SHAW LOCAL
— Democrats say “Bill requiring schools to teach Native American history heads to Illinois Senate floor. Measure passed House last month.” Because one of my coworkers was a Native American, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated him far better that they treated me even though he shared many of my bad demographics: White, male, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, CPAs, in a traditional marriage, homeowner, non-poor, Protestant, DuPage County resident, and someone whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. He differed from me in that he was younger than me, he had started his career with GAO, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he was to the left of me, and he never complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “Bailey talks to Trump about Bost’s seat.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/04/21/bailey-talks-to-trump-about-bosts-seat-00093239
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Darren Bailey, the former Republican candidate for governor, talked to former President Donald Trump on Wednesday about a potential run for Congress against Rep. Mike Bost in Illinois’ downstate 12th District. Bailey was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for a fundraiser for Louisiana governor candidate Jeff Landry and was able to buttonhole Trump, according to a person familiar with their meeting. It would be yuge: Bailey and Bost both lean right, so a primary would rally Republicans to the polls next year. There has been talk in Republican circles for months that Bailey might challenge the Republican congressman from Murphysboro. Bost is girding for a fight. He raised nearly $414,000 in the past quarter ending in March, according to Federal Election Committee reports. It’s a huge amount for Bost, who has had next to no primary competition since he took office in 2015. Bailey’s story: He’s a former state representative and state senator who won the GOP gubernatorial primary in 2022 after Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association spent millions to paint him as an extremist opposed to abortion. The former president also endorsed Bailey. That rallied the right in the GOP primary, leaving Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, a moderate Republican, in the dust. In the General Election, Pritzker continued to hammer Bailey, saying he wasn’t a fit for Illinois. Bailey, meanwhile, tried, unsuccessfully, to link Pritzker to Chicago’s crime problems, though he says Democrats’ mail-in ballot efforts ultimately did him in. Pritzker won 55 percent to 42 percent.)

What about taking the best job that you can get while you are in high school like I did? How many of today’s teenagers do what I did? I washed dishes four evenings a week and Saturdays for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer of 1965 in between. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have all made it very clear that they never took bad jobs like I did. Either they did not have to take any jobs because their parents had lots of money or, if they did take jobs, they were good jobs.)

Those who vote for Democrats need/want tremendous government assistance, lack education and/or job skills, and/or have financial, health, and/or other problems and are minority, female, younger, and/or LGBTQ.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Republican Puchalski donates to Conroy (COMMENT: Your political donations say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/641713218-republican-puchalski-donates-to-conroy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Donald Puchalski donated $500 to progressive Democratic DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy. Puchalski, of Addison, was a DuPage County Board member but lost in the fall 2022 election as an incumbent. He previously held a 1st District seat. The 68-year-old attorney had been a member of the DuPage County Board since 2005 when he was appointed to the public body. When running for re-election to the slot in 2022 he called for a need “to be conservative in spending” and suggested DuPage County keep “partisan politics off the board floor.” Puchalski’s former seat was from a traditionally conservative area of the county and included includes Bensenville, Wood Dale and parts of Elmhurst and Bloomingdale. His law firm, the Law Offices of Donald E. Puchalski focuses on immigration issues and domestic relations. He was previously a trustee for Addison Township, a member of the Addison Police Pension Board and a Republican precinct committeeman. “I think every government has to live within their means, and I think DuPage government has been very fiscally responsible and proactive,” Puchalski said when first appointed to the board in 2005. Puchalski and current GOP DuPage County Board member Sam Tornatore both donated to Conroy’s campaign at the same time after receiving financial support from GOP township organizations in Addison.)

— Anheuser-Busch accused of racist, discriminatory hiring policies under the ‘cloak of equity’ – Chris Donaldson (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their employees who are Republican.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/04/18/anheuser-busch-accused-of-racist-discriminatory-hiring-policies-under-the-cloak-of-equity-1350992/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The maker of Budweiser and Bud Light as well as a slew of other liquid libations is being sued by a conservative legal group over a program that ostensibly promotes diversity in hiring in terms of women and minorities but is discriminatory toward white and Asian Americans in pursuit of equity, a racially exclusionary ideology that is pervasive in modern day Corporate America. In the federal civil rights complaint filed by America First Legal, which was founded by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the group requests that “the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) open a civil rights investigation of Anheuser-Busch’s systemic and discriminatory hiring, promotion, and job-training employment practices,” according to a news release posted on its website. “Under the cloak of ‘equity,’ woke companies like Anheuser-Busch proudly discriminate based on race, color, national origin, and sex in their employment practices,” the statement reads. “For example, Anheuser-Busch created a Leadership Accelerator Program that provides ‘formal mentorship, executive interaction, and leadership development curriculum for those who identify with historically underrepresented groups as they join our organization in a full-time capacity.’ Only specific individuals of specified races, colors, and national origins – notably excluding White and Asian Americans – are invited to apply.”)

