https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/darren-bailey-illinois-congressional-campaign-southern-border
— Chicago considers raising retirement age for police and firefighters (COMMENT: The retirement age for federal employees who have not made Senior Executive Service ($191,900/year) and who are Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time is when they become eligible to retire. Extremely few federal employees make it into the Senior Executive Service. I became eligible for early retirement in 1993 when I was 45. My Democrat GAO superiors succeed in forcing me to take their expiring early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. If I had not taken it, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003 when I would have been 55. They made it all too clear that if I did not take their retirement “offer,” they would make those 6 years a living hell for me. SEE: Diersen v. GAO at: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

NBC5
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly glorify and praise Mayorkas. Mayorkasis is an operative for Biden. Biden is an operative for Obama. Mayorkas has had great success in flooding America with illegals who will use their false identifications to vote in the November 5, 2024 election a) to reelect Biden, b) to keep the Senate Democrat, c) to turn the House Democrat, d) to turn red states blue, and e) to turn blue states bluer. RINO leaders have no problem with the aforesaid because RINOs want cheap labor.

They ever-increasingly lowered standards to hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats DEI hires who had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) no professional license. Virtually all of them were females and/or minorities. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

Maybe it’s time to carefully consider innovative solutions, such as bringing violence-intervention workers inside schools. – Editorial (COMMENT: While you were in high school, what did you do after-school? To earn money to buy a new car that I would use to commute to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC, I washed dishes for the minimum wage four evenings a week and Saturdays in the basement of the SS Kresge’s in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and 40 hours a week during the summer of 1965 in between.)

— 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.)

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.)

— The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They ever-increasingly lowered standards to hire, retain, and promote more Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats DEI hires who had a) less work experience than I had, b) less education than I had, c) no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) no professional license. Virtually all of them were females and/or minorities. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS
— December 31, 2023 Newsletter: The Sanctuary Problem
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/blog
(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: Here are some important questions to ask your uncurious elected officials: 1. How many “newcomers” have entered your schools in the last two years and how does that compare to the previous five years? 2. It is against the law for landlords to ask about immigration status. Do you have any way of tracking how many illegals are renting in the community or being otherwise housed by non-profits? 3. How many illegals are using local food pantries, and are they having supply issues? 4. What hard benefits are illegals receiving? Debit cards, transport, housing support? 5. What is the usage and cost of services at medical facilities by illegals, and are the organizations getting paid for the services, or is it documented as charity care? 6. Is there a separate tracking system the public can see that shows incidents of any crimes committed by illegals, and if not, why not? 7. What are our community’s specific responses to the migrant issue? 8. For state officials – How much is this costing? Who is getting the contracts for all the support? Is there a daily tracker on the costs and numbers of illegals?)

— Champaign County sheriff expects little change in light of new gun regulation – SAMUEL LISEC
https://www.news-gazette.com/news/champaign-county-sheriff-expects-little-change-in-light-of-new-gun-regulation/article_2077db33-1e74-5b1c-86e1-1717a6a3db4d.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the law also allowed existing owners of assault-style firearms one year to register their guns with state police, with the aim of “ensuring that law enforcement knows the location of these weapons of war and who to hold accountable if they fall into the wrong hands,” a news release from the governor’s office said. Heuerman said he does not believe the Champaign County Sheriff’s office will play a large role in the rollout of the new requirement because it is unlikely that deputies will regularly encounter people whose sole crime they are committing is failing to register their regulated firearms. The statute does not require deputies go door to door to check if people have assault-style weapons guns in their home, the sheriff said. When deputies do come into contact with individuals who are possessing a gun unlawfully, it is typically because that person is using it recklessly or threateningly. In the latter instance, HB 5471 could serve as another means of prosecution for the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s office, he said. In a scenario in which a deputy encounters a person who has neglected to register their firearm, and they are not possessing or wielding it in any other unlawful way, Heuerman said he does not see a criminal arrest likely taking place in those circumstances, but rather a conversation taking place in which that person is reminded they are registered to their firearm with ISP. But if deputies were to make contact with that person who has failed to register their assault-style firearm in subsequent encounters, then the sheriff’s office could escalate their involvement in making an arrest and report for the State’s Attorney’s office to follow up on. “I don’t want to suggest people don’t do it, that’s not what I’m saying. The law is the law,” Heuerman said. “But I just don’t think the frequency is going to be there where we’re running into people violating the statute intentionally without maliciously using that weapon in some way.”)

