Now, in his super petty way, he’s calling DeSantis a RINO and suggesting he’s done nothing to make the state the beacon of freedom that it is today. Trump is losing his mind over DeSantis, to the point that he has to smear him and lie about him to attack him.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Supreme Court Seems Wary of Limiting Protections for Social Media Platforms. The case, concerning a law that gives websites immunity for suits based on their users’ posts, has the potential to alter the very structure of the internet.” My critics/opponents are beyond furious that Section 230 limits their ability to sue me. Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, they blamed me for what I did as a) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/us/google-supreme-court-youtube.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal law at issue in the case, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, shields online platforms from lawsuits over what their users post and the platforms’ decisions to take content down. Limiting the sweep of the law could expose the platforms to lawsuits claiming they had steered people to posts and videos that promote extremism, advocate violence, harm reputations and cause emotional distress.)

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/gop-mega-donor-and-ex-trump-ambassador-endorses-desantis-dont-like-the-name-calling/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote on Tuesday that DeSantis’s event will “be scrutinized for which donors attend — including how many of them were once Trump backers who may be looking to defect from the former president to the Florida governor.” Isenstadt noted that DeSantis is currently making all the standard moves a candidate makes before jumping into a presidential race. The governor is about to release a book and is traveling the country to raise his national profile. Additionally, DeSantis has already won over many former Trump donors.)

MERRIAM WEBSTER
— Invitation (COMMENT: One could argue that because the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event was an “invitation-only” event, the following should be fully disclosed: a) who determined who was invited to attend and who was not invited to attend and why, b) which past and present Republican elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. who were invited did not attend and why, and c) who determined which reporters were invited to report on the event and who were not invited to report on the event and why. Since 2000, as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have reported on who attended many such events in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that no one should want to be listed in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter as having attended an event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are listed, that information will be viciously used against you. Immediately after my critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service, and my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, they deleted all my reports on who had attended TAPROOT, MTRO, and ICRC events. Do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am an operative/dupe for Trump and b) that Trump will destroy not only DeSantis, LaHood, and Hires, but that Trump will destroy each and every person that I listed as having attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. Further, do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if you attended the event, you are not only not afraid of Trump, but that you are a Trump-hater.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fired his first shot at The College Board when he rejected an advanced placement African American studies course, saying it pushes a political agenda. Now, it seems he was just getting started. Top state officials have reportedly been meeting the founder of a college entrance exam called the Classic Learning Test, considered an “alternative” to The College Board’s SAT. . .Tate said the SAT has become “increasingly ideological.” He blamed test writers who “censored the entire Christian-Catholic intellectual tradition” and other “thinkers in the history of Western thought.”)

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. If I had been one or more of the aforesaid, I would not have complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination. I would not have become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She (Haley) suggested to an audience of about 200 that gender education need not begin in schools before middle school, marking a contrast with prospective candidate Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor last year signed legislation forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before fourth grade. . .Though several would-be candidates including Trump were in Iowa last year campaigning for midterm candidates, these first impressions at the outset of the GOP presidential primary are important. That’s especially true as many in the GOP wait to see whether DeSantis proceeds with a White House bid.)

Further, my father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.

I should write a book about that. 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.

E RELEASES
— Media advisory (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I did not get a media advisory for the “invitation only” Elmhurst DeSantis event until after I requested one from the DeSantis campaign. I should write a book about those involved in the event who know me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters very well and who could have and who should have assured that I got a media advisory, but who failed/refused to do so. I would focus on how they treated me at the event. I would focus on those who treated me like they did not want me there. I would focus on those who treated me like I was not a member of the news media. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) discourage/stop me from speaking with attendees and b) discouraged/stopped me from speaking with attendees. I would focus on how they have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect in my role as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I would focus on those who curry favor with the Democrat news media by failing/refusing to send me media advisories. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I promote an event, the more protesters show up. 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 on those who not only reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, but promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.ereleases.com/pr-fuel/press-release-vs-media-advisory/
(FROM THE POSTING: A media advisory alerts the media, in a concise manner, to upcoming events (like a press conference). Think of it like an invitation that answers only the important questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. . .The purpose of a media advisory is to announce an upcoming event they may want to attend or cover, such as a press conference, forum, rally, or event to convince them it is worth reporting on. It should be issued 3-5 days in advance of that event. The goal of a media advisory is to give them the information they need to determine whether that event is worth their time to attend, cover, or report on and to convince them to do so.)

