January 28, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders have opened Pandora’s Box. The illegal immigration they promote will ever-increasingly increase. Democrat leaders will continue to flood America with illegals at least until they have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever be elected again. RINO leaders will continue to flood America with illegals at least until they have all the cheap labor that they can use. Countries that hate America will continue to flood America with their citizens until they have destroyed America. Constructively, if not literally, Democrat and RINO leaders have abolished America’s borders. By claiming asylum, refugee, or parole status, all the citizens of all of the countries of the world can come into America “legally” and stay in American “legally.” Because Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration but falsely deny it, a) Trump will be elected, b) the Senate will turn Republican, c) the House will stay Republican, and d) steps will be taken to save America.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/2821039/huge-loss-for-dei-in-federal-court/
(FROM THGE ARTICLE: When even a liberal federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama rules that diversity, equity, and inclusion practices can be illegal, it is time to recognize that most DEI regimes by design are invidiously discriminatory. In a case that received too little attention, Judge Wendy Beetlestone of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled this month that former Pennsylvania State University professor Zack De Piero had reasonable grounds to keep alive a lawsuit against the school based on its DEI practices. De Piero said DEI policies at the college essentially forced his resignation, and Beetlestone agreed the professor “plausibly alleged that he was subjected to a race-based hostile work environment.” . . . Those conditions were created explicitly by the university’s DEI policies and practices. For example, on five different occasions, the university required De Piero “to attend conferences or trainings that discussed racial issues in essentialist and deterministic terms — ascribing negative traits to white people or white teachers without exception and flowing inevitably from their race.” In one exercise after the Minnesota police killing of counterfeiter George Floyd, the instructor forced “White and non-Black people of color to hold [their breath] just a little longer [than black people] — to feel the pain.” If literally being forced to feel pain because one is white isn’t racially discriminatory, nothing is. But that was only one example. In another instance, De Piero said the facilitator “condemn[ed] white people for no other reason than they spoke or were simply present while being white.” Meanwhile, he said, university officials specifically told him “to incorporate race into his grading” in a way that would “penalize [white] students academically on the basis of their race.” And it is incontrovertible that Penn State’s DEI director “sent an email to all employees ‘calling on white people’ to ‘feel terrible,’ about their ‘own internalized white supremacy.”)

But notwithstanding the aforesaid, in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors suddenly disallowed the aforesaid courses immediately after Money Magazine published its February 4-page article on me. In that article, Money Magazine strongly and falsely painted my deductions as being improper. Money Magazine strongly and falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that the courses were not job-related, b) that the courses did not help me carry out my job duties, c) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and d) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector.)

— The Psychology of Multicultural Identity. Analyzing identity through the lives of Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley. – Dinesh Sharma Ph.D. (COMMENT: What are your demographics? What do Haley supporters think of you? All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. Did your ancestors serve in the Union Army? Mine did not. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In defense of my ancestors, I have always stressed a) that all of them lived only in northeast Illinois, b) that on my father’s side, they were lowly famers in southeast Crete Township, and c) that on my mother’s side, they were lowly sharecroppers in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)
https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/leaders-in-the-making/202401/the-psychology-of-multicultural-identity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Nikki Haley, on the other hand, belongs to a family of warriors, continuing the Sikh tradition of her people; her husband, Michael Haley, and brother, Mitti Randhawa, have served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. She was the first female governor of South Carolina; she also took down the Confederate flag after the shooting of Black parishioners at Emanuel African Methodist Church in 2015 by a White nationalist. She served as the UN secretary under Trump, who is now spreading a “birther controversy” about her name not being American enough. Yet she has steadfastly claimed that the U.S. is not a racist country. She once checked on her voter registration card that she was “White” when the census classifications were not clear about the “Asian” category on the census form. She has tried to balance the nativist vision of American exceptionalism prevalent in her party with her Indian heritage. Governor Nikki Haley exemplifies what psychologists have identified as an assimilationist view of identity, where the majoritarian White identity dominates the life narrative, while other minority identifications are subsumed underneath. How is it that Governor Nikki Haley, who was the governor of a state where the Civil War started, could forget about the root causes of America’s bloody history? I have a sneaking suspicion as to why she didn’t mention slavery. The party of Lincoln may now want to reassess the history of the Civil War under their new leadership. However, there is a silver lining in all this. Only in America can we witness two first-generation immigrant female candidates, vying for the top job, who are, to quote Thomas Paine, trying “to start the world over again.”)