https://www.shawlocal.com/my-suburban-life/2023/12/30/dupage-county-working-to-ensure-asylum-seekers-are-transported-to-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is working closely with local and regional partners to ensure asylum seekers who have been arriving on out-of-state buses are transported to the city of Chicago. “Our primary goal is to help these new arrivals get to their destination in the city as safely, and with as few delays, as possible. We are grateful for the collaboration with state, regional, and local officials, who have been enormously helpful in ensuring the safety and security of those arriving in DuPage County, as well as our residents,” County Board Chair Deborah Conroy said. Since Dec. 14, 49 buses have arrived at train stations in DuPage County containing 2,081 passengers, according to DuPage OHSEM. They boarded trains to Chicago, where city teams guided them to Chicago’s landing zone, which is the only designated location in the state of Illinois for asylum seekers. Residents who would like to assist asylum seekers by donating food, clothing or small household items or to learn more about the requirements for sheltering, please visit www.Chicago.gov/support .)

Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk those who own the banned guns, who do not register, who promote Second Amendment rights, who voted for Trump, and who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_cc6518ee-a5a4-11ee-9793-67dcc62eb4c7.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is no protections for the registrants having the information used against them, so the Supreme Court declared that unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment,” Maag said. In Maag’s case last week, McGlynn ordered a status hearing to be held Jan. 4. The state is looking to delay that into the second week of January. That’s after the Jan. 1 registration deadline. Of the 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders in Illinois, about 15,100, or 0.63%, of FOID card holders have registered as of this week’s update from ISP. That’s nearly double the number of individuals registering than reported the week before. John Boch of Guns Save Life said the compliance rate heading into the final days is dismal. “There are millions of gun owners in Illinois who haven’t registered a thing, 99.4% noncompliance rate,” Boch told The Center Square. “That’s pretty astounding.” Boch said residents have options like destroying or turning over the now banned items to law enforcement. “Other options include rehoming your firearm outside of Illinois,” Boch said. “That’s an option a lot of people including myself have chosen to get the gun out of Illinois and out of reach of the governor.” The Illinois State Rifle Association said it cannot provide legal advice, but that another option is to keep the firearm and do not register. “This option is also based on the assumption that [the U.S. Supreme Court] will strike down the law. As a consequence of this option, firearm owners could face prosecution and imprisonment,” ISRA said in a statement. “As an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you.” Those found with banned items that are not registered with Illinois State Police could face a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense and a Class 3 felony for second and subsequent offenses. Rules for the gun ban registry are not finalized. Emergency rules in place since mid-September have not been officially updated by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. They meet again Jan. 16 in Springfield, where the bipartisan legislative body could accept gun ban registry rules on second notice.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/bidens-ministry-of-diversity-comes-for-the-internet
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new rules would empower the commission to prosecute internet service providers for alleged discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and other protected classes, as well as income. The rules empower the FCC to “crack down on digital inequities,” as The Associated Press put it. By which the commission might mean, for example, punishing companies for building infrastructure in neighborhoods where the agency expects people actually will buy it. The newly Democrat-dominated FCC allegedly imposed the new rules to “eliminate discrimination” in access to internet services. By which the commission means the uneven rollout of 5G service, itself stymied by regulatory red tape.)

They forced him to retire in 1987, they threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, they gave me a bad job assignment in early 1989, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal for that assignment, and they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in late 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

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

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

Democrats and RINOs are nasty/vicious. Since 1953, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have a) stressed that virtually all my teachers and classmates at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, and Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966 were German American Protestants and b) used that to paint me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— More migrants arrive in Chicago as suburbs implement bus drop-off restrictions – Kasey Chronis
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-suburbs-migrant-bus-dropoffs-restrictions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA8-b-yOhCE
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now the list of suburbs that have already approved or are exploring measures to prevent migrants from being dropped off is growing longer. “The City of Chicago is ill-equipped to take care of them, there’s no way we should be expecting small suburban communities to be able to do this,” said New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann. Baldermann says they’ve had police stationed at two Metra stations and have yet to receive any migrant buses; however, they did locate one migrant who was lost and walking along the highway. “We did have one migrant the other day who was walking down Route 30, we were able to, with our fire department and police department, communicate with this migrant who had said they’d been walking for a day and a half. They were told they were in Chicago and of course they weren’t,” said Baldermann. “Our fire department checked them to make sure they were healthy, make sure there was no pending medical issue, and then we were able to put them on a train and send them to the City of Chicago.” Baldermann signed an executive order last week prohibiting unscheduled buses. It remains in effect until the Board of Trustees meets on Monday, Jan. 8 to review and vote on the proposed ordinance. Similarly, in Elburn, the village board approved an ordinance to restrict “unscheduled intercity buses” on Wednesday evening.)

