— ‘Vote in the streets?’ Vietnam War protesters reassess strategy more than 50 years later. – Karissa Waddick and Savannah Kuchar (COMMENT: What impact did Vietnam War protestors have on you? They discouraged me from enlisting. They encouraged me to get student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my peers who enlisted or who did not get draft deferments. I paid a very big price because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. Many, most, virtually all, and at times all of my Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors and/or supervisors were veterans who blamed those like me, and therefore me, for America losing the Vietnam war. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they took against me because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments. They ever-increasingly stressed that I was able to do the following only because I did not enlist and because I got draft deferments: a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, d) earn a professional license in 1981, e) buy a new town home in 1972, condos in 1974 and 1976, and a home in 1978, f) have a home built in 1984, g) get married in 1978, h) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc., i) etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blagojevich — backed by his influential father-in-law, 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell — later ran for governor as a reformer, looking to succeed Republican Gov. George Ryan, who went to federal prison for corruption. In that case, underlings from Ryan’s tenure as secretary of state were found to have sold driver’s licenses for bribes, with some of that money being funneled into Ryan’s campaign fund. The fund became the first in American history to be indicted for racketeering.)

— Is Illinois a swing state this year? When it comes to presidential elections, Illinois has voted Democratic in the eight elections since 1988. However, in 1988 and the five presidential elections prior, Illinois voted Republican. (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government and they discriminate against their employees who are Republican. Starting in 1992 with Clinton’s election, because I was one of their extremely few employees who were Republican, my Democrat Chicago GAO superiors took even more adverse actions against me. Of course, they did not promote me. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my earning job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) my earning job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) my earning a job-related professional license in 1981. They ever-increasingly treated me like I had not done any of the aforesaid. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

NAPOLITAN INSTITUTE
— The majority of respondents in a poll published Friday said they believe a large amount of people who are in the country illegally will actually vote in November’s general election. The poll, conducted by the Napolitan News Service, found that 54% of respondents said they believe illegal immigrants will vote in November, and 75% of respondents said they do not support allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections. An even larger percentage of the survey takers (87%) support requiring voter ID in order to vote in federal elections, according to the poll.

https://www.cities929.com/2024/08/21/video-democrats-call-trump-racist-black-republican-says-thats-not-true/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members. “They may say ‘well, he’s racist,’ and I say ‘just prove it’ and then they can’t prove this,” Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. “So then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, ‘well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?’ And they can’t say anything. And so I say, ‘so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.’” Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump’s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson. “The Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,” Walls said. “Everything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.”)

DAILY HERALD
— The way out of the circus on display in Chicago – Kathy Salvi
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240820/columns/the-way-out-of-the-circus-on-display-in-chicago/
(FROM THE LETTER: Well, here we go: the circus is in town. No, I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers or Barnum and Bailey — at least they’re entertaining — but rather the Democratic National Convention. This week we will be force fed speeches from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and endure the woke primping and preening spewed from the Democrat mouthpieces on stage. Chicago is a fitting city for the Democrats to hold their convention: it is a great city in slow decay due to backward leftist and authoritarian policies. Crime is rampant in Chicago and has only gotten worse since Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the pro-criminal SAFE-T Act. Cost of living is sky high because Illinois is among the most-taxed states in the nation. All of these problems are due to blue rule, and they will be on full display for everyone visiting Chicago for the circus. The Democrats have had a tough act to follow this year. The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a sight to see and an emotional event in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. It was a display of unity that has been downplayed by the media across the country, and Republicans are united behind our ticket up and down the ballot. And I should mention — our top of the ticket candidate was actually voted for by the members of our party. We call that “democracy.” Conversely, the Democrats’ convention will be one filled with what we’ve come to expect from Democrats here in Illinois: false promises, gaslighting and manufactured hype behind a candidate who won’t do interviews. We’re seeing the Democrat propaganda machine whirring in full force propping up Kamala Harris after she unceremoniously ousted her boss from his candidacy without a single vote from the people. Anywhere else, that’s called a coup. Kamala Harris has yet to give an interview since being installed without a single Democrat vote. She chose a radical leftist VP who misrepresented his record. Stolen valor. Ask his own chaplain. The only candidate worse than Walz — and even Harris rejected the idea — would have been Illinois’ own failed governor, J.B. Pritzker. Sadly, we have not heard about any of the real issues and how Democrats will attempt to fix them. They have not talked about fixing the open southern border that has festered under Kamala Harris’ watch. The Democrats won’t touch the high cost of living imposed on people in Chicago, Illinois and throughout the country. They won’t give any concrete or real solution to the crime plaguing communities across the country or the corruption within their own Democratic Party from the United States Senate to Dolton, Illinois. Truth be told, there is a silver lining to the Democratic National Convention being in town here. Voters are seeing that there is no real plan coming from the Democrats. There are no real policies they’re running on. Americans are choking on their progressive nightmare, and the Democrats keep doubling down. Make no mistake, we here in Illinois are hurting. Workers are hurting. Families are hurting. Children are hurting, small businesses are hurting. No matter your political persuasion. We are one big hurt under the supermajority, Democrat domination in Illinois. And what has it delivered? A flight from Illinois, an unbearable tax burden on ordinary people, an unsustainable pension crisis, crime-ridden neighborhoods, unaffordable food & gas prices. All of this brought to us by the Illinois Democratic Party. Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the two U.S. Senate seats, 14 out of 17 congressional seats and a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate as well as the mayor’s office here in Chicago. Their only use for the Republican Party is to ridicule its sound policies and trigger hatred in those from whom they seek money to pursue even more power. We Republicans are scrappy and will fight, fight, fight our battle at the ballot box. In an analysis of those cities in Illinois run by Republican mayors here in Illinois, the air is fresher and the people happier. As I pen this commentary, most families, workers and small businesses in Illinois are awakening to host of problems brought on by the mistakes of our political leaders, mistakes that have increased our tax burden, dumbed down our public educational institutions and made our streets unsafe in which to travel. During the rest of the Democratic National Convention, open your ears to the truth and ask yourself: does the carnivalesque display I am watching reflect the America that I know and love? Illinois, there is a way out of this nightmare: wake up — Vote Republican.)

