ABC7
— Texas Democrats plan on staying in Illinois for 2 weeks to halt redistricting

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: As political petition passing begins, Illinois Democrats have flood of candidates; Republicans have a trickle. Democrat and RINO leaders and their mainstream news media ever-increasingly treat the anti-conservative anti-Republican anti-Trump Pat Brady as being the spokesperson for the Illinois Republican Party.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/04/petition-passing-starts-for-2026-election/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So far, no major GOP candidates have emerged for U.S. Senate or most of the statewide offices. Democrats Gov. JB Pritzker, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and Treasurer Mike Frerichs are all seeking reelection. DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick is the only announced candidate for governor of any political stature, and he reported July 1 having only $100,000 in cash on hand in his political fund to take on the billionaire Pritzker. Others are said to be weighing a bid, including former state GOP Chair Don Tracy, Palatine Township Highway Commissioner Aaron Del Mar and Ted Dabrowski, president of the conservative advocacy group Wirepoints. On Sunday, Richard Porter, an attorney and former Republican national committeeman from Illinois, used social media to announce he would not seek the GOP nomination for Durbin’s U.S. Senate seat. “After close consultations with my family and friends, I have decided not to pursue this opportunity,” Porter wrote in a Facebook post. “I intend to stay involved in the effort to turn around Illinois.” Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair on Aug. 14 may prove to be an important event for the party, depending upon whether potential candidates use the day to announce a decision to run.)
— Adding $11 billion to Chicago’s liabilities was a decision that lacked courage, Gov. Pritzker. Alas, the Governor just dug Chicago’s fiscal hole far deeper.

— How postsecondary opportunities for students are changing for the better. My father often decried that he did not get promotions because he did not have a bachelor’s degree. That motivated me to earn not only a job-related bachelor’s degree, but three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/04/opinion-postsecondary-degree-programs-states/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans are losing faith in higher education. Nearly half of adults believe a college degree is less important to get a well-paying job than it was 20 years ago, and only a quarter believe a four-year degree is a very important part of getting a job that pays well. The question of value is front and center for policymakers across the country and in Washington.)
ILLINOIZE
— Top Republicans Critical of Illinois GOP Recruitment. According to reports, Richard Porter has decided to not run for U.S. Senate. My critics/opponents stress that the following have never recruited me to run for any office: past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, pollsters, fundraisers, major donors, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. According to the aforesaid, I am “too conservative.”

They stressed that the cost was covered by my wife’s insurance. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the fact that our doctor advised against it because we both had fertility problems. According to my Democrat GAO superiors, if we had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) become a licensed CPA in 1981. All my Democrat GAO superiors had children and spouses who had little no income. They all strongly decried the time and money they had to spend to raise their children. They all hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if they had not had children, they would have professional certifications, master’s degrees, and a professional license like me.

USA TODAY
— Democrats have devolved into a clown show. Democrats lose elections because they promote more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

I took the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. The job did not really require a college degree. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27 in 1976. By then, it was too late.

They ignored/dismissed/belittled a) that GAO audits IRS, b) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which as a GS-12 Step 1-5, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, c) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, d) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They would have transferred me as a GS-13 if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates viciously used against me my having to take a pay cut to transfer. I made GS-13 in 1986, but only after I had a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was attractive. She was young. She was wealthy. She was demanding. She wanted all her employees to have a graduate degree in finance. I got her appointed to the IIT board of directors for its master’s degree program in financial markets and trading that I completed in 1997. Nevertheless, she played a big role in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

