CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “House migrants at City Hall, police union president says. John Catanzara, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he’s fed up with having Chicago police officers “babysit” asylum seekers staying at district stations.”

— Democrats say “Migrants returned to controversial police stations as crisis intensifies. The Ogden and Town Hall police districts had originally been emptied due to allegations of sexual misconduct. The city said a rising number of immigrants arriving has forced them to reuse the stations.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/24/23844484/migrants-returned-to-controversial-police-stations-as-crisis-intensifies
— Democrats say “A year in, Chicago’s migrant crisis shows no sign of letting up. The state, we think, should be more aggressive in coordinating efforts to find suburbs, or even downstate communities, willing to take in asylum seekers.” How many illegals is your community going to take?

— Democrats say “Health of thousands of migrants at Chicago police stations is in the hands of volunteer Mobile Migrant Health Team. The team got started in early May with just a few medical school students and doctors and has grown to about 200 volunteers. It’s the primary source of care for those staying temporarily at police stations.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/25/23834731/mobile-migrant-health-team-asylum-seekers

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater says “It’s time for Illinois to turn the tables on Trump.” In your municipality, in your township, and in your county, who leads the effort to promote more hatred against Trump and against his supporters? I should write about those Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.

— Democrats say “These Midwestern cities are among best housing markets for first-time homebuyers.” If the new town home that I bought in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old had been built in a higher-cost municipality like Wheaton, I would not have been able to buy it.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/these-midwestern-cities-are-among-best-housing-markets-for-first-time-homebuyers-ranking/3214696/
— Democrats ask “Can you still apply for the 2023 Chicago Marathon?” and say “What to know as the race draws near” and say “Over 45,000 participants are expected to take to the streets of Chicago in the city’s October marathon.”  Can you run? While I can stand and walk, I have not been able to run since the late 1950s because of a hereditary bone disease. While that has had a major impact on my life, it did not stop me from being classified 1-A for the draft.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-marathon/chicago-marathon-registration-when-application-time/3214238/
— Democrats say “After thousands in Illinois, Wisconsin lose power in heat wave, check outages near you. Both ComEd and WE Energy in Wisconsin have said that they are activating additional crews to address any issues with the power grid.” I should write about my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most for having a natural gas fired whole house back up electric generator installed.

— Democrats say “Patients in Illinois, other states struggle to afford fertility treatments.” Government and politics are nasty/vicious. The first test tube baby was born in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed that my wife and I gave up trying to have children before trying the test tube baby process. Our doctors did not recommend it because we both had big fertility problems. Further, my Democrat GAO superiors stressed that we did not adopt or become foster parents. Further, they strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or become a licensed CPA in 1981 and b) my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/expensive-fertility-treatments/

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/stolen-hyundai-tucson-cha-patrick-sullivan-senior-apartments/

FOX32

I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981.

— Democrats crow that “Illinois lands $1.3M federal grant to promote more women in construction industry.” While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, for IRS 1971-1980, and for the Post Office 1966-1969, the agencies were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrat women, and especially Democrat women who were minority and/or younger.

NBC5
— Democrats say “Salary information coming to Illinois job postings under new law.” Federal employee salaries have always been transparent. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office offered me only $82,720/year (GS-9 Step 10) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In today’s dollars, that was a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut; my GS-12 Step 5 IRS salary was $104,583/year. GAO audits IRS. I was an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO as an Analyst. 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 passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, GAO would have offered me a promotion at least to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, to transfer. GAO did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986. Since 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates and the rest of my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid pay cut against me big time.

McGlaughlin ran Roskam’s campaign against Duckworth 2006.

According to my critics/opponents, I painted Roskam as being far more conservative than they wanted him to be painted. They cringed that I got 25 homeowners in my precinct to display signs for Roskam. Of course. my critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.

They stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and that my ACT score was only 24. My Democrat superiors in the federal government ignored, dismissed, belittled, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the job-related degrees that I earned in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997.  In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did.

