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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “A Jan. 6 attendee’s (Daniel Butler) election speaks to Illinois GOP’s last stand in Will County.” One could compare and contrast Will County with DuPage County. Butler represents Crete, Park Forest, and University Park. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I worked in Park Forest 1966-1969. I lived in University Park 1972-1976.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-will-county-jan-6-daniel-butler-20230805-2h7cxzbwhjg5rnkdpydne6uooi-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the Will County Board decided to send four of its members to the National Association of Counties’ legislative conference in Washington this past February, the contingent included new Republican board member Daniel Butler of Frankfort. The taxpayer-funded trip for the conference, which featured panels on federal policy headlined by a speech from President Joe Biden, wasn’t Butler’s first time to the nation’s capital. Little more than two years earlier, prior to being elected to office, Butler was in Washington attending then-President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally. Butler joined the march to the U.S. Capitol but he was not charged and he said he did not enter the building as insurgents staged a deadly insurrection in a failed attempt to stop the counting of Electoral College votes that made Biden the nation’s president. Displaying a long history on social media of propagating elaborate and widely debunked conspiracy theories — ranging from pandemic vaccines linked with computer chip technology to a QAnon-backed tale contending Italian satellites were used in 2020 to switch votes from Trump to Biden — Butler won a seat on the Will County Board on Nov. 8. Butler’s election was assisted by more than $3,300 worth of campaign mailings paid by the Illinois Republican Party, campaign records show. The Illinois GOP did not respond to a request for comment. Butler, a Republican precinct committeeman who owns a general contractor business, a martial arts studio and a cabinet distributorship, also chairs the conservative Lincoln-Way Area Freedom Coalition. He listed his campaign priorities as “freedom of speech, 2nd Amendment, Constitutionalist, Fiscal conservatism and Right to Life.” He won the second of two seats in the newly drawn 3rd County Board district with 9,623 votes, representing Frankfort, Crete, Monee, Park Forest, Steger and University Park. Even after his election, Butler expressed fears about the security of mail-in ballots being counted post-Election Day, telling a right-wing, faux newspaper publication, “I’d like to think that after they get this count done, that I won’t lose.” Butler, 58, was one of at least 57 people across the country who were involved in events at the U.S. Capitol that day and who later campaigned for elected office, according to a count by Politico.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/white-house-report-card-even-on-vacation-crushing-american-traditions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden is “outpacing every single one of his modern predecessors in vacation. Over two full terms, (Barack Obama) spent 328 days (11.2%), (George W.) Bush 43 spent 1,020 days (34.9%), (Bill) Clinton spent 345 days (11.8%), and (Ronald) Reagan spent 335 days (11.5%) on vacation. Over a single term, (Donald) Trump spent 381 days (26%), (George H.W.) Bush 41 spent 533 days (36.5%), and (Jimmy) Carter spent 79 days (5.4%) on vacation.” What’s more, after his week at the beach, he took a vacation from his vacation at his Wilmington, Del. home. But that doesn’t mean he and his team aren’t doing anything. His administration took several moves this week to hit American traditions including archery classes in schools, incandescent light bulbs and muscle cars.)

— West Point, Naval Academy may be next battleground for affirmative action fight: ‘Unfair and unconstitutional’ Students for Fair Admissions is looking into affirmative action usage at West Point and other top military academies. – Jeffrey Clark (COMMENT: My critics/opponents reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action ruling.

My taking graduate business courses helped me get promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, and 1974. My taking graduate accounting courses helped me pass on my first attempt the CPA examination on in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981.

NEW YORK TIMES
— The more illegals that there are in America, the more that wages paid for bad jobs are driven down. Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats.

They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that citizens of America ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take low paying jobs, that is, they ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. The more illegals that there are in America, the more that wages paid for bad jobs are driven down. In the 1960s and 1970s, with wages paid for bad jobs, I was able to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, e) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, f) buy a new town home in 1972, g) etc. With wages paid for bad jobs today, I would never be able to do that today.