NEW YORK POST
— Texas Roadhouse hit with civil rights complaint alleging DEI discrimination in hiring practices. All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government, they bragged about the preference that gave to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write about that.
https://nypost.com/2025/08/03/business/texas-roadhouse-hit-with-discrimination-civil-rights-complaint-for-dei-hiring-practices/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Roadhouse wrote that it is committed to “attracting, retaining, engaging, recognizing, and developing a workforce that mirrors the diversity of our guests” and provided a chart breaking down the percentages of their employees and managers who were either women or people of color in its 2024 10-K annual report. . .According to the Texas Roadhouse 2024 sustainability report, the company takes DEI factors such as gender and race into consideration when determining nominees to its Board of Directors.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the situation appears, Dialogue portfolios are nothing more than a system modeled after the Chinese Communist Party’s Social Credit System that essentially blacklists Chinese citizens from society if they hold the wrong opinions. Under China’s system, citizens can gain a bad social credit score by daily activities deemed negative by the government. This can include posting opinions on social media or making too many frivolous purchases. A negative social credit score can lead to bans from traveling, throttled internet speeds, or rejections from universities – which sounds eerily similar to the intent of Dialogue portfolios. The last thing college applicants in America need is a dystopian measure to filter out perceived wrongthink. The Supreme Court’s decision to ban affirmative action for universities was to help ensure everyone has an equal opportunity. These “Dialogues” appear to be a purity test that is even worse than affirmative action. While affirmative action is awful, at least there was a chance for universities to admit students of differing viewpoints. Dialogue portfolios give universities the explicit power to reject students solely because of the opinions they hold.)
DAILY WIRE
— For The First Time In 40 Years, The Federal Government Can Judge Applicants By Merit. The move opens the door to an elite federal workforce — and a major victory for President Donald Trump. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the postal job by passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. I qualified myself for the GAO job by working for IRS for almost 9 years, earning an MBA from Loyola, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, and almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/for-the-first-time-in-40-years-the-federal-government-can-judge-applicants-by-merit
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A decades-old court order that blocked the federal government from using tests to measure job applicants’ skills was terminated by a D.C. judge on Friday, setting the stage for an overhaul of the federal workforce that could be one of President Donald Trump’s most lasting achievements. In 1981, Angel Luevano sued the federal government over the Professional and Administrative Career Examination, a test that helped identify the best and brightest out of the tens of thousands who apply for government jobs each year. Luevano argued that the test kept too many blacks and Hispanics out of government, and, in the waning days of President Jimmy Carter’s administration, OPM agreed to pause the test for five years. Forty-four years later, the “Luevano Consent Decree” was somehow still intact. In January, the Trump administration filed a brief challenging the agreement — a feat which required reopening a decades-closed court case in which the original judge had died. The administration argued that it was doubtful the decree was ever appropriate, and that, with Supreme Court case law outlawing affirmative action, it was certainly not now. Angel Luevano is still alive, and agreed to terminate the consent decree, court papers show. Luevano was represented by lawyers from Hispanic and black civil rights groups, two of whom did not return a request for comment. For almost half a century, the federal government has operated like a college that didn’t look at SAT scores when admitting students. Rescinding the Luevano Consent Decree could take the government from safety-school status to Ivy League. “We’re making civil service great again,” Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told The Daily Wire Friday. The move opens the door to technocratic hiring assessments that allow the government to hire applicants who objectively demonstrate the most aptitude. Kupor told The Daily Wire in an interview that the move means Americans may start getting better service at government agencies, with government being more helpful and responsive. “The lasting opportunity here is: can we change the culture of the workforce in the federal government? Can we make it a high-performance culture? That will definitely be the president’s legacy, if we can make that successful,” he said. After the demise of the Professional and Administrative Career Examination and similar tests, the government began relying on “self-assessments” to sift through job applicants, as it was the only measure that saw a sufficient number of minorities enter government. Applicants simply declared how good they were at a task, with no attempt to verify it or compare them to other applicants. That led to a hiring process that rewarded boasting and fabrications as much as merit. Kupor said the de facto prohibition on government checking people’s competency before hiring them — at which point they become difficult to remove — had become particularly crippling in the modern age, with people using artificial intelligence or simply copy-and-paste to take a job advertisement’s requirements and send an application asserting that they had all those skills. The inability to use objective measures to sort the most qualified applicants from a large pool — as virtually all other large employers do — has profoundly impacted the caliber of government employees. The Luevano Consent Decree was perhaps one of the largest applications ever of the philosophy known as “disparate impact,” which holds that anything that produces racially unbalanced outcomes must inherently be racist. But the fallout went beyond just minorities, leaving little way to differentiate a brilliant white job applicant from an incompetent white applicant. OPM General Counsel Andrew Kloster told The Daily Wire in an interview that the government did not make any concessions to reach the agreement. “It was a very easy process,” he said. “They just flat out agreed. It would not have happened without the original named plaintiff agreeing to it and the judge agreeing to accept it.” “This is really kind of an understanding that disparate impact as a way to measure things is not the law of the land anymore. You have to actually show real discrimination. The explicit argument was that the objective tests themselves were racially biased, and obviously that’s bogus.” It is yet to be decided whether OPM will institute a general aptitude test across agencies. But many specific job categories are likely to have their own tests. If the government is hiring, say, computer programmers, it won’t simply ask them how good they are at a programming language. Instead, it will administer a coding test to rank applicants on a uniform scale. The hiring process used by government agencies for decades resulted in hiring that was, at best, random, and at worst, allowed the sort of cronyism and favoritism that the consent decree was supposed to avoid, Kupor said. “We’re going to be able to attract really, really good people, because they’re going to be fairly tested for their merit,” he said. “It also really does eliminate a lot of potential for a bias in the hiring process if you actually use objective standards.” “This is a win for fairness, as well as a win for getting American people the ability to get people with the appropriate skills into the right jobs.”)