Overwhelmingly, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me had spouses who had little or no income.)

Why won’t they let Jessica Bates adopt? Because she, as a practicing Christian, refuses to submit to gay and transgender ideologies. Bates’s complaint is worth reading for anyone concerned about religious freedom. According to her complaint, Bates “initially progressed through the application process without any problems” until ideological insanity reared its ugly head.)

— When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Threatens Lives – HEATHER MAC DONALD
https://www.newsweek.com/when-race-trumps-merit-how-pursuit-equity-threatens-lives-opinion-1794872
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And so medical schools and medical societies are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession. As with all disparate impact analyses, that demolition of standards rests on an a priori truth: that there is no academic skills gap between whites and Asians, on the one hand, and blacks and Hispanics, on the other. Therefore, any test or evaluation on which blacks and Hispanics score worse than whites and Asians is biased and should be eliminated.)
— Democrats say “Bud Light Boycott Tears Republicans Apart.” I should write a book about those who continue to boycott me. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research against me, against conservatives, against platform Republicans, and against all Republicans.

ECONOMIST
— Artificial intelligence is reaching behind newspaper paywalls. Publishers long accused tech firms of profiting from their content. Now they have a point. (COMMENT: www.gopillinois.com has never been paywalled and it never will be. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have always been free and free of advertising and donation requests and they always will be. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been beyond furious about that. They have always been beyond furious that since 2000 that I have had the time, money, ability, experience, and motivation to put together and send out the newsletters free of charge and without any advertising or donation requests and to post copies of them on www.gopillinois.com . I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge that “Loop shooting: 2 teens shot near Millennium Park as large crowds gather downtown. Cell phone video shows group jumping on vehicle along Michigan Avenue earlier Saturday.” Under the Democrats, this will only get worse and worse and worse. I lived in an Outer Drive East condo next to Millennium Park 1974-1978. I worked for IRS in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997. I took graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and walked to/from classes on Michigan Avenue sidewalks. I took graduate evening accounting courses at DePul 1976-1980 and walked to/from classes 1976-1978 through what is now Millennium Park. I took graduate evening finance courses at IIT just west of the Loop 1992-1997.

The Republican Party platform is conservative.

NEW AMERICAN
— Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-lite, if not anti-conservative, if not conservative-haters. They do little or nothing to defend or advance the following planks in the Republican Party platform, if not work against the following planks: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). They do little or nothing to oppose the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT. 1619, BLM, reparations, and/or wokeism/wokeness, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

If there had been as many immigrants when I was young, they would gave gotten the jobs that I got. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/15/us/where-immigrants-come-from-cec/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The US is home to more immigrants than any other country – more than 45 million people, according to the latest Census estimates. That’s 13.6% of the US population, about the same as it was a century ago. But over the years, we’ve seen significant shifts in where immigrants to the US come from, and where they end up once they get here. . .Mexicans represent the largest group of immigrants living in the United States. That’s been true since 1980, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. And the Mexico-US route is the largest migration corridor in the world. . .Looking only at the population of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, the list of the top countries of origin shifts slightly. A Department of Homeland Security report in 2021 estimated that the top six countries of origin for undocumented immigrants were Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Honduras and China.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “As the NRA meets in gun-friendly Indiana, new Illinois and federal laws aim to restrict weapons sales. But the next step must involve strengthening gun laws from coast to coast.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) run America and b) blame Republicans for gun violence instead of those who use guns illegally. What are the demographics of those who use guns illegally? What are the demographics of their victims?

