— 10 Signs People Believe In You and Want You to Succeed – ROBIN DREEKE (COMMENT: Who wanted you to succeed? Who wanted you to fail? I should write two books. One book about those who wanted me to succeed and one book about those who wanted me to fail. Those who wanted me to succeed include a) the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, who overcame tremendous opposition from my Democrat superiors and finally got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who promoted me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987. They include the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him in 1975. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, assigned me to supervise all their problematic employees, turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat IRS superiors who never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Those who wanted me to fail include those who ran Money Magazine in 1978 who published a nasty 4-page article about me in their February 1978 edition that foisted negative government employee stenotypes on me and painted my education deductions as being improper. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat Post Office superiors who forced me to resign in 1969 and previously disallowed my two sick leave requests. Those who wanted me to fail disapproved of my being conservative, Republican, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and/or someone whose ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— Truth, Neutrality, and Conflict of Interest – Judith Lichtenberg (COMMENT: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Reporters and journalists should be required to fully disclose all the sources and amounts of all their income at least once a year. I have never been paid for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that is, I have never been paid for what I do to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and to send them out. All the mainstream news outlets are anti-religious, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-capitalist, if not anti-American. Many, if not most, if not virtually all are anti-heterosexual, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Many, if not most, if not virtually all vehemently reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Many, if not most, if not virtually all promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Many, if not most, if not virtually all overtly act as arms of the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Therefore, the more income that you get from the mainstream media, a) the more that you have to do to push the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green party platforms, b) the more that you have to do elect and to reelect Democrat candidates, and c) the more that you have to do to defeat Republican candidates.)

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly push pot.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-cannabis-sales-dip-from-monthly-record/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marijuana sales come with a social risk. A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found instances in which children ingest cannabis are up 1,375%, which was blamed on edibles that look like candy and other treats to toddlers. Illinoisans pay the second-highest taxes in the nation to buy recreational marijuana, which pushes consumers to unregulated sellers. Illinois was recently rated the nation’s 8th-most sinful state, and state lawmakers like to impose sin taxes. But there would be less need to do so and more revenue available for public services were state lawmakers committed to reforming pension spending, which has increased by 584% since 2000. For reference, total spending has grown by 21% in that time. Instead of inventing new ways to tax Illinoisans and hoping for more sinful behaviors, lawmakers should look to the other side of the budget: spending. Revenue shortages will always be an issue when spending increases at an irresponsible and unsustainable rate.)

— Democrats say that DeSantis has laid down the gauntlet to Donald Trump.
https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-trump-2024-election-gop-challenge-1784049
— Democrats say that DeSantis is preferred to Trump by nearly every key GOP demographic. What demographics a) do you share with both Trump and DeSantis, b) do you share with Trump only, c) do you share with DeSantis only, and d) do you share with neither Trump nor DeSantis? Trump and DeSantis and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, have master’s degrees, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Trump and I are about the same age, German American, Protestant, and draft avoiders. While Trump and DeSantis have degrees from Ivy League universities, I do not. While Trump and DeSantis have children, I have none. Trump has no professional certifications or licenses and DeSantis is an attorney. I have six professional certifications (CPA and Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant) and a professional license (CPA). While Trump and DeSantis have not been union members, I was one for almost 12 years. While Trump and DeSantis have been federal elected officials, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. DeSantis was a Congressman. GAO works for Congress, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. So far, Democrats and RINOs have succeeded in making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) far more than they have succeeding in making Trump and DeSantis pay the price of AA and DEI.

