JOURNAL COURIER
— Some firearms owners worry state will step up action amid poor registration numbers – Ben Singson (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that immediately after the next big mass shooting in Illinois, Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk high-profile non-registrants in their counties who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/republican-lawmakers-worry-possible-seizure-18617660.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republican state lawmakers are worried the state is going to escalate action against unregistered prohibited firearms in Illinois — including seizing them — though the governor’s office denies any such plan. Assistant Republican Leader Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, R-Murrayville, said he is concerned Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration would coordinate with Illinois State Police to begin confiscation of illegal weapons, including those now banned under the Protect Illinois Communities Act. “I believe it will happen, if it has not happened already,” he said. Davidsmeyer said he also is worried the government will withhold grants from local law enforcement agencies that did not enforce the assault weapons ban. Dozens of sheriffs have stepped forward to say they will not enforce the ban, a move Pritzker has said would put their jobs at risk. “Ultimately, my concern is that … because so many sheriffs have said they will not enforce this law,” Davidsmeyer said, “that the state will try to withhold all grants from local law enforcement because they’re not doing what the powers on high tell them they have to do.” A representative for the governor’s office said the claims are “all completely false.” The concerns come after few people registered guns classified as “assault weapons” with state police by the ban’s registration deadline. About 1.2% of all Firearm Owner Identification Card holders registered their guns between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31; an additional 5,867 were in the process Jan. 1-16 of completing an affidavit, according to state police. Davidsmeyer said he believes Pritzker will “say whatever politically he needs to say” to enact stronger measures against some firearms. Politicians are “afraid of doing … partial measures” because they want to be sponsored by pro-gun control groups, he said. “Unfortunately, the reality is (Pritzker) wants those guns,” Davidsmeyer said. “That’s it. I’m not saying this to scare anybody. He doesn’t believe people should have them so, at the end of the day, he hasn’t specifically said, ‘We’re going to come to your house and take your guns.'” A representative for Illinois State Police said officers must enforce all aspects of the criminal code, “including seizing unlawfully possessed weapons.” They must operate within the bounds of the Constitution, the Fourth Amendment and the local state’s attorney, the representative said.)

THE HILL
— Democrats run the federal government. Those Democrats do everything that they can to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That means those Democrats hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Musk should know that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As my young family members hear back from colleges about admissions decisions, I recall my experience and how being accepted to Cornell quite literally changed the course of my life. The moment also reminds me how I could have missed the opportunity to attend life-changing institutions if the current college admissions policies were in place then. The decision by the United States Supreme Court to repeal race-conscious admissions looms large. Affirmative action is not merely a policy; it’s a bridge to opportunities once unattainable.)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— Legislators must act to address migrant crisis – State Sen. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport
https://www.rrstar.com/story/opinion/columns/2024/01/20/your-turn-legislators-must-act-to-address-migrant-crisis/72268455007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the last 18 months, Gov. JB Pritzker has issued consecutive 30-day disaster proclamations for the State of Illinois as it relates to the migrant crisis and the hordes of non-citizens making their way to Illinois from the U.S. southern border. These orders grant him massive power to bypass the Legislature, a co-equal branch of government, and move and spend budget dollars how he sees fit. Indeed, Governor Pritzker and I do not agree on much, but we agree that the flood of migrants into Illinois is a crisis. When these people arrive, they need shelter, food, and often healthcare. Children must be enrolled in schools, and because they are primarily non-English-speaking, they require additional resources to help them learn. These things cost money and resources that most communities cannot spare. Every tax dollar that is diverted to fund the needs of migrants is a dollar that is siphoned away from Illinois citizens who are hungry, Illinois veterans who need help, Illinois citizens living with disabilities, and lower-income Illinois citizens who rely on their state government for essential services, like food on their table and a warm house in the winter. Governor Pritzker and the Mayor of Chicago are pointing fingers at border state governors and begging President Biden for financial assistance when they should be taking some responsibility for a crisis that is mainly of their own making. Illinois has rolled out the welcome mat to migrants and illegal immigrants. When you loudly proclaim that Illinois welcomes migrants and illegal immigrants regardless of their status, you shouldn’t be too surprised when they show up. Illinois became a de-facto Sanctuary State when majority party Democrats passed Senate Bill 31 in the 100th General Assembly (2017-2018). This law, named the “Trust Act,” prohibits Illinois law enforcement personnel from coordinating with federal immigration officials to enforce immigration laws. Then, in the 101st General Assembly (2019-2020), Democrats enacted laws that provide free health insurance, first for senior illegal immigrants, then for illegal immigrants aged 55-64, and ultimately for all illegal immigrants aged 52+. During this time, they also extended college tuition grants to illegal immigrants and tweaked court system procedures so that an individual’s immigration status could not be used against them. In the 102nd General Assembly (2021-2022), Medicaid coverage for illegal immigrants was expanded, and they became eligible for certain tax credits and state utility assistance programs. Both migrants and illegal immigrants were also provided with access to public defenders for immigration cases. In the current 103rd General Assembly, Democrats created a process for them to obtain driver’s licenses and housing assistance and provided a pathway for some migrants to become sworn police officers. Is it any wonder that Illinois is a premier destination state for the undocumented? I recently sent a survey to residents of the 45th District. It was sent with no regard to political affiliation. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all received it. On the issue of support or non-support of free healthcare for illegal immigrants, as of January 1, 2024, a resounding 81.5% of all respondents said they were opposed to the State of Illinois providing free healthcare to those in this country illegally. It is time to unwind the policies that have made this state a destination for the undocumented, beginning with a full repeal of the Trust Act. Illegal immigration is just that — illegal. Law enforcement should be able to work with federal officials to enforce our immigration laws. Secondly, I recommend the elimination of free healthcare for migrants and illegal immigrants. Over 80% of the survey respondents in my district want this, so it is legislation I will be proud to carry. And lastly, we need to roll back the host of other policies mentioned above that have made Illinois a de-facto Sanctuary State and a destination for migrants and illegal immigrants. In my opinion, this is the most important issue facing lawmakers during the 2024 session, and I am willing to work with any legislator who wants to unwind bad policies and place our state back on a better path.)

