— ALL ILLINOIS PARENTS DESERVE SCHOOL CHOICE BECAUSE IT WORKS – Paul Vallas (COMMENT: Even though I was never viewed as being college material, my attending Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 put me on track to get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, earn a bachelor’s degree, earn three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license. My critics/opponents have always falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my parents could sent me to Trinity and Hope because they were filthy rich. In fact, my father never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.)

Because my Democrat GAO superiors assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators in 1990, I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Because my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business and accounting courses, I started taking graduate evening a) business courses at Loyola in 1972 and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. Further, on my first attempt, I passed the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. Further, I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Virtually none of my IRS and GAO coworkers did anything close to what I did.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly use Pense to promote more hatred against Trump.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/13/mike-pence-trump-conservative-movement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Pence became vice president by bearing witness to Donald Trump — the thrice-married, six-times bankrupt, once “very pro-choice” real estate promoter — as “a good man” who would “make a great president” for religious and conservative voters. “I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,” Pence said at his first appearance with his running mate in New York in 2016, driving home the gravity of his judgment. Eight years later, Pence is asking the conservatives who followed his lead to turn away from Trump’s policy prescriptions — becoming the most prominent exile of the former president’s inner circle to speak out in an election season. When Trump suggested he would not push for a federal limit on abortion Monday, Pence called it a “slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him.” When Trump sent mixed signals on continued Chinese ownership of the social network TikTok, Pence launched a $2 million ad campaign through a nonprofit he founded demanding a Senate vote to force a sale or shutdown of the service.)

— If you were in high school or college today, what would give you an advantage over your peers? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

— comply with all laws, rules, and regulations,
— focus on studying and getting the best grades that you can,
— know your strengths, weaknesses, and interests and choose your best career path accordingly,
— take responsibility for yourself and not blame your shortcomings on discrimination or on anything else,
— not be sexually active or an LGBTQer, and
— not drink booze, use pot, or do anything else that harms your health.

My father often decried that he was passed over for promotions because he did not have a college degree. That motived me to take college preparatory courses in high school, get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my class, earn a bachelor’s degree, earn three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license. I did the aforesaid notwithstanding the fact that I was never viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I demonstrated no leadership potential, I could not run because I had bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I would have focused more on studying and getting the best grades that I could and I would have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU, passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did, and became a licensed CPA much soon than I did.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox News host Jesse Watters blamed “the boomers” for the student debt crisis on Tuesday, claiming it was all their fault for pushing their children to go to college and creating a surplus of white-collar workers. During a discussion on The Five about the Biden administration’s newly proposed student debt forgiveness plan, Watters said, “I figured out the reason why we’re in this situation. It’s all the baby boomers’ fault.” He explained: So, in the late 1960s, they’re the biggest generation ever and the only way you could get ahead was to go to college. You wanted to be a white-collar worker. You didn’t want to have to have a job in a factory. So when all of the baby boomers had families, all of the millennial generation, they were made to go to college, whether they wanted to are not. Little Johnny, let’s be honest, probably is not the greatest academic student, but he was forced to go to college, and even if the parents, the boomers, couldn’t afford to send him to college, he was forced to take out loans to go to college so he could be a liberal arts major and get a white-collar job.)

https://cis.org/Bensman/Florida-Gateway-Data-Shows-Most-Migrant-Flights-Landing-Gov-DeSantiss-Sunshine-State
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.)

— Cost of teaching degree followed by low pay, benefits, seen as obstacles – Peter Hancock (COMMENT: In today’s dollars, my 1970 bachelor’s degree in management from NIU got me a GS-7 ($54,728) IRS Revenue Officer job in 1971 when I was 22 years old. IRS promoted me to GS-9 ($66,942) in 1972, to GS-11 ($80,994) in 1973, and GS-12 ($97,079) in 1974. My critics/opponents were furious that I got promoted so fast. In my defense, I completed four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972, four in 1973, and four in 1974. Further, I successfully completed a major developmental assignment during 1973 and 1974.)

