— Biden, Harris call parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, the hostage with Chicago ties slain by Hamas
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/09/01/biden-harris-call-parents-hersh-goldberg-polin-hostage-hamas-israel-ceasefire
— To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, my superiors were under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to promote Democrat women and especially those who were minority, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. All my coworkers who were the aforesaid and who my superiors promoted over me had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

— My critics/opponents have always dismissed/belittled/badmouthed the jobs that I had while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, UIC 1966-1968, and NIU 1969-1970. I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. According to my critics/opponents, my taking those jobs proved that I am a loser.

— Public higher education is essential to training our future workforce (COMMENT: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, because of their Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, because of their race and gender based preference giving, that is, because of their patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, fewer and fewer and fewer high school students who are the following seek college degrees: Republican, White, male, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. They see that under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the likelihood of their getting hired for jobs that require college degrees is less and less and less. After I graduated from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, it took me 10 months to get a job that required a college degree, and I got that job because the Democrats who ran IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or someone who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time who would take the job. None of my IRS coworkers had master’s degrees in business. IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. Further, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly view degrees from non-Ivy League universities as being worthless. So unless you can get a degree from an Ivy-League university, you are discouraged from trying to get one at all. My Democrat IRS and then GAO superiors ever-increasingly viewed as being worthless my aforesaid bachelor’s degree, my 1976 MBA from Loyola, my 1980 master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and my 1997 IIT master’s degree in financial markets and trading.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE & CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— What is your position on unions? I should write about my critics/opponents who are the most anti-union and who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as having been overpaid because I was a union member. They stress that while I was a union member for almost 12 years, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, I stress that during that time, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, a master’s degree in business from Loyola, and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul and b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly use Vance’s wife against Republicans
https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/ap-is-usha-vances-hindu-identity-an-asset-or-a-liability-to-the-trump-vance-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Usha Chilukuri Vance loves her “meat and potatoes” husband, JD Vance. She explained to a rapt Republican National Convention audience how their vice-presidential candidate adapted to her vegetarian diet and even learned to cook Indian food from her immigrant mother. That image of her white, Christian husband making the spicy cuisine of her parents’ native state in South India is atypical for the leaders of a party whose members are still largely white and Christian. Her presence at the RNC sparked enthusiasm on social media among some Indian American conservatives, particularly Hindu Americans, although most Indian Americans identify as Democrats. But for all Usha Vance shared about their identity-blending marriage in her speech last month in Milwaukee, which was a little over four minutes, she made no mention of her Hindu upbringing or her personal faith and their interfaith relationship – biographical details that have exposed her to online vitriol and hate.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, to get votes from those who will never vote for them, Republican candidates ever-increasingly paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative if not anti-Republican. Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that if elected, they will use government to give more preference to voters who are the following: liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, have less money than others, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, boozers, gamblers, stoners, criminals, in America illegally, etc. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat and RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders ever-increasingly promote the following but then blame Republicans for the problems that the following cause: a) dependency on government and charity, that is, poverty and crime, b) LGBTQ, that is, destruction of traditional marriage and family, c) abortion, that is, destruction of respect for human life, d) mass/illegal immigration, that is, poverty and crime, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, that is, poverty and crime, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, that is, diminishment of personal safety, and f) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is race and gender based preference giving, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and the end of meritocracy. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How fast are Republicans in your county, in your township, in your municipality, in your school district, and in your precinct selling their homes and moving to Florida and to other red states? How fast are Democrats buying those homes? From what see, the pace is increasing in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, School District 200, and my precinct. As Democrats move in, poverty and crime increase. Of course, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters blame Trump for that. But they do not blame anti-conservative and conservative-hating leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) or of their Republican county/township/ward party organizations. None of the leaders of the IRP are directly by Republicans. – Dave Diersen

— If we’re to believe Kamala Harris, she’s the most immigration hawkish immigration hawk that ever lived. Sure, she denies she was ever the Border Czar, though googling the term—if Google hasn’t scrubbed it—yields more than 30,000 references to Kamala as the Border Czar, but that’s surely disinformation or Trump or something.

Yet Democrats don’t want anyone to have to produce an ID to vote for the president of the United States/Leader of the Free World, though one is needed to do virtually everything else!)

— Did you get scholarships? I did not. My critics/opponents have always used that against me. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and my mother never attended high school. Further, because my parents were not poor but they lacked money, I had to work my way through college. Instead of studying, I washed dishes while I was in high school and I delivered mail while I was in college. Consequently, my ACT score was lower and my GPAs were lower. I should write about my critics/opponents whose parents were wealthy and who got scholarships because their ACT score and their GPA were high.

Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have used pot, b) are using pot, c) want to use pot, and/or d) want to make money selling pot. I have never used pot and I never will. I have always vehemently opposed pot. If I had been a pot user, I would not have graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score would have been lower, and UIC would not have accepted me in 1966. I would not have earned a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 and master’s degrees from Loyola in 1976, DePaul in 1980, and IIT in 1997. The Post Office would not have hired me in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, and if they had hired me, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986.

All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time and/or had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

FORBES
— Overqualified? As I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I ever-increasingly had more education and more professional credentials than my supervisors and superiors had. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (1976), 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. The head of GAO during that time, Charles Bowsher, was not a CPA and he was not a licensed CPA like I was. While my immediate supervisor during my last 4 years with GAO had a master’s degree and had passed the CPA examination, she had no other professional certifications and she was not a licensed CPA like I was.)

They did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 years old. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled/rejected the fact that I had earned three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

— Trump’s plan to slash government could hurt Republicans in a key House race. For nearly a decade, former president Donald Trump has rallied voters around a cry to cut the size of the federal government and “drain the swamp.” (COMMENT: When Republicans slash federal agency budgets, the Democrats who run those agencies get rid of their Republican employees first and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what happened while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. They would have succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, c) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) earned a master’s degree in Financial Markets and Trading from IIT in 1997.)

They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars.

They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes. They ever-increasingly ignored/dismissed/belittled a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, b) my earning job-related master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) my passing on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, and e) my earning more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I might still be worked for the postal service if my Democrat superiors had not forced me to resign in 1969 by falsely claiming that I was not available to work enough hours. I was available to work every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors disapproved/despised/hated my being a draft-avoider, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and a Crete resident since 1948. Further, they were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire/retain/promote Democrat minorities, females, and veterans. The aforesaid is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, and notional origin discrimination.)

— One-fourth of Accounting Professionals Want More DEI Involvement  (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997, fewer and fewer and fewer of their employees a) had degrees in accounting and b) had passed the CPA examination.  I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. My superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Because I was none of the aforesaid, my superiors wasted my career, forced me to retire in 1997, and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who was a CPA. However, he had far less work experience than I had. He had far less education than I had. He had only one professional certification while I had six. He was not a licensed CPA.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Bosses Are Finding Ways to Pay Workers Less (COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In today’s dollars, I earned $18.99/hour delivering mail 1966-1967, $19.62/hour 1967-1968, and $20.25/hour 1968-1969. I earned $54,728/year collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1972, $66,942/year 1972-1973, $80,994/year 1973-1974, and $97,079-$110,020/year 1974-1980.

FORTUNE
— The government promised an easier FAFSA. Now thousands have no financial aid at all. (COMMENT: I worked my way through college. To have money for UIC and NIU expenses and for cars to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and jobs and classes, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, and worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. The aforesaid enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

According to them because I am none of the aforesaid, I owe all my successes in live to discrimination against those who are the aforesaid.

— Time for Never Trumpers to Drop their Conservative Charade – Rick Manning (COMMENT: I should write about the biggest Never Trumpers in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.)
https://dailytorch.com/2024/08/time-for-never-trumpers-to-drop-their-conservative-charade/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee, is the most liberal nominee for president in history. She has ardently supported Medicare for All, also known as a complete federal government takeover of health care, even though she has tried to walk it back in this election cycle. Philosophically, self-proclaimed conservatives have argued vehemently against this policy and the experience of Covid should have given the practical reasons to back the rhetoric. She is on record as opposing hydraulic fracturing and the Biden-Harris energy policy is one that makes the country more dependent upon electricity generation while ending the most reliable sources to generate electricity. With the  key Electoral College state Pennsylvania being a major economic beneficiary of fracking Harris now claims to be against banning the process. GOP “leaders” claim to oppose the Green New Deal destruction of fossil fuels generation, and pretend to understand that reliance on unreliable sources of energy puts our nation at risk. She has proposed price controls on food as a solution to inflation. You can’t find a single conservative leader in America who believes that the government can do a better job of pricing commodities than the market, and that food price controls don’t mean food shortages. Not even the Washington Post thinks this emphasis on price “gouging” is a good idea. Kamala Harris is an abortion extremist who as the California Attorney General raided the home of an independent journalist who uncovered an elaborate business venture by Planned Parenthood to market and sell baby body parts from aborted children.  Kamala Harris did not prosecute Planned Parenthood, but the journalist who uncovered and videotaped the sickening practice of selling off body parts as if aborted children were human parts manufacturers. On taxes, she has embraced taxing unrealized capital gains. An example of an unrealized capital gain would be to impose a tax on a homeowner on any appreciation of the value of their home even though that money is only a paper gain and not in their bank account. Also, the Tax Foundation found that Harris’ pledge to end the Trump tax cuts will mean a tax increase for most Americans. In fact, the bottom half of taxpayers would have their average tax rate raised to 4 percent from the current 3.4 percent.  Married couples with two children making a joint income of $85,000 a year would see their taxes go up by $1,661 a year, the equivalent of almost 2 percent of their entire pre-tax salary for the year.  And of course, the Biden border Czarina Harris has seen 10 million illegals encountered at the border since she was given stewardship of the border crisis by President Biden. Note that this does not include the estimated 2 million illegals who got away after being observed by the Border Patrol. It is so bad that Harris is trying to deny any part in the Biden border fiasco, but not even Google can make the news clips of her appointment go away. It is really hard to find a screwball, California idea that Harris hasn’t supported, including banning gasoline powered cars, which the Biden-Harris administration would put out of business by 2037, two years after California banned them. All of this does not even include the Biden-Harris weaponization of the Justice Department and intelligence agencies against their political opponents, the on-going censorship and manipulation of social media platforms to promote the left’s political agenda, or her adamant opposition to the Second Amendment. In fact, it is hard to find a part of the Constitution that Harris actually supports. Given the above, any person who endorses Kamala Harris for president can no longer call themselves a conservative in any way, shape or form. They are not. They are massive government enablers unable to get over the fact that Donald Trump defeated them in a primary election in 2016 and again in the primary of 2024. The question that the Liz Cheneys of the world need to answer is whether they were lying when they claimed to be pro-life, support free markets, lower taxes, less federal government control, gun rights, energy independence and the basic freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution. Even those with the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome should be able to look at the policies of Kamala Harris and reject them outright. Those with the worst cases have the option of voting third party – maybe the pot party (err, the Libertarian Party) is high enough to earn your vote. But endorsing Kamala Harris is admitting that everything you said was important no longer matters, and that you support the likely final stage of the fundamental transformation of America because … Donald Trump. I can no longer take those seriously who have embraced the New Age Harris who rejects constitutional governance in her musings about being unburdened by the past The very soul of America is at stake, and there is no room in the fight to preserve the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution and the ideal that all are created equal endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights for those who would sacrifice our fundamental liberties because they don’t like mean tweets. Now, more than ever, in the words of Ronald Reagan, this is our time for choosing.)

