They disallowed my job-related graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and my job-related graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, female, minority, or veteran. I should write a book about that. Overwhelmingly, those who side with my Democrat IRS superiors are Democrats, minorities, females, and/or veterans a) who never took job-related graduate courses and/or did not have to pay for those courses.)
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/12/06/dem-sen-coons-legitimate-case-irs-has-abused-audits-but-it-needs-more-agents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that “there is a legitimate case to be made that, in some instances in the past, the IRS has overused its audit authority” but defended additional IRS funding enacted by the Biden administration without legislative guarantees it won’t be used to audit taxpayers making under $400,000. While discussing increased funding for the IRS, co-host Joe Kernen asked, “You don’t worry about weaponizing the IRS again, Senator? You saw what happened. You were there for Lois Lerner, weren’t you? Maybe you weren’t.”)

CENTER SQUARE
— DeSantis: Trump is too old to be president – Casey Harper (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) demonized, denigrated, and condemned my federal career and b) stressed that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. In 1973 when I was 25 years old, my Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed me to be too old to ever be promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. The Navy equivalent is Commander. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. Nevertheless, I did get promoted to GS-13 in 1986 when I was 32 after I had a) worked for GAO for almost 7 years, b) worked for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. What do DeSantis supporters say about that? Unlike me, DeSantis became a veteran when he was 26. Like me, DeSantis did not earn a master’s degree until he was 27. DeSantis ended his Navy Reserve service in 2019 when he was 41 as a Lieutenant Commander. The GS equivalent is GS-12. I made GS-12 in 1974 when I was 25.)

— Map: Illinois Underground Railroad historical sites, plus what to know before you go – Darcel Rockett, Tina E. Akouris and Claire Malon (COMMENT: What is your hometown? My relative Tim Piepenbrink is the Vice-President of the Crete Historical Society and Museum. My ancestors on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. They sold that farm in 1864 and bought 10 acres just northeast of downtown Crete and raised and sold horses. Then they operated Crete’s only hardware store at the northeast corner of Main & Exchange. My parents and I lived in an apartment above that store 1948-1954. Then we lived at 1286 Wood Street that my grandfather had built on that 10 acres in 1926. My father lived in that house until he died suddenly in 1969, my mother until she died in 2016, and my brother until he died suddenly last year. I lived in that house 1954-1972.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Congregational Church and Cemetery. The National Park Service added this church property and cemetery to its Network to Freedom listings in 2018. The church is the sole existing south suburban building associated with the Underground Railroad. Church members aided freedom seekers traveling through Illinois, and the area is known for having passed one of the earliest anti-slavery resolutions in the state. . .The cemetery is also part of the Network to Freedom, as key players in the abolition movement are buried in the cemetery, including Samuel Cushing. Address: 550-570 W. Exchange St. . .Since early 2022, efforts have been underway to turn the church into the Crete Historical Museum, thanks to efforts by the Crete Area Historical Society. . .While the cemetery is open to the public year-round, appointments are required to visit the church.

— The system worked during Watergate. This time around, I am not so sure. – Laura Washington (COMMENT: While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I was one of its extremely few Republican employees. Durning and after Watergate, my Democrat IRS superiors a) disallowed my travel vouchers, b) disallowed my education deductions, c) ignored, dismissed, and belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and d) made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13.)

In 2004 the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) rudely ended my service as its webmaster, rudely ended my bid to serve as its Treasurer, and rudely refused to make me an IRP State Convention delegate. In 2006, the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) rudely almost censured me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2007, ICRC rudely ended my membership on its Steering Committee. In 2010, MTRO again rudely ended my service as its webmaster. In 2012, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois rudely ended my service as its chairman. In 2015, MTRO rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021, RINOs who ran Wheaton rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.)

