https://cis.org/Bensman/Florida-Gateway-Data-Shows-Most-Migrant-Flights-Landing-Gov-DeSantiss-Sunshine-State
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.)

Whitmer offered Michigan landlords a “newcomer rental subsidy” to house illegal aliens who are facing deportation.

— Elite schools are starting to require SAT scores again.

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. I was able to get that score even though instead of studying, I washed dishes for the minimum wage ($12.41/hour in today’s dollars) in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights evenings and Saturdays during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee and full-time during the summer of 1965. I used the money that I earned and saved to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966 to commute to/from classes at UIC.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2024/03/30/migrants-move-chicago-park-district
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Torres said the only reason they’re still relying on city shelters is because he hasn’t received federal authorization to work — a process that can drag on for months. “We need a work permit for everyone to be able to become independent from the shelters,” Torres told a reporter through a translator. “We are all in the shelters because we do not have a work permit to be able to depend on ourselves.” When asked what work he would like to do, he replied simply: “Anything.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Understanding the Democrats’ immigration strategy – Amil Imani
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/03/understanding_the_democrats_immigration_strategy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democrats’ unrelenting focus on immigration, particularly the issue of uncontrolled immigration, is cause for concern that goes beyond mere debate and speculation. Beneath the surface, posturing lies a deception that extends beyond the mere games of representation and power in the United States. The Democrats’ emphasis on immigration is not a mere coincidence or a short-term political maneuver. Rather, it is deeply rooted in their long-term vision of reshaping the demographic and political landscape of the United States. By advocating for more inclusive immigration policies, the Democrats aim to solidify their support base and gain a strategic advantage in future elections.)

— Washington Post takes aim at ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ writer Francis Scott Key after namesake Baltimore bridge collapse. Because of his mixed record on racial issues, monuments to Key have been defaced, and critics have called for institutions named after him to be renamed. – Madeline Martin
https://thepostmillennial.com/washington-post-takes-aim-at-star-spangled-banner-writer-francis-scott-key-after-namesake-baltimore-bridge-collapse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, however, the Washington Post decided that there was a more important discussion to be had. You see the bridge collapse and the deaths and the horror and thee economic impact don’t translate to racial injustice, inclusivity or reparations and that simply would not suffice for the newspaper darling of the leftist gestapo. And so it followed that the Washington Post frankensteined together their own special contribution to the annals of history that will one day recount the tragedy. The issue here was the man who the bridge was named after, one Francis Key Scott. This was the real meat of the story, the rest just gristle and unsavory bits to be butchered out by WaPo the Woke. And so by Wednesday, the Washington Post’s London correspondent Annabelle Timsit had penned an article titled “Who was Francis Scott Key, controversial poet the bridge is named after?” Francis Scott Key is best known for writing the poem that became America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” He wrote the lyrics the morning after an 1814 British attack on Fort McHenry, which is right by the collapsed bridge. “As The Washington Post previously reported, ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ did not become the national anthem until more than a century after it was written because of controversy, partly over Key’s racist views,” the Post wrote. “One section of the poem’s third verse, in particular, has come under scrutiny from those who say it was intended to mock or threaten African Americans who escaped slavery to join the British forces, after being promised land in exchange for their service,” the paper continued. The verse in question reads, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And The Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The Post also reminded readers that Key was a slave owner who opposed abolition and made racist remarks about black people. However, the paper also acknowledged that critics have pointed out that as a lawyer, Key defended several slaves, and he freed several of his own slaves. Because of his mixed record on racial issues, monuments to Key have been defaced, and critics have called for institutions named after him to be renamed. In 2017, vandals defaced the Francis Scott Key Monument in Baltimore with red paint and spray-painted “Racist Anthem” and “blood on his hands.”)

Before Haley ended her campaign, Murkowski told NBC News that she wasn’t sure how she’d approach the presidential election if Haley dropped out — and signaled she wasn’t alone in her uncertainty. “Lisa Murkowski is not the only one in this camp right now,” she said. Murkowski is among the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack and became a target for Trump and his allies.)