— White Undergrads Sue Department of Education for Racial Discrimination in Scholarship Program. – DAVID ZIMMERMANN (COMMENT: What are your demographics? In what ways are those who share your demographics underrepresented? I am conservative. Ever-increasingly, those who are conservative are underrepresented in America, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, and in School District 200. Ever-increasingly, those who are conservative are underrepresented in the Republican National Committee, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Department of Education is accused of discriminating against two white college students who did not meet the racial requirements for one of its top scholarship programs in a new lawsuit filed by a conservative law firm. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) announced on Wednesday that the Department of Education is being sued for its Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, which excludes applicants who are not from “underrepresented segments of society.”)
— You Can Get through College without Debt. – GEORGE LEEF (COMMENT: I had to work my way through college and I did. I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. To ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth that, my critics/opponents have always stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, that my ACT score was only 24, that I got no scholarships, that my GPA was not that great, and that NIU is not Ivy League. In my defense, I stress that my GPA suffered because instead of studying, I worked all the part-time hours that could washing dishes while I was in high school and delivering mail while I was in college. But I acknowledge that could have a) worked fewer hours, b) earned less money, and c) not bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.)

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Gotion is presenting sponsor of Manteno Oktoberfest – Chris Breach (COMMENT: Who sponsors the Independence Day parades and fireworks in your area? In 2021, the Democrats and RINOs who run Wheaton stopped Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. I should write a book about that. I had served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005.)
https://daily-journal.com/news/local/gotion-is-presenting-sponsor-of-manteno-oktoberfest/article_4c6c2be0-5f40-11ef-8a83-279ec12597a8.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Manteno resident Annette LaMore, who is a spokeswoman for the Concerned Citizens, said she was blown away that Gotion is sponsoring the Oktoberfest. “We cannot believe it,” she said. “This is a foreign entity who is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party. Why in the world are we inviting them into our town, making them the sponsor of our biggest fundraiser of the year?” The CCOM is entering a float in the Oktoberfest parade, and LaMore said she was asked by Josh Stauffenberg, chair of the chamber’s board of directors, to not use “No Gotion” signs on the float because it didn’t want anyone protesting another chamber member. LaMore said the CCOM will comply with the request. “So, do I have mixed feelings about all this? Yeah, you bet,” she said. “So, from our point of view, Gotion is not doing anything to make Manteno a better place to live. We do not want Gotion here. We do not want chemicals in our town. We do not want dangerous, possible explosions and fires. “… We’re standing up for our town. We want our town to be a safe place for all of us to live.” ONLY ONE TO BID  Knox said Gotion was the only chamber member to put in a bid to be the presenting sponsor. He said the $50,000 is a quite a jump. “It’ll really enhance the festival,” he said. “I’m excited for the community and to see the new additions that we’re going to be bringing in with the investment that they’re helping us make.” Knox said the chamber has heard some concerns about Gotion being the presenting sponsor, but that comes with the territory. “We’re just going to push forward and show [the community] all the great things that they are bringing,” he said. “We can’t lose sight that there’s the whole other side of the coin that’s optimistic and excited for this kind of partnership and presenting partnership.” The influx of money is allowing the chamber to add to the Oktoberfest including a drone show Friday night, a partnership with River Valley Animal Rescue with the Makola Gold Star family project, performance stages and entertainment all four nights. “We’re upping the ante,” Knox said. LaMore, a lifelong Manteno resident, said she plans to attend the Oktoberfest. “I have heard from some people who have said, ‘I don’t even think I want to go this year,’” she said. “That’s the word on the street that I’ve heard.”)

FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Illinois Bans Most Employers from Using E-Verify – Jonathan Ellett
https://www.fairus.org/legislation/state-and-local/illinois-bans-most-employers-using-e-verify
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) recently signed into law a bill that significantly hampers employers’ ability to utilize E-Verify to check the work authorization of their prospective employees. Following California’s lead, Illinois becomes the second state to impose restrictions on E-Verify usage. This legislation was not the first time the use of E-Verify has been challenged in Illinois. In August 2007, the legislature passed a law which explicitly prohibited employers from using E-Verify until the U.S. government could prove its accuracy. This effort was short-lived, as an Illinois District Court struck down the law in March 2009 for violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Then, in 2023, SB 1515, was introduced which prohibited employers from voluntarily enrolling in E-Verify unless they were required to do so under state or federal law. However, Governor Pritzker vetoed that legislation stating that the bill did not do enough to protect “workers.” This year, legislation to restrict the use of E-Verify was reintroduced. Section 13(b) of the Act, broadly prohibits the use of E-Verify. Section 13(b) reads that an “employer shall not impose work authorization verification or re-verification requirements greater than those required by federal law.” As federal law does not require the use of E-Verify, this means that Illinois employers may not use E-Verify to check whether their employers are work authorized unless there is some reason (such as prior violations) that the federal government requires them to. This prohibition applies to both public and private employers. Supporters of the bill claim to be helping workers from some sort of injustice. State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes (D-Chicago), the primary sponsor of the new law, stated that his motivation was to protect “marginalized workers” from being flagged during the employment authorization process due to grammatical errors. “With this law, we can correct bureaucratic errors that would otherwise be detrimental to their income and livelihoods.” Another sponsor, State Representative Eva-Dina Delgado (D-Chicago), proclaimed that in “too many other states, E-Verify is being abused. In Illinois, we are moving in the opposite direction.” While Illinois enacted legislation that helps illegal aliens violate the law by taking jobs and driving down wages, FAIR will continue to advocate mandatory E-Verify laws at the federal, state and local levels because it is a simple tool that works. As we detailed in a FAIR issue brief, illegal immigration fell by as much as 50 percent in a single year in states with mandatory E-Verify laws. Moreover, E-Verify eliminates the main incentive for illegal aliens to come to the United States: work.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In July, the Supreme Court declined to review a similar case on Illinois’s AR-15 ban. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, urged the court to clarify what makes a weapon dangerous and unusual. But legal observers say the Supreme Court is more likely to take up the case out of Maryland. The lower-court litigation, unlike in the Illinois case, is completed with a final judgment against the plaintiffs and amassed a more extensive evidentiary record. The Fourth Circuit ruling also carries more weight coming from the full bench instead of a typical three-judge panel.)

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

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/24/illinois-chicago-corruption/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Blagojevich — backed by his influential father-in-law, 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell — later ran for governor as a reformer, looking to succeed Republican Gov. George Ryan, who went to federal prison for corruption. In that case, underlings from Ryan’s tenure as secretary of state were found to have sold driver’s licenses for bribes, with some of that money being funneled into Ryan’s campaign fund. The fund became the first in American history to be indicted for racketeering.)

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

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

They took many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that.)

— American patriots put America’s national interests ahead of the interests of those who share their demographics, that is, they put America’s national interests ahead of those who share their political affiliation, race, gender, sexual orientation, age group, religion, national origin, length of time their ancestors have been in America, financial status, etc. But Democrats and RINOs put the interests of those who share their demographics ahead of America’s national interests, that is, they put the interests for those who are the following ahead of everything: Democrat, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have less money than others, are in America illegally, etc.

— Make Sick Leave Pay You for a Lifetime. Unused sick leave can be a valuable tool to help federal employees boost their retirement pensions. – Wes Battle (COMMENT: I earned lots of sick leave while I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. They are furious that my using only very little of it increases my Civil Service Retirement System pension. Many, most, and at times virtually all of my coworkers and subordinates a) used all of the sick leave that they earned as fast as they earned it and b) painted themselves as having health problems.)