https://www.shawlocal.com/kane-county-chronicle/2025/07/31/kane-county-auditor-penny-wegman-announces-bid-for-treasurer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County Auditor Penny Wegman on Wednesday officially announced her candidacy for county treasurer. Wegman, a Democrat, was elected to her second term as auditor last year. She will seek her party’s nomination in the March 17 primary election. If she wins the primary, she will be on the Nov. 5, 2026 general election ballot. In a news release Wednesday, Wegman pledged “to bring her proven record of fiscal responsibility, transparency and innovation to the treasurer’s office.” “As your county auditor, I’ve worked every day to make government more transparent, efficient, and accountable to taxpayers,” Wegman stated in the release. “Now, I’m ready to bring that same commitment to the treasurer’s office – to continue protecting taxpayer dollars and strengthening public trust in our financial institutions.” The current treasurer is Chris Lauzen, a Republican and former state senator and former county board chairman. He has not announced whether he would seek another term. Since taking office as auditor, Wegman said she led on several key initiatives that improved the county’s financial operations and public accountability. These include: Increasing transparency through a more accessible, online county checkbook, giving taxpayers real-time insight into county spending; Creating a successful internship program, providing hands-on government experience to local students and cultivating the next generation of public servants; Identifying and helping close policy gaps, collaborating with the county board to strengthen financial procedures and internal controls; Increasing county revenue by competitively bidding the purchase card vendor, securing better returns for Kane County taxpayers. “These are not just ideas – they are results, ” Wegman said in the release. “As treasurer, I will carry forward this momentum to modernize operations, safeguard county funds, and ensure Kane County residents get the transparency and service they deserve,” Wegman stated in the release. With her background in auditing, financial oversight and public service, Wegman stated in the release that she is “uniquely prepared to transition seamlessly into the treasurer’s role and immediately build upon the office’s core responsibilities: receiving, investing, and safeguarding the county’s funds.” Last year, Wegman received the Innovator Award from the International Association of Government Officials at its annual conference in New Orleans. The award was in recognition of Wegman’s work with the county’s procurement card program, which are known as p-cards and are county credit cards issued to department heads. Her campaign for treasurer will formally launch with a fundraiser on Aug. 28, at The Office, 201 E Main St., St. Charles. The public is invited to attend and learn more about Wegman’s vision for the treasurer’s office. In May, Candida “Connie” Cain announced she left the Kane County GOP to run for treasurer as a Democrat.)