A new report says city eateries had trouble finding workers last summer, with 82% of them short at least one kitchen staffer. Local owners say things have started to improve, but food and labor costs are still a concern. – Audrey Hettleman (COMMENT: I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between. Since 1964, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that against me to paint me as being an unmitigated loser. They hint/imply/argue/shout that they never would have stooped to take job like I took. In my defense, with the money I earned and saved washing dishes, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240126/news/homeless-man-convicted-of-raping-woman-on-prairie-path-near-wheaton/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 44-year-old homeless man was convicted Thursday evening of raping a woman on the Illinois Prairie Path (in) Wheaton almost six years ago. Following a three-day trial and less than three hours of deliberation, a jury found Robert Davison guilty of multiple counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and one count of unlawful restraint. Davison has been in custody at the DuPage County jail since his arrest in May of 2018. Wheaton police began investigating the attack just after midnight on May 18, 2018, when a woman was heard screaming for help near the PADS shelter in Wheaton. The woman had dirt on her face and cuts to her upper body. The woman told investigators she had been approached by Davison along the Prairie Path who “demanded sex from her.” When she refused, she said Davison dragged her into a wooded area by the hair and sexually assaulted her. Davison fled after the attack, but was located two days later, authorities said. Davison is scheduled back in court March 7 for a pre-sentencing hearing. He faces up to 90 years in prison.)

https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/park-ridge-takes-compassionate-approach-should-any-migrants-arrive/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While no known arrivals of asylum seekers have occurred in Park Ridge, the city has put together a plan that would become effective if a bus load of migrants are suddenly dropped off in the city. Park Ridge leaders have decided not to enact an ordinance that would impose fines on bus companies and their drivers for allowing migrants to disembark in the city without prior notice. Instead, City Manager Joe Gilmore said, an “Emergency Management Plan” has been put together that directs that Park Ridge will “compassionately facilitate transportation (of migrants) to the city of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications.” The plan lays out procedures the city and police department will follow should a drop off occur. In cases where migrants have been dropped off in Park Ridge without the city’s knowledge, “they should be sheltered at either the Dee Road or Uptown Metra station (whichever is closest).” From there, local police will contact the Metra Police Department and assist in getting people on the next inbound train to Chicago. In instances where a bus carrying migrants has not yet dropped off their passengers, the police “should request that the passengers remain on the bus for routing to the city of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications.” According to Gilmore, city officials have studied the migrant issue for a lengthy period of time which for many suburbs has triggered ordinances that penalize bus companies and drivers that arrive in their communities unannounced. Most of those towns say they do not have the resources to shelter and feed asylum seekers. Local ordinances have been approved in neighboring Des Plaines and Rosemont. “The plan is high-level and fluid, and discussed frequently by city staff,” continued Gilmore. He explained that the city’s staff has communicated with other suburbs about their experiences. He added that a recent survey of the Northwest Municipal Conference revealed that a majority of its 46 members have not adopted ordinances that restrict unscheduled bus stops within their borders. “Park Ridge staff discussed this option, and engaged the city attorney, and staff concluded that this is not an effective option, at this time. We continue to monitor the situations and options.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott about two years ago implemented the program of transporting asylum seekers, most of whom have entered the U.S. through Texas, to Northern locations that have declared themselves sanctuary cities. The city of Chicago considers itself a sanctuary city. Many people believe that Abbott created the program to dump migrants in cities as a way of showing the problems his state is wrestling with. In its Emergency Plan, Park Ridge police will provide “address, guidance, and/or escort to the Chicago location where migrants are given food and shelter. “The city of Park Ridge, like every Chicagoland municipality facing this crisis, does not have the resources or infrastructure necessary to accommodate individuals on a long-term basis,” said the city’s Emergency Plan.)

Yandle and Judge David W.

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/3883986-new-executive-order-will-expand-race-preferences-throughout-the-federal-government/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Individuals should be treated as individuals and not on the basis of their membership in racial groups, especially by our government. Unfortunately, a new executive order encourages federal agencies to focus on racial group identity rather than the character and qualifications of employees and contractors. It will result in racial quotas in hiring, procuring, and even using artificial intelligence throughout the government. The executive order’s stated goal is advancing racial equity throughout the federal government. The word “equity” appears 21 times. The order brims with talk about “new action plans to advance equity,” “extending and strengthening equity-advancing requirements for agencies,” and requires agencies to convene “Equity Teams” charged with ensuring that their agencies are “delivering equitable outcomes.” While equity sounds similar to “equality,” the two concepts are quite different. A Biden campaign video narrated by Vice President Kamala Harris nicely sums up the difference, indicating that the administration uses “equality” to mean that each individual is given the same opportunities. “Equity,” on the other hand, seeks to achieve equal outcomes.)

