CPAC announced the findings of the survey Sunday after four days of meetings in Washington, D.C. Each year CPAC organizes the nation’s most influential conservative conference, drawing major political and celebrity figures weighing in on policy issues and political races. The CPAC poll findings showed: 49% said Newsmax, when asked which network do you “trust the most.” Only 15% said the same about Fox News. 29% chose “none” of the options as a trusted outlet. Either CNN or MSNBC was the choice for 1% each. The survey was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates from Wednesday to Saturday — with a total of 1,478 conservatives participating. Participants appeared to be happy about Newsmax but were less sanguine about Big Tech platforms and their leaders. Some 55% of CPAC attendees singled out Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as the Big Tech CEO “doing the most to undermine America.” Google CEO Sundar Pichai came in second at 32% with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos at 5% and Apple’s Tim Cook at just 1%. The survey also asked participants what was the best way to combat “woke elites.” Almost a majority, 46%, said it would be to “give to grassroots efforts to mobilize conservatives.” Some 25% said donating “directly to candidates for Congress” was the best approach. Participants completed the survey using a unique six-digit PIN code to eliminate multiple or outside voting.) — With No Fed Fix, Migrant Influx Squeezing Big U.S. Cities – Fran Beyer https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/immigration-denver-chicago/2024/02/25/id/1154862/

Yesterday, I learned that because of “budget constraints,” Wheaton no longer final plows its cul-de-sacs unless individual snows are more than 2-inches deep. That means that if a cul-de-sac is hit with multiple individual snows in a row, but each of them are less than 2-inches, no final plowing is done no matter how high the snow is piled up in the middle of the cul-de-sac, along the curb, and in front of driveways. I have appealed that final plowing policy to Wheaton’s City Manager. My 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT has only a 6 1/2-inch ground clearance. Mountains of salt and hope for warm temperatures are not the answers. Per doctor’s orders, because on shoulder/arm injury, I am not supposed to shovel snow this winter.) https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-01-01-8902220015-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Snow and the cul-de-sac do not mix. The Plow Man had cometh, and as she looked at what he`d left behind, Drake recalled the time a plow operator scooped up neighbors` trash and unloaded it near her front lawn. ”Don`t buy a house on a cul-de-sac unless you want to put up with all that,” said the 45-year-old resident of west suburban Naperville. Last week`s heavy snow reminded thousands of people that they pay a price for living on quiet streets with privacy and gently sweeping curves that are like a snowball heaved at Chicago`s no-nonsense street grid. From Naperville, which has about 700 cul-de-sacs, to northwest suburban Schaumburg, which has about 535 of the dead-end, turn-around streets, the price is paid in destroyed sod, buried mailboxes and driveways that get clogged after there`s no place left for plows to put the snow. ”Mother Nature abhors a void,” said Steven Kaar, operations and maintenance manager for the Naperville Department of Transportation. ”Unfortunately, it`s Mr. Jones` driveway.” The reason for the mess is that the typical snow-clearing vehicle in Naperville, a small pickup truck, isn`t powerful enough to push heavy snow where operators want it to go. In fact, it takes 7 to 10 times longer to clear a cul-de-sac than a through street, according to Naperville officials. That`s bad news for suburban taxpayers, wherever they live. Cul-de-sacs are ”several times more expensive” to clear than regular streets, according to Naperville City Manager Ralph DeSantis. Heavy snow also slows Postal Service carriers. Just try reaching out of your Jeep and putting a letter in a snow-encased mailbox. ”I`ll try and deliver it (to the door),” said mailman Tom Stafford, 35, as he headed down a Naperville cul-de-sac. ”I`ve done that at least 20 times today. And I`m only about two-thirds of the way through the route.” Such are the disadvantages of streets where children can play without fear of through traffic and parents don`t have to contend with noise. Homes usually sell for a little more because of the privacy of cul-de-sacs. It also doesn`t hurt that the streets are called cul-de-sacs. To be sure, cul-de-sac is French for ”dead end.” But French adds a touch of class in the same way that English names like Devonshire give snob appeal to little subdivisions on the prairie. Yet that has not rescued the cul-de-sac from being ranked behind arterial streets, major collector streets and local side streets on the snow-clearance priority lists of suburban traffic engineers. The engineers, who make their rankings on the basis of which street handles the most traffic, regularly hear from armchair critics. ”They neglect roads like this,” said 20-year-old John Delgado, a transplanted Californian who was house-sitting on a cul-de-sac in Naperville last week. ”Out here`s where it really matters. . . . People have to be able to get out of their house to get on the main road.” Suburban officials like to deflect such criticism by pointing out that cul-de-sacs may be more manageable than Chicago`s side streets. In the city, cars often cram both sides of the side streets-and wind up covered with snow after plowing. In contrast, it`s illegal to park on the street during certain night hours in some suburbs. But some residents can`t get their cars out of the driveway after a heavy snow. That`s because plows are supposed to dump snow into ”parkways,” the city-owned strips that are wedged between the sidewalk and the curb. But the parkways are filled with mailboxes, street lights, trees and fireplugs. Those obstacles often force plows to push snow into driveways and sidewalks. ”It`s not intentional and it`s not malicious,” said Naperville`s Kaar, sounding like one who has been accused of such sins. ”Again, it`s the law of physics. . . . You come up to a void and the plow fills that void.” Another problem: Plows often go out at night and during snowstorms, when it`s difficult to see. As a result, they sometimes go over the curb and gouge sod. That some suburbs pay for replacing sod underlines the fact that cul-de-sac power is not taken lightly. Naperville, for example, has at least 17,000 residents who live on cul-de-sacs, according to Kaar. That`s more than 20 percent of the suburb`s 79,805 people. The snow-clearing problem also has forced suburbs to purchase something called the articulated end-loader-a hulking, bulldozer-like contraption that bends in the middle like large city buses. That feature allows the loader to make a complete, uninterrupted turn around cul-de-sacs. But unlike the weak pickup truck, the loader has the power-most of the time-to put snow where it should go, officials said. There`s just one problem: The end loaders cost $65,000 to $80,000 apiece- compared to $15,000 for a pickup truck. As a result, Naperville and Schaumburg have only a handful of them. The fact that end-loaders can travel at only 18 m.p.h. also brings complaints from residents who think it takes too long to clear their streets. But residents like Diane Drake aren`t leaving their cul-de-sacs-not because of an inconvenience that strikes a few times a year. ”I wouldn`t move to a regular street,” Drake said. ”This is pretty good.