SPRINGFIELD NEWS LEADER
— Want to run as a Republican in Christian County? You’ll have to prove yourself first. – Marta Mieze (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. Far too many candidates run as Republicans but reject many, most, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual 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. Far too many of those candidates destroy Republicans like me who support those planks.)
https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2023/12/04/christian-county-republicans-among-committees-adopting-vetting-process/71742609007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those wanting to run for office in Christian County as Republicans are now required to undergo a vetting process. While those leading the new effort want to see it expanded state-wide, some counties and the Missouri Republican Party remain cautious. Don Carriker, chairman of the Christian County Republican Central Committee, told the News-Leader the goal of vetting candidates is to make the Republican brand stronger and gain more voters that he said the party has lost because of a lack of strength and cohesion. Without the vetting process, Carriker said candidates can simply run with an “R” by their name on the ballot to gain voter support in red counties without actually holding values that align with the party. “The job of the party is not to deceive people by letting people put an ‘R’ by their name when they’re really not a Republican,” he said. The vetting process will be proctored and include an “objective review” of each candidate’s background, a 25-question multiple choice “values survey” based on the state party platform and will require candidates to sign a statement pledging their allegiance to both the state and federal Republican Party platforms and constitutions, according to a news release. Those who refuse to go through vetting or fail the process will not have their filing fees accepted. Incumbents and those who have held office in the past will have their voting records reviewed.)

— Republicans suckered into expelling George Santos and the most conservative voting record in NY: ‘To hell with this place’ – Miranda Devine
https://nypost.com/2023/12/03/opinion/republicans-suckered-into-expelling-george-santos-and-the-most-conservative-voting-record-in-ny/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You don’t have to approve of George Santos to understand it should have been left to his constituents in Long Island and Queens to decide on his suitability to remain in Congress. Nonetheless, despite a slim majority in the House and crucial votes looming as they head into an election year, 105 Republicans were suckered by moral vanity into expelling one of their own Friday. The 35-year-old gay son of Brazilian immigrants, Santos had the most conservative voting record of the entire New York delegation, and now he is gone, taking his vote with him. “To hell with this place,” he said as he exited the US Capitol after the vote, vowing revenge on the former colleagues who had turned on him. Perfect. Just what Republicans need: more friendly fire. Who knows who will fill his place in the Democratic district he miraculously flipped last year? Gov. Hochul has to hold a special election in the next couple of months, and you can bet that Democrats will use all their wiles to regain a seat that they used to take for granted.)

— Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of ‘anti-racism’ – M.B. Mathews (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and those jobs. My critics/opponents have always stressed that the jobs I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/12/making_a_silk_purse_from_the_crimeridden_rubble_of_antiracism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism. But racism does not account for these failures. Failure accounts for these failures: Failure to educate. Failure to instill a work ethic. Failure to be good and to do good. Failure to teach respect and good manners to young children. Failure to revere and promote healthy two-parent families. Failure to discourage sexual profligacy. Failure to demand excellence. Failure to reject profanity and embrace decency and honor. Instead, too many in the Black community have embraced the dysfunction within the Black culture with pride, claiming a unique historical experience that they say no one understands but other Black people. It has been long enough making excuses for Black failures and it is past time for the respectable Black people of America to rise up against the jealous race-baiters and say “No more.” There is nothing preventing Black success that a Judeo-Christian perspective cannot address successfully. Love your neighbor means don’t steal, don’t do the crime. Be nice to each other. Respect the property and lives of others. Be on time (terribly unfashionable among “anti-racists”), work hard (ditto), have a plan to succeed, and above all get educated at a school that does not indoctrinate but educates, which excludes most urban government schools. Unasked-for advice: Do not respect, honor, or adopt the malignant principles of those who teach anti-white racism in the guise of Critical Race Theory, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, or “Anti-Racism” (anti-white racism with an oxymoronic name.) When a group blames others, they will not succeed because they are always relying on those others to change. When the blamed ones don’t change, the professional victims believe that it’s perfectly okay to steal, cheat, lie, and break other people’s stuff in the name of reparations. That is not the path to success or to a better place in life, although it is a temporary frisson of schadenfreude. Crime in Blue cities is off the charts because Soros-appointed district attorneys have banded together to excuse crime committed by Black perpetrators. This harms Black people first, then Black neighborhoods, Black aspirations and in itself is criminal. When you teach theft, you get theft. When you get theft, good businesses leave your neighborhood. When they do leave, they take the economic base with them, and who gets hurt? Innocent, freedom-loving, decent people get hurt because they’re often stuck there with the crime they tolerated. The raped businesses will leave and set up shop where they are welcomed. No one is helped by trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: The sow’s ear cannot up and leave the sow. And silk is never made from putrefying pig flesh. The time is now for decent Black people everywhere to confront those among them who are committing the crimes. Refund the police. Create deterrence to crime by actually prosecuting it, from Broken Windows to retail theft, to murder. Don’t be Chicago, LA, or NYC. And for God’s sake, stop blaming others for the failures of your own house. Blame is not a strategy that keeps very long without starting to rot.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, recognize reality. Just because you’re running a company doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies that are as aggressive a threat to your economic well-being as the UAW is to the Big Three. Trust me, your enemies are just as real and more diverse. You have direct competitors, existing ones, and those studying your business in search of vulnerabilities. Your enemies can also include regulators who are bent on limiting your ability to operate freely; retailers who want to crush your margins; and consumers who are badmouthing you on social media for one reason or another. Even–or especially–the trends can be your enemies. If you are in the preservative business, you know whereof I speak. Once you frame your leadership mission that way, you can develop strategies to attack and deflect your enemies, based on your strengths. As I followed Fain’s moves, it struck me that he might have hip-pocketed a copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. This legendary approach to strategy and warfare was written around 400 B.C.E. and is still followed today. Take this quote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” So my question for you, as a business leader, is: Do you really and truly know your enemies, declared and undeclared, as well as you should? I doubt it. We don’t spend a lot of time thinking about winning in a world of enemies. One reason is that the “enemy frame” is inconsistent with how we think about business today. We dream about our “why” and our purpose. We have become so mission-y and vision-y that we forget the hard-knuckled street fight that business often is. That’s why Fain’s lesson is so important. I don’t believe that business leaders spend nearly enough time thinking long and hard, about who their enemies are, what motivates them, and where their vulnerabilities lie. As a corollary, I don’t believe business leaders spend enough time, introspectively, on “knowing themselves”–the other half of Sun Tzu’s formulation.)

— Why the paucity of men on campus is a problem and the beginnings of how to respond – Clarence Page (COMMENT: Earning college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses takes lots of time and effort. I know that because I earned four college degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. As employers give more and more and more preference to females, that is, as employers discriminate more and more and more against males, more and more and more males are discouraged from earning college degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. But for me, it was the opposite — it motivated me to earn them. I should write a book about the tremendous preference that my federal employers (GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969) gave my female superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. All my female coworkers who my superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had no or fewer professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like I had. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (Loyola-business), 31 (DePaul-accounting), and 48 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant). I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32.)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Illinois Republicans criticize Chicago mayor’s rhetoric over border crisis – Andrew Hensel
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1aee1112-8f0e-11ee-8e9d-234e6460e630.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Johnson on Tuesday criticized Republicans in regards to the border and suggested that the “right wing” was dishing out payback. “It is abysmal, and it’s an affront for everything that is good about this country, for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened 400 years ago,” Johnson said. Johnson continued by questioning the sanctity of the party. “That’s what this particular party has been about,” Johnson said. “This is the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the Capitol. It’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the Civil War. It’s raggedy, it’s disrespectful,” Johnson said. “It’s disrespectful, its mean spirited, it’s an unclean spirit.” Illinois Republicans responded to Johnson’s words, with some suggesting a history lesson for the mayor. “His statements are not even grounded in reality. I would recommend a history lesson for the mayor of Chicago, good grief,” state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, told The Center Square. “To say Republicans don’t accept the results of the Civil War, I believe Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.” State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, R-Barrington Hills, fired back at Johnson. “The Republican Party was founded to end government Bureaucracy and to end slavery. Brandon Johnson and J.B. Pritzker are both obviously not students of history and are hoping many of their followers never get off Tik-Tok to discover accurate historical information,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “Independents, moderate Democrats, and Republicans are equally appalled at their recent statements.” Last month, Pritzker said supporting non-citizen arrivals has nothing to do with sanctuary status and the state would remain open. “Sanctuary status has to do with undocumented immigrants who are here,” Pritzker said. “Not people who are asylum seekers who are in a whole different category.” According to U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-New York, Democratic leadership and the inaction of President Joe Biden in regard to the border is what led to this influx of people and the use of taxpayer dollars to cover the costs. “This is just one small glimpse at a completely avoidable humanitarian disaster brought not by big bad Republicans in the House but by an administration that refuses to enforce our immigration laws and has flung the door wide open at our southern border,” Langworthy said. Johnson said the Republican backlash comes from targeted hate. “This is nothing new,” Johnson said. “Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted Democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after Democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.” Illinois state Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Johnson should not be taken seriously. “Mayor Johnson is a clown. He is not a serious person, and he does not deserve a response to his inane babbling,” Halbrook said in a statement. “He was elected thanks to the massive financial backing of the very public sector union leadership that has made Chicago’s finances a complete disaster. If Mayor Johnson is the answer, it must have been an extremely stupid question.” Last week, Chicago saw 25 more buses of migrants arrive. New York is seeing more than 2,500 arrivals a week.)

