HOT AIR — What does the public think of affirmative action? It’s hard to tell. – JOHN SEXTON (COMMENT: My critics/opponents reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they promote they promote Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who use AA and DEI to promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on those who use AA and DEI to get rid of Republicans like me who are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German America, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

CHICAGO CITY WIRE — Radio talk show host Dan Proft calls Cosley Zoo Pride Month observance in Wheaton a ‘cautionary tale’ of what happens when ‘sentimental barbarians seize control of your civic institutions’ (COMMENT: I should write a book about adverse actions that the Wheaton Park District has taken against me including stopping me since 2021 from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.) https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/644473784-radio-talk-show-host-calls-cosley-zoo-pride-month-observance-a-cautionary-tale-of-what-happens-when-sentimental-barbarians-seize-control-of-your-civic-institutions (FROM THE ARTICLE: Dan Proft, the host of The Dan Proft Show, claimed in a tweet on Sunday that the “formerly God-fearing community” of Wheaton, Illinois., is an example of a “cautionary tale” by observing Pride Month at the Cosley Zoo. “Now, another cautionary tale as to what happens when you sit idly by and let sentimental barbarians seize control of your civic institutions,” Proft wrote in the tweet. On June 15, the zoo shared a message of support for Pride Month on its Facebook page. “June is #pride month. Our animals have been enjoying some rainbow enrichment in celebration,” the post stated. “Cosley Zoo is proud to be a safe and welcoming place for families all year!” The post included photos of zoo animals with pride-themed decorative items. Former Illinois state Rep. Jeanne Ives also criticized the zoo in a tweet on June 15. “Wheaton Park District is hiding behind court cases (wrongly, as actual statutory law conflicts) to allow use of locker rooms based on gender identity,” Ives wrote in the tweet. “Essentially saying the courts made them do it. Did the courts make them turn family-friendly Cosley Zoo into a sexual preference promotion site? Utter Lunacy!” Cosley Zoo is home to farm animals and native wildlife. Visitors can explore numerous exhibits that immerse them in natural habitats for white-tailed deer, red fox, Blanding’s turtles, a coyote, and more, according to the zoo’s website. The zoo is also a center for animal education and conservation, offering programs that teach young and old how to care for the world around them and give back to the communities in which they live, work, and play, the zoo’s website states. The zoo is part of the Wheaton Park District.)

Last May, the DuPage County Board failed to adopt precinct maps in compliance with an election law signed by the governor in November 2021, instructing counties to reduce (INCREASE?) the size of their election precincts to about 1,200 voters each in response to the shift to early and voting by mail. In 2020, nearly a third of DuPage County voters cast ballots through the mail. “I will be a no vote,” board member James Zay, R-Carol-Stream, said Tuesday. “I think the state law, which ultimately gives us 20 to 30 less polling places on Election Day … will disenfranchise some voters.” Voting in DuPage County is unique. Last June the DuPage County Clerk’s Office extended its “vote anywhere” program indefinitely, allowing eligible voters to cast their ballot at any polling place in the county. “I think the word disenfranchisement is perhaps not applicable here because you are now able to go anywhere which expands your voting opportunities” county board member Mary Ozog said.) — Democrats ever-increasingly push America toward Marxism and communism. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-trump-gop-attacks-20230619-xdpy2pwkmzdcbpomk5appf4u4m-story.html — Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-editorial-healthcare-undocumented-refugees-chicago-20230620-vi4aqp6hobfa3h5drt2x6lhfim-story.html

SB 602 gives Border Patrol agents who complete certain training the powers of a Texas peace officer to arrest and conduct search and seizure at ports of entry or at Border Patrol checkpoints. SB 1133 compensates landowners up to $75,000 for damages to agricultural land caused by an individual committing a “border crime.” SB 1403 creates an interstate compact without Congressional authority to allow participating states’ law enforcement agencies to share resources and intelligence for purposes of border enforcement. SB 1484 enhances the Department of Public Safety (DPS) training for border operations by creating a training program (which includes training on cartel-related activity as well as the best tactics to address border crimes) for peace officers employed by local law enforcement agencies. SB 1900 designates drug cartels and other similar groups as “foreign terrorist organizations” (FTOs) under state law and adds them to the organized crime offenses. It adds higher penalties for criminal activity associated with FTOs and allows local entities to seek public nuisance claims against them.)
JONATHAN TURLEY — The Berkeley Files: Faculty Applicants Were Ranked on Their Support for DEI Policies and Practices (COMMENT: Constructively, ever-increasingly, under the Democrats, and under the RINOs, everyone in America is ranked on their support for DEI.

