FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Illinois Democrats denounce as ‘deceitful’ a pipeline used in last year’s elections to right-wing local news sites.” Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-democrats-denounce-right-wing-newspapers-20230428-o6hs2xsihvgmvngqkxzyqldyyy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A publisher of far-right websites and mailings designed to look like newspapers created a special online portal for top Illinois GOP candidates and activists to directly seek favorable coverage during last year’s elections, according to a newspaper report that prompted state Democrats to denounce the actions as “deceitful” to voters. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Brian Timpone, an ally and business partner of right-wing radio talk show host Dan Proft, used a password-protected portal that allowed Republicans to pitch stories, provide questions for interviews, place campaign announcements and run “verbatim” op-eds on websites and mailings that are published by the Local Government Information Services organization.)
— Democrats crow that “Fox News ratings tumble after Tucker Carlson’s firing.” In 2002, I led a group that succeeded in forcing Wheaton to force Comcast to carry Fox News.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Schools are failing when it comes to telling parents the truth about student achievement. Most parents think that their children are learning at grade level because they’re getting A’s and B’s. They’re not, and schools are sending a mixed message about achievement.” Thanks to my outstanding Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers, I got an ACT score of 24 and acceptance by UIC in 1966.

According to Wikipedia, “Carlson began his career in journalism as a fact-checker for Policy Review.” While I worked for GAO 1986-1997, I often worked as a fact-checker.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats say “String of losses sets Illinois GOP insiders against each other in fiery media blitz.” I should write a book about a) how Illinois Review under Fran Eaton and b) how Illinois Leader under Dan Proft treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/conservative-news-site-illinois-review-critical-gop-insiders
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A kerfuffle among conservative Republicans is raising some eyebrows around Illinois — in some ways echoing what Democrats say about the Illinois GOP. At issue are a series of provocative pieces published recently by Illinois Review, a longtime right-leaning commentator on the state of Illinois politics whose ownership recently changed hands. Last week, for instance, it raised questions about whether conservative megadonor Dick Uihlein is getting his money’s worth out of big contributions to a political action committee run by conservative operative and radio talk show host Dan Proft. Earlier, it called for the resignation of state GOP Chairman Don Tracy, saying the state party’s miserable showing in the November general election — including the defeat of Proft- and Uihlein-backed gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey — did not warrant Tracy’s retention. It also has reported that an investigation is underway into whether postal rules were broken when Tracy allowed the party establishment’s candidate for governor, Richard Irvin, to use its postal permit to lower costs for mailing campaign literature. Tracy urged Illinois Review to back off. “They do seem to be trying to divide the party,” Tracy said an interview. “They seem to be attacking more Republicans than Democrats.” Proft responded with some of his trademark snark but declined substantive comment. “Got another ‘bombshell’ there, do you, Greg?” he said in an email. “You go ahead and run with it.” Jeanne Ives, a Proft ally who also is mentioned in recent Illinois Review articles, also has a sharp “no comment” statement: “I don’t read their garbage,” she emailed. But Illinois Review Publisher Scott Kaspar said the new owners’ objectives are pretty clear. “Exposing corruption is sort of our main goal,” Kaspar said in an interview, because corruption is one of the reason the party has done poorly in recent cycles. “We need to clean up our house, so we can do better at the polls.” Kaspar pointed to the post about Proft, which suggested that one reason a slate of candidates backed by Proft for the Lyons Township High School District board fell short in the March election is Proft’s People Who Play By the Rules PAC reported spending just $3,725.56 on their behalf in a quarter in which his Starfish Consulting was paid $75,000 by the PAC and firms operated by associates another $67,000. “It struck us as odd that something like 38 times more money went to consultants rather than candidates,” Kaspar said, though he conceded that some of the group’s spending was not quite clear. That criticism — Uihlein’s money being wasted — is similar to comments political aides to incumbent Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker made after GOP gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey lost by double digits to Pritzker last November, despite millions of dollars of attack ads against him spent by Proft’s PAC using Uihlein donations. Another Illinois Review article blasted Tracy for recently saying that, like it or not, Illinois Republicans will have to start promoting the use of mail ballots if they hope to beat Democrats. Tracy didn’t talk about that until after November’s defeat, the article said, and didn’t mention that Illinois Democrats have allocated millions of dollars to implement such programs, while Illinois Republicans are operating on a “shoestring budget.” Another target of reporting by the publication is Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau. Pekau defeated Kaspar in the GOP primary for the 6th District congressional race last year. The two repeatedly have clashed in various settings, but Kaspar denied he’s using Illinois Review for a personal feud. One of Tracy’s predecessors as Illinois GOP chair, Pat Brady, said that, up to a point, Illinois Review and its new owners “have a point. Proft has had horrible results,” spending at least $130 million in the past couple of years on races for governor, Illinois Supreme Court judgeships and other losers, he said. But overall, the story behind the story may be no more complicated that a new publication trying to attract an audience and make money by attacking the party establishment, Brady continued, noting that Donald Trump and others have gained by such moves. Kaspar responded that, “You have people who understand what we’re doing and people who have something to hide.” Illinois Review in November announced its change in ownership from co-founder Fran Eaton to a group including Kaspar and conservative radio host Mark Vargas, who is the site’s editor. Update — Despite any claims to the contrary, there is “no basis in fact” that the party let Irvin use its postal permit, says Illinois GOP Executive Director Shaun McCabe.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them.” – Kevin Coyne