— Robert Jacobsen, DuPage County historian, canning industry executive, dies at 92 – Bob Goldsborough (COMMENT: I had the honor of serving with Jacobsen on the Milton Township Cemeteries Authority 2001-2004.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obituaries/ct-robert-jacobsen-obit-20231120-6jte4u4ygnftdpgzqad4v7k5yu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of Jacobsen’s greatest achievements started about 2000, when he became the chairman of the newly formed Milton Township Cemeteries Authority. Under state law, townships have the right to declare cemeteries abandoned and then take control of them, and in the late 1990s, Milton Township, which includes unincorporated areas just outside Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Carol Stream, formed a cemetery authority to take over and restore three abandoned cemeteries, Jewell Grove, Pleasant Hill and St. Stephen. Jacobsen recruited volunteers to help him restore the cemeteries, including clearing overgrowth, adding signage, fixing headstones and planting prairie grasses. Jacobsen also began holding annual family remembrance days at each cemetery. “Bob brought dignity and history to those families buried there,” said Wheaton Bank and Trust President Bob Hutchinson, a longtime friend and former neighbor. “He cared deeply about our local history and engaged with many stakeholders to preserve it.” “In these cemeteries are the pioneers that built our community,” Jacobsen told the Tribune in 2010. “I really believe in my heart that people in our community want to know about our history, and it’s just a question of how do you get them involved. The joy of this cemetery activity is that so many people have gotten involved, and so many people have supported a love of history. Volunteers can’t do it all, and you need institutions to lead the way for volunteers to step up.” Marty Keller, a former Milton Township trustee, called Jacobsen “a generational character who both accomplished much and inspired many.” “His dedication to preserving our history led him to write books, restore cemeteries and participate in countless Milton Township activities,” Keller said. “Bob reminded us that few things worth fighting for can be completed quickly. It takes time and commitment by many citizens to create a lasting impact. He was a warm and caring man who possessed a strength of character that will be greatly missed.” . . . Jacobsen also served as a Milton Township Republican committeeman.)

Because I have complained since the 1960s about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and up-or-out, those who I have complained about have retaliated against me severely. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a 21% pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

According to my critics/opponents, all the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me were absolutely justified. Further, according to them, instead of me, GAO, IRS, and the Post Office should hired those who were minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Further, according to them, I was grossly overpaid because I should not have been promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, or 1986. Further, according to RINOs, the federal government should be and it is the “employer of last resort” and it should be and it is the dumping ground for those who lack what it takes to succeed in the private sector.)

