FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Illinois Democrats denounce as ‘deceitful’ a pipeline used in last year’s elections to right-wing local news sites.” Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-democrats-denounce-right-wing-newspapers-20230428-o6hs2xsihvgmvngqkxzyqldyyy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A publisher of far-right websites and mailings designed to look like newspapers created a special online portal for top Illinois GOP candidates and activists to directly seek favorable coverage during last year’s elections, according to a newspaper report that prompted state Democrats to denounce the actions as “deceitful” to voters. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Brian Timpone, an ally and business partner of right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, used a password-protected portal that allowed Republicans to pitch stories, provide questions for interviews, place campaign announcements and run “verbatim” op-eds on websites and mailings that are published by the Local Government Information Services organization.)
— Democrats crow that “Fox News ratings tumble after Tucker Carlson’s firing.” In 2002, I led a group that succeeded in forcing Wheaton to force Comcast to carry Fox News.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Schools are failing when it comes to telling parents the truth about student achievement. Most parents think that their children are learning at grade level because they’re getting A’s and B’s. They’re not, and schools are sending a mixed message about achievement.” Thanks to my outstanding Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers, I got an ACT score of 24 and acceptance by UIC in 1966.

According to Wikipedia, “Carlson began his career in journalism as a fact-checker for Policy Review.” While I worked for GAO 1986-1997, I often worked as a fact-checker.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats say “String of losses sets Illinois GOP insiders against each other in fiery media blitz.” I should write a book about a) how Illinois Review under Fran Eaton and b) how Illinois Leader under Dan Proft treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/conservative-news-site-illinois-review-critical-gop-insiders
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A kerfuffle among conservative Republicans is raising some eyebrows around Illinois — in some ways echoing what Democrats say about the Illinois GOP. At issue are a series of provocative pieces published recently by Illinois Review, a longtime right-leaning commentator on the state of Illinois politics whose ownership recently changed hands. Last week, for instance, it raised questions about whether conservative megadonor Dick Uihlein is getting his money’s worth out of big contributions to a political action committee run by conservative operative and radio talk show host Dan Proft. Earlier, it called for the resignation of state GOP Chairman Don Tracy, saying the state party’s miserable showing in the November general election — including the defeat of Proft- and Uihlein-backed gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey — did not warrant Tracy’s retention. It also has reported that an investigation is underway into whether postal rules were broken when Tracy allowed the party establishment’s candidate for governor, Richard Irvin, to use its postal permit to lower costs for mailing campaign literature. Tracy urged Illinois Review to back off. “They do seem to be trying to divide the party,” Tracy said an interview. “They seem to be attacking more Republicans than Democrats.” Proft responded with some of his trademark snark but declined substantive comment. “Got another ‘bombshell’ there, do you, Greg?” he said in an email. “You go ahead and run with it.” Jeanne Ives, a Proft ally who also is mentioned in recent Illinois Review articles, also has a sharp “no comment” statement: “I don’t read their garbage,” she emailed. But Illinois Review Publisher Scott Kaspar said the new owners’ objectives are pretty clear. “Exposing corruption is sort of our main goal,” Kaspar said in an interview, because corruption is one of the reason the party has done poorly in recent cycles. “We need to clean up our house, so we can do better at the polls.” Kaspar pointed to the post about Proft, which suggested that one reason a slate of candidates backed by Proft for the Lyons Township High School District board fell short in the March election is Proft’s People Who Play By the Rules PAC reported spending just $3,725.56 on their behalf in a quarter in which his Starfish Consulting was paid $75,000 by the PAC and firms operated by associates another $67,000. “It struck us as odd that something like 38 times more money went to consultants rather than candidates,” Kaspar said, though he conceded that some of the group’s spending was not quite clear. That criticism — Uihlein’s money being wasted — is similar to comments political aides to incumbent Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker made after GOP gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey lost by double digits to Pritzker last November, despite millions of dollars of attack ads against him spent by Proft’s PAC using Uihlein donations. Another Illinois Review article blasted Tracy for recently saying that, like it or not, Illinois Republicans will have to start promoting the use of mail ballots if they hope to beat Democrats. Tracy didn’t talk about that until after November’s defeat, the article said, and didn’t mention that Illinois Democrats have allocated millions of dollars to implement such programs, while Illinois Republicans are operating on a “shoestring budget.” Another target of reporting by the publication is Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau. Pekau defeated Kaspar in the GOP primary for the 6th District congressional race last year. The two repeatedly have clashed in various settings, but Kaspar denied he’s using Illinois Review for a personal feud. One of Tracy’s predecessors as Illinois GOP chair, Pat Brady, said that, up to a point, Illinois Review and its new owners “have a point. Proft has had horrible results,” spending at least $130 million in the past couple of years on races for governor, Illinois Supreme Court judgeships and other losers, he said. But overall, the story behind the story may be no more complicated that a new publication trying to attract an audience and make money by attacking the party establishment, Brady continued, noting that Donald Trump and others have gained by such moves. Kaspar responded that, “You have people who understand what we’re doing and people who have something to hide.” Illinois Review in November announced its change in ownership from co-founder Fran Eaton to a group including Kaspar and conservative radio host Mark Vargas, who is the site’s editor. Update — Despite any claims to the contrary, there is “no basis in fact” that the party let Irvin use its postal permit, says Illinois GOP Executive Director Shaun McCabe.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them.” – Kevin Coyne