My DEI ranking is extremely low a) because I support the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, because I oppose reverse discrimination and b) because I oppose age discrimination. Those who are involved in Republican politics to get more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, and/or LGBTQ work extremely hard against me. I should write a book about them.

FORBES — Democrats say “Why More Workers Are Making Gutsy Career Moves.” GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I should write a book about my decision in 1980 when I was 31 years old to suffer a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $104,583/year) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $82,720/year), to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat IRS superiors were making it ever-increasingly clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. The GAO Chicago Office Staff manager (Bill) who arranged for my transfer assured me that under him, GAO would a) quickly promote me to GS-11 Step 10 (currently $100,084/year), b) quickly promote me back to GS-12 Step 5, and c) quickly promote me to GS 13. But immediately after I transferred, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago Office replaced Bill with a Democrat Staff Manager (Dave) who was extremely anti-Republican, if not a Republican-hater. To delay my promotions, that is, to get me, Dave used Affirmative Action and up-or-out a) to give me bad job assignments, b) to give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) to assign me to supervise the office’s most problematic employees, d) to turn all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, and e) to kept me off audits of IRS. But then, in 1986, because Dave had gone on extended sick leave, Bill was finally able to get me assigned to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13. But then, in 1987, Dave came back and a) threatened me to never apply for a promotion again and forced Bill to retire. Dave then a) threw me off audits of IRS at the end of 1988, b) gave me an extremely bad job assignment at the start of 1989, c) got my supervisor to give me extremely unfair performance expectations and appraisals, d) turned my four subordinates against me, and e) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) purposes. That forced me to seek help from my Republican Congressman Henry Hyde. Thanks to Hyde, Dave reduced his efforts to get rid of me somewhat. But Dave still succeed in a) keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP purposes, and c) forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. The aforesaid is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecastrillon/2023/06/18/why-more-workers-are-making-gutsy-career-moves/

Government and realpolitik aren’t. Nor is war. There are some very evil people on this planet, some of whom have some very big planes, ships, guns, and bombs, and they would love to thrash and destroy the United States. Any semi-intelligent, halfway-competent leader would surround himself with the best people possible, based on their wisdom, knowledge, ability, and character, not on gender, skin color, or sexual preference. And he would strive to recruit the leanest, meanest fighting machine possible that no other country would DARE to threaten for fear of getting obliterated. That is what a capable, rational, non-demented leader would do. He would construct his “team” to win, not get massacred by barbarians.)

An Old Story Is New Again. Quotas by school play better than quotas by race or ethnicity. – Merritt Widen, Brisbane, Calif. https://www.wsj.com/articles/affirmative-action-racial-preferences-quotas-race-diversity-ee0627c0 (FROM THE LETTER: In “Racial Preferences Won’t Go Easily” (op-ed, June 1), Brian Fitzpatrick points out an inconvenient truth: The other side of inclusion is exclusion. It’s simple physics: You have limited availability, you advantage somebody to include, you disadvantage someone else. Mr. Fitzpatrick writes that when Thomas Jefferson High, a magnet school in Virginia, was unable politically to use race as a factor in admissions, it started using middle schools as proxies for race. I know that story well. In the 1960s, I was honored to attend the University of Chicago High School, one of the best in the country and predominantly Jewish. The Ivy League schools, feeling that there were too many of “them” gaining admission based on merit, had strict quotas on admissions from my school. Straight-A students with stellar records didn’t get those coveted two or three open spots. Over half a century, the players and the pieces may change, but the game, sadly, remains the same.)

