The state will raise the minimum wage from $13 to $14 per hour. (COMMENT: I worked for the minimum wage 1964-1966. It was $1.25/hour, and adjusted for inflation, it was $12.21/hour. I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 4 evenings a week and Saturdays while I was a Junior and Senior at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 (a poor man’s GTO), to use to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

Ever-increasingly, it glorifies and praises those who have demographics that vote for Democrats and demonizes, denigrates, and condemns those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

— Parents react upon ending of ‘Invest in Kids’ tax credit scholarship program (COMMENT: My father and his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had lots less money because they all sent their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. My father sent me to that school 1953-1961 and then my brother 1958-1961. He sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 and my brother 1961-1968 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college. My father almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, most often playing the piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs in Park Forest, and working in an A&W in Steger.)

— 34th Ward Alderman, Sen. Dick Durbin host event to help migrants obtain legal work permits – Julian Crews (COMMENT: What jobs do migrants have the necessary education and/or job skills for? For how much money will they work? Beyond overwhelmingly, unfilled jobs are bad jobs. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. Employers want cheap labor. Because migrants work for less money, they drive wages down. If there had been as many migrants when I was young as there are today, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not, the wages that I got would have been less. With the money that I earned washing dishes part-time, I was able to buy a new car in 1966 when I was 17 years old. With the money that I earned delivering mail part-time, I was able to pay for my colleges expenses 1966-1970 and buy new cars in 1967 and 1968.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One horrific example comes from Urbana, where just 3.5 percent of Black students are grade proficient in reading and 1.1 percent of Black students are proficient in mathematics. At the same time, 7.2 percent of Hispanic students are proficient in reading and 3.9 percent are proficient in mathematics. White and Asian students in Urbana scored at a higher level, but are nothing to brag about. Far more than half the students in both groups failed to show grade proficiency in both reading and math. Just 23.8 percent of White students and 26.5 percent of Asian students achieved at grade level in reading. In math, only 21.5 percent of White students and 31.6 percent of Asian students are grade proficient.)

Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— Calls for Joe Biden not to run raise an age-old question we all face eventually – Clarence Page (COMMENT: How old were you when you got your last promotion? For me, it was late 1986, when I was 38 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that I applied for that promotion to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, and they were more furious with the GAO manager who promoted me. He had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and he had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in early 1986. They were so furious that they forced him to retire in 1987. They threatened to punish me severely if I ever applied for a promotion again. That prompted me to become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in late 1988. Because of that, they threw me off audits of IRS and gave me a very bad job assignment, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal in 1989. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)

I would focus on my critics/opponents who subsequently had their operatives and their dupes a) end my membership on the ICRC Steering Committee in 2007, b) end my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, and c) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.

— Several Illinois schools listed in Wall Street Journal rankings of best Midwest colleges (COMMENT: From which college(s) did you earn your degree(s)? According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League colleges are worthless, that is, my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT are worthless. To provide just one example, a University of Chicago MBA holder who was my superior during my last 8 years at GAO and my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years specifically and overtly treated my master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT was worthless. She headed the office’s group that audited federal financial industry regulators. I volunteered to work for her in 1990 because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. While I had master’s degrees in business and accounting, I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, and I was a licensed CPA, she stressed that I had taken relatively few courses in finance. Because of that, I started taking graduate evening courses in finance at IIT in 1992, and after completing 16 courses, earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading IIT in 1997. Even though all the courses were directly job-related and I had gotten her appointed to serve on the program’s board of advisers, she treated those courses as being worthless. Further, in September of 1997, she took the lead in successfully forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. She would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. She would not have done aforesaid if I had not been the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Events celebrating Native American Heritage Month in the Chicago area (COMMENT: Because one of my coworkers was a Native American, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 treated him far better than they treated me even though he shared many of my bad demographics: male, non-veteran, conservative, Republican, CPA, in a traditional marriage, homeowner, non-poor, Protestant, DuPage County resident, and someone whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he was to the left of me, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had three, he had not taken, let alone passed, the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a licensed CPA or Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.)