— Democrats eager to jail Jan. 6 rioters once shielded left-wing radicals who bombed the U.S. Capitol. – Susan Ferrechio
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/29/democrats-eager-to-jail-jan-6-rioters-once-shielde/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorney General Merrick Garland, who boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of blowing up a bomb near the Senate chamber. Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges for her role in bombing the Navy Yard and Fort McNair, or plotting to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Democrats quietly helped toss her case in 2009, a move that Mr. Garland later signed off on.)

The Democrats who run the federal government also give tremendous preference to their Democrat employees who are minority, younger, veteran, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Applications for revenue-generating IRS jobs are ‘far below’ agency goals. The tax agency is facing major hurdles with its big ambitions for hiring to slash uncollected taxes. – ERIC KATZ (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat IRS superiors wasted my career and b) how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS, wasted my career, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.)
https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2024/03/applications-revenue-generating-irs-jobs-are-far-below-agency-goals/394987/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The agency has made some progress—it has eliminated barriers to posting job openings—but is still facing headwinds that are largely outside of its control. Revenue agents for those roles have “yet to be hired and onboarded,” the IG said. “External applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience,” TIGTA found. A previous IG report found that despite its new funding, revenue agent staffing had actually decreased by 8%, or more than 650 employees, between the end of fiscal 2019 and March 2023. IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. IRS officials are aware of the problem and are attempting to develop solutions. The agency has completed an enterprise-wide recruiting strategy for revenue agents and is “exploring options” to better promote related job announcements. “We are making remarkable progress in our efforts to transform the IRS and the pace of change is accelerating as we use the historic funding from the IRA,” said David Padrino, IRS’ chief transformation and strategy officer. He noted that overall, the agency has completed 45% of its fiscal 2023 milestones, while 55% were underway and just 2% had not yet been addressed. Still, some of IRS’ shortfalls may be systemic. Erin Collins, the National Taxpayer Advocate, warned in a recent report the IRS Human Capital Office “lacks the necessary resource investments,” including IT and staffing, to keep up with the agency’s new hiring demands. Citing the pay gap between federal and private sector employees, the taxpayer advocate said it would be “unreasonable to expect the IRS to consistently out-recruit the competition.” The agency has maintained expedited hiring authority, but even when using it in fiscal 2023 the average time between a job announcement and a start date was 110 days. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office found last month IRS is failing to detail its current and future needs, where skill gaps exist and its strategy for filling them. It has broad hiring plans and types of roles for which it will hire, but has not specified which workers would go toward high-income/high-wealth audits. IRS is also facing political headwinds. Congressional Republicans have decried the hiring as a “power grab,” and the agency itself has warned its workforce could be facing a “cliff” in several years when IRA funds are set to expire. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., even wrote a letter to Americans imploring them not to apply for the forthcoming jobs. Collins suggested IRS invest more in using the Pathways and Presidential Management Fellows programs to recruit employees. She also said the agency should consider contracting with recruiting firms to help it bring in candidates for higher-grade positions. Collins noted IRS has made significant gains in hiring for customer service positions—the agency completed a total of 34% more hiring actions in fiscal 2023 than the previous year—but said the outstanding problems threaten what it is trying to accomplish. “If the IRS does not make significant changes, these staffing shortages will compound and pose significant threats to federal tax administration and taxpayer rights,” the taxpayer advocate said. The challenges do not come as a surprise: Collins and former officials—including Danny Werfel, who has since once again become IRS commissioner—warned when the IRA was passed that fulfilling the agency’s staffing goals would present significant difficulties. IRS is also looking to develop flexible work options, but TIGTA found in its new report that progress in that area has been delayed. The agency is still looking to onboard a project lead in that area and is determining what is feasible based on other agency practices. The Treasury Department last month mandated that employees work from their offices at least 50% of the time. The agency is also creating a pulse survey to establish a baseline on employee morale, while officials have presented to the Transformation and Strategy Office three options for improving employee recognition and educating managers about rewards for staff.)

