ABC7
— Chicago Auto Show holding Automotive Career Day (COMMENT: My plans for an automotive career ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 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 because I had accepted that offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

WGN RADIO
— GOP challenges Illinois’ judicial policies on female, minority attorneys – Joey Schneider (COMMENT: To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. My Democrat superiors and supervisors in the federal government gave preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That is, they discriminated against their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)
https://wgnradio.com/news/gop-challenges-illinois-judicial-policies-on-female-minority-attorneys/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three federal judges in Illinois adopted policies in 2020 that could allow female and minority attorneys extra time to make arguments in various court proceedings. In recent weeks, at least two Republican U.S. Senators and one conservative nonprofit group have challenged these policies. A nonprofit called America First Legal first sent a complaint to U.S. Chief Judge Diane Skyes on Jan. 25, claiming that the three Illinois judges with these policies promoted “unlawful judicial race and sex discrimination.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump’s Chicago lawyers allege ‘mudslinging’ in bid to freeze Illinois ballot challenge in appellate court. This all comes as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether the Colorado Supreme Court erred when it found in December that Trump is barred from the presidency under the 14th Amendment. The nation’s high court seems poised to rule in Trump’s favor. – Jon Seidel

— Little Village mass shooting is another chapter in the saga of gun violence. America, and Chicago, don’t need more guns around when people easily fly off the handle, as a gunman did in Little Village this past Sunday, injuring seven people. Nearly four dozen mass shootings have been reported nationwide already in 2024. – Editorial

GAO is now less than a shell of what it once was. I should write a book about those RINO congressional leaders who defunded GAO. Because of their defunding GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors punished me severely They wasted my career, took many big adverse actions against me, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They forced me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half or my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.)

https://archive.nytimes.com/economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/29/gingrich-and-the-destruction-of-congressional-expertise/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In addition to the C.B.O., one often hears attacks on the Congressional Research Service, the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Government Accountability Office. Lately, the G.A.O. has been the prime target. Appropriators are cutting its budget by $42 million, forcing furloughs and cutbacks in investigations that identify billions of dollars in savings yearly. So misguided is this effort that Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma and one of the most conservative members of Congress, came to the agency’s defense. In a report issued by his office on Nov. 16, Senator Coburn pointed out that the G.A.O.’s budget has been cut by 13 percent in real terms since 1992 and its work force reduced by 40 percent — more than 2,000 people. By contrast, Congress’s budget has risen at twice the rate of inflation and nearly doubled to $2.3 billion from $1.2 billion over the last decade. Mr. Coburn’s report is replete with examples of budget savings recommended by G.A.O. He estimated that cutting its budget would add $3.3 billion a year to government waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiency that will go unidentified. . .It is essential that Congress not cripple what is left of its in-house expertise. Gutting the G.A.O. and abolishing the C.B.O. would be acts of nihilism. Any politician recommending such things is unfit for office.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When buses ferrying migrants north from Texas began arriving in Naperville, Illinois, which is roughly 30 miles from Chicago, local officials were caught off guard. “We had a total of six buses in December and they went directly to the Metra train station with occupants boarding trains to Chicago,” Naperville Director of Communications Linda LaClouche said. “We did not receive any prior notification of this and became aware of this after it happened.” After those buses dropped off their riders, the city started planning for migrant arrivals and forged an emergency operations plan, LaClouche said. “Given how the situation has evolved and changed, we continue to update our plan,” she said. Naperville has a population of 149,936 and a median household income of $143,754, according to Census data. It has about 68 homes currently on the market worth more than $1 million, according to residential real estate brokerage Redfin. It’s one of a laundry list of Illinois suburbs ? at least 20 in the greater Chicago area ? to which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants since the city of Chicago began fining and in some cases impounding buses. Abbott has not said why he is now targeting towns outside Chicago, and his office did not respond to a request for comment.)

