— Blue States Saw Highest Rates of Homelessness in 2023 – Eric Lendrum (COMMENT: Blue states are rapidly filling with immigrants. Immigration promotes homelessness. Immigrants lack education and job skills. They want/need/demand massive government assistance. They have severe financial, health, and other problems. Further, employers want cheap labor. Immigrants work for less money than Americans. So of course, employers dump their employees who are citizens of America and replace them with lower-paid immigrants. If there were as many immigrants in America when I was young as there are today, they would have gotten the jobs that I got or my wages would have been much lower.)

— I.R.S. to Begin Trial of Its Own Free Tax-Filing System. Residents of 12 states are eligible to participate if they meet certain criteria. But the agency’s plans have already met resistance from tax preparation companies. – Ann Carrns (COMMENT: As long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax. In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me. Again, as long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax.)

— Why women are often better at career pivots than men – Aliyah Frumin (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 could/should have offered me a promotion to transfer from IRS. But instead, the forced me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer because I was male, White, old (31), conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America for a long time. Further, I had complained at IRS about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. To justify the pay cut, they ignored, dismissed, and belittled the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 year, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year.)

All the money to pay for my bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 came from what I earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kaira Estrada, 28, is a Venezuelan asylum seeker. She initially stayed at the largest Chicago-funded migrant shelter, but said she encountered dangerous circumstances. In Spanish, Estrada shared her concerns. “We live surrounded by danger outside the refugee shelter, because there is a lot of people doing bad things,” she said. “So they look for conflict and that brings conflict. So you kinda live with fear.” Estrada now lives at Casa Monarca in Uptown. “We live more calm (here),” Estrada said. “No one is smoking or drinking. It’s important because I feel safe. It’s a big part of the comparison.”)

— Illinois State Board of Elections to decide whether former President Trump will remain on primary ballot following petition – Carson Gourdie (COMMENT: Which of the eight Illinois State Board of Elections members (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) will vote against Trump and which will vote for Trump? What criteria will they use?)
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/illinois-state-board-of-elections-to-vote-jan-30-on-whether-former-president-trump-will-remain-on-primary-ballot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This January, the SBE will have a hearing officer conduct hearings with the petitioners and the candidate’s legal team. The officer will then provide a recommendation to SBE’s general counsel. The general counsel will then provide their own recommendation to SBE’s eight-person board, which consists of four appointed Democrats and four appointed Republicans. On January 30th, the board will meet. (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) It would take five votes to remove Trump from the ballot. A 4-4 tie means Trump can stay. But that may not settle the situation. Redfield said he expects the United States Supreme Court to issue a ruling by March’s Super Tuesday Primary, which would settle whether Trump would remain on the ballots for both the primary and general election. We reached out to both the Illinois Democratic and Republican Party for statements but only heard back from the GOP. “The Illinois Republican Party is strictly neutral in the Republican presidential primary,” said Don Tracy, Illinois Republican Party Chairman, in a statement. “We believe the people, not activist courts, should choose who represents them in the White House. This attempt to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an anti-democracy attempt to limit the voting rights of Illinois citizens and should be dismissed outright.” The Illinois State Board of election begin formal proceedings on the petition starting on January 17th.)

LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY
— Here’s the hidden truth about how they’re going to take over the US through illegal immigrants – Pat Droney
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/bidens-anchor-babies-will-eventually-lead-to-the-great-replacement-weve-been-warned-about
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A report from the Center for Immigration Studies paints a chilling picture of the abuses being perpetrated by illegals entering the United States. While illegal aliens are restricted from many welfare programs, their “anchor babies”–children born in the United States–face no such restrictions. And they are taking advantage. The study shows that households headed by illegal aliens are more likely to use welfare than those headed by US-born citizens. Some 59.4 percent of households led by illegals use one or more welfare programs, while 39 percent of households headed by a US-born citizen use such programs, the report says. The report states that those high rates of welfare use primarily reflect their generally lower education levels and their resulting low incomes, coupled with the large share of those who have U.S.-born children eligible for all welfare programs from birth. More than half of all illegal immigrant households have one or more U.S.-born children.” The term “anchor baby” comes from the Fourteenth Amendment, which establishes “birthright citizenship,” which grants citizenship to anyone born within the United States or its territories, no matter the citizenship of the parents. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the provision, although such a loophole would appear counterproductive to the country’s security. That provision has been used (and abused) by illegals entering the country. Once they have a U.S.-born child, deporting them back to where they came from is challenging (although not impossible). Once a child reaches 21, they can seek immigrant visas for their parents and extended families to enter the U.S. It’s a loophole that has anti-illegal immigration activists upset. Many of those activists believe that illegals enter the country and have children deliberately, thereby “anchoring” them to the United States. According to the CIS report, illegals and their “anchor babies” cost the American taxpayers $150.6 billion annually. “The American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” CIS stated in the report. Currently, a dozen states offer Medicaid to all low-income children regardless of immigration status. Those children also have access to many government food and meal programs. The CIS report used the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data. “The reality is that illegal immigrants are included in the SIPP, a large share of them are poor, and they or their U.S.-born children have welfare eligibility, and many take advantage of this eligibility,” CIS stated. “A very large share of immigrants come to America, have children, struggle to provide for them, and so turn to taxpayers for support. This can be seen as especially problematic given that there is already a large number of Americans who are also struggling to provide for their children.” The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) published data that showed the total number of U.S.-born children of illegal aliens in the United States as of June 2023 stood at 5.78 million, or two times the population of Chicago. In reporting the financial impact on the American people over the past five years, the annual cost has risen by almost $35 billion. “This burden will only continue to grow as a result of the Biden administration’s open-border policies,” CIS warned. It is currently unknown how many anchor babies have been born in the United States since the Biden-facilitated invasion began. But if even only ten percent of those who have entered the country illegally have had children, the Great Replacement Theory will come to bear before you know it. Of course, anchor babies are but one small part of the issue facing the United States when it concerns illegal immigration. It has been reported that as of October 2023, at least 169 illegal aliens on the terror watch list tried to enter the United States illegally. Law Enforcement Today sources tell us that number is exponentially higher counting so-called “gotaways.” It has been reported that some of those caught included members of ISIS, which is a sworn enemy of the United States. Moreover, it isn’t only illegal aliens that are a concern to the United States. According to The PIE News, the State Department issued over 393,000 F-1 visas in FY-2023 through August last year. The number is expected to exceed the 411,131 issued in FY-2022 when final data is released. In the UK, an engineering student at the University of Birmingham was sentenced to life in prison for designing and building a so-called “kamikaze” drone for ISIS, The National News reported. Al Bared, a doctoral student at the university, began constructing the drone in July 2022. Officials say Bared built the weapon using a 3D printer after speaking to ISIS online. The outlet reported the Birmingham Crown Court heard notes found where Bared said the idea for the drone was “inspired by the design of the Tomahawk missile.” The court heard testimony that Bared intended to make a drone capable of transmitting live video for terrorism purposes and planned to travel to West Africa via Turkey. In September, he was found guilty by a jury that heard testimony that Bared planned to put together a prototype drone that he hoped would be capable of delivering a bomb or chemical weapon. He was convicted on a single count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts to benefit a proscribed terrorist organization. Last week, the sentencing judge said Bared sought to lend his support to the “terrorist agenda” of ISIS. “I have no doubt that you intended your design to be used as a single-use weapon with a range of up to 5 kilometers,” the judge said. “Your preparations were undertaken with a view to endangering multiple lives.” The judge also noted that Bared’s design of the drone was “at best suspect and at worse [sic] fundamentally flawed. This was a work in progress.” The judge continued, “You are a manipulative individual. You are a committed extremist. I have no doubt that you are still today a supporter of ISIS. It is impossible to say whether you will ever surrender your extremist views. You are a dangerous offender for whom the public requires protection. “The seriousness of offending justifies a sentence of life imprisonment.” When Al Bared was arrested last January, officials seized the drone and a mobile phone, where encrypted online chats and other digital material exposing Bared’s support for ISIS were found. Over ten million illegals have entered the United States since Biden’s January 2021 installation. Well over two hundred terrorist suspects entered the United States under Biden. Over 400,000 F1 student visas were handed out last year. Is it possible that within that number that, there are perhaps a few hundred ISIS, Hamas, or Hezbollah sympathizers? A thousand? Maybe more…much more.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/so-many-needs-denver-public-school-scrambles-educate-surge-migrant-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There’s a very cute table over here where they’re all speaking Spanish with a couple of English translators,” Boylan described in the lunchroom nearly filled to capacity in the middle of the school day. McMeen has welcomed new students throughout this school year – sometimes as many as 15 new-to-country students a week – and it’s overwhelming teachers and staff. “These are children who have literally walked from Venezuela to get to Denver,” Boylan added. Lyly Zaragoza’s kindergarten class now has 32 students – almost the maximum allowed in the teacher’s union contract. “It’s a big number and it can get a bit overwhelming at times just because there’s so many needs,” Zaragoza said. “Some of them have never been at school before, so they don’t even know how to hold a pencil.” And many students have struggled to get through the school day. Zaragoza said, “I have kids that will spend most of the day crying and asking what time, what time do I go home? What time do I see my mom? And since they’re so stuck on that they can’t really learn.” “His integration process has been slow. It has been tough for him. He is the one who’s been most affected by the change,” describes Genesis Salloum in Spanish about her son Maikol who is in first grade at McMeen. Salloum says she and her husband and three children walked across seven countries to get here from Venezuela. She saw five dead people along the way, trying to shield her kids from seeing them. “Yes, the trip was hard, it was a little difficult, getting here was not easy,” Salloum said. Her baby Giancarlos has a seizure disorder. The family was granted a humanitarian parole at the border given the baby’s health. He’s been able to get treatment, but brother Maikol is struggling to adapt and misses the support of his large family back home. McMeen projected enrollment this year at 546 kids. It’s now serving 671.)