I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. Gattis died on July 5, 1967 from injuries he suffered in his first deployment in Quang Tri province. My critics/opponents stressed that unlike Gattis who enlisted, I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. When Gattis died, I was working for the Park Forest Post Office, earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension, and driving a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. My critics/opponents stressed that I paint myself as being conservative, Republican, and patriotic. They stressed that because of my health problems, if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. I could not run because I had a bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. They painted me as being a big coward and a big hypocrite. They stressed that because I avoided the draft, I was able to buy a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 and that I drove that Charger from NIU to Florida for spring breaks in 1969 and 1970. They called me “Daytona Dave.” The Vietnam War did not end until April 30, 1975. Prior to then, while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I bought a new 1972 Covette in 1971. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974. I got promoted to GS-12, currently $97,079/year, in 1974. I completed 13 graduate evening business courses at Loyola. I went on vacations to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaica.)

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more LGBTQ.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/lgbtq/2024/03/29/transgender-rights-summit-chicago-health-department-lgbtq-rights
— Immigration advocates use the bridge collapse to stress that immigrants take bad jobs, jobs that Americans fail/refuse to take. I took bad jobs. To have money to buy cars and to pay for college expenses, I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, e) delivered mail 1966-1969, and f) worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. If I still would have gotten those jobs, my salaries would have been lower because illegals drive salaries down for bad jobs.)

— ‘708’ mental health taxing boards: Are Illinois voters schizoid or just depressed? – Mark Glennon
https://wirepoints.org/708-mental-health-taxing-boards-are-illinois-voters-schizoid-or-just-depressed-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why would anybody in Illinois vote to create a new taxing authority to add to property tax bills? With property taxes being the second highest among the states and with polls consistently saying they are a top voter concern, you wouldn’t think such a thing could pass in a referendum anywhere the state. But many Illinois townships and counties vote to do just that, creating what are called “708 boards.” The boards are specifically empaneled to address local mental health needs and can only be created by local voter referendums. Some 90 of them now exist, according to a group called Advocate for 708. Proponents say they help fill gaps in available mental health services. Panel members are appointed by township or county boards, which also approve grants. The 708 boards are taxing jurisdictions with their own power to levy a local property tax of up to 0.15% of assessed value. The cap is set by state law. That’s typically a small amount for an average homeowner, supporters say – “less than the price of a weekly cup of coffee ($1.85),” according to Advocate for 708. Illinois, however, is already notorious for the number of different units of government it has – 8,923 by one count – far more than any other state. A new 708 panel means another line item on property tax bills.)

They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat and especially if I had been a minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

https://townhall.com/columnists/print/2636473
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans’ embrace of “diversity” has been an unmitigated disaster, as illustrated most recently by Sen. Katie Britt, whose response to President Biden’s State of the Union address came with a double dose of diversity. Why was this first-term senator chosen? To boost her reelection chances? She’s from the reddest state in the Union, won her last election by 30 points, and her term doesn’t end until 2026. Because she’s an amazing public speaker? Quite obviously, it wasn’t that. She gave the response because she’s not a white male. The last time Republicans picked a white man to give the GOP response was in 2012, when Gov. Mitch Daniels gave a great speech, despite the glaring absence of any blubbering over the unique suffering of women and minorities. Which brings us to Katie. Asked to give the GOP response, she delivered it from her kitchen table because she’s a mom just like you, suburban woman who will never vote Republican. She not only was “diverse” herself, but she made sure to drag a minority into her argument against Biden’s border policy, which is to have no border. An open border, Britt told us, is bad for the illegals. This was in accordance with the modern rule of etiquette requiring that no policy be criticized unless it can be shown that it harms someone other than whites, men or Americans. Thus, for example, affirmative action has been actively screwing white people out of college admissions, jobs and promotions since at least 1970. (Allan Bakke found this out in 1973, when he was rejected from the University of California, Davis, medical school in order to make way for hilariously less-qualified minorities.) Even after decades of this open, egregious race discrimination, Republicans are terrified of stating the obvious: Discriminating against white people is unfair to white people. Instead, the preferred argument is: “It’s not good for black people, either!” Perhaps, but they’re not complaining. And we’re still stuck with the unfairness to whites. It is a remarkable fact that, after more than half a century of rank race discrimination against whites, the Supreme Court finally decided affirmative action was unconstitutional only after it was shown that racial preferences harm Asians. Similarly, Britt’s argument against the Biden policy of dragging millions of illegal aliens into our country was not that it’s unfair to Americans, although it’s their home that’s being wrecked. No, it was that our nonexistent border is bad for Mexicans. Thus, Britt said: “I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex-trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped. “The cartels put her on a mattress in a shoebox of a room, and they sent men through that door, over and over again, for hours and hours on end. “We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it.” Democrats are permanently destroying the greatest country on Earth — which happens to be where we live — but Rosalita’s life has gone from a negative 9, living in Mexico, to a negative 10 being human-trafficked. As with affirmative action, the GOP can only attack illegal immigration by saying it’s bad for the illegal immigrants, who apparently are driven by some invisible force to stream into our country. Their illegal behavior is something we’re doing to them. Help! Someone keeps burning down my house! GOP: Oh my gosh — was the arsonist hurt? In producing a diverse person to make her case, Britt botched the story six ways from Sunday. As we now know, the serial rapes didn’t happen in this country, but in Mexico. Even if they had occurred here, who did Britt imagine was doing the raping? As described in my book “Adios, America!”, child rape is rife in Latin America. It’s their culture, having nothing to do with our enticing open border. My idea: Let’s not let that rape culture come here. The rapes also didn’t happen under Biden, but under President George W. Bush. So that was great. Britt’s bleating for a diverse person gave Democrats something to talk about other than the thousands of American lives snuffed out by illegals at a rate of about 40 a week. Britt could have talked about 27-year-old Washington State Trooper Christopher Gadd, killed days before the SOTU by an illegal in a “sanctuary state”; 10-year-old A.J. Wise, killed while walking home from school last month by an illegal alien hit-and-run driver in Midland, Texas; Travis Wolf, killed in Missouri by a boozed-up illegal in December — the night before Travis’ 12th birthday; Diane Hill Luckett, mother of three, who died in March of last year after being smashed into by a drunk illegal alien with a string of criminal convictions to his name (and zero deportations); or David Breaux and Karim Abou Najm, stabbed to death by an illegal alien on a killing spree in Davis, California, last April. Half of the murdered Americans I just listed were black. But when it comes to immigration, black Americans might as well be white men. “Illegal immigrant” trumps “American” because diversity is our greatest strength.)