NEW REPUBLIC
— What is/was your occupation? What percent in your occupation is/was minority and/or female? According to Democrat and RINO leaders, if there are fewer minorities and/or females in an occupation, it is because of racism and/or sexism. But wait, what about unpopular occupations, that is, what about bad jobs? Why would minorities or females want bad jobs? According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs. I was a part-time postal employee 1966-1969, an IRS Revenue Officer 1971-1980, and a GAO Analyst 1980-1997. Why would minorities or females want the bad jobs that I had? The answer is that they did not want them. That is why my superiors had a very hard time recruiting and retaining minorities and females. That is why they lowered requirements dramatically to hire, retain, and promote minorities and females. That is why 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 Black subordinate.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/02/10/on-her-way-out-rnc-chair-ronna-mcdaniel-urges-crowd-in-rosemont-to-vote-early/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel used an Illinois GOP fundraiser Friday night to deliver a valedictory address of sorts as she prepares for her ouster from the party post later this month under pressure from former President Donald Trump. Appearing at an event aimed at encouraging Republicans to vote early and by mail, a “Bank Your Vote” program she initiated despite criticism from Trump and other GOP leaders that the practice Democrats have used successfully has been littered with fraud, McDaniel made no mention of the former president or her imminent departure as RNC chair. She exhorted a crowd of more than 700 people in a ballroom at the Westin O’Hare hotel in Rosemont to pledge to vote early, avoid an Election Day vote deficit and save the party from the expense of pushing them to vote in the campaign’s final days. “Why bank your vote? We in the party must start utilizing mail-in and early voting,” she said. “Please raise your hand and you will pledge to vote early this election. Everybody, we got to do it.”)

CNBC
— This is what happens if you don’t pay your taxes on time. Late fees and interest are only the beginning. – Megan DeMatteo and Kelsey Neubauer (COMMENT: I worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year and I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $115,439-$123,136/year.)
https://www.cnbc.com/select/what-happens-when-you-dont-pay-taxes-on-time/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Levies and liens Within a few months, you should expect to receive letters from the IRS indicating how much you owe. These may be followed by collection notices or phone calls. Eventually, you may receive a Notice of Intent to Levy, a letter indicating the IRS is prepared to seize your assets to cover the amount due. It can claim your home, car, bank accounts or even a portion of your paycheck. After receiving the Notice of Intent, you have 30 days to pay your balance, appeal the levy or reach an agreement with the IRS before further action is taken. If you don’t pay within 10 days of receiving the notice, the failure-to-pay penalty increases to 1% per month. If you owe the IRS $10,000 or more, a lien may be placed on your home. According to the IRS website, “a lien is a legal claim against your property to secure payment of your tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.” The IRS will file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien “to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.” This may limit your ability to get credit, including refinancing your mortgage. If you sell your home, the IRS may claim a portion or all of the proceeds. Even declaring bankruptcy may not remove a tax lien. Other consequences for not paying taxes If you still have not settled your account, the State Department may eventually refuse to issue or renew your passport. If you have a “seriously delinquent tax debt” (considered $62,000 or more) your passport may even be revoked. The IRS has 10 years to collect unpaid taxes. While tax evasion and tax fraud are jailable offenses, you won’t go to prison for not having enough money to pay your tax bill. That’s why filing a return, even if you don’t include full payment, is important. How to pay your taxes over time If you’re concerned your tax bill may be steep, you can set up an installment plan with the IRS. These payment plans include interest and a non-payment penalty of up to 25% of the balance due. You can also apply for an offer in compromise (OIC), which is a request for the IRS to settle your tax bill for less than the amount that you owe. They’re not commonly approved — only about a third of OICs were accepted in 2022 — but the IRS will consider your income, expenses and other factors when reviewing your request.)

Granted, my parents provided with room and board all that time.)
https://www.newsweek.com/2024/02/16/americans-being-priced-out-their-love-affair-cars-1866374.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, car ownership has been a trademark of the American lifestyle, with vehicles becoming symbols of freedom, independence and even rebellion, as well as a necessity. . .Just 10 percent of new car listings are currently priced below $30,000, according to CoPilot. Things are not much better in the used car market, where only 28 percent of listings are currently priced below $20,000. According to an October report by Market Watch, Americans needed an annual income of at least $100,000 to afford a car, at least if they’re following standard budgeting advice, which says you shouldn’t spend more than 10 percent of your monthly income on car-related expenses. That means that more than 60 percent of American households cannot afford to buy a new car, based on Census data. For individuals, the numbers are even worse, with 82 percent of people below the $100,000 line.)

