https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/volunteer-run-migrant-shelter-in-pilsen-forced-to-close/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The unique shelter for newly arrived migrants has been operating for four nearly four months, funded entirely by donations and staffed by volunteers – with no government subsidies or staffing. Now it must shut its doors for good. “Part of that is around our volunteer capacity, part of that is around our ability to fundraise,” said volunteer Anna DiStefano. . .Insurance issues with the property, lack of funding and staff – many of whom are educators and had to go back to the classrooms with the new school year – all contributed to its closing.)

— Democrats say “Feeling the heat, without Trump.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/24/feeling-the-heat-without-trump-00112719
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois was criticized for having a low credit rating — even below Chris Christie’s New Jersey. Sen. Tim Scott attacked Illinois, California and New York for allowing late-term abortions. Crime in Chicago came up a few times, including during a discussion about lockdowns during the pandemic. And Ramaswamy twice mentioned the South Side, saying instead of funding Ukraine, the government should help the Chicago neighborhood. Ramaswamy even described himself as “a skinny kid with a funny name.” Hey, that’s Barack Obama’s line! Christie would use the line to attack Ramaswamy on Obama-era policies. Gov. JB Pritzker responded to one of the attacks this way: “Pretty sure a vast majority of voters would be just fine if abortion policy was left up to Illinois,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. A few take-aways from Illinoisans seated in the arena: Sue Rezin, the Illinois state senator, liked Ron DeSantis’ “common-sense approach” to government, saying, “it demonstrates that he’s able to comprehend and tackle the important issues that are crushing hard-working families and threatening our national security.” Ashvin Lad, an entrepreneur, was “surprised at how little” the other candidates went after DeSantis, instead focusing their attacks on Ramaswamy. (Us, too, Ashvin.) Pat Brady, the former Illinois GOP leader saw Nikki Haley as “the clear choice,” adding, “Trump lite isn’t going to carry the day.” It was a reference to Ramaswamy and DeSantis. And Jim Durkin, the former Illinois House Republican leader: “Christie said what had to be said about Trump — calling him out for saying Putin is a genius and savvy for the invasion.” It prompted boos from the crowd, a reminder that Trump is still an integral part of the GOP, whether he’s on the stage or not. . .Some Chicago Republicans gathered at the Billy Goat Inn on Madison Avenue in Chicago Wednesday night to watch the Republican presidential debate. They took a straw poll. The winner: Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent of the vote, followed by Ron DeSantis at 22.5 percent; Mike Pence at (?) percent; Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum and Chris Christie, all at 2.5 percent; and Asa Hutchinson, zip. Some of the notables in the room: Chicago Republican Chair and Ward Committeeman Steve Boulton (32nd), former mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti and Nicki Fioretti, ward committee leaders Brian Kasal (43rd), Laura Kotelman (44th), Barry Bebart (39th), Steve Graves (19th), Wayland Johnson (9th), Chris Myers (28th), Evan Kasal (25th), Chicago Young Republicans President Lenny Sklaney, Surus LLC’s Barrett Davie and Chicago GOP Executive Director Jeff Fiedler.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fast Facts Crime, China, Ukraine, fentanyl, education and more topics questioned at the first Republican debate of the 2024 presidential race. Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked from all sides with former Vice President Mike Pence calling him a “rookie,” and suggesting he was “too young” to be president. When questioned about supporting Ukraine, Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis said they would prioritize the U.S. southern border. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not raise his hand when asked if he would support Trump if he is convicted on criminal charges and becomes the Republican presidential nominee. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared to raise his hand, then later clarified that he would not support Trump as a nominee if he were convicted.)

I am especially thankful for the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him. I am especially thankful for the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and who finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me in 1986.

— Democrats crow that “Illinois lands $1.3M federal grant to promote more women in construction industry.” While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, for IRS 1971-1980, and for the Post Office 1966-1969, the agencies were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrat women, and especially Democrat women who were minority and/or younger.

NBC5
— Democrats say “Salary information coming to Illinois job postings under new law.” Federal employee salaries have always been transparent. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office offered me only $82,720/year (GS-9 Step 10) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In today’s dollars, that was a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut; my GS-12 Step 5 IRS salary was $104,583/year. GAO audits IRS. I was an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO as an Analyst. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, GAO would have offered me a promotion at least to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, to transfer. GAO did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986. Since 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates and the rest of my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid pay cut against me big time.

