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

REAL CLEAR EDUCATION
— Here’s How to Help First Generation Students – Scott Feller (COMMENT: I was a first generation student. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. Consequently, I had to work to have money to buy cars (1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) and to pay for college expenses (UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970). I should write a book about my critics/opponents whose parents had college degrees, who had lots of money, who bought their children cars, who paid for their college expenses, who got them jobs, etc.)

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

Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. Consequently, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Nevertheless, I a) took college preparatory courses in high school, b) got an ACT score of 24, c) graduated in the upper 20% of my class, d) got accepted by UIC, e) worked my way through college, and f) graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

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

They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me.)

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

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

Sooner or later, Chicago Democrat leaders will send their illegals to your county, township, municipality, and school district. Those illegals want/need/demand massive government assistance. Are you ready to pay for providing them with housing, food, clothing, health care, transportation, education, etc.?

All the money to pay for my bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 came from what I earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kaira Estrada, 28, is a Venezuelan asylum seeker. She initially stayed at the largest Chicago-funded migrant shelter, but said she encountered dangerous circumstances. In Spanish, Estrada shared her concerns. “We live surrounded by danger outside the refugee shelter, because there is a lot of people doing bad things,” she said. “So they look for conflict and that brings conflict. So you kinda live with fear.” Estrada now lives at Casa Monarca in Uptown. “We live more calm (here),” Estrada said. “No one is smoking or drinking. It’s important because I feel safe. It’s a big part of the comparison.”)

NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Illinois State Board of Elections to decide whether former President Trump will remain on primary ballot following petition – Carson Gourdie (COMMENT: Which of the eight Illinois State Board of Elections members (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) will vote against Trump and which will vote for Trump? What criteria will they use?)
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/illinois-state-board-of-elections-to-vote-jan-30-on-whether-former-president-trump-will-remain-on-primary-ballot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This January, the SBE will have a hearing officer conduct hearings with the petitioners and the candidate’s legal team. The officer will then provide a recommendation to SBE’s general counsel. The general counsel will then provide their own recommendation to SBE’s eight-person board, which consists of four appointed Democrats and four appointed Republicans. On January 30th, the board will meet. (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) It would take five votes to remove Trump from the ballot. A 4-4 tie means Trump can stay. But that may not settle the situation. Redfield said he expects the United States Supreme Court to issue a ruling by March’s Super Tuesday Primary, which would settle whether Trump would remain on the ballots for both the primary and general election. We reached out to both the Illinois Democratic and Republican Party for statements but only heard back from the GOP. “The Illinois Republican Party is strictly neutral in the Republican presidential primary,” said Don Tracy, Illinois Republican Party Chairman, in a statement. “We believe the people, not activist courts, should choose who represents them in the White House. This attempt to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an anti-democracy attempt to limit the voting rights of Illinois citizens and should be dismissed outright.” The Illinois State Board of election begin formal proceedings on the petition starting on January 17th.)

LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY
— Here’s the hidden truth about how they’re going to take over the US through illegal immigrants – Pat Droney
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/bidens-anchor-babies-will-eventually-lead-to-the-great-replacement-weve-been-warned-about
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A report from the Center for Immigration Studies paints a chilling picture of the abuses being perpetrated by illegals entering the United States. While illegal aliens are restricted from many welfare programs, their “anchor babies”–children born in the United States–face no such restrictions. And they are taking advantage. The study shows that households headed by illegal aliens are more likely to use welfare than those headed by US-born citizens. Some 59.4 percent of households led by illegals use one or more welfare programs, while 39 percent of households headed by a US-born citizen use such programs, the report says. The report states that those high rates of welfare use primarily reflect their generally lower education levels and their resulting low incomes, coupled with the large share of those who have U.S.-born children eligible for all welfare programs from birth. More than half of all illegal immigrant households have one or more U.S.-born children.” The term “anchor baby” comes from the Fourteenth Amendment, which establishes “birthright citizenship,” which grants citizenship to anyone born within the United States or its territories, no matter the citizenship of the parents. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the provision, although such a loophole would appear counterproductive to the country’s security. That provision has been used (and abused) by illegals entering the country. Once they have a U.S.-born child, deporting them back to where they came from is challenging (although not impossible). Once a child reaches 21, they can seek immigrant visas for their parents and extended families to enter the U.S. It’s a loophole that has anti-illegal immigration activists upset. Many of those activists believe that illegals enter the country and have children deliberately, thereby “anchoring” them to the United States. According to the CIS report, illegals and their “anchor babies” cost the American taxpayers $150.6 billion annually. “The American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” CIS stated in the report. Currently, a dozen states offer Medicaid to all low-income children regardless of immigration status. Those children also have access to many government food and meal programs. The CIS report used the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data. “The reality is that illegal immigrants are included in the SIPP, a large share of them are poor, and they or their U.S.-born children have welfare eligibility, and many take advantage of this eligibility,” CIS stated. “A very large share of immigrants come to America, have children, struggle to provide for them, and so turn to taxpayers for support. This can be seen as especially problematic given that there is already a large number of Americans who are also struggling to provide for their children.” The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) published data that showed the total number of U.S.-born children of illegal aliens in the United States as of June 2023 stood at 5.78 million, or two times the population of Chicago. In reporting the financial impact on the American people over the past five years, the annual cost has risen by almost $35 billion. “This burden will only continue to grow as a result of the Biden administration’s open-border policies,” CIS warned. It is currently unknown how many anchor babies have been born in the United States since the Biden-facilitated invasion began. But if even only ten percent of those who have entered the country illegally have had children, the Great Replacement Theory will come to bear before you know it. Of course, anchor babies are but one small part of the issue facing the United States when it concerns illegal immigration. It has been reported that as of October 2023, at least 169 illegal aliens on the terror watch list tried to enter the United States illegally. Law Enforcement Today sources tell us that number is exponentially higher counting so-called “gotaways.” It has been reported that some of those caught included members of ISIS, which is a sworn enemy of the United States. Moreover, it isn’t only illegal aliens that are a concern to the United States. According to The PIE News, the State Department issued over 393,000 F-1 visas in FY-2023 through August last year. The number is expected to exceed the 411,131 issued in FY-2022 when final data is released. In the UK, an engineering student at the University of Birmingham was sentenced to life in prison for designing and building a so-called “kamikaze” drone for ISIS, The National News reported. Al Bared, a doctoral student at the university, began constructing the drone in July 2022. Officials say Bared built the weapon using a 3D printer after speaking to ISIS online. The outlet reported the Birmingham Crown Court heard notes found where Bared said the idea for the drone was “inspired by the design of the Tomahawk missile.” The court heard testimony that Bared intended to make a drone capable of transmitting live video for terrorism purposes and planned to travel to West Africa via Turkey. In September, he was found guilty by a jury that heard testimony that Bared planned to put together a prototype drone that he hoped would be capable of delivering a bomb or chemical weapon. He was convicted on a single count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts to benefit a proscribed terrorist organization. Last week, the sentencing judge said Bared sought to lend his support to the “terrorist agenda” of ISIS. “I have no doubt that you intended your design to be used as a single-use weapon with a range of up to 5 kilometers,” the judge said. “Your preparations were undertaken with a view to endangering multiple lives.” The judge also noted that Bared’s design of the drone was “at best suspect and at worse [sic] fundamentally flawed. This was a work in progress.” The judge continued, “You are a manipulative individual. You are a committed extremist. I have no doubt that you are still today a supporter of ISIS. It is impossible to say whether you will ever surrender your extremist views. You are a dangerous offender for whom the public requires protection. “The seriousness of offending justifies a sentence of life imprisonment.” When Al Bared was arrested last January, officials seized the drone and a mobile phone, where encrypted online chats and other digital material exposing Bared’s support for ISIS were found. Over ten million illegals have entered the United States since Biden’s January 2021 installation. Well over two hundred terrorist suspects entered the United States under Biden. Over 400,000 F1 student visas were handed out last year. Is it possible that within that number that, there are perhaps a few hundred ISIS, Hamas, or Hezbollah sympathizers? A thousand? Maybe more…much more.)