During the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, and others used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. I should write a book about that. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I was a Republican, my avoiding the draft proved that I was a hypocrite, a coward, and even worse things. They stressed that because I avoided the draft, I was unfairly able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy an new Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger, d) buy a new Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, f) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, g) buy a buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, h) get married in 1978, i) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, j) buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevette in 1978, k) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, l) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, m) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, n) become a licensed CPA in 1981, o) etc.)

— For interim Chicago police Superintendent Fred Waller, stepping in to help new mayor pays off in salary-pension double dip – Sam Charles and John Byrne (COMMENT: Since 1966, when I was 18 years old and started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been furious that I got full-time credit toward my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension for the almost 3 years that I worked for the Post Office even though I worked only part-time. The Democrat GAO manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my GAO career and to force me into early retirement crowed that he succeeded in getting Congress to end that retirement benefit. Now, if you work part-time, your CSRS credit is prorated based on the hours that you worked. I worked only about 860 hours during those 34 months, but I got credit for working 1,380 hours.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-waller-salary-pension-20230731-j3ggrrax3jhvjgi5qgopj6nipa-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Tribune analysis found that Waller, who retired in 2020 after 34 years with the department, will be paid more than $82,000 for helming the CPD in the early months of the Johnson administration. That figure is a combination of Waller’s prorated city salary — $260,004, the same as former Superintendent David Brown’s — and his monthly pension payments of more than $12,000 that kicked in upon his original exit from CPD. Waller, Johnson’s office and the Chicago police all declined to provide comment for this story. Pension payments are 75% of the average salary during the officer’s final four years before retirement. Waller, 61, was paid $185,364 per year when he retired in August 2020, according to records from the city’s Department of Human Resources.)

— Democrats say “College-bound Chicago students receive trunks stocked with laptops, backpacks.” Gabrielle Allen puts me to shame. She worked two jobs (Pizza Hut and Harold’s Chicken) during her junior and senior years while I only worked one (S.S. Kresge). I only just barely made into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24. My critics/opponents stress that I had tremendous unfair advantages. I was White, male, and my parents had sent me to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools.

— Everything Is Bigger In Texas, Including This Sprawling Migrant Enclave
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2023/07/31/everything-bigger-texas-including-sprawling-migrant-enclave
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The largest illegal alien “colonia” in the United States is getting bigger. Located just north of Houston, the massive Colony Ridge development is home to more than 75,000 residents, nearly all of them migrants. The booming but sketchy assemblage of cheap single-family houses, mobile homes and hastily constructed shacks has been dubbed “The World’s Biggest Trailer Park.” Ten years ago, the area was mostly forested wetlands. Today it’s 10,000 acres of denuded residential lots, stretching mile after mile. The hyper-growth at Colony Ridge is stressing nearby towns, waterways and, as reported by FAIR, local schools. Conditions don’t figure to improve as the developer clear-cuts even larger swaths of woodlands to accommodate an unending wave of new arrivals. Colony Ridge’s marketing company, Terrenos Houston (website in Spanish), caters to migrants by issuing housing loans that do not require proof of citizenship. Prospective buyers simply use easily obtained Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs), with no need for a valid Social Security number in the application process.)

GOVERNING

Ever-increasingly, more and more and more leaders of the Republican Party in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township reject more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, 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). I should write a book about that. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000 because I support the aforesaid planks.

— To get more votes from student borrowers, Democrats ever-increasingly do everything that they can to write off student debt. Of course, that encourages more student debt that will be written off. How soon, if not already, will no college students work their way through college like I did 1966-1970? Granted, tuition was much less back then. But I was able to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE because I lived with my parents in Crete during my first 2 years at UIC, weekends during my first semester at NIU to keep my Park Forest Post Office job, and the summer of 1969. If tuition had been as high back then as it is now, the money that I spent on new cars (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) would have gone for tuition instead of for new cars.