— Democrats say “Illinois conservatives question Democrats’ convention choice.” Who are the conservative leaders in your municipality, in your township, in your county, and in Illinois? I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. In 2012, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in destroying TAPROOT. I should write a book about that.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-conservatives-question-democrats-convention-choice
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement, the Illinois General Assembly’s Freedom Caucus, which represents the Legislature’s most conservative members, questioned how the city can serve as the backdrop for a presidential candidate who has to run nationally. The seven-member group of state representatives focused on crime. “We would hope the Democrats coming to Chicago could learn a lesson about how not to govern but we are not holding our breath,” the caucus said in a statement. “The selection of Chicago, which just elected another soft-on-crime mayor, as the site for the 2024 Democratic National Convention speaks volumes about where the party is on the issue of crime.” The statement went on to praise, of all people, Bill Clinton, the last presidential candidate to be nominated at a Chicago convention, in 1996. “Democrats danced the Macarena at the convention as they celebrated the nomination of crime-fighter Bill Clinton, who made public safety the centerpiece of his 1996 campaign,” the caucus said. “When Democrats gather in Chicago in 2024, they will be facing the hard truth that Bill Clinton’s centrist policies no longer have the support of the majority of Democrats.” “New Democrat” Clinton, indeed, was more of a centrist than the current president, Joe Biden. But last time I checked, Republicans led by their conservative wing were busy trashing Clinton and his wife, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as being tarnished and unfit to lead America. Neither Mayor Lori Lightfoot nor Gov. J.B. Pritzker had any immediate response to the statement.)

AMERICAN CONSERVATVE
— Think Twice Before Firing – John Hirschauer (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors did not have to think twice before they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They knew that I would sue and that I would lose. They knew that Democrats and RINOs controlled the courts. They knew that I had no “jury appeal” because my demographics were terrible: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, childless, draft-avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives would not come to my defense: They knew that with my losing in court, they could argue both a) that they discriminated against me because that was exactly what Congress wanted they to do with their employees who shared my demographics and/or b) that they never discriminated against me and that all the many adverse actions that they took against me were justified because I was an extremely “bad person.”)

— Democrats say “DeSantis Signs Six-Week Abortion Ban in Florida.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/us/florida-six-week-abortion-ban.html
— Democrats ask “Has Affirmative Action Affected Your Life?” and say “We Want to Know.” In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and up-or-out and budget cuts and my opposition to political affiliation, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to take many adverse actions against me. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, never promoted me beyond GS-12, and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $21.863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/us/affirmative-action-callout.html
— Democrats say “DeSantis Allies Pressure Florida Lawmakers Against Endorsing Trump.” Since 2001, Jim Ryan supporters, their operatives, and their dupes have done everything that they could to destroy me because I ran Pat O’Malley gubernatorial primary campaign in Milton Township in the 2002 . They ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and/or condemn what I did to help elect Ryan after he won the primary. They continue to blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Ryan losing to Blagojevich. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the many adverse actions that they have taken against me and continue to take against me.