— Denver Public School scrambles to educate surge of migrant students: “So many needs” – Anna Alejo
https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/so-many-needs-denver-public-school-scrambles-educate-surge-migrant-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There’s a very cute table over here where they’re all speaking Spanish with a couple of English translators,” Boylan described in the lunchroom nearly filled to capacity in the middle of the school day. McMeen has welcomed new students throughout this school year – sometimes as many as 15 new-to-country students a week – and it’s overwhelming teachers and staff. “These are children who have literally walked from Venezuela to get to Denver,” Boylan added. Lyly Zaragoza’s kindergarten class now has 32 students – almost the maximum allowed in the teacher’s union contract. “It’s a big number and it can get a bit overwhelming at times just because there’s so many needs,” Zaragoza said. “Some of them have never been at school before, so they don’t even know how to hold a pencil.” And many students have struggled to get through the school day. Zaragoza said, “I have kids that will spend most of the day crying and asking what time, what time do I go home? What time do I see my mom? And since they’re so stuck on that they can’t really learn.” “His integration process has been slow. It has been tough for him. He is the one who’s been most affected by the change,” describes Genesis Salloum in Spanish about her son Maikol who is in first grade at McMeen. Salloum says she and her husband and three children walked across seven countries to get here from Venezuela. She saw five dead people along the way, trying to shield her kids from seeing them. “Yes, the trip was hard, it was a little difficult, getting here was not easy,” Salloum said. Her baby Giancarlos has a seizure disorder. The family was granted a humanitarian parole at the border given the baby’s health. He’s been able to get treatment, but brother Maikol is struggling to adapt and misses the support of his large family back home. McMeen projected enrollment this year at 546 kids. It’s now serving 671.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: To calculate the winner of the presidential contest, Newsweek began analyzing which candidate would win the electoral votes of each state using the most up-to-date projections from 270toWin, giving Trump the states that would be safe in GOP hands or likely/leans Republican and handing Biden the ones that would be safe/likely/leans Democratic. That left five battleground states up for grabs: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. To determine the winner in each of those states, Newsweek then factored in the most recent averages from RealClearPolling (RCP) to calculate the total electoral vote count.)

— Tax season 2024: Due dates and when IRS will start accepting tax returns (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the Centiphone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, and/or veteran. To get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ). They made it very clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 even though I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They took the aforesaid adverse actions against me not only for the aforesaid reasons, but because I had complained about their ever-increasingly giving more and more and more preference to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. The aforesaid adverse actions were a big reason why I took a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer to GAO in 1980. GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. In 1986, after I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, the GAO manager who arranged my transfer finally succeed in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and in promoting me to GS-13. But because of that, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interview with Crain’s, Joseph Morris, chairman of the WTTW community advisory board, said the station’s management has not been transparent and has been ignoring their questions for data on program viewership, adding that they were “blindsided” by the changes in the time slot as well as the time frame of the show. “The viewing public was blindsided and had to work to find where ‘Chicago Tonight’ was on the schedule. It wasn’t where you expected it to be,” Morris said. “And that was a puzzle. We shouldn’t make it hard for the people of Chicago to find our programs; we should make it very easy.” Morris says the concerns all stem from making sure that “Chicago Tonight” can remain the flagship program for the station. . .Speaking on the board’s involvement with the station, Morris said that in the past the board’s recommendations were adopted. The rebranding of the journalistic operations as WTTW News and updating the title of executive producer of “Chicago Tonight” to director of the WTTW News Department were examples given in the report. Morris added that experimentation can be good but says the board just asks for more transparency from the station. . .”We’re asking for transparency because we love the place . . . we love the people who work there, we want them to succeed,” said Morris.)