That left five battleground states up for grabs: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. To determine the winner in each of those states, Newsweek then factored in the most recent averages from RealClearPolling (RCP) to calculate the total electoral vote count.)

— Tax season 2024: Due dates and when IRS will start accepting tax returns (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the Centiphone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, and/or veteran. To get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ). They made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me not only for the aforesaid reasons, but because I had complained about their ever-increasingly giving more and more and more preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. The aforesaid adverse actions were a big reason why I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. In 1986, after I had 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, the GAO manager who arranged my transfer finally succeed in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and in promoting me to GS-13. But because of that, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987.)

Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— WTTW advisory board’s annual report filled with ‘concerns’ – Corli Jay
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/marketing-media/wttw-advisory-boards-annual-report-filled-concerns#/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interview with Crain’s, Joseph Morris, chairman of the WTTW community advisory board, said the station’s management has not been transparent and has been ignoring their questions for data on program viewership, adding that they were “blindsided” by the changes in the time slot as well as the time frame of the show. “The viewing public was blindsided and had to work to find where ‘Chicago Tonight’ was on the schedule. It wasn’t where you expected it to be,” Morris said. “And that was a puzzle. We shouldn’t make it hard for the people of Chicago to find our programs; we should make it very easy.” Morris says the concerns all stem from making sure that “Chicago Tonight” can remain the flagship program for the station. . .Speaking on the board’s involvement with the station, Morris said that in the past the board’s recommendations were adopted. The rebranding of the journalistic operations as WTTW News and updating the title of executive producer of “Chicago Tonight” to director of the WTTW News Department were examples given in the report. Morris added that experimentation can be good but says the board just asks for more transparency from the station. . .”We’re asking for transparency because we love the place . . . we love the people who work there, we want them to succeed,” said Morris.)

— Cost to apply, demand explain why only 1% of migrants in Chicago have work permits – SABRINA FRANZA (COMMENT: Ald. Bill Conway (34th) says “the jobs are there.” Exactly what jobs? What are the requirements for those jobs including education, work experience, physical abilities, and language skills? What education, work experience, health, language, and other qualifications do illegals have? What do those jobs pay? What benefits do they come with? What advancement opportunities do they offer? What are the working conditions? Do illegals want these jobs? Will illegals take these jobs? Why are these jobs unfilled? Are they bad jobs that Americans refuse to take? Did you take bad jobs that your peers refused to take? I did. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxers 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/migrant-work-permit-cost/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTjKWr49mrE
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number really boils down to three things: the cost of the application, the availability of documents, and the significant demand. “So, the jobs are there. We just have to get them the right status,” said Ald. Bill Conway (34th), explaining why so few asylum seekers have received their work permits. “The only ones eligible are people that were here before August 1st and that are from Venezuela, essentially.” The cost to fill out the application is over $400. There is a form to waive that cost. Conway’s office has helped some asylum seekers fill that out as part of a 31-page application to get the permit. Turnaround time is about two months. “The demand is extremely high compared to how much work permits are actually being processed and distributed,” said Emilio Araujo, the director of development and communications at Onward House. The nonprofit organization has helped countless immigrants resettle not just over the past two years, but during its decades-long history. “When someone comes to the city and they are looking to get find their footing, we are one of the first places that they might go because we do all the case management support,” Araujo. CBS 2 spoke to Araujo about the demand for work permits that Onward House has been seeing after CBS 2 was shown city data suggesting only 1% of asylum seekers in Chicago successfully received their work authorizations and social security numbers. “About 90% of the people that we see, of the new immigrants, are looking for a work permit, and we refer those out, and then about 10% of those people end up actually applying for a work permit, and then only 1% as well end up having that work permit,” Araujo said. A spokesperson with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office said the city has been helping asylum seekers apply for work permits since 2022 and has partnered with the state, nonprofits and the federal government to expedite the application process. The city began expedited clinics in partnership with The Resurrection Project and the state and federal government to help migrants with the application on Nov. 9. “The City is committed to providing the necessary resources to aid asylum-seekers on their path to self-sufficiency and independence,” the spokesperson said. Conway is planning to host another legal clinic later this month to help more asylum seekers fill out an application.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/2/24017662/chicago-migrant-crisis-president-biden-immigration-federal-funding-major-johnson-editorial
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Disburse migrants nationwide. . .The mayors also want the Biden administration to create a federally-run system to fairly disburse migrants to locations across the country, ending ‘Air Abbott’ and his politically motivated transport policies that have dropped off migrants in cities with no advance warning. . .Meanwhile, Abbott isn’t sending his buses and planes to St. Louis, a city that is actively courting migrants and asylum seekers in a bid to turn back decades of population loss and to bring potential new workers into the region. All of this is a good reason for the federal government — not Abbott — to handle migrant relocation. “We need action and we need it now,” Adams said. “We are calling for the federal declaration of emergency, financial support and a national resettlement strategy.”)