Virtually all of them were female and/or minority. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/01/20/college-essays-the-affirmative-action-workaround-n606296
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In short, students can still write essays about how race has factored into their lives but it has to be specific and not based on checking a box. Within days the Washington Post had published a story about how colleges were already planning to help educate prospective students about how to get around the new limitations on considering race directly in admissions. . .This of course assumed that students weren’t already well aware that the essays were the best chance they had to make race work for them. The NY Times had already published an account from a college professor who had spent his grad school years making side money by helping students with applications. He said the students already knew how the game worked. . .Students applying for top colleges aren’t dumb. And now that the rules have changed, they are still doing their best to work the system. . .This is exactly the sort of thing that everyone predicted would happen. College essays are now a back door for putting race front and center before admissions officers. The schools haven’t given up on race-conscious admissions, they are just doing their best to find a legal workaround that will allow them to generate the same outcome. Put another way, the same incentives and disincentives are still there depending on your race you just have to be a little more explicit about it to game the system these days.)

— University of Wisconsin Law School Forcing Students To Endure Racist DEI Reeducation. “This ‘DEI training’ is a form of indoctrination and demeans law students based on their race.” (COMMENT: My critics/opponents talk and act like they agree with the University of Wisconsin Law School. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents a) are/were rich, b) bought them cars, c) paid their colleges expenses, d) got them jobs, e) etc.)
https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/01/univ-wisconsin-law-school-forcing-students-to-endure-racist-dei-reeducation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In preparation for the session, law students are asked to study a description of “racist” behaviors, including the false claim that non-discrimination is “racist” and a collection of other assertions about “whites” and “people of color” that actually are racist. It would be one thing if the law school proposed an academic debate about such matters. But no one believes for one moment that’s what this session is about. This “DEI training” is a form of indoctrination and demeans law students based on their race. WILL strongly condemns this meeting’s proposed subject matter and demands that any racially discriminatory instruction be removed. By pushing racist ideology on law students, the University is defying federal law, creating a racially hostile environment, and harming individual student dignity. . .The attachments assert a racist view of the world and propagate harmful racial stereotypes. The materials assert the following claims: Only white people can be racist. Advocating for a “colorblind” society is racist and “negates” the “experiences of people of color.” It is racist to attack affirmative action. All white people experience “privilege based on your white skin color. You benefit from this system of oppression and advantage no matter what your intentions are.” White people have a “fear of people of color and what would happen if they gained control.” White people all are infected with “whiteness,” “white guilt,” “denial,” “fear,” and “privilege.” Ridding white people of “racist conditioning” “will never happen.” “There are no exceptional white people” such that all are tainted by skin color. “All white people are the “beneficiaries of racism and white privilege.” White people should never talk about their “own story of hardship” because it “diminishes the experiences of people of color.” All white people “attempt to excuse, defend or cover up racist actions of other white people.”)

POWER LINE
— THE DEEP MEANING OF DEI – SCOTT JOHNSON
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/the-deep-meaning-of-dei.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College presidents, if they are not members of the Democratic Party, invariably come into office pledging to enlarge the diversity regime, which further cements the party–academic alliance. College faculties are overwhelmingly Democratic and progressive in their affiliations. College campuses are now a “base” of the Democratic Party. Academic administrators, of whom there are now many, are typically hired today to advance one or another aspect of the diversity regime. One will find few conservatives in faculty or administrative posts because they oppose the diversity regime, and so cannot be hired. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the DEI movement, in large part thanks to its alliance with the Democratic Party, has locked up control over America’s leading universities. The enterprise is especially influential not only because DEI is the official doctrine of the university, but also because it leans on powerful external allies in the Democratic Party. For that reason, it was shocking that a few outside critics should have been able to topple Ms. Gay while dishing out an embarrassing lesson to Harvard’s establishment. . .Ours is not the first country in which universities have fallen under control of political parties. The history of these kinds of relationships is far from benign. Nazi leaders in Germany targeted universities for control and used them to implement party policies and spread their malignant ideology. Many of these universities were among the finest in the world before the Nazis took over. Something similar happened in the Soviet Union, though there the universities were captured by Marxism–Leninism and the Communist Party. In neither country were speakers allowed to appear on university campuses to promote ideas in opposition to party dogmas. Authorities under those regimes did not appoint university heads on the basis of scholarly credentials but rather because of their loyalty to the party and its ideology. Everyone knows how those enterprises ended. Is it a good thing that American universities are controlled by the Democratic Party, and circulate its ideological dogmas? Obviously not—and for that reason universities and the diversity agenda will inevitably confront a political reckoning.)

https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2024/01/19/build-wall-heres-why-immigrants-will-still-come-us-letters/
(FROM THE LETTER: You can build a wall, you can talk tough about immigrants “poisoning” our blood, but until you start going after American businesses, and their owners, for knowingly hiring millions of workers without documentation, not much will change. I’ve know many immigrants, documented and not, and every single one of them was here to work, and every single one of them found work. Illegal immigration will drop dramatically if E-Verify is required for every employer in the country, no wall needed. The flip side of this is we will then have a massive shortage of labor, as most Americans do not want to do the farm, hotel, restaurant and roofing/construction jobs that these immigrants do so well. Rarely do I hear politicians talk about the root causes of illegal immigration: terrible conditions in the immigrants’ country of origin combined with millions of available jobs here in the United States, happily given to them by American business owners. Any serious discussion of immigration must address these issues, with significant fines and/or jail time for hiring illegally, while simultaneously developing and expanding a robust guest worker visa program to accommodate, legally, the immigrants that will do the jobs Americans simply will not do.)