McGlaughlin ran Roskam’s campaign against Duckworth 2006.

According to my critics/opponents, I painted Roskam as being far more conservative than they wanted him to be painted. They cringed that I got 25 homeowners in my precinct to display signs for Roskam. Of course. my critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.

They stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and that my ACT score was only 24. My Democrat superiors in the federal government ignored, dismissed, belittled, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the job-related degrees that I earned in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997.  In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It comes as the party controls both of Indiana’s U.S. Senate seats, seven of the state’s nine congressional districts, has supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly and holds more than 90% of county-elected offices across the state. It also controls the governor’s office, and numerous Republicans are vying for the nomination to replace GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb, who cannot run again because of term limits. In 2019, 19 mayoral offices in Indiana flipped to Republicans, including in many Democratic strongholds such as Kokomo and Muncie. “The Indiana Republican Party is strong. And I believe that if we continue to deliver results that matter, Hoosiers will continue to place their trust in us and elect and reelect Republicans long into the future,” Hupfer said.)

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee Meets without Drama of No Confidence Vote Against Chairman Don Tracy – John Lopez
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/08/19/ilrscc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, August 17, Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair took place. The various festivities by the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee (SCC), the governing body for Illinois Republicans under the leadership of Chairman Don Tracy included the August meeting of the SCC, where Tracy met with the 17 Republican state central committeepersons, the governing body of the Illinois Republican Party, plus various elected and appointed Republican officials. But unlike the last SCC meeting in April, when a “no confidence” vote on Chairman Don Tracy was called for and taken in executive session, and written up in several publications including McHenry County Blog, no such action was taken at the August SCC meeting, the first time the SCC met since April. Indeed, in the run-up to Thursday’s SCC meeting, there wasn’t even talk about a no confidence vote against Chairman Tracy, given the results of last November’s general election and the results of the April 4 elections went against conservative/grassroots candidates (with the exception of McHenry County-based School District 158). So has the grassroots conservatives given up on replacing Chairman Tracy? Or was all this talk of a grassroots conservative rebellion against Chairman Tracy just that, talk with a signal boost from Illinois Review? Or is it something else? It’s definitely something else going on, and here is what I’ve been able to piece together. As was written elsewhere, SCC Chairman Tracy formed a “Grassroots Task Force” of the SCC and tapped 14th Congressional District SCC Member Larry Smith, who’s the LaSalle County Republican Party chairman to lead the Grassroots Task Force. 8th Congressional District SCC Member Dean White of St. Charles was appointed as a co-chair/vice-chair, but the leader is Smith. From mid spring to late July, grassroots activists have been meeting with Smith and White to organize this SCC Grassroots Task Force into something productive, and not be a failed “outreach” effort as so many SCC initiatives became in the past. Political consultant Mr. Val Ojeda, who also publishes a blog he launched last December called The Illinois Republican, took a leading role to help Grassroots Task Force Chairman Smith organize the SCC Grassroots Task Force, including naming its members from among the grassroots. Ojeda stressed how it was important all sections of Illinois be represented on the Grassroots Task Force, meaning members from Chicago, Chicagoland suburbs/exurbs and downstate. In a July 27 op-ed on The Illinois Republican, Ojeda published three appointments to the Illinois Republican Party’s Grassroots Task Force, the first being the Illinois Freedom Alliance, which is based out of Moline and includes activists Annette Parchert, Nancy Hayes, Jennifer Luebbers, George Weckbacher and others. So the Moline-based Illinois Freedom Alliance represents downstate. Representing the city of Chicago is Christine Shanahan McGovern (R, Mt. Greenwood), who unsuccessfully ran for the state senate last fall, losing a close race to 5-term incumbent state Senator Bill Cunningham (D, Beverly).)

Anticipate/expect that Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) will do everything that they can at the IRP State Convention next year to water down if not strike the following planks in the IRP platform: law and order, individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans should demand in the strongest terms that their IRP State Central Committee member stop the aforesaid.)

https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-rich-survey-reveals-wealth-goals
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Respondents concluded that an average net worth of $2.2 million would be considered wealthy in 2023. This is unchanged from the $2.2 million mark recorded in Schwab’s 2022 survey, but still well below the high mark of $2.6 million recorded in its pre-pandemic 2020 survey. Schwab’s latest survey also reveals that roughly half of respondents say they already feel wealthy today, despite having an average net worth of only $560,000. This total represents only a quarter of the consensus threshold of being rich in America. So, what’s going on here?)