— APRIL 27, 2007 FLASHBACK: GAO settles pay dispute with 12 of 308 (Band II) senior analysts. Counsel finds data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were flawed. My Democrat GAO superiors used their flawed performance evaluations to a) delay my promotions, b) never promote me beyond GS-13 (Band II), c) keep me off audits of IRS, d) always rank in bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and e) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.
https://www.govexec.com/management/2007/04/gao-settles-pay-dispute-with-12-of-308-senior-analysts/24307/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office has reached settlements with 12 of 308 employees denied pay increases last year. The 12 employees were offered promotions, back pay and associated benefits as if they had been promoted as of Jan. 8, 2006, several sources confirmed Thursday. The case goes back to June 2005, when GAO issued a plan for splitting one of its pay bands — Band II — into Band IIA and Band IIB. Employees placed in Band IIA were not granted pay increases, while employees placed in Band IIB got raises. Employees were required to earn a “meets expectations” on their performance appraisal to be eligible for Band IIB placement. GAO issued its final placement decisions in December 2005, and gave employees with Band IIA placement 30 days to appeal to the agency’s Office of Opportunities and Inclusiveness or its Personnel Appeals Board, one source said. “Each one of the 12 marched over to the appeals board as an act of personal courage and chose to run the risk of retaliation,” the source said. Several sources said there was little or no justification for the employees’ placement in the lower pay band. The appeals board’s general counsel, which represented the 12 employees, found that the data and calculations used to conduct the employees’ performance evaluations were unreliable and included significant flaws and inconsistencies. Several GAO employees and other sources, who spoke under condition of anonymity, questioned why the watchdog agency – which has insisted the pay determinations were justified – decided to settle with the 12 employees. The 12 employees are prohibited to speak to anyone about the details of the settlement unless asked as part of a congressional inquiry, one source said, adding that Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., has already asked the employees about the settlements.)

— Danny Davis and GAO. I am sure that Davis approved of, if not orchestrated, if not demanded that GAO force me to retire and replace me with my Black CPA subordinate when I was 49 years old in 1997. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. He was not a licensed CPA like I was.
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Danny+Davis%
(FROIM THE ARTICLE: He has a history of working with the GAO, particularly on issues related to federal workforce management and oversight. . .One specific area of interest for Davis and the GAO has been the federal workforce, including pay systems and diversity within senior executive ranks. Specific Examples: A 2003 GAO report was developed at his request to explore safeguards for Congress to consider related to pay. In 2008, there were discussions about a measure he planned to introduce to grant retroactive pay to certain GAO employees. He has also been involved in addressing pay disputes within the GAO.)

— Northwestern University announced hundreds of layoffs, citing ‘mounting financial pressure’ on Tuesday. Because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, GAO shrank from more than 6,000 employees down to less than 3,000. The agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. The Democrats who ran GAO were beyond furious about that. They took their anger against Gingrich out against me, one of the few remaining Republican employees in the agency. They wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

GAO would not have promoted me to GS-13 when I was 38 years old in 1986 if the GAO manager (Dave) who led the effort to get rid of me had not gone on extended sick leave. That finally allowed the GAO manager (Bill) who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 to assign me to audits of IRS in 1986 and to promote me in 1986. But Dave a) came back in 1987, b) forced Bill to resign in 1987, c) threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, d) gave me a bad job assignment in 1989, e) gave me unfair performance expectations in 1989, f) gave me an unfair performance appraisal in 1989, g) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) in 1989, h) assured that I would always be ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP for the rest of my GAO career, i) assured that I would never again be assigned to audits of IRS, and j) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
— Merit Hiring Plan. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and they got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat.
https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2025-05/Merit%20Hiring%20Plan%205-29-2025.pdf
(FROM THE MEMORANDUM: The American people deserve a Federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, Federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex Federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory “equity” quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled bureaucrats. The American people, who deserve a government that works for them, have suffered. In his January 20, 2025 Executive Order 14170, Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) President Trump directed that “recruitment and hiring processes” become “more efficient and focused on serving the Nation” and that hiring be based on “merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution.” These changes will “ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attract the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively.” President Trump directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to “develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly capable Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.” President Trump stated that this Merit Hiring Plan must achieve seven goals: 1. Prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; 2. Prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch; . . . Finally, the Merit Hiring Plan must provide specific best practices for the human resources (HR) function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement. These HR best practices are included as Appendix 1.2 The key elements of the following Merit Hiring Plan are: 1. Reforming the Federal recruitment process to ensure that only the most talented, capable and patriotic Americans are hired to the Federal service; 2. Implementing skills-based hiring, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements, and requiring the use of rigorous, job-related assessments to ensure candidates are selected based on their merit and competence, not their skin color or academic pedigree;)