In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That ended my plans for a career in the automotive industry. Because my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I accepted that offer, I accepted a job offer from IRS. My father had died and I needed a job to help support my mother and brother.)

DAILY HERALD
— Candidates should be required to provide email addresses – Editorial (COMMENT: I should write a book about Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who did not what to answer any questions from me in my roles as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. I would focus on those candidates who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its individual 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. I would focus on those candidates who blame me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/20231227/editorials/daily-herald-opinion-candidates-should-be-required-to-provide-email-addresses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, some people running for public office believe they don’t need to speak to the traditional media and refuse to answer questions from newspaper editors. That’s unfortunate, because we want to provide as much information about the candidates as possible so our readers can make educated decisions in the voting booth. The questionnaires we prepare for elections allow candidates to communicate their views directly to the public. The answers they provide are often published unedited on our website for anyone to see. . .One bright spot came from DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek, who has long worked to improve how her office runs elections. When asked, the DuPage clerk’s office immediately sent us the email addresses for all 30 candidates who had filed for countywide, county board and forest preserve board seats. So, we thank Kaczmarek and her staff for collecting the information in the first place — and providing it without forcing us to jump through hoops to get it. . .Candidates willing to answer questions from the press allow us to educate the voters about them — something we all want.)

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

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

https://capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/illinois-supreme-court-foid-records-exempt-from-public-disclosure

According to briefs filed with the court, state lawmakers passed that amendment after the Associated Press filed a blanket FOIA request seeking the names of all FOID cardholders in the state, along with the expiration dates of their cards.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/12/27/lgbtq-population-by-state/71891834007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New data estimates the greatest number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender U.S. adults live in the South, confirming findings from recent years. Across the country, researchers estimate more than 5% of U.S. adults are LGBTQ+, matching prior LGBTQ+ population data. Young people ages 18-24 are much more likely to identify as LGBTQ+, according to the report from the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles. The report, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, found that in 2020 and 2021, there were nearly 14 million LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S. − with some states having noticeably higher percentages of gay and queer residents than others. Earlier this year, a poll from Gallup found a slightly higher percentage of U.S. adults are LGBTQ+. Overall, multiple polls show that the adult LGBTQ population has been steadily increasing for years. “Look at the numbers, more people are coming out younger and people are coming out in places where LGBTQ folks have been less out and visible,” Cathy Renna, a spokesperson for the National LGBTQ Task Force, told USA TODAY. Broken down by state, the report shows Washington, D.C., Oregon and Delaware top the list for greatest percentage of gay and queer residents. The census, the nation’s most well-known population survey, does not gather data on Americans’ sexuality or gender identity. In 2021, other, smaller surveys from the bureau began asking those questions of respondents for the first time. How many people in the US are LGBTQ?
Researchers at the Williams Institute, a leading national LGBTQ+ population data research group, estimate more than 13.9 million LGBTQ+ adults live in the U.S., representing 5.5% of the population. Every year, Gallup also releases results of a poll estimating how many Americans are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Gallup’s last report, which polled a nationally representative group of 10,000 respondents, found 7.2% identified as LGBTQ+. The number was highest among adult Gen Zers, or people born between 1997 and 2012, according to Pew Research Center. South continues to have highest percentage of LGBTQ+ people
The new data shows nearly 36% of the nation’s adult LGBTQ+ population lives in the South, representing more than 5 million people. The number is also an increase from the last data released by the Williams Institute in 2014, showing 35% of the nation’s LGBTQ+ population lived in the South. Researchers defined the South as states spanning from Texas and Oklahoma, to Florida and north through Delaware. Kentucky, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., are included in the grouping. In recent years, Southern Republican-led states passed more laws restricting transgender health care, access to school sports and instruction on LGBTQ+ history than any other part of the country. For that reason, the South is at the forefront of the national fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality, Renna said. “Despite the backlash and despite challenges we’re facing, we’re resilient and we’re not going anywhere,” Renna said. Speaking from New Orleans, which the National LGBTQ Task Force selected for its next annual conference, Renna said the South is where there’s the most at stake for people’s lives because it’s home to the most people living under the most oppressive laws. “This is where a lot of the work really needs to happen,” she said, adding that her organization chose to host its conference in Louisiana because “there are so many LGBTQ people here that are underrepresented in media, culture and frankly in the movement.” Researchers found that 5.7% of Louisiana’s adult population is LGBTQ+, ranking slightly higher than states like New York, California and Illinois. In 2021, another LGBTQ+ advocacy group, GLAAD, analyzed Southern media coverage of LGBTQ+ communities and found that dozens of outlets published few or zero substantive stories on LGBTQ+ issues, including HIV/AIDS, during the 18-month period ending in December 2020. Gen Z most likely to be LGBTQ+
Generation Z, the youngest American generation to include adults, has a much higher percentage of LGBTQ+ members than older generations. Researchers found that in 2020 and 2021, 15.2% of Gen Z identified as LGBTQ+, representing more than 4.6 million people. Earlier this year, Gallup found 19.7% of Gen Z − or nearly 1 in 5 − said they were LGBTQ+ in 2022. “It’s certainly not uncommon for younger people to say they’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or however else they would identify themselves,” said Jeff Jones, a researcher at Gallup who has been tracking LGBTQ+ population data since 2012. With each passing year, as more Gen Zers enter adulthood, the cohort’s LGBTQ+ members also push the entire adult national total higher, Jones said. “As more come into adulthood, replacing the older people, the overall number should go up,” he said. Bisexuals make up majority of LGBTQ+ population. Researchers have long found that bisexual people − people who are attracted to more than one gender − make up more than half of America’s LGBTQ+ population. Researchers at the Williams Institute did not break down data based on sexuality, instead focusing on state-by-state LGBTQ+ populations. The most recent data from Gallup found more than 58% of all adult LGBTQ+ people in the U.S. are bisexual. Researchers in 2019 found that compared with gays and lesbians, bisexuals are far less likely to be out about their sexuality with people they’re close to. Some public health professors who study sexuality say biphobia could be playing a role. What states have the most LGBTQ+ people? This month’s new data from the Williams Institute is the latest batch from the group to rank the states that have the greatest percentage of LGBTQ+ residents. As in recent years, Washington, D.C., takes the top spot, with 14.3% of adults identifying with the acronym. Here are the other top states, and the percentage of adult residents who said they’re LGBTQ+: Washington, D.C. − 14.3%, Oregon − 7.8%, Delaware − 7.5%, Vermont − 7.4%, New Hampshire − 7.2%, Washington − 6.9%, Colorado − 6.8%, Maine − 6.8%, Nevada − 6.6%, Massachusetts − 6.5%)

