Neither Risvold nor Adcock — or any other officials from the chamber, Awake Americans or Awake Illinois — could be reached for comment, despite multiple requests from the Sun in recent weeks seeking more information on the issue.)

DAILY HERALD
— The mainstream media in America ever-increasingly acts as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties, that is, it promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, further diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Ever-increasingly, it glorifies and praises those who have demographics that vote for Democrats and demonizes, denigrates, and condemns those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

Because migrants work for less money, they drive wages down. If there had been as many migrants when I was young as there are today, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not, the wages that I got would have been less. With the money that I earned washing dishes part-time, I was able to buy a new car in 1966 when I was 17 years old. With the money that I earned delivering mail part-time, I was able to pay for my colleges expenses 1966-1970 and buy new cars in 1967 and 1968.)

— How Chicago area organizations help veterans navigate challenges in the job market upon return home. Mark Rivera (COMMENT: The National Law Review stresses that “Federal law does not prohibit employers from giving preference to veterans in hiring and in some cases may favor it. The Veterans Preference Act entitles preference to veterans for jobs in the federal government.” While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency shank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. But its many employees who were veterans were specifically protected from suffering any adverse impact from that.)

Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One horrific example comes from Urbana, where just 3.5 percent of Black students are grade proficient in reading and 1.1 percent of Black students are proficient in mathematics. At the same time, 7.2 percent of Hispanic students are proficient in reading and 3.9 percent are proficient in mathematics. White and Asian students in Urbana scored at a higher level, but are nothing to brag about. Far more than half the students in both groups failed to show grade proficiency in both reading and math. Just 23.8 percent of White students and 26.5 percent of Asian students achieved at grade level in reading. In math, only 21.5 percent of White students and 31.6 percent of Asian students are grade proficient.)

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

https://nypost.com/2023/11/04/opinion/mike-johnson-must-advocate-for-a-truly-color-blind-culture/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congratulations, Speaker Johnson. You were elected by your caucus to push through legislation that would benefit the American people and lift the American spirit. And you should make one of your immediate priorities the passage of a long overdue update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that enshrines colorblindness as a core American value. The problem here is simple: Race relations in the US have taken a turn for the worse. Back in 2013, 70% of Americans viewed race relations positively; today, that figure has dropped to a worrisome 42%. What happened? Have Americans truly gotten more racist Not really. The real cause of this shift in sentiment is the well-developed, educrat-enforced narrative known as critical race theory (CRT) which insists that America is an inherently racist society. Indeed, DEI, CRT and woke ideologies implant not merely awareness — but resentful awareness — against America and Americans. Point of fact: our federal government has been the leader in propagating these divisive narratives through its own hiring practices and messaging. At a time when we are living with serious challenges ranging from MS-13 gang-members to Hamas in Gaza, Joe Biden called “white supremacy” the biggest terrorist threat to our nation during a graduation speech at Howard University this past spring. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris explicitly argued for racial preferences through “equity” in every aspect of American life. Liberals would say that minority Americans have become “more aware” of systematic racism and its structures; in other words, “woke.” But awareness doesn’t necessarily result in a spate of anger and division. All signs instead point to a well-funded — and coordinated — effort to promote such division through social-justice groups such as Black Lives Matter, whose 2020 protests resulted in $1-2 billion in property damage claims. Helping #BLM along is the multi-billion DEI industry, which enriched itself from white guilt while producing little in the way of unity or even results. Congress has the power to at least put a damper to this madness via a much-needed update to one of the most important civil rights laws of our time. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly prevents the state from discriminating based on race. Read at face value, it appears to uphold a critical American principle – equal treatment for all, regardless of skin color. It is supposed to create a more unified society with greater trust and social cohesion. However, over the past 50 years, progressives have twisted the Act’s language to divisive and harmful ends. They’ve helped expand the number and scale of discrimination lawsuits, arguing that the mere existence of disparate outcomes means that discrimination must exist. This has created a bitter, litigious legal environment where everyone is able to accuse each other of racism simply for, say, not hiring enough minorities. Companies scramble to look non-racist by rushing to hire minorities — regardless of qualifications — for fear of lawsuits, harming meritocracy and stoking employee resentment. The purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should be to establish a more colorblind society where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. The Left has severely drifted from that purpose. They have opted to label color blindness as an evil, while guilt-tripping white Americans into viewing minorities as helpless victims. And this ultimately benefits no one. Worse yet, the Left regularly pushes non-discrimination to the opposite extreme – ignoring colorblindness for the sake of blatant reverse racism. For years, I fought against discrimination against Asian Americans at Harvard University – discrimination that occurred, in part, because Harvard wanted to admit members of other minority groups despite their lower grades and standardized testing scores. We took our case all the way to the Supreme Court where we prevailed early this year and ended race-based admissions at America’s elite higher learning institutions. But our work is far from done, and we still need stronger enforcement mechanisms from Congress to hold universities accountable to the Court’s decision. An update to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would do just that by explicitly stating that it cannot guarantee equal outcomes. It would need to say that discrimination of all forms is wrong, even if the race being discriminated against is white or Asian. It would drop all racial quotas and preferences from government hiring and contracting, as these quotas only serve to feed the victimhood industry. Such an act would not ignore the reality of race. Speaker Johnson, you are the de facto adoptive father of an African-American child. You said that “it’s a reality” that your African-American child faces greater obstacles than your other children. This may be true. But you also rejected the idea that “institutional racism” is the sole cause here, citing his family upbringing, and you explicitly said that “socialism is a dead end” towards solving this and other social ills. Speaker Johnson, a National Colorblindness Amendment would reject racial socialism while encouraging Americans to look at your son and every human far beyond just his skin color. At the same time, your Congress can tackle many of the core issues holding minorities back, namely the decline of the traditional family structure and failure of our education system. Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker: America needs healing — and a National Colorblindness Amendment can help that healing begin. )

