— Ever-increasingly, Democrats visit the sins of your forefathers on you. What were your ancestors doing in 1880s? On my father’s side, they operated Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side, they operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.

— Democrats crow that “Kamala Harris campaign says it’s raised $540 million and saw a surge of donations during the convention.” To give money to Democrats is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s not unusual to find the streets of downtown Geneva filled with cars, but Sunday brought an entirely different kind of traffic jam to the city’s central district. More than 300 antique and classic cars — some of them exceedingly rare — lined South Third Street from State to South streets as thousands of spectators packed the downtown for a glimpse of them during the Geneva Concours d’Elegance. Car owners from across the country travel to Geneva for the annual event, and a chance to win one of the coveted “Benz” Trophies awarded to the top vehicles.)

— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)

— Democrats call Trump racist; Black Republican says that’s not true. – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: If you are a Republican, why is that? My great great grandfather, my great grandfather, my grandfather, my father, and me have always been Republicans because Republicans fought the Democrats to end slavery.)
https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

Because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year. That is less than what my IRS salary was when I was 23 years old in 1973 in today’s dollars. Since then, I earned three job -related master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), six job-related professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and a job-related professional license (1981).

POLITICO
— State delegations won’t stay at the Trump hotel. The Illinois delegation took the hotel that had a prime view of the former president’s property. – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/08/19/dnc-live-updates-coverage/hotel-politics-00174668
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nearly 5,000 delegates who are visiting Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention are staying in eight hotels in the city’s downtown. We’ve got the list. ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018e-2fcf-d62b-a7df-ffeff6860000 )  Convention organizers have contracted with about 40 hotels to accommodate all the entourages and guests connected to the delegates and their state parties. But one hotel isn’t in the mix: Donald Trump’s Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. It’s not just that it’s a nonunion hotel — a requirement for the Democratic Party when it was looking for a convention town — it’s because of Trump. “Our party stands for unity, hope, and freedom — values that stand in fundamental opposition with everything the Trump name and brand represent,” Emily Soong, a spokesperson for the convention said. When it came time to assign delegations to the different hotels, Illinois picked the Royal Sonesta Chicago Hotel, which looks right at the river — and across from Trump hotel. The Illinois Democrats decided they would “take it on the chin” so that other delegations wouldn’t have to look out their windows to see the giant T-R-U-M-P sign on the side of the building, according to one Democratic insider. That also gives them a clear view of the trolling messages Democrats are projecting onto the building. Last night, my colleague Adam Wren spotted “PROJECT 2025 HQ,” among other messages, being beamed onto the building above that TRUMP sign.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: TONIGHT: Governor Pritzker Soft-Launches 2028 Presidential Campaign. CHICAGO — Last night, Americans heard from Joe Biden, whom elite Democrats unceremoniously removed from the ticket in an undemocratic process. Tonight, voters will listen to presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker, who will use his prime-time speech at the DNC as a stepping stone for a future presidential run – just as he used his time as governor to position himself as a viable national candidate. FIRST: Pritzker traveled to New Hampshire in 2022 to raise his profile and set up a future presidential run. THEN: Pritzker refused to quash rumors that he would leave Illinois to run for president when Democrats launched their soft coup against Joe Biden. THEN: When Kamala Harris was announced as the Democrats’ preferred choice, even though she never received a vote outside of California, Pritzker launched a full-court press campaign to become her vice president. NOW: After failing to earn the nod as the vice-presidential nominee, Pritzker immediately pivoted, making an effort to become the Democrats’ choice for president in 2028. Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement on Pritzker: “JB Pritzker failed Illinois as its governor allowing our state to be overrun by illegal border-crossers, out-of-control crime, billions of dollars in new taxes, and as a result, our great state is in slow decay. Illinois’ residents are leaving in unprecedented numbers due to Illinoisans being the overall highest taxed people in the nation. Businesses are taking flight leaving and Illinois’ citizens and taxpayers are left paying the check. As Pritzker soft-launches his campaign for president, Illinois families are hurting, and Pritzker doesn’t care – our state is just another stepping stone for him to advance his ambition while we are saddled with the heavy effect of his administration’s failed policies. One thing is clear from Pritzker’s prime-time speaking slot — the only way our state will have actual representation is by voting Republican in November.”