https://patch.com/illinois/highlandpark/assault-weapon-registration-deadline-passes-court-challenges-remain
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are 2.4 million people in Illinois with firearm owners identification, or FOID, cards. Of those, fewer than 30,000 individuals had registered a banned item with state authorities, according to the latest update from Illinois State Police. That means about 1 in 82 FOID cardholders had complied with the law, but there is no available data on how many owned banned guns in the first place or how many chose to take them to another state rather than register their serial numbers in a state database. . .”Historically, registration has led to confiscation, and as an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you. We respect that,” Pearson said. “We are currently preparing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, asking the Supreme Court to declare the entire law unconstitutional. We believe the court will rule in our favor.” . . . Many cities and counties in the Chicago area have had ordinances on the books for years banning assault weapons. But they have hardly, if ever, been enforced because most of the time law enforcement encounters a restricted assault weapon they are either being used by someone who does not have a FOID card or is committing some other crime. Nearly three quarters of Illinois sheriffs came out against the law last year, declaring they would not enforce it. None of them have publicly reversed course. Pritzker characterized it as “political grandstanding” and pledged that state police would still be able to penalize those who violate the gun and magazine ban.)

https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/653469177-chicago-alderman-why-aren-t-dupage-suburbs-keeping-illegal-aliens-to-care-for-themselves
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid the ongoing illegal immigration crisis, Chicago’s 15th Ward Alderman and candidate for the 4th Congressional District, Ray Lopez, is questioning Illinois’ status as the “most welcoming state” while raising concerns about human trafficking affecting Chicago. Lopez directed pointed questions at his fellow Democrats. “If Illinois is the ‘most welcoming state’ in the nation, how is it other cities can continue the human trafficking to Chicago? How are @GovPritzker & @ILAttyGeneral allowing them to subvert the spirit of the law? Why is @ChicagosMayor not decrying these mayors for adding to our city’s burden?” Lopez asked on X. Following the City of Chicago’s ordinance outlawing unscheduled buses from dropping off illegal immigrants, DuPage County in particular has been seeing nearly a dozen buses per day in some cases dropping off hundreds of illegal immigrants traveling to the area from Texas. In many cases those dumped in DuPage County are then boarding trains bound for Chicago. On Face the Nation over the weekend Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson pleaded for federal government funds to handle the influx of illegal immigrants. “What we have is clearly an international and federal crisis that local governments are being asked to subsidize. And this is unsustainable. None of our local economies are positioned to be able to carry on such a mission,” Johnson said. Johnson’s recent comments run counter to those he made while running for the mayor’s office in March 2023. “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city,” Johnson said in a tweet at the time. “Longtime Chicagoans don’t have to lose for new arrivals to gain — there’s enough space at the table for all of us to sit and eat.” “Immigrants are welcome here.” Lopez has been consistently outspoken on the illegal immigration issue. In December he emphasized the escalating southern border situation as a national security concern. He criticized the Biden Administration and Congress, dismissing accusations of racism from his March 19 congressional primary opponent U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.) as a distraction. Lopez has said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are responsible for border challenges, expressing frustration with the lack of accountability towards Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He linked the border crisis to the recent death of a five-year-old boy at a migrant shelter in Pilsen, Chicago, and vowed to bring common sense to the Democratic Party on the issue. In the fall, following a contentious Chicago City Council, Lopez criticized aggressive tactics and harassment, singling out Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the Floor Leader for Mayor Johnson, for his behavior during the proceedings as the city council discussed a referendum to repeal Chicago’s “sanctuary city” status. Lopez emphasized the connection between the city’s Welcoming City Ordinance and the influx of asylum-seekers and underscored the need for Chicagoans to have a say in the matter. Lopez accused the mayor’s team of bending rules and obstructing the proceedings. Ramirez-Rosa later stepped down due to the criticisms. However, the attempt to bring the matter to the voters was ultimately unsuccessful. Lopez has represented the 15th Ward since 2015. The 4th Congressional District includes the Chicago neighborhoods of Brighton Park, West Elsdon, and South Lawndale; most of New City, Pilsen, Chicago Lawn, Clearing, Garfield Ridge and Bridgeport; the Cook County communities of Burbank, Berwyn, Cicero, Brookfield, LaGrange Park, Northlake, Melrose Park, Berkeley and Franklin Park; and the DuPage County communities of Hinsdale, Elmhurst and Oak Brook.)