— Why I won’t be attending my 50th high school reunion – Stephen J. Lyons (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Nevertheless, to have money for college, I washed dishes for the minimum wage during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC. And I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 to commute to/from UIC classes and my parents’ home in Crete. My father often decried his not having a college degree. Those around him discouraged him from going to college because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and doctors said the stress of seeking a college degree would harm his health.)

— Suburban mayor shuts down plan to take migrants from Chicago – Andrew Hensel
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1e00422e-3e11-11ee-84e8-b38466701f93.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city of Chicago has had conversations with suburban leaders in Cook and other counties about the possibility of moving migrants into their communities. However, some suburban leaders have voiced their concerns. Thousands of migrant families have arrived in Chicago over the past year. City officials have placed many in police stations, YMCAs and Daley College. Recently, Johnson said the city is looking for other towns to help with housing migrants. “We’ve had conversations with mayors across not just Cook County but the surrounding counties, and we have had tremendous feedback,” Johnson said Monday. “We see some real support on the horizon.” Keith Pekau, the Republican mayor of Orland Park, a Cook County suburb of more than 57,000 people, told The Center Square that he is not on board with the idea. “None of us have the resources for this. We do not have health departments. We do not have that kind of stuff,” Pekau said. “[Gov. J.B. Pritzker] has called us a sanctuary state, right? Here’s the deal, at the state level, the state has been ripping all the municipalities off by the Local Government Distributive Fund since prior to Pritzker.” Many Illinois suburbs do not have the funds to take care of the migrants, he said. “Municipalities have been getting screwed by the state of Illinois. Our residents are helping them [the state] pay for things off their own backs that they don’t even know about,” Pekau said. “Keep in mind how Pritzker attacks all the municipalities for property taxes and everything else but guess what? You are taking away money from them first.” Pekau also criticized Johnson and President Joe Biden for what he said was a violation of U.S. law. “I think, at a high level, it is very simple. Joe Biden is putting his nose in the air to our laws and is violating our laws at the border,” Pekau said. “Brandon Johnson and his city have supported this, and he and the Cook County Board want them to be a sanctuary city, and that violates our laws as well.” Just this month, Johnson said that Chicago would remain open for those that wish to come there, reaffirming the city’s stance as a “sanctuary city” or a jurisdiction with lax local enforcement of federal immigration laws. “Here’s what I am committed to doing, honoring the law of being a sanctuary city and building systems of care that provide a pathway with dignity for individuals who are seeking refuge here in the city of Chicago,” Johnson said. Around 12,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago from the southern U.S. border in the past year. So far, city and state taxpayers have set aside $94 million for migrant housing. The state budget has $550 million in taxpayer subsidies for health care of migrants over the age of 65.)

As CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reported, the parents feel that complaints from students about certain staff members are not being taken seriously.

The board responded Wednesday night with policy changes. The parents were armed with handwritten signs and their voices as they rallied outside the school board meeting Wednesday night.)

GATEWAY PUNDIT
— Illinois’ Latest Attack on Free Speech- Gov. Pritzker Signs “Anti-Doxing” Bill – Margaret Flavin (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that my critics/opponents will use this new law to sue me. My critics/opponents blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Anticipate/expect that the first lawsuits will be filed by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 a) who have lost elections and b) who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect.)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/illinois-latest-attack-free-speech-gov-pritzker-signs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker has signed the Illinois Civil Liability for Doxing Act. Under the new law, Illinoisans are now at risk, under the law, for writing or sharing in any manner…..even truthful, simple facts. WirePoints reports that the new law, “lets those who are doxed bring lawsuits for damages against the doxer, subject to certain broad, vague requirements described below.” While the definition of “Doxing” most commonly used is sharing personal information about someone on the internet that makes them vulnerable to harassment, shaming or revenge. But, while the new law uses the word doxing to garner sympathy or a concerning danger on social media, the new law has an entirely different definition in the law. WirePoints reports: The law is over-broad, going far beyond the malicious conduct normally associated with doxing. To understand, imagine doing any of the following -– things you would think surely could not expose you to liability for doxing. Then we will check through what the law says is required to make you liable, which probably will surprise you. You write on social media, “Look at Sam Smith’s Facebook page. He says he couldn’t care less about the victims of the Highland Park mass murder and that the right to own assault weapons is God-given.” You send out a group email with a copy of a pamphlet from a local Communist Party chapter showing their members’ names. You publish on the internet the names of the three Illinois lawmakers with the most extreme views on abortion along with your reasons why. You write a column that you post on the internet naming certain public school teachers you think are exceptionally bad for promoting critical race theory and gender alteration for minors, along with your reasons why.)