AMAC
— Exposing Biden’s Radical Government-Wide “Equity” Plans – B.C. Brutus (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use the federal government a) to take opportunities and money away from those who have demographics that vote for Republicans (heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, gun-owners, in traditional marriages, homeowners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time) and b) to give those opportunities and that money to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats (LGBTQ, liberal, minority, female, younger, poor, not in traditional marriages, renters, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time).)
https://amac.us/exposing-bidens-radical-government-wide-equity-plans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this year, President Joe Biden signed another “racial equity” executive order mandating that every federal agency create a so-called “equity action plan” to “remove barriers for underserved communities.” Despite the benign-sounding language, however, the resulting “action plans” have made clear once again that the left’s “equity” agenda is antithetical to the principle of equality and effectively amounts to state-sponsored discrimination. In short, “promoting equity” is the left’s euphemism for using government or institutional power to manufacture equal outcomes across so-called “underrepresented communities.” Rather than creating equality of opportunity and allowing individuals to achieve success on their own merit, the “equity” doctrine says that everything from jobs to government benefits must be distributed in order to ensure everyone achieves the same outcome. If the concept sounds radical, that’s because it is – so radical, in fact, that even avowed “democratic-socialist” Senator Bernie Sanders voiced tacit opposition to it during an interview with liberal talk show host Bill Maher last month. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has been obsessed with equity since day one. Just hours after taking office, President Biden issued an executive order on “advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.” The order specifically mandates, “The head of each agency, or designee,” must “within 6 months of the date of this order… deliver a report to the President describing the best practices” to advance equity. In total, 92 agencies submitted such a report last year. While it went largely unnoticed by the media, the content of those reports was truly terrifying for Americans who believe that the government should not treat people differently based on race. Take, for example, the IRS’s report, which was released in October 2021. The document makes reference to “taxation equity,” raising the alarming possibility that the IRS – which just received funding for 87,000 new agents thanks to the “Inflation Reduction Act” – may soon move to make a person’s race, gender, or sexual orientation a determining factor in tax collection and enforcement. Current law does not allow the government to use demographic data from other government agencies in enforcement actions, but there are indications that the Biden IRS may move to change that. The Department of Transportation went a step further, promising to add “racial equity and barriers to opportunity as a consideration for awarding discretionary grants.” This plainly means that a grant applicant who is a person of color will be given preference over a white applicant purely because of their race. The Government Services Administration similarly pledged to “increase overall contract dollars awarded to underserved and disadvantaged communities.” The State Department equity plan specifically says that the agency will “prioritize engagements with diplomatic partners and individuals from underrepresented and underserved communities worldwide.” In other words, the Department admits it is conducting diplomacy in accordance with the left’s equity agenda, rather than to advance the best interests of the United States – a fact that should perhaps be unsurprising given the Biden administration’s numerous foreign policy fiascos. Amid mounting concerns about wokeness in the military driving down recruitment numbers, the Defense Department’s equity plan, released last April, emphasizes a “four-year strategic initiative” to promote equity “in the areas of recruitment and retention, promotion and development, and teaching and learning.” As yet more evidence of the disastrous consequences of implementing “equity” ideology through government actions, the Biden Department of Education equity plan touts the agency’s complete gutting of Title IX. The changes not only force radical gender ideology on the American public by hijacking the education system, they also reverses hard-won victories for women and girls by destroying female-only spaces and sports. Despite the path of destruction left in its wake, however, Biden was not content with just one equity executive order, and issued a second order on February 16 of this year. Although billions of taxpayer dollars had already been directed toward overhauling the entire federal bureaucracy in service of the left’s equity agenda, an effort that Biden describes as “embedding a focus on equity into the fabric of Federal policymaking,” the president insisted that it still was not enough. “Members of underserved communities still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation,” the order says. Therefore, Biden orders agencies to create an equity action plan every year – a burdensome mandate that will lead to more wasted time and money. The new executive order also calls on every federal department to create an “agency equity team” that will “coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and ensure that their respective agencies are delivering equitable outcomes for the American people.” In effect, these teams will act as “equity police” within government agencies, enforcing Biden’s equity mandate in order to advance the left’s mission of radical social transformation. The sprawling federal bureaucracy was largely ineffective and inefficient long before Joe Biden took office. Now, government agencies aren’t just incompetent, they’re actively working to dismantle core American values like equality – leading to disastrous outcomes for the taxpayers who fund those agencies in the process.)