— JANUARY 01, 1989 FLASHBACK: IN SNOW, IT`S A CUL-DE-SOCKED – Blair Kamin (COMMENT: I have lived on Wheaton’s high-taxed 4-home Cove Court cul-de-sac since 1984. Yesterday, I learned that because of “budget constraints,” Wheaton no longer final plows its cul-de-sacs unless individual snows are more than 2-inches deep. That means that if a cul-de-sac is hit with multiple individual snows in a row, but each of them are less than 2-inches, no final plowing is done no matter how high the snow is piled up in the middle of the cul-de-sac, along the curb, and in front of driveways. I have appealed that final plowing policy to Wheaton’s City Manager. My 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT has only a 6 1/2-inch ground clearance. Mountains of salt and hope for warm temperatures are not the answers. Per doctor’s orders, because on shoulder/arm injury, I am not supposed to shovel snow this winter.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-01-01-8902220015-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Snow and the cul-de-sac do not mix. The Plow Man had cometh, and as she looked at what he`d left behind, Drake recalled the time a plow operator scooped up neighbors` trash and unloaded it near her front lawn. ”Don`t buy a house on a cul-de-sac unless you want to put up with all that,” said the 45-year-old resident of west suburban Naperville. Last week`s heavy snow reminded thousands of people that they pay a price for living on quiet streets with privacy and gently sweeping curves that are like a snowball heaved at Chicago`s no-nonsense street grid. From Naperville, which has about 700 cul-de-sacs, to northwest suburban Schaumburg, which has about 535 of the dead-end, turn-around streets, the price is paid in destroyed sod, buried mailboxes and driveways that get clogged after there`s no place left for plows to put the snow. ”Mother Nature abhors a void,” said Steven Kaar, operations and maintenance manager for the Naperville Department of Transportation. ”Unfortunately, it`s Mr. Jones` driveway.” The reason for the mess is that the typical snow-clearing vehicle in Naperville, a small pickup truck, isn`t powerful enough to push heavy snow where operators want it to go. In fact, it takes 7 to 10 times longer to clear a cul-de-sac than a through street, according to Naperville officials. That`s bad news for suburban taxpayers, wherever they live. Cul-de-sacs are ”several times more expensive” to clear than regular streets, according to Naperville City Manager Ralph DeSantis. Heavy snow also slows Postal Service carriers. Just try reaching out of your Jeep and putting a letter in a snow-encased mailbox. ”I`ll try and deliver it (to the door),” said mailman Tom Stafford, 35, as he headed down a Naperville cul-de-sac. ”I`ve done that at least 20 times today. And I`m only about two-thirds of the way through the route.” Such are the disadvantages of streets where children can play without fear of through traffic and parents don`t have to contend with noise. Homes usually sell for a little more because of the privacy of cul-de-sacs. It also doesn`t hurt that the streets are called cul-de-sacs. To be sure, cul-de-sac is French for ”dead end.” But French adds a touch of class in the same way that English names like Devonshire give snob appeal to little subdivisions on the prairie. Yet that has not rescued the cul-de-sac from being ranked behind arterial streets, major collector streets and local side streets on the snow-clearance priority lists of suburban traffic engineers. The engineers, who make their rankings on the basis of which street handles the most traffic, regularly hear from armchair critics. ”They neglect roads like this,” said 20-year-old John Delgado, a transplanted Californian who was house-sitting on a cul-de-sac in Naperville last week. ”Out here`s where it really matters. . . . People have to be able to get out of their house to get on the main road.” Suburban officials like to deflect such criticism by pointing out that cul-de-sacs may be more manageable than Chicago`s side streets. In the city, cars often cram both sides of the side streets-and wind up covered with snow after plowing. In contrast, it`s illegal to park on the street during certain night hours in some suburbs. But some residents can`t get their cars out of the driveway after a heavy snow. That`s because plows are supposed to dump snow into ”parkways,” the city-owned strips that are wedged between the sidewalk and the curb. But the parkways are filled with mailboxes, street lights, trees and fireplugs. Those obstacles often force plows to push snow into driveways and sidewalks. ”It`s not intentional and it`s not malicious,” said Naperville`s Kaar, sounding like one who has been accused of such sins. ”Again, it`s the law of physics. . . . You come up to a void and the plow fills that void.” Another problem: Plows often go out at night and during snowstorms, when it`s difficult to see. As a result, they sometimes go over the curb and gouge sod. That some suburbs pay for replacing sod underlines the fact that cul-de-sac power is not taken lightly. Naperville, for example, has at least 17,000 residents who live on cul-de-sacs, according to Kaar. That`s more than 20 percent of the suburb`s 79,805 people. The snow-clearing problem also has forced suburbs to purchase something called the articulated end-loader-a hulking, bulldozer-like contraption that bends in the middle like large city buses. That feature allows the loader to make a complete, uninterrupted turn around cul-de-sacs. But unlike the weak pickup truck, the loader has the power-most of the time-to put snow where it should go, officials said. There`s just one problem: The end loaders cost $65,000 to $80,000 apiece- compared to $15,000 for a pickup truck. As a result, Naperville and Schaumburg have only a handful of them. The fact that end-loaders can travel at only 18 m.p.h. also brings complaints from residents who think it takes too long to clear their streets. But residents like Diane Drake aren`t leaving their cul-de-sacs-not because of an inconvenience that strikes a few times a year. ”I wouldn`t move to a regular street,” Drake said. ”This is pretty good. Until it snows.”)