HUFFINGTON POST
— My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having evil motives and bad judgment. Those who are hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an operative/dupe for Trump. Because of that, they did everything that they could a) to stop me from getting press credentials to cover the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) to stop me from speaking with high-profile Republicans at that event, and c) to stop me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at that event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my motive for reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were is to put them on Trump’s hit list. But wait, we will probably never know a) who decided which high-profile Republicans were invited and which ones were not invited and why, b) which high-profile Republicans who were invited wanted to attend but could not, c) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, d) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, but could not, e) which high-profile Republicans who were invited but did not attend because they despise/hate Trump, DeSantis, and/or all conservatives, and f) which high-profile Republicans attended to demonstrate their hatred against Trump. High-profile Republicans include past and present a) U.S. Senators, U.S. Congressmen, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, statewide elected officials and candidates for the aforesaid offices, b) Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and DuPage County township party leaders, c) Illinois, DuPage County, township, and municipal leaders and candidates for the aforesaid offices, h) major donors, i) conservative leaders, and j) religious leaders.

GAO
— Tax Gap: Modest Reductions in the Gap Could Yield Large Fiscal Benefits (COMMENT: I worked for GAO for 3 years on IRS’s efforts to reduce the tax gap.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106448
(FROM THE POSTING: According to IRS estimates, taxpayers—people and businesses—collectively pay about 85% of the total taxes they owe. The difference between what taxpayers owe and what they pay on time is known as the tax gap, which IRS estimated to be $496 billion per year for tax years 2014-2016. In this snapshot, we identify factors—such as the complexity of tax laws—that contribute to the gap. We also offer strategies to reduce it. For instance, IRS should implement a way to digitize tax returns so that its tax enforcement programs can better identify noncompliant taxpayers, such as those who underreport income. Tax law enforcement is on our High-Risk List.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kirk’s address was organized by the McHenry County GOPac, a local conservative political action committee. The event was titled “EXPOSING Radicals’ War on Kids” and was advertised as a summit aimed at “rescuing children from government-run schools that are ruining America’s future. Karen Tirio, the committee’s chair, said earlier in the week that school districts play a key role both in and out of the classroom and are “failing us.” She said she didn’t feel the event was partisan and hoped those attending walk away with tools to help them engage with the system. Tirio also sits on the elected McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees. Among a list of speakers, its biggest draw was Kirk, who grew up in Prospect Heights and founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which seeks to engage young conservatives on college campuses.)

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/stanfords-class-of-2026-doesnt-look-like-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The demographic profile of Stanford University’s class of 2026 is out, with 1,736 matriculated students in the freshman class of one of the world’s most prestigious universities. But as some perceptive critics were quick to notice, one key demographic is disproportionately underrepresented: While whites make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s adolescent population, per 2019 Office of Population Affairs numbers, they were only 22 percent of Stanford’s class of 2026.)

— DirecTV deplatforming Newsmax and the censorship of conservative voices will be a major topic of discussion at CPAC. If/when hate-filled conservative-hating Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and/or RINOs succeed in stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, who will come to my defense? It does not look good for me because of those who could have and should have come to my defense, but did not come to my defense when the aforesaid conservative-haters ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004 and when the aforesaid conservative-haters a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. Nevertheless, I hope that the following would come to my defense: a) those Republicans who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect to offices in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois since 2000; b) the MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, and especially my representative on the IRP State Central Committee; c) conservative activists, conservative leaders, and conservative religious leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois; and d) those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

— Biden Says His Age Is a Legitimate Issue – Taegan Goddard (COMMENT: Starting in 2000 when I was 51 years old and had better health, more energy, and more motivation, for every primary election, I would gather 30 signatures in my precinct on nominating petitions for all of the Republican candidates. But sadly, not any more. Yes, my health is not as good now, I have less energy, and I have less motivation, but more than that, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates who lose primary elections and/or who lose general elections and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for candidate defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for candidate defeats. They do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. Recently, they did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst.)

— Let’s Swap Racial Preferences for Ability, Skill in College Admissions – Jonathan Butcher (COMMENT: UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43. But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today. In my defense, I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.)

— DeSantis Has ‘Decades Ahead of Him’ When He Can Be President: Sarah Palin – Naveen Athrappully (COMMENT: DeSantis is 44 years old. Careerwise, what did you have ahead of you when you were 44 years old? When I was 44 years old in 1992, because I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988, careerwise, I had nothing ahead of me except my anticipation that they would let me work until I was eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003. But they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49.)