— Ford Has High Hopes for Shedding Mustang’s Boomer Buyer Image – EILEEN FALKENBERG-HULL (COMMENT: I am a Boomer. I am 74 years old. I remember riding with one of my high school friends in his loaded red 1965 Mustang convertible that his father had bought him. Tuesday, I trading in my red 2016 Mustang V-6 for a new loaded red 2023 Mustang GT Premium coupe. SEE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFj9lDyOAo I did that in part because the changes for the 2024 model do not motivate me.)
https://www.newsweek.com/ford-has-high-hopes-shedding-mustangs-boomer-buyer-image-1784686
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Ford Mustang is a Boomer, but its maker is hoping that the latest iteration of the pony car will draw in buyers that weren’t alive when the car debuted. But, that doesn’t mean that the Ford team forgot about its core buyer database when developing the new, seventh-generation car. “We were able to take the heritage that is unmistakably Mustang, and bring it into the 21st century technology, performance, and appearance. The goals were to still not look backwards, but to stand on that foundation and look forward to bring it in. And, to bring it in in a way that would broaden the audience of Mustang,” Jim Owens, Ford’s Mustang marketing head told Newsweek. The average age of a new Mustang buyer is older than Ford would like it to be. The company is hoping to attract buyers who remember Fox Body design fondly from their childhoods, not those that were adults when those vehicles came to market. To appeal to younger generations, Ford locked into a completely new interior design for the 2024 Mustang, infusing more technology, with customization options available and gaming technology providing high-end graphics. The cockpit-like interior design positions the car’s screens toward the driver with the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster able to blend almost seamlessly into the 13.2-inch infotainment touch screen. “If you think of the younger generations who personalize their technology… We brought that in authentically to Mustang so that owners can actually personalize their performance, their appearance, make it their Mustang through this technology,” Owens said. Owens doesn’t just work on Mustang. He is a customer, with fifth- and sixth-generation models in his family. He’s a self-proclaimed V8 guy who loves to hear the growl of an engine. “I’m gonna sit in those cars, I’m gonna start it up the minute I get in there,” he said. The new Mustang changed him. “We went into the studio and I sat there for 50 minutes, literally playing with the interior technology to make it my Mustang before I wanted to hit the start button. That is one of the key things that is taking that into that 21st century technology, if you will, in bringing out the audiences that are younger and Mustang lovers.” The addition of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa and an available B&O sound system are designed to add to the youth appeal. The interior is the major talking point, but Owens is quick to point out that the exterior experience has been reimagined to appeal younger buyers too. Animated welcome lighting greets customers and when the door is opened, Mustang digital instrument cluster splash screens come to life. Remote Rev technology allows owners to rev their car’s engine from outside the vehicle, using the key fob. Though future autonomous cars are a sexy talking point, Owens believes that the Mustang buyer still wants the visceral drive experience the Ford offers, taking them away from the business world without leaving the technological world behind. “You know, it’s a vacation you take every day, right? You get in the car, you feel different at five o’clock or six o’clock whenever you leave work. This is a way to bring it to that younger audience that we’re extremely proud of,” he said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Republicans cannot govern Illinois without winning statewide. 2. Republicans cannot win statewide without winning the Chicago suburbs. [70% of Illinois voters live within eyesight of Willis Tower.] 3. We cannot win the suburbs without winning over swing voters. [Only 33% of Illinois voters are Republicans; 47% are Democrats; 20% are swing voters.] 4. Winning politics is about addition not subtraction. 5. The perfect is the enemy of the good, which is why someone who agrees with you 80% of the time is an ally not an enemy. 6. We cannot defeat our common foe – the Democrat socialists – unless we avoid attacking each other and unite to work together collectively. 7. Calling fellow Republicans names like RINOs, Never Trumpers, right-wingers,
extremists or ultra MAGAs violates the 11th Commandment and will not influence or persuade swing voters and their friends and families to vote Republican in the general election. [Democrats don’t call other Democrats DINOs, etc.] 8. With socialism on the march, good government can no longer be taken for granted; and we cannot defeat the socialists from the sidelines or by hoping someone else will do that for us. 9. Politics is a team sport. If you are not already in the game, get off the sidelines and help the Republican Party and our good candidates. 10. If you have time but no money, we need your time. If you have money but no time, we need your money. If you have neither time nor money, we need your prayers.)