Hopcroft (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Republicans who are White and/or male are ever-increasingly paid less than Democrats and RINOs who are minority and/or female. I am Republican, White, and male. I worked for Democrats 1964-1997. In today’s dollars, the most I was ever paid was $150,075/year. If I had been a Democrat, minority, or female, I would have been paid much more than that, at least $191,900/year in today’s dollars. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my superiors promoted over me were Democrats who had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) fewer or no professional certifications than I had, and/or d) no professional license. Virtually all of them were minorities and/or females. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://ifstudies.org/blog/making-good-men-harder-to-find-how-changing-wealth-inequality-affects-marriage-patterns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lots of things affect how hard it is to find a spouse. Local sex ratios are an example. For instance, in Alaska, where there are many more men than women, it is harder for a man to find a wife than a woman to find a husband. Something else that affects how hard it is for someone to find a spouse are preferences. If a person will only accept someone as a spouse who has characteristics that few people have, then it will hard for that person to find a spouse. In a recent paper published in Evolution and Human Behavior, Robert Brooks and coauthors used computer simulation models to mimic how different wealth characteristics of individuals influence the outcome of marriage markets. Their models simulated a population of one million men and one million women encountering each other and pairing off if they met a partner who met their specification for wealth. All the simulated men and women had a wealth characteristic that was distributed normally in the population, with a certain mean and standard deviation. That is, some men and women were rich, some were poor and most were in between, with the amount of inequality measured by the standard deviation of wealth. The women had the greater requirements for a spouse—they would only pair with a man they encountered of equal or greater wealth than themselves. The men had the least requirements for a spouse—they would pair with a woman they encountered who was willing to pair with them.)

January 26, 2024

Democrat and RINO leaders want America to officially stop enforcing its immigration laws, that is, to let all those who come into America stay in America forever if they claim asylum, refugee, parole, etc. status. That will elect Trump.

If/when Democrats and/or RINOs try to officially make your county, your township, your municipality, and/or your school district official sanctuaries for illegals, who will lead the fight against that? I will lead the fight against that in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200. Previously, in Wheaton, I successfully led fights against video gambling and pot.

Wheaton is holding a special meeting on bus regulations Monday, January 29, 2024, 7:00 PM.

I ask that the following speak out against Democrat/RINO orchestrated illegal immigration: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, c) the leaders of your county/township/ward Republican party organizations, d) your Republican congressman, state senator, and state representative, e) the Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, f) the candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct, g) conservative leaders and activists in your area, and h) religious leaders and activists in your area.

— Orland Park officially declares it is not a sanctuary city – Jeff Vorva
https://southwestregionalpublishing.com/2024/01/19/orland-park-officially-declares-it-is-not-a-sanctuary-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For years, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has been saying the village is a non-sanctuary municipality. On January 15, the board of trustees made it official. The board voted 6-0, with Joni Radaszewski absent, on an ordinance declaring that the village will not be a sanctuary city. In past meetings, Pekau said that allowing migrants into the community was unfair to the residents of the community and unfair to the migrants themselves as Orland Park is not equipped to handle them. He added that sanctuary cities go against federal law even though it’s being encouraged on the state and county level. “We are clearly not a sanctuary city,” Pekau said. “We will not aid and abet the state, the county, or the city of Chicago in violating federal law. “And it’s really unfortunate that we have to pass something like this. We shouldn’t really have to say that we need to pass an ordinance saying we’re going to follow federal law. But it seems like in this current environment, we do.” On the problems caused by migrants and illegal immigrants, Pekau paraphrased former President Ronald Reagan. “The beauty of America is that if you come here from somewhere else you can become an American,” Pekau said. “No other country takes people in, and they become Americans like America does. “But it must be done legally and it seems absolutely nuts that we have to pass an ordinance that we will follow U.S. law. Now Chicago has reached out and asked us to help them violate federal law.” The mayor said that there is $450 billion being spend nationally on “non-citizens illegally crossing our borders” and that money can be better spent on the local level.)