REPUBLIC — I should write a book about being forced to take early retirement. I have almost 26 years of experience. https://www.therepublic.com/2023/06/18/finding-your-sweet-spot-in-retirement/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: Moynes calls the first phase the “Vacation Phase.” When you first retire, every day is a vacation. You can enjoy the freedom of no longer having a set schedule. You can stay up late, sleep in, tackle your never-ending “honey-do” list or travel. Some people will stay in this phase and be perfectly content. While this phase can be refreshing and fun, after a year or two, many retirees might eventually experience boredom and a longing for routine — and start questioning whether there is more to life. Enter phase two, labeled “Feeling Loss and Feeling Lost.” Retirement can bring about significant losses in structure, identity, relationships, sense of purpose and a sense of power. It is one of the top 10 life traumas. Without a clear purpose, retirees are at a greater risk for experiencing depression, physical and mental decline, and even divorce. It can be easy to “plunge into the abyss of insignificance.” . . . Moynes calls phase three the “Rehab Phase.” It is characterized by trial and error as retirees actively seek ways to make their lives meaningful and productive again. They ask themselves how they can contribute and often go through a period of experimentation and false starts. A recent Harvard research study found that people who fared the best in retirement found ways to cultivate connections and focused on the importance of developing new sources of meaning and purpose. Finding what gives your life purpose is a process of self-reflection. Moynes outlined a process for finding your “Unique Ability.” You start by ruling out things at which you are incompetent, that you do only marginally well, or you absolutely can’t stand. Instead, you should look for activities and talents to share that you love to do and that you do really well. Your “Unique Ability” is found in the “things you love to do and do superbly.” Phase four, “Reinvent & Rewire,” is reached by those who successfully break through phase three. Once you have found your unique ability, it’s time to find your “Sweet Spot.” This is the intersection of what the world needs, what you are good at, what you love to do and what you can be rewarded for either monetarily or emotionally.)

The change is the result of a shift in state policy, preventing — for now — events like last year, when dozens of Venezuelan migrants arrived in suburbs including Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, Prospect Heights and Burr Ridge. “I have kept in touch with (state officials) and the state didn’t preclude reviving the process in the future, but are looking for more sustainable solutions to handle the numbers they are talking about,” Des Plaines Mayor Andrew Goczkowski said. “Right now those solutions seem to be focused on working with the city of Chicago to make the most of the federal dollars that were pushed in.” Des Plaines took in about 80 Venezuelan migrants last year, while Elk Grove Village became temporary home to about 90 and Prospect Heights welcomed about 200 asylum-seekers. A hotel in a part of Burr Ridge in DuPage County took in 64 asylum-seekers in what seemed to be a rare example of a transfer outside Cook County. An Illinois Department of Human Services spokesperson said by email that using suburban hotels to house asylum-seekers last fall was seen as a short-term solution, and that Chicago and the state continue to work together to support recent arrivals. He said the department allocated an additional $10 million last month to the city as part of a grant agreement to help asylum-seekers. The large group that arrived in Prospect Heights last October consisted mainly of families and included about 60 children. Prospect Heights City Administrator Joe Wade said he was impressed by how the community — particularly Wheeling Township Elementary District 21 — welcomed the new arrivals and incorporated them into existing programs. Though the impact on municipal resources was minimal, a Prospect Heights police officer took about 50 kids to a local park to play shortly after their arrival, Wade said. The Prospect Heights Park District donated soccer balls and other equipment for the children. The IDHS spokesperson said the asylum-seekers that arrived last year have since moved to independent housing across the area, and the department’s Illinois Welcoming Centers and the Immigrant Family Resource Program provide help to new arrivals.) — Democrats say “Naperville man charged with failing to turn in guns when FOID was revoked.” https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230616/naperville-man-charged-with-failing-to-turn-in-guns-when-foid-was-revoked

NEW YORK TIMES — Democrats say “How Defund the Police Failed.” During the 1990s, Republicans succeeded in defunding GAO big time.

GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. While I worked for Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Republicans had great success in defunding the agency. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious about that. They took their anger/hatred against Republicans out on me. They forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals. They assigned me to supervise the agency’s most problematic employees. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They delayed my promotions. They did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986 and they never promoted me to GS-14. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I as 49 years old. I should write a book about the aforesaid. https://americanindependent.com/republicans-defund-justice-department-fbi-trump-indictment/

AMERICAN THINKER — After the surge, ready for the shantytowns? – Monica Showalter https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/06/after_the_surge_ready_for_the_shantytowns.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Some five million foreign nationals have been let into the U.S. based on Joe Biden’s open border policies. They have to live somewhere. Many, and perhaps most, do not have U.S. sponsors. There’s no plan of action for what to do about five million migrants from the Biden administration other than to let them stay. New York City, where some 60,000 have arrived, is stretched the breaking point with the caring and feeding of that many newcomers. At some point, there is no place to put them. Housing on their own economic muscle is generally out of the question — because it’s the same for ordinary Americans. But they still have to live somewhere. And now suddenly, we’re seeing where — in the emergence of shantytowns now beginning to ring America’s major cities such as Houston, making them resemble Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Caracas, Medellin, Lima, Quito, San Pedro Sula, and other places — all of which have nice ritzy centers, housing for the rich and upper middle classes, and endless rings of shantytowns in the hillsides and valleys outside these big cities where the desperately poor live in tin-roof hovels, some precariously positioned on cliffs, with no flush toilets, no running water, no paved roads, no electricity or only pilfered electricity from power lines to power the television sets and sometimes refrigerators inside. When I first saw the shack cities (known as ranchos rather than colonias in Venezuela) I needed to lay down, almost feeling like I would faint. They were so huge and overwhelming .. and awful. I felt the same way when I saw the shack cities ringing Tijuana, utterly horrified that such human misery could be so close to the prosperity of the United States.

It isn’t that Cook County is heavily Democratic and Sangamon County is marginally Republican. The problem is that there are 102 counties in the state of Illinois, and there are only two counties where the state’s 12.6 million residents can file suit against their government.)

I blame my washing dishes in the basement of the S.S.

TOWNHALL — Democrat Squad Member Makes Ridiculous Claim About ‘Anti-Woke’ Republicans – Sarah Arnold (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that ever-increasingly, the Democrats and RINOs who govern you will talk like Bush. Anticipate/expect that ever-increasingly, they will try to stop Republicans from getting an education, from getting/keeping jobs, from owning vehicles, from owning real estate, from owning firearms and ammunition, from etc.) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/06/07/dem-squad-member-makes-bizarre-claim-about-being-anti-woke-n2624210 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrat Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) attacked “anti-woke” Republicans, accusing them of being “anti-black” people. During a House Oversight Committee hearing, the Squad member said that conservatives who fixate on blasting wokeness are actually saying, “I don’t want black people to speak up for themselves. I don’t want equality and justice for black folks.” Bush claimed that Americans should be on the side of wokeness because radical liberals are against “oppression,” whereas Republicans apparently—according to the Democrats— want more oppression. “I say to those who say, ‘Wokeness, wokeness, wokeness,’ who are anti-woke that this is not wokeness what we talked about here,” Bush added. “And you should be on the side of folks who say they are woke because we are saying no more oppression against our community.” The progressive Democrat also claimed anti-woke conservatives are fascists and white supremacists. “So whatever else is being thrown around, unless you say, ‘I’m racist. I’m white supremacist, and I’m bigoted,’ stop talking about wokeness, and you can’t tell me that I’m wrong because I’m from the very movement where this came about,” Bush continued. “Don’t let a fascist tell you what being woke means.” So, in other words, if you are against children being indoctrinated by sexually inappropriate learning materials, the transgender movement, and minors having the choice to castrate themselves before their brain is fully formed— it also means you must hate Black people. Her comments come after she signaled support to provide $14 trillion in reparations for the enslavement of African Americans and its so-called “lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people.” Bush argued that the Republican Party is targeting the Black community, adding that the GOP’s “war on woke” is rooted in “anti-Blackness.” The Democrat also claimed that conservatives who want to uphold the integrity of elections are “carrying on the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.”)