December 31, 2023

Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, all anyone in the world needs to do to come into America “legally” or to stay in America “legally” is to claim asylum. The Democrat news media ever-increasingly a) paints asylum seekers as being GOD-like and b) paints the Republican battle against illegal immigration as being lost forever. That is, that soon, if not already, Democrat leaders will have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever win an election again and RINO leaders will have all the cheap labor that they can use. Anticipate/expect that if Democrat and RINO leaders conclude that it is necessary, they will ever-increasingly move illegals to battleground/swing states so that they can vote for Biden and for the rest of the Democrats on the ballot.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: With deadline looming, is public pension funding heading in the right direction? – Jake Griffin (COMMENT: Are you earning credits toward a pension? Are you getting a pension? I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension when I was 18 in 1966. I became eligible to take early retirement in when I was 45 in 1993. I have been getting a COLA-adjusted CSRS pension (currently $65,160/year) since I was 49 in 1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about the aforesaid. In my defense, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years (1980-1997), for IRS for almost 9 years (1971-1980), and for the Post Office for almost 3 years (1966-1969). I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees in 1976 (Loyola-business), 1980 (DePaul-accounting), and 1997 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979 (accounting), 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting). I earned a job-related profession license (CPA) in 1981. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to take their early retirement “offer,” I might still be paying 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS instead of drawing a pension from it.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Only 3.4% of U.S. journalists are Republicans – Kerry Picket (COMMENT: As your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have been a member of that 3.4% since 2000. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, you cannot be both a journalist and a Republican.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/dec/30/only-34-us-journalists-are-republicans-survey/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of full-time American journalists who say they’re Republicans plummeted in the past decade, while Democrats in that profession rose. According to a new survey titled “The American Journalist Under Attack,” released by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Republicans in the industry fell from 18% in 2002 and 7.1% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2022. That’s significantly lower than the number of American adults who say they’re Republicans (26%), according to a 2022 ABC News/Washington Post poll. Democrats in the news industry saw their ranks swell by eight percentage points in 2022 to 36%. The number is nine percentage points higher than the overall Democrat population of 27%, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll. The new survey notes that the figure is the third-highest percentage of journalists identifying as Democrats since 1971. The study included other findings that covered various topics in the journalism workplace, including educational levels, workplace satisfaction, shrinking newsrooms, median ages of reporters, women, minorities, sought-after training and social media. According to the survey, 22% of the respondents said journalism in the U.S. was headed in the right direction, while 60.1% said otherwise. Similar numbers of respondents said the same a decade ago. When asked about the “most important problem facing journalism today,” the journalists mentioned these issues most often: declining public trust in the news media, shrinking local and community news coverage, perceived bias and opinion journalism, fake news and disrupted business models. This survey resumes the series of national studies of U.S. journalists launched in 1971 by sociologist John Johnstone. It continued in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2013 by David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit and their colleagues at Indiana University. The new study was based on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists and conducted in early 2022.)

PHYLLIS PCHLAFLY
— The Repackaged Attack On Motherhood – Ed Martin
https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/family/the-repackaged-attack-on-motherhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barbie phenomenon is joined by the female pop star Taylor Swift, whose record-setting concert tour caused an unprecedented meltdown at Ticketmaster. Now the film version has broken the box office record for a concert movie, drawing mostly young women to theaters where they dance on chairs and sing off-key rather than merely watching. Taylor Swift, herself childless and nearly 34 years old, was asked when she turned 30 whether she wants to have children. She curtly replied, “I don’t really think men are asked that question when they turn 30, so I’m not going to answer that now.” For the most part, Swifties have not been attending these concerts on dates with young men. An estimated 90% of these concert fans are women, an imbalance so severe that it has caused havoc with the availability of restrooms at performance venues. The messaging from the media couldn’t be any clearer. They are telling our young women that the path to happiness requires childlessness. This messaging isn’t new. Phyllis Schlafly was exposing these false promises all the way back when Betty Friedan was calling the home a “comfortable concentration camp” back in the 1960s. However, the new packaging on the same old lie shouldn’t be ignored today. We must help our daughters to see that for the vast majority of women, true and lasting fulfillment will be found in marriage and motherhood.)