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230729/targeting-sex-traffickers-authorities-focus-on-prostitution-profiteers-not-victims
— FRONT PAGE: Democrats say “Illinois Democrats end year’s first half with slightly more cash than GOP.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What motivates you to give money to Republican candidates and organizations? For me, it is their record of defending and advancing the Republican Party platform, including its individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230731/illinois-democrats-end-years-first-half-with-slightly-more-cash-than-gop-records-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party started the quarter with about $654,456 in the bank. Of that sum, about $165,140 was intended for federal uses and $489,316 was for down-ballot contests. The donations the party received over the next three months included: A total of $43,000 from Chair Don Tracy and his wife, Wanda, both of Springfield. A total of $48,000 from Dot Transportation and Dot Foods, companies owned by Don Tracy and his siblings. A total of $20,000 from billionaire real estate developer, former casino mogul and former Republican National Committee finance chair Steve Wynn and his wife, Andrea. $22,000 from Lake Forest resident and prodigious conservative donor Elizabeth Uihlein, the co-founder of the Uline shipping supply company. $199,089 from a federal Republican political action committee called Protect the House. $4,500 from Kathy Salvi. $600 from 2020 congressional candidate and former state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. The party’s expenses during the quarter included legal services, campaign consulting, robocalls, payroll and direct mail advertising. As of June 30, the GOP had $412,770 in federal funds and $557,943 in state-regulated cash, records show. It reported no debts. When asked to comment, Don Tracy said Pritzker “buys the loyalty of his party.” “We’re not funded by a billionaire figurehead,” said Tracy, who has led the state GOP since 2021. “Instead, we rely on the support of working families who want better government, less corruption and a lower tax burden.”)

My critics/opponents stress that MTRO did not rally around me a) when Wheaton rudely ended my role as Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, a role that I had since 2005, b) when DuPage County rudely jerrymandered my precinct in 2015, a precinct that I had since 2000, c) when Wheaton Chamber of Commerce rudely ended my membership in its Government Affairs Committee in 2011, a membership that I had since 2003, d) when TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois rudely ended my chairmanship in 2012, an office that I had since 2005, e) when MTRO rudely ended my service as MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) when Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) rudely ended my membership on its Steering Committee in 2007, an office I had since 2003, g) when ICRC rudely almost succeeded in censuring me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004; the vote was 69 to 13 against me, and i) when American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter rudely ended my membership on its board of directors in 2004. I should write a book about how MTRO has treated me and why. I would focus on its leaders a) who blame me and who blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, b) who blame me and blame 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, and/or c) who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on the aforesaid MTRO leaders who orchestrated the aforesaid adverse actions against me or helped orchestrate them.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Diversity initiatives, scholarship programs, and admissions standards have all been called into public question following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that struck down affirmative action. Other standards have quickly taken the place of the primarily race-based college admissions standards however, dubbed “adversity scores,” these new mechanisms rate students on a “disadvantage scale.” This scale rewards students with “disadvantaged” backgrounds with a higher score, and thus, a better shot at making the final cut. Many speculate, however, that following the Supreme Court’s effective termination of affirmative action, other race-based initiatives and incentives may be on their way out — or to court.)

— Democrats say “Chances of Trump winning the Republican nomination for the White House.” Based on the past, the more that it looks like Trump will win the nomination, the more/bigger adverse actions that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois will take against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I have run Trump’s campaign in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County since 2015. They almost succeeded in rudely stopping me from reporting on the recent DeSantis event in Elmhurst. They have rudely stopped me from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2021, a role that I had since 2005. They rudely ended my bid to be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019. They rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015. What more adverse actions will they take against me now? Based on the past, they will ramp up their efforts a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will ramp up their efforts a) to turn Republican candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in my precinct against me and b) to turn everyone else against me. Will they run someone against me for DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 Republican Precinct Committeeman? How should I respond to the aforesaid? Should I start naming names?

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. After he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, I helped support my mother and brother. My application for a financial hardship draft deferment was approved in early 1971. I lived with my mother and brother and helped support them with money that earned working for a) the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights 1970-1972 and b) for IRS 1971-1972.

Factors include family income, whether applicants come from an underserved area, whether they help support their nuclear families and whether their parents went to college.

Did any of your ancestors own slaves? None of my ancestors owned slaves. While they all immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are reparations. I should write a book about those a) whose ancestors owed slaves AND b) who made me pay the price of AA and DEI the most, that is, who made me pay the most reparations.

My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted at those who are the aforesaid that because of that and because I avoided the draft, because I was grossly overpaid by the federal government, because my wife has always had income, and because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time.