— Trump Indicted for Citing Data From Ph.D.-Vetted Study to Challenge Election Fraud – James Agresti (COMMENT: In 2020, how many illegals in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct used their false identifications to vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrat candidates?)
https://heartland.org/opinion/trump-indicted-for-citing-data-from-ph-d-vetted-study-to-challenge-election-fraud/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For example, the indictment accuses Trump of lying because he “said that more than 30,000 non-citizens had voted in Arizona” . . . The indictment creates the impression that Trump pulled the figure of “more than 30,000” out of thin air. In reality, it’s from a rigorously documented study that was vetted by two Ph.D. scholars, published by the research institute Just Facts, and conducted by James D. Agresti, the organization’s president and author of the present article. Reinforcing the integrity of the study, a Facebook-funded attempt by USA Today to “fact check” it fell flat. In brief, a D.C.-based grand jury indicted Trump in part for citing a factual study instead of claims from people the jury deems to be reliable. These jurors were drawn from the politically stacked jury pool of Washington, D.C. where 92% of the population voted for Joe Biden. The indictment was obtained by Jack Smith, a prosecutor who was hand-picked by the Biden administration.)

— Democrats say “Trump refusal to sign loyalty pledge puts RNC in bind.” Since 2000, for general elections, I have always helped elect those candidates on ballots in my precinct who won primary elections. But I should write a book about those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who lost general elections and who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their loses. Previously, they blamed their losses on what I did as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

BARRON’S
— Democrats say “Ivy Degrees, Legacies, and Wealth. Where Colleges Should Go From Here.” What do Ivy League degree holders think of you? I should write a book the many adverse actions that University of Chicago degree holders have taken against me.
https://www.barrons.com/articles/exploring-the-link-between-college-admissions-policies-and-social-mobility-211521a7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Although the Supreme Court ruled in June against race-based college admissions, that hardly put an end to the vigorous debate about the role that educational institutions should play in promoting social and economic mobility. On the heels of that decision, three prominent economists—Harvard University’s Raj Chetty and David J. Deming, and Brown University’s John N. Friedman—weighed in with a study that examined the determinants and consequences of admission to highly selective colleges, the eight Ivy League colleges plus the University of Chicago, Duke University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University. While less than 1% of Americans attend these schools, their graduates account disproportionately for the nation’s wealthiest citizens, scholars, and leaders, including a quarter of U.S. Senators, half of all Rhodes scholars, and three-fourths of the Supreme Court justices appointed in the past 50 years. Ivy and Ivy-plus graduates are also three times more likely to work for the nation’s most illustrious employers, Chetty, et al. found. Yet, for various reasons ranging from preferential treatment of legacies, or applicants with alumni connections, to higher-quality recommendation letters, these elite schools are dominated by students from wealthy backgrounds, rather than middle- and lower-income students with comparable standardized testing scores. The study, published by Harvard-based Opportunity Insights, sought to answer two questions: Do highly selective colleges perpetuate privilege across generations, and could these colleges diversify America’s leaders by changing their admissions policies? The answers, perhaps not surprisingly, are yes and yes.)

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/16/11-facts-about-hispanic-origin-groups-in-the-us/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2022, there were 63.7 million Hispanics living in the United States. The U.S. Hispanic population has diverse origins in Latin America and Spain. Recently, the origins of U.S. Hispanics have begun to shift as patterns of immigration from Latin America change. Notably, the number of Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. has fallen as the number of immigrants who identify as Dominican, Venezuelan, Guatemalan, Honduran, Salvadoran or with another Hispanic origin has grown. . . Eight Hispanic origin groups had at least 1 million people living in the U.S. in 2021. The five largest Hispanic populations in the U.S. by origin group were Mexicans (37.2 million), Puerto Ricans (5.8), Salvadorans (2.5), Dominicans (2.4) and Cubans (2.4). The other three origin groups with populations over 1 million were Guatemalans (1.8 million), Colombians (1.4) and Hondurans (1.1).)