— Evanston School District Offers Classes Separated by Race to ‘Shrink Learning Gap’ – Laura Wellington
https://www.westernjournal.com/school-district-offers-classes-separated-race-shrink-learning-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To merely exist as a white person today is to hold black people and Latino people down. That is what the liberals and progressives want everyone to believe as they blame “whiteness” as the primary cause for the educational inequality in our nation. The fallacy is being escalated by Evanston Township High School located in Evanston, Illinois. New classes are being held that are reintroducing segregation into the school and our nation in a whole new way. The goal is to “shrink [the] learning gap” that is occurring between black, Latino, and white students, The Wall Street Journal reported. The cause of this gap is being blamed on the existence of whiteness in the school. Public school officials believe that whiteness is a distraction to black and Latino students. These students need it to go away in order to perform, I guess. As a result optional courses have been set up to exclude the white element. The fact that they are optional bypasses any legal issues that could arise due to antidiscrimination laws, according to education lawyers. Called affinity classes, 200 black and Latino kids have voluntarily signed up for math classes and a writing seminar made up of kids of a single race taught by a teacher of color, according to the Journal. These classes separate white students from black and Latino students. It’s a band-aid solution, in my opinion, much easier to latch onto than the actual root causes of black and Latino students’ under performance. Black and Latino parents and kids in the school district should be furious. These children are being sold short and set up to fail under the guise of eliminating prejudice. They are being excused from reality and the very field that will challenge them to achieve in a safe environment, so they can go out and successfully conquer the real, much tougher world. Unless, that is, the intent is to keep the black population and Latino population in their own boxes, away from their white counterparts and competition. They will forever trail behind as a result, in the name of social, cultural progress — elective enslavement as a result of being sold a bill of goods. We will also begin to reverse course on cultural acceptance at the hands of heightened inequality. This new format is a far cry from offering optional programs, like African American studies, from which all can benefit. This is blatant segregation and finger pointing towards the white population of students.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Will Democrat leaders publish the names and addresses of all those whose ancestors were enslavers? Should they be the first to pay reparations? Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. None of my ancestors were enslavers, but nevertheless, because of my demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), Democrat and RINO leaders have made me pay reparations big time, that his, they have made me pay the price of AA and DEI big time.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— During the last two days, I took time out from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and hand delivered my precinct letter to the homes in the newly drawn DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 that have at least one registered Republican voter. In that letter, I announced my candidacy for Republican Precinct Committeeman. So far, I have delivered to the homes that have been in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and those homes west of the Illinois Prairie Path that were in that precinct 1999-2015. I had great political conversations with voters who were out raking leaves. So far, I have 17 signatures on my nominating petitions. The new Precinct 59 extends to the south and has 370 registered Republican voters in it. I am discouraged from circulating nominating petitions for Republican candidates because far too many of them have blamed me for their defeats. I should write a book about those candidates who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

— What it means to be an American – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/what_it_means_to_be_an_american.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unfortunately, there are no Founders around today, and our own government has steadfastly attempted to turn as many of us as possible into dependents who rely on the government for…almost everything. Many have traded freedom for illusionary security, free will for promise of more “free” stuff to come.)
— Republican Disarray on the House Speakership Nothing New – Bill Hansmann (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. For more than any one person, GAO works for the Speaker of the House. Democrat Tip O’Neill was the Speaker while I worked for GAO 1980-1987, Democrat Jim Wright 1987-1989, Democrat Tom Foley 1989-1995, and Republican Newt Gingrich 1995-1997. While O’Neill was Speaker, GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO and delayed my promotions to GS-12 and GS-13. While Wright was Speaker, GAO threw me off audits of IRS. While Foley and was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. While Gingrich was Speaker, GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old; my Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious that Gingrich dramatically cut GAO’s budget 1995-1997. Gingrich was the Speaker while my lawsuit against GAO was pending 1998-1999 and Republican Dennis Hastert 1999-2005. My critics/opponents have always used against me that neither Gingrich nor Hastert ever came to my defense. Further, my critics/opponents have used against me that since 1980, with one exception in 1989, my Republican U.S. Representatives and my Republican U.S. Senators have never come to my defense.)