— Gun Owners in Illinois Are Now Required to Register Assault Weapons. What Happens if They Don’t? – Amanda Vinicky (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrats will a) publish names and addresses of AR-15-style gun owners who have not registered and b) demand that States Attorneys arrest and charge those owners. What is your State’s Attorney’s position on this? In 1978, IRS officially stated that it audited my education deductions because of requests from readers of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me that painted my deductions as being improper.)
https://news.wttw.com/2023/11/07/gun-owners-illinois-are-now-required-register-assault-weapons-what-happens-if-they-don-t
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The law itself is specific about the penalties that could face gun owners who fail to file affidavits. Failure to file an endorsement affidavit is a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense. A second, or subsequent, violation of the registration requirement would be classified a Class 3 felony. As ISP puts it an FAQ web page, “persons who violate the endorsement affidavit requirements may be arrested and charged.” Note the “may.” In response to Halbrook’s question, ISP’s Suzanne Bond said that “it will be up to each individual state’s attorney in the 102 counties to decide how they will enforce that.” If a state’s attorney declines to prosecute, there may be no charges filed, no conviction, no penalty; if a state’s attorney decides to pursue charges, a gun owner could face prison time.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/opinion/columnists/united-states-right-social-change.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Across six battleground states, Trump leads President Biden 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters. In the crucial swing states that Biden won last time, Trump is ahead in five — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — while Biden leads only in Wisconsin. Biden is losing support from young voters, Hispanic voters, Black voters — constituencies Democrats have depended on for decades to overcome the longstanding Republican advantage among whites. Women voters favor Biden by eight percentage points, 50 percent to 42 percent, but men favor Trump by a far wider 18-point spread: 55 percent to 37 percent. (I guess that’s another definition for the term “manspreading.”) On the economy, voters prefer Trump over Biden by a 22-point margin. And a whopping 71 percent think Biden is too old to be president, as opposed to just 39 percent for Trump. – Gail Collins and Bret Stephens

— The CPA Exam: How to prepare for new 2024 requirements (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass it on their first attempt. I had been an IRS employee for almost 8 years. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I took the Becker CPA Review. My Democrat IRS superiors were furious because none of my coworkers who they had promoted over me had taken the examination, let alone passed it on their first attempt. All of those who they promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, veteran, and/or had less IRS work experience than I had. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

However, I saved far less for my retirement a) because my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me to resign in 1969, b) because my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, d) because they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14, e) because they always ranked me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) because they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

My Civil Service Retirement System pension would be much greater. I would not have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999.

— ‘DINK’—double income, no kids—couples say being child-free makes them richer and more successful, even if it means putting up with judgement – ELEANOR PRINGLE (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. My wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. My Democrat GAO superiors used that against me viciously. They strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that not only that we never wanted children and that we never tried to have children, but that I lied about trying to have children. They did that even though they had full access to my medical records and they knew all about my many insurance claims for fertility treatments including surgery at Central DuPage Hospital. To punish me because I had requested and gotten assignments to local audits while we were trying to have children, they threw me off audits of IRS in 1989 and assigned me to a 6-month out-of-state audit. All of them were married, had children, had spouses who had little or no income, had adopted, and/or complained about the high cost of raising children. All of them were beyond furious that my wife had a good job and that we went on vacations after her four business trips each year to luxury resorts across America.)

Because I am all of the aforesaid, and because I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and have lived in Wheaton since 1978, my Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in painting me as being antisemitic.