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.

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.)

The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations’ proposal is receiving pushback from older lawmakers, but not from all.

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.)

HEALTHLINE
— Mental Status Tests (COMMENT: Nikki Haley calls for “mental competency tests” for politicians over 75. I should write a book about age discrimination. Politics is nasty/vicious. How old are you? I am 74. If your critics/opponents succeeded in forcing you to take a mini–mental state examination (see below) and/or a mental status examination (see below), would you pass them? How good are your “appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills?” What do you stress that shows that you would pass the tests? For me, it is my putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters every morning. But my critics/opponents would demonize, denigrate, and condemn my “judgment skills.” According to them, my judgment is deplorable a) because they cannot manipulate me or dominate me, b) because I refuse to glorify and praise them, c) because I refuse to pander to them, d) because I refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) because I refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) because I refuse to give them money. They would stress the brain bleed ( https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14480-brain-bleed-hemorrhage-intracranial-hemorrhage ) that I suffered January 10 last year. But I would stress that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois has declared that I did not suffer a “traumatic brain injury.” I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-status-tests
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What Are Mental Status Tests? Mental status tests are done to test an individual’s cognitive function. The tests can be given by a number of different healthcare providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses. A psychologist is required to conduct more complex testing when there are questions about specific neurocognitive disorders. Mental status tests will examine your appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills. Mental status testing may also be referred to as mental status examination or neurocognitive testing. Reasons for Testing Mental status testing can be done to help diagnose mental illnesses or conditions affecting the brain. Mental status testing can help diagnose: Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, dementia, head trauma, personality disorders, intellectual disability, neurocognitive impairment, schizophrenia, stroke, transient ischemia attack: sometimes referred to as a “mini-stroke” which lasts less than 24 hours. What Happens During the Test? The main type of mental status test used is the mini-mental state examination, also known as the Folstein Mini Mental State Exam. In this test, the examiner will observe your appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Mini–mental state examination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini%E2%80%93mental_state_examination
(FROM THE POSTING: The Mini–mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairment. It is commonly used in medicine and allied health to screen for dementia. It is also used to estimate the severity and progression of cognitive impairment and to follow the course of cognitive changes in an individual over time; thus making it an effective way to document an individual’s response to treatment. The MMSE’s purpose has been not, on its own, to provide a diagnosis for any particular nosological entity. Administration of the test takes between 5 and 10 minutes and examines functions including registration (repeating named prompts), attention and calculation, recall, language, ability to follow simple commands and orientation. It was originally introduced by Folstein et al. in 1975, in order to differentiate organic from functional psychiatric patients but is very similar to, or even directly incorporates, tests which were in use previous to its publication. This test is not a mental status examination. The standard MMSE form which is currently published by Psychological Assessment Resources is based on its original 1975 conceptualization, with minor subsequent modifications by the authors.)
— Mental status examination
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_status_examination
(FROM THE POSTING: The mental status examination (MSE) is an important part of the clinical assessment process in neurological and psychiatric practice. It is a structured way of observing and describing a patient’s psychological functioning at a given point in time, under the domains of appearance, attitude, behavior, mood and affect, speech, thought process, thought content, perception, cognition, insight, and judgment. There are some minor variations in the subdivision of the MSE and the sequence and names of MSE domains. The purpose of the MSE is to obtain a comprehensive cross-sectional description of the patient’s mental state, which, when combined with the biographical and historical information of the psychiatric history, allows the clinician to make an accurate diagnosis and formulation, which are required for coherent treatment planning. The data are collected through a combination of direct and indirect means: unstructured observation while obtaining the biographical and social information, focused questions about current symptoms, and formalized psychological tests. The MSE is not to be confused with the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE), which is a brief neuropsychological screening test for dementia.)

