978 4-page article on me and that gave IRS an excuse to disallow my graduate business courses at Loyola and my graduate accounting courses at DePaul.)

I should write a book about those who were the most anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-draft avoiders, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Volunteers Help Migrants Find Permanent Housing in Chicago. It’s the only sanctuary city that has pointed to resettlement as the primary solution to put migrants on a path to self-sufficiency. But there are not enough case managers or landlords willing or able to rent to keep up with demand. – Laura Rodríguez Presa, Lizzie Kane and Nell Salzman (COMMENT: Chicago Democrats ever-increasing promote more illegal immigration. Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrats will ever-increasingly send more illegals to DuPage County, to Milton Township, and to Wheaton to destroy DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. The only thing that might slow them down is opposition from the ever-increasing number of rich wealthy limousine liberal Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who have invaded and taken over parts of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

Constructively, that rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree, b) my three job-related master’s degrees, c) my six job-related professional certifications, d) my job-related professional license, and e) my job-related work experience.)

ABC7

https://abc7chicago.com/university-of-chicago-protest-palestinian-israel/13946161/
— Democrats ask “Why are migrants coming to Chicago?” and acknowledge that “Asylum seekers in Texas are declaring Chicago as their desired city for resettlement.” Of course, migrants want to come to Chicago because of what Chicago is known for. Liberal Democrats run Chicago. Those liberal Democrats promote a) mass/illegal immigration, b) dependency on government and charity (free stuff), c) race and gender based preference giving, d) patronage, e) political affiliation discrimination, f) reverse discrimination, g) age discrimination, h) LGBTQ, i) abortion, j) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and k) abolition of the Second Amendment. Those liberal Democrats promote hated against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Migrants want to come to Chicago because they want what liberal Chicago Democrats promote. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated to Chicago in 1844, but they fled to Crete in 1854. I lived in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976 and full-time 1976-1978, but only because I got promoted to a job there. When my wife and I got married in 1978, we immediately fled to prosperous, safe, religious, conservative, and Republican Wheaton.

In today’s dollars, during those years, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/overseas_us_military_members_to_get_pay_cutagain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes. Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state. Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal aliens, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.)

— Democrats say “How To Use Storytelling In Your MBA Applications.” In my 1971 Loyola MBA application, I stressed that I wanted to take graduate evening business courses to maintain and improve my job skills. I had just been hired by IRS and my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business courses. Starting in 1972, I took and deducted one graduate evening business course at a time at Loyola and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. But in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those 16 courses. They intentionally ignored what I had stated in my application. They argued that the courses a) did not maintain or improve my job skills, b) were not related to my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) qualified me for a new trade or business, and e) were a distraction. I appealed to Tax Court and won. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed the courses if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.

October 13, 2023

Democrat leaders ever-increasingly bring illegals into America because Illegals vote for Democrats. However, everything is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to illegals, that is, to the citizens of foreign countries who they brought in. Consequently, Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly discriminate against citizens of America. Overwhelmingly, those citizens of America are Democrats who are poor, minority, female, and/or younger.

— Democrats acknowledge that IRS acknowledges that “Gap between U.S. income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing.” GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO intentionally wasted my knowledge of IRS. I 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 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. The Democrats who ran GAO kept me off of audits for all but 3 of those 18 years. During those 3 years, I worked on audits of what IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division did to close the tax gap. Further, after the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take early retirement, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives in Illinois, their staffs, and candidates for those offices further wasted my knowledge of IRS.

https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2023/09/30/trump-republicans-must-take-the-reins-of-the-illinois-gop/
(IBENDAHL UPDATE: A big thank you to everyone who already emailed me saying they wanted to be added to the list of Republicans who want a direct vote & a voice again in their Illinois Republican Party. It’s heartwarming to see so many standing up for their fellow Republicans. You folks truly get it. . .We’re still collecting names, so just let me know if you would like to be added to the growing list of supporters. We’re going to publish the list of supporters soon. We’re also going to publish the list of opponents–which I’m delighted to say is a very short list right now. Actually that’s not surprising. Anyone who actually cares about our Republican Party, as opposed to just their own selfish interest, does not have a problem with the idea of Republicans voting in their own party–just like we used to when Illinois was still a Red State. And yet there is a tiny handful, but those few names won’t surprise you. Thank you again, and just let me know if you have any questions. Also, your help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We invite any and all Republicans in Illinois to stand up and proudly lend her or his name to a long past-due reform. When some selfish old GOP bosses took our vote away years ago, THAT was the radical & inexplicable change. All we’re talking about now is restoring some common sense & professionalism to the Illinois Republican Party. It’s a major first step towards becoming something other than a perpetually losing party in Illinois.)