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Coyne, founder of the Safe Suburbs PAC, is celebrating the PAC”s achievements in Naperville in the April 4 election. Though the group’s endorsed candidates ‘faced a great disadvantage due to Naperville’s shifting political demographics, all 7 had very impressive finishes where 4 won seats on City Council and a 5th lost by less than 1 point.’ “Safe Suburbs USA started in Naperville in 2020 and largely in response to a local political trend that we found dismissive of police concerns and the warnings raised by the DuPage County and Will County SAs as to the SAFE T Act,” Coyne said on Twitter. “Since then, we have endorsed and aggressively supported 7 Naperville Council candidates. All 7 were Right-leaning non-incumbents running against largely Left-leaning candidates in a city that both Biden and Pritzker won by over 20 points each. Uphill battles to say the least.” Coyne trusts “These new councilmen, once paired with Mayor-elect and FOP endorsed Scott Wehrli, give Naperville an exceptionally strong pro-police council.” He said they “see no chance that this new majority will be dismissive of police concerns nor remain passive should future threats to public safety, such as the SAFE T Act, arise. “We are thrilled with this year’s local election results and are very proud of whatever impact we had in producing them. We look forward to future election successes, both in Naperville and throughout Chicagoland,” Coyne added. In the wake of the election Coyne, a former Naperville councilman, said it was “a very good night in Naperville and a couple of other communities for our supported candidates.” Safe Suburbs endorsed Josh McBroom, Meghna Bansal, Nag Jaiswal, and Nate Wilson for Naperville City Council. The council race featured a crowded field. In an updated report from Positively Naperville, McBroom won with 13,162 votes and 11.97% of the electorate. Wilson, who had a 41-lead over Bansal, also won with 10,430 and 9.49% of the vote. Other endorsees, Bansal and Jaiswal, lost. The campaign featured controversy after Coyne and others called out Naperville council member Theresa Sullivan over the Naperville Forward mailer for misleading voters. Sullivan runs the Naper Forward PAC, which supports leftist politics. Naperville mayor-elect Scott Wehrli, a part-time law enforcement officer, defeated councilman Benny White in the April 4 election. “We worked so hard to represent every voice in this community, and that’s been the amazing part of this journey — meeting so many wonderful people and learning so much about different groups, different cultures, different facets of this Naperville that we know that I never understood,” Wehrli said at his election party, DuPage Policy Journal previously reported. On his website, Wehrli said maintaining a safe, livable community was his first goal. “We work hard to be called one of the safest cities in America. Living without constant fear of street crime is a prime reason people live, move, shop and do business here,” Wehrli’s website reads. Safe Suburbs USA notes on its website that it “promotes public safety and the welfare of suburban residents throughout the USA by advocating and educating on issues relating to crime and its effect on suburban families. We recommend and promote agencies, candidates and programs which promote public safety and the rule of law.” The Naperville City Council will be sworn in on April 30.)