Wheaton has never forgiven me for suing it for approving a grossly inadequate storm water drainage plan for the development that my home was built in. In fact, Wheaton has taken many big adverse actions against me because I sued it. I should have gotten a permanent restraining order against Wheaton.

The newsletters discourage Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party promotion of a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and g) Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. If the Illinois Republican Party, Republican county party organizations, Republican township and ward party organizations, Republican elected officials, conservative leaders and activists, and religious leaders and activists did what they should be doing, there would be no need for GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and Republicans would be the majority in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.

I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who stress that I do not have a degree in journalism, that I am not paid for what I do, and that I do not claim to be nonpartisan. They ignore/downplay/dismiss/belittle/demonize/denigrate/condemn the fact that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, and that most, if not virtually all, of what GAO Analysts do is extremely similar to what journalists and reporters do.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/04/white-house-purges-442-reporters-using-new-press-credential-rules/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday. The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas was among the reporters slated to lose his White House press credentials, although he was given a 10-day extension “to submit the required materials.” The White House now requires reporters to obtain press credentials from Congress or the Supreme Court to fulfill its new requirement; Lucas is currently awaiting a decision on his applications to the other branches. Politico’s West Wing Playbook first reported the numbers Wednesday along with news that Simon Ateba, the White House correspondent for Today News Africa, lost his hard pass. Ateba, along with the other 441 reporters who no longer have credentials, won’t be able to attend White House press briefings or access the sprawling Pennsylvania Avenue campus unless they obtain what’s called a temporary day pass. The White House announced new rules in May to limit the number of journalists who are eligible for a White House hard pass. Reporters are still allowed to apply for a day pass, but they must do so daily and undergo Secret Service review. Up until this week, the White House didn’t disclose the number of reporters who had a hard pass. Politico reported, “Within the past three months, the number of hard pass holders dropped from 1,417 to 975, with those approved reflecting a mix of renewals and new applications.” . . . The six rules outlined in the May memo require reporters to be employed full time at an organization that disseminates news, live in the Washington, D.C., area, regularly access and cover the White House, and submit to a Secret Service investigation. They also now require pass holders to first obtain “accreditation by a press gallery in either the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, or Supreme Court.” (See the full email from the White House Press Office at the end of this story.) The memo also gives President Joe Biden’s press team greater power to expel journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” Ateba regularly sparred with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, leading to stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and an appearance on the now-canceled “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Last month, the White House Press Office sent Ateba a warning that he risked expulsion if he continued to interrupt briefings in violation of the new rules.)

You’ll need to earn about $64,500 or 13% more than last year. – Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy (COMMENT: When I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, my IRS salary was $63,633 in today’s dollars. I had worked for IRS for 15 months. I had worked part-time for Firestone Stores for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. I was taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola. I drove a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1972 Corvette.)

NPR
— Democrats ask “Should there be an age limit to hold elected office?” Constructively, the federal government has the following age limits for its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran: 25 for GS-12 ($92,279/year), 30 for GS-13 ($109,732/year), 35 for GS-14 ($129,671/year), and 40 for GS-15 ($152,527/year). That is, the federal government wastes the careers of and it gets rid of its employees who Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, the federal government has used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to waste the careers of and to get rid of the aforesaid employees. I should write a book about that.

GUARDIAN
— Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly “call on Biden administration to expand work permits for asylum seekers. Homeland Security secretary urged to grant Temporary Protective Status to migrants to help alleviate strain on systems.” Illegals drive wages down. If there had been as many illegals when I was young as there are now, wages would have been lower and illegals would have gotten the jobs that I got. I would not have been able to earn enough money to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 when I was 16, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, or g) graduate debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Notice of Public Meeting RE: Iron Gate – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

High Point Investments in Aurora is petitioning for a zoning change for approximately 5 acres of land immediately west of Iron Gate Motor Plaza in northwest Naperville and immediately north of a wetland/retention area to build a facility for Sunbelt Rentals. The land was originally zoned commercial. But High Point had the land rezoned residential. But then High Point cancelled its proposed residential use of the land. Now, High Point wants the land rezoned back to commercial.