He has proposed a plan to connect willing local residents with asylum-seekers requiring shelter. McBroom discussed the concept of compiling a list of Naperville households willing to host these newcomers at a recent city council meeting, as per the Chicago Tribune. While there seems to be a split among city officials, the proposal has garnered some backing. This has prompted staff to explore the viability of a grassroots hosting program, leveraging the city’s affluence as a refuge for those in need. “We do have a very affluent community. A lot of big homes,” McBroom highlighted the potential in Naperville for private citizens to fill the gap where government funds may fall short, according to the same Tribune report. Following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s move to relocate over 30,000 migrants to the Chicago area, including collar counties like Naperville due to logistical changes, McBroom’s initiative emerges. While still in the early stages, this plan could provide a direct means of assistance to these individuals, many of whom encounter harsh temperatures and resource shortages upon their arrival. “I’m hearing stories about little kids at train stations without coats on,” McBroom said, painting a grim picture of the migrants’ plight to the Chicago Tribune. Aligned with local initiatives, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker revealed a commitment of $17 million in state funds to assist municipalities in tackling the migrant crisis, as reported by the Daily Herald. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, granted $11 million from this fund, will distribute grants to communities displaying readiness to aid migrants with housing and food. While recognizing the intricacies of his proposal and addressing concerns regarding local schools and city management roles, McBroom maintains the necessity of the initiative in response to what he deems the “inhumane” current state of affairs. The implementation specifics of McBroom’s proposal remain unclear. The challenge extends beyond city council deliberations, encompassing logistics, legality, and ethical considerations. Nevertheless, the growing support for action in Naperville indicates that amidst the cold winds, there is a compassionate undercurrent eager to reshape the narrative for those stranded in the suburb’s embrace. McBroom shared with the Daily Herald, “My idea would be let’s find out … let’s find out who’s willing to help.”) — Naperville Councilman Proposes Unique Solution to Migrant Housing Crisis Daring Chardonnay Antifa.

My critics/opponents have always used against me my benefitting from the federal government’s more generous leave policies. As a part-time substitute carrier/clerk for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I worked many more hours because my coworkers took lots of sick leave and annual leave. My Civil Service Retirement System is higher because my more than a year of unused sick leave was credited as though I had worked that time.) https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/illinois-paid-leave-for-all-workers-act-is-now-in-effect-heres-what-is-says/3315038/

As of Monday morning, city officials said 14,717 asylum seekers were staying in the city’s 27 shelters, and more than half of those are coming up on the city’s 60-day limit for staying in shelters. . .It’s not clear how many applications have been submitted, but as of Dec. 29, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services had processed work permits and temporary protected status applications for only 1,480 new arrivals, according to city data obtained by CBS 2.

Penalties can vary for illegal weapons. Carrying or possessing unauthorized assault weapons could result in a misdemeanor, with one year in jail or a fine of up to $2,500.