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/congress-should-repeal-special-immunity-it-gave-the-gun-industry
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why shouldn’t a jury be allowed to decide if promoting high-power, large cartridge, weapons of war to the average consumer makes that product unreasonably dangerous when used to murder civilians? They can do so for virtually any other type of product in America where the entire industry isn’t given special immunity by Congress or another legislative body. Why is gun manufacturing entitled to this special exemption? Gun ownership is protected by the 2nd Amendment, but gun manufacturing is not. By simply removing this special shield against civil liability, we would force gun manufacturers to consider how they market their most lethal weapons, and to whom. They would have to think about whether to make guns with handprint or fingerprint technology (like an iPhone) so only the purchaser who passed a background check could use the weapon. No one’s constitutional rights would be impinged, and one would be affirmed—the 7th Amendment right to trial by jury—a guarantee that our Founders intended to be just as sacrosanct as the 2nd Amendment and all other freedoms inscribed in the Bill of Rights.)

I share all of Trump’s aforesaid bad demographics. Because of that, I lack jury appeal. Because of that, the courts in the lawsuits that I have filed have granted the defendants summary judgment.

— Democrats ask “Can’t make sense of your college financial aid package?” and say “Here’s help.” My father made just enough money to disqualify me for any kind of college financial aid. Because of that, between November of 1964 and September of 1969, the overwhelming focus of my life was earning money a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and b) to buy new cars to get to/from work and school. I washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked as many hours that I could. That enabled me a) to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses; b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968; and c) to graduate debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger. However, my GPA suffered because I spent too much time working instead of studying. According to my critics/opponents, I had to work my way through college because I did not get any scholarships because I was not college material. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24.

My Democrat IRS superiors and supervisors ignored, dismissed, belittled, wasted, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that. They did that because I was so many of the following: Republican, conservative, draft avoider, union member, grievance filer, White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident 1948-1972. Starting in 1972, I deducted those courses, and in 1978, they disallowed those courses. They falsely argued that the courses were not job related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and that they were a distraction. They ignored the fact that the employee manual they had given me encouraged me to take the courses. They ignored the requirements of my position description the reason why I took the courses that I stated in my Loyola application.)

— Democrats say “How To Have An Authentic Job Search To Find A Company That Aligns With Your Values.” Democrats run the federal government. If you are not a Democrat or do not become a Democrat and you become a federal employee, the Democrats who run the federal government will not only assure that you will not have a successful career, they will waste your career and get rid of you. I never would have become a federal employee if my high school friend had not invited me to take the postal employment examination with him in 1966. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from the Post Office in 1966. Because my employment opportunities were bleak in 1970 because I was viewed as being draft bait, I took and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS in 1971 because I was unemployed because my Firestone Store boss had rudely filed me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The platform is not “Democrat Lite.” The Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. However, ever-increasingly, IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders talk and/or act like they reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, they use the Republican Party’s “Big Tent” policy to get rid of platform Republicans like me, that is, to get rid of conservatives like me. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like they are anti-conservative if not conservative-hating Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs. Ever-increasingly they take adverse actions against those like me who support the aforesaid planks. I should write a book about that. I would focus on IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders a) who rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) who rudely ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) who rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) who rudely ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) who rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) who rudely ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee (ICRC) member in 2007, g) who rudely almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) who rudely ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and i) who rudely ended my service on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/21/looting-as-way-of-life/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As for the street version of looting, Chicago’s next mayor, Brandon Johnson, refused to strongly condemn rioting in his city. Hundreds of “youths” rampaged downtown, attacking tourists and smashing things. But the mayor-elect seemed more worried that the little rascals might have become unpopular. “In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend,” he said. “It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.” It’s not their fault, you see. In 2020, Mr. Johnson was interviewed after looters ransacked dozens of stores in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The young newswoman repeatedly gave Mr. Johnson a chance to decry the lawlessness. But he would have none of it. Instead, he ranted against — you guessed it — corporations that make “profit.” You know, the ones that manufacture or sell things that make modern life possible. One of those awful corporations, Walmart, is closing four Chicago stores because they are losing too much money to thieves and are unable to protect employees and customers from violent criminals. Mr. Johnson insisted that the mobs of teens and 20-somethings cleaning out stores just want to be able to “eat.” That’s why they steal those yummy cigarettes, beer, jewels, Coach purses and smartphones. The same goes for a dozen looters who ransacked a Louis Vuitton store in nearby Oak Brook, Illinois, last year, making off with $100,000 in merchandise. They just want to eat, too. More and more companies are showing that they have finally had it with crime-ridden cities.)