— ALL OF THE FRONT PAGE: $20,000 grant from CHA puts homeownership within residents’ reach. A single mother who earlier this month closed on an East Garfield Park single-family home became the CHA’s new down payment program’s first recipient. – Elvia Malagón (COMMENT: Where did the downpayment(s)come from for the real estate that you bought? When I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 years old in 1972, it came from what I had earned working for IRS and for Firestone Stores. When I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, it came from want I earned working for IRS. When I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, it came from the proceeds from selling my studio condo. When my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978, it came from her savings. When my wife and I had 915 Cove Court in Wheaton built in 1984, it came from the proceeds of selling 1017 East Harrison. When we bought a small unit at Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville in late 2020, we paid for it with our savings. When we bought a much larger unit at Iron Gate early this year, we paid for it with proceeds of selling our smaller unit and with money that I inherited in 2022.)

They’ve been voting for the Democrats for the last 10 years and they’re off that,” he said.)

https://wirepoints.org/newsguard-part-of-the-government-media-censorship-complex-promoted-by-chicago-tribune-to-combat-misinformation-wirepoints/
(FRM THE ARTICLE: A report by Media Research Center found showed that NewsGuard has for years rated left-leaning, establishment news sites consistently higher than conservative news sites. I can personally attest to that bias. I subscribed to NewsGuard over recent months to see for myself. Its bias is brazen in its 0 to 100 rankings for credibility, with 100 being best. These rankings may have changed a bit since I unsubscribed, but I, too, saw that left-leaning and establishment sights got far higher rankings than comparable conservative ones. The left’s Axios, for example, which actually tells you what progressive viewpoint you are supposed to think is important in every article, got a perfect 100. Fox got 69.5 but CNN got 80. Radically left Mother Jones got 87.5 but the conservative Federalist got a horrible 12.5. Our local Cook County Record, which is excellent though leans a bit conservative, got a paltry 32. The ridiculously biased and widely ridiculed Politifact got a perfect 100. The list goes on and on.)

October 27, 2023

Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/10/27/white-house-demands-action-from-gop-lawmakers-on-gun-control-after-latest-mass-shooting-1407744/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House called for Republicans in Congress to get with the program and help to pass sweeping new anti-Second Amendment laws after another mass shooting, exploiting the tragedy to bully lawmakers at the height of public outrage. The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)

— Critics watchful as IRS prepares for $78 billion influx – Brett Rowland (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the following wasted my knowledge of IRS: a) my Democrat IRS superiors, b) my Democrat GAO superiors, c) Hastert, and d) my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives and candidates for those offices and their staff members. GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0acb6ea4-7408-11ee-b6d2-17c0c2c516cd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the IRS plans for a $78 billion investment that could transform the agency over the next decade, Democrats and Republicans have starkly different views about the challenges it faces going forward. The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

DAILY MAIL
— Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is slammed ‘for locking huge crowd out of public meeting about plan for migrant camp in crime-ridden city – even though there was plenty of space inside.’ The city is planning to erect a tent shelter camp to house up to 2,000 asylum seekers. But locals claim they were not consulted and have safety concerns for themselves and the potential residents. Close to 20,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022 as the city struggles with an accommodation shortage. – ISABELLE STANLEY

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

— The Far Right Gets Its Man of the House. The new speaker, Mike Johnson, is virtually unknown to most Americans, but he can be expected to press a hard-right social and fiscal agenda. – Carl Hulse (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I have always been too far right. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving) planks)

— A Speaker Without Enemies—For Now. Mike Johnson’s win was as sudden as it was improbable. – Russell Berman (COMMENT: I should write a book about my service as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. I would focus on my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who succeeded in ending my chairmanship and in destroying TAPROOT in 2012. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