CITIES 92.9
— A measure that would give $1,000 in monthly guaranteed taxpayer-funded “unrestricted cash” subsidies to certain individuals in Illinois, regardless of immigration status, is being debated in the state legislature. An Illinois Senate appropriations committee Wednesday heard about Senate Bill 3462 from state Sen. Ram Villivalam, D-Chicago. He couldn’t say how much his plan would cost taxpayers. – Greg Bishop
https://www.cities929.com/2024/03/27/legislator-wants-taxpayers-to-fund-statewide-1000-monthly-guaranteed-income/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Buehler, who is the McHenry County Board chairman, couldn’t attend Wednesday’s hearing, but is listed as an opponent of the measure. He said it’s irresponsible to discuss such a program without knowing how much it will cost taxpayers. “My understanding is that you would have to be a person with a child, or caring for someone in your home or in school to be eligible for the benefits. That could be millions of people and the cost could be in the tens of billions of dollars,” Buehler told The Center Square. “And where’s the state going to come up with these funds and the only place to come up with that is to get it from the taxpayers.” Pilot guaranteed income programs in Chicago and the Metro East St. Louis areas are ongoing, costing taxpayers millions.)

How long have your ancestors been in America? From what I see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the more of the aforesaid that you are and the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more reparations that Democrats and RINOs are going to make you pay. I am all of the aforesaid and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, they have always lived in northeast Illinois, were never in a position to discriminate against anyone, and never did discriminate against anyone. In my defense, I have paid lots of reparations already and I continue to pay lots of reparations. Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI are reparations. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and DEI to give promotions that I should have gotten to my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, had less money than I did, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. They all had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had.

— Retired grandmother still owes $108,000 in student debt 40 years after taking out loan. – Mike Lowe (COMMENT: Did you take out a student loan? I did not even try because I would not have gotten one. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24. Further, I was not viewed as being college material. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I demonstrated no leadership potential because I was a part-time dishwasher during my junior and senior years in high school and a full-time dishwasher during the summer in between. So because of the aforesaid and because my parents lacked money, I worked my way through college. But because I worked too many hours, my GPA suffered. I would not have been able to graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970 if I had not worked all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and if my parents had not provided me with room and board while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I acknowledge that I would not have had to work so many hours washing dishes and delivering mail if I had not used what I earned to buy a new cars in 1966, 1967, and 1968, but I used those cars to get to/from work and classes.)
https://www.kron4.com/news/national/retired-grandmother-still-owes-108000-in-student-debt-40-years-after-taking-out-loan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1986, Nancy Peter took out a student loan to finish her psychology degree at Mundelein College in Chicago. Almost four decades later, she’s still paying it back. “The interest compounds and compounds, so every penny I don’t pay, it goes sky high,” she said. Peter took out another loan to go to graduate school at Loyola University and has worked as a therapist for nearly 40 years. But the now 71-year-old retired grandmother of two owes six-figures, more than triple the initial amount of money she borrowed. . .According to the U.S. Department of Education, 43 million Americans owe a collective $1.3 trillion in student loan debt. The average borrower owes $37,000. “This will sound terrible,” Peter said. “But I have a paper of different ways you can have your loan forgiven, and the only one I fit into was I would have to die.” Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Biden administration’s plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt.)