— Republican Party of Texas censures Speaker Dade Phelan – RONNIE MARLEY (COMMENT: Far too many Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO elected officials and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton not only reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, but they have taken far too many big adverse actions against me because I support those planks. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.aol.com/news/republican-party-texas-censures-speaker-232924174.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican Party of Texas has announced they’ve officially censured Representative Dade Phelan on Saturday, according to a release. Officials said they will be “imposing the full set of penalties allowed by the rules, for lack of fidelity to Republican principles and priorities.” According to a release, rule 44 of the Republican Party of Texas allows the party to censure elected officials who violate Republican Party of Texas principles and priorities three times or more in a given biennium. The censure of Phelan details five such instances on issues such as the impeachment of Ken Paxton, Democrat Committee Chairs, border security, and educational freedom. The release stated that the original censure resolution was passed by the Jasper County Republican Party with at least two-thirds support and required a three-fifths vote to pass the 64-member State Republican Executive Committee. The final vote was 55 in favor, four opposed, and four abstentions. . .Phelan is now the four elected official in the history of the Republican Party of Texas to be censured utilizing the Rule 44 censure option.)

But my IRS supervisor did decry the president that the transfer established. I had to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer.

— Someone in Chicago wonders whether employers value experience. Abrupt firing of accomplished sales rep seems horribly unfair — but is it illegal? – Ismael Pérez (COMMENT: According to my Democrat GAO superiors in September of 1997 when I was 49 years old, the following was WORTHLESS: a) my having been a CPA since 1979 and a licensed CPA since 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) since 1981, a Certified Fraud Examiner since 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager since 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor since 1996, and a Certified Forensic Accountant since 1997, b) my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, c) what I had learned earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) what I had learned passing the CIA examination in 1981. and e) what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,070-$110,020/year (GAO audits IRS). According to my Democrat IRS superiors in January of 1980 when I was 31 years old, the following was WORTHLESS: a) what I had learn working for IRS for almost 9 years, b) what I had learned passing the CPA examination in 1979, and c) what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. According to my Democrat Firestone Store superior in December of 1972 when I was 23 years old, the following was WORTHLESS: what I had learned taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola during 1972. According to my Democrat Firestone Store superior in February of 1971 when I was 22 years old, the following was WORTHLESS: a) what I had learned working for him for the previous 7 months and b) what I had learned earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. According to my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors in September of 1969 when I was 20 years old, the following was WORTHLESS: a) what I had learned delivering mail in Park Forest for almost 3 years and b) what I had learned taking courses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Most Republicans in new poll believe Trump’s legal cases are being handled ‘unfairly’ – Filip Timotija (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, members of juries are liberal, Democrat, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the worse that your “jury appeal” is, that is, the more likely that juries will rule against you: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Trump and I share all of the aforesaid demographics. My very bad jury appeal is why GAO was granted summary judgement in Diersen v. GAO.)

FORTUNE
— These Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employee MBAs – SYDNEY LAKE (COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, I started working for the Democrats who ran IRS. The employee manual that they gave me encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. Because of that, and notwithstanding the fact that IRS did not reimburse anything for tuition or books, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. Further, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But in 1978, because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat superiors outrageously disallowed the tuition and books that I had deducted on my 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977 income tax returns and outrageously argued that the courses were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, qualified me for a new trade or business, and were taken my me to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://fortune.com/education/articles/these-fortune-500-companies-will-help-pay-for-employees-mba/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average cost of earning an MBA ranges from about $60,000 to more than $200,000, so financial aid can be a welcome benefit for those people seeking a graduate business degree. And here’s some good news: Many Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employees’ MBA degrees, whether it’s a full sponsorship, tuition reimbursement, or a guaranteed annual contribution directly to the university you attend. Some companies even have partnerships with universities that offer specialized MBA programs or tuition discounts.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— In 1870, a Black woman sued her enslaver for reparations and won. – Christine Jean-Baptiste (COMMENT: Were any of your ancestors enslavers? My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I benefitted tremendously from slavery, and that therefore, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action and DEI big time. My critics/opponents have always stressed that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they were never in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone. I stress that if I had benefitted from slavery, I would not have had to work my way through college.)