At 38, she also was the nation’s youngest governor. Haley is the first woman to be a major candidate for president in 2024, and just the fifth Republican woman this century.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “President Biden will undergo a routine checkup on Thursday.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/15/us/politics/biden-trump-obama-physicals-doctors-health.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is no legal requirement to follow when it comes to the president’s checkups, and the amount of information released has always been up to the man himself. But President Biden’s exam on Thursday will get extra scrutiny because, at 80, he is America’s oldest president. “There probably is more pressure in this situation,” said Dr. Dan Blazer, professor emeritus at the Duke University School of Medicine. “That’s just our society.” Mr. Biden’s exam has been delayed for weeks because of what officials said were scheduling issues. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, said the administration would follow the same routine as with Mr. Biden’s previous physical. “We want to be transparent,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday. “We want to make sure you have the information, and it will be coming from the physician. In 2021, after a checkup and a colonoscopy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the White House released a six-page letter from the president’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, declaring Mr. Biden “healthy, vigorous” and fit to carry out his duties. He noted at the time that the president had developed a “more pronounced” tendency to cough during speaking engagements and a stiffer gait caused by age-related changes in his spine. He also ruled out the possibility that the stiffness could be caused by a stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or other neurological disorders. Dr. O’Connor did not say in his report whether Mr. Biden underwent cognitive testing. While many doctors recommend the testing for older adults, presidents have not regularly made public such examinations, said Matthew Dallek, a political historian. But because of Mr. Biden’s age, “the more positive information, the more Biden can give the public a clean bill of health, the probably more reassuring it is for people,” Mr. Dallek said. Mr. Biden has said he intends to run for a second term, but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party. It also has left him vulnerable to attacks by Republicans. Nikki Haley, who announced her presidential bid on Tuesday, called for “mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old,” a threshold that would include both Mr. Biden and Donald J. Trump. And in her rebuttal against Mr. Biden’s State of the Union address last week, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas called Mr. Biden “unfit.” Mr. Biden has dismissed those concerns, telling voters simply: “Watch me.” . . . In 2018, the Trump administration sent Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician, to declare to reporters that Mr. Trump enjoyed “excellent health” without initially releasing any basic information, such as weight, blood pressure or cholesterol levels. A memorandum on his health released in 2019 did not detail the physical examinations that Mr. Trump underwent, or their results, as the White House physician did for Mr. Obama. Some presidential candidates have gone to great lengths to answer questions about their age or health. In 2008, after Senator John McCain secured the Republican presidential nomination, his doctors invited about 20 reporters to a room in Arizona to examine Mr. McCain’s medical records.)

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3859633-haley-calls-for-us-to-move-on-from-faded-names-of-the-past/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called on Wednesday for the United States to move on from a rapidly aging generation of politicians, pitching her newly minted campaign for the White House as a chance for voters to install a younger and more diverse leader. “We’re ready — ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past,” Haley said, speaking to a crowd of supporters in Charleston, S.C. “And we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future.” . . . At another point, she demanded mandatory “mental competency tests” for office-holders over the age of 75, playing into a frequent conservative claim that President Biden isn’t mentally fit to serve in the White House. But that remark was also a tacit swipe at Trump, who would be 78 by the time of his second swearing-in.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is a virulent strain of nationalism plaguing our nation, led by demagogues who are pushing censorship, with a particular attack right now on school board members and library trustees,” Pritzker said. . .As Pritzker embarks on a second term, he’s stirred speculation about potential White House ambitions by entering the fray on national issues and presenting himself as a progressive foil to other possible presidential aspirants such as Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, who’s courted conservative voters with his restrictive education policies. “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. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.” . . . “In the age-old fight between happy warriors and misery’s carnival barkers, we’ve shown that if we resolve to do it, happy warriors win every time. And we are winning,” Pritzker said, employing a label he frequently slaps on Republicans. . .Members of the most conservative contingent of the GOP caucus bristled at Pritzker’s partisan jabs. “We’re still ‘carnival barkers,’” Republican Rep. Adam Niemerg of Dieterich said. “Well, he’s the governor, and he is running the so-called carnival, and he’s running it right off the leftist cliff.”)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Pritzker’s budget to provide preschool for 5,000 children to cover all of those early childhood deserts.” My outstanding mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised me and my brother in Crete. When her husband/my father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, the best job that I could find for her was driving children to/from the Montessori School in Park Forest.