— Democrat and RINO employers use DEI to not hire Republicans, to not retain Republicans, to not promote Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors successfully used DEI to force me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Starting in 1980, they successfully used DEI to delay my promotions. After 1986, they successfully used DEI to not promote me anymore. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) long before I was 40 in 1988.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois GOP urges focus on policies, not personalities during party’s day at State Fair. – JEREMY GORNER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/15/illinois-gop-urges-focus-on-policies-not-personalities-during-partys-day-at-state-fair/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans used their day at the State Fair Thursday to blame Democrats for crime, inflation and tax increases while urging a focus on policies, not personality as they head into a November election with a ticket led by presidential nominee Donald Trump, who twice has been overwhelmingly rejected by the state’s voters. New Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi opened a morning meeting by declaring the party will be unified and “will win in November 2024,” while subtly acknowledging the uphill battle for a party that has lost traction with the state’s electorate. “We’re on a mission to elect Trump fans and everyone down ticket,” Salvi told an audience of about 80 people at a joint meeting of the state party’s State Central Committee and County Chair’s Association. “So we’ve got to figure out a way to bring people together. There’s no better way to do that than bridging these gaps.” With Republicans becoming the party of Trump, winning back suburban areas that once consistently carried GOP candidates to victory will be a daunting task. The former president suffered 17-percentage point losses in Illinois during the 2016 and 2020 elections, pushing the state GOP into further irrelevance. Democrats, who hold their national convention in Chicago next week, control all three branches of state government, 14 of the state’s 17 congressional seats and both U.S. Senate seats. Republicans at the fair downplayed Trump’s influence on down-ballot races in recent years, blaming the Democrats for drawing gerrymandered maps in their favor that were then signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker. Republicans also blamed Pritzker for pushing through hundreds of millions of dollars in tax increases in the current state budget and continuing to provide state funding for the influx of migrants coming into the Chicago area from the southern U.S. border. “So, taxes, cost of living, crime, corruption. The most corrupt state in the nation,” Illinois Senate Republican leader John Curran of Downers Grove said in an interview before the GOP’s afternoon programming at the state fairgrounds. “This is what Gov. Pritzker’s Democratic allies have brought to Illinois.” After a slight rain delay, a couple of hundred people gathered for a GOP rally on the director’s lawn of the fairgrounds, where Salvi basted Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as a “trainwreck.” “Think about that convention. They’re about to nominate somebody who didn’t get one single vote,” Salvi said, referring to how Harris was handed the nomination after President Joe Biden quit the race. “What about democracy? You know, in a lot of countries, that would be called a coup! But do you hear anything about that? Nothing. Nada. Crickets. Well, that’s something that we could communicate.” Illinois House Republican leader Tony McCombie of Savanna told the crowd the Democratic Party “wants to destroy small business, hurt our most vulnerable and make families feel that they need to be reliant on government for everything.” “Democrats have been working for years to try to convince the people of Illinois and our nation that the Republican Party does not believe in democracy. But yet, Democrats want noncitizens and felons, I’m sorry, I mean justice-impacted individuals to vote,” McCombie said. Her quip alluded to a new state law championed by progressive Democrats that changes terminology for people convicted of felonies if they’re part of a special diversion program. McCombie did not mention that Trump was convicted of felonies earlier this year in his hush money trial in New York, though his sentencing was postponed after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled former presidents have broad immunity for “official” acts. The former president has two other cases pending, both involving charges that he plotted to steal the 2020 election win from Biden. McCombie said the November election wasn’t just about a presidential race but also about the governor’s race in 2026. While a few Republicans have expressed interest in possibly running, Pritzker has not said whether he will seek a third term. “Our turnout in this race will be instrumental in determining the future leadership for Illinois,” McCombie said. “This election cycle is about us. It’s about us showing up.” Illinois Republicans’ once winning statewide platform of moderation on social issues and fiscal conservatism has gradually been scuttled by a growing embrace of social conservatism, including opposition to gay rights and abortion. After the Thursday morning meeting, Myles Nelson, a GOP committeeman from the Metro East area of Illinois outside St. Louis, said for the state party to make inroads in blue Illinois, it has to convince voters to focus on policies instead of personalities. “We have to focus on the issues that bring those moderates and independents in the suburbs back to us, crime, corruption, costs of living. Go to the grocery store. Go to the gas pump. Everyone is feeling it,” said Nelson, a Trump delegate at last month’s GOP convention in Milwaukee. “And what the people of northern Illinois have to know is that Donald Trump’s policies were right.” Niki Conforti, a Republican who is challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten for his congressional seat in the Chicago suburbs, agreed that focusing on the issues is what should help the GOP regain the support it has lost over the years in the suburbs. “The crime, the cost of living, inflation, those are the issues that people are worried about today and it’s going to drive our people to the polls,” Conforti said. “We didn’t lose it overnight and we’re not going to win it back overnight. But we can make strides with each election cycle and take it back.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from voters who are the following, candidates in Illinois promise to use government to give them even more preference: those who have less money than others and/or are minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. Ever-increasingly, they promise to give those voters a) more DEI, that is, more patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination and/or b) more government assistance, LGBTQ, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or further diminishment of Second Amendment rights. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat Lite if not anti-Trump if not anti-conservative and fail/refuse to promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and 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. Of course, Democrat candidates in Illinois are overjoyed about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