My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $65,165/year because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My Social Security is only $2,612/year because it is dramatically reduced because I get a CSRS pension. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I used my income to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. I paid into Social Security for 10 years 1964-1973 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automobile assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.)
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/money-income-need-to-live-comfortably-us-data

The research also revealed that it takes the most money to live comfortably as a single person in New York City, requiring $66.62 in hourly wages, or an annual salary of $138,570. In six cities, a family must make over $300k to raise two kids comfortably. Two working adults need to make a particularly high combined income in San Francisco ($339,123); San Jose ($334,547); Boston ($319,738); Arlington, VA ($318,573); New York City ($318,406); and Oakland, CA ($316,243) to raise two children with enough money for needs, wants and savings.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/10/donald-trump-nikki-haley-voters-protest-2024-election/72868201007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All are longtime Republicans who backed Nikki Haley in her presidential bid. All held leadership positions in her campaign. And all three are deeply skeptical of Donald Trump, or outright opposed to him. MacGovern won’t vote for Trump. Giles doesn’t see herself supporting Trump this time after casting ballots for him twice. While Moore – also a two-time Trump voter – said she is leaning against backing him again, calling him a “self-serving narcissistic and a bully and he is not the role model I want for my children and grandchildren.” Now that Haley has exited the GOP presidential primary on the heels of big losses on Super Tuesday, attention is turning to Trump’s general election campaign and whether he can unite the GOP behind him to take on President Joe Biden. Haley demonstrated in state after state that a significant minority of primary voters wanted a candidate other than Trump, and the question is whether they will accept the polarizing former president as their nominee. The answer for some is an emphatic no. “I could never vote for Donald Trump,” MacGovern said.)

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/equity/migrant-crisis-arrived-oak-park-cold-night
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scaman says Cook County is reimbursing the village for monthly expenses of more than $300,000. “At this point, we’re going to see all the money we invested,” she said. At its Jan. 23 meeting, Oak Park trustees authorized staff to pursue a grant of $1.9 million through the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. The village received notice the following week that grant was approved. The funding will be used to provide aid to asylum-seekers through June 30. That will enable the village to continue helping migrants in a different shelter because asylum-seekers staying at the Carleton and West Cook YMCA must leave by the end of February.)