GINGRICH 360
— Do We Need Seven National Anthems?
https://www.gingrich360.com/2023/02/13/do-we-need-seven-national-anthems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the Black National Anthem already exists, it can be No. 1. No. 2 could be a Latino National Anthem (there are of course many different nationalities and ethnicities covered by Latino but the Mexican, Cuban, El Salvadoran, and other nationalities would have to come together to pick one anthem). Three could be a Native American National Anthem (there are of course 574 legally recognized tribes included in the term Native American – but we can’t have 574 separate anthems, so they would have to be satisfied with one anthem which tribal councils would have to hammer out and endorse). The fourth could be an Asian American National Anthem (the numerous, dramatically different groups encompassed within Asian American include Afghans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, Indonesians – itself including a remarkable number of subgroups – Iranians, Japanese, Koreans, Pakistani, Tibetans, Thai, Vietnamese, some Russians, etc.). But, again, they would need to come together to agree on one anthem. No. 5 could be a White National Anthem for the various Caucasian European groups who came to America (recognizing that English, Germans, Greeks, Irish, Italians, Poles, some other Russians, Scots, Scandinavians, Welsh, and more represent a wide range of white European backgrounds). But why stop with ethnicity? Six could be an LGBTQ National Anthem for those Americans who believe their sexuality and gender are the most important aspects of their humanity. Finally, the Star-Spangled Banner could remain as the seventh. After all, if we are dividing America, we need a song for those who want to honor of the amazing cultural melting pot from which the Founding Fathers forged a new unified nation from a multitude of backgrounds. Before the recent emergence of the new woke racism, the Star-Spangled Banner had been the unifying song which historically brought Americans with shared pride of patriotism together. Besides, wokeism’s narrative requires an enemy to kick around. But enough nonsense. Efforts to subdivide Americans into ethnic blocs are impossible to sustain and ultimately will collapse of their own inherent contradictions.)

I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

DAILY HERALD
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Batavia school board candidates discuss equity, student mental health.” If I was still the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, those organizations would still be hosting candidate forums. QUESTION: What do hate-filled conservative-hating Republican leaders NOT want school board candidates to promise to do if elected? ANSWER: To slow down if not stop indoctrination, grooming, and the promotion of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms, that is, to slow down if not stop the promotion of a) LGBTQ, sexual activity, and abortion, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and the destruction of the traditional family; b) CRT, 1619, BLM, wokeness/wokeism, identity politics, victimhood, reparations, etc., that is, race and gender based preference giving, that is, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination; c) mass/illegal immigration, that is, replacing those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats; d) abolition of the First and Second Amendments; e) unions and unionization; f) dependency on government and on charity, that is, the end of individual responsibility and liberty, that is, socialism, communism, and dictatorship; g) hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, parents, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestor have been in America for a long time; h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices; i) outlawing of gasoline-powered vehicles and lawn mowers, gas stoves, etc.; and j) the rest of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms. Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO teachers deny that they do any the aforesaid, but not always. See what a Crete-Monee High School teacher recently said at: https://fox17.com/news/nation-world/i-am-in-fact-indoctrinating-your-children-teachers-accused-of-politicizing-classrooms She said “All you right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs who seem to think the teachers are out here just indoctrinating children into some sort of woke agenda that you can’t actually define.” and “I’m just going to come clean.