https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/opinion/ev-pushing-joe-biden-knows-gas-powered-cars-are-still-tops/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of Joe Biden’s notable digressions when getting deposed by special counsel Robert Hur was about driving his beloved 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible. Which wasn’t surprising — the president genuinely loves his car. And why not? It’s a thing of beauty and, for its time, was a splendid feat of engineering. A paradox of the Biden administration is that the old-school car enthusiast is — in the name of the future and saving the planet — waging a war on the internal-combustion-engine cars that he so admires and that have helped define American life over the last 100 years. The internal-combustion-engine automobile ranks as one of the modern world’s most transformative innovations. Prior to the advent of trains, travel by land was an absolute misery, even for the wealthy and privileged. Then the car, in effect, took the train and put it in the hands of individuals. It was a revolutionary leap ahead for personal freedom and mobility. It changed where we live (catalyzing the growth of the suburbs) and how we work (making it easier to commute). It obviously made it possible to go more places and gave rise to new types of business catering to a newly footloose population, including motels and fast-food restaurants. It knit the country together via a road network that facilitated untold economic activity and created the auto-manufacturing industry, as well as industries providing parts and fuel for cars. To an unusual extent, people feel bonded to their cars. There are car enthusiasts but not enthusiasts for other 20th-century implements that changed our way of life. No one speaks wistfully of the refrigerator they owned 40 years ago or reads fan magazines devoted to plumbing. Even for consumers who aren’t car devotees, what to buy is an intensely personal decision; this is why there is a dizzying array of brands offering an immense range of choices. The Biden administration’s push to get people into electric vehicles is running directly into the chief advantage of internal-combustion-engine cars, which is the sheer convenience. People don’t really have “range anxiety,” the fear their electric vehicle will run out of its charge. Electric cars have acquired more range now, and most people aren’t driving 300 miles in a single trip, regardless. No, it’s the time it takes to charge an electric car compared with the ease of a trip to the gas station that is the issue. Gas stations already exist (about 145,000 of them with a million gas pumps), and no one had to subsidize their creation. They are convenient and cost-effective and make economic sense. Making charging stations available on a comparable scale will present formidable obstacles. As Mark Mills of the National Center for Energy Analytics points out in a paper on electric cars, transporting the large amounts of energy at the necessary scale using electric energy via wires and transformers is much more expensive than doing it with oil via pipelines and tanks. Installing the superchargers necessary to make charging somewhat rapid — but still slower than gassing up — will require “a grid power demand comparable to a small town or steel mill.” This isn’t to say electric cars aren’t attractive to some consumers, especially those with their own garages for overnight charging and the resources to spend on a fun, interesting second or third car. Tesla has made major inroads in the upscale category. Good for it. More choice is better. An all-electric-car future is very far off, though, and internal-combustion-engine automobiles aren’t embarrassing artifacts of the past. Their cost, convenience, reliability, and size — more than half of automobiles sold in America are SUVs — make them hugely appealing. They are also getting constant upgrades. According to Mills, since 1975, “the average automobile today has 100 more horsepower, weighs 1,000 pounds more, and has doubled in fuel efficiency.” Joe Biden’s Corvette is now an antique, but the basic technology is as important, and incredibly user-friendly, as ever.)

— ‘Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,’ NBCUniversal News Group chairman announces. – ALEX NITZBERG (COMMENT: What opposition have you had to face? I should write a book about the tremendous opposition that I faced from my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They forced me to suffer a $22,966/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. I faced tremendous opposition mainly because I was a conservative Republican who opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, but also because I did not help GAO meet any of its Affirmative Action quotas and because I did not start my career with GAO like almost all of them did and because I transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority. They were furious when 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 in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. GAO audits IRS. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They wasted my knowledge of IRS. They did not assign me to audits of IRS for 6 years. But then, after just 3 years, they threw me off audits of IRS.)