RELOAD
— One in Twenty Americans Own an AR-15 – Jake Fogleman
https://thereload.com/poll-one-in-twenty-americans-own-an-ar-15/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tens of millions of Americans own an AR-15. That’s according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll released on Monday. The poll surveyed Americans more broadly to gauge gun ownership and found that 31 percent of adults report owning guns. Of those, the poll found that 20 percent own an AR-15 rifle. “Taken together, the polls find that 6 percent of Americans own an AR-15, about 1 in 20,” Post reporter Emily Guskin wrote. “The data suggests that with a U.S. population of 260.8 million adults, about 16 million Americans own an AR-15.” The survey is the latest evidence to confirm the popularity of AR-15s and similar rifles, often dubbed “assault weapons” by critics, among the American gun-owning public. The extent of their ownership could factor heavily in the political debate over their continued legality as multiple blue states mull bans and gun rights groups prepare to contest them. That finding provides new insight into ownership of the popular rifle, which is valued by gun-rights advocates for its versatility and modularity but reviled by gun-control activists for its use by shooters in a number of high-profile attacks. The poll’s estimates land in the ballpark of previous estimates. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has previously estimated that there are over 24.4 million AR-15s and similar rifles—which it calls “modern sporting rifles”—in civilian hands as of 2022. The National Firearms Survey, conducted in 2021 by Georgetown professor William English, found that 30.2% of gun owners, about 24.6 million people, indicated owning an AR-15 or similarly styled rifle. In its landmark Heller decision, the Supreme Court found that the Second Amendment protects arms “in common use” by “law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Whether ownership among tens of millions of Americans is enough to fall into that camp may help determine the constitutionality of AR-15 bans. Although, a federal judge in Delaware ruled on Monday that state’s ban can stand despite the popularity of the rifle. Self-defense was the most popular reason AR-15 owners in the poll gave for buying the gun. Around one-third listed it as the main reason for ownership, but nearly two-thirds said that it was “a major reason” for purchasing the rifle. Other popular answers given in roughly equal numbers included recreation, target shooting, hunting, and exercising their Second Amendment rights. The poll found that AR-15 owners were around 20 percent more likely to be male than other gun owners and 30 percent more likely to be male than the U.S. adult population. Only 19 percent of AR-15 owners self-identified as female. AR-15 owners were also more likely than the adult population as a whole, and about equally likely as other gun owners, to be white. Three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they were white, while 11 percent said they were Hispanic, and nine percent said they were black. AR-15 owners were also more likely to live in a suburban area, have a higher income, identify as politically Independent, and fall between the ages of 40-64 than other gun owners and the population as a whole. They were also significantly more likely to have served in the military, though nearly three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they had not served. The poll identified a regional divide in AR-15 ownership as well. Nearly half of all AR-15 owners reported living in the South, while roughly one-quarter and one-fifth reported living in the West and Midwest, respectively. Only ten percent of AR-15 owners said they lived in the Northeast. This Washington Post-Ipsos poll was conducted from September 30-October 11, 2022, among a random national sample of 2,104 gun owners, including 399 AR-15-style rifle owners. The margin of error for the sample of AR-15-style rifle owners is 5.5 points.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Elburn, which is 50 miles west of Chicago, isn’t the only community facing similar incidents, migrants have been dropped off in other towns, including Aurora, Fox River Grove, Rosemont, Elmhurst, and University park in recent weeks. Rosemont and Aurora have enacted ordinances banning unscheduled drop-offs. “We did one yesterday in Orland Hills, We’re doing one tomorrow in Matteson. It’s the same type of model ordinance that we’ve put our flavor to accommodate the particular municipality as far as the size,” said Burt Odelson, village attorney for Chicago Ridge. . .But Oak Park has a different approach. The village is using a grant from the state to support 162 asylum-seekers housed at a hotel and a YMCA. In addition, 18 people are staying at a local church with the support of volunteers.)