— Democrats acknowledge that IRS acknowledges that “Gap between US income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing.” GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO intentionally wasted my knowledge of IRS. I 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 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. The Democrats who ran GAO kept me off of audits for all but 3 of those 18 years. During those 3 years, I worked on audits of what IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division did to close the tax gap. Further, after the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take early retirement, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives in Illinois, their staffs, and candidates for those offices further wasted my knowledge of IRS.

— FRONT PAGE: Steve Scalise Quits House Speaker Race. GOP nominee for top job ran into stubborn opposition from bloc of fellow Republicans – Siobhan Hughes, Kristina Peterson, Katy Stech Ferek, and David Harrison (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who oppose me and why they oppose me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who reject lots of planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/steve-scalise-struggles-to-build-support-for-house-speaker-post-99be48e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of Scalise opponents was thought to stretch to as many as 20 members, beyond the dozen or so who had publicly rejected him. Those holdouts include Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Max Miller of Ohio. Disgraced New York Congressman George Santos, who faces federal fraud charges, also said he would oppose Scalise, saying the lawmaker had ignored him. Santos has denied wrongdoing. Many of the holdouts said they viewed electing Scalise as simply extending the status quo, while others have specific objections tied to strategy around spending bills or the process used to conduct the speaker election. Former President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Jordan in the GOP contest, said he would back whomever the party unites behind, while also pointing to health worries about Scalise. “I’m going to be with anybody they pick,” he said on Fox News Radio. “The one thing with Steve, he’s got to get well…he’s got to get strong.”)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, d) keeping me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, and e) forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, those adverse actions included a) never promoting me beyond GS-12, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974.

Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have done everything that they could to flood America with illegals. But now, some of those leaders are starting to falsely deny that they have done that because their success in doing that is causing more and more and more problems. Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor. Further, some Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a racist and even worse things if you do not promote more illegal immigration.

I have strongly promoted the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform a) since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, b) since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, c) while I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, d) while I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) while I served as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) while I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, g) while I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and h) while I served as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I should write a book about leaders of the aforesaid organizations, Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their supporters since 2000, conservative leaders and activists, religious leaders and activists, those who I have sued, and their attorneys who reject the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform, who want cheap labor, and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I promote the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and who ended my roles in the aforesaid organizations.

— Democrat leaders crow that “Chicago mayor calls out ‘right-wing extremists’ amid criticism over migrant influx.” Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have done everything that they could to flood America with illegals. But now, some of those leaders are starting to falsely deny that they have done that because their success in doing that is causing more and more and more problems. Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-mayor-right-wing-extremists-criticism-migrant-influx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing criticism and frustration from city leaders and residents as he prepares for a trip to the border amidst a daily influx of migrants arriving in Chicago. This week alone, an average of eight buses arrived daily, and the city has opened more than two dozen shelters for asylum seekers, with others sleeping at police stations and O’Hare Airport. Mayor Johnson is exploring backup plans to his tent encampments proposal as cold weather approaches, acknowledging that the migrant situation is not an overnight fix. He also lashed out at the far right wing of the Republican Party, which he blames for creating chaos and doing nothing to actually address the problem. “If people weren’t complaining, you could come to the conclusion that they didn’t expect much from us. The real disconnect is that you have an unclean spirit that has captured the right-wing extremists in this country. And I call on them to dig deeper and lean on their faith. As Jesus said, who our neighbors really are: the one on the roadside. Those are our neighbors,” Johnson said. The city has established an online donation site and is urging residents and community groups to donate items to help the migrants. Mayor Johnson has not yet disclosed a date for his trip to the Southern border, but promised transparency when it came to those plans and the costs involved.)

State police continues to review juvenile criminal records, as well as mental health records, and all clear and present danger reports to see if a report has ever been submitted for any individual. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System has always been and will continue to be a part of all firearm purchases, Kelly said.

— For Biden and Trump, Age Really Is Just a Number. How long can the two presidential candidates expect to live a healthy life? The answer from actuaries might surprise voters. – Josh Zumbrun
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For older individuals, we care more about how long someone their age can expect to live, which can be calculated with the Actuaries Longevity Illustrator. That tells us a nonsmoking male with Biden’s birthday, in good health, would be expected to live nine more years after next year’s Election Day, while for one with Trump’s birthday, it would be 11 years. That basic expectation is a median, meaning half of individuals would live longer, and half less. Would Biden and Trump live longer or less than the median? First, the median includes people who drink alcohol. Regular drinking of two or more drinks, three or more times a week, shortens life expectancy by about seven years. Both Trump and Biden are teetotalers, in addition to being nonsmokers. “Those are two of the biggest killers right there,” said Bradley Willcox, a professor and research director at the Department of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Hawaii. “When you eliminate excessive alcohol intake and smoking, one thing you’re left with is genetics.” Here, Trump and Biden picked their parents well. Trump’s mother lived to 88 and his father to 93, though late in life he developed Alzheimer’s disease. Biden’s mother died at 92—living long enough to see her son become the sixth-oldest vice president. Joe Biden Sr. died at 86. That’s even more impressive than it sounds: When those four individuals were born, life expectancy was around 50. Biden and Trump are each highly educated at a time when the life-expectancy gap between the educated and uneducated has been growing. They are wealthy, also a strong predictor of longer life. They receive excellent healthcare.)

