https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-auto-insurance-rates-rising-illinois-20220308-mnfo7e7h4bdydfpu3rfja7hvee-story.html
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a conservative old White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women. How soon, if not already, will Democrats demand that conservative old White male Republicans disclose when their ancestors immigrated to America, where they immigrated from, where they lived, what they did, etc.? All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. They always lived in northeast Illinois. On my father’s side, they worked in a brick factory in Chicago, homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete, and then operated Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side, they were share-croppers and then bought and operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sheilacallaham/2021/12/26/signs-that-age-equity-is-gaining-workplace-relevance-at-last/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While progress toward workplace age equity has been slow, this past year shows definite signs of improvement. As a result, there is an elevated awareness of workplace age bias and discrimination and the need for companies and organizations to address it. Earlier this year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made it very clear: job postings conveying preference — for example, “recent graduate,” young,” “energetic,” are examples of a recruiting practice that may involve systemic age discrimination. The update provided transparency by explaining the use of administrative and litigation tools used to identify and pursue systemic discriminatory practices. In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its Global Report on Ageism and issued a call-to-action for all ages. In collaboration with the United Nations, the 200-page report defined a myriad of ways ageism manifests across the age spectrum. Promoting the report’s release, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus underscored how insidious and socially acceptable ageism is and how important it is for all countries to participate in actions to prevent it. At the same time, the Urban Institute released the results of a study showing how the unemployment rate for older workers was at the highest annual rate on record–more than double that of younger workers. Not only is it more challenging for older workers to find employment, the lack of opportunity often forces them to dip into retirement savings or take early social security, robbing them of future earnings.)

HISTORY NEWS NETWORK
— SEVEN EX-PRESIDENTS HAVE TRIED TO RECLAIM THE OFFICE. WILL THERE BE AN EIGHTH? – Ronald L. Feinman
https://historynewsnetwork.org/blog/154567
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If he ends up running, Trump would be the 8th former president to attempt to return to the office. Only one, Grover Cleveland, was successful. Three others—Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and Theodore Roosevelt—-ran as third party candidates. Three others—Ulysses S. Grant, Herbert Hoover, and Gerald Ford— attempted to run after leaving the Presidency, but failed to accomplish that goal. . .Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) (1893-1897) is the only president to win, then lose, and then regain the presidency. In an era of Republican dominance, the conservative Cleveland was the only Democratic president between James Buchanan before the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He is best remembered for supporting the Interstate Commerce Act (1887), supporting a lower protective tariff that only came about in his second term, demonstrating white supremacist views toward African Americans, native Americans, and Asian Americans, intervening in the suppression of the Pullman Strike of 1894 in his second term, and opposing the western free silver crusade headed by William Jennings Bryan in 1896. Cleveland also appointed four Supreme Court Justices in his two terms, and utilized the veto power more times than any president, except for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cleveland was also an anti imperialist, refusing to annex Hawaii when Benjamin Harrison tried to arrange a treaty as he left office in 1893, refusing to intervene directly in the Cuban war against their Spanish masters in 1895, and opposing the Spanish American War and American intervention in the Filipino Insurrection under his successor, William McKinley.)

— Fox News Host Won’t Glorify Kyle Rittenhouse: ‘He’s Not A Hero Here’ – Curtis M. Wong (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who glorify and praise, pander to, serve as operatives or dupes for, cover up the wrongdoing of, and/or give money to those who have taken adverse actions against me. They stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks. They gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012. They ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011. They ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004. They ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007. They almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. They ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. They ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004.)