— A city councilman (Josh McBroom) in an affluent Chicago suburb (Naperville) stated that he is against using taxpayer dollars to house the illegal migrants who continue to flood the Windy City area and suggested that those in his district who are pushing for the burbs to do more should sign up to house the asylum-seekers and their families in their “big homes.” – Melissa Fine (COMMENT: Constructively, McBroom is pushing to make Naperville a sanctuary city.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Zillow, the average price of a home in Naperville is more than a half-million dollars. Sprawling mansions are not uncommon. “Is he the first name on the signup list?” one user asked of McBroom. “You’re missing the point,” replied Republican Chicago talk radio host and former gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft. “It’s a polite challenge to the Chardonnay Antifa in town. Listen closely.” Others were quick to catch McBroom’s droll intent. “PLENTY of roomy homes in and around downtown Naperville,” one user enthusiastically agreed. “Hell, maybe the good natured and compassionate lefty’s can treat their migrant guests to a grilled cheese from Everdines!” “How many white liberal wine moms signed up?” one user asked. “Oh wait, none.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid Illinois confronting a persistent migrant crisis, a Naperville councilman, Josh McBroom, is proactively addressing the situation. He has proposed a plan to connect willing local residents with asylum-seekers requiring shelter. McBroom discussed the concept of compiling a list of Naperville households willing to host these newcomers at a recent city council meeting, as per the Chicago Tribune. While there seems to be a split among city officials, the proposal has garnered some backing. This has prompted staff to explore the viability of a grassroots hosting program, leveraging the city’s affluence as a refuge for those in need. “We do have a very affluent community. A lot of big homes,” McBroom highlighted the potential in Naperville for private citizens to fill the gap where government funds may fall short, according to the same Tribune report. Following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s move to relocate over 30,000 migrants to the Chicago area, including collar counties like Naperville due to logistical changes, McBroom’s initiative emerges. While still in the early stages, this plan could provide a direct means of assistance to these individuals, many of whom encounter harsh temperatures and resource shortages upon their arrival. “I’m hearing stories about little kids at train stations without coats on,” McBroom said, painting a grim picture of the migrants’ plight to the Chicago Tribune. Aligned with local initiatives, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker revealed a commitment of $17 million in state funds to assist municipalities in tackling the migrant crisis, as reported by the Daily Herald. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, granted $11 million from this fund, will distribute grants to communities displaying readiness to aid migrants with housing and food. While recognizing the intricacies of his proposal and addressing concerns regarding local schools and city management roles, McBroom maintains the necessity of the initiative in response to what he deems the “inhumane” current state of affairs. The implementation specifics of McBroom’s proposal remain unclear. The challenge extends beyond city council deliberations, encompassing logistics, legality, and ethical considerations. Nevertheless, the growing support for action in Naperville indicates that amidst the cold winds, there is a compassionate undercurrent eager to reshape the narrative for those stranded in the suburb’s embrace. McBroom shared with the Daily Herald, “My idea would be let’s find out … let’s find out who’s willing to help.”)

— Despite ‘symbolic’ objections, lawmakers clear path for assault weapon registration rules – Peter Hancock (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that immediately after the next big mass shooting in Illinois, Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk high-profile non-registrants in their counties who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/illinois-lawmakers-clear-path-assault-weapon-18615276.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the concerns raised during the discussions focused on how ISP planned to collect and store information about the items people registered, and what the agency would do with that information if the law eventually is overturned as unconstitutional. So far, the law has survived legal challenges in both state and federal courts, but the National Association for Gun Rights, which is the major plaintiff in one of the federal lawsuits, has said it plans to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court within the next several weeks. Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, who also co-chairs the committee, said Tuesday he was frustrated by the short timeframe used to adopt the new rules and by the way some issues were handled. He then offered a motion to prohibit ISP from adopting the rules, arguing that the rules do not meet a requirement in state statute that they be “simple and clear” so people and groups affected by them can understand them. That motion failed because it needed eight votes on the 12-member committee but only received six.)

— Chicago schools ask for more resources for 5K newly enrolled migrants (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will ever-increasingly flood your school district with illegals.)
https://abc7chicago.com/migrants-in-chicago-public-schools-teachers-union-2024-school-year/14334527/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXzjj04nWxI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands of migrant students are now enrolled in Chicago Public Schools, and teachers say they need more resources to help deal with the new students. Cameron Elementary School in Humboldt Park has enrolled close to 100 migrant students this year, on top of dozens who arrived last school year. “It is the most challenging thing I have ever done in my life, and I’ve been doing this in this neighborhood for 11 years,” said Gabriel Piaz, bilingual language coordinator. “I’ve never experienced anything like it.” Piaz said schools need more resources to deal with the 5,000 migrant students who are now enrolled in CPS. He joined Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates and the American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten for a roundtable at Cameron to ask for more help. “We have needs and these needs will not be met alone by the district or the city,” Davis Gates said. The CTU is asking for more bilingual teachers, 100 percent of tuition costs for current teacher to get their bilingual certificates and a migrant coordinator in each school that enrolls new arrivals. “We need people in the building whose sole purpose is working with newcomer families and making sure they get on their feet,” Piaz said. The district said it’s already spent millions of dollars for increased staffing and services. Paying for more resources will be a huge challenge and the city is tapped out. Even with more migrants arriving in the dead of winter, the Johnson administration said it cannot afford to open new shelters at this time. “What the city is telling you, the city council in particular is we don’t got it,” said Davis Gates. While Weingarten said she will continue to push the White House for more help, she suggested the city and state work together to do the same. “When mayors and governors work together on this end and go to Washington together that actually is really helpful,” she said. Davis Gates denied there is any friction between the mayor and Governor JB Pritzker. “The last thing anyone needs in this moment is a fight,” she said. The teachers union said if schools to not get additional resources for migrant students, CTU’s requests will be part of negotiations when the union’s contract is up in June.)

My critics/opponents have always stressed that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I am Republican, White, male, and Protestant, I my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors have always lived only in northeast Illinois, that they were never in any position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never discriminated against anyone. 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.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— No Biden, Trump delegates from Champaign County – TOM KACICH (COMMENT: What discourages you from helping elect candidates? For me, it is being blamed by them and by their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers for their defeats. They have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000 and what I did a) as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) as the webmaster for the Milton Township Republican Organization 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) as a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007.)