— Elon Musk Slams US Immigration Policy, Highlights Mother’s Struggles. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis.
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/elon-musk-slams-us-immigration-policy-highlights-mothers-struggles-4997224
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Billionaire Elon Musk took to social media to voice his concerns about the economic implications of illegal immigration, adding his criticism to the ongoing debate surrounding the Joe Biden administration’s approach to an alleged border crisis. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis. “A few other things you probably don’t know: illegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver’s licenses, free healthcare (California & New York) and in-state college tuition. What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn’t pay taxes or do jury duty?” he wrote. “If you’re wondering why housing is so expensive, this is a major contributor,” he added. With housing prices reaching record highs in November and mortgage rates near two-decade highs due to the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation, the US real estate market is facing challenges, a Fox News report claims. Homebuyers are struggling, and renters are experiencing a surge in financial burdens, the report adds. Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies revealed that in 2022, an unprecedented 22.4 million American renters were considered “cost burdened” by their monthly housing payments. Renters are classified as “burdened” if they spend more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, and this staggering number represents roughly half of all US tenants. Born and raised in South Africa, Musk moved to Canada at the age of 18 before becoming a US citizen. “I’m not anti-immigration; I’m just against a massive number of unvetted people flooding into America, which any rational person should be,” he said. The Tesla chief’s mother, Maye Musk, 75, in a separate post, highlighted her struggles of getting US citizenship, even claiming that it took her 12 years to become a US citizenship. “I couldn’t get US citizenship even though my father and grandmother were born in Minnesota, and my grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, was born in Illinois. I was born in Canada so it took me 12 years through visas, a green card, a lawyer, and numerous medical tests. That’s how hard it is,” her post read. Responding to it, Musk wrote, “Yeah, it was extremely difficult and took over a decade for me to get US citizenship.” US Senators on Sunday released a $20.2 billion legislation for border security and immigration policy changes agreed to by Democratic and Republican negotiators. The new law would give President Joe Biden the power to reject asylum seekers if illegal border crossings reached over 5,000 per week, news agency AFP reported.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2832163/history-taylor-swift-political-involvement-resurface-2024/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Swift endorsed her first Democratic candidates in October: Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives from her home state of Tennessee. She also knocked now-Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who defeated Bredesen in the general election. Cooper won reelection that year. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. “I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” she added. 2019 The Lover star vocally supported the Equality Act, and in 2019, she began Pride Month by writing an open letter to then-Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) encouraging him to vote in favor of the bill. “While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office,” Swift said in a release posted to X, called Twitter at the time. “Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change.” She also included the letter she wrote to Alexander in her post, pointing to his support of a resolution honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. “This was a positive step 100 years ago and I hope we can all continue to put aside partisan affiliations when it comes to matters of basic human rights,” Swift wrote, referring to the amendment. She also created a petition on change.org to urge the Senate to pass the Equality Act.)

They will keep trying to disqualify Trump — at least until they get a final ruling out of the Supreme Court. 4. If all else fails, I fear the deep state will try to assassinate Trump. They really are that evil. 5. And if all that fails, Biden will drop out of the race for health reasons, and Democrats will choose Michelle Obama as their 2024 presidential nominee. I’m no Johnny-come-lately to this prediction. I made it in print a year ago — on Jan. 22, 2023. The only issue here is, does Michelle want it? If not, they’ll either replace Biden with California Gov. Gavin Newsom or stick with Biden but double down on the other 10 planks in this column to rig the election against Trump. 6. In conjunction with all the above, Democrats will try their best to start World War III as both a WMD (weapon of mass distraction) and to stir up patriotism for the incumbent Democrat president. 7. Democrats could cancel the election with the country paralyzed by waves of deadly terror attacks (with terrorists that Biden waved in with his open borders) or an EMP attack that cripples our water, sewage, electric grid and infrastructure. 8. China will invade Taiwan this year. China needs to move before the election — while the brain-dead man with dementia and diapers, who is bribed and blackmailed by China, is still in control. 9. The COVID pandemic was just a trial run. Another pandemic could strike America in the run-up to the election — but this one will be far deadlier. This will result in panic, hysteria and a 100% mail-in ballot election (the perfect recipe for voter fraud). 10. Black Lives Matter was just a trial run. Expect mass anarchy in the run-up to the election, but much larger than the BLM demonstrations in the summer of 2020 — this time involving not just disgruntled black rioters and looters but millions of illegal aliens combined with pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protestors. 11. And most importantly, combine everything above with the same game plan from 2020: Mail-in ballots combined with no voter ID. Ballot harvesting (a crime everywhere else in the world but America). Unsupervised ballot drop boxes. No signature match on ballots. Billions of dollars spent on “election integrity” by globalist billionaires — with the real purpose to rig the turnout in favor of Democrats. Social media rigging the election by censoring the news feed to allow only fake positive news about Democrats and only negative stories about Trump. And of course, the simplest scam of all: Keep counting votes for days after election night until Democrats win. Count on much of that, or all of that, happening over the next nine months.)