— Gun owners describe to Pew survey why they own their weapons – Jennifer Harper
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/aug/20/inside-beltway-gun-owners-describe-why-they-own-th/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A sign of the times, perhaps: Gun owners in the United States continue to cite “protection” as the major reason they have a gun, according to a new Pew Research Center poll which reveals that 32% of Americans say they personally own a gun. Political persuasion plays a role. “About half of conservative Republicans (51%) say they own a gun. That compares with 38% of moderate and liberal Republicans, 24% of conservative and moderate Democrats, and 16% of liberal Democrats,” an analysis of the findings said. “While a sizable majority of gun owners (71%) say they enjoy having a gun, an even larger share (81%) say they feel safer owning a gun,” the analysis noted. The survey found that 72% of owners advise that “protection” is their major motivation — and it surpasses the shares of gun owners who cite other reasons for gun ownership — such as use in hunting, fishing, sports shooting or to satisfy a job requirement. “Gun ownership is far more common among residents of rural areas (47%) than among people living in suburbs (30%) or urban areas (20%). Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (45%) are far more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners (20%) to report owning a gun,” the findings continued. Meanwhile, just 12% of the gun owners said they were worried about having a gun in the home.)

— Every parent should fight back vs. the left’s war on merit – Karol Markowicz (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.)
https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/every-parent-should-fight-back-vs-the-lefts-war-on-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It used to be obvious that merit is part of achieving the American dream. But like it’s doing to so many self-evident things, the left is attempting to destroy this idea as it pursues a Sovietesque system of “equity.” Parents might not see merit’s decline as a more pressing concern than their children being told they can be any gender they choose from day to day. Most kids are academically average. Why fight over merit when there are so many other ideological fights to be had? Parents have to see merit as part and parcel of the left’s push to impose its ridiculous concepts on our kids. The idea that everyone can have an equal outcome has been tried again and again in failed socialist countries. When the left succeeds in ending merit in a school, you can be sure the rest of the woke ideas parents abhor have already taken over the curriculum. Beyond that, our schools’ loss of rigor has dumbed down our country, and the retreat from pursuing merit has slowed success for so many kids.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/21/opinion/if-republicans-narrow-the-field-we-will-beat-trump.html
— Democrats say “Ramaswamy’s Faith Singled Out in DeSantis Super PAC Memo. An opposition research memo suggests that Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been gaining on Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in some polls, “was very much ingrained in India’s caste system.” My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-desantis-documents.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The document’s first paragraph, addressing Mr. Ramaswamy’s past support for inheritance taxes, draws a link between that policy position and his Hindu upbringing as the son of Indian immigrants. “Ramaswamy — a Hindu who grew up visiting relatives in India and was very much ingrained in India’s caste system — supports this as a mechanism to preserve a meritocracy in America and ensure everyone starts on a level playing field,” the document states. . .Asked to comment on the reason for highlighting Mr. Ramaswamy’s religion and background, the super PAC’S chief executive, Chris Jankowski, said in a statement: “We are highlighting that his philosophy of government is a direct reflection of his life experience. When his parents moved here from India, they had an 85 percent inheritance tax. In fact, his support of the inheritance tax is connected to the argument he makes in his book against meritocracy.”)
— Democrats say “Courts Need to Protect Press Freedoms.” Since 2000, my critics/opponents have shouted at the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) that because I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, they have the power to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, they have the power to dictate what I include and what I do not include in those newsletters. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have taken and continue to take against me since 2000.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/20/opinion/kansas-press-freedom.html
— Democrats say “The 6 Kinds of Republican Voters.” If you are a Republican, what kind are you? I am a “Traditional Conservative,” but my critics/opponents to the left of me demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “Right Wing.” Since at least at least the 1970s, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican have ever-increasingly been “Moderate Establishment.” They reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other planks in the Republican Party platform. They ever-increasingly focus on driving out of the Republican Party Traditional Conservatives and Right Wingers out of the Republican Party. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/17/upshot/six-kinds-of-republican-voters.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Moderate Establishment (14%). Highly educated, affluent, socially moderate or even liberal and often outright Never Trump. The Traditional Conservatives (26%). Old-fashioned economic and social conservatives who oppose abortion and prefer corporate tax cuts to new tariffs. They don’t love Mr. Trump, but they do support him. The Right Wing (26%). They watch Fox News and Newsmax. They’re “very conservative.” They’re disproportionately evangelical. They believe America is on the brink of catastrophe. And they love Mr. Trump more than any other group. The Blue Collar Populists (12%). They’re mostly Northern, socially moderate, economic populists who hold deeply conservative views on race and immigration. Not only do they back Mr. Trump, but he himself probably counted as one a decade ago. The Libertarian Conservatives (14%). These disproportionately Western and Midwestern conservatives value small government. They’re relatively socially moderate and isolationist, and they’re on the lower end of Trump support compared with other groups. The Newcomers (8%). They don’t look like Republicans. They’re young, diverse and moderate. But these disaffected voters like Democrats and the “woke” left even less.)
— How electable are you? Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters shout that if you are a Republican, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the less electable that you are. I share the following demographics with Trump: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, our ancestors have been in America for a long time, married, non-poor, draft-avoider, and gun-owner.