— Some speculate gun confiscation on the horizon in Illinois – Greg Bishop
https://www.cities929.com/2024/01/14/some-speculate-gun-confiscation-on-the-horizon-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some are speculating Gov. J.B. Pritzker may work to confiscate registered firearms if there’s another mass casualty event. Part of Illinois’ gun ban enacted last year includes a registry of banned items. Before the Jan. 1 deadline to register, nearly 30,000 Illinoisans registered banned firearms with the state. That’s about 1.22% of the state’s 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders. Guns Save Life Executive Director John Boch said there could be efforts on the horizon implemented to confiscate firearms that were registered following a mass casualty event. “Existing people who have dutifully followed the registration requirement of the law are given 90 days to surrender those firearms and accessories to police, or they face an additional felony charge,” Boch told The Center Square was leaked to him. While Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office denied similar assertions raised elsewhere with a comment to ABC 20, Pritzker last month did address why he approved a banned gun registry. “We wanna make sure that you know where those very, very deadly weapons are, who owns them, when and if a crime is committed with one of them,” Pritzker said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— President Biden’s ‘Top Priority’ for a second term? – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/president_bidens_top_priority_for_a_second_term.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even if you are “pro-choice,” making abortion the “top priority” is macabre at best. How about stopping the flood of illegals coming across our southern border… and the fentanyl and human trafficking that a porous border allows? After all, fentanyl alone kills 100,000+ Americans each year. How about trying to prevent or curtail foreign wars? Or attempting to reduce inflation and taxes to make life more affordable and pleasant for millions? How about addressing the unsustainable and soon-to-be devastating $34 trillion debt? Or the fact that China is bidding to take over the world? Nope. Gotta make sure everyone has unfettered access and ability to kill their babies! What a platform Democrats will have for 2024: Make unrestricted abortion the law of the land (Make Abortion Great Again!), Pack the court, Eliminate the Electoral College, Eliminate the filibuster, Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, Work towards the elimination of fossil fuels… and gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment, Provide more money for teachers’ unions, Provide more money for mainstream media outlets, Progress towards making “15-minute cities” a reality across the United States, Significantly raise taxes on ammunition so as to make it unaffordable for all but wealthy Democrat donors… thereby rendering guns—and the First Amendment—moot, Make mail-in voting a permanent fixture in every state for every election, and Lower the voting age to 16. All of this in the name of “saving our democracy,” of course.)

— Take Your Government Job and Shove It – Noel S. Williams (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and an IRS employee for almost 9 of those 30 years 1971-1980. I have been a federal retiree for more than 26 years. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used the aforesaid against me the most. They foist negative federal employee stereotypes on me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I was grossly overpaid and that my Civil Service Retirement System pension is much too generous. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/take_your_government_job_and_shove_it.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal government jobs are also growing—7,000 in December alone. Thankfully, there are some conscientious Republicans who are trying to impose some pecuniary discipline on the spendthrift Dems. Perhaps they were also guided by Ronald Reagan’s sarcastic refrain about the most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” The terrifying IRS doesn’t help much. Actually, that dreadful department can be downright detrimental to one’s disposition, especially to the conservative groups they scrutinized. In the newly-proposed 1.59 trillion spending bill, there will be a reduction to IRS funding. It’s a start, but not enough, so let’s “revise” more of those jobs out of existence. Indeed, take your IRS agent jobs and shove ‘em.)

I should write a book about that. Further, the following are ever-increasingly prioritizing DEI over their organization’s mission: America, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Republican Party, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that they discriminate against you: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)

REP. TOM MCCLINTOCK
— The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services
https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/speeches/rep-tom-mcclintock-opening-statement-impact-illegal-immigration-social-services
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How does it improve access to health care for Americans to pack our emergency rooms and maternity wards with illegals demanding free health care? How does it strengthen our social safety net to allow in five million impoverished people requiring care? How does it make our communities safer by making it all but impossible to deport criminal illegal aliens? How does it help working families by flooding the labor market with cheap, illegal labor? How does it improve our schools by packing classrooms with non-English speaking students? . . .This is not because of incompetence. This is the deliberate policy of this administration. It won’t be solved by new laws that the Senate won’t pass and the President won’t sign or enforce. It won’t be solved by spending more money to encourage and support still more illegal aliens flooding our country. It won’t be solved by swapping one leftist official for another.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— In Race to Replace George Santos, Financial Questions Re-emerge. Mazi Pilip, the Republican candidate running in New York’s Third District, drew scrutiny after her initial financial disclosure was missing required information. – Nicholas Fandos (COMMENT: Far too many candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have far too many big skeletons in their closets. You should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office if you have a big skeleton in your closet. I should write a book about the following who have/had the biggest skeletons in their closets that brought them down since 2000: past and present a) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, b) Republican elected officials in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I refused to cover up their wrongdoing.)
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The little-known candidate, Mazi Pilip, reported between $1 million and $5.2 million in assets, largely comprising her husband’s medical practice and Bitcoin investments. In an unusual disclosure, she said the couple owed and later repaid as much as $250,000 to the I.R.S. last year. But the initial financial report Ms. Pilip filed with the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday appeared to be missing other important required information, including whether the assets were owned solely by herself or her husband, Dr. Adalbert Pilip, or whether they were owned jointly. And despite making past statements that she stopped working there in 2021 when she ran for the Nassau County Legislature, Ms. Pilip reported receiving a $50,000 salary from the family medical practice in 2022 and 2023.)

— For Some Young People, a College Degree Is Not Worth the Debt. Because of high costs, some high school graduates have opted to delay, drop out of or forgo attending college altogether to avoid student debt that could hang over them for decades. – Emily Withnall (COMMENT: What motivated you the most to get a college degree? For me, it was my father who frequently decried that because he did not have one, he did not get promotions. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Consequently, in 1964, when I turned 16, I decided that I was going to earn a bachelor’s degree in business from UIC. I started taking college preparatory courses at Crete-Monee High School. I started earning and saving money to buy a new car to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC.)

Earning those degrees helped me a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and b) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981.)