WEDNESDAY JOURNAL
— The uncomfortable truth – Jonathan Panton
https://www.oakpark.com/2024/02/20/the-uncomfortable-truth/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some may live in denial, but entering the United States illegally is a crime. The village of Oak Park has continually used the term “asylum-seeker” to hide the truth. First, the term “asylum-seeker” is misleading. Applicants seeking asylum protection have the burden of (1) proving that they suffered past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution; (2) the applicant is a member of a protected ground (race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, political opinion); (3) there is a connection between the harm the applicant suffered and their protected ground; and (4) the applicant either fears harm from the home country’s government or the home country is unable or unwilling to control a private person. INA§101(a)(42)(A). Asylum is designed to protect those who meet these four elements. In the fiscal year of 2023, asylum relief was denied in the majority of cases. While some individuals are genuinely escaping persecution, there are many others who unlawfully enter the United States for economic opportunities. This does not warrant asylum protection. The primary job of a government is to keep its citizens safe. In 2023, Customs and Border Patrol had 3,201,144 encounters with illegal immigrants. A serious concern is the lack of vetting of illegal immigrants in the United States. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens stated on X (Twitter) that his agents arrested an average of 47 individuals every day in 2023 who had “serious criminal histories.” Moreover, those figures only included individuals who have been apprehended. In 2023, 860,000 “gotaways” unlawfully entered the United States. These individuals pose safety concerns since their criminal backgrounds and whereabouts are unknown to law enforcement agencies. Oak Park’s Village Board broke its duty to residents by approving a $1.9 million grant providing various services for immigrants, some of whom may be illegal. The $360,000 allocated toward giving illegal immigrants various legal services is wasteful. The role of the government is to provide public services like police, fire, roads, schools. I don’t recall the village paying for residents’ legal services spent appealing their outrageous property tax bills. Yet Oak Park has no issue doling out money for legal representation to individuals whose first act in the United States may have been a crime.)

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— UPWARD MOBILITY TOUGHER IN ILLINOIS THAN IN REST OF MIDWEST, MOST OF U.S. – Joe Tabor (COMMENT: In terms of education, how successful have you been compared to your parents? 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. Nevertheless, thanks to my outstanding parents, with money I earned, I earned a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a professional license when I was 32. In terms of buying new cars, how successful have you been compared to your parents? My father did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door 6-cylinder 1967 Chevrolet. Thanks to my outstanding parents, with money I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint when I was 17, a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 when I was 19, a 1969 Dodge Charger SE when I was 20, and a new 1972 Corvette when I was 23.)

To demonize me as being not only a racist, but as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, sexist, bigot, and even worse things, my critics/opponents have always stressed that none of my classmates, teachers, or school administrators were minorities while I attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, and Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966.

— A history of Taylor Swift’s political involvement — and how it could resurface in 2024. – Rachel Schilke
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2832163/history-taylor-swift-political-involvement-resurface-2024/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Swift endorsed her first Democratic candidates in October: Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives from her home state of Tennessee. She also knocked now-Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who defeated Bredesen in the general election. Cooper won reelection that year. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. “I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” she added. 2019 The Lover star vocally supported the Equality Act, and in 2019, she began Pride Month by writing an open letter to then-Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) encouraging him to vote in favor of the bill. “While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office,” Swift said in a release posted to X, called Twitter at the time. “Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change.” She also included the letter she wrote to Alexander in her post, pointing to his support of a resolution honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. “This was a positive step 100 years ago and I hope we can all continue to put aside partisan affiliations when it comes to matters of basic human rights,” Swift wrote, referring to the amendment. She also created a petition on change.org to urge the Senate to pass the Equality Act.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A majority of Americans report non-belonging, a cumulative term that includes people who are unsure or ambiguous about whether they belong and those experiencing exclusion. Sixty-four percent of Americans reported non-belonging in the workplace, 68% in the nation, and 74% in their local community.)