— DeSantis Hits Back at Scott Over Florida Standards – Luca Cacciatore
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/ron-desantis-tim-scott-2024/2023/07/28/id/1128911/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But DeSantis, while in rural Iowa, accused Scott of joining his fellow moderate Republicans in the upper chamber by “all too often” accepting the left’s “false narratives” and “lies.” “The way you lead is to fight back against the lies is to speak the truth,” DeSantis said. “So, I’m here defending my state of Florida against false accusations and against lies, and we’re going to continue to speak the truth.” DeSantis’ campaign has accused the media of nitpicking the standards, pointing to an earlier Advanced Placement course on African American studies rejected by the state for being too woke that had the same required course content. Florida Education Department spokesman Alex Lanfranconi said the new standards resulted from a “rigorous process” that incorporated “all components of African American History: the good, the bad and the ugly.” Florida is 1 of 12 states that requires the teaching of African American history. The others are New York, Washington, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Colorado, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Illinois. DeSantis and Scott have attempted to appeal to the same donor cohort, with the South Carolina lawmaker seeing an opening due to DeSantis’ dwindling poll numbers, Politico reported. While the Florida governor dropped from within four points of former President Donald Trump in February to nearly 37 points behind, Scott has remained at around 3% since his announcement.)

— Giant Foodservices Corporation Sued in Federal Court for Religious Discrimination and Wrongful Termination – Tom Ciesielka
https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/news/giant-foodservices-corporation-sued-in-federal-court-for-religious-discrimination-and-wrongful-termination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the largest corporations in the world is blatantly discriminating against white men—and punishing employees who dare to speak out against it. Infuriatingly, in our society today it’s become acceptable to discriminate in the workplace—as long as radical D.E.I. activists pick and choose what group of people is the “wrong” race and sex. Let me step back and explain…Courtney Rogers was an HR worker for Compass Group, USA when a new company program called “Operation Equity” was initiated. Compass falsely labeled this program a ‘diversity’ initiative, while specifically prohibiting participation by white men from its promised promotions and plentiful workplace benefits. You read that correctly… white men in Compass Group USA were not allowed to apply or participate. The program was only available to “women” and “people of color.” Even though she is not a white man herself, this blatant discrimination didn’t sit right with Courtney. She expressed her concerns and requested an accommodation, so that she would not be required to work on this new program. The initiative directly conflicted with her sincere religious beliefs holding that all people, regardless of race or gender, are created equal and should be treated fairly… just as our Constitution promises to all Americans. Courtney was assured by a manager that there would be no retaliation against her, and that she could be assigned different responsibilities……and yet within weeks, that very same manager terminated her. He had assured Courtney that she was doing excellent work, but the termination letter that Compass sent her said that she was being terminated for “unsatisfactory performance.” We’ve taken on Courtney’s lawsuit to get justice following her clearly wrongful termination and we’ll need your help in this critical battle. Compass Group has unlimited resources to fight our lawsuit. With your generous support, we must send a message to Compass Group—that they won’t get away with this discrimination.)

Several prominent families as members of the Crete Congregational Church served as conductors on the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was a network of people and places that helped protect, move, feed and shelter freedom seekers.