It was not good for me when I graduated in August of 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. Potential employers viewed me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. My mother had never worked outside the home and she had never attended high school. Further, employers were under ever-increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, my GPA was not that high because instead of studying, I had worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got, it was from Firestone to be a Retail Store Sales Manager. I soon learned a) that my job did not really require a college degree, b) that I was not using what I had learned at NIU, c) that my duties frequently included pumping gasoline, mounting and balancing tires, changing oil and filters, installing batteries, delivering major appliances, etc., d) that advancement would be very slow, and e) my boss disapproved of my being a college graduate, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and Crete resident. I was assigned to his store by the Firestone Store district office.

SOUTHERN — Jefferson County Sheriff shares gun control concerns (FROM THE ARTICLE: “Anyone wishing to delay registering their firearms, waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court rule on this matter would be safe to do so.”) https://thesouthern.com/news/jefferson-county-sheriff-shares-gun-control-concerns/article_0507950e-8162-5f0b-98fe-c17ae972838e.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Bullard, however, took to social media ahead of the affidavit deadline to share that he believed the law was unconstitutional. In a question and answer style video posted on the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page Friday, Bullard said he had been receiving many concerned calls from gun owners who wanted to know if they should register their firearms as constitutional challenges to PICA carry on in state and federal courts. He directed people to the ISP website for registration and more information, before claiming, “Anyone wishing to delay registering their firearms, waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court rule on this matter would be safe to do so.” He continued, saying, “I would never advise anyone to knowingly violate the law, but the law has to be constitutionally valid on its face, and this gun ban is not,” citing previous Supreme Court cases he believed demonstrated his argument, included New York State Pistol and Rifle Association v. Bruen and D.C. v Heller. Bullard said he and other, unnamed Illinois sheriffs who oppose the law “won’t enforce it” and “won’t support it in any way, shape, or form.” Bullard stated that he believed the best way to combat violent crime was “aggressive policing, investigations, prosecution, that is supported by sound sentencing decisions by our judges.”)
HOMETOWN REGISTER — IRS ready to test free-file program in 13 states (COMMENT: As long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax. In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me. Again, as long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax.) https://www.hometownregister.com/news/national/irs-ready-to-test-free-file-program-in-13-states/video_ed7538ca-7956-5d89-8384-a338dd22e8a4.html

BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS — December 31, 2023 Newsletter: The Sanctuary Problem https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/blog (FROM THE NEWSLETTER: Here are some important questions to ask your uncurious elected officials: 1. How many “newcomers” have entered your schools in the last two years and how does that compare to the previous five years? 2. It is against the law for landlords to ask about immigration status. Do you have any way of tracking how many illegals are renting in the community or being otherwise housed by non-profits? 3. How many illegals are using local food pantries, and are they having supply issues? 4. What hard benefits are illegals receiving? Debit cards, transport, housing support? 5. What is the usage and cost of services at medical facilities by illegals, and are the organizations getting paid for the services, or is it documented as charity care? 6. Is there a separate tracking system the public can see that shows incidents of any crimes committed by illegals, and if not, why not? 7. What are our community’s specific responses to the migrant issue? 8. For state officials – How much is this costing? Who is getting the contracts for all the support? Is there a daily tracker on the costs and numbers of illegals?)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE — Champaign County sheriff expects little change in light of new gun regulation – SAMUEL LISEC https://www.news-gazette.com/news/champaign-county-sheriff-expects-little-change-in-light-of-new-gun-regulation/article_2077db33-1e74-5b1c-86e1-1717a6a3db4d.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: But the law also allowed existing owners of assault-style firearms one year to register their guns with state police, with the aim of “ensuring that law enforcement knows the location of these weapons of war and who to hold accountable if they fall into the wrong hands,” a news release from the governor’s office said. Heuerman said he does not believe the Champaign County Sheriff’s office will play a large role in the rollout of the new requirement because it is unlikely that deputies will regularly encounter people whose sole crime they are committing is failing to register their regulated firearms. The statute does not require deputies go door to door to check if people have assault-style weapons guns in their home, the sheriff said. When deputies do come into contact with individuals who are possessing a gun unlawfully, it is typically because that person is using it recklessly or threateningly. In the latter instance, HB 5471 could serve as another means of prosecution for the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s office, he said. In a scenario in which a deputy encounters a person who has neglected to register their firearm, and they are not possessing or wielding it in any other unlawful way, Heuerman said he does not see a criminal arrest likely taking place in those circumstances, but rather a conversation taking place in which that person is reminded they are registered to their firearm with ISP. But if deputies were to make contact with that person who has failed to register their assault-style firearm in subsequent encounters, then the sheriff’s office could escalate their involvement in making an arrest and report for the State’s Attorney’s office to follow up on. “I don’t want to suggest people don’t do it, that’s not what I’m saying. The law is the law,” Heuerman said. “But I just don’t think the frequency is going to be there where we’re running into people violating the statute intentionally without maliciously using that weapon in some way.”)