https://cookcountyrecord.com/stories/662728812-judge-evanston-teacher-hasn-t-shown-she-was-harmed-by-d65-s-anti-racism-policies-programs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal judge has tossed, for now, a lawsuit accusing an Evanston school district of illegally promoting racial division and discrimination within their schools through “anti-racism” policies and curriculum, as the judge said the white middle school teacher who brought the action has yet to show that she has been personally harmed by the district’s actions. On Aug. 9, U.S. District Judge John Tharp Jr. dismissed the legal action brought by plaintiff Stacy Deemar against Evanston/Skokie District 65. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning the judge is giving Deemar an opportunity to revise her lawsuit and perhaps address the shortcomings identified by the judge in her legal pleadings. The dismissal order comes after nearly three years of proceedings in federal court in the action.)

Jason Plummer, and Judy Diekelman as well as Vice Chair Joan McCarthy Lasonde and all of our leaders across the state represent the diverse opinions of our party and our state,” Salvi said Wednesday. “This group will broaden our coalition, expand our footprint, and will beat the machine that Democrats like (former Speaker) Mike Madigan and (Gov.) J.B. Pritzker have built.” Salvi took office in July vowing to “make Illinois red again,” and end the party’s “blue funk.” With a woman at the helm of the state GOP and his background as a Filipino- American, “this is a very historic time,” said Del Mar. “This will be the first time the Illinois Republican Party has had a person of color in leadership. “I’m very excited. Kathy has a different personality than I do, she brings different strengths so I think we very much complement each other.” Del Mar, a businessman who ran for lieutenant governor in 2022, was a Republican National Convention delegate in July, and has served as Cook County Republican chairman and Palatine village councilman. The Illinois GOP faces challenges in a heavily Democratic state and recently lost Chair Don Tracy, who blamed party infighting for his resignation. One key to success is to make sure “grass-roots organizations and grass-roots members of the Republican Party have a voice,” Del Mar said. “They’re the people who show up at the monthly meetings, the people that put lawn signs into the ground, that march in the parades. I think for far too long, they’ve been ignored and they’ve been taken for granted.” Del Mar, who campaigned statewide in 2022, hopes to bridge divisions between rural conservative and urban moderate Republicans. “If we can create a relationship where there’s a conversation and people have a better understanding — that adds a lot of value,” Del Mar said, adding he’s visiting downstate Illinois soon. “If you want buy-in from those (rural) counties you have to show up.” Del Mar’s father, a mechanical engineer, immigrated from the Philippines. His mother is a retired nurse of German/Swedish descent who grew up on Chicago’s South Side. “When they start talking about issues like immigration, those things hit home and I can give a personal story,” Del Mar said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chartered buses will bring demonstrators from Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and beyond, said a chief organizer behind planned marches next week, Hatem Abudayyeh, the national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network advocacy group. Abudayyeh said he held a virtual meeting with members across the country to gauge interest in changing direction after Biden stepped aside from seeking the nomination. There was quick consensus, he said. “We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” Abudayyeh said. “Harris represents the administration; she represents Biden. There is nothing that she has expressed independently that tells us she does not support the policies.”)