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Coyne, founder of the Safe Suburbs PAC, is celebrating the PAC”s achievements in Naperville in the April 4 election. Though the group’s endorsed candidates ‘faced a great disadvantage due to Naperville’s shifting political demographics, all 7 had very impressive finishes where 4 won seats on City Council and a 5th lost by less than 1 point.’ “Safe Suburbs USA started in Naperville in 2020 and largely in response to a local political trend that we found dismissive of police concerns and the warnings raised by the DuPage County and Will County SAs as to the SAFE T Act,” Coyne said on Twitter. “Since then, we have endorsed and aggressively supported 7 Naperville Council candidates. All 7 were Right-leaning non-incumbents running against largely Left-leaning candidates in a city that both Biden and Pritzker won by over 20 points each. Uphill battles to say the least.” Coyne trusts “These new councilmen, once paired with Mayor-elect and FOP endorsed Scott Wehrli, give Naperville an exceptionally strong pro-police council.” He said they “see no chance that this new majority will be dismissive of police concerns nor remain passive should future threats to public safety, such as the SAFE T Act, arise. “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them. We look forward to future election successes, both in Naperville and throughout Chicagoland,” Coyne added. In the wake of the election Coyne, a former Naperville councilman, said it was “a very good night in Naperville and a couple of other communities for our supported candidates.” Safe Suburbs endorsed Josh McBroom, Meghna Bansal, Nag Jaiswal, and Nate Wilson for Naperville City Council. The council race featured a crowded field. In an updated report from Positively Naperville, McBroom won with 13,162 votes and 11.97% of the electorate. Wilson, who had a 41-lead over Bansal, also won with 10,430 and 9.49% of the vote. Other endorsees, Bansal and Jaiswal, lost. The campaign featured controversy after Coyne and others called out Naperville council member Theresa Sullivan over the Naperville Forward mailer for misleading voters. Sullivan runs the Naper Forward PAC, which supports leftist politics. Naperville mayor-elect Scott Wehrli, a part-time law enforcement officer, defeated councilman Benny White in the April 4 election. “We worked so hard to represent every voice in this community, and that’s been the amazing part of this journey — meeting so many wonderful people and learning so much about different groups, different cultures, different facets of this Naperville that we know that I never understood,” Wehrli said at his election party, DuPage Policy Journal previously reported. On his website, Wehrli said maintaining a safe, livable community was his first goal. “We work hard to be called one of the safest cities in America. Living without constant fear of street crime is a prime reason people live, move, shop and do business here,” Wehrli’s website reads. Safe Suburbs USA notes on its website that it “promotes public safety and the welfare of suburban residents throughout the USA by advocating and educating on issues relating to crime and its effect on suburban families. We recommend and promote agencies, candidates and programs which promote public safety and the rule of law.” The Naperville City Council will be sworn in on April 30.)

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/congress-should-repeal-special-immunity-it-gave-the-gun-industry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why shouldn’t a jury be allowed to decide if promoting high-power, large cartridge, weapons of war to the average consumer makes that product unreasonably dangerous when used to murder civilians? They can do so for virtually any other type of product in America where the entire industry isn’t given special immunity by Congress or another legislative body. Why is gun manufacturing entitled to this special exemption? Gun ownership is protected by the 2nd Amendment, but gun manufacturing is not. By simply removing this special shield against civil liability, we would force gun manufacturers to consider how they market their most lethal weapons, and to whom. They would have to think about whether to make guns with handprint or fingerprint technology (like an iPhone) so only the purchaser who passed a background check could use the weapon. No one’s constitutional rights would be impinged, and one would be affirmed—the 7th Amendment right to trial by jury—a guarantee that our Founders intended to be just as sacrosanct as the 2nd Amendment and all other freedoms inscribed in the Bill of Rights.)