— Jeffrey C. Steinhoff. One could compare and contrast Steinhoff’s very successful 40-year GAO career with my failed 18-year GAO career. While both Steinhoff and I are CPAs, Certified Fraud Examiners, and Certified Government Financial Managers, I am also a Certified Internal Auditor, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and a licensed CPA. While Steinhoff served as a National President of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA), I only served on the Executive Committee of AGA’s Chicago Chapter for 13 years. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. Steinhoff had no interest in me even though a) I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, b) I had earned an MBA in 1976, c) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I completed those requirements in 1980 and I subsequently earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.

— See the articles below concerning Trump making Matthew Lohmeier an Air Force Under Secretary. Like Lohmeie, I fought Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI in the federal government. Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used AA and DEI to make the federal government a hostile work environment for Republicans, to waste the careers of Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans. If Republican Presidents, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Representatives had stopped AA and DEI in the federal government, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Further, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have been able to a) never promote me beyond GS-12, b) disallow my education deductions, and c) disallow my travel vouchers. Further, my Democrat Post Office superiors would not have been able to a) force me to resign and b) disallow my sick leave requests.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Getting retroactive Social Security benefit payments. Because of the repeal of GPO and WEP, my Social Security increased from about $3,000/year to about $6,000/year. Also, I got about $3,200 in backpay. Further, because the repeal, I am now eligible to claim 50% of my wife’s Social Security, but I will only get 43% because I took Social Security when I was 62.
https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/the-savings-game-getting-retroactive-social-security-benefit-payments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Q. I receive a significant pension from work I have done outside of Social Security. I have not worked enough hours under Social Security to receive a benefit based on my work record. My spouse is retired and receives a generous Social Security benefit. A few years ago, I contacted Social Security and asked if I was eligible for a spousal benefit. I was informed that because two-thirds of my pension exceeded the spousal benefit I would otherwise be entitled to, that I shouldn’t even apply for a spousal benefit because of the regulations related to the Government Pension Offset (GPO). So I did not apply. When the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and GPO were repealed at the end of 2024, I filed for a spousal benefit because I was told that the two-thirds reduction was no longer in effect. After I applied, I was told that because I never applied for a spousal benefit prior to the repeal of GPO, I was not eligible for retroactive payments. I am now receiving a spousal benefit, but why am I not entitled to retroactive payments? A: More than one reader has written to complain about this situation. There is no logical reason why you should not be entitled to retroactive benefit payments. Many individuals who are now receiving a spousal benefit for the first time because of the repeal of GPO also receive six months of retroactive benefit payments.)

Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .However, according to figures recently released by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, there are still less than 150,000 EVs registered statewide, well below the state’s targeted goal of 1 million by 2030. Infrastructure issues also make that goal difficult to reach though, many experts contend. . .As part of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a $7,500 tax credit for the purchase of a new electric vehicle ends Sept. 30. The $4,000 tax credit for purchasing a used electric vehicle is going away as well. . .Walton said the goal of rebates was to help lower prices for electric vehicles, which has occurred. New entry-level EVs run about $30,000, he said. The average price for any new car in the U.S. is about $50,000. Illinois charges electric vehicle owners an additional $100 per vehicle as part of the annual registration fees. The fee is intended to cover the loss of motor fuel tax revenues that go to pay for road construction and repairs statewide.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When it comes to government, there are few things more unattractive than nakedly partisan power politics, as reflected by a ruthless process called gerrymandering. Too many people don’t understand the concept, but it’s as simple as it is basic. Gerrymandering is the drawing of legislative district boundary lines — both state and federal — to give one political party an advantage over the other on Election Day. The typical tactics used are called “packing” — diluting the minority party’s strength by placing most of its voters into a few select districts — and “cracking” — splitting up a geographically compact group across multiple districts in order to reduce their electoral influence. Presto, chango, legislative elections are won and lost before a single vote has been cast. In Illinois, Democrats have gerrymandered state and federal districts to give themselves a super-majority in the state House and Senate and 14 of 17 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the Texas Legislature plans to redraw congressional maps in an effort to increase Republican members in the U.S. House, the governors of California and Illinois may devise their own new borders. . .As the most populous state in the nation, California has 43 Democratic members of the house and nine Republican members, while Illinois is represented by 14 Democrats and three Republicans. “Everything is on the table,” Pritzker said. The Illinois governor said he doesn’t want to redraw the maps but “if they’re going to take this drastic action, then we might also take drastic action to respond.” “We want the country to understand [that] what’s going on in Texas is a national battle,” State Rep. Richard Pena Raymond, a Democrat from Laredo, said. Raymond told Pritzker that redistricting is “clearly aimed at affecting the entire country.” Responsibility for determining Congressional district maps differs from state to state. In California, an independent commission approved by voters in 2010 works on the maps. Illinois maps, on the other hand, are put together by the state lawmakers have been drawn strongly to favor the Democrat Party in the state.)