— Democrats say “Creating More Racial Groups For Affirmative Action and Increasing Racial Animosity” and “OMB is seeking to expand racial categories used for affirmative action and other government benefits” and ask “Is this approach and racial division beneficial for America?” Democrats ever-increasingly use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeism/wokeness to get everyone to hate Republicans and especially those who are the following to hate Republicans: liberal, moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, not in a traditional marriage, those who have less money than others, those who have financial, health, and/or other problems, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, those who whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, citizens of foreign countries, criminals, boozers, gamblers, and stoners. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Leaders Threatening to Sue Illinois Review, Silence Leading Conservative News Publication in Blatant Attack on Freedom of the Press (COMMENT: I should write a book about all the efforts since 2000 a) to stop me from putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/04/sources-il-gop-leaders-threatening-to-sue-illinois-review-silence-leading-conservative-news-publication-in-blatant-attack-on-freedom-of-the-press.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And just recently, senior – and former IL GOP officials have sent representatives to try and intimidate the editor-in-chief and publisher of this publication – and threatening them with lawsuits in an attempt to silence and stop Illinois Review from publishing any more stories critical of the Republican Party of Illinois and its leaders – in a blatant and deliberate attack on First Amendment rights – and more specifically, Freedom of the Press. Censoring media outlets is typical in third world countries ruled by dictators – but for Republican Party of Illinois leaders to want to censor the leading conservative news publication in Illinois because they are bothered by the facts is both sad and alarming. Think about that – Republican leaders wanting to censure and silence a conservative Republican news publication. Only in Illinois. But sometimes, the truth hurts. Is it not a fact that IL GOP chair Don Tracy’s company, Dot Foods, where he is an owner, donated to presidential candidate Joe Biden in 2020? Is it not a fact that in 2002, Don Tracy ran in the Illinois primary for the 50th State Senate District as a Democrat? Is it not a fact that on September 4, 2020 – just months before his election as chair of the Illinois Republican Party, Tracy made a personal donation to Citizens for Judge Emily Sutton – a Democrat running for Circuit Court Judge in the 9th Judicial Circuit of Illinois? Is it not a fact that IL GOP national committeeman Richard Porter’s law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, where he is a senior partner, donated to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, during the height of the pandemic and lockdowns? Is it not a fact that Kirkland & Ellis also represents Pritzker family interests, including Pritzker Private Capital? Is it not a fact that the Republican Party of Illinois weaponized their postage discount to attack conservative candidates during the primary? It’s okay for the IL GOP to send out, and pay for mailers that are full of lies and deliberately deceive Republican voters – even photoshopping pictures of Gov. JB Pritzker and disgraced former Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan alongside conservative Republican candidates, to trick voters into thinking that they are not real Republicans – but it’s not okay for this publication to publish stories backed by evidence and facts. What a strange world. In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, Tracy, during a meeting with conservative leaders last July, admits that the Richard Irvin campaign for governor was allowed to use the IL GOP postage discount for mailers – a perk not afforded to other gubernatorial candidates during the primary. Tracy acknowledges the Irvin campaign’s use of the postage discount in the recording, but says the IL GOP was taking its “direction from the Senate Caucus and the House Caucus” – meaning he was re-directing the responsibility for that decision to then-Senate Republican leader Dan McConchie and then-House Republican leader Jim Durkin – the leaders of the Senate and House Caucuses. And Illinois Review is releasing, for the very first time, a portion of that exclusive audio where Tracy shifts the blame to Durkin and McConchie for deciding who had usage of the postage discount, stating, “And that goes, we take direction from the Senate Caucus and the House Caucus.” In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, IL GOP chair Don Tracy blames Durkin and McConchie for the Irvin campaign’s usage of the postage discount, saying the IL GOP took direction from “the Senate and the House Caucus.” Is it not a fact that Durkin lost seats in the House when he was Minority leader during the November election? Is it not a fact that Durkin voted with the Democrats to ban assault weapons? Is it not a fact that Durkin’s Western Springs home is up for sale? Is it not a fact that the chair of the IL GOP Finance Committee, Vince Kolber, votes in Wisconsin and Illinois? Is it not a fact that Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who is a close ally of the IL GOP leadership, harassed and intimidated female Fire District candidates, and then followed them in his car? Is it not a fact that Pekau routinely attacks and harasses constituents online? Is it not a fact that Pekau honored progressive, liberal Democrat and former US Rep. Marie Newman and awarded her with a Community Appreciation Award? Is it not a fact that Pekau rewards top campaign donors with city contracts? And while IL GOP officials are obsessed with wanting to sue Illinois Review and silence this publication, they remain silent on matters where a lawsuit would have been helpful. For example, Illinois Republican US Senate candidate Kathy Salvi’s name was left off the ballot in one county, and when local officials tried to fix the problem, Salvi responded by stating that their efforts did not “solve the most pressing problem of election integrity and transparency.” Salvi went on to say that voters have “been potentially disenfranchised” because of the mistake. And where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. Illinois Review recently learned that when a local Republican leader raised the alarm about a Democratic-controlled county clerk’s office playing games with assigning Republicans to serve as election judges, Tracy and IL GOP officials had a simple message for this concerned, local Republican leader who was desperate for some help and guidance: “Sorry, but we can’t help you.” This is deliberate election interference – and where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. And when Gov. Pritzker signed an unconstitutional assault weapons ban, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. When Gov. Pritzker abused his executive powers and shut down schools and businesses, and forced children to wear masks, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. When Gov. Pritzker extended his “supreme executive power” for the 40th time, declaring that the State of Illinois is still a disaster area from the effects of the pandemic – in a blatant abuse of power, where was the IL GOP with their lawsuit? They were silent. But now, when this publication shines light on the many problems with party leadership—this is what motivates them to run to the court and sue? If IL GOP leaders follow through on their threats and sue this publication, they’ll join the ranks of Russia, China and Iran. And here at home they’ll join the ranks of Twitter, before Elon Musk, Facebook, YouTube and allies of the Democratic Party – who routinely censor conservative voices. If there was ever a time to file a lawsuit – it would be against the Republican Party of Illinois for dereliction of duty. It’s no wonder why Republicans always lose in Illinois – their leaders are more concerned about taking out conservative Republicans and conservative news publications than they are about defeating Democrats and winning elections. “Silence conservative voices, but leave the Democrats alone” is the new motto of the Republican Party of Illinois.)

