— You pay more in property taxes because 27,288 Cook County homeowners pay nothing. As disabled vets, Sen. Tammy Duckworth and former Ald. James Balcer are among those with tax bills of $0. Income isn’t a factor in getting the tax break for disabled vets. In some states, it is. – Tim Novak, Lauren Fitzpatrick, and Caroline Hurley

SIU NEWS
— Federally mandated training for preventing harassment and discrimination is due by Nov. 1 (COMMENT: Such training promotes hatred against employees who have the following demographics: conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. The federal government requires all its employees to take lots of such training. Therefore, I took lots of such training. The training resulted in my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were swayed by it (NOT ME) to not want to work for, work with, or supervise employees who have the aforesaid demographics. My IRS mentor who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 was not swayed by the training, so my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him. My GAO mentor who hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986 was not swayed by the training, so my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/sep/30/lawmakers-rally-cause-marine-jailed-afghan-critici/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing number of conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill are rallying to the cause of a Marine lieutenant colonel jailed this week for his outspoken and repeated criticism of his superiors and what he said was their failure to take responsibility for mishandling the chaotic final days of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller lost his job as commander of the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion at North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune after posting a video demanding accountability from top military leaders after the Aug. 26 suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan. The attack killed 13 U.S. service members and more than 160 Afghan citizens. Col. Scheller followed up his criticism with several more online videos and even wrote about the gag order his superiors issued demanding he stop. This week, he was moved to the brig at Camp Lejeune because the Marine Corps considers him a flight risk and thinks China could use his videos as fodder for anti-U.S. propaganda, according to someone familiar with the case against the Marine officer.)