I would focus on those who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me because we did not have children. They knew full-well that both of us had serious fertility problems. They stressed that our health insurance covered IVF. I would focus on my GAO superiors who adopted, whose spouse had little or no income, who complained about the tremendous amount of time and money it costs to raise children.

— Republicans to rally support for Harris at the DNC – Sarah McCammon
https://www.nprillinois.org/2024-08-19/republicans-to-rally-support-for-harris-at-the-dnc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June, several weeks before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the campaign hired former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s former chief of staff in June to focus on Republican outreach. . .Last week, a “Republicans for Harris” affinity group gathered online to hear from several high-profile Republicans including Kinzinger, former Rep. Denver Riggleman, former Republican White House officials and others. Additional Republican leaders are expected to speak at the Democratic convention in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the plans. Kinzinger is among them, according to a report by CNN.)

The civilian equivalent of Walz’s military rank of E-8 is GS-7 (currently $54,728/year). I was a) a GS-7 in 1971 when I was 22 years old, b) GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, c) GS-11 ($80,094) in 1973, d) GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974, and e) GS-13 ($115,439-$150,075) 1986-1997.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/18/fact-check-sen-tammy-duckworth-falsely-claims-tim-walz-is-a-retired-command-sergeant-major/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Tim Walz received his notification of eligibility for retirement on August 3, 2002. He was promoted to sergeant major (E-9) on September 17, 2004, and immediately began serving as the command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery while his packet was submitted to the National Guard Bureau to appoint him to command sergeant major (E-9). Once approved by NGB, he was laterally appointed to command sergeant major (E-9) on April 1, 2005. He retired from the Minnesota National Guard on May 16, 2005. Our records do not indicate when he made his request to retire. Leadership reviews and approves all requests to retire. He was administratively reduced to master sergeant (E-8) on May 15, 2005, because he did not complete all required U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy coursework.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/marclittle/2024/08/19/the-gops-black-wall-n2643561
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blacks, who comprise 18.2% of the federal bureaucracy run by Democrats, are not known for voting against the bureaucracy that feeds them. The fight to garner greater Black support cannot be left to influencers and rappers. An army of Black messengers must take the fight to the streets. Black voters are likely to elect the next president of the United States, so there must be a specific strategy and plan to get their votes. I fear no one has told Trump.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/18/dnc-little-palestine-chicago-protest/74805536007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The decision to host the DNC in Chicago was made before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel killed 1,200 and sparked the brutal military campaign in Gaza. Since then, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died − and Chicago was transformed into a hotbed of anti-war activity ahead of Biden and Harris’ arrival. The region’s anti-war activism, which has included parades of pro-Palestinian truckers in the suburbs and encampments at the city’s top universities, has been led predominantly by local Palestinian Americans. In addition to calling for a ceasefire, many Chicago Palestinians are also motivated by a fear that Democrats’ lackluster opposition to the Gaza war has encouraged the kind of anti-Muslim vitriol that sparked crimes like the murder of 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume in an alleged hate crime in neighboring Will County.)

