DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Towns to go all out on July 4 for America’s 250th year. DD: Since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton in 1999, I have encouraged Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to walk in Wheaton Independence Day parades. In 2003, the day after all the announced Republican candidates for U.S. Senate attended (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) had walked in the parade, they all attended a picnic that I had organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. In 2005, I started raising $2,500/year from Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Each year I would hand-deliver 500 parade flyers to the homes and businesses along the parade route. In 2007, I raised $2,000 for an elephant to walk behind Roskam in the parade. But my critics/opponents ended that in 2021 by having the Wheaton Park District stop parade and fireworks sponsorships. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take many other adverse actions against me. They want to de-politized the parade, that is, they want to keep Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders out of it.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, the Fourth of July is not just a day, but a state of the mind, to borrow a line from another holiday movie. . .The Wheaton Park District will usher in the Fourth with a $100,000 fireworks and drone show, or $50,000 for fireworks and $50,000 for drones, on Friday, July 3. The devices fly up to 400 feet. “I make sure it is something spectacular,” said James, who designs the dual production with vendor Mad Bomber Fireworks. “Across the board, everyone’s saying let’s make this a pretty awesome Fourth of July,” James said. . .Free entry is being offered to nonprofits that roll out parade floats. The Wheaton Park District is also drumming up participation in the Fourth of July parade with new, lower rates for community and neighborhood groups. . .There’s even merch: commemorative T-shirts and hats bearing the City of Wheaton America 250 logo designed by student artist Asher Boriss (the city does not receive any profit from the sale of apparel). Mayor Phil Suess championed a sweet idea: an ice cream social. The city, in conjunction with Kilwins and Kimmer’s Ice Cream, will provide 1,776 scoops during the municipal band concert July 9. . .The city also has made an effort to mark the 250th with “things that are going to be lasting,” Suess said. So there’s a newly planted “Liberty Tree” outside city hall. Both Wheaton and Glen Ellyn have sponsored new murals depicting significant landmarks. “People appreciate freedom, they appreciate liberty, and they appreciate self-determination,” Suess said. Keller certainly does. He reads the dedication tags attached to the flags, planted by volunteers in the Wheaton park. . .Rudy Keller oversees the setup for the Field of Honor, a display of American flags at Seven Gables Park in Wheaton. New this year: A car show and cupcakes for the nation’s 250th birthday.)

Illinois State Board of Elections campaign finance reports show the money was spent at a business called Cruisin’ Canines. The reason given in the reports? “Care of dependent family member (dog).”)

— Signs it’s time to leave your first job. DD: What was your first job after college? When I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 in 1970, potential employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted. Further, they were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, I had the stigma of having been a federal employee who had been forced to resign. I had to have a job. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was from Firestone Stores for a sales job that did not really require a college degree. My Chicago Heights store boss would never had hired me, but his boss had assigned me to him. He did not have a college degree. He refused to let me start until after I passed a probationary period in Indiana. He disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft, my being Protestant, my being German American, my having ancestors who had been in America since 1844, and my living in Crete. Under him, I saw that my Firestone career was bleak, if not nonexistent. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 1971. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely, if not violently, fired me because I had accepted that offer. I had to have a job. So I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was from IRS to be a Revenue Officer.

I had deducted graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1978.

They outrageously, disgustingly, falsely, and unethically ignored the fact a) that my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take the courses, b) that the course descriptions and my position descriptions show that the courses are deductible, and c) that I had stated in my applications that I wanted to take the courses to maintain and improve my IRS job skills. They would not have disallowed the courses a) if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran and/or b) if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

According to them, my wife and I could do that a) because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, b) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, and c) because I benefitted tremendously from Republican discrimination against Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American ,and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.

The foreign-born share of the population went from 4.7% in 1970 to over 15% today. The non-Hispanic white American share of the population over that period went from 84% to 58%.