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 $92,279-$104,583/year.

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Republican Puchalski donates to Conroy (COMMENT: Your political donations say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/641713218-republican-puchalski-donates-to-conroy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Donald Puchalski donated $500 to progressive Democratic DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy. Puchalski, of Addison, was a DuPage County Board member but lost in the fall 2022 election as an incumbent. He previously held a 1st District seat. The 68-year-old attorney had been a member of the DuPage County Board since 2005 when he was appointed to the public body. When running for re-election to the slot in 2022 he called for a need “to be conservative in spending” and suggested DuPage County keep “partisan politics off the board floor.” Puchalski’s former seat was from a traditionally conservative area of the county and included includes Bensenville, Wood Dale and parts of Elmhurst and Bloomingdale. His law firm, the Law Offices of Donald E. Puchalski focuses on immigration issues and domestic relations. He was previously a trustee for Addison Township, a member of the Addison Police Pension Board and a Republican precinct committeeman. “I think every government has to live within their means, and I think DuPage government has been very fiscally responsible and proactive,” Puchalski said when first appointed to the board in 2005. Puchalski and current GOP DuPage County Board member Sam Tornatore both donated to Conroy’s campaign at the same time after receiving financial support from GOP township organizations in Addison.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— Anheuser-Busch accused of racist, discriminatory hiring policies under the ‘cloak of equity’ – Chris Donaldson (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to not hire Republicans and to get rid of their employees who are Republican.)
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/04/18/anheuser-busch-accused-of-racist-discriminatory-hiring-policies-under-the-cloak-of-equity-1350992/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The maker of Budweiser and Bud Light as well as a slew of other liquid libations is being sued by a conservative legal group over a program that ostensibly promotes diversity in hiring in terms of women and minorities but is discriminatory toward white and Asian Americans in pursuit of equity, a racially exclusionary ideology that is pervasive in modern day Corporate America. In the federal civil rights complaint filed by America First Legal, which was founded by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the group requests that “the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) open a civil rights investigation of Anheuser-Busch’s systemic and discriminatory hiring, promotion, and job-training employment practices,” according to a news release posted on its website. “Under the cloak of ‘equity,’ woke companies like Anheuser-Busch proudly discriminate based on race, color, national origin, and sex in their employment practices,” the statement reads. “For example, Anheuser-Busch created a Leadership Accelerator Program that provides ‘formal mentorship, executive interaction, and leadership development curriculum for those who identify with historically underrepresented groups as they join our organization in a full-time capacity.’ Only specific individuals of specified races, colors, and national origins – notably excluding White and Asian Americans – are invited to apply.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: n Oregon widow recently filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) because officials won’t allow her to adopt children from the foster care system. Why won’t they let Jessica Bates adopt? Because she, as a practicing Christian, refuses to submit to gay and transgender ideologies. Bates’s complaint is worth reading for anyone concerned about religious freedom. According to her complaint, Bates “initially progressed through the application process without any problems” until ideological insanity reared its ugly head.)

As with all disparate impact analyses, that demolition of standards rests on an a priori truth: that there is no academic skills gap between whites and Asians, on the one hand, and blacks and Hispanics, on the other. Therefore, any test or evaluation on which blacks and Hispanics score worse than whites and Asians is biased and should be eliminated.)