— Texas Republican Chip Roy Blames Trump For Border ‘Mess’ – Matthew Impelli
https://www.newsweek.com/republican-blame-trump-border-chip-roy-1854243
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy recently placed some blame on former President Donald Trump for the current “mess” at the U.S.-Mexico border. During an interview broadcast by CNN on Tuesday, Roy spoke about Trump refusing to attend the string of Republican primary debates and praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his leadership in the state. “President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border,” Roy told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “If he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018 and 2019, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.” Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that there have been more than 2.4 million migrant encounters at southern borders across the U.S. so far in 2023. This number is an increase from the previous two fiscal years, which recorded 2.3 million in 2022 and 1.7 million in 2021. Migrant encounters are defined by the agency as the total number of people apprehended, deemed inadmissible and processed for deportation. Roy went on to speak about recent migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border and said “we should have stopped this years ago, President Trump could have done that if he led Congress to get something done. That didn’t happen.” The comments by Roy came just a few days after Trump criticized him on Truth Social, asking if any other Republicans have planned to run against the congressman. “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO (Republican in name only) Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!” Trump wrote. However, the filing deadline for the Texas primary election ended on December 11, meaning that no other Republicans can challenge Roy, as Trump suggested. Shortly after the former president’s comments, some other Republicans spoke out in support of Roy, such as DeSantis who said: “While @chiproytx is fighting to do what Donald Trump promised to do—secure our southern border—the former president is on social media demanding a primary challenge to one of the most conservative members of Congress (even though the Texas primary filing deadline was over a week ago.)” “I stand with Chip and am honored to have his support. The time for talking is over. We must stop the invasion, and I will get it done,” DeSantis added. Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also issued support for Roy saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.” This is not the first time Roy and Trump have criticized each other, as the Republican representative previously criticized the former president’s actions following the January 6 riots. “The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct: pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said. Trump then criticized Roy during his bid for Republican conference chair, saying that “he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district.” Roy’s office declined to make any further comments after Newsweek reached out. Newsweek also reached out to a Trump spokesperson via email for comment.)