— ’Idiocracy’ is upon us. – J.A. Frascino
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/08/idiocracy_is_upon_us.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades America functioned as a meritocracy, the land of opportunity with freedom of speech and limited government.  With the recent ascent of the radical left as a political force, these values have undergone erosion by DEI, identity politics, cancel culture, “newspeak”, and government bureaucratic intrusion.  The radical left challenges patriotism, religion, traditional family structure as our raison d’être, our identity.  The resulting divisiveness drives us into ideologic rabbit holes.  Tribalism pervades the culture.  We identify now as liberal or conservative with ideologic chips on our shoulders.  We have evolved into a partisan ideocracy. And now, with the presumptive Democrat ticket in the offing, we are on the brink of evolving into an idiocracy.)

On my father’s side, they worked in brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854, homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township 1854-1964, raised and sold horses in Crete 1864-1874, and operated Crete’s only hardware store 1874-1954. On my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border and then bought that farm and operated it.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Social media influencers got the royal treatment at the White House on Wednesday as President Joe Biden gave a nod to their ability to hold sway with millions of loyal followers. The White House played host to a group of more than 100 influencers, also known as content creators, across a range of media platforms — from chefs and makeup artists to fitness gurus and medical students — to talk about issues including mental health, pay equity and the abuse of artificial intelligence. Biden stopped by to tell the influencers gathered in the Indian Treaty Room in the White House complex: “The fact is, you are the future.” “You’re the source of the news,” he said. “You are the new possibilities. You are the new breakthrough in how we communicate.” Biden added, to laughter: “And that’s why I invited you to the White House, because I’m looking for a job.”)

During that time, 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, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Harris VP pick: “Another Radical Leftist”
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement: “Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November.”)

Previously, they were frustrated by my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Subsequently, they were frustrated by my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

— Democrats ask “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $65,165.

That is because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They wasted what I learned earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) six job-related professional certifications, and c) a job-related professional license. They wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years and for GAO for almost 18 years.

Must commonly, they asked me questions to confirm that I opposed race and gender based preference giving and that I opposed the promotion of a) dependency on government, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights.)

NEWS NATION
— JD Vance’s story an example of meritocracy. – Mike Huckabee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who do not share my demographics, that is, from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.  In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I had to work my way through college, and neither me nor my parents, nor any of my ancestors were ever in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.)
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/jd-vances-story-meritocracy-mike-huckabee/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, pushed back on this, saying he doesn’t think Vance “pretends anything,” citing his military and academic record. “When you work your way through Ohio State, summa cum laude, then go to Yale Law, work your way through that, how do you pretend that?” Huckabee asked on “NewsNation Now.” “You either do it or you don’t.” Huckabee noted that Vance grew up in poverty and wrote about his struggles in his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” To Huckabee, “that’s meritocracy.” “I think a lot of Americans appreciate people who weren’t handed anything but hard luck and made something remarkable out of it,” he said.)

HARVARD LAW REVIEW
— Eventually, everyone’s motivations come out in the wash. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes are involved in politics and/or government to get more preference for themselves, for their wives, for their children, and/or for those who share their demographics. They all blame those who are following for their problems: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, childless, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — Yesterday, Illinois Democrats denied reality voting against condemning Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed cities like Chicago and others across the nation. Every Democrat (except one who lacked the courage to vote on the position) voted down the resolution, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Democrats in this state have told us to believe our lying eyes so many times, they’ve started to do it themselves. From denying unquestionable outmigration numbers to gaslighting families with tax hikes they call tax cuts, the lies have become so extreme that Democrats in this state actually believe Vice President Harris’s handling of the border was not an unmitigated disaster. Under the Biden/Harris administration, border interactions have skyrocketed, reaching an all time peak of 250,000 just this past December. Democrats who voted to applaud Vice President Harris’s border policy should know that her failures are your failures this November.“)