My wife and I recently received a “Notice of Public Meeting:” It is for a meeting on High Point’s rezoning petition and it is scheduled for 7PM on Tuesday, August 15, 2023 in the Naperville City Hall.

My wife and I recently sold for $235,000 our much smaller Iron Gate unit that we bought for $210,000 in December of 2020. With that $235,000 and with money that I recently inherited, we paid $565,000 for a much larger unit immediately east of the proposed Sunbelt facility. We did not learn of the proposed Sunbelt facility until after we committed to buy the unit. We now know that the proposed Sunbelt facility would substantially and adversely impact the value of our unit. It would ruin the view to the west of our unit.

Sunbelt stores outside and rents out very large construction equipment.

According to one objector, the view that the proposed Sunbelt facility would present would be “objectionable” and would “negatively impact the views of the most expensive west end garage units that Tom sold at a premium because of the great views” and “No amount of landscaping/fencing/screening can soften the views of extended boom lifts” and the proposed Sunbelt facility is “not consistent with the overall intent and cohesiveness of the entire Iron Gate concept.” He wants the land to be used for something that is “complementary and cohesive with the original plan.”

He has asked me and other unit owners to consider calling and/or emailing Naperville City Council members and/or speaking during the August 15 public meeting.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business (COMMENT: I started taking and deducting graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 when I was a 23-year-old IRS employee and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat IRS superiors ignored, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned my taking those courses. In 1974, they disallowed my travel vouchers. In 1975, they forced the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 to transfer to Texas. In 1978, they disallowed my education deductions arguing a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business and/or to get a job in the private sector, and d) that the courses were a distraction. To make the aforesaid false and disgusting arguments, they had to a) ignore the GS-7, GS-9, GS-11, and GS-12 position descriptions that they had given me, b) ignore the fact that the employee manual that they had given me in 1971 encouraged me to take the courses, and c) ignore the reasons why I took the courses that I stated in my Loyola admission application. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had not been a National Treasury Employees Union member. In 1979, the tax court sided with me and allowed all the courses.)

— Democrats crow that “Republican party organizations in some states are grappling with deep divisions.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Disgustingly, tragically, and unacceptably, ever-increasingly, since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have been ever-increasingly dominated by anti-conservatives if not conservative-haters. Most commonly, they reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Anticipate/expect that the aforesaid anti-conservatives and conservative-haters will do everything that they can to officially strike the aforesaid planks from the IRP platform at the IRP State Convention next year.

He differed from me in that he was younger than I was, he had started his career with GAO, he and his wife had children and she had little or no income, he never avoided the draft like I did, he was never a union member, he was to the left of me, he never complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, he had only one job-related master’s degree while I had two, he had not taken let alone passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination like I had done, and he had not become a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, or Forensic Accountant like I had become.

I should write a book about that. I would focus Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, and my precinct. I would focus on Republican Party leaders and elected officials who ever-increasingly since at least the 1970s a) fail/refuse to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, b) hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters, and c) get rid of conservative Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, precinct committeemen, etc.

Students for Fair Admissions is actively looking for suitable plaintiffs with which to initiate suit against the service academies so as to eradicate affirmative action there as well; this is critical because a “selfless-servant, ‘colorblind’ culture is a national security imperative that is seriously weakened by racial preferences” – James Nault (COMMENT: On September 29, 1988, when I was a 40 year old GS-13 Step 3 (currently $117,047/year) GAO Analyst, I was successfully recruited to be a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. My Democrat GAO superiors had a) recently thrown me off audits of IRS, b) forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13 in 1986, c) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1986, d) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, e) given me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, f) assigned me to supervise all their employees who had performance problems, and g) forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. All my GAO coworkers who my Democrat GAO superiors had promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, had less job-related work experience than I had, had less job-related education than I had, had fewer or no job-related professional certifications or licenses, were non-Protestant, were non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— Democrats crow that “Biden to host George Floyd’s family at White House.” How soon will BLM Democrats riot again in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? I should write a book about BLM Democrat riots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who organized and financed those riots and those who participated in those riots.

