— 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.)
— Some Illinois law enforcement say enforcing gun ban violations not a priority – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will force law enforcement to go after Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, gun-owner, non-veteran, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

(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.)

Democrat leaders ever-increasingly a) run America, b) encourage citizens of foreign countries who have demographics that vote for Democrats to claim asylum in America, c) give them housing, food, clothing, etc., and d) put them on a path to vote for Democrats. RINO leaders have no problem with the aforesaid because RINO leaders want cheap labor.

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

— Minimum wage to increase for Illinois workers in January Workers in Illinois aged 18 and older who currently earn the minimum wage can expect a pay increase starting in January. The state will raise the minimum wage from $13 to $14 per hour. (COMMENT: I worked for the minimum wage 1964-1966. It was $1.25/hour, and adjusted for inflation, it was $12.21/hour. I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 4 evenings a week and Saturdays while I was a Junior and Senior at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 (a poor man’s GTO), to use to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

— What it means to be an American – Eric Utter

(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.)

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.)

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.)

— NewsGuard, part of the government-media censorship complex, promoted by Chicago Tribune to combat ‘misinformation’ – Mark Glennon
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.”

Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have done everything that they could to flood America with illegals. But now, some of those leaders are starting to falsely deny that they have done that because their success in doing that is causing more and more and more problems. Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor. Further, some Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a racist and even worse things if you do not promote more illegal immigration.

I have strongly promoted the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform a) since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, b) since I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, c) while I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, d) while I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) while I served as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) while I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, g) while I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and h) while I served as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I should write a book about leaders of the aforesaid organizations, Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their supporters since 2000, conservative leaders and activists, religious leaders and activists, those who I have sued, and their attorneys who reject the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform, who want cheap labor, and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I promote the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and who ended my roles in the aforesaid organizations.

— Democrat leaders crow that “Chicago mayor calls out ‘right-wing extremists’ amid criticism over migrant influx.” Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have done everything that they could to flood America with illegals. But now, some of those leaders are starting to falsely deny that they have done that because their success in doing that is causing more and more and more problems. Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor. Further, some Democrat and RINO leaders, like Johnson, ever-increasingly demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being a racist and even worse things if you do not promote more illegal immigration.
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-mayor-right-wing-extremists-criticism-migrant-influx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing criticism and frustration from city leaders and residents as he prepares for a trip to the border amidst a daily influx of migrants arriving in Chicago. This week alone, an average of eight buses arrived daily, and the city has opened more than two dozen shelters for asylum seekers, with others sleeping at police stations and O’Hare Airport. Mayor Johnson is exploring backup plans to his tent encampments proposal as cold weather approaches, acknowledging that the migrant situation is not an overnight fix. He also lashed out at the far right wing of the Republican Party, which he blames for creating chaos and doing nothing to actually address the problem. “If people weren’t complaining, you could come to the conclusion that they didn’t expect much from us. The real disconnect is that you have an unclean spirit that has captured the right-wing extremists in this country. And I call on them to dig deeper and lean on their faith. As Jesus said, who our neighbors really are: the one on the roadside. Those are our neighbors,” Johnson said. The city has established an online donation site and is urging residents and community groups to donate items to help the migrants. Mayor Johnson has not yet disclosed a date for his trip to the Southern border, but promised transparency when it came to those plans and the costs involved.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under the act, state police are able to contact local law enforcement agencies, both in Illinois and other states, about their interactions with juveniles and if there is a possibly disqualifying juvenile record. State police continues to review juvenile criminal records, as well as mental health records, and all clear and present danger reports to see if a report has ever been submitted for any individual. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System has always been and will continue to be a part of all firearm purchases, Kelly said. The difference is that when an individual from out of state goes to purchase a firearm in Illinois now, state police will be able to check the criminal history and mental health repositories of that purchaser’s resident state.)

— Democrats say “New York mayor tries to discourage migrants with Latin America trip.” Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have done everything that they could to flood America with illegals.