NUMBERS USA
— HUGE THREAT TO U.S. WORKERS!! The so-called “Dignity Act” would add 17 million foreign workers to unfairly compete with Americans. Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly fight deportation of their illegals. Illegals take bad jobs. Employers want cheap labor. All my employers would have hired illegals instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs because their parents had lots of money. Because my parents lacked money, I had to take bad jobs. I did yard work for 2 summers. I delivered newspapers for 4 years. I washed dishes for 18 months. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during 1 summer. I delivered mail for almost 3 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money. They look down on people like me, if not despise people like me.

— U.S. Postal Service to celebrate 250th anniversary. What to know about its past, possible future. I worked for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and then NIU in 1969. My salary enabled me a) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and c) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger. In today’s dollars, my salary was $19.37/hour 1966-1967, $20,02/hour 1967-1968, and $20.67/hour 1968-1969. I earned Social Security credits and full-time Civil Service Retirement System credits 1966-1969. My critics/opponents have always been furious about the aforesaid.

They have always been furious a) that my wife has always had good jobs, b) that we could and did always spent like we had only one income, and c) that we gave up trying to have children. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrat leaders call Hegseth partisan. All my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were partisan, and virtually all of them were extremely so. They talked and acted like the federal government existed to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly promote more mass/illegal immigration; Democrat leaders, because immigrants vote for Democrats, RINO leaders, because immigrants take bad jobs and work for less money. If there were as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, I would not have been able to get the bad jobs that I got, and if not that, my wages would have been lower. Those bad jobs enabled me to a) buy a 6-year-old car when I was 16, b) buy a new cars when I 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29, etc., c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, d) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, e) earn professional certifications when I was 30 and 32, and f) earn a professional license when I was 32.

— Is Decapitation a Job Americans Won’t Do?
https://prescottenews.com/2025/07/27/opinion-is-decapitation-a-job-americans-wont-do-ann-coulter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oh look, another American’s been beheaded by a Mexican. This week’s beheader is Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, an illegal alien who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, decapitated 37-year-old Megan Bos, then stashed her body in a bleach storage container. Arrested for the crime in April, Mendoza-Gonzalez was promptly released from custody by Illinois judge Randie Bruno, who is the same physical type — chubby, short-haired, white woman — as the Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal sneak out of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents. Illinois: sanctuary state for Mexican decapitators. Because they’re not busy enough rounding up the 20 million pillars of society Joe Biden allowed to sneak into America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to devote time and resources this week to recapturing Mendoza-Gonzalez. Otherwise, you never would have heard about it, and liberals could keep pretending not to know that Mexican drug cartels decapitate people.)

— How is Trump Changing DOJ? I should write about DOJ while it was under Bush 2001-2009. While it was under Bush, it sided with the Democrats who ran GAO big time. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf That is, it promoted Affirmative Action and DEI big time. That is, it promoted the following big time: race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican elected officials in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