ABC7
— More than 10K ballots left out of count: Chicago Board of Elections – Tre Ward
https://abc7chicago.com/videoClip/14566075/
— Women’s History Month: Balancing Life & Careers (COMMENT: All my Democrat superiors in the federal government were married and had children. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income. Overwhelmingly, they used that to paint themselves as being financially distressed and as needing bonuses and promotions. Overwhelming, they used that to justify their not earning job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. They hated DINKs. Extremely few of their older subordinates were DINKs. I became a DINK when I got married in 1978 when I was 29 years old. Their hatred against me increased when a) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, f) earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, g) bought a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984, h) accompanied my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, i) bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, j) etc. They took more and more and more adverse actions against me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. Further, virtually all my Democrat superiors talked and/or acted like they were anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Protestant, and/or anti-German American. Further, virtually all of my Democrat male superiors were veterans who hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I never could have done the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Will DEI End America—or America end DEI? Our future hinges on how quickly we discard DEI orthodoxy. – Victor Davis Hanson (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always used Affirmative Action to get rid of me and they continue to use DEI to get rid of me. According to them, I did not earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license because of merit, but instead because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.)
https://amgreatness.com/2024/03/25/will-dei-end-america-or-america-end-dei/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is a historic, malevolent role of states adjudicating political purity, substituting racial, sex, class, and tribal criteria for meritocracy. They define success or failure not based on actual outcomes but on the degree of orthodox zealotry. Once governments enter that realm of the surreal, the result is always an utter disaster. . .et here we are in 2024, ignoring the baleful past as the woke diversity/equity/inclusion commissars war on merit. Institutions from United Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration to the Pentagon and elite universities have been reformulated in the post-George Floyd woke hysteria. And to the delight of competitors and enemies abroad, they are now using criteria other than merit to hire, promote, evaluate, and retain. The greatest problem historically with hiring and promoting based on DEI-like dogma is that anti-meritocratic criteria mark the beginning, not the end, of eroding vital standards. If one does not qualify for a position or slot by accepted standards, then a series of further remedial interventions are needed to sustain the woke project, from providing exceptions and exemptions, changing rules and requirements, and misleading the nation that a more “diverse” math, or more “inclusive” engineering, or more “equity” in chemistry can supplant mastery of critical knowledge that transcends gender, race, or ideology. . .The SAT, designed to give the less privileged a meritocratic pathway to college admissions, is deemed racist and either discarded or warped. . .Meanwhile, we are hellbent on following their former destructive habits of using politics instead of merit to staff our universities, government, corporations, and military.)

— ‘Not living their life to impress others’: These are the top car brands that rich Americans earning more than $200K drive most — here’s why you should steer toward them too. – Jing Pan (COMMENT: I have bought many cars since I was 16 in 1964, but I ever bought any of them to impress anyone. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. My buying the aforesaid cars harmed my federal career 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 big time because my Democrat superiors and supervisors were not only anti-car, they were anti-muscle car. They held my owning the aforesaid cars against me big time even though my daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air 1971-1978, a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette 1978-1994, and a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 1996-1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a 2022 study by Experian Automotive, a lot of wealthy folks simply don’t drive fancy cars. The study found that for people with household income of more than $250,000, 61% don’t drive luxury brands. They drive Toyotas, Fords and Hondas like the rest of us. Other studies show similar results. Customer experience and market research company MaritzCX found that the Ford F-150 pickup truck was the most popular vehicle in the U.S. for people earning more than $200,000 a year. In fact, even the ultra-rich may not be splurging on exotic vehicles. Mark Zuckerberg, who co-founded Meta (formerly Facebook) and has a net worth of $49.5 billion according to Bloomberg, is frequently spotted driving a Honda Fit hatchback. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was still driving a Honda Accord well after he became a billionaire. Legendary investor Warren Buffett is frugal with cars, too. “You’ve got to understand, he keeps cars until I tell him, ‘This is getting embarrassing — time for a new car,’” his daughter said in a documentary. . .Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey points out that for those who have built their first level of wealth — he defines it as having a net worth of between $1 million and $10 million — the cars they drive are “understated” and that “the valet is seldom impressed.” “It’s usually a used Camry or a nice used Honda or a nice old pickup truck of some kind,” he said during an episode of The Ramsey Show. “People that achieve that layer of wealth, that $1 to $10 million dollars, the way they did it is, they didn’t do it for you. They’re not mad at you, but they don’t care what you think. They were not living their life to impress others.” Simply put, they’re not trying to keep up with the Joneses.)

Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income. Overwhelmingly, they used that to paint themselves as being financially distressed and as needing bonuses and promotions. Overwhelming, they used that to justify their not earning job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. They hated DINKs. Extremely few of their older subordinates were DINKs. I became a DINK when I got married in 1978 when I was 29 years old. Their hatred against me increased when a) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, f) earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, g) bought a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984, h) accompanied my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, i) bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, j) etc. They took more and more and more adverse actions against me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. Further, virtually all my Democrat superiors talked and/or acted like they were anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Protestant, and/or anti-German American. Further, virtually all of my Democrat male superiors were veterans who hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I never could have done the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240322/news/why-illinois-voters-were-no-shows-at-the-polls-tuesday/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Most of the races were completely uncontested, with just one contested county board race on the Democratic side,” said Lake County Clerk Anthony Vega. “That lack of motivation could have resulted in voters not coming out.” With that lack of choice, combined with the fact that Democratic President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump had all but secured their nominations ahead of Tuesday’s vote, low turnout was inevitable, experts said. “But I was still shocked to see returns as low as they were,” said Ryan Tolley, executive director of Change Illinois, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that advocates for ethical government and elections. “Typically voter turnout is higher in presidential elections and that doesn’t seem to be the case this year in Illinois, which that could be the divisiveness of politics or voters not having any faith in the process.” . . . Low turnout for a spring primary doesn’t necessarily translate to low turnout for the November election though. . . And when it comes to presidential election years, more than 70% of Illinois voters have cast ballots in each of the last five presidential votes, according to election records.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP Abandons Grassroots, Pays Establishment Political Consulting Firms $954K During Embarrassing 2022 Election Cycle, Disclosures Reveal (COMMENT: I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants ( https://theaapc.org/ ) since 2001. My critics/opponents rudely ended my service as a member of the AAPC Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004, a position that I had since 2001. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years 1980-1997 as an Analyst, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year. What GAO Analysts do is very similar to what consultants do.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/03/il-gop-abandons-grassroots-pays-establishment-political-consulting-firms-954k-during-embarrassing-2022-election-cycle-disclosures-reveal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party routinely claims that they do not have enough money to support individual candidates – especially the conservative grassroots candidates, but disclosures reveal that during the 2022 election cycle, the state party spent over $954,000 on three political consulting firms as Democrats dominated the election and expanded their super majority control throughout the state. Disclosures also reveal that during that same period, the state party spent over $731,000 on salaries. Records show the IL GOP sent $437,500 to Axiom Strategies, $285,196 to COR Strategies and $231,347 to Validus. But the money spent did not advance Republican causes, but rather it advanced Republican losses – as the party spent nearly one million dollars to hire the state’s best and brightest political minds and consultants. And what was the result of their efforts? As the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board pointed out in a Nov. 11, 2022 editorial, “Republicans lost every state constitutional office – governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer – and 14 of 17 congressional seats. In the General Assembly, not only did the GOP fail to gain any ground on Democrats’ supermajority, Democrats notched a record number of seats in the Illinois House. And in the Illinois Supreme Court, where Republicans had an opportunity to gain two seats…they came up short. Democrats now have a comfortable 5-2 edge in the state’s high court.” Validus partner and co-founder Nick Klitzing is the former Executive Director of the IL GOP and he served as the Deputy Campaign Manager and Special Counsel for the Bruce Rauner re-election campaign in 2017. A review of Klitzing’s personal X account reveals anti-Trump posts. The Republican political consultant also bashes former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, writing in 2020 that the mayor caused “extraordinary damage to our democracy by lying and pushing wild conspiracies on conservative media.” In other posts, Klitzing praises Never Trumper former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, writing, “So proud that @RepKinzinger represents Illinois!” Klitzing even endorses an anti-Trump, pro-choice Chicago Democrat in 2019, writing, “As a Republican in Chicago, I don’t always love my choices in city elections. But I enthusiastically voted for @AnnaValenciaIL for City Clerk. I’ve known Anna for 15+ years. She is a great leader and true public servant. She deserves your support. #VoteValencia #TeamValencia” In 2018, Valencia endorsed Democrat JB Pritzker for governor, writing, “I am proud to support JB for governor and to fight alongside him for the future of Illinois.” And in response, Pritzker noted, “I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Clerk Valencia. Anna is a strong voice for women’s rights and economic opportunity here in Chicago and across the state. As governor, I will work with leaders like Anna to protect a woman’s right to choose, support women and minority-owned small businesses, and work to close the gender pay gap. We will also fight the hateful attacks we’re seeing from the Trump and Rauner administrations.” And in 2022, Gov. JB Pritzker endorsed Valencia in her bid to become Illinois’ Secretary of State, stating that she “represents the bright future of the Democratic Party.” But Republican political consulting is a lucrative business in Illinois, regardless of one’s winning record. Last April, this publication revealed that the Richard Uihlein-funded People Who Play By The Rules PAC, in quarterly disclosures, paid three political consultants $142,000 while spending just $3,700 to support conservative school board candidates during the April elections. Sadly, the candidates lost, but the real winners were the consultants who paid themselves generously. The founder, president and treasurer of the PAC Dan Proft, a Florida resident and host of the Naples-based radio show Chicago’s Morning Answer, received the majority of the consulting fees, totaling $75,000 to Starfish Consulting LLC, while the rest went to a consulting firm owned by Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau, who was paid $26,000 through Fahrenheit Consulting Group, while $41,000 went to a consulting firm owned by Michael Koolidge (TMKS, LLC), who also serves as the PAC’s communications director and chief spokesperson. During the 2022 Illinois gubernatorial campaign, Uihlein donated $42 million to Proft’s PAC. And just weeks before the election, the Illinois political consulting class, including the PAC, were out promoting a single poll that showed Republican nominee Darren Bailey within “striking” distance and only two points behind Pritzker during the final stretch of the campaign. But on election night, the governor’s race was called at the exact moment the polls closed, with the Associated Press declaring Gov. Pritzker the winner at 7:00 pm CDT. Pritzker would defeat Bailey by 12 points – a far cry from the 2-point margin that the Republican consultants were out promoting just days before. The Illinois Republican political consulting class is busy getting ready for the 2024 election, and promising major Republican victories in a state dominated by the Democrats. But if history is any indication, the real winners will not be the local candidates – but rather, the well-paid political consultants. The next election is November 5, 2024.)