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) leaders of conservative organizations, d) leaders of religious organizations, e) candidates on ballots in my precinct and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and f) defendants in lawsuits that I have filed and their attorneys. I would focus on the many big adverse actions that the aforesaid have taken against me.

— For Biden and Trump, Age Really Is Just a Number. How long can the two presidential candidates expect to live a healthy life? The answer from actuaries might surprise voters. – Josh Zumbrun
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For older individuals, we care more about how long someone their age can expect to live, which can be calculated with the Actuaries Longevity Illustrator. That tells us a nonsmoking male with Biden’s birthday, in good health, would be expected to live nine more years after next year’s Election Day, while for one with Trump’s birthday, it would be 11 years. That basic expectation is a median, meaning half of individuals would live longer, and half less. Would Biden and Trump live longer or less than the median? First, the median includes people who drink alcohol. Regular drinking of two or more drinks, three or more times a week, shortens life expectancy by about seven years. Both Trump and Biden are teetotalers, in addition to being nonsmokers. “Those are two of the biggest killers right there,” said Bradley Willcox, a professor and research director at the Department of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Hawaii. “When you eliminate excessive alcohol intake and smoking, one thing you’re left with is genetics.” Here, Trump and Biden picked their parents well. Trump’s mother lived to 88 and his father to 93, though late in life he developed Alzheimer’s disease. Biden’s mother died at 92—living long enough to see her son become the sixth-oldest vice president. Joe Biden Sr. died at 86. That’s even more impressive than it sounds: When those four individuals were born, life expectancy was around 50. Biden and Trump are each highly educated at a time when the life-expectancy gap between the educated and uneducated has been growing. They are wealthy, also a strong predictor of longer life. They receive excellent healthcare.)

But by then, because of my terrible demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844), I was viewed as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.

Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. All of the estimated 30 million citizens of foreign countries who are in America illegally today and who will come to America illegally are because Democrat and RINO leaders invited them to come in. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. Democrat leaders will stop bringing in illegals only when they are sure that they have enough of them voting so that no Republican will ever be elected again. RINO leaders will stop bringing in illegals only when they are sure that they have all the cheap labor that they can ever use.

My GPA at Crete-Monee High School and my ACT score suffered because to earn money for UIC expenses and to buy a new car to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC, instead of studying, I spent far too much time washing dishes in the basement of the S.S.

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/10/03/pritzker-pressures-the-president-00119615
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pat Brady, the former Illinois Republican Party chair, has joined the board of Personal PAC, the organization that supports abortion rights. Center of the storm: The move puts Brady, a voice for moderate Republicans, in the crosshairs of the GOP, which has been divided on issues related to reproductive rights. It’s familiar territory for Brady. Ten years ago, when he was Illinois GOP chair, he was stepped into the center of a huge political debate in Illinois by speaking up in support of same-sex marriage legislation. He did so even though the GOP platform at the time said marriage should be reserved for a man and a woman. Illinois would pass marriage equality that year, and Brady withstood attempts to oust him from his leadership role. He eventually resigned for personal reasons. His wife, Julie, had cancer and died a year later. The GOP, meanwhile, came to soften its stand on gay marriage, and Brady has continued to be a voice for moderate Republicans. So, it’s no surprise he would now be taking up the cause of reproductive rights at a time when Republicans are also divided on the issue. Brady tells Playbook: “If the party doesn’t get more tolerant on the abortion issue — and quit demonizing women, we will never succeed electorally.”)

I should write a book about the success that Democrats and RINOs in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have had promoting the aforesaid hatred.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Journalism Schools Go Increasingly Woke – GEORGE LEEF (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who stress the most that I do not have journalism degree. They ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and/or condemn the fact that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, and that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have little or no relevant education or work experience for the offices that they have sought and/or hold. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

Anticipate/expect that again, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO IRP leaders will again stop me from being appointed to that committee. Far too many are involved in Illinois Republican politics to strike the aforesaid planks from the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about them.