But by then, because of my terrible demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844), I was viewed as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It would be great if Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton wrote more articles that promote 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. It would be great if they wrote more articles that showed the tremendous damage cause by promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination. It would be great if they would email me at diersen@aol.com links for the aforesaid articles so that I could include them in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/10/1/23896239/west-chicago-trash-latino-naperville-lakeshore-recycling-lrs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mueller challenged opponent Julieta Alcántar-Garcia at the hearing of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, questioning her criticisms about a city process that led to approval of the garbage transfer site. Alcántar-Garcia and others complained that city hearings over the matter were done without a translator despite a large number of Spanish-speaking residents. Some residents missed deadlines and weren’t allowed to provide comment, she said. “I felt we were silenced,” Alcántar-Garcia said. Mueller asked if Alcántar-Garcia spoke English and whether she was an immigrant since she worked with an organization called Immigrant Solidarity DuPage. She said she grew up in West Chicago. “The whole Spanish language issue is a smokescreen,” Mueller said, adding that Latino-owned businesses he’s visited in West Chicago speak English to their customers. In an interview Friday, Mueller elaborated on his comments saying “there are clear benefits” to the project and pointed out the LRS site is in an industrial zone. “I think the citizens in the community are using identity politics without seeing if the project actually impacts anything,” Mueller said. “Everybody knows pollution-control facilities are considered unpopular land uses, but they’re the price we pay to have a modern society.” Specifically, the proposed LRS site would receive 650 tons of solid waste a day and would add hundreds of diesel-fuel garbage trucks and other large vehicles weekly. That would add to already high levels of fine particulate matter pollution, according to Alcántar-Garcia, who used a hand-held air monitor to collect data. She was not allowed to present that information during city hearings earlier this year that ultimately led to the initial LRS approval. . .West Chicago is at least half-Latino, according to the U.S. Census, which makes it an outlier in DuPage County where a number of cities and villages are predominantly white. The proposed facility would take trash from predominantly white communities and other areas, including Aurora. No other community in DuPage County has even one trash-transfer site. Robert Weinstock, who represents Alcántar-Garcia and others through Northwestern University’s Environmental Advocacy Center, accuses the city of “structural environmental racism.” Dennis Walsh, a lawyer defending West Chicago, said the city council made an impartial decision and took its job seriously to make sure the proposed trash operation met criteria established by the state to protect the health of people who live nearby. Mueller said LRS also took its responsibility to meet the state requirements “very seriously.”
In an interview, Mueller acknowledged learning about environmental justice fights in Chicago but said the LRS proposal is different. “Part of the problem here is everyone wants to use the term ‘environmental justice,’ and I don’t think they understand what it means,” Mueller said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Out of the Capitol for more than eight years, former longtime State Sen. Kirk Dillard doesn’t miss the process. “It’s a people business to be in politics and government, and I miss my colleagues,” said Dillard during a visit to Springfield last week. But today’s Republican Party, particularly in Illinois, may not have room for a moderate such as he. “The Republican Party has changed a great deal from myself, Gov. (Jim) Thompson, Gov. (Jim) Edgar,” he said. “It’s clearly moved to the right, but I’ve learned the pendulum swings back and forth. But the party today is more populist than I was, because I was somebody who just tried to get things done.” Case in point: Dillard’s chairmanship of the Chicago area Regional Transportation Authority. Dillard ran for governor in 2014 and finished a narrow second in the Republican primary to the eventual winner, Bruce Rauner.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/09/21/bidens-game-changer-for-migrants-00117310
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Randy Frese announced on Wednesday he won’t seek reelection for the 99th Illinois House District he’s held since 2015. He joins a few other Republican incumbents who are stepping away from government at a time when Illinois Republicans have lost steam. Frese called the job “quite challenging” while also “very rewarding.” Challenging indeed. One of the biggest tests for Republicans in Springfield is the frustration of being in the super minority, unable to build on an agenda. The Illinois House counts 40 Republicans to 78 Democrats, making it near impossible to get anything past the majority party. Who else isn’t running: Frese’s announcement follows news that state Reps. Dan Caulkins of Decatur, Mike Marron of Fithian and John Egofske of Lemont won’t seek reelection in 2024, either.)