— You’re never too old to pivot in your career. – Ashton Jackson (COMMENT: Have you pivoted in your career? I did when I was 31 in 1980 when I transferred from IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. But I soon found out that my Democrat GAO superiors saw me as being far too old to have a successful GAO career. To make that happen, they forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer and they ignored, dismissed, and/or belittled the fact that I a) 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 $97,079-$110,020/year, b) had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, f) had become a licensed CPA in 1981, g) had become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, 12, and 13 and never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer, who had finally been able to assign me to audits of IRS and promote me to GS-13 in 1986. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. They never would have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

DAILY MAIL
— ‘He’s soaking up the sun while illegal aliens crash our border’: Republicans slam Joe Biden for taking New Year’s holiday to Caribbean island of St Croix when 6,000-strong migrant caravan rumbles towards the US. Republicans are criticizing President Biden for vacationing in St. Croix during a border crisis, accusing the White House of neglecting the issue. Biden’s trip coincides with an increased focus on a migrant caravan and rising number of border crossings
Vacation-related attacks on presidents are common, and Republicans believe the border issue is politically advantageous in an election year. – JAMES GORDON

The ever-increasing horrific disaster caused by Democrat and RINO success in flooding America with illegals is ever-increasingly worsening. I should write a book about those who not only reject the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform, but who destroy those like me who support that plank. I would focus on past and present a) RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) RINO leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

— Champaign County sheriff expects little change in light of new gun regulation – SAMUEL LISEC
https://www.news-gazette.com/news/champaign-county-sheriff-expects-little-change-in-light-of-new-gun-regulation/article_2077db33-1e74-5b1c-86e1-1717a6a3db4d.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the law also allowed existing owners of assault-style firearms one year to register their guns with state police, with the aim of “ensuring that law enforcement knows the location of these weapons of war and who to hold accountable if they fall into the wrong hands,” a news release from the governor’s office said. Heuerman said he does not believe the Champaign County Sheriff’s office will play a large role in the rollout of the new requirement because it is unlikely that deputies will regularly encounter people whose sole crime they are committing is failing to register their regulated firearms. The statute does not require deputies go door to door to check if people have assault-style weapons guns in their home, the sheriff said. When deputies do come into contact with individuals who are possessing a gun unlawfully, it is typically because that person is using it recklessly or threateningly. In the latter instance, HB 5471 could serve as another means of prosecution for the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s office, he said. In a scenario in which a deputy encounters a person who has neglected to register their firearm, and they are not possessing or wielding it in any other unlawful way, Heuerman said he does not see a criminal arrest likely taking place in those circumstances, but rather a conversation taking place in which that person is reminded they are registered to their firearm with ISP. But if deputies were to make contact with that person who has failed to register their assault-style firearm in subsequent encounters, then the sheriff’s office could escalate their involvement in making an arrest and report for the State’s Attorney’s office to follow up on. “I don’t want to suggest people don’t do it, that’s not what I’m saying. The law is the law,” Heuerman said. “But I just don’t think the frequency is going to be there where we’re running into people violating the statute intentionally without maliciously using that weapon in some way.”)

https://www.shawlocal.com/my-suburban-life/2023/12/30/dupage-county-working-to-ensure-asylum-seekers-are-transported-to-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is working closely with local and regional partners to ensure asylum seekers who have been arriving on out-of-state buses are transported to the city of Chicago. “Our primary goal is to help these new arrivals get to their destination in the city as safely, and with as few delays, as possible. We are grateful for the collaboration with state, regional, and local officials, who have been enormously helpful in ensuring the safety and security of those arriving in DuPage County, as well as our residents,” County Board Chair Deborah Conroy said. Since Dec. 14, 49 buses have arrived at train stations in DuPage County containing 2,081 passengers, according to DuPage OHSEM. They boarded trains to Chicago, where city teams guided them to Chicago’s landing zone, which is the only designated location in the state of Illinois for asylum seekers. Residents who would like to assist asylum seekers by donating food, clothing or small household items or to learn more about the requirements for sheltering, please visit www.Chicago.gov/support .)