— The 1833 Treaty of Chicago forced Native Americans off their land, but legal disputes continued for years. – Ron Grossman (COMMENT: What have your ancestors taken from Native Americans? My ancestors on my father’s side were farmers who immigrated from what is now Germany to Chicago in 1844. They worked in a brick factory there until they had saved enough money to homestead a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. They sold that farm in 1864 and bought 10 acres on the north side of downtown Crete. My grandfather had 1286 Wood Street built on that land in 1926. I lived in that house 1954-1972. My father lived in that house until he died in 1969. My mother lived in that house until she died in 2016. My brother lived in that house until he died in 2022. I sold that house in 2022. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have aways used the aforesaid against me.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/history/ct-vintage-indian-treaty-1914-chicago-20240114-fgoohs7dcbajbpi3muxq24mpqu-story.html
(COMMENT: In June 1905, the Tribune recalled that some 70 years earlier, diplomacy had been a thriving industry on Lake Michigan’s shore, far removed from its accustomed focal point in the nation’s capital. “In the days of Chicago’s youth, treaties were negotiated here. Representatives of the United States and of the Potawatomi and other tribes held solemn councils here and entered into agreements by which the Indians gave up much and got little.” Collectively, those treaties stripped the Indians of their tribal lands. They proceeded apace with the westward movement of European farmers and ranchers. Indians not only lost their hunting grounds, they became foreigners in someone else’s country. Until 1924, Indians weren’t American citizens.)
— Racial equity activist must pay at least $38,000 after judge dismisses her lawsuit alleging harm from Awake Illinois leader. – Alex Hulvalchick and Pam DeFiglio (COMMENT: Have you supervised a racial equity activist? I did during all of the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. He was a younger Black CPA who always led the office’s many Black events. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to turn him against me. They stressed to him that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, and 100% German American. They stressed to him that my ancestors had been in America since 1844 but that none of them joined the Union Army. They stressed to him that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted at him that I gave him unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They shouted at him that I sabotaged his career advancement. They stressed to him that I supported the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. But they stressed the most to him that was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination. In September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired at the end of that month. I was not eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years and they made it clear that if I did not take their “offer,” my next 6 years would be a living hell. They gave my younger Black activist subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

They especially complain that for computing my pension, a) I got almost 3 years full-time CSRS credit while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 even though I worked only part-time and b) I got more than a full year CSRS credit for my unused sick leave that I had when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49.)

https://www.cities929.com/2024/01/12/report-major-disparities-among-minority-children-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report analyzed 12 indicators representing well-being milestones from cradle to career and converted them into a scale ranging from 0 to 1,000. In Illinois, Asian and Pacific Islander children have the highest index score at 837, followed by white children at 740. Black children received an index score of 341. . .The report shows that poverty levels improved between 2007–2011 and 2017–2021, but too many families still struggle to make ends meet. More than half of Black (58%), American Indian or Alaska Native (57%) and Latino (53%) kids live below the federal poverty level.)

— We Are in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government – J.B. Shurk
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/we_are_in_an_abusive_relationship_with_our_government.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: California is now covering the costs of genital-mutilating surgeries for illegal aliens. Leftism’s slippery slope invariably leads to depraved absurdity. Consider how Governor (receding) Hairdo and the Pyrite State’s other communist saboteurs have greased the shifting ground under Californians’ feet: (1) There is no illegal immigration crisis. (2) There may be a crisis, but California taxpayers won’t be paying for it. (3) Taxpayers may have to foot the bill for the illegal immigration crisis, but California will do nothing to incentivize illegal immigration. (4) After further review, these aliens aren’t “illegal,” but rather “undocumented.” (5) Health care is a human right. (6) California must provide “undocumented” aliens healthcare. (7) Mutilating the genitals to make them look like the opposite sex is health care. (8) California taxpayers must pay for “undocumented” aliens’ genital surgery. (9) Californians who object to paying for undocumented aliens’ genital surgery may be guilty of “hate” crimes and will be prosecuted. Why punish the people who illegally enter the United States when you can punish the people who do not want to subsidize immigration crimes while canceling their votes with the votes of those here illegally?)
— Claudine Gay debacle is the end result of a 1968 Xerox memo – Michael Bertolone (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, employers have been under ever-increasingly pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females, that is, to discriminate against older Whites and older men.).
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/claudine_gay_debacle_is_the_end_result_of_a_1968_xerox_memo.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The genesis of the policy that led to her hiring can be found in a 1968 memo that then-Xerox CEO Joseph C. Wilson wrote in which he directed his hiring managers to hire underqualified and outright unqualified minorities in the name of “diversity.” Using Claudine Gay’s example as a case study, we can now clearly see the dismal fruit of this well-intentioned but sadly naive policy. Xerox CEO Wilson implemented the policy in reaction to the riots sweeping the U.S. in 1968, particularly after Martin Luther King’s assassination. This reaction foreshadows corporate America’s reaction to the killing of George Floyd by the ramping up of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Wilson’s directive also included a warning that read, “The full and unqualified cooperation of all Xerox managers is expected in reaching our minority hiring goals.” He could have added “or else” to that statement. Similar hiring directives have been issued at universities and corporations over the last several decades. The only difference is that the decision-makers have gotten clever and usually don’t memorialize these policies in writing. Word of mouth is the preferred method to avoid the blowback of conservatives and the general public. But now, leftists have deluded themselves into thinking that there will be no repercussions for their out-of-touch machinations.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have you seen the polls? Most Americans are angry and shocked about our open borders. They are literally in shock that any U.S. president would allow this to happen. A huge majority defines this as an “invasion.” A huge majority also says this is a national security crisis. Here is what most Americans can see and understand: Open borders are leading to massive increases in spending: welfare, food stamps, national debt — the bankruptcy of America. And of course, a massive decline in our quality of living.)