JUST THE NEWS
— Illegal immigrants in colleges soar to nearly 2% of population
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/education/sunillegal-immigrants-colleges-soars-nearly-2-population-study-finds
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vast majority of 408,000 illegal alien college students arrived in the U.S. during their formative years, either as children or teenagers and most often through former President Barack Obama’s DACA program. At least 408,000 students without legal documentation to be in the country enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, yet another system impacted by the surge in illegal immigration, according to a new study. The new report by the American Immigration Council and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education, found that undocumented migrants now account for nearly 2 percent of the higher education population. The vast majority, the authors noted, arrived in the U.S. in their formative years, either as children or teenagers and most often through former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that blocked deportation of certain foreign youth. These students, often referred to as “Dreamers,” have grown up in “American neighborhoods and attended American schools,” and now they are attending U.S. colleges, often on the American taxpayers’ dime. Recent data shows that taxpayers pay $182 billion each year to provide services and benefits to illegals and their dependents. The current total of illegal alien college students actually represents a slight decrease from 2019, when 427,000 undocumented students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. “The drop,” according to the report, “likely reflects overall enrollment decline due to the pandemic and economic pressures, as well as factors that specifically impact undocumented individuals, such as the continued legal challenges to DACA.” The authors noted the number of young people with DACA protection or who are DACA-eligible is on the decline, “from 182,000 in 2019 to 141,000 in 2021.” One of the primary reasons for this involves “the program’s lack of updates to include individuals who arrived in the U.S. after 2007, which is the specified eligibility date.” For example, if someone arrived in the U.S. at the age of 3 in 2008, they would now be of prime college age yet ineligible for DACA. Undocumented students “represent a heterogeneous population in higher education, reflecting the broad range and overall diversity of first-generation immigrants in the United States.” For example, nearly half (46 percent) of undocumented students are Hispanic; more than 1 in 4 (27 percent) are AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander); and close to 14 percent are black. Meanwhile, 10 percent of undocumented students are white. The report noted that “undocumented students in higher education are concentrated in a small number of states.” In fact, 75 percent of undocumented students reside in 12 states. The vast majority of this 75 percent hail from just four states: California, Texas, Florida and New York. The study also gives significant detail on which colleges and universities are the biggest draw for illegal aliens: more than 77 percent are enrolled in “public two- and four-year colleges and universities, with a significant proportion of these students attending community colleges,” it said. Less than one in four (23 percent) of these students are attending private colleges and universities. As for DACA-eligible students, more than 4 in 5 (80.8 percent) attend public institutions, while close to 1 in 5 (19.2 percent) of them are attending private institutions. Although the percentage of both undocumented and DACA-eligible students attending public institutions slightly decreased between 2019 and 2021, the number of those attending private institutions actually increased. Finally, although most undocumented students are actively pursuing undergraduate degrees, the report shows that “a significant portion” are completing Masters and Ph.D. programs. To be specific, “14.2 percent of all undocumented students were pursuing graduate or professional degrees in 2021, a 3.9 percentage point increase from 2019, when 10.3 percent were.” Moreover, close to 1 in 5 (19.3 percent) of “DACA-eligible students were pursuing graduate or professional degrees, a 6.5 percentage point increase since 2019.” Through his foundation, Obama recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of DACA with a roundtable of students who benefitted and urged the current administration to give such aliens – many now adults – permanent lawful status. “I hope all of you continue to be advocates in whatever your professional lives are,” Obama said last month. “I think that it is going to be a long road for us – and so the more voices like yours are out there, the better chance we have of changing people’s attitudes. Part of the reason why we feel like it’s important on this 10th anniversary to highlight it, is because it’s not done.” “Having seen the remarkable things that this group of DACA kids have done with their lives, what an asset they are to this country, I hope it inspires us to redouble our efforts to permanently resolve their status,” he said. Some Republicans, however, are pressing in a different direction. Florida Gov, Ron DeSantis, a 2024 presidential candidate, earlier this year proposed eliminating in-state college tuition for undocumented students and beneficiaries of DACA, saying it isn’t fair for taxpayers to subsidize college degrees for those illegally in the country. But the Florida legislature did not act on the proposal during the 2023 session, delaying it for at least a year. Arizona voters last November approved in-state tuition for Dreamers.)