— How Vice President Kamala Harris got started in politics. – William La Jeunesse
https://www.yahoo.com/news/vice-president-kamala-harris-got-165231260.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Kamala Harris got her start in politics at age 29, when she was just out of law school, at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she met a 60-year-old kingmaker: California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown — arguably then the state’s most powerful politician. Brown, while estranged from his wife, remained married. However, socially, he and Harris were seen everywhere and never denied being close. Brown appointed Harris to several well-paid state commissions: the state Insurance Commission, the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later, the California Medical Assistance Commission. Harris came from a learned household. She was born in Oakland, California, to an Indian-born mother and a Jamaican-born father. Both were professors — one at Berkeley, the other at Stanford. Harris’ parents divorced when she was 7. Following her parents’ split, she moved to Illinois, then to Quebec, Canada, alongside her sister and mother. After high school, Harris attended Howard University, where she joined the debate team and claimed to demonstrate “almost every weekend.” Later, she attended Hastings College of Law, where, like many of her classmates, she failed her first attempt at the California bar exam, but she passed the second time. In 1998, Harris took a job at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, but was later demoted after opposing a measure to try juveniles as adults for felony crimes. After quitting, Harris took a job in the city attorney’s office, and with Brown’s help, raised $600,000 to defeat her former boss to become San Francisco DA. The city’s campaign ethics board fined Harris $30,000 – the highest fine ever levied at the time – for violating campaign finance limits. “I made a very conscious and deliberate decision to become a prosecutor,” she said during a 2003 debate. “I think San Francisco wants a progressive district attorney who is also effective.” As San Francisco DA, she became a controversial figure for opposing the death penalty — even for cop killers — and pursued three-strikes convictions only when they involved violent felonies. After a man murdered officer Isaac Espinoza and Harris refused to pursue the death penalty, Harris received a rare rebuke from Sen. Dianne Feinstein. “I think this district attorney made a very big mistake. As a matter of fact, if I had known she had said that in her campaign, I never would have supported her,” Feinsein said at the time. As district attorney, Harris prosecuted marijuana crimes but rarely sought prison time. In 2010, she became the first woman to serve as California’s attorney general, where she opposed the state’s ban on affirmative action and asked the state Supreme Court to “reaffirm its decision that public colleges and universities may consider race as one factor in admissions decisions.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled affirmative action unconstitutional. As AG, she prioritized environmental crimes, obtaining millions in fines from oil companies for failing to monitor underground storage leaks. In 2016, she ran for U.S. senator and won by outmaneuvering Rep. Loretta Sanchez for the union and Latino vote. Harris also had the support of then-President Obama, who called her brilliant, dedicated and tough, adding, “She also happens to be, by far, the best-­looking attorney general in the country.” Harris’ appeal is partly demographic, but her law enforcement background also made her an appealing running mate in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests and rising crime in some cities. In 2019, Harris dismissed criticism of her record as a prosecutor for jailing marijuana offenders and even joked about her own previous cannabis use. “Have you ever smoked?” she was asked on the “Breakfast Club” radio show in 2019. “I have, and I inhaled. I did it, I did it, and it was a long time ago,” she admitted. As district attorney, however, she pushed for higher bail for gun crimes and sought minimum 90-day sentences for possession of concealed or loaded weapons. Later, as a presidential candidate, Harris said she would pursue universal background checks and a ban on assault-style rifles. “I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” she said during a CNN town hall in December 2019. CNN anchor Jake Tapper also suggested to Harris that her “Medicare-for-all” proposal might eliminate private health insurance. Harris’ defense was, “The idea is, everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them giving you approval, going through the paperwork … let’s eliminate that. Let’s move on.” Her signature tax proposal cost an estimated $3 billion. It would have provided a $3,000 tax credit for individuals and $6,000 for married couples. She also proposed lowering pay disparities by requiring large companies to pay men and women in similar jobs equally. Another proposal aimed at raising teacher pay by $13,500. In a 2020 campaign video she explained her economic approach, saying, “It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” As a candidate for president in 2020, Harris dropped out before the Iowa caucuses. As a candidate, some viewed her policies as too far left, where she seemed to favor big government to solve income and gender inequality.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal and Illinois Democrat candidates, elected officials, and party leaders furiously promote their party’s platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative, but far too many Illinois Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders fail/refuse to promote their party’s platform. Consequently Illinois Republican candidates lose elections. According to Illinois Democrats, Illinois Republican candidates can win if they officially become Democrat Lite candidates, that is, if they officially become RINO candidates, that is, if they officially dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, if they official join the Democrats in promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and race and gender based preference giving. To what extent do the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct promote the aforesaid planks in the Republican Party platform?