— American Civil Rights activist reconnects with children she met during work to desegregate South (COMMENT: Have you supervised a Black activist? I did during all of the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. He was a younger Black CPA who always led the office’s many Black events. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to turn him against me. They stressed to him that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, and 100% German American. They stressed to him that my ancestors had been in America since 1844 but that none of them joined the Union Army. They stressed to him that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted at him that I gave him unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They shouted at him that I sabotaged his career advancement. They stressed to him that I supported the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. But they stressed the most to him that was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination. In September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired at the end of that month. I was not eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years and they made it clear that if I did not take their “offer,” my next 6 years would be a living hell. They gave my younger Black activist subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Pat Gill running for eighth term as Woodbury County Auditor – Caitlin Yamada (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about my critics/opponents in DuPage County who since 2000 have discouraged me the most from running for DuPage County Auditor, something that I never wanted to do. I would focus on those discouragers who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my qualifications the most. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $118,439-$150,075/year. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I became a licensed CPA. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a Forensic Accountant, Certified Financial Services Auditor, Certified Government Financial Manager, and Certified Fraud Examiner. I earned master’s degrees in finance, accounting, and business. In my role as an Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter Executive Committee member 1983-1996, I tried to recruit former DuPage County Auditor Bill Jacklin and his deputy Jim Rasins. I recruited Rasins to speak at an AGA Chicago Chapter training event. I worked hard to elect Rasins County Auditor in 2000 and 2004 and I worked hard to elect Bob Grogan County Auditor in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Grogan’s deputy was Peter Balgemann who is one of my relatives.)

HISTORY
— ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S EMBRACE OF FOREIGN-BORN FIGHTERS More than a quarter million immigrants took up arms for the United States. – HAROLD HOLZER (COMMENT: Democrat leaders have declared a Second Civil War against Republicans. Illegals are soldiers in the Democrat Army. All my ancestors were farmers who immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. My harshest critics/opponents stress that none of them enlisted in the Union Army. In my defense, I own a Civil War sword that I inherited from a relative who did enlist in the Union Army. I have it in my closet by my front door for my self-defense.)
https://www.historynet.com/immigrants-union-army-civil-war/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the earliest days of Union enlistment in New York City, anyone willing to volunteer was welcome at recruitment offices—including the foreign-born. Language barriers proved no obstacle, particularly among Germans. After all, German support had helped Abraham Lincoln win the presidency in 1860. After the fall of Fort Sumter and the call for 75,000 militia to suppress the rebellion, Lincoln wisely concluded that a war to save the Union must not be an exclusively native-born undertaking. So he launched a concerted effort to lure marquee commanders from various ethnic backgrounds, regardless of their politics (though he did resist abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ early pleas for the enlistment of free Blacks). One of Lincoln’s first such acts was to order his secretary of war to appoint “Col. Julian Allen, a Polish gentleman, naturalized,” who proposed “raising a Regiment of our citizens of his nationality, to serve in our Army.” After some initial resistance from the War Department, Allen got his commission. Army regulations at the time explicitly stated: “No volunteer will be mustered into the service who is unable to speak the English language.” That rule would simply be ignored. From the outset, the restriction hardly stemmed the early enthusiasm of the foreign-born to don the U.S. Army uniform, even if the uniforms themselves reflected more the ethnic background of the recruits than the cohesion of the supposedly united states. That spring, German-born New York Herald correspondent Henry Villard seemed “surprised”—but clearly proud—to observe freshly minted “infantry dressed in the genuine Bavarian uniform….Prussian uniforms, too; the ‘Garibaldi Guards’ in the legendary red blouses and bersaglieri [Italian infantry] hats,” as well as “‘Zouaves’ and ‘Turcoes’ [North African infantrymen], clothed as in the French army, with some fanciful American features grafted upon them.” Before long, Lincoln granted a request by Carl Schurz, the recently named U.S. minister to Spain, to abandon his post in Madrid and raise a regiment in New York. Although his initial recruitment efforts fell short, Schurz won a military commission anyway, and served in the Army of the Potomac. In 1863, however, he earned damning criticism when his men fled from a Confederate assault at Chancellorsville. Most officers subject to such castigation would have faced demotion or dismissal. But Schurz still exerted enormous influence—over the German-born community as well as Lincoln—for his tireless work in the 1860 campaign. A gifted orator, he managed to convince Lincoln to continue backing him even as he leveled injudicious criticism (privately, at least) on his commander-in-chief. Then there was the case of Franz Sigel, a 36-year-old German-born general who notched an even more dubious record in the West. From the outset of the war, however, Sigel proved a magnet for German recruitment. “I Fights Mit Sigel” became a rallying cry among German-speaking soldiers. Each time Lincoln sought to downgrade Sigel, the outcry from Germans proved overpowering. In 1864, when Lincoln briefly faced a third-party reelection challenge, many of those expressing support for the insurgency cited the president’s alleged injustices against Sigel. IRISH LEADERS, MIXED RESULTS If German Americans contributed the largest foreign-born contingent in the Federal army, Irish Americans proved a close second. Some 150,000 Irishmen took up arms for the Union.)

TIME
— The Civil War Was Won by Immigrant Soldiers – DON H. DOYLE
https://time.com/3940428/civil-war-immigrant-soldiers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why did they fight? What were they fighting for? Recruitment posters in the New York Historical Society provide hints at the answers.
One poster reads: Patrioti Italiani! Honvedek! Amis de la liberté! Deutsche Freiheits Kaempfer! (Italian patriots! Hungarians! Friends of liberty! German freedom fighters!) Then, in English, it urges “250 able-bodied men . . . Patriots of all nations” to fight for their “adopted country.” One immigrant mother gave testimony in 1863 to an antislavery convention as to why her 17-year-old son was fighting for the Union. “I am from Germany where my brothers all fought against the Government and tried to make us free, but were unsuccessful,” she said. “We foreigners know the preciousness of that great, noble gift a great deal better than you, because you never were in slavery, but we are born in it.” Following the failed Revolution of 1848, thousands of young Germans fled to America. They took up arms in what they saw as yet another battle in the revolutionary struggle against the forces of aristocracy and slavery. “It isn’t a war where two powers fight to win a piece of land,” one German enlistee wrote to his family. “Instead it’s about freedom or slavery, and you can well imagine, dear mother, I support the cause of freedom with all my might.” In another letter written to his family in Europe, a German soldier gave a pithy explanation of the war: “I don’t have the space or the time to explain all about the cause, only this much: the states that are rebelling are slave states, and they want slavery to be expanded, but the northern states are against this, and so it is civil war!”)