— Jan. 4 status hearing ordered in 5th Amendment challenge to Illinois’ gun ban. Banned item registry doubles but remains less than 1%. – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly use illegal use of semiautomatic guns to abolish Second Amendment rights. Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk those who own the banned guns, who do not register, who promote Second Amendment rights, who voted for Trump, and who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_cc6518ee-a5a4-11ee-9793-67dcc62eb4c7.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is no protections for the registrants having the information used against them, so the Supreme Court declared that unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment,” Maag said. In Maag’s case last week, McGlynn ordered a status hearing to be held Jan. 4. The state is looking to delay that into the second week of January. That’s after the Jan. 1 registration deadline. Of the 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders in Illinois, about 15,100, or 0.63%, of FOID card holders have registered as of this week’s update from ISP. That’s nearly double the number of individuals registering than reported the week before. John Boch of Guns Save Life said the compliance rate heading into the final days is dismal. “There are millions of gun owners in Illinois who haven’t registered a thing, 99.4% noncompliance rate,” Boch told The Center Square. “That’s pretty astounding.” Boch said residents have options like destroying or turning over the now banned items to law enforcement. “Other options include rehoming your firearm outside of Illinois,” Boch said. “That’s an option a lot of people including myself have chosen to get the gun out of Illinois and out of reach of the governor.” The Illinois State Rifle Association said it cannot provide legal advice, but that another option is to keep the firearm and do not register. “This option is also based on the assumption that [the U.S. Supreme Court] will strike down the law. As a consequence of this option, firearm owners could face prosecution and imprisonment,” ISRA said in a statement. “As an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you.” Those found with banned items that are not registered with Illinois State Police could face a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense and a Class 3 felony for second and subsequent offenses. Rules for the gun ban registry are not finalized. Emergency rules in place since mid-September have not been officially updated by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. They meet again Jan. 16 in Springfield, where the bipartisan legislative body could accept gun ban registry rules on second notice.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new rules would empower the commission to prosecute internet service providers for alleged discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and other protected classes, as well as income. The rules empower the FCC to “crack down on digital inequities,” as The Associated Press put it. By which the commission might mean, for example, punishing companies for building infrastructure in neighborhoods where the agency expects people actually will buy it. The newly Democrat-dominated FCC allegedly imposed the new rules to “eliminate discrimination” in access to internet services. By which the commission means the uneven rollout of 5G service, itself stymied by regulatory red tape.)

They forced him to retire in 1987, they threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, they gave me a bad job assignment in early 1989, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal for that assignment, and they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in late 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings – Jason Horowitz (COMMENT: What do you say to those who have asked me why I never pretended to be Swedish?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?”)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam. The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing? – Michael Wines (COMMENT: The Vietnam War continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to punish me for my avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They punished me the most while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. They stress that I should have enlisted because I am conservative, Republican, and deemed 1-A for the draft. They stress that I am unmitigated coward because with my health problems (could not run because of a bone disease, eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and partially red/green color blind), I would not been sent into combat. They stress that if I had not avoided the Viet Nam War draft, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970, d) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, g) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, h) buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, i) etc.)

— ‘Diversity’ just means discrimination. Aviva’s CEO has unwittingly revealed the backwardness of the ‘DEI’ agenda. – ALKA SEHGAL CUTHBERT (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote diversity, that is, they want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, parents, veterans, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/12/21/diversity-just-means-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, has revealed that no white males can be recruited to senior posts without her say-so. Speaking last week at a Treasury Select Committee hearing on sexism in the finance industry, Blanc said that there can be ‘no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer’. It was an admission that revealed a lot about the impact of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda on employment and public life more broadly. Thanks to DEI, it is now acceptable for a CEO to state that she will subject ‘non-diverse’ candidates – a coded reference to white males – to extra scrutiny. Which sounds very much like discrimination to me. This captures the through-the-looking-glass logic of DEI, a logic that menaces every principle of fairness and equality. After all, a fair approach to recruitment would ensure that vacancies are widely advertised so as to broaden the pool of applicants. That way, an organization can maximize its chances of finding the best applicant with the best set of skills and talents for the role advertised.)