— While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers and subordinates were Democrats. My Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer’ when I was 49 years old. Previously, they took many other big adverse actions against me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

October 27, 2023

Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

— White House demands action from GOP lawmakers on gun control after latest mass shooting – Chris Donaldson
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/10/27/white-house-demands-action-from-gop-lawmakers-on-gun-control-after-latest-mass-shooting-1407744/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House called for Republicans in Congress to get with the program and help to pass sweeping new anti-Second Amendment laws after another mass shooting, exploiting the tragedy to bully lawmakers at the height of public outrage. The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)

CENTER SQUARE
— Critics watchful as IRS prepares for $78 billion influx – Brett Rowland (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the following wasted my knowledge of IRS: a) my Democrat IRS superiors, b) my Democrat GAO superiors, c) Hastert, and d) my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives and candidates for those offices and their staff members. GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0acb6ea4-7408-11ee-b6d2-17c0c2c516cd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the IRS plans for a $78 billion investment that could transform the agency over the next decade, Democrats and Republicans have starkly different views about the challenges it faces going forward. The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

CHICAGO CONTRARIAN
— Stay or Go: Chicago’s Jewish Community Has a Choice to Make – BENJAMIN BLAIR
https://www.chicagocontrarian.com/blog/chicago-jewish-community-has-choice-to-make
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With rising anti-Semitism in the Windy City, does the urban equation still add up for the 85,000 Jews in Chicago? Roughly two percent of the world’s Jewish community resides in the greater Chicago area. According to a recent Brandeis study of the Chicagoland Jewish community, in 2020, there were 319,600 Jewish adults and children spread across 175,800 households in Chicago and its suburbs. Chicago’s Jewish population count was 85,000 at the time of the study. Chicago Jews are a diverse bunch. Some are observant, following as many of the 613 mitzvot (which comprise “doing good deeds” or “avoiding bad deeds”) as possible, including putting on Tefillin, observing shabbat and the holidays/festivals, and saying prayers daily. Others worship themselves, including Zen and the art of vaginoplasty. By the numbers, Chicago’s Jewish community was seven percent Orthodox (i.e., observant) in 2020 (the same as 2010). Conservative Jews, who generally believe they are fully observant with a few caveats, although the Orthodox would disagree, made up 16 percent of the population (down from 30 percent in 2010). Reform Jews (the Unitarians of the Jewish world) came in at 29 percent (down from 45 percent). Somewhat shockingly, 44 percent of the Jewish community had “no denomination” in 2020 (up from 14 percent in 2010). But the politics of Chicago’s Jewish community should surprise no one: 16 percent volunteer themselves as “extremely liberal”; 36 percent clock in as liberal; 18 percent are moderate; six percent are slightly conservative; 10 percent are conservative; and 2 percent are extremely conservative. In short: Most Chicago Jews don’t agree on much, but they tilt far to the political “left” outside the Orthodox community. In fact, many of Barack Obama’s biggest fanboys (inside baseball note: Who were generally responsible for driving his rise to fame even before his run for the White House) came from Chicago’s Jewish community – think the Pritzker family, for one.)

— $2,000 retention bonus, 20% raises part of tentative new Chicago Police deal. – Andrew Hensel (COMMENT: GAO works for Congress. I should write a book about how my Democrat GAO superiors used Republican-led budget cuts 1980-1997 to get rid of their Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they took against me to get rid of me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old a) because I was all of the aforesaid, b) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, c) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) because I had been a union member while I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for the Post Office 1966-1969.)