He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. My mother never attended high school. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have always treated me like I am low class. 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 have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

ATTORNEY JOHN P. MAHONEY
— What Is the Difference Between a Disciplinary Action and an Adverse Action? (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors and the adverse actions that they took against me. Of course, my critics/opponents side with my Democrat superiors against me. My critics/opponents reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform and/or they promote discrimination against those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time to curry favor with those who are liberal, moderate, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

— Federal Employees Could Be Fired at Any Time for Any Reason, Under a Bill That Was Just Reintroduced – ERICH WAGNER (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government.

https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2023/05/feds-could-be-fired-any-time-any-reason-under-bill-was-just-reintroduced/386258/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., are the lead sponsors of the Public Service Reform Act (H.R. 3115), which would make career federal workers at-will employees and get rid of most of the avenues currently available to appeal adverse personnel decisions. It also would abolish the Merit Systems Protection Board.”)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats say “Republican leaders talk mail-in voting push, gaining suburban votes at Illinois State Fair.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Republican candidates and party leaders should stress the Republican Party platform including its law enforcement, individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They should stress the tremendous damage caused by the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms including crime, poverty, dependency on government and charity, destruction of traditional marriage and family, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They should stress that while Trump was President, he did more to defend and advance the Republican Party platform than either Bush.

Who’s he? GOP focuses on rebuilding at State Fair — not party’s indicted presidential frontrunner.

— Democrats Kick Loyal Black Voters to Back of the Bus on Immigration, School Overcrowding and Crime (COMMENT: Democrats certainly did not kick my Black subordinate to the back of the bus. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old so that they could give him my job and my preferred corner office, and that is exactly what they did. They would not have done that if I had was a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done that if I had not been an active member since 1988 in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— The problem with crossing that line. – Silvio Canto, Jr.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/the_problem_with_crossing_that_line.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in the last week of the Clinton presidency, there were concerns about the legal status of President Clinton once he left Washington. Could he have been indicted by, say Arkansas, for lying in a courtroom? In the end the issue was resolved and Clinton admitted wrongdoing, paid a fine and lost his law license. Maybe you remember the headline: In a Deal, Clinton Avoids Indictment. Today, the Democrats have thrown the DoJ and now a Georgia DA at President Trump. Could this be a case of “be careful what you wish for”?)