— Democrats say “Where immigrants come from and where they go after reaching the US.” Employers want immigrants because employers want cheap labor. If there had been as many immigrants when I was young, they would gave gotten the jobs that I got. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The US is home to more immigrants than any other country – more than 45 million people, according to the latest Census estimates. That’s 13.6% of the US population, about the same as it was a century ago. But over the years, we’ve seen significant shifts in where immigrants to the US come from, and where they end up once they get here. . .Mexicans represent the largest group of immigrants living in the United States. That’s been true since 1980, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. And the Mexico-US route is the largest migration corridor in the world. . .Looking only at the population of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, the list of the top countries of origin shifts slightly. A Department of Homeland Security report in 2021 estimated that the top six countries of origin for undocumented immigrants were Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Honduras and China.)

STATELINE
— Democrats ask “Can you still buy an assault rifle in Illinois?”
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/can-you-still-buy-an-assault-rifle-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 720 ILCS 5/24-1.9 banned the “manufacture, possession, delivery, sale, and purchase of assault weapons, .50 caliber rifles, and .50 caliber cartridges.” This means that any weapon that falls into these categories are considered illegal to make or sell in the state after January 10. But what if an assault weapon was purchased before the legislation was passed? Would the resident be able to hold onto their weapon that was legal when they purchased it? The answer to this, it seems, is not so cut and dry. The legislation mentioned above states that it will be “unlawful for any person withing this State to knowingly possess an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge” beginning on Jan. 1, 2024. However, there is an exemption to this law. Illinois residents will be able to keep their assault rifles that they legally obtained before the law went into effect, but only if they follow certain requirements and limitations. For example, gun owners are required to submit an electronic endorsement affidavit form to the Illinois State Police by Oct. 1, 2023. This will include the gun’s make, model and serial number. The resident will also have to identify their Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) Card number. This will allow officials to see if the person is in lawful possession of the weapon and if they are able to have an exemption. Starting April 10, Illinois law will permit people to possess assault weapons and attachments on their private property only, according to Giffords Law Center. They will also be able to transport their weapon to another person’s private property, but only with the owner’s express permission. In addition, residents must make sure that the assault weapon is unloaded and enclosed in a case while it is being transported.)

They include my GAO superiors and supervisors.)
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/progressive-chicago-activists-push-billion-reparations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of University of Chicago students are continuing their campaign for their university to pay over $1 billion in reparations to Chicago’s South Side. University of Chicago Against Displacement (UCAD), an anti-gentrification student club, hosted an open house event on Thursday. “Come to our open house for some food, music, and good conversation!” the group’s Instagram post read. “This week we’ll be making and coloring our own zines.” According to University of Chicago’s library, a zine “is a self-published [fanzine] … produced in small print runs.” In February, the club had asked for $1 billion in reparations in grant funding for “long-term true affordable housing” from the university’s administration. The organization believes the money should be given to the city’s South Side over 20 years to prevent displacement. “The University exists as a legacy of chattel slavery,” UCAD’s Chicago Maroon op-ed read. “Moreover, it has been an active participant in segregation, redlining, and supporting developments that work to isolate the University from its neighbors and put Southsiders at risk of displacement from their homes.” The group also advocated for a $20 million annual fund for rental assistance, as well as expanding low-income housing and supporting STEM programs at local schools. “This is especially crucial at this moment as the Obama Center in Jackson Park increases land values and, in turn, rental prices,” UCAD wrote in a press release. “As residents deal with the economic hardships and an exacerbation of the homelessness crisis caused by COVID-19, these rent increases will only serve to further displace Southside residents,” it added. A University of Chicago spokesperson told Fox News Digital in February that the university aids Chicago’s South Side by supporting businesses, offering free college readiness programs and employing over 13,000 Chicago residents. UCAD and the University of Chicago did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for this story.)