— Democrats ask “What pushed President Biden to withdraw from the reelection race?” What pushed you to make big decisions? According to my Democrat GAO superiors, their threats and the adverse actions that they had taken against me had nothing to do with my decision to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. Their “offer” ended on September 30, 1997 and I would not be eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They made it extremely clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would make my next 6 years a living hell. Their threat to constructively downgrade me was the least of it. They had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, b) never promoted me to GS-14 and delayed my promotions to GS-13, 12, and 11, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my earning a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job-related professional license (CPA) in 1981. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my knowledge of IRS that I had acquired 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. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the adverse actions that they have taken against me including removing me from the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee and ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.

DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
— DuPage County GOP Statement on Biden Withdrawal
https://dupagegop.com/
(PRESS RELEASE: During the debate a few weeks ago, it became evident to all of us what the Democratic Party elite have known for some time: Joe Biden is unfit for the presidency. Only when this became universally apparent did the Democratic Party elite like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and other Washington insiders decide to pressure Biden to withdraw, thereby disenfranchising the millions of Democratic primary voters who backed him. In the next few days, we will see these same elites, who have incessantly preached about “saving democracy,” abandon our country’s democratic principles by imposing their preferred presidential candidate on the American electorate.)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/kamala-harris-running-mates-democratic-presidential-ticket-rcna162848
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker, 59, was an active Biden campaign surrogate, traveling to battleground states to stump for him. He founded a nonprofit committee, Think Big America, to advocate for abortion rights and to combat extremism, with a focus on battleground states. Pritzker, a second-term governor who is popular in the state, has been outspoken about protecting women’s reproductive rights and has held up Illinois as a beacon for women seeking access to care. Pritzker has signed a host of progressive initiatives into law, including a ban on assault weapons, ghost guns and switches; an increase in the minimum wage; a measure to enshrine abortion protections into law; and measures to legalize cannabis and expunge records. He has invested in early childhood education, working toward universal preschool in the state. Pritzker has also demonstrated considerable political savvy, having landed the 2024 Democratic National Convention in his state after repeated lobbying. Pritzker is widely considered to be a future presidential contender. As a billionaire who has self-financed his campaigns in the past, he is positioned to effortlessly step into a national campaign and immediately be flush with cash. In a statement issued after Biden’s announcement, Pritzker didn’t address whether he would run for president or endorse Harris.)