— Democrats say “Clarence Thomas’ lax ethics are a blow to the Supreme Court, and America.” Republicans should always keep in mind a) that Democrats ever-increasingly run America and b) that Democrats use everything that you do or that you do not do against you. That is especially true for Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. If you are a Republican, what have Democrats used against you the most? For me, it was a) my avoiding the Viet Nam War draft, b) my complaining about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and c) my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

DEPAULIA
— Democrats say “Youth voter turnout secures Johnson’s spot as mayor-elect.” Democrats ever-increasing crow about their success in getting young people to blame Republicans for their problems. What problems did you have when you were young? I could not run, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. My parents did not have enough money to buy me a car or to send me to college. My GPA and ACT score were not that great. I refused to become a Democrat and my superiors in the federal government were always under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. The Viet Nam War made those who shared my demographics and who avoided the draft or who did not avoid the draft very unpopular. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. The only job that I was offered after I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, Retail Sales Manager for the Chicago Heights Firestone store, did not really require a college degree and my advancement opportunities were very bleak. My Firestone store boss rudely fired me in early 1971 when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile then withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because of the aforesaid, my employment opportunities were even more bleak and I accepted a job offer from IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. In 1980, GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. To get rid of me because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, they took many adverse actions against me.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE: Democrats ever-increasingly crow about their success in defeating candidates in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton a) who promote the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, b) who oppose the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Anti-conservative and conservative-hating Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) ever-increasingly use the aforesaid defeats to get rid of conservatives, that is, to get rid of platform Republicans, that is, to get rid of Republicans, that is, to destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. Anticipate that at the 2024 IRP State Convention, anti-conservative and conservative-hating delegates will do everything that they can a) to officially strike the aforesaid planks from the IRP platform, b) to officially banish conservatives from the IRP, that is, c) to officially banish platform Republicans from the IRP, that is, d) to officially banish Republicans from the IRP, and e) to officially destroy the IRP.

STATELINE
— Democrats ask “Can you still buy an assault rifle in Illinois?”
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/can-you-still-buy-an-assault-rifle-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 720 ILCS 5/24-1.9 banned the “manufacture, possession, delivery, sale, and purchase of assault weapons, .50 caliber rifles, and .50 caliber cartridges.” This means that any weapon that falls into these categories are considered illegal to make or sell in the state after January 10. But what if an assault weapon was purchased before the legislation was passed? Would the resident be able to hold onto their weapon that was legal when they purchased it? The answer to this, it seems, is not so cut and dry. The legislation mentioned above states that it will be “unlawful for any person withing this State to knowingly possess an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge” beginning on Jan. 1, 2024. However, there is an exemption to this law. Illinois residents will be able to keep their assault rifles that they legally obtained before the law went into effect, but only if they follow certain requirements and limitations. For example, gun owners are required to submit an electronic endorsement affidavit form to the Illinois State Police by Oct. 1, 2023. This will include the gun’s make, model and serial number. The resident will also have to identify their Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) Card number. This will allow officials to see if the person is in lawful possession of the weapon and if they are able to have an exemption. Starting April 10, Illinois law will permit people to possess assault weapons and attachments on their private property only, according to Giffords Law Center. They will also be able to transport their weapon to another person’s private property, but only with the owner’s express permission. In addition, residents must make sure that the assault weapon is unloaded and enclosed in a case while it is being transported.)

They include my GAO superiors and supervisors.)
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/progressive-chicago-activists-push-billion-reparations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of University of Chicago students are continuing their campaign for their university to pay over $1 billion in reparations to Chicago’s South Side. University of Chicago Against Displacement (UCAD), an anti-gentrification student club, hosted an open house event on Thursday. “Come to our open house for some food, music, and good conversation!” the group’s Instagram post read. “This week we’ll be making and coloring our own zines.” According to University of Chicago’s library, a zine “is a self-published [fanzine] … produced in small print runs.” In February, the club had asked for $1 billion in reparations in grant funding for “long-term true affordable housing” from the university’s administration. The organization believes the money should be given to the city’s South Side over 20 years to prevent displacement. “The University exists as a legacy of chattel slavery,” UCAD’s Chicago Maroon op-ed read. “Moreover, it has been an active participant in segregation, redlining, and supporting developments that work to isolate the University from its neighbors and put Southsiders at risk of displacement from their homes.” The group also advocated for a $20 million annual fund for rental assistance, as well as expanding low-income housing and supporting STEM programs at local schools. “This is especially crucial at this moment as the Obama Center in Jackson Park increases land values and, in turn, rental prices,” UCAD wrote in a press release. “As residents deal with the economic hardships and an exacerbation of the homelessness crisis caused by COVID-19, these rent increases will only serve to further displace Southside residents,” it added. A University of Chicago spokesperson told Fox News Digital in February that the university aids Chicago’s South Side by supporting businesses, offering free college readiness programs and employing over 13,000 Chicago residents. UCAD and the University of Chicago did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for this story.)