EPOCH TIMES
— Biden Admin Working to Bring Racial Equity to Towns, Suburbs. HUD says local communities must take action to ‘affirmatively further’ diversity. – Kevin Stocklin (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that the higher the percentage of Whites who are in your state, county, township, municipality, and/or school district, the higher the percentage of Republicans are there who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Since 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have stressed that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, a) no Blacks lived there, b) it was overwhelmingly Protestant, and c) it was overwhelmingly German American. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/us/analysis-biden-admin-working-to-bring-racial-equity-to-towns-suburbs-5471333
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Actions by the Biden administration to expand racial equity are making their way into America’s suburbs and towns. The Department of Housing and Development (HUD) is implementing a new program that would compel any town, city, or county that accepts federal housing grants to “proactively take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities, and foster inclusive communities free from discrimination.” The program, called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), is a reinstatement of HUD’s 2015 AFFH Rule, originally introduced by the Obama administration but repealed in 2020 by the Trump administration, which criticized the policy’s “onerous burden on localities and federal overreach into local housing policy.” Under the Biden policy, “in order to qualify for community development block grant funds, [communities] have to prepare and submit a plan to demonstrate that they are ‘affirmatively furthering fair housing,’” Howard Husock, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “The Poor Side of Town,” a critique of American housing policies, told The Epoch Times. “They will have to pass muster with regulators at HUD, who will review the steps they’re taking and decide whether they measure up.” Among the things that HUD will look for, Mr. Husock said, is if low-income housing “is being built in ‘high-opportunity neighborhoods’; is it being built close to high-performing schools; is close to libraries or supermarkets; with public facilities being located in ways that best serve those of a low income.” According to a statement by HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, “Hardworking families are blocked from purchasing homes because of the color of their skin.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Ready, set, go! Politicians gearing up for 2024 races descend on Illinois State Fair – Patrick Keck (COMMENT: I have always been conservative. I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999. I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000. I started attending Republican Days and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee meetings, and Illinois Republican County Chairman’s Association meetings at State Fairs and reporting on them in 2000. I started attending IRP State Conventions as a delegate in 2000. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. But because conservatives are ever-increasingly unwelcome at Republican Days, I have stopped attending them.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/08/16/dems-gop-look-to-sparkle-2024-excitement-at-illinois-state-fair/70594450007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next two days at the Illinois State Fair will feature political rallies led by both political parties as the countdown to next year’s election season marches forward. Democrats will kick off action on Wednesday with Governor’s Day and Republicans follow on Thursday. Outside of the fair, the parties will hold meetings in downtown Springfield including the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch at the Bank of Springfield Center. There, Illinois Democrats will be joined by guest speaker U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, starting at 9 a.m. before heading to the fairgrounds. Republican’s time on the Director’s Lawn will be preceded with several events, among them the Republican County Chairs’ Association president reception on Wednesday before a joint meeting with RCCA and the State Central Committee Thursday morning at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. For Democrats and Republicans alike, the fair days and meetings provide opportunities to build up its campaign finance war chests heading into 2024. No statewide candidates will be featured in next year’s election, but votes for president, U.S. Congress, the Illinois House of Representatives and a handful of state Senate seats among other local races will take place. The political days fall just more than seven months away from the March primary, but also less than three weeks from when candidates can begin circulating nomination papers. Congressional, state legislature and other local candidates begin this process on Sept. 5. Presidential candidates start on Oct. 27. All candidates have until Dec. 4 to file the papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections. . .Illinois Republicans have their work cut out for them, not holding power in any of the state’s three branches of government in addition to a smaller pool of political backers for major campaign funding. The state fair represents an opportunity for the party to make up ground in the funding battle and later support its candidates come election time. Who the party chooses to back for the White House has not been clear at this point, but it could have to put its weight behind a familiar name. National polls indicate if the presidential election were to take place today, it would be a 2020 rematch of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Already not a popular figure in Illinois, losing the state by more than 15 points in both 2016 and 2020, Trump is coming off his fourth indictment this time for allegedly tinkering with 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictments of the former commander-in-chief have prompted varying responses from GOP lawmakers in the state, some of which have pledged continued support to Trump and others to say move on. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has claimed investigations led by the U.S. Department of Justice into Trump have been politically motivated. “The American people will not tolerate this attack from Biden’s DOJ on our electoral process or our system of justice, where justice is supposed to be blind,” she said in a statement earlier this month. The party’s 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Darren Bailey, rose in prominence among Republicans before the primary thanks in part to an endorsement from the former president. Still, he and other candidates speaking at last year’s fair were mum on Trump and instead focused on what they described as failures by Democrats to control crime and spending. That backing from Trump, in the end, proved in some ways to bite Bailey in the general election where Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker won a second term with comfortable margins.)

COLLEGE FIX
— Teachers favor girls, but ‘racism’ is bigger issue – MATT LAMB (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, ever-increasingly, fewer and fewer and fewer White men earn college degrees.

UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU in 1969 when I was 20, Loyola in 1972 when was 23, DePaul in 1976 when I was 27, and IIT in 1992 when I was 43; but because of my many aforesaid bad demographics, they would not admit me today if I was 18, 20, 23, or 43. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. I avoided the draft.)