In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

— How Biden Raised the Profile of the Free College Movement. – Katherine Knott (COMMEMT: Unlike me, my critics/opponents did not have to work their way through college. Many of them have degrees from Ivy League universities. My having to work my way through college harmed my GPA big time. I spent far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying while I was in high school 1964-1966. Consequently I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class and my ACT score was only 24. I spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying while I took classes at UIC 1966-1969 and NIU in 1969. Nevertheless, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240816/nation-and-world-politics/meet-the-suburban-delegates-to-the-democratic-national-convention/
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrats say the “Republican Party has found itself riven by the influence of its most extreme elements.” But not in Illinois. Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party and many other Republican Organizations in Illinois have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives, that is, by anti-platform Republicans, that is, by anti-Republicans. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. That is why Republican candidates lose elections in Illinois.

It is a dangerous dynamic that threatens the future of our country, and it’s been exposed during our current president’s lamest of lame-duck final months in office. President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the commander in chief to vacation, snooze, and eat ice cream.)

The aforesaid has ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, my professional license, etc.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/failure-femmes-deis-tragic-destruction-of-law-enforcement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too: Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process. This is reflected in the recent story about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission Wednesday, at a North Carolina Donald Trump campaign event, to nurse her baby (tweet below). The woman, who works out of the Atlanta Field Office, wasn’t supposed to bring a child to a protective assignment in the first place. Apparently, though, the SS failures in Butler, Pennsylvania, that enabled the Trump assassination attempt didn’t make an impression on her.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2024/08/17/illinois-democrats-incumbent-republicans-6-state-house-races-house-speaker-chris-welch-rich-miller
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 47th House District: Rep. Amy Grant, R-Wheaton, vs. Jackie Williamson. President Joe Biden won this district by 12 percentage points four years ago. Every statewide Democratic candidate won the district two years ago, and Gov. JB Pritzker won it by 8 points. Grant’s campaign had just $13,542 in the bank at the end of June. She’s since reported raising a mere $10,000. Keep in mind that the House Democrats have a vast and ever-growing fundraising advantage over the House Republicans. So the money that these Republican incumbents have raised so far is much more important to understanding their predicaments. Grant is a strong abortion rights opponent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a news conference Friday, Illinois Republican state senators blasted the majority party’s policies. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, noted that Illinois is ranked as the least tax friendly state in the country. “As family budgets are stretched to their breaking point, forcing families to make really tough decisions, Illinois Democrats used their tax hikes to deliver the most expensive budget in state history,” said Rezin. Rezin added that at a time when Illinois families struggle to make ends meet, Illinois Democrats responded with $1 billion in new taxes. The largest tax hike in the budget approved earlier this year is the extension of the state’s cap on net operating losses, which will raise corporate income taxes for companies recently losing money by $526 million in the next fiscal year. State Sen. Don DeWitte, R-St. Charles, brought up the fact that Democrats refused to renew the Invest in Kids school choice tax credit scholarship program.)