FOX DALLAS
— Couples Figuring Out Finances – Steve Noviello (COMMENT: I should write a book about the nasty impact that Money Magazine’s nasty February 1978 4-page article has had on me. As Money Magazine had intended, IRS disallowed the graduate evening a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and deducted and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul 1976-1978 and deducted. I won the business courses in Tax Court, but I lost the accounting courses because the judge established a new rule that accounting courses are not deductible until you are qualified to take the CPA examination. Notwithstanding the article, a) my wife and I still got married in April of 1978 and we are still married, b) we bought a home in Wheaton in April of 1978, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, e) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, f) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, g) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, h) we had a home built in Wheaton in 1984, i) GAO promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986, j) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, and k) I survived as a GAO employee until September 30, 1997. The article brought to light lots of information that my critics/opponents have used against me and continue to use against me including a) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, b) that I am 100% German national origin, c) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971, d) that I have always been a conservative Republican, e) that I had been a National Treasury Employees Union member since 1971, f) that I had been a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office, g) that I had lived in Crete 1948-1972, and h) that I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. But the biggest and longest lasting damage done by the article was its success in demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me as having been promoted far too fast and therefore making me grossly overpaid. That directly led to GAO’s success in a) forcing me suffer a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) delaying my promotions, c) never promoting me beyond GS-13, d) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and e) forcing me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

https://www.highereddive.com/news/wheaton-college-library-name-racist-review/694300/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton College will remove a former college president’s name from its campus library to redress the Illinois institution’s past racist policies, according to a 122-page historical review of the college’s race relations. The library will no longer be named after the late James Oliver Buswell Jr. due to his “de facto policy of denying qualified Black applicants admission” to the college in the 1930s, the report said. It announced the building will now simply be called “the Library.” The Christian institution will also assess its level of support for students of color, and continue to hold discussions with the Lakota people over the college’s ownership of the Black Hills Science Station property in South Dakota.)

Across the nation’s collegiate classrooms, women outnumber men three to two. Of course, this ratio does not yet reflect the growing number of students who identify outside of the gender binary. But still, it is significant — and for some admissions offices, alarming.)

The Invest in Kids tax credit program that is expiring is fascist and racist according to teachers unions and CTU President Stacy Davis Gates yet she has school choice sending her kids to private schools. Facts are that 40% of the Chicago teachers send their kids to private school. Nationally 11% of the parents send kids to private school while it is 20% of teachers sending their kids to private school. With at least 50 schools and possibly more in Chicago not having any kids read, write or complete math at grade level no wonder CTU is sending their kids to private schools. Evidently, they can’t educate taxpayers’ kids so they want someone else to educate theirs using their over bloated tax payer-paid salary to pay tuition.)

I share all of the aforesaid demographics with Trump.

I am conservative, Republican, 100% German American, and I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I should write a book about the great success that Democrat politicians had forcing my many liberal Jewish GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors and supervisors to take many/big adverse actions against me. At GAO, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and they forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. AT IRS, they never promoted me beyond GS-12, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. At the Post Office, they forced me to resign in 1969 and they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. Further, I should write a book about the vicious 4-page article in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue that liberal Jews wrote about me.

NEW YORK POST
— Biden protects the bloated bureaucracy over those they serve – Betsy McCaughey (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. Do you know any Republicans who work/worked for the federal government? In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans GAO hired. In 1971, I was one of last Republicans IRS hired. In 1966, I was one of the last Republicans the Post Office hired. I should write a book about what my Democrat superiors did to waste my career and to get rid of me.)
https://nypost.com/2023/09/18/biden-protects-the-bloated-bureaucracy-over-those-they-serve/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House unveiled a proposed rule Friday that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrest control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules making it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them. They overwhelmingly favor the left. A staggering 95% of unionized federal employees who donate to political candidates give to Democrats, according to Open Secrets. Only a tiny 5% support Republicans. Some federal workers in high positions slow-walk or even derail a Republican president’s agenda — and get away with it. Why bother to vote if the left-leaning deep state stays in charge no matter who wins the presidency? GOP candidates Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis are vowing to conquer this obstructionism.)

https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/18/goldman-sachs-quietly-scrubs-race-based-eligibility-criteria-diversity-program-legal-experts-concerns/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Goldman Sachs quietly scrubbed references to race from its eligibility criteria for a two-day “diversity symposium” after legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the program could run into problems with federal civil rights laws. The eligibility criteria for Goldman Sachs’ 2023 MBA Diversity Symposium previously restricted the program to students “that identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, or women,” according to a web archive from Sept. 13. The eligibility requirements no longer include race or gender, the current webpage shows, a change that follows a Saturday DCNF report on race and gender-restricted opportunities for college students offered by top Wall Street investment banking firms. The program is now open to “first-year MBA students interested in pursuing a 2024 Summer Associate opportunity,” according to the updated information page. Goldman Sachs now notes at the bottom of the page that “students that identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, or women are encouraged to apply.”)

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.)

Most of them have called Chicago home for decades — providing thousands of jobs within the city’s $75 billion finance industry.)
