CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats say “UAW justifies wage demands by pointing to CEO pay raises” and ask “So how high were they?” Ever since I became a union member and a federal employee in 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents have viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. While I was a union member working for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)
https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/business/ap-uaw-justifies-wage-demands-by-pointing-to-ceo-pay-raises-so-how-high-were-they/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, talks with President Joe Biden as he sits in a Corvette during a tour of the Detroit Auto Show on Sept. 14, 2022. . .At GM, the median worker pay was $80,034 in 2022. It would take that worker 362 years to make Barra’s annual compensation. At Ford, where the median pay was $74, 691, it would take 281 years. At Stellantis, with a median pay of 64,328 euros, it would take 365 years. . .It’s far above the typical pay gap at S&P 500 companies, which was 186-1 according to AP’s annual CEO pay survey, which uses data analyzed by Equilar. And it’s astronomical by historical standards. According to a study of the 350 largest publicly traded U.S. firms by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, the CEO-to-Worker pay ratio was just 15-1 in 1965.)

DAILY ILLINI
— Democrats crow about record high University of Illinois “underrepresented minority” acceptance rate. Democrats run UIC. UIC accepted me In 1966 when I was a 17-year-old Republican Crete-Monee High School student living with his parents in Crete. If I was that student today, because of my terrible demographics, I doubt that UIC would accept me. I share far too many demographics with Trump. Trump is heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time. To reject me, UIC could use that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class, that my ACT score was only 24, and that I had not demonstrated any leadership potential. I had spent far too many hours washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years and full-time during the summer in between. Further, I could not run because I had a hereditary bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness.

TOWNHALL
— Good Riddance to the Bush Regime – Jeff Crouere
https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2023/09/18/column-n2628544
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Reagan was a principled conservative, an excellent communicator, and a generation leader. His two terms were highly successful, and he left office with high approval ratings and eight years of impressive accomplishments. He was so popular that his bland and uninspiring Vice President was elected in 1988 as a third Reagan term. Yet, Bush was nothing like Ronald Reagan. He believed in a “new world order,” military adventurism, and raising taxes. Bush was also an elitist who cared little for average Americans. . .Like his father, Bush was a “moderate” Republican who masqueraded as a “compassionate conservative.” He also believed in military adventurism and started two wars, ballooned the government by creating the Department of Homeland Security, and stripped away the rights of Americans with the “Patriot Act.” He wanted to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens but was stopped by an outpouring of opposition from conservative groups. In the 2006 midterm election, his unpopular presidency ushered into power the Democrats in both chambers of Congress. He ended his second term by turning over the White House to Barack Obama, a radical who pretended to believe in “hope and change.”)

— Democrats say “Evangelicals losing their grip on the Republican Party as 2024 election looms.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. Conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, the base of Republican Party, have never had a grip on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). At least since 1970s, the majority of IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have rejected many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Political parties divided against themselves cannot stand. I should write a book about that.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Student-Loan Restart Threatens to Pull $100 Billion Out of Consumers’ Pockets. Households are cutting back, worrying largest U.S. retailers.” I never tried to get a student loan. To get more votes from student loan borrowers, Democrat politicians want to cancel their loans. Ever since I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, my critics/opponents have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have had tremendous unfair advantages in life because I graduated debt-free. They stress that I could not have graduated debt-free if I had not gotten student deferments to avoid the Vietnam draft. My graduating debt-free and my working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time 1970-1971 and then part-time 1971-1972 and my working for IRS 1971-1980 enabled me a) to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) to pay for graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976, c) to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) to buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, e) to pay for graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, f) to buy a one bed room condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, g) to buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, and h) to buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevrolet Chevette in 1978. In my defense, I stress that I worked my way through college. I worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while classes were in session 1966-1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.

— 5 Books to Read if You’re Thinking of Changing Careers – Simon Constable (COMMENT: Have you changed careers? In 1980, when I was 31 years old, to falsely justify forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, the Democrats who ran the agencies falsely painted my transfer as being a career change. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Much of what I had done for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO.)

My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me when I told him that I had accepted that offer. I desperately needed a job. I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died in late 1969. Therefore, I accepted an offer from IRS to be a GS-7, currently $52,022/year, Revenue Officer.)

I had worked on audits of regulation of derivative since 1990. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in early 1997.)

Most of them have called Chicago home for decades — providing thousands of jobs within the city’s $75 billion finance industry.)