By January of 1980, I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, b) earned an MBA from Loyola, and c) worked for IRS for almost 9 years. By June of 1971, I had a) passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination, b) earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, and c) worked for Firestone Stores for 10 months.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “South Carolina GOP seeks control of Greenville County Republican party reorganization.” In Illinois, ever-increasingly, anti-conservative RINOs control the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). Ever-increasingly, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans, as being “too conservative” and force them out of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/politics/sc-gop-seeks-control-of-greenville-county-republican-party-reorganization/article_d69230d4-a980-11ed-bfad-07252a908932.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A year and a half after an insurgent “MAGA” movement took over the Greenville County Republican Party, the South Carolina GOP apparatus at odds with the group is planning to seize control of the county party’s upcoming local organizational efforts. The South Carolina Republican Party’s executive director, Hope Walker, said the move is rooted in concern that leadership of the county party has alienated mainline Republican voters that state leaders want to attract as they look to the 2024 election cycle. Jeff Davis, chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, called the state’s intervention a “tyrannical” power grab using dirty tricks to find any justification to seize control. It’s the latest expansion of what has been an acrid rift along the fault line of perceived loyalty to former president Donald Trump and lingering grievances over the 2020 election. Next month, the party will conduct its precinct reorganization, a biennial effort that culminates in a county convention. It’s a vital fundraiser with pomp and circumstance, with the aim of recruiting and mobilization. “Everything will run through the state party,” Walker told The Post and Courier. “The convention is supposed to be a fun and inviting time. We want as many people as we can to get involved and not be turned off. We don’t want that to be a deterrent for someone to get involved.” The county party’s current leadership managed in summer 2021 to oust a state party-friendly governance that had been elected a few months before — an election that Davis said was proven to be rigged by “RINOs,” short for “Republicans In Name Only.” “I think they want the opportunity to cheat again,” Davis told The Post and Courier regarding the state party’s move to take over reorganization. “They did it just to try to throw a monkey wrench.” On Feb. 2, the state party’s Rules Committee voted to recommend that the State Executive Committee vote to take over Greenville County’s reorganization and convention, according to a Feb. 4 memo formalizing the recommendation and endorsed by 13 members from across the state. State party leaders accused the county party of, among other alleged violations, conducting chaotic and sometimes violent meetings without proper quorums that have created a steady member exodus. Added to that, they said, is the county party’s opposition to successful Republican candidates that back the former president. The result in part led to the creation of the Fourth District Republican Club, a group representing more-mainstream Republicans which has hosted the likes of former 4th District congressman Jim DeMint and former presidential candidate Ben Carson. In December 2021, the State Executive Committee had Davis escorted from its meeting and banned him from future attendance. However, Davis told The Post and Courier that the county party’s leadership was unaware of any rules violations and repeatedly sought clarification from the state party dating back to November, only to be stonewalled. “This was just a surprise,” Davis said. “They never told or sent any communication that we were breaking any rules.” In a Feb. 8 letter to Walker, the county party asked for specifics on how the state party would assist in the reorganization effort. It inquired about funding and providing 3,000 necessary reorganization forms that county leaders said have been distributed to other counties. Davis said he believes establishment Republicans want to enlist voices that align with like-minded GOP politicians, whereas he would attract a crowd of 3,000 with an “America first” slate. Davis pointed to the county party’s successful effort in electing its preferred members to the Greenville County School Board. “I think they’re real nervous about our convention,” Davis said, adding that the takeover also is rooted in concern that he will run for the state chairman position. Meanwhile, Walker said state leadership is forging ahead with planning Greenville County’s effort. “Right now, we are working on venue dates and locations for what the process will look like in Greenville,” Walker said. The divide began in the weeks following Trump’s November 2020 loss to President Joe Biden and unproven claims of widespread voter fraud. Powered by the conspiracy theory, more people began to attend county party meetings in greater numbers, facilitated by a group Davis and others started, MySCGOP. It happened just as the party conducted that year’s reorganization. In April 2021, a three-person slate of candidates backed by traditional party leaders was elected to lead the county apparatus, a vote conducted virtually because of the pandemic and before widespread distribution of vaccines. A faction billing itself as the “MAGA slate” objected and claimed a rigged process. That group met in a Greenville hotel ballroom that day and submitted paper ballots. The MAGA slate lost in a close race, but come summer the insurgent group applied enough pressure to prompt the leadership’s resignations. That’s when Davis came into power, along with state executive committeeman Pressley Stutts, who a month later died due to COVID-19. Throughout the course of the year, the county party led protests against vaccine mandates, acceptance of election results, detainment of some of those accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and a host of other far-right issues. The county party at one point changed the party logo to feature Trump’s signature swooping, orange combover. It isn’t the only intraparty conflagration in South Carolina. In September, five members of the Horry County Republican Party abruptly resigned. Billing themselves as “America First Patriots” — mostly aligning with the beliefs of the current Greenville County party leadership — the Horry County leaders cited harassment and “backhanded” political tactics by the state party to undermine them. The resignations came after a September State Executive Committee meeting, which voted to condemn and remove perks from the members of the committee who, using false allegations, attempted to stall the reconvening of the 2021 State Republican Convention.)

I recently bought a used 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT daily driver, a new 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier in 2021, a new 2019 Ford Escape Titanium in 2019, a new 2016 Ford Mustang in 2016, a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T in 2012, a used 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS in 2010, a new 2005 Chevrolet Corvette in 2005, a new 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1995, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I continue to own all of the aforesaid except the Cavalier which I traded-in for the Cruze. Ever-increasingly, a major factor that motivated me to buy the aforesaid vehicles is that more and more and more gasoline-powered makes and models are being discontinued.)