— Chicago suburbs passing laws as ‘rogue buses’ drop off asylum seekers
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-suburbs-scramble-as-rogue-buses-drop-off-asylum-seekers/3312421/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday night, Elburn passed a new ordinance governing how drop-offs of asylum seekers would be handled. “If they come in unannounced, especially after the train has stopped running, we may not be able to help them,” Administrator John Nevenhoven said. “We don’t have resources for 30-to-50 people in the middle of the night.” Elburn’s ordinance would oblige the bus carrier to file an application to use that bus stop for any intercity bus traffic, according to officials. . .Chicago Ridge officials also passed an ordinance on Wednesday. “The bus company has to get hold of us five days ahead of time, get a permit, and find out where to go and drop, and if they don’t, they could be fined and the bus could be impounded,” Chicago Ridge Attorney Burt Odelson said. Odelson says that around a dozen suburbs have passed similar ordinances in recent weeks. “I rep several municipalities. Two emergency passages in the last week, one yesterday, one tonight and another is expected tomorrow,” he said. . .In Oak Park, the village has welcomed more than 150 migrants, but permanent housing is needed by the end of January, something that other suburbs also have expressed. “We have no facilities,” Walters said. “Should a bus show up and people not decide to get on the train? We can’t force people to do that if they don’t want to.” Johnson said that “multiple rogue buses” arrived over the Christmas holiday weekend and dropped off asylum seekers in random locations in violations of safety protocols. In all, at least 95 buses have been cited in violence of Chicago’s ordinances, with two buses being impounded.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now the list of suburbs that have already approved or are exploring measures to prevent migrants from being dropped off is growing longer. “The City of Chicago is ill-equipped to take care of them, there’s no way we should be expecting small suburban communities to be able to do this,” said New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann. Baldermann says they’ve had police stationed at two Metra stations and have yet to receive any migrant buses; however, they did locate one migrant who was lost and walking along the highway. “We did have one migrant the other day who was walking down Route 30, we were able to, with our fire department and police department, communicate with this migrant who had said they’d been walking for a day and a half. They were told they were in Chicago and of course they weren’t,” said Baldermann. “Our fire department checked them to make sure they were healthy, make sure there was no pending medical issue, and then we were able to put them on a train and send them to the City of Chicago.” Baldermann signed an executive order last week prohibiting unscheduled buses. It remains in effect until the Board of Trustees meets on Monday, Jan. 8 to review and vote on the proposed ordinance. Similarly, in Elburn, the village board approved an ordinance to restrict “unscheduled intercity buses” on Wednesday evening.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, some people running for public office believe they don’t need to speak to the traditional media and refuse to answer questions from newspaper editors. That’s unfortunate, because we want to provide as much information about the candidates as possible so our readers can make educated decisions in the voting booth. The questionnaires we prepare for elections allow candidates to communicate their views directly to the public. The answers they provide are often published unedited on our website for anyone to see. . .One bright spot came from DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek, who has long worked to improve how her office runs elections. When asked, the DuPage clerk’s office immediately sent us the email addresses for all 30 candidates who had filed for countywide, county board and forest preserve board seats. So, we thank Kaczmarek and her staff for collecting the information in the first place — and providing it without forcing us to jump through hoops to get it. . .Candidates willing to answer questions from the press allow us to educate the voters about them — something we all want.)

— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene backs mass government layoffs: ‘There are plenty of jobs’ – JACKSON WALKER (COMMENT: To demonize, denigrate, and condemn the experience that I gained and the promotions that I got working for the federal government for almost 30 years, my RINO critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned the federal government as being the employer of last resort, that is, the employer of those who lack what it takes to succeed in the private sector. In my defense, I stress that I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA and earned four other job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees.)
https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-backs-mass-government-layoffs-there-are-plenty-of-jobs-washington-argentina-javier-milei
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., backed mass layoffs of government employees Wednesday, citing a wide availability of private sector work. The congresswoman was replying to reporting by journalist John Soloman, who shared a story about Javier Milei, the president of Argentina who some have likened to former President Donald Trump. The article details Milei’s recent dismissal of over 5,000 government employees. Rep. Greene reposted the article, saying she would support a similar measure being taken in the U.S. “This is the way and we should do the same,” the Republican wrote. “Release them to the private sector, there are plenty of jobs.”)

If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, veteran, and/or younger, I would have received lots of incentives.)

https://capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/illinois-supreme-court-foid-records-exempt-from-public-disclosure
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The case revolved around a 2011 amendment to the Freedom of Information Act that exempts from public disclosure the names and information of people who have applied for or received FOID cards or concealed carry permits. According to briefs filed with the court, state lawmakers passed that amendment after the Associated Press filed a blanket FOIA request seeking the names of all FOID cardholders in the state, along with the expiration dates of their cards.)