POLITICO FLORIDA
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump demonized the media. DeSantis wants to diminish them. Florida Republicans are seeking to weaken laws protecting journalists.” I should write a book about those who have blamed me and who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most since 2000 for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/23/florida-gop-desantis-proposal-sue-media-00084023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated Legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’ ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN and The Washington Post — media companies he claims are biased against Republicans — as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill. . .Andrade’s proposal incorporates many of the elements DeSantis called for during the roundtable, including: allowing plaintiffs who sue media outlets for defamation to collect attorney’s fees; adding a provision to state law specifying that comments made by anonymous sources are presumed false for the purposes of defamation lawsuits; lowering the legal threshold for a “public figure” to successfully sue for defamation; repealing the “journalist’s privilege” section of state law, which protects journalists from being compelled to do things like reveal the identity of sources in court, for defamation lawsuits.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have used that against me the most. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In my defense, I stress that when the Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete left the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod in 1961, my parents transferred them, me, and my brother to the Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest to stay with the Missouri Synod.

Ten times that is $1,426,500.)

— Turn Against
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/turn%20against

DIERSEN COMMENT: Who has had the greatest success in turning people against you? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the greatest success in turning people against me in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 1978. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would devote chapters to those who are the following who my critics/opponents have had the most success in turning against me:

— those who reject the individual responsibility plank in the Republican Party platform
— those who reject the traditional marriage/family plank
— those who reject the right to life plank
— those who reject the immigration plank
— those who reject the illegal drugs plank
— those who reject the Second Amendment plank
— those who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank
— those who paint themselves as being religious, but work against religious people
— those who paint themselves as being conservative, but work against conservatives
— those who paint themselves as being Republican, but work against Republicans
— minorities
— females
— younger people
— LGBTQers
— parents
— veterans
— non-married people
— non-Protestants
— non-German Americans
— those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time
— those who have less money than I have
— those who despise/hate union members
— those who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees
— those who despise/hate American nameplate vehicles and their owners

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money.

I would focus those who ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I would focus on those who have had far more advantages in life than I have had, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my unfairly benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-married, parents, veterans, non-union members, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, those whose ancestor have not been in America for a long time, etc.

I would focus on those who did the most to stop me from being invited to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. I would focus on how they treated me at that event.

I would especially focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect, but who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

I would especially focus on the aforesaid who are currently taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs have candidates win nonpartisan elections and general elections who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigrations, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about that.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The top 10 Democratic presidential candidates for 2024.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/19/top-democrats-2024-ranked/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker Few on this list would seem to be telegraphing their presidential desires — at least in a race without Biden — as strongly as the Illinois governor. His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Inside the collapse of the Trump-DeSantis alliance of convenience. Behind an apparent close alliance, the two Republicans have racked up years of mutual suspicions fueling a 2024 grudge match.”

FLORIDA POLITICS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Republicans elect Christian Ziegler as State Chair.” Who do the following want to win the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary: a) the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, and c) the leaders of your Republican county/township/ward party organizations. Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

FOX BANGOR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis kicks off pro-police tour in Democrat-run cities as White House rumors swirl.”
https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/desantis-kicks-off-pro-police-tour-in-democrat-run-cities-as-white-house-rumors-swirl/article_257337d1-7d47-5f43-9b31-dbd6cd1c3077.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

WFIN
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Tim Scott’s massive war chest could give him head start in 2024 presidential campaign.”
https://wfin.com/fox-political-news/tim-scotts-massive-war-chest-could-give-him-head-start-in-2024-presidential-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

— The U.S. Navy lowers its standards yet again – Andrea Widburg (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who ran the federal government in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)

— COMMENT: Democrats ask if George Washington was woke. To be woke is to be anti-American, anti-heterosexual, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-married people, anti-people who have more money than other people, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the following who are the most woke: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) conservative leaders in the aforesaid, d) religious leaders in the aforesaid, and e) those who I have sued. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken and/or are taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