— Here Comes the 60-Year Career. As people live longer, healthier lives, the traditional 40-year career will become a thing of the past. But that’s going to require a new mind-set—and a lot more planning. – Carol Hymowitz (COMMENT: How long is/was your career? Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My Democrat GAO superiors ended my almost 18-year career with GAO in 1997 when was I was 49 years old when they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” Constructively, that rendered me unemployable and rendered my GAO work experience worthless, my six job-related professional certifications worthless, my job-related professional license worthless, and my three job-related master’s degrees worthless. But even worse than that, it gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes tremendous ammunition to use against me. For example, to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at its annual convention in Wheaton in 2006, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO forced me to retire because I was an extremely bad person. They completely rejected that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discriminations, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf I should write a book about the aforesaid and about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)

Duckworth reintroduces bill to ban race based internments.” What is Duckworth’s position on the Internment of German resident aliens and German-American citizens during WWI and WWII? SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_German_Americans My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I have often stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI ( SEE: https://www.capturingcrete.org/items/show/111 and https://www.capturingcrete.org/items/show/152 ), that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.
https://1430wcmy.com/2023/02/11/sen-duckworth-reintroduces-bill-to-ban-race-based-internments/
(FROM WIKIPEDIA: Internment of German resident aliens and German-American citizens occurred in the United States during the periods of World War I and World War II. During World War II, the legal basis for this detention was under Presidential Proclamation 2526, made by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt under the authority of the Alien Enemies Act. With the US entry into World War I after Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare, German nationals were automatically classified as “enemy aliens”. Two of the four main World War I-era internment camps were located in Hot Springs, North Carolina, and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer wrote that “All aliens interned by the government are regarded as enemies, and their property is treated accordingly.” By the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. Among residents of the United States in 1940, more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained at least 11,000 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals.[3] The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien Enemies Act. To a much lesser extent, some ethnic German US citizens were classified as suspect after due process and also detained. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US. The United States had allowed immigrants from both Germany and Italy to become naturalized citizens, which many had done by then. In the early 21st century, Congress considered legislation to study treatment of European Americans during WWII, but it did not pass the House of Representatives. Activists and historians have identified certain injustices against these groups. Unlike Italian Americans and Japanese Americans, German Americans have not received an official apology for these events.)

Two of the GOP’s freshmen in Congress tell their political stories and explain why Democrats can’t take Black and Hispanic voters for granted.” I should write a book about the ever-increasing tremendous pressure from “political consultants” that the leaders of the following are under to play identity politics, that is, to recruit, to retain, and promote candidates who are minority, female, younger, and/or moderate: a) Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization and b) Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. To give preference to those who are minority, female, younger, and/or moderate is to discriminate against those who are White, male, older, and/or conservative.

Many, if not most, if not virtually all of them reject many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid planks.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Ron DeSantis: He’s been the candidate to watch for the past several months, and he’s still the frontrunner. What are his flaws? He lacks warmth, detractors say, he doesn’t get along with the press, and is too conservative on social issues. Actually, those could be attributes. LOOK FOR DeSANTIS to announce after the Florida legislature adjourns in late spring. He’s only 44 years old, a plus as the country looks for fresh leaders. He’s a graduate of Yale and the Harvard Law School and is a Navy veteran. DeSantis is the GOP favorite, poised to give Biden a very competitive race.)

Because of my bad demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents have made me pay lots of reparations since the 1970s.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Supposedly “nonpartisan” groups are influencing ad companies behind the scenes to blacklist conservative websites under the guise of fighting what they consider to be “disinformation.” A recent report from the Washington Examiner delves into the inner workings of these groups and their relationship with ad companies, as they are essentially using their influence with these ad companies to target right-wing outlets. According to the report, some brands are reaching out to third-party companies tasked with tracking what they deem to be “disinformation,” thereby advising the brand to defund websites the organization believes are spreading falsehoods or misleading narratives.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct a) that me and my newsletters are far too conservative and b) that the more that I do to help elect/reelect them, the more votes that they lose. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

As they prepare to elect their next mayor, city voters chose crime and public safety as the top issue guiding their decisions — and a whopping 63% of them don’t feel safe, a Sun-Times/WBEZ/Telemundo Chicago/NBC5 Poll found. But differences of opinions emerged among voters of different racial backgrounds.”

