POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Cook County Dems’ Super Tuesday – SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization do not have an “open process.”)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2021/11/17/cook-county-dems-super-tuesday-495135
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There was pizza, beer and political drama last night as hundreds of Cook County Democrats gathered in restaurants and school classrooms on Chicago’s North Side to cast their ballots for candidates they want to endorse in 2022. Some wards are still counting, but Norwood Park and 38th Ward Democrats announced at about 10:30 p.m. that they’re endorsing Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois secretary of state, Tom Dart for another term as Cook County sheriff and Kari Steele for Cook County assessor — a surprise given she’s a South Sider competing against incumbent Fritz Kaegi. Official slating is Dec. 13 and 14. Talk about democracy at work. Last night’s pre-slating process was a far cry from the old days of backroom decision-making about who would appear on campaign literature and mailings. “Now we make decisions collectively and openly and everyone who’s involved in electing Democrats gets a say in the process,” Paul Rosenfeld, the 47th Ward Committeeman, told Playbook after leaving DePaul College Prep, where candidates spoke for up to five minutes and took questions from Democrats in the ward. Democrats from the 40th Ward were also in that slating. In all of the locations on the North Side, party members took a ballot before taking their seats and listening to the candidates. Everyone gave their elevator pitch about why they deserve an endorsement, including 14 water reclamation candidates — who gave an earful about flooding and “green infrastructure.” Even Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who doesn’t have a challenger for 2022, went through the process. There was energy in the crowd and plenty of chatter about issues. “It was good to be together again talking about politics,” a Democrat from the 41st Ward said after leaving Dino’s Pizzeria, a joint owned by County Commissioner Kevin Morrison’s family and where beer and thin slice pizza was served (on the North Side no less). Democrats from the 39th and 50th wards were also at Dino’s. The open process for slating candidates has been a gradual change. It has nothing to do with new leadership in the state Democratic Party, which is also calling for more transparency. It’s come about because the patronage system, which was common as recently as 10 years ago, has ended. Ward bosses can’t hand out jobs, so they are looking for new ways to engage Democrats and keep them excited for volunteering. Being part of the decision process does that. And the beer helps.)
— Republican state Rep. Seth Lewis is running for the Illinois Senate’s 24th District seat. Lewis currently represents the 45th House District. “I love being the voice in Springfield for the communities that I currently represent,” Lewis said in a statement. “After the implementation of the new legislative maps, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to continue serving our region on a greater scale by running for the state Senate. My goal as an elected official remains to make Illinois a place where people want to live, not to leave.” – SHIA KAPOS

Previously, they had kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211116/you-cannot-overfund-this-milton-township-officials-debate-mental-health-spending
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Township trustees and Supervisor John Monino tentatively agreed to raise property taxes by roughly $800,000 for the 708 mental health board, named for a state House resolution and created by a referendum vote last spring. A final decision on the tax levy is expected on Dec. 14. . .But township trustees were wary of allocating more money for the first grant cycle, though Monino said the board’s request wasn’t “out of line.” “I think that $1 million is a bit much right now,” said Trustee Jeff Castle, adding that he wanted to see what the board will do next year with the township funding. Trustees gave preliminary approval to a tax increase that would cost the owner of a home with an assessed value of $128,444 — the average in Milton Township — an estimated $17.60. The township covers all or parts of Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Lombard, Glendale Heights and Winfield. “It strikes the right balance between fiscal responsibility and providing for the needs of the community,” Trustee Dan Milinko said of the lower amount.)

— Wyoming GOP Votes to No Longer Recognize Rep. Cheney as a Republican – RICK MORAN (COMMENT: Constructively, the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party do not recognize me as being a member of their organizations because I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that they want to dump including traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

— FEBRUARY 27, 2017 FLASHBACK: 10 Times You Should Take a Pay Cut – SUZANNE LUCAS (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $34,956/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $62,439/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $20,361/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.)

They stressed the 4-page article about us in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue in which we stated our intent to have children and they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my wife and I had lied.

Further, my parents were 100% German national origin. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most because of the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)

He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because he had brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, his doctors discouraged him from going to college because that would cause him too much stress. He frequently said his not having a college degree harmed his career opportunities. My mother never attended high school.)