— Biden has forced the Texas National Guard to take control of a 2.5-mile stretch of the U.S. border with Mexico. The Texas National Guard has repeatedly denied U.S. Border Patrol agents access to the Shelby Park area in Eagle Pass, Texas.

— Chicago’s progressive mayor refuses to answer THREE times when asked if he’ll raise city’s taxes to help pay for the migrant crisis. The Windy City’s mayor made the empty comments during a sit-down with CBS 2 Thursday, where talks hovered around the looming task of setting a city budget. The discussion, however, quickly turned to his predecessors’ pledge to house arriving asylum seekers – a promise he has vowed to continue into next year. With shelters now packed – and busses arriving from states like Texas daily – Franza asked the ex-teacher who succeeded Lori Lightfoot about his response. – ALEX HAMMER

— Alejandro Mayorkas Is Finally Getting A Taste Of Accountability – JENNY BETH MARTIN (COMMENT: Charles Bowsher ran GAO 1981-1996. Bowsher escaped accountability. Because of Bowsher, GAO is just barely a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Republican-led budget cuts to shrink the agency from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000. All the GAO employees who Bowsher got rid of were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, and/or did not have a degree from an Ivy Leage university. I am all of the aforesaid. I should write a book about Bowsher. Bowsher made the following worthless: a) my three job-related master’s degrees (Loyola-business-1976, DePaul-accounting-1980, and IIT-finance-1997), b) my six job-related professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accountiong-1997), and c) my job-related professional license (accounting-1981).)

Consequently, I had to work to have money to buy cars (1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and to pay for college expenses (UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970). I should write a book about my critics/opponents whose parents had college degrees, who had lots of money, who bought their children cars, who paid for their college expenses, who got them jobs, etc.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffutsch/2024/01/13/a-manifesto-on-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei-n2633581
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Toe the line or face backlash. That, sadly, is the position in which “woke” companies, employees, universities and faculty now find themselves. It’s time to write those statements or pay a price. The statement must fall in line, too, in helping define what is acceptable within the limits of their ideological sphere. That sphere, unfortunately, is not very large. Acceptable statements must bow to how The Left wants its DEI initiatives interpreted. Look up any number of DEI statements from companies you know, and you will find much of the following: Diversity must mean diversity based on race, skin color, sexual identity, sexual preference, etc. Equity must mean equality of outcome, or something is inherently biased or oppressive. Inclusion must mean everyone is included that agrees with their ideological bent. Excluded are those holding different opinions; they are from the oppressive class, a term defined by them, of course).

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a tweet posted Friday, she claimed the pilot was a DEI hire who’d “failed multiple trainings” but been hired anyway because he or she had checked the right identity boxes. “Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was FIRED and then rehired through United’s DEI program despite being on a list to not return to United?” St. Clair wrote in her tweets. “Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training? Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added. In an additional tweet, she accused the co-pilot of also having possibly been a DEI hire. When billionaire Elon Musk noted that this puts a lot of lives at risk “if true,” Ashley responded: “Wish it wasn’t & far from the only instance.

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Does the objection to Trump on the Illinois primary ballot have a chance? What we know. – Patrick M. Keck
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/01/07/illinois-state-board-of-elections-to-decide-trumps-ballot-eligibility/72112827007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Supporters of the former president like U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, said the objection was politically-motivated with Trump as the overwhelmingly leading GOP candidate. She also is a Trump GOP convention delegate. “They know Trump will defeat Biden in a free & fair election,” Miller posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Democrats are embracing banana republic tactics by trying to jail their political opponents and throw them off the ballot.” . . . Matt Dietrich, ISBOE spokesperson, said the state election authority’s process will begin on Jan. 17 with the selection of a hearing officer who will meet with both parties to discuss their case. That officer will then report their findings with ISBOE’s general counsel, later providing a recommendation to its bipartisan, eight-member electoral board on Jan. 30. A majority vote is required for the objection to move forward. In the case of a tie, the objection is dropped. Objectors and the candidate, however, can seek judicial review, meaning any legal challenges likely would be ongoing when early voting starts on Feb. 8. The Illinois Supreme Court, holding a 5-2 Democratic majority, could be a favorable venue for the objectors.)

ORLANDO SENTINEL
— Income tax deductions you should not miss – ELLIOT RAPHAELSON (COMMENT: What tax deductions have you taken? In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me.)

— Fight breaks out among 300 NYC migrants waiting outside in the cold for shelter before MAJOR snowstorm hits the East Coast. The fight began at around 8.30am outside the re-intake center in East Village when one man tried to sneak into the large line, eyewitnesses said. He was holding a cup of coffee and spilled it on to others while trying to cut in front before he was confronted by another migrant. An argument quickly turned physical with the man allegedly punching the line-cutter who fell to the ground and others joined in. – KAMAL SALTAN

LEGACY
— OBITUARY: Gary Lee Longman
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/chicagotribune/name/gary-longman-obituary?id=54025103 (COMMENT: Gary was one of my roommates at NIU 1969-1970. When my father died suddenly in October of 1969, he outstandingly came to the wake in Crete. His summer job in 1969 was interning at KPMG while my summer job was delivering mail in Park Forest. I will forever regret a) my not majoring in accounting at NIU like Gary did, b) my not starting to take graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27, c) my not taking and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30, and d) my not becoming a licensed CPA until I was 32.)
(FROM THE OBITUARY: Gary was a graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in accounting. He was a highly driven, business- minded CPA who quickly worked his way up at KPMG, becoming a partner at just age 32. He held many esteemed positions, including partner-in-charge of the Chicago Audit Practice and leader of the Midwest-area technology practice. An accountant by trade, Gary dedicated his talents not only to his work but also to the community. He joined many business boards. He was a director of Marine Bank and “interim” President of Sunny Ridge Family Center for ten years, guiding them to success.)