I share all of Trump’s aforesaid bad demographics. Because of that, I lack jury appeal. Because of that, the courts in the lawsuits that I have filed have granted the defendants summary judgment.

— Democrats ask “Can’t make sense of your college financial aid package?” and say “Here’s help.” My father made just enough money to disqualify me for any kind of college financial aid. Because of that, between November of 1964 and September of 1969, the overwhelming focus of my life was earning money a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and b) to buy new cars to get to/from work and school. I washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked as many hours that I could. That enabled me a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses; b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968; and c) to graduate debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger. However, my GPA suffered because I spent too much time working instead of studying. According to my critics/opponents, I had to work my way through college because I did not get any scholarships because I was not college material. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24.

My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors ignored, dismissed, belittled, wasted, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that. They did that because I was so many of the following: Republican, conservative, draft avoider, union member, grievance filer, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972. Starting in 1972, I deducted those courses, and in 1978, they disallowed those courses. They falsely argued that the courses were not job related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and that they were a distraction. They ignored the fact that the employee manual they had given me encouraged me to take the courses. They ignored the requirements of my position description the reason why I took the courses that I stated in my Loyola application.)

FORBES
— Democrats say “How To Have An Authentic Job Search To Find A Company That Aligns With Your Values.” Democrats run the federal government. If you are not a Democrat or do not become a Democrat and you become a federal employee, the Democrats who run the federal government will not only assure that you will not have a successful career, they will waste your career and get rid of you. I never would have become a federal employee if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him in 1966. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from the Post Office in 1966. Because my employment opportunities were bleak in 1970 because I was viewed as being draft bait, I took and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS in 1971 because I was unemployed because my Firestone Store boss had rudely filed me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The platform is not “Democrat Lite.” The Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. However, ever-increasingly, IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders talk and/or act like they reject 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. Ever-increasingly, they use the Republican Party’s “Big Tent” policy to get rid of platform Republicans like me, that is, to get rid of conservatives like me. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like they are anti-conservative if not conservative-hating Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs. Ever-increasingly they take adverse actions against those like me who support the aforesaid planks. I should write a book about that. I would focus on IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders a) who rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) who rudely ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) who rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who rudely ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) who rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) who rudely ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee (ICRC) member in 2007, g) who rudely almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) who rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and i) who rudely ended my service on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

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.)

— 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.)

I would not have been denied my 7th Amendment rights if I had been liberal, Democrat, minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German America, and/or if my ancestors had not been America for a long time.

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— 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.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: n Oregon widow recently filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) because officials won’t allow her to adopt children from the foster care system. 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.)

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.)

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. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— Democrats say “Where immigrants come from and where they go after reaching the US.” Employers want immigrants because employers want cheap labor. 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.

(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.)

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.)

I would focus on those races in which a) the losing candidates blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their losses and b) the winning candidates blamed me and my newsletters the most for their small victory margins.)

They forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. The forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

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.”)

Overwhelmingly, those who took the same tests that I took were White males.

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.

They ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and/or condemn what I did to help elect Ryan after he won the primary.

In addition to spreading money around such as by paying for advertising, the party created a website that listed candidates it thought should not be elected.

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want cheap labor. I should write a book about them. I would focus on RINOs whose parents had lots of money. Because my parents did not have lots of money, to pay for my college expenses and for cars to get to/from work and school, I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, etc.)

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.)

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.)

Concerning #5 below, ever-increasingly, to get votes from moderates and from liberals, the IRP paints itself as being “Democrat-lite” and dumps the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Concerning #6 and #7 below, ever-increasingly, to get votes from moderates and from liberals, the IRP paints itself as being “Democrat-lite” and attacks and destroys conservatives. Concerning #10 below, I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. I should write a book about those anti-conservative and conservative-hating IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders who have done the most since 2000 a) to stop me from putting those newsletters together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

(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.)

According to them, that was what Congress wanted them to do.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCESIS PATCH

THE HILL
— Democrats say “Trump discourages DeSantis, says candidacy would ‘only hurt’ Republican Party.” I should write a book about what the anti-conservative and conservative-hating leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party did to me to defeat me when I ran for its open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. They blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan’s defeat in 2002. They hated TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and hated the Illinois Center Right Coalition and the leadership roles that I held in those organizations. Because I would have started MTRO to use budgets if I was elected, they brought in two CPAs to speak against budgeting. They said that I irritated everyone around me and that I was not a team player. I lost 69 to 13.

FED SMITH
— 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.