CREATORS SYNDICATE
— Now That Trump Has Wrapped up GOP Nomination and Leads Biden in Every Swing State, Here Are the 11 Things Desperate Democrats Are Willing to Do to Win – Wayne Allyn Root
https://www.creators.com/read/wayne-allyn-root/02/24/now-that-trump-has-wrapped-up-gop-nomination-and-leads-biden-in-every-swing-state-here-are-the-11-things-desperate-democrats-are-willing-to-do-to-win
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. We could see more indictments of Trump from now through the election. Maybe even a big one out of left field close to the election — a so-called October surprise. 2. They will try to convict Trump before the November election — and if possible, lead him out of the courtroom in handcuffs, straight to prison. 3. They will keep trying to disqualify Trump — at least until they get a final ruling out of the Supreme Court. 4. If all else fails, I fear the deep state will try to assassinate Trump. They really are that evil. 5. And if all that fails, Biden will drop out of the race for health reasons, and Democrats will choose Michelle Obama as their 2024 presidential nominee. I’m no Johnny-come-lately to this prediction. I made it in print a year ago — on Jan. 22, 2023. The only issue here is, does Michelle want it? If not, they’ll either replace Biden with California Gov. Gavin Newsom or stick with Biden but double down on the other 10 planks in this column to rig the election against Trump. 6. In conjunction with all the above, Democrats will try their best to start World War III as both a WMD (weapon of mass distraction) and to stir up patriotism for the incumbent Democrat president. 7. Democrats could cancel the election with the country paralyzed by waves of deadly terror attacks (with terrorists that Biden waved in with his open borders) or an EMP attack that cripples our water, sewage, electric grid and infrastructure. 8. China will invade Taiwan this year. China needs to move before the election — while the brain-dead man with dementia and diapers, who is bribed and blackmailed by China, is still in control. 9. The COVID pandemic was just a trial run. Another pandemic could strike America in the run-up to the election — but this one will be far deadlier. This will result in panic, hysteria and a 100% mail-in ballot election (the perfect recipe for voter fraud). 10. Black Lives Matter was just a trial run. Expect mass anarchy in the run-up to the election, but much larger than the BLM demonstrations in the summer of 2020 — this time involving not just disgruntled black rioters and looters but millions of illegal aliens combined with pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protestors. 11. And most importantly, combine everything above with the same game plan from 2020: Mail-in ballots combined with no voter ID. Ballot harvesting (a crime everywhere else in the world but America). Unsupervised ballot drop boxes. No signature match on ballots. Billions of dollars spent on “election integrity” by globalist billionaires — with the real purpose to rig the turnout in favor of Democrats. Social media rigging the election by censoring the news feed to allow only fake positive news about Democrats and only negative stories about Trump. And of course, the simplest scam of all: Keep counting votes for days after election night until Democrats win. Count on much of that, or all of that, happening over the next nine months.)

— Whether a racial minority or majority at their school, white teachers struggle with race relations – AMBY SHARITA FORREST (COMMENT: During the almost 3 years that I worked for the Post Office, almost 9 years for GAO, and almost 18 years for GAO, I worked for, worked with, and supervised many Blacks.)
https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/920500785
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a study of white teachers’ sense of belongingness at their schools, education professor Jennifer L. Nelson found that these teachers were often ill-equipped for discussions about racial issues with Black colleagues and students because they had little prior experience thinking about or confronting race in their family, educational and previous work environments. White workers’ emotions about race and reactions to racial differences in the workplace are triggered by identity threat-induced culture shock, researchers suggest in a new study. White teachers who worked at a school where the faculty was majority Black felt shocked, rejected, uncomfortable and anxious when racial discussions arose and their racial or professional identities were challenged, the researchers found. When triggered by feeling different – regardless of whether they were a racial minority or majority in their workplace –white teachers responded by practicing social avoidance, shunning intergroup relations and ducking conversations about race. “Most of the white teachers in our sample hailed from racially segregated social worlds – attending predominantly white high schools and universities” that left them unprepared to handle race relations in their workplace, said first author Jennifer L. Nelson, a professor of education policy, organization and leadership at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, who co-wrote the study with Tiffany D. Johnson, a business professor at Georgia Institute of Technology.)