— American Psychological Association calls for ‘adversity scales’ in admissions after SCOTUS affirmative action ruling – Haika Mrema (COMMENT: What adversities did you overcome? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I never had any adversities to overcome. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could never be corrected to 20/20. I have always had partial red/green color blindness. Since grade school I have not been able to run because a bone disease. Because my parents lacked money, I had to work my way through college.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Those on the left have always argued that those who are in the majority discriminate against those who are in the minority. Ever-increasingly, a) those on the left are the majority and b) they discriminate against those on the right. Ever-increasingly, those on the left are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, have more money than others, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, those on the right are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, have less money than others, Christian, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about a) those who are on the left in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton and b) who discriminate against those on the right in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus in those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/naperville-gun-dealer-appeals-to-us-supreme-court-to-lift-assault-weapon-ban
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the battle over assault weapons in Illinois heats up, gun supporters are coming to the aid of a west suburban firearms dealer. A rally and fundraiser was held Sunday at Law Weapons in Naperville. The owner says he’s lost 85% of his business since both the state and Naperville banned the sale of assault weapons. Robert Bevis says he’s had to lay off employees and max out his credit cards to keep his store open. Bevis is suing Naperville and the state, saying the assault weapon ban is unconstitutional. “They’re infringing upon our Second Amendment rights. They’re causing due harm to every citizen that has the right to own a firearm in this state. And they’re costing people’s lives by not allowing them to get the firearms they’d like to,” Bevis said. On Friday, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban. Bevis is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and issue an injunction lifting the ban on assault weapon sales.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After a bloody clash over the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago’s Grant Park, then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot tasked a special commission with reviewing the city’s public monuments in what she said was “a racial healing and historical reckoning project.” . . . Public monuments have been a subject of spirited debate across the country for years, including in Chicago. Amid a national discussion about race in America in 2020, Columbus came under renewed scrutiny as statues across the U.S. were pulled down and local governments stopped celebrating the holiday in his name. Though Chicago was one of the cities where the monuments were lifted, Lightfoot at first resisted their removal and insisted afterward that the Grant Park statue should eventually return.)

If the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, Republican township and ward party organizations, Republican elected officials, conservative leaders and activists, and religious leaders and activists did what they should be doing, there would be no need for GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and Republicans would be the majority in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/04/white-house-purges-442-reporters-using-new-press-credential-rules/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday. The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas was among the reporters slated to lose his White House press credentials, although he was given a 10-day extension “to submit the required materials.” The White House now requires reporters to obtain press credentials from Congress or the Supreme Court to fulfill its new requirement; Lucas is currently awaiting a decision on his applications to the other branches. Politico’s West Wing Playbook first reported the numbers Wednesday along with news that Simon Ateba, the White House correspondent for Today News Africa, lost his hard pass. Ateba, along with the other 441 reporters who no longer have credentials, won’t be able to attend White House press briefings or access the sprawling Pennsylvania Avenue campus unless they obtain what’s called a temporary day pass. The White House announced new rules in May to limit the number of journalists who are eligible for a White House hard pass. Reporters are still allowed to apply for a day pass, but they must do so daily and undergo Secret Service review. Up until this week, the White House didn’t disclose the number of reporters who had a hard pass. Politico reported, “Within the past three months, the number of hard pass holders dropped from 1,417 to 975, with those approved reflecting a mix of renewals and new applications.” . . . The six rules outlined in the May memo require reporters to be employed full time at an organization that disseminates news, live in the Washington, D.C., area, regularly access and cover the White House, and submit to a Secret Service investigation. They also now require pass holders to first obtain “accreditation by a press gallery in either the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, or Supreme Court.” (See the full email from the White House Press Office at the end of this story.) The memo also gives President Joe Biden’s press team greater power to expel journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” Ateba regularly sparred with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, leading to stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and an appearance on the now-canceled “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Last month, the White House Press Office sent Ateba a warning that he risked expulsion if he continued to interrupt briefings in violation of the new rules.)

NATIONAL JURIST
— Best job market since 1987 for law grads (COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, my Democrat IRS superiors hired me as a GS-7 (currently $52,002/year) Revenue Officer. The employee manual that they gave me encouraged Revenue Officers to take graduate business, accounting, and/or law courses. In 1972, I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola, and in 1976 I earned an MBA. In 1976, I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, and in 1980 I earned a master’s degree. In 1979, I took and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Virtually none of my coworkers did anything close to that. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) had no professional certification.)