— What percentage of the US population is LGBTQ? New data shows which states have the most. – Claire Thornton (COMMENT: I have always promoted the traditional marriage/family plank in the Republican Party platform. Since 2000, those who promote LGBTQ have worked the hardest against me. They have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: New data estimates the greatest number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender U.S. adults live in the South, confirming findings from recent years. Across the country, researchers estimate more than 5% of U.S. adults are LGBTQ+, matching prior LGBTQ+ population data. Young people ages 18-24 are much more likely to identify as LGBTQ+, according to the report from the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles. The report, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, found that in 2020 and 2021, there were nearly 14 million LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S. − with some states having noticeably higher percentages of gay and queer residents than others. Earlier this year, a poll from Gallup found a slightly higher percentage of U.S. adults are LGBTQ+. Overall, multiple polls show that the adult LGBTQ population has been steadily increasing for years. “Look at the numbers, more people are coming out younger and people are coming out in places where LGBTQ folks have been less out and visible,” Cathy Renna, a spokesperson for the National LGBTQ Task Force, told USA TODAY. Broken down by state, the report shows Washington, D.C., Oregon and Delaware top the list for greatest percentage of gay and queer residents. The census, the nation’s most well-known population survey, does not gather data on Americans’ sexuality or gender identity. In 2021, other, smaller surveys from the bureau began asking those questions of respondents for the first time. How many people in the US are LGBTQ?
Researchers at the Williams Institute, a leading national LGBTQ+ population data research group, estimate more than 13.9 million LGBTQ+ adults live in the U.S., representing 5.5% of the population. Every year, Gallup also releases results of a poll estimating how many Americans are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Gallup’s last report, which polled a nationally representative group of 10,000 respondents, found 7.2% identified as LGBTQ+. The number was highest among adult Gen Zers, or people born between 1997 and 2012, according to Pew Research Center. South continues to have highest percentage of LGBTQ+ people
The new data shows nearly 36% of the nation’s adult LGBTQ+ population lives in the South, representing more than 5 million people. The number is also an increase from the last data released by the Williams Institute in 2014, showing 35% of the nation’s LGBTQ+ population lived in the South. Researchers defined the South as states spanning from Texas and Oklahoma, to Florida and north through Delaware. Kentucky, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., are included in the grouping. In recent years, Southern Republican-led states passed more laws restricting transgender health care, access to school sports and instruction on LGBTQ+ history than any other part of the country. For that reason, the South is at the forefront of the national fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality, Renna said. “Despite the backlash and despite challenges we’re facing, we’re resilient and we’re not going anywhere,” Renna said. Speaking from New Orleans, which the National LGBTQ Task Force selected for its next annual conference, Renna said the South is where there’s the most at stake for people’s lives because it’s home to the most people living under the most oppressive laws. “This is where a lot of the work really needs to happen,” she said, adding that her organization chose to host its conference in Louisiana because “there are so many LGBTQ people here that are underrepresented in media, culture and frankly in the movement.” Researchers found that 5.7% of Louisiana’s adult population is LGBTQ+, ranking slightly higher than states like New York, California and Illinois. In 2021, another LGBTQ+ advocacy group, GLAAD, analyzed Southern media coverage of LGBTQ+ communities and found that dozens of outlets published few or zero substantive stories on LGBTQ+ issues, including HIV/AIDS, during the 18-month period ending in December 2020. Gen Z most likely to be LGBTQ+
Generation Z, the youngest American generation to include adults, has a much higher percentage of LGBTQ+ members than older generations. Researchers found that in 2020 and 2021, 15.2% of Gen Z identified as LGBTQ+, representing more than 4.6 million people. Earlier this year, Gallup found 19.7% of Gen Z − or nearly 1 in 5 − said they were LGBTQ+ in 2022. “It’s certainly not uncommon for younger people to say they’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or however else they would identify themselves,” said Jeff Jones, a researcher at Gallup who has been tracking LGBTQ+ population data since 2012. With each passing year, as more Gen Zers enter adulthood, the cohort’s LGBTQ+ members also push the entire adult national total higher, Jones said. “As more come into adulthood, replacing the older people, the overall number should go up,” he said. Bisexuals make up majority of LGBTQ+ population. Researchers have long found that bisexual people − people who are attracted to more than one gender − make up more than half of America’s LGBTQ+ population. Researchers at the Williams Institute did not break down data based on sexuality, instead focusing on state-by-state LGBTQ+ populations. The most recent data from Gallup found more than 58% of all adult LGBTQ+ people in the U.S. are bisexual. Researchers in 2019 found that compared with gays and lesbians, bisexuals are far less likely to be out about their sexuality with people they’re close to. Some public health professors who study sexuality say biphobia could be playing a role. What states have the most LGBTQ+ people? This month’s new data from the Williams Institute is the latest batch from the group to rank the states that have the greatest percentage of LGBTQ+ residents. As in recent years, Washington, D.C., takes the top spot, with 14.3% of adults identifying with the acronym. Here are the other top states, and the percentage of adult residents who said they’re LGBTQ+: Washington, D.C. − 14.3%, Oregon − 7.8%, Delaware − 7.5%, Vermont − 7.4%, New Hampshire − 7.2%, Washington − 6.9%, Colorado − 6.8%, Maine − 6.8%, Nevada − 6.6%, Massachusetts − 6.5%)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT LEANING SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform promotes legal immigration, but it opposes illegal immigration. Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor. What are the following doing to fight illegal immigration, for example, demanding E-Verify: a) your Republican congressman, b) your Republican state senator and representative, c) your Republican county, township, municipal, and school district officials, d) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township/ward party organization, and e) candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? From what I see, the more of the following that your municipality has, the more likely that more illegals will end up there: Democrat/RINO leadership, Democrat/RINO voters, big push for DEI, that is, for preference for those who are minority, female, and/or younger, lots of churches and welfare agencies, lots of limousine liberals who want cheap labor, demand for low/un-skilled workers, public transportation, empty buildings, a history of seeking/accepting refugees, county seat, growing hatred of Trump, conservatives, Republicans, etc. – Dave Diersen