VOCABULARY
— Trade-off (COMMENT: What are the biggest trade-offs in life that you have made?

One small example would be my trading in my 2016 Ford Mustang V-6 ( https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/2016/v6-coupe-2d/ ) for a 2023 Ford Mustang GT Premium ( https://www.edmunds.com/ford/mustang/ ) instead of taking the time to find a buyer who would pay me lots more for my car. According to Kelly Blue Book, my 2016 Ford Mustang should be worth $26,293 private sale and $25,334 trade-in, but the dealer offers only $21,000 or $4,334 less.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: The Democrats who run public education in Illinois say “School board elections see general pushback against conservatives.” For one of three Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 4-year term offices, Amy Erkenswick’s lead over Erik Hjerpe is now only 3 votes – 6,647 to 6,644. David Sohmer got 6,259 votes and Spencer Garett got 6,115 votes. In my precinct, Erkenswick and Sohmer each got 53 votes, Garrett got 45 votes, while Hjerpe got 108 votes, Dave Long got 126 votes, and Julie Kulovits got 142 votes. Of course, if Erkenswick loses to Hjerpe, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will blame that on me and on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In my defense, there are lots of factors. Breakthrough Ideas headquarters, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 headquarters, a middle school, and a grade school are all in my precinct. Also, LGBTQ-promoting churches are immediately north and south of my precinct. Also, in my opinion, Democrat realtors have been steering Democrats into my precinct for many decades. In my precinct, 204 of its 490 (42%) registered voters voted. But Democrat candidates got about two votes for every one vote that Republican candidates got.)

Once all the ballots are counted, “I hope we can focus on the real issues in our district,” said Julie Kulovits (who got 8,310 votes), who was also backed by the teachers union.)

For me, they include a) I have lived in Illinois since 1948 and my ancestors have lived in Illinois since 1844, b) I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, and c) Illinois does not tax retirement income. If you are retired, what factors keep you in your municipality? For me, they include a) the relative safety and prosperity in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County, b) Wheaton’s proximity to Central DuPage Hospital, c) selling pot and video gambling are not legal in Wheaton, d) I have been the Republican Precinct Committeeman for my precinct since 1999, e) my wife’s brother, one of his daughters, and their three children live in Naperville, f) we own the smallest unit in Iron Gate Motor Condos ( https://www.irongatemotorcondos.com/ ) in Naperville, g) we have lived in Wheaton since 1978 and in our home since 1984, h) we had our home built in 1984 and we have spent lots of time and money on maintenance, improvements, and upgrades, i) we are next to the Illinois Prairie Path, and j) three fast food restaurants are in walking distance of our home. Factors that encourage me to leave Illinois include a) Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct are ever-increasingly moving to the left as Democrats invade, that is, they are becoming more and more and more anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican, b) fewer and fewer and fewer of my neighbors are Republicans, c) when Republican homes are sold in my precinct, by my estimate, 4 out of 5 times, Democrats buy them, d) the cost of living and real estate taxes are high, e) my critics/opponents in my precinct almost succeeded in rudely stopping me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, f) no one in Wheaton, Milton Township, or DuPage County came to my defense when my critics/opponents rudely stopped me from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, and g) ever-increasingly, those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and DuPage County blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.
https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/what-its-retire-illinois-compared-other-states
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Deciding where to live in retirement is one of the most important decisions many retirees in the United States need to make. While some may want to stay close to family and friends, others may prioritize affordable housing, a reasonable cost of living, and a low tax rate to maximize retirement income. Safety, access to health care, and climate are also big factors. Using data from financial services company and personal finance website Bankrate, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the best and worst states to retire. Bankrate analyzed multiple data points and assigned a weight to each category: affordability (40%), well-being (20%), culture and diversity (15%), weather (15%), and crime (10%). According to the report, Illinois ranks as the 16th best place to retire among the 50 states. The state ranks 13th best in well-being, its best performing category. This category takes multiple measures into account, including access to health care, access to food, and economic security. Illinois’ worst performing category is culture and diversity. In this category, which takes into account venues for arts, entertainment, and recreation as well as the population’s racial and ethnic diversity, Illinois ranks 20th worst in the country.