— As migrant kids prepare for school, some say not enough done for citizen students. – Andrew Hensel (COMMENT: How many “migrant children” have Democrats enrolled in your school district so far?)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_00fc1d22-2a72-11ee-a170-e35e9f9927a6.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, D-Naperville, told The Center Square that not only will schools see migrants from Mexico and Cuba, but the state will also see migrants from eastern European nations. Yang Rohr said the money is available. “We will be seeing Russian-speaking students and students coming from Ukraine, and so we made appropriate money for this kind of need in the last budget,” Yang-Rohr said. Some Republican lawmakers warn taxes could increase to make up for the costs surrounding the education of undocumented migrant children. “It is not the responsibility of Illinois taxpayers to foot the bill for education costs of people here illegally,” said state Rep. Chris Miller, R-Charleston. “Instead of disregarding federal law, Illinois should be following the law. The solution is to end Illinois’ sanctuary state status and help enforce our nation’s immigration laws.” State Rep. Michelle Mussman, D-Schaumburg, said that lawmakers have yet to have any official talks about the costs or how to properly integrate the students. “I don’t know if it is as formal as we would like it to be,” Mussman told The Center Square. “But I think we are all talking with as many people in the shared community space as possible about the issue of more people in the building.” Illinois State Board of Education numbers also show 7,188 unfilled teaching positions across the state, a vacancy rate of 3.5%. State Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said regardless of the costs, the state of Illinois has done a poor job supporting the families and students who are here legally. “It is amazing to me that, on the one hand, our state leaders are spending money we don’t have to educate kids whose parents are not legally supposed to be here, but they won’t extend the Invest in Kids program, which has helped so many kids escape failing schools and get the kind of education they deserve,” Halbrook said. “We are denying education opportunities for Illinois citizens while using taxpayers to make a political statement on immigration policy. It is time for our leaders to lead and put the needs of Illinois citizens first.” Even without the migrant students being enrolled, Illinois spends on average of more than $16,000 per student, far more than neighboring states.)

C-SPAN
— Adam Andrzejewski on Wasteful Government Spending (COMMENT: Who has wasted you? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. GAO is supposed to fight wasteful government spending, but my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Further, since 1997, Gingrich, Hastert, my Republican U.S. Senators, my Republican U.S. Representatives, candidates for those offices, and their staff members have wasted what I learned working for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO, especially what I learned the last 11 years of which that I worked for GAO at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. I worked on audits a) of federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997, b) of IRS 1986-1988, and c) of many other federal agencies in 1989 and 1980-1985. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on Gingrich a) because GAO works for Congress, b) because Gingrich cut GAO’s budget dramatically in the mid-1990s, c) because my Democrat GAO superiors punished me big time for that, and d) because they used his budget cuts to force me take their early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

THE HILL
— Democrats say “Republicans to be more selective in choosing Senate candidates in 2024.” The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have not selected me to be a candidate for any elected office. More than that, they have viciously discouraged me from even thinking about running for any elected office. More than that, MTRO leaders a) viciously worked against my bid to be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019 and b) viciously defeated me (69 votes to my 13 votes) when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. More than that, they ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the fact that a) 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, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) I became a licensed CPA and a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant, d) I served as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) I served on many MTRO fundraising committees, f) I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, g) I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, h) I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, i) I served as a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, j) I served as a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, k) I serve as a member of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board 2001-2004, and l) I served as a member of the Milton Township Cemetery Authority 2001-2004. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I caused all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Democrats say “Mayor Adams pushes newsroom diversity with scholarships for NYC students.” To discredit me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I do not have a degree in journalism, that I am conservative, that I am Republican, and that no one has paid me for what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. They hint/imply/argue/shout that to be a journalist, you must have a degree in journalism, you must be liberal/moderate, you must be a Democrat, and you must get paid for what you do. In my defense, 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 $109,132-$142,650/year. Much of what GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The city’s second African-American mayor, and the first in more than a generation, said the press was picking on him because he was Black. “I’m a Black man that’s the mayor, but my story is being interpreted by people who don’t look like me,” Adams said at the time, before launching a rant about newsroom diversity. The lecture didn’t go over well with editors and reporters, who wondered about the thickness of Adams’ skin. . .Adams on Friday announced a new scholarship Initiative to increase diversity in journalism that will commit at least $500,000 in one year for students of color in New York City to emulate the people they read online and in the newspapers and see on TV.)

— Democrats say “Notable Black restaurant owner gives scholarships to HBCU students.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always stressed that I never got any scholarships. They stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT score was only 24. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree and three graduate degrees. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA.

FORBES
— A Democrat says “Reverse Discrimination Against White Job Applicants And Employees” and asks “Or Is It Racial Equity?” To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and/or citizens of foreign countries is to discriminate against those who are White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, and/or citizens of America. I should write a book about that.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Liberal Suburbs Have Their Own Border Wall. Residents of rich blue towns talk about inclusion, but their laws do the opposite.” As more and more and more Democrats move in, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton get more and more and more liberal. As someone who has lived in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978, I should write a book about that.