https://nypost.com/2023/11/04/opinion/mike-johnson-must-advocate-for-a-truly-color-blind-culture/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congratulations, Speaker Johnson. You were elected by your caucus to push through legislation that would benefit the American people and lift the American spirit. And you should make one of your immediate priorities the passage of a long overdue update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that enshrines colorblindness as a core American value. The problem here is simple: Race relations in the US have taken a turn for the worse. Back in 2013, 70% of Americans viewed race relations positively; today, that figure has dropped to a worrisome 42%. What happened? Have Americans truly gotten more racist Not really. The real cause of this shift in sentiment is the well-developed, educrat-enforced narrative known as critical race theory (CRT) which insists that America is an inherently racist society. Indeed, DEI, CRT and woke ideologies implant not merely awareness — but resentful awareness — against America and Americans. Point of fact: our federal government has been the leader in propagating these divisive narratives through its own hiring practices and messaging. At a time when we are living with serious challenges ranging from MS-13 gang-members to Hamas in Gaza, Joe Biden called “white supremacy” the biggest terrorist threat to our nation during a graduation speech at Howard University this past spring. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris explicitly argued for racial preferences through “equity” in every aspect of American life. Liberals would say that minority Americans have become “more aware” of systematic racism and its structures; in other words, “woke.” But awareness doesn’t necessarily result in a spate of anger and division. All signs instead point to a well-funded — and coordinated — effort to promote such division through social-justice groups such as Black Lives Matter, whose 2020 protests resulted in $1-2 billion in property damage claims. Helping #BLM along is the multi-billion DEI industry, which enriched itself from white guilt while producing little in the way of unity or even results. Congress has the power to at least put a damper to this madness via a much-needed update to one of the most important civil rights laws of our time. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly prevents the state from discriminating based on race. Read at face value, it appears to uphold a critical American principle – equal treatment for all, regardless of skin color. It is supposed to create a more unified society with greater trust and social cohesion. However, over the past 50 years, progressives have twisted the Act’s language to divisive and harmful ends. They’ve helped expand the number and scale of discrimination lawsuits, arguing that the mere existence of disparate outcomes means that discrimination must exist. This has created a bitter, litigious legal environment where everyone is able to accuse each other of racism simply for, say, not hiring enough minorities. Companies scramble to look non-racist by rushing to hire minorities — regardless of qualifications — for fear of lawsuits, harming meritocracy and stoking employee resentment. The purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should be to establish a more colorblind society where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. The Left has severely drifted from that purpose. They have opted to label color blindness as an evil, while guilt-tripping white Americans into viewing minorities as helpless victims. And this ultimately benefits no one. Worse yet, the Left regularly pushes non-discrimination to the opposite extreme – ignoring colorblindness for the sake of blatant reverse racism. For years, I fought against discrimination against Asian Americans at Harvard University – discrimination that occurred, in part, because Harvard wanted to admit members of other minority groups despite their lower grades and standardized testing scores. We took our case all the way to the Supreme Court where we prevailed early this year and ended race-based admissions at America’s elite higher learning institutions. But our work is far from done, and we still need stronger enforcement mechanisms from Congress to hold universities accountable to the Court’s decision. An update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would do just that by explicitly stating that it cannot guarantee equal outcomes. It would need to say that discrimination of all forms is wrong, even if the race being discriminated against is white or Asian. It would drop all racial quotas and preferences from government hiring and contracting, as these quotas only serve to feed the victimhood industry. Such an act would not ignore the reality of race. Speaker Johnson, you are the de facto adoptive father of an African-American child. You said that “it’s a reality” that your African-American child faces greater obstacles than your other children. This may be true. But you also rejected the idea that “institutional racism” is the sole cause here, citing his family upbringing, and you explicitly said that “socialism is a dead end” towards solving this and other social ills. Speaker Johnson, a National Colorblindness Amendment would reject racial socialism while encouraging Americans to look at your son and every human far beyond just his skin color. At the same time, your Congress can tackle many of the core issues holding minorities back, namely the decline of the traditional family structure and failure of our education system. Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker: America needs healing — and a National Colorblindness Amendment can help that healing begin. )

What do you say to conservatives who view you as far more powerful than the Democrat Party and think of you as the real opposition party?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After Pritzker signed the ban into law, many promised to not comply including his former gubernatorial challenger turned Illinois Congressional District 12 candidate Darren Bailey. Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Thursday that hundreds of thousands will not abide by the registry order. “It’s up to the governor and the legislature to truly decide if they are prepared to declare war on law-abiding gun owners or not,” he said during the meeting. If that holds true, gun owners would be subject to Class A misdemeanor upon the first offense and Class 3 felony for the second and subsequent offenses per the bill. A Class 3 felony could land those found in violation with up to 10 years in prison.)

— House Passes Israel Aid Bill Funded by IRS Cuts – Arjun Singh (COMMENT: If I was still working for IRS, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would kill me. Democrats run IRS. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who they hired. They offered me a job because I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I accepted IRS’s job offer a) because Firestone Stores had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile subsequently withdrew saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, b) because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had died in 1969, and c) because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years and I would get all my seniority and sick leave reinstated. To get rid of me, because I refused to become a Democrat and because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and never promoted me beyond GS-12 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— Antisemitism is on the rise across America–and it’s creeping into the workplace. – JONATHAN A. GREENBLATT AND CLARA HESS (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO’s Chicago office for almost 18 years 1980-1997, at least one of my superiors was always Jewish and often two. During my last 12 years, all of my superiors were Jewish. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed to them that I was conservative, Republican, Lutheran, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. During those 18 years they took many adverse actions against me. They a) forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, b) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and evaluations. c) assigned me to work for, work with, and supervise their most problematic employees, d) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years, f) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, g) always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and h) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In my defense, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul until I was 31. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. I should have earned a master’s degree in accounting much sooner. I should have passed the CPA examination and become a licensed CPA much sooner. When I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31, all my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to me that I was much too old to have a successful GAO career.)

— The following text is in this week’s Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Chairman’s Memo: “We frequently hear that this Memo is not as widely distributed as it should be.

I should write about how the following treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and why: a) leaders of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.