NPR
— COMMENT: Democrats acknowledge that “Many voters think Biden is too old for a second term” but say “The White House isn’t worried.” Who has deemed you to be too old to do what? My Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to be too old to be promoted again, and therefore, to be “failed,” if they did not make GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($152,527) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. In that book, I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40. I earned a) $92,279/year (GS-12 Step 1) in today’s dollars when I was 25, b) $104,583/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I was 30 and 35, and c) $117,047/year (GS-13 Step 3) when I was 40. I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being “failed” and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “DeSantis now a factor in Chicago’s mayoral race. The GOP governor will be headlining an event for police in Elmhurst on Monday. Mayoral candidate Paul Vallas distanced himself from the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, which endorsed him, after it promoted the event.” I should write a book about closet Democrats in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2023/2/17/23605080/florida-gov-desantis-chicago-mayoral-race-vallas-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A casual reading of the DeSantis invite on the FOP site could leave an impression that somehow the FOP was a host or organizer, but that is not so. A GOP source told the Sun-Times the DeSantis political team was organizing the law enforcement event in the western suburb – not anyone in Illinois. FOP Lodge 7 President John Catanzara Jr. – an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump and up for re-election next month – told the Sun-Times he was contacted by “some people” with DeSantis, who he declined to name, to help promote the visit. Catanzara said “obviously” there “are people in Illinois that are interested in him running for higher office,” and since DeSantis was “coming to town to do a police speech,” Catanzara was asked, “Could I pass that information on to my members?” Catanzara’s reply: “Absolutely.” In a video posted Friday on YouTube, Catanzara said the DeSantis event “is not being hosted by Lodge 7” and that “all we are simply doing is promoting a speech that he is coming to town to give in support of the men and women of law enforcement in this state and in this country.” That the FOP was publicizing the DeSantis visit was enough for Vallas’ chief rivals, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, D-Ill., to jump all over Vallas and to try to make him wear the jacket for the DeSantis cultural warrior platform – a big minus to many Chicago voters. It also fueled Lightfoot’s campaign strategy to paint Vallas as a closet Republican in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.)

Ever-increasingly, expect that ever-increasingly, as you get older, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will use your age against you. I should write a book about how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have ever-increasingly used my age against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/feb/18/julianna-goldman-biden-is-old-but-age-isnt-what-it/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Haley wasn’t just playing politics. She was also engaging, consciously or unconsciously, in one of the most sinister and under-researched forms of prejudice: age discrimination. To confront it, the president needs to both call it out and not call too much attention to it. There are advantages to getting old, but he doesn’t necessarily want to campaign on them. . .But I have learned that aging isn’t what it used to be, and that I need to confront my own biases about it. “The frontier of longevity has shifted in a positive way,” says Adam Felts, a researcher with the AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its research focuses on people who are living longer and better than ever before, especially people in better socioeconomic circumstances with access to newer medicines and technologies. One of his research groups is a panel of individuals who are all at least 85 years old. “When I see how sharp they are, it shapes my perspective around what is possible even for people in their mid to late 80s.” Looking at someone such as Biden, who has the best medical care available, “we may have to think about his age trajectory differently.” In fact, says Felts, we should be thinking differently about aging in general, for all Americans. Humans tend to overestimate how much people within a given category have in common with one another, says Jessica Nordell, author of The End of Bias. When someone states that Biden is “too old” without pointing to specifics, it reflects an antipathy toward older people that is culturally ingrained.)

MEDIATE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump Addresses ‘Meatball Ron’ in 1 a.m. Post Ripping DeSantis.” Politics is nasty/vicious. So far, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have refrained from publicly slandering me. But they certainly would have publicly slandered me if they had not succeeded in taking their adverse actions against me that they did. Because of my demographics (heterosexual, conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, old (74), gun-owner, draft-avoider, non-poor, married, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978), they would have publicly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. One thing that has held them back from publicly slandering me is the fact that I have filed lawsuits against my superiors in the federal government and against people who have lots of political, government, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and/or in DuPage County.