— Naperville migrants: City scraps plan for residents to house new arrivals
https://abc7chicago.com/naperville-migrants-illinois-in-chicago-migrant-housing/14361376/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville is not moving forward with a plan to have residents house migrants in their homes. The city was considering putting together a list of residents willing to bring migrants into their homes. But city staff decided there are other state and federal agencies putting together lists of shelters to house migrants, so it’s not necessary for Naperville residents to pitch in. The decision came just one week from Chicago’s deadline for when migrants will start being evicted from shelters. The city said it’s continuously looking at that 60-day shelter stay policy, but no changes in the eviction date have been announced.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Naperville will not consider volunteer list for housing migrants – Alicia Fabbre
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240125/news/naperville-will-not-consider-volunteer-list-for-housing-migrants/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to city council members Wednesday, Naperville City Manager Doug Krieger said the city received significant feedback following a Jan. 16 city council meeting where Councilman Josh McBroom suggested the idea. At that time, city staff was directed to look into the suggestion and report back to the council. “Based on initial staff research, migrant housing lists are currently being maintained by government agencies at the federal and state level, as well as through private charities,” Krieger writes in the memo. “As a result, it has been determined that it is not necessary for further city consideration and therefore this matter will not appear on a future city council agenda.” The message will be part of a “manager’s memorandum” expected to be posted to the city’s website, city spokeswoman Linda LaCloche said. At the Jan. 16 council meeting, McBroom floated the idea of a volunteer list of residents willing to house migrants and had the support of three council members – Nate Wilson, Jennifer Bruzan-Taylor and Paul Leong – to have staff look into the suggestion and report back to the council at a later date. Though McBroom said last week he was sincere in his proposal, he said Thursday the suggestion was a “polite challenge” to those who support an open border policy. “It was a sincere challenge because the city of Chicago clearly cannot handle this crisis anymore, and they’re putting pressure on the cities,” McBroom said. “The way I see it, we’ve got one of two options. Individuals can contact their state representatives to pressure them to get the border secure. Or, if you supported this policy and you believe an open border is a good policy, then are you willing to house a migrant family? There are a lot of them who are homeless right now in the dead of winter.” McBroom’s proposal quickly drew national attention, and McBroom on Thursday appeared on a Fox News program. It also sparked a flurry of emails to council members with reactions ranging from outrage from conservatives who blasted McBroom, a Republican, for suggesting people house new arrivals to a local church inquiring how families could help. McBroom brushed off some of the reaction from fellow conservatives, saying he could “take a few arrows” and said his challenge at least got people talking. Others, however, didn’t see his actions in the same light. “I don’t appreciate Naperville becoming a national laughing stock or just being used for political points,” Councilman Ian Holzhauer said. As the city faced increased scrutiny, Mayor Scott Wehrli said he had a discussion with McBroom late last week about his proposal. “I suggested to him if he had a change of heart, he should contact the city manager and let him know,” Wehrli said. McBroom on Thursday acknowledged he contacted Krieger about the proposal and asked to have it removed from future agendas. Wilson, who initially supported the measure, also requested the same. Krieger reached out to Taylor and Leong, who also supported ending further inquiry and removing it from the agenda. According to council policy, the support of three council members is needed to add an item to the agenda. To remove an item, two of those council members must support its removal. Wehrli, who said he did not support McBroom’s initial proposal, said the city will continue to ensure the safe passage of new arrivals to the landing zone in Chicago. Residents who want to help new arrivals are encouraged to visit chicago.gov.)

— McBroom: ‘I haven’t had a single person’ in Naperville sign up to house illegal aliens
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/653885165-mcbroom-i-haven-t-had-a-single-person-in-naperville-sign-up-to-house-illegal-aliens
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville City Council Member Josh McBroom said he hasn’t had any Naperville residents volunteer to house illegal aliens who have moved to the Chicagoland area. McBroom made the comments Thursday on AM 560’s Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson. “It’s weird. During the last presidential race, we had thousands of Biden signs in Naperville. We’ve got houses all over town that advertise support for this mass migration of illegals. They say ‘no human is illegal,” McBroom said. “Since I’ve proposed this, I’ve haven’t had a single person ask me, ‘Where’s the sign-up sheet. I want to sign the sign-up sheet, I’m ready to sign my house up for the signup sheet’ It’s shocking.” “These are the people that voted for this. We’ve got thousands of illegals coming into the area. And they’re homeless— in the middle of winter,” McBroom said. ”You voted for this. You sign up. Be the change. Open your house. At the Jan. 16 Naperville City Council Meeting, McBroom suggested the city create a “signup sheet” whereby residents who support illegal immigration to the Chicagoland area could volunteer to house now homeless illegal aliens to live with them. “We hear from people that we should do more,” McBroom said. “We do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes.” McBroom earned his Bachelor’s degree from Purdue University. He and his wife Emily settled in Naperville in 2001. McBroom is a Financial Advisor and owner of McBroom Financial Group in Naperville. He was elected to the Naperville city council in 2023. His current council term ends in 2027.)

https://afn.net/politics-govt/2024/01/25/reparations-resolution-lists-130-reasons-for-handing-out-14-trillion/
(COMMENT: Reacting to the resolution, GianCarlo Canaparo of the Heritage Foundation says the resolution claims slavery created “lasting harm” on black Americans. Among the poorest Americans, he says, there was little difference between struggling blacks and whites through most of the 20th century until the 1960s. Echoing a view of many others, such as black economist Thomas Sowell, Canaparo says the structure of the black family changed for the worse when President Lyndon Johnson introduced his “war on poverty” in 1964. What was supposed to end dependence on government instead created what is now known was the “welfare state” that hurt black families the most. “It is the family, staying in the family above all else,” Canaparo says, “that determines your economic, educational success in America.” Bush, 47, fits that description herself. The daughter of a local politician, Errol Bush, she graduated from a private Catholic prep school then graduated from nursing school.)