— The ‘Harvard of Christian schools’ slams Fox News op/ed calling the college ‘woke’ Wheaton College is calling out a Fox News opinion piece by freelancer Tim Scheiderer, saying ‘it failed to meet minimal standards for journalistic accuracy.’ – Amaris Encinas
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/01/wheaton-college-fox-news-opinion-woke/72370641007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A college known as the “Harvard of Christian schools” is clapping back at a Fox News opinion piece that claims the school has gone “woke” just like Harvard University. Wheaton College, a private Christian liberal arts school just outside Chicago, issued a statement Wednesday addressing the Fox News article, saying that they “remain committed to Christian service” and that the “claims made about the college are false or misleading.” Freelance writer Tim Scheiderer, who penned the Fox News op/ed, says that the school has begun to “mimic Harvard’s wokeness” by “banning biblical words, teaching critical race theory, and psychologizing gender identity issues.” “In the 19th century, Harvard was slowly, and permanently, transformed from a Christian university into a secular one,” Scheiderer writes. “At Wheaton, the biblical belief in only two sexes is being tainted. With this and the other shifts mentioned, it may seem like a slow drift. But a gentle tide can carry a boat far from its dock.” Wheaton College President Philip Ryken slammed the “incendiary” opinion piece, saying in a statement that it “failed to meet minimal standards for journalistic accuracy.” Here’s what we know. Who is Tim Scheiderer? Scheiderer, the author of the article, has no apparent affiliation with Wheaton College. He graduated from Bob Jones University, a private evangelical university in Greenville, South Carolina, with a B.A. in mass communications and media studies in 1999. He also has a “Master of Divinity” from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to his LinkedIn page. Scheiderer’s resumé also lists him as a founding board member of The Augustine Fellowship, a Christian Study Center at Georgetown University. He says on his website that he earned his “writing chops” working for ABC, Fox News and CNN. What else does the Fox News article say? Scheiderer writes that Wheaton College has slowly drifted away from traditional Christian values since the 2000s when the education department “commended the teachings of Marxists.” The college’s most “blatant offense against Christianity is the ban of certain biblical words that are key to the faith’s foundation,” stating that students have been discouraged from using words like “service” and “mankind.” He also calls out an endowed chair in Wheaton’s psychology program for expressing views on gender identity that Scheiderer says are “rooted in an anti-God philosophy.” Scheiderer concludes the article by asking: “Would Billy Graham, the most influential 20th-century evangelical, endorse his alma mater? How has Wheaton College responded? In his statement, Wheaton College’s president discouraged community members from “engaging further” with Scheiderer. The article, which Ryken says appeared to have been “cobbled from out-of-context items found on the Internet” is mischaracterizing since the author “does not name any sources or give any citations for his many contentions.” Ryken said that Scheiderer had reached out to the college’s marketing department a month ago, claiming that he was writing an article for the Wall Street Journal on a tight deadline. When the spokesperson questioned Scheiderer’s credentials, he told them that he was “actually a freelance writer attempting to pitch an idea to the Journal’s opinion section.” “A representative from the WSJ confirmed that Scheiderer was not an employee. Although the WSJ did not run his piece, evidently he was able to have it appear on a FOX News page,” Ryker noted. “Wheaton College remains fully committed to Christian service − which we embrace as ‘service’ in our very mission statement − to biblical orthodoxy and Christ-centered education, including in matters of human sexuality, gender identity, and race relations,” Ryken said. Ryker concludes the statement by pointing to the college’s institutional commitments website for “ accurate information about our convictions.”)