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Indiana Republicans back partisan school boards switch. Indiana Republicans have forged ahead with a proposal that would upend the current nonpartisan school board elections across the state despite opponents of the change arguing it would further inject politics into local schools.” What is the political affiliation a) of the members of your school board and b) of the April 4, 2023 candidates for those positions? The Democrat Party does everything that it can to elect and to reelect Democrat school board members. In Illinois, Democrats have succeed in stopping the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization from helping elect Republican school board members. Consequently, Democrats run public education in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Wisconsin-based PAC raising money ‘to educate voters in McHenry County’. McHenry County Citizens for Lower Taxes was created last month by Thomas Datwyler and has a PO Box in Hudson, Wisconsin.”
https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/news/local/2023/02/08/wisconsin-based-pac-raising-money-to-educate-voters-in-mchenry-county/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While the scope of the new PAC in McHenry County was unclear, Datwyler’s other efforts in Illinois have helped GOP candidates, records show. Datwyler last year was involved with The Firewall Project, which helped unsuccessful Republican Illinois Supreme Court candidates Michael J. Burke and Mark Curran, as well as failed GOP DuPage County Board candidate Greg Hart in last year’s election, records show. The Firewall Project, for which Datwyler also was listed as chair and treasurer, was listed with a Washington D.C. address, records show. It made more than $1 million in contributions to Illinois candidates including nearly $399,000 to Burke, more than $408,000 to Curran and about $423,000 to Hart, online records show. Families for a Safer Illinois, another committee of which Datwyler was the treasurer, received $745,000 from the Republican State Leadership Committee between July and October of last year, records show. That amount marked all the money the committee received, records show. The Republican State Leadership Committee’s board includes former President Donald Trump’s onetime chief of staff and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus, as well as Karl Rove, who was a senior advisor to President George W. Bush.)

FORBES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The Illinois School Voucher Law Is About To Ride Into The Sunset” and ask “Will Lawmakers Rescue It, Or Just Wave Goodbye?” How much money did your parents have when you were young? Because my outstanding parents had enough money to send me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned them and me as being filthy rich. In my and in my parents’ defense, my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 6-cylinder 2-door Chevrolet. My mother never worked outside of our home until after he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because my parents lacked money to pay for my college expenses, a) I did yard work 1962-1964, b) I delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) I washed dishes 1964-1966, d) I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and e) I delivered mail 1966-1969.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “CPA Diversity Report Explores the Barriers to Minority Advancement in the Profession.” Were you a barrier? My Democrat GAO superiors demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a barrier to my Black CPA subordinate’s advancement. So they a) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) gave him my job, and c) gave him my preferred corner office. Previously, to get rid of me, they a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, c) gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, d) assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees, e) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworker, and subordinates against me, f) never promoted me beyond GS-13, g) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and h) forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from 12 Step 5, currently $104,583/year, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/immigration-reform-group-calls-on-mccarthy-to-get-border-security-bill-onto-house-floor_5035800.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Until we have a mandatory workforce verification system–like E-Verify–in place, immigrants will have an incentive to come into our country through illegal means. We want and need immigrants to come to our nation to contribute to our economic success, but we must also remain a sovereign nation governed by the rule of law.” Chmielenski said Calvert’s proposed Legal Workforce Act has “actually been endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, and National Home Builders Association. These are organizations that tend to oppose additional mandates on employers.” Right now, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 22 states impose some form of “mandatory E-Verify rather than just requiring I-9,” he said, which puts the onus on employers to “become document experts. E-Verify is a touchy subject in the states but [mandatory E-Verify] would replace a patchwork of laws from state-to-state and go a long way” to addressing the nation’s immigration issues.)

ABC7
— COMMENT: Democrats say “State of the Union: Biden recognizes Brandon Tsay, who disarmed Monterey Park shooter and says He saved lives. It’s time we do the same. Ban assault weapons now.” On their way to abolishing the Second Amendment, Democrats want to register all semiautomatic firearms, then ban all semiautomatic firearms, than register all firearms, then ban all firearms, then confiscate all firearms from non-Democrats starting with non-Democrats who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, homeowners, married, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