Therefore, to pay for my UIC and NIU college expenses and for new cars to get to/from jobs and college classes, a) I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and the summer of 1965, b) I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights the summer of 1966, and c) I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. That enabled me to graduate from NIU debt-free in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

It is called “up-or-out.” Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and I never made GS-14. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who do not make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. So far, Nikki Haley has indicated that she supports up-or-out. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on my critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have stressed the most that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38, that I never made GS-14, and that the federal government forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming to speak to Chicago FOP Monday in Elmhurst.” If/when the location of this event is publicly announced, will hundreds/thousands of DeSantis supporters and opponents come?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-desantis-coming-to-elmhurst-fop-20230216-pvj4zlc7effmhiufh4dozrqnum-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, exploring a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is scheduled to speak at an invite-only event Monday in Elmhurst to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police and potentially deliver some rhetorical political payback to Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The Presidents Day visit to a so-far undisclosed location in the Chicago area would represent an escalation of the feud between DeSantis and Pritzker, who has been the focus of some speculation as a potential 2024 Democratic presidential candidate if President Joe Biden does not seek to be nominated for a second term. In July, Pritzker was keynote speaker for a gathering of Florida Democrats in Tampa where he took aim at the Florida governor. Pritzker assailed DeSantis as “just Donald Trump with a mask on” and, more recently, has attacked the Republican’s policies blocking some teachings of racial and gay curriculum. In delivering his combined State of the State and budget address on Wednesday, though not mentioning DeSantis by name, Pritzker referred to a “virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship” and the right wing who are waging an “ideological battle” that serves to “marginalize people and ideas they don’t like.” In January, Pritzker wrote a letter to the College Board, asking it not to change the advanced placement African American Studies course “in order to fit Florida’s racist and homophobic laws.” The College Board earlier this month said it was revising the AP course to eliminate lessons on Black Lives Matter and the reparations movement. But after the DeSantis administration criticized the curriculum as left leaning and lacking “educational value,” the College Board said the criticism amounted to “slander.” That prompted DeSantis to suggest earlier this week that his state might drop AP classes from its schools. The DeSantis political operation did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons behind the Florida governor’s visit, which is open only to members of the law enforcement community. But a DeSantis speech to Chicago’s FOP Lodge 7, set for an undisclosed location in west suburban Elmhurst, would appear to be aimed at attacking Pritzker and Democrats over outbreaks of violent crime in the city as the mayoral election nears. An invitation to the event said the location would be disclosed to registrants “48 hours prior to the event.” John Catanzara, head of the Chicago police union, as well as the city and state FOP, endorsed Pritzker’s Republican opponent, Darren Bailey, in last year’s governor campaign. The Chicago FOP has endorsed challenger Paul Vallas for Chicago mayor as Lori Lightfoot seeks a second term. Catanzara was not available for comment. A law enforcement source said DeSantis was supposed to talk to the Chicago FOP within the last two months but that event was canceled.)

ELMHURST PATCH
— DeSantis Coming To Elmhurst: Chicago FOP. Chicago police officers have been invited to a “Back the Blue” event. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/desantis-coming-elmhurst-chicago-fop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to come to Elmhurst on Monday, according to the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police. On Thursday, the organization invited members to see the Republican governor at a yet-to-be-disclosed site in Elmhurst. Doors are set to open at 3:30 p.m. According to the invitation, the location will be revealed 48 hours before the “Back the Blue” event. The invitation said DeSantis would speak about law enforcement. Patch obtained the invitation Thursday afternoon. Organizers apparently did not want to alert the media at this point. The Florida governor’s office referred questions to the Florida Republican Party. Patch left an emailed message for comment with a GOP spokeswoman. At the event, active and retired officers are allowed to attend, but not their spouses. In a message to Patch, Mayor Scott Levin said he had heard DeSantis was coming to town. “I have no confirmed location, but I assume and hope that before Monday, they will coordinate with the city, if there’s a large turnout expected,” the mayor said. DeSantis has called Florida the state “where woke goes to die.” He is widely considered to be running for president. He was once seen as an ally of former President Donald Trump. But Trump has criticized DeSantis over the last few months, most recently calling him “Meatball Ron.”)