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— Immigration Now a Zero-Sum Game (COMMENT: Everything is a zero-sum game. Everything given to members of one group is not given to members of another group. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had fewer or no professional certifications, and/or d) who had no professional license. Virtually all of them were female and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2024/01/16/immigration-now-zero-sum-game
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sheer volumes of admissions now exceed national need, capacity, and manageability — a far cry from a rational, and limited, immigration approach designed to aggregate national purpose with mutual benefits. Instead, today’s immigration has often become a zero-sum game, the proposition that a gain for one side entails a corresponding loss for the other side…notably each and every American. Of course, it’s been evident for a long time; FAIR has been reporting regularly on the rising cost and impact of immigration. But while politicians have been able to conveniently ignore consequences and “kick the can” down the road for decades, the money is now running out, space is unavailable, and social resources are drained. The result has been a marked increase in the immediate shifting of resources and a displacement of Americans to accommodate surging migrant needs.)

ZERO HEDGE
— Cultural Replacement: Why The Immigration Crisis Is Being Deliberately Engineered – TYLER DURDEN
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cultural-replacement-why-immigration-crisis-being-deliberately-engineered
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cultural Replacement Theory “Replacement Theory” is often denigrated by the media as a racist conspiracy held by white people who are “afraid to lose power.” This is nonsensical for a number of reasons, including the fact that if “white people” were a monolith and we had all the power, then we would simply snuff out any threats to that power and lock down our borders. There would be nothing anyone could do to stop us. The truth is, there is no white monolith, there is no patriarchy and there is no such thing as systemic racism. Do some leftist activists clamor for mass migration to replace white people in the US and Europe? Absolutely. They call it “decolonization.” Is this the real purpose of mass migration? Probably not. The replacement going on is not so much about replacing white people as it is about replacing western culture. The goal, I believe, is to open the floodgates to foreign elements because most of them come from more socialist systems that have no understanding of individual freedom. In this way, the establishment can dilute the American culture of independence and use the tyranny of the majority (democracy) to erase our values and principles forever. This is why you will hear Biden and his ilk constantly pontificate on “democracy” and the “defense of democracy’ and the conservative “threat to democracy.” This is very deliberate terminology. When they say “democracy”, they are talking about the rule of the mob; the tyranny of the majority. They are talking about collectivism, socialism and ultimately authoritarianism for the “sake of the greater good.” Migrants are being used to phase out the pillars of western civilization. This is why the borders must be secured now and illegals must be kicked out of the country with haste. No martial law, no FEMA detention facilities, no amnesty, no asylum, no welfare and no subsidies. They just need to be removed and sent back to where they came from and if they return illegally they should be severely punished. In order for this to happen it would appear that southern states will have to enforce their own border security. But how to do this without federal interference? The American public will have to step in and step up to help states like Texas. The movement will have to be so overwhelming that the federal government is afraid to intervene. The shape of this secure border action will require trial and error, but as long as Texas is willing to continue arresting illegals and shipping them out of the country, all that is needed is a contingent of deputized Americans to help watch the border and catch people trying to cross. There may also be a need for people to defend border walls and fences from federal sabotage. Some will argue that this constitutes a violation, a defiance of federal authorities, and I would say yes, it is, and that’s a good thing. The Biden Administration is in dereliction of its duty to keep the country safe from foreign invasion. Doing nothing and leaving borders undefended from mass immigration is no different from refusing to defend the border from a foreign military. If the current trend is allowed to continue, the stage will be set for a host of emergencies that will be exploited to give elites the excuse to erase what constitutional protections we have left. This cannot be tolerated. It’s time to end it.)

— Are Corvette Owners Old? (COMMENT: I am 75 years old. I have owned my 1972 (C3) Corvette since I bought it new when I was 23 in 1971. I have owned my 2005 (C6) Corvette since I bought it new when I was in 56 in 2005.)
https://www.corvsport.com/are-corvette-owners-old/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many thought the revolutionary design of the C7 would help bring in the younger generation (and it did to some degree), but the average Corvette customer’s age in 2019 had still climbed to 61 years old. Heading into C8 production, individuals between 25 and 40 only accounted for 3% of sales.)

— Oregon county officials dismantle $1 million-a-year diversity office and now say they want to focus on merit. – HARRIET ALEXANDER (COMMENT: My critics/opponents promote diversity, that is, they reject merit, that is, they reject the equal opportunity plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

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

In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728/year in June of 1971 and $66,942/year in September of 1972. I had bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971.