— NAACP president Derrick Johnson on his call for Black athletes to avoid Florida public universities – Ayesha Rascoe (COMMENT: To encourage Blacks to become federal employees, Johnson could use how the Democrats who run the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire early. He could stress that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office and that was exactly what they did. But Johnson could also stress that in 1971 when I was 22, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.)

https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-powerful-pitch-teamster-leaders-listen-your-members-ditch-democrats-opinion-1878581
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Union bosses are not unaware of the sea change in American politics that has been taking place in the last several years. The Democrats, once the party of the working class and zealous in defense of its interests, have long since abandoned them. Today, they represent the interests of the credentialed elites and the poor and are more interested in heeding Wall Street hedge fund managers’ pleas for trade deals that send manufacturing jobs abroad while importing more cheap labor from immigrants—whether legal or illegal—to keep the cost of doing business low. Their adherence to the woke playbook about prioritizing race over everything else has led them to think that it is fair that working class people should pay off the student loans of those with college degrees and making more money than they ever will, something that amounts to a massive regressive transfer of income from blue collar Americans to the professional laptop class.)

— Democrats and Republicans think differently about retirement. – Steve Vernon (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates saved far less of their income for retirement than my wife and I did. They spent much more of their income on immediate pleasures.

I should write a book about that.)

If I was working for them today, they would side with Humas. My having been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, my being 100% German American, my being conservative, my being Republican, my having lived in Crete 1948-1972, and my lived in Wheaton since 1978 would make things even wore for me today.)