ABC7
— Taxpayers foot bill for relocating migrants who want to leave Chicago – Chuck Goudie and Barb Markoff, Christine Tressel, Tom Jones, Maggie Green and Adriana Aguilar
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-migrants-paying-for-migrant-crisis-texas/14373445/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s the secret side of Chicago’s migrant crisis. Some migrants who arrive here don’t want to stay. Some asylum-seekers coming to Chicago from the border, at a sizable cost to government agencies, are then going somewhere else. The ABC7 I-Team asked Illinois state officials for information on how many migrants are coming and going. An ABC7 data investigation reveals this double migration, the coming and going, is running up the tab for a crisis that already caught Illinois by surprise, and continues to stretch government resources and finances. . .The I-Team filed an open records request to find out how many migrants are leaving Illinois, what that costs and who’s paying? According to the Illinois Department of Human Services, migrant travel costs in the Chicago area, including people leaving by bus, plane and train, total more than $775,000. And when additional travel related expenses such as rideshares are factored in, it’s almost $850,000 of taxpayer money that has been spent on migrants moving out of Chicago. State officials say 4,327 migrants have now come and gone. That is more than 10% of the migrants sent to Chicago over the last year and a half. . .Catholic Charities has provided some of the logistical help in relocating migrants from Illinois. A spokesperson for Gov. JB Pritzker tells the I-Team that before leaving here, Illinois authorities make sure there is a friend or family member on the other end to receive the asylum-seekers, wherever they’re going. Records show many of the migrants leaving Illinois are going to New York, Florida and Georgia. And some are going back to Texas.)

DAILY HERALD
— House GOP is moving quickly to impeach Mayorkas as border security becomes top election issue – AP (COMMENT: Mayorkas is an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders. Charles Bowsher was an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders while he ran GAO 1981-1996. Bowsher ever-increasingly destroyed GAO and especially under Clinton 1993-1996 and under Gingrich 1995-1996. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Democrat and RINO budget cuts, Affirmative Action, DEI, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination to get rid of GAO’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. He got rid of GAO employees who had accounting degrees, were CPAs, did not have Ivy League degrees, and/or who he had not promoted into his Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year, by age 40. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

January 30, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders continue to flood America with their illegals. Their illegals will want/need/demand massive assistance for years, if not decades, if not forever. Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will not evict their illegals from their shelters unless/until a) you pay with your tax dollars to give them housing, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and/or b) you take them into your home and provide them with the aforesaid.

Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will ever-increasingly give more tax dollars to countries, townships, municipalities, and school districts that take in his illegals. But in the short run, will Pritzker symbolically a) house some illegals in his Chicago home and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and b) encourage/force other rich Chicagoans to do the same?

QUESTION: Which employees will Democrat and RINO leaders encourage/force employers to replace with illegals? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect it will be their employees who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, etc.

QUESTION: Which homeowners will Democrat and RINO leaders encourage/force to house their illegals and provide them with food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc.? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect it will be homeowners who own bigger homes, who have empty bedrooms, who have higher income, who have higher net worth, who have children, who have pets, who are older, who are female, are who are LGBTQ, etc.

QUESTION: But what about Democrats who are in need? ANSWER: Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will use your tax dollars to pay illegals to help Democrats who are in need, for example, help them take care of their children.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/city-of-chicago-rejects-permits-for-activists-to-protest-dnc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The city of Chicago rejected permits requested by a group of abortion and LGBTQ+ rights activists to organize a march in protest of the Democratic National Convention this summer. The coalition includes groups like Chicago for Abortion Rights, Stop Trans Genocide, Gay Liberation Network, Reproductive Transparency Now! and more. The DNC is scheduled for Monday, August 19 through Thursday, August 22. The group planned to hold a march Aug. 18, the day before the convention kicks off at Jane M. Byrne Plaza, previously known as Water Tower Park. The groups say, for years, Democrats have taken voters who care about reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights for granted. Organizers of the newly-formed “Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws: Coalition for Reproductive Justice and LGBTQ+ Liberation” will hold a press conference on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in front of 400 W. Superior Street. They plan to publicly appeal the city’s rejection of their march permit application.)

Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will not evict their illegals from their shelters until a) you pay with your tax dollars to give their illegals housing, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, education, etc. and/or b) you take their illegals into your home and provide them with the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Leave it alone,” Firchau said.” I can’t afford myself. Alright. I love this town. It’s a beautiful town. I’ve been blessed to be a carpenter in this town. I’ve worked under the most beautiful houses I’ve ever encountered. I’ve done it for forty years, and I’d like to see the high class homes and quality of our neighborhoods stay the same. This is our country, not theirs.” Another audience member questioned the restrictions or requirements for accessing the grant money and also emphasized the importance of monitoring incidents, public resources, and transportation in the settlement process. Over 34,000 illegal immigrants have landed in the state since mid-2022. Last fall Illinois allocated $42.5 million in grant monies for municipalities to house illegal immigrants. As of last fall Lake County, Elgin, Oak Park, Urbana and Chicago had received grant funds from the state to assist with housing and other needs. Overall the state has allocated $500 million for the care of illegal immigrants. “We know this unprecedented humanitarian crisis is going to be critical to discussions on budget and other important issues this session,” House Speaker Chris Welch said, according to Capitol News Illinois. However, the revelation from Senak is the first time the money has been linked to permanent resettlement efforts. The grant funding revelation comes a week after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson requested help from 21 suburban mayors who are part of the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. Burr Ridge’s Gary Grasso was one of 21 suburban mayors who Johnson requested help from. “He’s asking us all for support, calling out the federal government,” Grasso said.)

— Disneyland Posts Woke ‘Wheel Of Privilege’ In Employee Kitchen, Removes It After Daily Wire Inquiry. ‘Things like this make people feel unwelcome, destroying the magic,” employee tells The Daily Wire. – Ashe Schow•
https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-disneyland-posts-woke-wheel-of-privilege-in-employee-kitchen-removes-it-after-daily-wire-inquiry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Posters featuring a “wheel of power/privilege” were hung in employee spaces in Disneyland, instructing employees that being white, “cisgender male,” and even speaking English means you have “unearned” privilege that your “marginalized” coworkers do not, according to images obtained by The Daily Wire. The wheel featured for all employees to see has the word “power” in the middle, and is sectioned like a dart board, with certain traits fanning outward that are labeled “marginalized.” For example, being white, a “cisgender male,” owning property, and speaking English are all considered privileged, while being dark-skinned, transgender, homeless, and not speaking English are considered marginalized. In between the inner and outer circle – which would be considered not completely marginalized but not totally privileged either – are “cisgender women,” gay men, people with a high school education, and who learned English. Included with the wheel is a definition of “privilege,” stating that it is “unearned access or advantage granted to specific groups of people because of their membership in a social group.” “Privilege can be based off a variety of different social identities such as race, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, ability status, sexuality, age, education level, and more,” it continues. “Within the US, members of social groups that hold privileges (white, male, wealthy, able-bodied, etc.) have historically held dominance and power over targeted groups.” The poster also asks, “why should we accept that we have privileges?” It provides the following answer: “By accepting that we have privileges, we can see that not everyone sees the world from our perspective and that we have privileges in our life that have hindered our awareness of the world.”)

— The $400,000 Job That Doesn’t Require a College Degree. Walmart is giving store managers higher bonuses, stock grants as the job becomes more difficult in the e-commerce era. – Sarah Nassauer (COMMENT: In February of 1971, when I was 22 years old and had been the Retail Sales Manager of the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for 7 months, one reason why I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile was that advancement within Firestone seems far too slow. Other reasons included the store manager treated me like he wanted to get rid of me. He disapproved of my being a college graduate, draft avoider, former postal employee, Protestant, German American, Crete resident, and my ancestors having been in America since 1844. He refused to let me start working in the store until I passed a 2-week probationary period in the Hammond Indiana Firestone Store. He never would have hired me. Firestone’s District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to its Chicago Heights Store because I lived in Crete and I did not know that its manager disapproved of so many of my demographics.)