VOCABULARY
— Trade-off (COMMENT: What are the biggest trade-offs in life that you have made? Mine include a) trading-off my career in the federal government by staying a Republican, by complaining about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and by becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988 when I was 40 years old, b) trading off any chance for leadership roles in the Milton Township Republican Organization by staying a conservative, c) trading-off freedom from retaliation by filing lawsuits, d) trading-off everything that I could do with 10+ hours of my life each and every day by spending that time putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. One small example would be my trading in my 2016 Ford Mustang V-6 ( https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/2016/v6-coupe-2d/ ) for a 2023 Ford Mustang GT Premium ( https://www.edmunds.com/ford/mustang/ ) instead of taking the time to find a buyer who would pay me lots more for my car. According to Kelly Blue Book, my 2016 Ford Mustang should be worth $26,293 private sale and $25,334 trade-in, but the dealer offers only $21,000 or $4,334 less.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats say “Kulovits, Long top the field in Wheaton Warrenville District 200.” My precinct includes the district’s headquarters, a middle school, and a grade school. While Rutledge, Kulovits, Long, Hjerpe, and Bharadwa got 141, 140, 124, 107, and 65 votes respectively, Hobbs, Erkenswick, Sohmer, and Garrett got only 54, 51, 51, and 43 votes respectively. Of the 490 voters in my precinct, 198 (40%) voted. The DuPage County overall turnout was only 19%. According to the DuPage County Election Division, 80,380 Vote-By-Mail ballots were requested countywide, but only 35,548 have been tabulated. In Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, those who voted for the anti-slate candidates ( https://negatetheslate.com/ ) voted to continue, if not to increase, teacher emphasis on promoting the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms instead of improving student performance. Why are only 53% of White students in the district reading at grade level while 63% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 24% of Hispanic students in the district reading at grade level while 41% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 16% of Black students in the district reading at grade level while 30% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? Why are only 43% of Asian students in the district reading at grade level while 81% are reading at grade level in Naperville CUSD 203? How are male students doing compared to female students?
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230404/kulovits-long-top-the-field-in-wheaton-warrenville-district-200-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Four challengers — Spencer Garrett, Amy Erkenswick, David Sohmer and Kimberly Hobbs — campaigned together under the banner of “parental rights” for majority control of the board. When the dust cleared over Wheaton Tuesday night, at least three of the four slate candidates appeared to come up short in their bids. Incumbents Julie Kulovits and Dave Long emerged from the crowded field with 8,040 and 6,888 votes, respectively, according to unofficial totals as of 11 p.m. Erkenswick led newcomer Erik Hjerpe for third place by a margin of just 61 votes. Trailing were Sohmer with 6,139 votes and Garrett with 5,997. Anjali Bharadwa, running a solo campaign for the second straight election, had 3,172 votes. In the contest for the lone 2-year seat on the board, John Rutledge, a former city councilman, bested Hobbs 8,107 to 6,744 votes. . .Garrett, Sohmer, Erkenswick and Hobbs first showed up to District 200 school board meetings last year to raise objections to “Gender Queer,” an illustrated memoir by nonbinary author Maia Kobabe. The book, which the American Library Association named the most challenged title of 2021, is available in high school libraries. “I can’t believe the pictures that I saw from this disgusting, lewd book,” Garrett told the board in August. Propelled off the sidelines, the like-minded parents formed a local political action committee that reported raising more than $26,000, according to Reform for Illinois’ Sunshine Database. Some of the committee’s donors were evangelical church elders and Christian school board members. Awake Illinois, a Naperville group that has pushed back against mask mandates and called Gov. J.B. Pritzker “a groomer” for signing a controversial law updating sex education standards in K-12 schools, also endorsed Garrett, Erkenswick, Sohmer and Hobbs. The slate candidates believe parents ought to have a greater say over what is taught in public schools and perceive “ideological issues” in the district’s curriculum. The nearly 12,000-student district has an opt-out process for parents to excuse teens from materials they find objectionable. But the four-person slate favored another approach: an opt-in system. School board incumbents and their allies opposed limiting access to books that feature LGBTQ characters and deferred to librarians in curating materials. “The fact that every student would want to see materials that represent their experience, whether they’re gay, straight, transsexual, still deciding, I think that’s very reasonable,” Hjerpe said. Board members defended the district’s process for developing curriculum. The teachers union supported Long, Kulovits, Hjerpe and Rutledge. “Seventy-three percent of our educators have their master’s degree, and they are very well-qualified and capable of doing the job,” said Kulovits, who was appointed to a vacant board seat last summer. Critical race theory, a university-level academic discipline that examines how racism is embedded within legal and social systems, is not taught within District 200 schools. But several slate candidates still broached the topic during the campaign. They also criticized the district’s equity initiatives, particularly implicit bias training for teachers. “I don’t believe in showing partiality in any way in the classroom and the district. We should treat all people the same. With that said, regarding the word ‘equity,’ it gives, just the word itself, gives me great concern,” Garrett said. “We should not lower standards and expectations.” District 200 covers Wheaton and Warrenville, as well as portions of Carol Stream, Winfield and West Chicago.)