He died suddenly in October of 1969 when he tried to lift a heavy speaker at the Blue Note Tap in Momence. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather on my father’s side all had less money because they paid to send their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Illegal aliens are rational investors – Andrew Hodge
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/illegal_aliens_are_rational_investors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Migrants coming to the USA right now have to make a significant investment. There is a monetary investment in the form of payment given to the Mexican drug cartels to shepherd them to and across the border. Many migrants take flights from their home countries to Central or South America and then trek north. Flights costs money, which increases their investment after payments to the cartels. Often this also involves future payments earned as the result of working in this country, legally or not. These payments may be monetary or in the form of indentured labor. There are other forms of investment as well. Primary among them is human capital. Hiking from Central or South America to the U.S. border is not easy. It involves many weeks of time; many miles of walking; and risk of physical danger from snakes, terrain, and weather along the way. You have to sleep outside a lot, access to food is uncertain, and one has to negotiate the Rio Grande and the desert. We know that many are lost in transit. On top of that, there is the real risk of mistreatment by the cartels. Many, many adult and adolescent female migrants are sexually abused on their journey here. Children of both sexes are often abused as well. Once in the USA, they are often trafficked. Men and women are forced into indentured servitude by the cartels in different forms, some involving drug-dealing. The women are placed in brothels, displaying their wares on the streets of American cities. Think of the psychological and physical scars accrued by these people. That is a real cost that represents a very significant personal investment.)

— Middle East off the table in Springfield – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/10/23/whats-off-the-table-in-springfield-00122973
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RESOLUTION REPOSE: State lawmakers aren’t expected to vote on any resolutions related to the Middle East during the veto session that starts this week. Taking a position: Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon, both Democrats, are taking the view that state lawmakers should focus on state issues — not what’s happening in another part of the world. Critics, of course, say silence speaks louder than words. Behind the scenes: Welch and Harmon have privately indicated to lawmakers they won’t call any resolutions on the issue. They know that allowing a pro-Israel resolution to pop up would prompt a pro-Palestinian resolution to follow, and vice versa, which could create party chaos as Democrats are split on the issue. The logic: Harmon and Welch want to avoid a repeat of what happened in the Chicago City Council earlier this month that saw rowdy members of the public kicked out of the chambers and aldermen leaving the building in order to avoid going on the record on a resolution supporting Israel. Not to be deterred: Republican Rep. Brad Halbrook and Senate Minority Leader Tony McCombie have offered up resolutions condemning the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel. But with Democrats in charge, those measures aren’t likely to see the light of day.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge that “University of Chicago students show support for Palestinians, Israel as tensions surge on campus.” Anticipate/expect that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will ever-increasingly blame Trump for surging tensions.
https://abc7chicago.com/university-of-chicago-protest-palestinian-israel/13946161/
— Democrats ask “Why are migrants coming to Chicago?” and acknowledge that “Asylum seekers in Texas are declaring Chicago as their desired city for resettlement.” Of course, migrants want to come to Chicago because of what Chicago is known for. Liberal Democrats run Chicago. Those liberal Democrats promote a) mass/illegal immigration, b) dependency on government and charity (free stuff), c) race and gender based preference giving, d) patronage, e) political affiliation discrimination, f) reverse discrimination, g) age discrimination, h) LGBTQ, i) abortion, j) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, and k) abolition of the Second Amendment. Those liberal Democrats promote hated against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Migrants want to come to Chicago because they want what liberal Chicago Democrats promote. My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated to Chicago in 1844, but they fled to Crete in 1854. I lived in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976 and full-time 1976-1978, but only because I got promoted to a job there. When my wife and I got married in 1978, we immediately fled to prosperous, safe, religious, conservative, and Republican Wheaton.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/10/overseas_us_military_members_to_get_pay_cutagain.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes. Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state. Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal aliens, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.)

FORBES
— Democrats say “How To Use Storytelling In Your MBA Applications.” In my 1971 Loyola MBA application, I stressed that I wanted to take graduate evening business courses to maintain and improve my job skills. I had just been hired by IRS and my employee manual encouraged me to take graduate business courses. Starting in 1972, I took and deducted one graduate evening business course at a time at Loyola and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. But in 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed those 16 courses. They intentionally ignored what I had stated in my application. They argued that the courses a) did not maintain or improve my job skills, b) were not related to my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) qualified me for a new trade or business, and e) were a distraction. I appealed to Tax Court and won. My Democrat IRS superiors would not have disallowed the courses if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.