Cheatle, 53, unveiled her marching orders in the Secret Service’s 2023-2027 strategic plan, demanding agents to be “focused on achieving excellence through talent, technology and diversity,” documents reviewed by The Post show. “We must embrace diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) across the agency,” wrote Cheatle, a longtime friend of First Lady Jill Biden who was plucked in 2022 from her previous job as global security boss at PepsiCo by President Biden to be the second woman to lead the federal agency. “DEIA must be demonstrated by all employees — leading by example — through ‘every action every day.’”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/sherifew/2024/07/21/donald-trumps-shooter-a-product-of-government-schools-indoctrination-n2642218
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden and others are urging Americans not to make assumptions about motive, but we are all eager to know — why — what would cause a young man to want to assassinate Donald Trump? I instantly think of his young age; not long out of high school having had his head recently pumped full of leftist indoctrination. With Critical Marxist theories intended to pit people against one another, and so-called “social justice” indoctrination happening in early grades and intensifying over time, children are taught to hate themselves, others and their country. So, someone who loves our country and is committed to making it great again is an obvious target for “social justice” at any cost. We saw violence, looting, burning and even murder following George Floyd’s death with young people rioting in the streets, destroying communities unfettered by law enforcement and media justifying their actions. With inaction, we told young people violence, lawlessness and in some cases, murder is justified in the name of “social justice.” We see it on college campuses with antisemitic protestors yelling “Death to America.” These young people are either foreign terrorists who should be deported or they are domestic terrorists that need to be on a watchlist and investigated for treason. Although Caucasian herself, some pages of the Nashville transgender shooter’s manifesto expressed her hatred for White people and she specifically claimed her victims had White privileges. This is the nonsense they teach in government schools.  Another thing I would wager these young, violent criminals have in common is having been medicated throughout their school experience and on into adulthood with stimulants and psychotropic medications linked to violence. A common thread among shooters is the use of medications prescribed to treat mental illness, especially among young assailants. The Nashville transgender shooter was under care for an emotional disorder and Trump’s would-be-assassin is reported to have been treated for depressive disorder. These young criminals are medicated most of their childhood with Adderall later combined with anti-depressants, and often hormones contrary to their biology, which is a cocktail for violence, hallucinations, suicide and homicide. School shootings have more than doubled in the last ten years following the full implementation of the Common Core standards. These national standards begin teaching children to advocate for change in society in pre-kindergarten grades and rachets up through high school burdening students with the responsibility of being social justice warriors. Since George Floyd’s death and the call to defund school police officers, school shootings have doubled with 35 incidents already in 2024. During this time many government schools embraced the Black Lives Matter movement and replaced school police officers with counselors and social workers leaving students vulnerable. Just before the assassination attempt, Trump’s Platform was released with real limitations on the far left’s transformative agenda pushing Marxism, LBGTQ+ ideology (with emphasis on the “T”), White privilege and anti-American propaganda. The following are three of 20 planks in Trump’s Platform, which he pledges to achieve very quickly after the election with the help of a Republican Congress: Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children. Keep men out of women’s sports. Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again. The paradox is glaring in that these very policy positions, which may have influenced the shooter to attempt to murder the president, could be some of the solutions to ending the evil and hate that influences children in government schools. While we continue to seek answers as to why so many young people are prone to violence and particularly murder in today’s culture, I would pray we can find some good that evolves from evil. I believe the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has fostered unity in our country, much like after 9/11. As much as the media and government schools stoke the fires that divide our citizens, this ill-fated shooting caused Trump to get back up and call for Americans to keep fighting — to save our country! Trump is a uniter and many who have always voted Democrat are uniting behind Trump despite differences on some policies. His bravery and God’s willingness to spare his life are just the right medicine for a nation that is hemorrhaging from division. I pray God will continue to use Donald Trump to heal our land and end the indoctrination of children in government schools.)

— Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Plans to Remove George Washington Statue from City Hall. – STEPHEN DAVIS (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn all those who immigrated to America before slavery was abolished. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois, they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and they never did discriminate against anyone.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: He also addressed speculation that the removal is connected to growing concerns over historical figures who owned slaves, a reason cited for the removal of many statues of founding fathers from public spaces in recent years. . .The decision has sparked outrage among some members of the community and even members of the Chicago City Council. Council member Nicholas Sposato, who chairs the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Special Events, compared this move to the controversial removal of Christopher Columbus statues from two parks in the city. “When does this stop — the redoing everything and eliminating everything? I just don’t get it,” Sposato said. “He’s George Washington. He risked everything. We are who we are because of this man. He could have just stood down and not get involved with the [Revolutionary] war and came here and lived a good life. But he fought for who we are. He should be honored all over the place. Next, are we going to change the name of the streets” Sposato continued, mentioning that there are streets named Washington, Jefferson and Monroe. “When does it stop?”)
— Microsoft Terminates its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Team – Stephen Davis (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action, DEI, and up-or-out to waste my career and to get rid of me. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 and 32. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

BOSTON GLOBE
— If there has been any reduction in illegal immigration, it is solely because of fear that Trump will be elected. Citizens of foreign countries come to America illegally and stay in America illegally because Democrats give them massive government assistance, that is, Democrats give them massive welfare, that is, free housing, free food, free clothes, free medical care, free education, free cars, etc.