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

Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton is likely proud as well. In 2020, instead of using Illinois’ first day of legalization to warn of marijuana’s undisputed dangers, she celebrated the event as if it were the end of prohibition of apple pie. Her picture appeared on countless national stories from CNN to FOX, all smiles. “Illinois lieutenant governor beats long lines to become one of the first to legally buy weed in the state,” said the CNN headline.)

I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. But most significantly, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights after school and Saturdays during my junior and senior years 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between.)

— JANUARY 01, 1989 FLASHBACK: IN SNOW, IT`S A CUL-DE-SOCKED – Blair Kamin (COMMENT: I have lived on Wheaton’s high-taxed 4-home Cove Court cul-de-sac since 1984. Yesterday, I learned that because of “budget constraints,” Wheaton no longer final plows its cul-de-sacs unless individual snows are more than 2-inches deep. That means that if a cul-de-sac is hit with multiple individual snows in a row, but each of them are less than 2-inches, no final plowing is done no matter how high the snow is piled up in the middle of the cul-de-sac, along the curb, and in front of driveways. I have appealed that final plowing policy to Wheaton’s City Manager. My 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT has only a 6 1/2-inch ground clearance. Mountains of salt and hope for warm temperatures are not the answers. Per doctor’s orders, because on shoulder/arm injury, I am not supposed to shovel snow this winter.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-01-01-8902220015-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Snow and the cul-de-sac do not mix. The Plow Man had cometh, and as she looked at what he`d left behind, Drake recalled the time a plow operator scooped up neighbors` trash and unloaded it near her front lawn. ”Don`t buy a house on a cul-de-sac unless you want to put up with all that,” said the 45-year-old resident of west suburban Naperville. Last week`s heavy snow reminded thousands of people that they pay a price for living on quiet streets with privacy and gently sweeping curves that are like a snowball heaved at Chicago`s no-nonsense street grid. From Naperville, which has about 700 cul-de-sacs, to northwest suburban Schaumburg, which has about 535 of the dead-end, turn-around streets, the price is paid in destroyed sod, buried mailboxes and driveways that get clogged after there`s no place left for plows to put the snow. ”Mother Nature abhors a void,” said Steven Kaar, operations and maintenance manager for the Naperville Department of Transportation. ”Unfortunately, it`s Mr. Jones` driveway.” The reason for the mess is that the typical snow-clearing vehicle in Naperville, a small pickup truck, isn`t powerful enough to push heavy snow where operators want it to go. In fact, it takes 7 to 10 times longer to clear a cul-de-sac than a through street, according to Naperville officials. That`s bad news for suburban taxpayers, wherever they live. Cul-de-sacs are ”several times more expensive” to clear than regular streets, according to Naperville City Manager Ralph DeSantis. Heavy snow also slows Postal Service carriers. Just try reaching out of your Jeep and putting a letter in a snow-encased mailbox. ”I`ll try and deliver it (to the door),” said mailman Tom Stafford, 35, as he headed down a Naperville cul-de-sac. ”I`ve done that at least 20 times today. And I`m only about two-thirds of the way through the route.” Such are the disadvantages of streets where children can play without fear of through traffic and parents don`t have to contend with noise. Homes usually sell for a little more because of the privacy of cul-de-sacs. It also doesn`t hurt that the streets are called cul-de-sacs. To be sure, cul-de-sac is French for ”dead end.” But French adds a touch of class in the same way that English names like Devonshire give snob appeal to little subdivisions on the prairie. Yet that has not rescued the cul-de-sac from being ranked behind arterial streets, major collector streets and local side streets on the snow-clearance priority lists of suburban traffic engineers. The engineers, who make their rankings on the basis of which street handles the most traffic, regularly hear from armchair critics. ”They neglect roads like this,” said 20-year-old John Delgado, a transplanted Californian who was house-sitting on a cul-de-sac in Naperville last week. ”Out here`s where it really matters. . . . People have to be able to get out of their house to get on the main road.” Suburban officials like to deflect such criticism by pointing out that cul-de-sacs may be more manageable than Chicago`s side streets. In the city, cars often cram both sides of the side streets-and wind up covered with snow after plowing. In contrast, it`s illegal to park on the street during certain night hours in some suburbs. But some residents can`t get their cars out of the driveway after a heavy snow. That`s because plows are supposed to dump snow into ”parkways,” the city-owned strips that are wedged between the sidewalk and the curb. But the parkways are filled with mailboxes, street lights, trees and fireplugs. Those obstacles often force plows to push snow into driveways and sidewalks. ”It`s not intentional and it`s not malicious,” said Naperville`s Kaar, sounding like one who has been accused of such sins. ”Again, it`s the law of physics. . . . You come up to a void and the plow fills that void.” Another problem: Plows often go out at night and during snowstorms, when it`s difficult to see. As a result, they sometimes go over the curb and gouge sod. That some suburbs pay for replacing sod underlines the fact that cul-de-sac power is not taken lightly. Naperville, for example, has at least 17,000 residents who live on cul-de-sacs, according to Kaar. That`s more than 20 percent of the suburb`s 79,805 people. The snow-clearing problem also has forced suburbs to purchase something called the articulated end-loader-a hulking, bulldozer-like contraption that bends in the middle like large city buses. That feature allows the loader to make a complete, uninterrupted turn around cul-de-sacs. But unlike the weak pickup truck, the loader has the power-most of the time-to put snow where it should go, officials said. There`s just one problem: The end loaders cost $65,000 to $80,000 apiece- compared to $15,000 for a pickup truck. As a result, Naperville and Schaumburg have only a handful of them. The fact that end-loaders can travel at only 18 m.p.h. also brings complaints from residents who think it takes too long to clear their streets. But residents like Diane Drake aren`t leaving their cul-de-sacs-not because of an inconvenience that strikes a few times a year. ”I wouldn`t move to a regular street,” Drake said. ”This is pretty good. Until it snows.”)