That money also enabled me to pay for tuition and books at UIC 1966-1968 and to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968. My parents provided me with room and board 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 and the summer of 1969.)

https://capitolfax.com/2023/12/08/report-examines-illinois-women%e2%80%99s-political-power/
(FROM THE REPORT: Republican women lawmakers voiced how their party is falling behind…I find that in the Republican Party they are trying harder to get a mix because…we lost a lot of Republican women. They were turned off by our party so the idea is now to make a push for getting more women to run for office because of that and because we need to get to those people that are undecided or turned off by the party. So I feel that there’s a big push here now. But we are certainly more open and willing to bring in more women now because we need to bring back these women that were so turned off [by] our party.” – Evelyn Sanguinetti (R-IL) Former Lieutenant Governor. . .I know the House Republicans, [we] were always involved in looking for candidates and we love to have women. The problem is…a lot of times [women] don’t want to do it or they don’t pass the litmus tests that are now being imposed.” – Christine Radogno (R-IL) Former State Senate Minority Leader)

— The Decline of the Republican Party in Illinois: A Changing Political Landscape – Roy Wright
https://gillettnews.com/news/the-decline-of-the-republican-party-in-illinois-a-changing-political-landscape/300570/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois, a state known for its vibrant diversity and political battleground, has seen a significant shift in its political landscape in recent years. While it remains a politically diverse state, the dominance of the Democratic Party has become increasingly evident, as the Republican Party struggles to maintain a significant foothold. So, what is the current state of the Republican Party in Illinois? Recent data indicates that only about 26% of registered voters in Illinois identify as Republicans. This number has experienced a steady decline over the past few decades, as the Democratic Party has gained more support. The changing demographics of the state play a significant role in this shift. With urban areas like Chicago experiencing substantial population growth, these regions tend to lean heavily towards the Democratic Party. The Republican Party, on the other hand, has faced challenges in appealing to a diverse electorate and resolving internal divisions within the party. Being a Republican means aligning with the Republican Party, which advocates for limited government intervention, lower taxes, and conservative social policies. On the other hand, being a Democrat means identifying with the Democratic Party, which favors a more active government role in social and economic issues, higher taxes on the wealthy, and progressive social policies. The decline of the Republican Party in Illinois is not merely a reflection of the state’s political makeup but also a result of various factors. Changing demographics, internal party divisions, and difficulties in appealing to a diverse electorate have all contributed to the party’s struggles. In summary, the Republican Party represents only a small fraction of registered voters in Illinois, accounting for approximately 26%. With changing demographics and internal divisions, the Democratic Party has gained a significant advantage in terms of voter registration and political power. Illinois continues to be a politically diverse state, but the current landscape leans in favor of the Democratic Party.)
— Illinois: A Political Patchwork – Casey Martinez
https://gillettnews.com/news/illinois-a-political-patchwork/300396/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois, a state located in the heart of the Midwest, has long been associated with the Democratic Party. However, the reality of Illinois’ political landscape is far more complex than it may initially appear. With a diverse population and a rich political history, Illinois has proven time and time again that it cannot be easily labeled as a “blue state.” While the state has consistently supported Democratic presidential candidates in recent elections, there are significant pockets of Republican-leaning areas that challenge this assumption. The city of Chicago, a Democratic stronghold, has undeniably played a crucial role in shaping Illinois’ political dynamics. Its progressive policies and diverse population have contributed to Illinois’ reputation as a Democratic stronghold. However, it is essential to acknowledge that Chicago does not represent the entire state. Beyond the bustling city limits, Illinois reveals a political patchwork. In the rural areas of southern and central Illinois, conservative values hold sway, often aligning with the Republican Party. These regions, with their own unique histories and cultural nuances, challenge the notion of a uniformly blue Illinois. To be considered a “blue state,” Illinois must demonstrate consistent and overwhelming support for Democratic candidates across the state. While the state leans Democratic, its political diversity highlights the presence of Republican-leaning areas that cannot be ignored. In the end, Illinois is a political melting pot, defying simplistic labels. It is a state where a complex interplay of ideologies and values create a political patchwork that cannot be neatly categorized as strictly blue or red. To truly understand Illinois’ political landscape, one must embrace the intricacies and nuances that exist within the state’s diverse communities.)

— DeSantis: Trump is too old to be president – Casey Harper (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) demonized, denigrated, and condemned my federal career and b) stressed that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. In 1973 when I was 25 years old, my Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed me to be too old to ever be promoted to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. The Navy equivalent is Commander. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. Nevertheless, I did get promoted to GS-13 in 1986 when I was 32 after I had a) worked for GAO for almost 7 years, b) worked for IRS for almost 9 years, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. What do DeSantis supporters say about that? Unlike me, DeSantis became a veteran when he was 26. Like me, DeSantis did not earn a master’s degree until he was 27. DeSantis ended his Navy Reserve service in 2019 when he was 41 as a Lieutenant Commander. The GS equivalent is GS-12. I made GS-12 in 1974 when I was 25.)