WESTERN JOURNAL — DEI Looks to Be on Its Deathbed After Woke Giants Announce Slashes to Diversity Budgets – Samantha Chang (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, Democrats and RINOs have spent many trillions of dollars on Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on race and gender based preference giving, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on reparations, that is, they have spent many trillions of dollars on patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?”) — FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam.

SPIKED — ‘Diversity’ just means discrimination. Aviva’s CEO has unwittingly revealed the backwardness of the ‘DEI’ agenda. – ALKA SEHGAL CUTHBERT (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote diversity, that is, they want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, parents, veterans, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.) https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/12/21/diversity-just-means-discrimination/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, has revealed that no white males can be recruited to senior posts without her say-so. Speaking last week at a Treasury Select Committee hearing on sexism in the finance industry, Blanc said that there can be ‘no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer’. It was an admission that revealed a lot about the impact of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda on employment and public life more broadly. Thanks to DEI, it is now acceptable for a CEO to state that she will subject ‘non-diverse’ candidates – a coded reference to white males – to extra scrutiny. Which sounds very much like discrimination to me. This captures the through-the-looking-glass logic of DEI, a logic that menaces every principle of fairness and equality. After all, a fair approach to recruitment would ensure that vacancies are widely advertised so as to broaden the pool of applicants. That way, an organization can maximize its chances of finding the best applicant with the best set of skills and talents for the role advertised.)

The law doesn’t take effect until January 1st, 2024 so there is no reason to do it now. Especially while we have the lawsuit out there, hoping it to be unconstitutional,” explains, 90th District Rep. John Cabello. “People are saying it’s going to be overturned. No one knows what the Supreme Court is going to do. I’m a lawyer, I’ve been a lawyer for decades, don’t count on the Supreme Court to protect you,” says 65th District Representative Dave Vella. He says he is worried the low registration rate could be because people may not be aware of the registration requirement. “I don’t want law abiding citizens, for instance, calling saying my house was burglarized but not calling the police because they are scared of being in possession of assault weapons, and that’s kind of why I’m trying to help as much as I can,” he adds. Rep. Cabello is still pushing for 2nd amendment gun rights. “There is a reason that citizens of the US and the state of Illinois should be able to have these types of weapons, and it’s for the protection of their family,” says Cabello.)

Why aren’t Democrats taking illegals into their homes instead of forcing them to live in tents? Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.) https://westcooknews.com/stories/650372793-oak-parker-calls-for-donations-to-help-for-illegal-immigrant-new-neighbors-living-in-village (FROM THE ARTICLE: Overwhelmed by the growing number of people in need, she emphasized the dire situation and the need for more tents and tarps as winter approaches, while also seeking support from faith communities to provide shelter and respite during the day. The result is a growing tent city located across from the Oak Park Police station located at 123 Madison St. “Thank you all for continuing to be so supportive of the humanitarian crisis that is going on. What is happening at the police station requires FEMA level support, but we are not getting it so here I am yet again, begging for help,” Biehler Desai said on Facebook. “Since the last time I posted just a few days ago we went thru nearly all 100 tents that were donated. Currently at Station 15 on Madison there are 140 people with 30 more in route as I type. There are 40 children, many sleeping outside in tents. WE NEED MORE TENTS AND TARPS (the tents do no good without the tarps). Every police station in the entire city is overflowing with more on the way.” “I know many of you have already bought one or more and for that I am very grateful. Please share with your friends and family so that we can get these much needed tents. If you have a connection with a faith community that would consider opening their doors for our new neighbors please ask them. We are reaching out to many churches to try and get some respite during the day so people do not have to be out in this weather. A big thank you to St Catherine/St Lucy who have been providing this along with a lot of other services 2x a week since this crisis began.” “This is the time we all have to step up, again and again and again. I thank you in advance for continuing to step up. The situation really is very dire.” “Here we go again with a new wish list for more desperately needed tents and tarps.” The illegal immigrant crisis has resulted in police stations overflowing in Chicago. That overflow has made its way into the suburbs now as well. In a previous post Biehler Desai said a bus showed up and dropped off those who are now sleeping outside. “Just hours ago, a bus arrived at the station with 20 plus people and there is literally no room. So, our new friends are now in the parking lot across the street from the station,” Biehler Desai said on Facebook. Biehler Desai is a registered nurse working at Advocate Health Care. She is taking the donations at her historic 2,461 square foot three bedroom, three bathroom located at 1140 N. Euclid Ave. in Oak Park.)