How many of the un-tabulated VBM ballots are from Warrenville School District 200 voters? For Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Erkenswick leads Hjerpe by just 61 votes, 6,507 to 6,446. Based on past experience, anticipate that as DCED tabulates VBM ballots, Erkenswick will gain few if any votes.

https://wirepoints.org/chicagoans-vote-to-double-down-on-the-same-policies-that-cost-lightfoot-her-job-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But what Chicagoans voted for on April 4 was someone more extreme and exactly opposite of what the city needed. To reduce Chicago’s nation-high homicide rate, Chicago needed a new mayor willing to take on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s unwillingness to prosecute dangerous criminals. A mayor willing to challenge Judge Tim Evans’ decarcerationist agenda. A mayor willing to jam shut the system’s revolving door for criminals. Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson won’t do any of that. Instead, look for him to embrace the policies of Foxx and Evans. In his own words, he’s for defunding the police and defends looting as “an outbreak of incredible frustration and anguish” tied to “a failed racist system.” Watch for police morale to fall further, for criminals to be emboldened and for crime to continue to spike in Chicago. To improve Chicago’s dismal educational outcomes – only 1 in 20 black students at CPS can do math at grade level – the city needed a new mayor to champion math and reading proficiency as well as educational excellence, merit and achievement. You won’t get that from Brandon Johnson and his Chicago Teachers Union. Johnson has already said that as a teacher he pushed to eliminate standards, stopped giving homework, and reduced test prep as a way of “rebelling against the structure.” For him, the concept of “equity,” not excellence, will dominate, and kids will lose. Watch for student outcomes to worsen as standards are removed. And as for the city’s economic climate and business friendliness, Chicago needed a new mayor who would make the city affordable again by growing the tax base, not the tax rate. Who would encourage companies to come to the city, not lambast them as a cause of social ills. Johnson will do the opposite. He’s promised to target businesses and the wealthy to pay for his social programming. We’ve already seen leaders in business and finance – like Ken Griffin and Citadel and Boeing – leave. Don’t be surprised to see a continued, steady outflow. The damage could be deep. The silver lining in all this? A few years under Johnson may finally push the center left in Chicago to finally give a reformer the support of 50 percent plus one. The question is, how bad of a hit will Chicago have taken during that time? To its safety. To its social cohesion. To its finances. To its population. To its economic base. Will it be fixable, especially with all its debts? We hope so.)

GREENSBURG DAILY NEWS
— Equal opportunity doesn’t mean equal outcome – Paul W. Barada (COMMENT: My Trinity Lutheran Grade School, Hope Lutheran Grade School, and Crete-Monee High School teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy. But what if instead, they had a) stressed my demographics (White, male, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America only since 1844, my parents had less money than many of my classmates’ parents, my parents never attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school) and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who did not share my demographics (minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, those whose ancestors had been in America longer than mine, those whose parents had more money than mine, and those whose parents had college degrees) and who did better than me, did so because they got preference? I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of high school class and my ACT score was only 24. Because my teachers stressed individual responsibility and meritocracy, I blamed myself for my not getting better grades and for my ACT score not being higher. But what if I had blamed preference that my classmates got because they did not share my demographics? Many of those who did better than me were female, non-Missouri Synod Lutheran, non-100% German American, had ancestors who had been in America longer than mine, had parents who had more money than mine, and had parents who had college degrees.)

PEW RESEARCH

I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because of what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Better yet, I should sue them. Ever-increasing, my critics/opponents see that when they take adverse actions against me, no one comes to my defense.