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson met with local mayors last Monday to discuss a new housing strategy for incoming migrants. The 28 shelters in the city are at capacity and Johnson says he will not open anymore.

I became eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45. They succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration is changing its strategy on managing the migrant crisis. – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Behind closed doors: The mayor met privately with small groups of aldermen Friday — keeping groups small avoids the pesky open meeting rules — to brief them on how the city will no longer set up new shelter space because the costs are too high. That means it won’t build industrial tents for migrants, either. Here’s a copy of the briefing report obtained by Playbook. New strategy: The city will work with churches and private individuals to find beds for asylum seekers. And as individuals leave any of the current shelters, beds will open for the next wave of migrants. And while the cold snap continues, the Harold Washington Library will serve as a warming center for some asylum seekers as well as for the already unhoused. The goal: Get asylum seekers into regular housing as soon as possible or send them back to the landing area, which is a shelter of sorts until beds open up in the current shelters. Getting folks out of shelters and into housing will be easier now that the state has staffed up case managers in nearly all of the city’s 28 shelters, the aldermen were told.)

— DeSantis Didn’t Get It, But Will Trump? – Arthur Schaper (COMMENT: Who will DeSantis supporters blame the most for his withdrawal? Will it me those who share the most demographics with Trump? Trump is conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, heterosexual, married, gun-owner, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four years later, it seems as though GOP voters did not remember, or rather do not want to remember all the failures, fallouts, and just plain folly of Year 2020. I don’t blame them, but I do have to reproach them for ignoring the incredible work that Governor DeSantis accomplished during that very difficult time.)

— Biden-Harris campaign says it has largest war chest of any Democratic candidate in history – SARAH FORTINSKY (COMMENT: I do not donate money to candidates or organizations, but I do offer them GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions free of charge. Those subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year. I should write a book about candidates and organizations that read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, but treat them as being worthless and therefore treat me as being worthless because I provide the newsletters free of charge.)

— Dead-End Jobs: The Grim Reality of Working in These 10 Professions – Tamila McDonald (COMMENT: (COMMENT: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. But the Democrats who ran the three federal agencies that I worked for a) wasted by career, b) never promoted me beyond GS-13 Step 10, currently $150,078/year, and c) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

What do you stress in defense of your mental fitness? I stress my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I put one together and send it out each and every morning. They contain links to around 90 articles. I ask my critics/opponents which of their operatives or dupes could/would do what I do? How much would they have to pay them to do what I do – $250,000/year, $500,000/year, $750,000/year, $1,000,000/year, or more? GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.)

The following harmed my ability to get straight A’s: a) my working part-time while I took classes at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966, UIC 1966-1968, and NIU 1969-1970, b) my working part-time and full-time while I took classes at Loyola in 1972, and c) my working full-time while I took classes at Loyola 1973-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, and IIT 1992-1997. The following harmed my ability to get better scores on the CPA examination in 1979: my working full-time for IRS.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How Nikki Haley’s Lean Years Led Her Into an Ethical Thicket – Sharon LaFraniere and Alexandra Berzon (COMMENT: If you sought a government office, what would your critics/opponents throw at you concerning your income? Mine would hint/imply/argue/shout: a) that the federal government grossly overpaid me, b) that IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, c) that GAO should have forced me to take a much bigger pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, and d) that GAO should not have promoted me in 1986. In my defense, I stress a) that I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) that I became a licensed CPA in 1981, and that I earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994 1996, and 1997.)

Claudine Gay’s resignation proved we are moving away from this harmful ideology. – Andy Kessler (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had fewer or no professional certifications, and/or d) who had no professional license.

They did everything that they could to demotivate me, to get rid of me. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat and they especially would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or if my ancestors had not been in America for a long time. What they did was political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

— How First Generation College Students View Success – Heather Wathington (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. But most significantly, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights after school and Saturdays during my junior and senior years 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between.)

Because I injured my right shoulder and arm, I am paying $40 per hour to high school students to shovel snow. Based on that, because I earned three master’s degrees, because I earned six professional certifications, because I earned a professional license, because I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, because 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 $97,079-$110,020/year, I should be paid at least $100/hour.)