The aforesaid blacklisters want the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct to blacklist me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nasty campaign ads are reaching a fever pitch in the Chicago mayor’s race, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and chameleon Congressman George Santos have emerged as foils to attack Paul Vallas. DeSantis is coming to suburban Elmhurst on Monday to talk to members of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police in a hush-hush meeting. And Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is using the visit to attack Paul Vallas, who’s been endorsed by the FOP. “Paul Vallas must condemn the FOP for inviting Ron DeSantis, a dangerous and xenophobic authoritarian to our state,” Garcia said in a statement.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If elected president, Nikki Haley says she will seek mental competency tests for federal elected officials over 75 years of age. The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations’ proposal is receiving pushback from older lawmakers, but not from all. Asked about Haley’s proposal Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, despite his age, Biden has met the arduous demands of his job and delivered major legislative victories. The Trump campaign did not respond to an email Thursday seeking comment.)

It is called age discrimination. I should write a book about that.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/02/16/cnns-don-lemon-says-nikki-haley-is-past-her-prime-at-51-heres-what-research-says/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One research study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly found that the 50s is a woman’s prime of life, indicating that Haley is indeed in her prime. Better health, empty nests and higher income distinguished the 50s from the earlier and later periods of life for women. Women in their 50s also showed greater confidence, involvement and breadth of personality. Since the CNN discussion surrounded politics, a candidate’s prime may be defined by voter preferences. Again, Haley appears to be in her prime. One telling study found that male and female candidates in their 40s and 50s are preferred over candidates in their 30s, 60s and 70s. The researchers did not study candidates in their 80s. When it comes to cognitive and creative ability, yet another study suggests the 50s decade may be the prime time for some. The study examined 31 Nobel Prize winners in economics to determine when they made their most significant contributions. Those whose work was more conceptual peaked at age 25, but those whose work was more experimental peaked in their mid-50s. To be fair, some cognitive abilities peak at a younger age. Speed in processing information peaks at age 18 or 19, and short-term memory starts to drop off at around age 25. However, other abilities, like evaluating other people’s emotional states, peak in our 40s and 50s. In addition, wisdom, which refers to a deep understanding of different aspects of life, also peaks in midlife. Perhaps when Lemon referred to Haley not being in her prime, he was referring to her fertility or physical strength. In this case, he’d be correct. The peak for both men and women is much younger for these areas. Both men’s and women’s fertility starts to decline in their mid-30s, but women’s fertility declines much more rapidly than men’s. When it comes to muscle mass, physical strength and flexibility, men and women peak in their late 20s to early 30s. But none of these skills are required for a nation’s leader. Lemon’s comment is not just offensive because of Haley’s relatively young age but because women are devalued more than men as they age. When women’s bodies are no longer functioning at their peak and women are past their reproductive age, women are thought to be past their prime. This doesn’t happen to men in their fifties. Lemon cited Google as his source for women’s prime, suggesting the search engine would back up his assertions, “If you Google ‘when is a woman in her prime?’” Ironically, a Google search on that question now reveals news about Don Lemon’s comment. Whether or not you appreciate Nikki Haley’s politics, it’s tough to argue that she isn’t in her prime as a presidential candidate.)

COMMUNIST PARTY USA
— COMMENT: Communists say “Attacks on Black Studies reflect ruling class worries.” How does the ruling class in your municipality, in your township, and in your county treat you? I should write a book about how the ruling class in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County has treated me since 1978. I would focus on those ruling class members who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who forced me to file lawsuits against them.