NORTHERN STAR
— COMMENT: Democrat say “Student Government Association proposed petition criticizes NIU’s efforts at inclusion.” NIU let me transfer from UIC in 1969 when I was 20 years old, but because of my bad demographics, if I was 20 years old today, I doubt that NIU would let me do that today. I am White, male, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, non-poor, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Factors that encouraged NIU to let me transfer included I was a federal employee (Park Forest Post Office), a union member, draft avoider, and I had not been active in Republican politics at Crete-Monee High School or at UIC.
https://northernstar.info/103019/news/sga-petition-criticizes-nius-efforts-at-inclusion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid growing concerns of what it’s calling NIU’s inactivity toward racism and lack of diversity on campus, the Student Government Association has proposed a petition to shed light on student concerns. The proposed petition was co-authored by Historian Atlas Babcock and Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Olivia Newman and was developed in collaboration with feedback from Black student organizations on campus. The petition proposed highlights three issues with the university raised by students: “A lack of diversity and representation in campus staff and administration,” “performative activism” and “lack of long-term community support.” Among examples of student complaints are over-policing at Black events, a lack of Black representation among administration and staff, failure to provide upkeep to the BLM mural and more. Much of the discussion around the proposed petition centered on the university’s handling of inclusion in the past and what the SGA wants NIU to do going forward.)

DAILY EASTERN NEWS
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs attribute all the successes that White males have to their benefitting from discrimination against minorities and against females. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger. If I had been a Democrat a minority and/or a female, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, long before I was 40 in 1988. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. Because I was not a Democrat, a minority, or a female, a) IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, Step 5, currently $104,583/year, and b) GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, did not promote me beyond GS-13 Step 1, currently $109,732/year, until I was 38, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would cite my many Democrat coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional license.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Biden faced GOP jeers.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/07/takeaways-state-of-the-union/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. A jeer-filled affair It’s been 14 years since a Republican member of Congress appeared to cross a threshold by yelling “You lie” at Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress. Tuesday’s speech marked the continued trend toward partisan raucousness during what was once a much more staid affair. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), perhaps predictably, repeated Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) outburst from 2009 when Biden brought up Medicare and Social Security. (It’s worth noting that Biden qualified his comments about Republican support for Scott’s plan by emphasizing: “I’m not saying it’s a majority,” but he was jeered anyway. McCarthy shook his head while seated behind Biden.) Biden responded to all this by suggesting it was an important moment, with Republicans so loudly taking issue with the idea that they would target entitlements: “I’m glad to see — you know, I enjoy conversion. When Biden brought up fentanyl deaths, he was met with a response of: “It’s your fault!” Republicans also took exception to his comments about other issues, including gun control and the border. The latter instance elicited a notable response from McCarthy: While he sat stone-faced for much of the speech, the GOP outcry drew a demonstrative blink from the House speaker, who shushed his conference. McCarthy earlier Tuesday had promised no “childish” games, specifically citing then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) having ripped up a copy of Trump’s speech after the 2020 State of the Union address. And as the speech wore on, we got a sense for why, perhaps, it got so contentious. In contrast to McCarthy’s shushing, Trump on Truth Social attacked “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — party members for “jumping up and down with applause for the wrong reasons!”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many small businesses say they are unable to hire enough native-born and naturalized workers and are paying a premium for migrant workers. . .A shortage of cooks and dishwashers prompted Luis Reyes, owner of Washington, D.C., restaurant Lauriol Plaza, to distribute fliers in subway stations and at bus stops in neighborhoods with large migrant communities.)

FORTUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say that “51% of women experience racism at work.” I should write a book about what my Democrat GAO superiors did 1980-1997 to turn my Democrat subordinates against me who were minority and/or female. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, healthy, draft-avoider, non-poor, married. childless, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and/or Wheaton resident since 1978. All of my GAO subordinates were at least one of the following, and many were many, most, if not virtually all of the following: minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, liberal, Democrat, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, had parents who were recent immigrants, had significant financial, health, and/ or other problems, and/or were employees who my Democrat superiors wanted to get rid of.

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
— Job-related education and training – Alan Eck (COMMENT: I worked for GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. Extremely few of my coworkers took job-related courses like I did.

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Illinois CPA Society Accepting Scholarship Applications.” If you did not get college scholarships, why was that? Because I worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office while I attended UIC and NIU, a) my GPA was harmed, b) I was not in financial need, and c) I could not demonstrate any leadership qualities. Further, sports scholarships were out because while I could stand and walk, I could not run far at all because of a bone disease that I had.