— How would your career have been impacted if you had been born years later than you were? I was born in 1948. If I had been born years later, because of ever-increasing Democrat and RINO Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of ever-increasingly patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I would not have been able to a) get hired by the Post Office when I was 18, IRS when I was 22, or GAO when I was 31, b) get promoted by IRS when I was 23, 24, and 25, or c) get promoted by GAO when I was 38. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45. My Democrat GAO superiors would have forced me to retire then instead of letting work until I was 49 when their early retirement offer expired. I would not have been eligible to take regular retirement until I was 55.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois GOP urges focus on policies, not personalities during party’s day at State Fair. – JEREMY GORNER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/15/illinois-gop-urges-focus-on-policies-not-personalities-during-partys-day-at-state-fair/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans used their day at the State Fair Thursday to blame Democrats for crime, inflation and tax increases while urging a focus on policies, not personality as they head into a November election with a ticket led by presidential nominee Donald Trump, who twice has been overwhelmingly rejected by the state’s voters. New Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi opened a morning meeting by declaring the party will be unified and “will win in November 2024,” while subtly acknowledging the uphill battle for a party that has lost traction with the state’s electorate. “We’re on a mission to elect Trump fans and everyone down ticket,” Salvi told an audience of about 80 people at a joint meeting of the state party’s State Central Committee and County Chair’s Association. “So we’ve got to figure out a way to bring people together. There’s no better way to do that than bridging these gaps.” With Republicans becoming the party of Trump, winning back suburban areas that once consistently carried GOP candidates to victory will be a daunting task. The former president suffered 17-percentage point losses in Illinois during the 2016 and 2020 elections, pushing the state GOP into further irrelevance. Democrats, who hold their national convention in Chicago next week, control all three branches of state government, 14 of the state’s 17 congressional seats and both U.S. Senate seats. Republicans at the fair downplayed Trump’s influence on down-ballot races in recent years, blaming the Democrats for drawing gerrymandered maps in their favor that were then signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker. Republicans also blamed Pritzker for pushing through hundreds of millions of dollars in tax increases in the current state budget and continuing to provide state funding for the influx of migrants coming into the Chicago area from the southern U.S. border. “So, taxes, cost of living, crime, corruption. The most corrupt state in the nation,” Illinois Senate Republican leader John Curran of Downers Grove said in an interview before the GOP’s afternoon programming at the state fairgrounds. “This is what Gov. Pritzker’s Democratic allies have brought to Illinois.” After a slight rain delay, a couple of hundred people gathered for a GOP rally on the director’s lawn of the fairgrounds, where Salvi basted Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as a “trainwreck.” “Think about that convention. They’re about to nominate somebody who didn’t get one single vote,” Salvi said, referring to how Harris was handed the nomination after President Joe Biden quit the race. “What about democracy? You know, in a lot of countries, that would be called a coup! But do you hear anything about that? Nothing. Nada. Crickets. Well, that’s something that we could communicate.” Illinois House Republican leader Tony McCombie of Savanna told the crowd the Democratic Party “wants to destroy small business, hurt our most vulnerable and make families feel that they need to be reliant on government for everything.” “Democrats have been working for years to try to convince the people of Illinois and our nation that the Republican Party does not believe in democracy. But yet, Democrats want noncitizens and felons, I’m sorry, I mean justice-impacted individuals to vote,” McCombie said. Her quip alluded to a new state law championed by progressive Democrats that changes terminology for people convicted of felonies if they’re part of a special diversion program. McCombie did not mention that Trump was convicted of felonies earlier this year in his hush money trial in New York, though his sentencing was postponed after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled former presidents have broad immunity for “official” acts. The former president has two other cases pending, both involving charges that he plotted to steal the 2020 election win from Biden. McCombie said the November election wasn’t just about a presidential race but also about the governor’s race in 2026. While a few Republicans have expressed interest in possibly running, Pritzker has not said whether he will seek a third term. “Our turnout in this race will be instrumental in determining the future leadership for Illinois,” McCombie said. “This election cycle is about us. It’s about us showing up.” Illinois Republicans’ once winning statewide platform of moderation on social issues and fiscal conservatism has gradually been scuttled by a growing embrace of social conservatism, including opposition to gay rights and abortion. After the Thursday morning meeting, Myles Nelson, a GOP committeeman from the Metro East area of Illinois outside St. Louis, said for the state party to make inroads in blue Illinois, it has to convince voters to focus on policies instead of personalities. “We have to focus on the issues that bring those moderates and independents in the suburbs back to us, crime, corruption, costs of living. Go to the grocery store. Go to the gas pump. Everyone is feeling it,” said Nelson, a Trump delegate at last month’s GOP convention in Milwaukee. “And what the people of northern Illinois have to know is that Donald Trump’s policies were right.” Niki Conforti, a Republican who is challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Sean Casten for his congressional seat in the Chicago suburbs, agreed that focusing on the issues is what should help the GOP regain the support it has lost over the years in the suburbs. “The crime, the cost of living, inflation, those are the issues that people are worried about today and it’s going to drive our people to the polls,” Conforti said. “We didn’t lose it overnight and we’re not going to win it back overnight. But we can make strides with each election cycle and take it back.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from voters who are the following, candidates in Illinois promise to use government to give them even more preference: those who have less money than others and/or are minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. Ever-increasingly, they promise to give those voters a) more DEI, that is, more patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination and/or b) more government assistance, LGBTQ, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and/or further diminishment of Second Amendment rights. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat Lite if not anti-Trump if not anti-conservative and fail/refuse to promote the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and 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. Of course, Democrat candidates in Illinois are overjoyed about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

GAO, I would have provided a jury with many examples of how my Democrat GAO superiors harmed me because I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://cookcountyrecord.com/stories/662728812-judge-evanston-teacher-hasn-t-shown-she-was-harmed-by-d65-s-anti-racism-policies-programs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal judge has tossed, for now, a lawsuit accusing an Evanston school district of illegally promoting racial division and discrimination within their schools through “anti-racism” policies and curriculum, as the judge said the white middle school teacher who brought the action has yet to show that she has been personally harmed by the district’s actions. On Aug. 9, U.S. District Judge John Tharp Jr. dismissed the legal action brought by plaintiff Stacy Deemar against Evanston/Skokie District 65. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning the judge is giving Deemar an opportunity to revise her lawsuit and perhaps address the shortcomings identified by the judge in her legal pleadings. The dismissal order comes after nearly three years of proceedings in federal court in the action.)