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

— A pay cut for a better work-life balance? Many workers say yes – Micah Materre (COMMENT: Have you taken a pay cut? GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO. I did that because the Democrats who ran GAO would not let me transfer unless I took that pay cut. Because my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. Because the GAO Staff Manager who arranged the transfer promised me I would be quickly promoted to GS-11 Step 10 and then back to GS-12 Step 5 and then to GS-13. Because that GAO Staff Manager promised me he would assign me to audits of IRS so that I could use my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. Because of GAO’s mission. Because GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. Because far too many people hate IRS employees. But the Democrats who ran GAO immediately replaced that Staff Manager with a Staff Manager who disapproved of my being a former IRS employee, my being a former union member, and my being conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and someone who transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority, lots of unused annual leave and sick leave. For the next 6 years, he gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, he delayed my promotions, and he I kept me off audits of IRS. But then, he want on extended sick leave in late 1985 because of his heart problems caused by his excessive drinking. That enabled the Staff Manager who had arranged my transfer to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13, currently $115,439/year. But then, in 1987, the Staff Manager who disapproved of me came back from extended sick leave and promptly a) forced Staff Manager who had arranged my transfer to retire, b) threw off audits of IRS, c) gave me a very bad job assignment, d) gave me very unfair performance expectations and a very unfair performance appraisal, ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and made it clear that GAO would never reassign me to audits of IRS or promote me to GS-14. )

— You need more than $1 million to retire in parts of the US: How does Chicago rank? – Addy Bink (COMMENT: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high. My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is dramatically less (it is only $65,165/year), because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Even though I paid into Social Security 1964-1974, my Social Security is dramatically less (it is only $2,945.20/year). because I get a CSRS pension. Because Medicare now costs me $3,255.60/year, all my Social Security goes to pay Medicare and I had to pay Medicare $320.40 more. I have only $259,336.63 in regular IRA accounts and only $69,091.58 in Roth IRA accounts a) because of my Democrat superiors in the federal government, b) because I paid lots of money for tuition and books to earn three job-related master’s degrees, and c) because I bought new cars and collector cars.)
https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/you-need-more-than-1-million-to-retire-in-parts-of-the-us-how-does-chicago-rank/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois fell on the lower end of the scale, ranking as the 15th-cheapest state overall. Here, GOBankingRates determined you need at least $787,800 to retire, slightly more than Indiana at $777,600. Wisconsin retirees need even more at $840,000. That total would, of course, increase if you retired earlier. To fund a 30-year retirement, you’d need at least $1 million in 25 states, the study found. . .While Illinois ranked among the more affordable states, Chicago ranked among the most expensive metros to retire in. Here, you’ll need roughly $948,000 in order to afford a 25-year retirement. If you moved north to the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, you could save about $100,000, the analysis found. Across the state in the St. Louis area, a retiree needs even less at about $744,000.)

If I had been a Democrat woman or minority, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 year old in 1988. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less work experience than I had, b) had less education than I had, c) had fewer no professional certifications, and/or d) had no professional license. Virtually all of them were women and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a tweet posted Friday, she claimed the pilot was a DEI hire who’d “failed multiple trainings” but been hired anyway because he or she had checked the right identity boxes. “Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was FIRED and then rehired through United’s DEI program despite being on a list to not return to United?” St. Clair wrote in her tweets. “Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training? Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added. In an additional tweet, she accused the co-pilot of also having possibly been a DEI hire. When billionaire Elon Musk noted that this puts a lot of lives at risk “if true,” Ashley responded: “Wish it wasn’t & far from the only instance.