CITY JOURNAL
— “Equity” Reimagined in the Windy City. Mayor Brandon Johnson vows to close down Chicago’s nation-leading selective public schools. – Renu Mukherjee (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, and/or those whose ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Some falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my parents being filthy rich. They ignore the fact a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills and died suddenly when I was 21, d) that my mother never attended high school, and e) that I had to work my way through college.)
https://www.city-journal.org/article/equity-reimagined-in-chicago-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two days before the 2020 presidential election, Kamala Harris shared a highly criticized campaign ad on X (then Twitter) about the difference between equality and equity. The ad featured two cartoon men—one white, one black—climbing a mountain. The white man started out closer to the top of the mountain than his black peer and subsequently finished the climb first; only when the black man got a “boost” was he able to reach the top, too. Harris served as the ad’s narrator: “Equality suggests, ‘Oh, everyone should get the same amount.’ The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place. . . . Equitable treatment means that we all end up at the same place.” The ad was poorly received by much of the American public, at least in part because the notion of equity—“we all end up at the same place”—is decidedly un-American. Yet the concept is not new. In a 1965 address at Howard University, President Lyndon B. Johnson used a similar analogy to justify affirmative action: “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” For decades, Harris, LBJ, and other old school progressives have defined equity in policy terms to mean preferences for blacks, Latinos, and other marginalized groups in education and employment. The goal of equity, defined in this way, is to increase the representation of these groups in the upper echelon of American society—often at the cost of Asian Americans and whites. But “new school progressives” understand equity to mean the elimination of the upper echelon altogether. They don’t want anyone to have the opportunity to attend a selective public high school, and they loathe the prestige associated with an Ivy League education or a career in “Big Law” or on Wall Street. Their definition of equity amounts to universal mediocrity. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson’s December 14 decision to eliminate the city’s 11 selective public high schools, which use standardized tests to determine student admissions, is the latest example of this new notion of equity at play.)

We asked the Federal Reserve for answers. – Amanda Holpuch (COMMENT: Many of the homes in the southern half of my new DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton are worth more than the McCallister home.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/movies/home-alone-mccallisters-wealth.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Working with the assumption that the McCallisters did not spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, the economists also determined the home would have been affordable to a household with an income of $305,000 in 1990 (about $665,000 in 2022). In the middle of 2022, a similar house would cost about $2.4 million, based on the Zillow estimate for the “Home Alone” house. A home of that value would be affordable to a household with income of $730,000, which would be in the top 1 percent of Chicago-area households, the economists said.)

https://nypost.com/2023/06/10/marco-rubios-new-book-explains-how-globalization-transformed-immigration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) explains how these newcomers served as convenient sources of cheap labor — while upended long-standing patterns of assimilation and integration. . .many elites believe “it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government” . . . For decades now, since our elites began to believe that global market integration was an inherent good that should take precedence over all else — particularly patriotism, national unity, and the welfare of American workers — this country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor. . .But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. . .More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.)

The author of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me was very puzzled why I did not try to hide the fact that I was 100% German American and Protestant. In addition to being German American and Protestant, both Trump and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, older. draft avoiders, non-poor, married, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/12/20/will-lawsuit-dei-state-bar-n2632570
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The State Bar of Wisconsin is being sued for promoting discriminatory DEI practices based on race and sexual orientation. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) launched a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin State Bar on behalf of a State Bar member who is compelled to pay mandatory membership dues that functionally fund DEI programming he argues unfairly discriminates against him as well as thousands of Wisconsin attorneys on the basis of racial and sexual identity. Specifically, the State Bar of Wisconsin’s “Diversity Clerkship Program” offers exclusive internship opportunities—ones that should be open to everyone, WILL’s client says—only to certain minority law students or those who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Some of Wisconsin’s largest law firms and government agencies participate in the race- and sexuality-based Diversity Clerkship Program, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The application itself requires prospects to submit personal statements, “an extremely important factor” in the “race-based selection criteria,” detailing how they “contributed to diversity” and have “demonstrat[ed] their commitment to diversity.” . . . WILL additionally argues that the program “advocates for supplanting equal opportunity with equal outcome” and “violates the free speech rights of students by discriminating against those who will not profess a commitment to this [DEI] ideology.”)

Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

I would have been eligible to take regular retirement in 2003 when I was 55. But in 1993, when I was 45, because of Republican-led budget cuts, I became eligible to take early retirement. In 1997, when I was 49, just before my eligibility to take early retirement expired, my Democrat GAO superiors succeed in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They would not have done that if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. But according to my critics/opponents, I was forced to take early retirement because I was a BAD PERSON and continue to be a BAD PERSON if not a White supremist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and/or even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an extremely BAD PERSON because I was forced to retire in 1997 when I was 49 even though I had a) became a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Fraud Examiner in 1990, Internal Auditor in 1981, and Public Accountant in 1979, b) became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) earned a master’s degrees in finance from IIT in 1997, accounting from DePaul in 1980, and business from Loyola in 1976, and d) gotten promoted by GAO in 1986 and by IRS in 1974, 1973, and 1972. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— Democrats ever-increasingly discourage assimilation. All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s.