Ever-increasingly, government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton voters comes from anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican sources. This year, those anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican sources did NOT report that that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs had stopped DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. Last year, they did NOT report that in June, it was Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who had great success in promoting LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton.)
https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/exploiting-the-local-news-desert,207894
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent years at least 1,400 local news publications, most of them digital, have begun to fill America’s large and growing local news desert. But are they really “greening” that desert by filling it with legitimate local news? Or are they just trying to exploit it financially and politically?)

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/november_2021/media_bias_voter_distrust_of_political_news_grows

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters don’t trust the political news they’re getting. That’s up from 43% in July. Just 33% now say they trust the political news they’re getting, down from 37% in July. Another 14% are not sure.)

AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Reparations. Who has paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations? I should write a book about those who have determined, are determining, and will determine who paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)

POLITICO
— FBI raid on Project Veritas founder’s home sparks questions about press freedom. The action against James O’Keefe has prompted concern about the Biden administration’s commitment to the First Amendment. – JOSH GERSTEIN (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I falsely claim to be a journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/13/raid-veritas-okeefe-biden-press-521307
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the center of the gathering legal storm is a pivotal question: Is O’Keefe a journalist in the eyes of the law? O’Keefe’s attorneys insist that despite his evident political bent and his unorthodox — sometimes deceptive — tactics, he qualifies as a journalist under a federal statute and Justice Department regulations aimed at sharply restricting the use of search warrants and similar steps against members of the media. Prosecutors insist they’ve complied with those requirements, but have thus far been cagey about whether or not they’re treating O’Keefe as a member of the press.)

THE HILL
— Can a new ‘anti-woke’ university make it financially? – RONALD L. TROWBRIDGE (COMMENT: Of course, employers that are the following will not hire University of Austin graduates: anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/581333-can-a-new-anti-woke-university-make-it-financially
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Nov. 8 the University of Austin in Texas came into being. It will grant undergraduate and master’s degrees and plans to purchase property, classroom buildings, labs, dormitories and related facilities, as well as hire faculty and staff. The price tag will of course be staggering. The university says it “will not factor race, gender, or class into admissions decisions, standing firmly against that sort of discrimination.” It will be “fiercely independent — financially, intellectually, and politically.” In sum, it will be anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, and more significantly, pro-free speech — unlike virtually every other university and college in the country.)

LIEB and NICHOLAS RICCARDI (COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat plants and the RINOs who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015. To get rid of me, they drew me into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives. I lost about 250 voters west of the Illinois Prairie Path or about half of my about 500 voters that I had since 1999 and gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road.

— Babylon Bee makes fun of the Left in newly released ‘Guide to Wokeness’ – Michael Gryboski (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being woke and champions of the oppressed. I should write a book about them. To paint me as being an oppressor, they stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, heterosexual, married, childless, non-dog owner, gun owner, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and have owned land in America since 1854, Crete resident 1948-1972, new car owner since 1966, real estate owner since 1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, etc.)
https://www.christianpost.com/books/babylon-bee-pokes-fun-at-the-left-in-new-guide-to-wokeness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The minds behind the popular Christian satire site The Babylon Bee have released a new book that pokes fun at the ideas and actions of those who identify as “woke.” The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness was released earlier this month as a satirical critique of woke ideology. The book was dedicated to communist dictator Joseph Stalin, whom it calls a “woke hero” and “champion of the oppressed proletariat.” The book promises to help readers “take your wokeness to the next level by canceling friends, breaking windows, and burning it all to the ground.” “Wokeness isn’t a private religion you can keep to yourself,” explains the introduction. “Once you see the world through woke eyes, you’ll never be the same, and you’ll never be able to stop telling your friends about your new beliefs. Kind of like when you join CrossFit or become vegan — or get an air fryer.” The guide defines “woke” as “[f]inding your identity not in objective reality, but in your feelings,” “[w]orshiping the planet because humanity is evil,” “[f]inding the racism, sexism, and hatred in everything” and “[b]rainwashing your kids to hate life and be miserable.” “Because you don’t want to raise a generation of happy, well-adjusted kids — that’s what NAZIS do,” the guide warns.)

FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL
— Tell Congress not to draft our daughters! (COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Biden plan to hire 80k IRS agents will backfire, letting wealthy dodge taxes, expert warns – Haris Alic (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who wasted my knowledge of IRS the most. 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 $85,935-$97,395/year. I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 Levels, currently $102-$109,001/year. I would focus on my Democrat IRS superiors, my Democrat GAO superiors, my Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives, and their staff members.)

— The RINO Traitors – Spencer Brown (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. RINOs reject many, if not most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. RINOs destroy conservatives, that is, RINOs destroy platform Republicans, that is, RINOs destroy the Republican Party. I should write a book about the biggest RINOs in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2000.)

COOPER (COMMENT: If you read the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO, you will conclude that not only Democrat politicians, but also RINO politicians want patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. RINO politicians in Illinois reject the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government.)

Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)

They do everything that they can to get rid of me because they did not tell me to do the following: a) send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, b) raise money from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005, c) oppose their gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, d) serve as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) serve as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) serve as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, g) serve as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, h) oppose their efforts to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) seek to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and j) serve as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.)

— Why Are People Really Quitting Their Jobs? – MARCEL SCHWANTES (COMMENT: I quit my Firestone Stores job in 1971 when I was 22 years old a) because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, b) because I saw my opportunities for advancement working for Firestone as being limited, c) because what I had learned earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 as being wasted, d) because the job did not really require a college degree – I was required to spent too much time installing tires on cars and pumping gasoline, and e) because my boss disapproved of the fact that I had avoided the draft, that I was Protestant, and that I was 100% German American – Firestone’s District office hired me – he never would have hired me. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer and that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

— Served without regret – James W. Anderson, Vietnam 1967-1968, Talladega, Alabama (COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997.)

Where were you during this era? Did you answer the call either as a volunteer or a draftee? Or were you one who chose to not serve, by either fleeing your country or having an affluent connection help you dodge your duty? Or maybe you chose to join a local National Guard unit to stay out of Vietnam?)

I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independents, and RINOs who despise if not hate Faith and Flag Conservatives.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— In 2018, Pritzker spent $171 million of his personal fortune to unseat Rauner. Griffin donated $22.5 million to Rauner for that race, and millions more in his 2014 run for governor. In 2020, Griffin spent nearly $54 million to defeat the graduated income tax measure that Pritzker spent $58 million to support. Griffin’s spokesman confirmed his boss will bankroll a challenge to Pritzker. The four Republicans so far in the June 28 primary are state Sen. Darren Bailey, former state Sen. Paul Schimpf, businessman Gary Rabine, and venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan. The big question mark: Will Reps. Adam Kinzinger or Rodney Davis throw their hat in the ring? Either of them would likely get Griffin’s nod. Not on the list is Todd Ricketts. He just stepped down as Republican National Committee finance chair, but a source close to the Cubs co-owner said his exit from the RNC was long planned and that he is not making a play for the governor’s mansion. Democrats might like the idea of Griffin in the midterm mix. A race between Pritzker and anyone Griffin backs could energize the top of the ticket.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Open book: Salary of Glenbard Township High School District 87 teacher Kathy Holmberg (COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the federal government overpaid me. In today’s dollars, GAO paid me $132,845/year in 1997, IRS paid me $97,395/year in 1980, and the Post Office paid me $17.93/hour in 1969. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. Since 1997, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, currently $54,864/year, is too generous. In my defense, my CSRS pension is dramatically less because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took many adverse actions against me before that. Further, my Social Security should be $6,570/year. But it is only $2,190/year because I get a CSRS pension.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Why Wokeness Will Fail – BRET STEPHENS (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to be woke is to be anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/social-justice-america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The problem with the allegation isn’t that it’s flatly wrong: America’s past is shot through with racism and, as Faulkner put it, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” But the allegation is also incomplete, distorted, ungenerous to former generations that advanced America’s promise, and untrue to the country most Americans know today. Wokeness operates as if there had been no civil rights movement, and that white Americans hadn’t been an integral part of it. It operates as if 60 years of affirmative action never happened, and that an ever-growing percentage of Black Americans don’t belong to the middle and upper class (and that they are, incidentally, concentrated in the American South). It operates as if we didn’t twice elect a Black president and recently bury a Black general as an American icon. It operates as if, in city after city, American police forces aren’t led by Black police chiefs and staffed by officers of diverse backgrounds. It operates as if white supremacy is still being systemically enforced, while ignoring the fact that a previously marginalized ethnic minority, namely Asian Americans, enjoys higher income levels than white Americans. Above all, Wokeness pretends that incidents such as George Floyd’s murder, which are national scandals, are actually national norms. They aren’t, despite current injustices. Most Americans, I suspect, not only sense the falseness of the allegation. They are, increasingly, insulted by it. The insult turns to injury when it comes to the solutions Wokeness prescribes, and in the way that it prescribes them. This doesn’t just mean efforts like “abolish the police” that are so baldly destructive that voters quickly sense their danger. It’s in subtler prescriptions, too.)

AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
— Democrats must confront their privilege – David Brooks (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrats and RINOs have had in taking over DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Their success was shown last year by their tremendous promotion of LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton. Their success was show this year by their stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/2021/11/09/brooks-democrats-must-confront-their-privilege/6337368001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Democratic Party’s core problems is that it still regards itself mainly as the party of the underdog. But as the information-age economy has matured, the Democratic Party has also become the party of the elite, especially on the cultural front. Democrats dominate society’s culture generators: the elite universities, the elite media, the entertainment industry, the big tech companies, the thriving elite places like Manhattan, San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2020, Joe Biden won roughly one-sixth of the nation’s counties, but together those counties generate roughly 71% of the nation’s GDP. As the Democrats have become more culturally and economically dominant, many people at tippy-top private schools and super-expensive colleges have flamboyantly associated themselves with the oppressed. Thankfully, that has moved society to more aggressively pursue social and racial justice. Unfortunately, a tacit ideology — sometimes called wokeness — has been grafted on to this pursuit. It includes the notions that society is essentially a zone of conflict between oppressor and oppressed groups, that a person’s identity is predominantly about group identity and that slavery is the defining fact of American history. Because they dominate the cultural commanding heights, including some departments of education and the largest teachers unions, progressive views permeate schools, museums, movies and increasingly the public stances of large corporations. The Republican Party, like many right-populist parties across the Western world, has become a giant vessel of resistance against cultural, urban and information-age elites. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican who was just elected governor of Virginia, expressed that resistance when he said, “I believe parents should be in charge of their kids’ education.” When Democrats seem to be magnifying the education establishment’s control of the classroom and minimizing the role of parents, there’s going to be a reaction. Some of the reaction is pure racism, but a lot of it is pushback against elite domination and the tacit ideology. The results of last Tuesday’s elections show again that resistance against the elites can be a powerful force propelling Republicans to victory. In the final weeks leading up to Youngkin’s victory, education became one of the top issues for Virginia voters. The results also put the Donald Trump phenomenon in a new perspective. Trump was necessary to smash the old GOP and to turn the party into a vanguard of anti-elite resistance. But by 2020, with his moral degradation and all the rest, he was also holding back Republicans. If Republicans can find candidates who oppose the blue oligarchy but without too much Trumpian baggage, they can win over some former Biden voters in places like Virginia and New Jersey. Democrats would be wise to accept the fact that they have immense social and cultural power, and accept the responsibilities that entails by adopting what I’d call a Whole Nation Progressivism. America is ferociously divided on economic, regional, racial and creedal lines. The job of leaders is to stand above these divides and seek to heal them. The job of leaders is not to impose their values on everyone else; it is to defend a pluralistic order in which different communities can work out their own values.)

— Ballard High principal retaliated against student for questioning whether assignment was racist, investigation finds – Monica Velez (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors retaliated against me big time because in 1988 when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me bad job assignments, they gave me unfair performance expectations, they gave me unfair performance evaluations, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to take the early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