December 31, 2023

Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, all anyone in the world needs to do to come into America “legally” or to stay in America “legally” is to claim asylum. The Democrat news media ever-increasingly a) paints asylum seekers as being GOD-like and b) paints the Republican battle against illegal immigration as being lost forever. That is, that soon, if not already, Democrat leaders will have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever win an election again and RINO leaders will have all the cheap labor that they can use. Anticipate/expect that if Democrat and RINO leaders conclude that it is necessary, they will ever-increasingly move illegals to battleground/swing states so that they can vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats on the ballot.

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about the aforesaid. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years (1980-1997), for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), and for the Post Office for almost 3 years (1966-1969). I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (Loyola-business), 1980 (DePaul-accounting), and 1997 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting). I earned a job-related profession license (CPA) in 1981. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I might still be paying 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS instead of drawing a pension from it.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Only 3.4% of U.S. journalists are Republicans – Kerry Picket (COMMENT: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have been a member of that 3.4% since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, you cannot be both a journalist and a Republican.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/30/only-34-us-journalists-are-republicans-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose. According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022. That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll. Democrats in the news industry saw their ranks swell by eight percentage points in 2022 to 36%. The number is nine percentage points higher than the overall Democrat population of 27%, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll. The new survey notes that the figure is the third-highest percentage of journalists identifying as Democrats since 1971. The study included other findings that covered various topics in the journalism workplace, including educational levels, workplace satisfaction, shrinking newsrooms, median ages of reporters, women, minorities, sought-after training and social media. According to the survey, 22% of the respondents said journalism in the U.S. was headed in the right direction, while 60.1% said otherwise. Similar numbers of respondents said the same a decade ago. When asked about the “most important problem facing journalism today,” the journalists mentioned these issues most often: declining public trust in the news media, shrinking local and community news coverage, perceived bias and opinion journalism, fake news and disrupted business models. This survey resumes the series of national studies of U.S. journalists launched in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone. It continued in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2013 by David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit and their colleagues at Indiana University. The new study was based on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists and conducted in early 2022.)

PHYLLIS PCHLAFLY
— The Repackaged Attack On Motherhood – Ed Martin
https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/family/the-repackaged-attack-on-motherhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barbie phenomenon is joined by the female pop star Taylor Swift, whose record-setting concert tour caused an unprecedented meltdown at Ticketmaster. Now the film version has broken the box office record for a concert movie, drawing mostly young women to theaters where they dance on chairs and sing off-key rather than merely watching. Taylor Swift, herself childless and nearly 34 years old, was asked when she turned 30 whether she wants to have children. She curtly replied, “I don’t really think men are asked that question when they turn 30, so I’m not going to answer that now.” For the most part, Swifties have not been attending these concerts on dates with young men. An estimated 90% of these concert fans are women, an imbalance so severe that it has caused havoc with the availability of restrooms at performance venues. The messaging from the media couldn’t be any clearer. They are telling our young women that the path to happiness requires childlessness. This messaging isn’t new. Phyllis Schlafly was exposing these false promises all the way back when Betty Friedan was calling the home a “comfortable concentration camp” back in the 1960s. However, the new packaging on the same old lie shouldn’t be ignored today. We must help our daughters to see that for the vast majority of women, true and lasting fulfillment will be found in marriage and motherhood.)

— You’re never too old to pivot in your career. – Ashton Jackson (COMMENT: Have you pivoted in your career? I did when I was 31 in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. But I soon found out that my Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being far too old to have a successful GAO career. To make that happen, they forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer and they ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the fact that I a) had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year, b) had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) had become a licensed CPA in 1981, g) had become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, 12, and 13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer, who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. They never would have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

Republicans are criticizing President Biden for vacationing in St. Croix during a border crisis, accusing the White House of neglecting the issue. Biden’s trip coincides with an increased focus on a migrant caravan and rising number of border crossings
Vacation-related attacks on presidents are common, and Republicans believe the border issue is politically advantageous in an election year. – JAMES GORDON

— How Texas’ DEI ban is tripping up efforts to help undocumented students. Diversity, equity and inclusion offices often provide resources undocumented students need to make it through college. — Marcela Rodrigues (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not a) because neither of my parents attended college, b) because my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) because my mother never attended high school, d) because I could not run because a bone disease, e) because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, f) because I had partial red/green color blindness, g) because I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes, h) because my ACT score was only 24, and i) because I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. Consequently, I got virtually no help to go to college.)

— Texas Republican Chip Roy Blames Trump For Border ‘Mess’ – Matthew Impelli
https://www.newsweek.com/republican-blame-trump-border-chip-roy-1854243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy recently placed some blame on former President Donald Trump for the current “mess” at the U.S.-Mexico border. During an interview broadcast by CNN on Tuesday, Roy spoke about Trump refusing to attend the string of Republican primary debates and praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

My parents provided me with room and board 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 and the summer of 1969.)