— Illinois GOP Ignores Will of the People, Pushes Anti-Trump Agenda – Mark Vargas
https://www.newsmax.com/markvargas/illinois-gop-anti-trump/2024/01/31/id/1151718/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So back in Illinois: What’s the current position of the state Republican Party? According to the embattled state party chairman Don Tracy, the party will remain “neutral” during this primary season. In other words, they want to wait it out. It’s too early and there’s not enough data to make any predictions just yet. But again, this should come as no surprise. During the 2020 presidential primary, it was reported that owners in Tracy’s family-owned business — where he is an owner — donated $6,193 to Biden’s campaign. In 2018, owners made only a $250 donation to Trump. But it was only a year ago when Tracy wanted to reevaluate the state party’s so-called “neutrality” policy after a Trump-endorsed conservative grassroots Republican defeated the state party’s preferred establishment-backed candidate for governor in the 2022 Illinois Republican primary by 43 points. Tracy then blamed the Trump-endorsed candidate for all of the 2022 statewide midterm election losses — a move that angered the powerful and influential grassroots base of the party. And last spring key Illinois GOP party leaders, including national committeeman Richard Porter — a close friend and adviser to Tracy and Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel — endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the presidential primary. During Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair this past August, Porter was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune where on-record, he repeated a line often used by the Democrats and said that Trump was running for president simply to avoid going to jail. After both the Chicago Tribune and Illinois Review reported on his on-the-record comments, Porter was in panic mode. Realizing that his inner monologue was now public record, he offered a long, meandering follow-up statement to try and clarify his statement. But the damage was already done. But none of this is accidental and multiple sources in Illinois confirm that Illinois Republican Party leaders are playing the “neutral” card because they are holding out hope that one of Trump’s 91 criminal charges — 44 federal and 47 state — will stick and he will be jailed before the Republican National Convention in August, leaving Haley or DeSantis as the Republican nominee for president who will face Biden in November. State party leaders will emphatically and publicly deny that this is the strategy, but this is the truth. And it’s the only reason that explains why they are remaining selectively neutral this presidential primary season — for fear of angering DeSantis or Haley by coming out so quickly in support of Trump. But the pattern is clear. Last March, the Illinois Republican Party hosted a fundraiser that featured former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who served as attorney general under Trump. Barr frequently attacks Trump in media interviews and says the GOP presidential front-runner is destroying the Republican Party. And who served on the host committee? Tracy and Porter. And when former President Trump visited southern Illinois in June 2022, none of the state party leaders, including Tracy and Porter bothered to show up. That’s right: The 45th president of the United States of America and the leader of the national party shows up in your backyard, and the state Republican party leaders decide to skip the party. It’s no wonder Democrats control every lever in the state — the establishment, anti-Trump Republicans within the state party allow it.)

— Republican Georgia governor Brian Kemp signs bill that would define antisemitism in state law – Jeff Amy (COMMENT: Democrats demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans as being antisemites, and especially Republicans like me who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Democrats encourage/use/force Jewish people to take adverse actions against Republicans like me. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on the on the many/big adverse actions that my Democrat Post Office (1966-1969), IRS (1971-1980) and GAO (1980-1997) superiors succeeded in getting my many Jewish superiors and supervisors to take against me. Those adverse actions include forcing me to resign in 1969, disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowing my education expenses in 1978, forcing me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, never promoting me beyond GS-13, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I would also focus on Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on me.)

Because Medicare now costs me $3,266/year, all my Social Security goes to pay Medicare and I had to pay Medicare $321 more for 2024.)

SLASH GEAR
— Ford 10-Speed Transmission: The Most Common Problems – PRARTHANA GOPAL (COMMENT: I am one of the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against Ford over this transmission. I represent Mustang owners in Illinois. SEE: https://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2023cv04130/435016 The lawsuit has since been transferred to Massachusetts.)
https://www.slashgear.com/1490143/ford-10-speed-transmission-common-problems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2017, Ford debuted the 10R80 transmission, which it had developed in collaboration with General Motors. The new transmission was first introduced in Ford F-150 trucks, but it soon became a mainstay in other models like the Mustang, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Ranger, among others. The 10R80 was designed to provide more power and fuel efficiency, allowing drivers to experience a more responsive and nimble handling experience. That said, problems soon began to surface with the 10-speed automatic transmission. Owners of Ford passenger vehicles experienced various issues, ranging from jerky driving to delayed gear shifting and more. Over time, consistent problems with the transmission system led to multiple consumer complaints and even lawsuits against Ford. Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission has made an appearance in several Ford vehicles over the years, but it has also become the subject of multiple lawsuits. Plaintiffs have repeatedly alleged that the 10R80 transmission is defective. Some have also claimed that the auto manufacturer has known about this problem since 2018. A lawsuit, filed with the Massachusetts State Court on April 18, 2023, stated: “A common design and/or manufacturing defect in Ford’s 10R80 transmissions is a potentially life-threatening safety issue, and Ford has refused to recall or replace the defective Transmissions.” . . . Ford, on the other hand, refuted several of these allegations, asserting that the plaintiffs didn’t seek prompt servicing for their vehicles. Ford also pointed out that the complainants continued to use their cars despite these issues surfacing — a fact that could negate the severity of the claims. . .One of the most common issues that people have experienced with Ford vehicles that used the 10R80 transmission was the “sluggish” pace of gear changes. Some drivers also allegedly experienced violent and sudden shifts from one gear to the other.)
