— Residents call Chicago report that maps neighborhood pollution flawed because calculations don’t include industrial corridors – Karina Atkins (COMMENT: How has pollution impacted you? My father worked in the office of a nasty polluted chemical plant in the east side of Chicago Heights from 1941 until he died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. I remember him often coming home from work with his car and his clothes covered with pollution.)

— A landmark jury verdict threatens to upend home buying and selling. In Illinois, changes are already underway. – Lizzie Kane (COMMENT: In 1984, I sold 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ). Seven realtors had offered to list the home for between $79,000 and $107,000. Before accepting any of their offers, I went door-to-door in an expanding circle around the home distributing 1,000 For Sale flyers that I produced. That resulted in a $104,000 offer that I accepted. My wife and I had bought the home for $80,000 in 1978.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Brighton Park migrant tent site construction blocked by protesters: ‘Show me the permit; I’m ready to go to jail.’ Protesters said more than 10 dump trucks were lined up to enter the site to lay a gravel base, which city officials have said is required of any site intended for a migrant camp. – Michael Loria and Tyler LaRiviere

— There’s no gray area about the importance of truth in journalism. – Rick Telander (COMMENT: The more of the following that journalist are, the faster that they are gotten rid of: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that. Of course, I would use myself as an example.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The networks that employ NFL sideline reporters, almost all women, often seem to have put them there not for information-gathering but for the attraction they will create for the majority-male audience that watches the games.)
— Dog bites hit South and West Sides hardest — same areas that lack dog parks, pet shops, other resources. While dog bites since 2019 have taken place all across the city, the communities with the highest number of complaints are largely on the West Side of the city where there are fewer resources for dogs and their owners. – Phyllis Cha (COMMENT: I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post 1966-1969. While I was never bit, I had many close calls. Neither my parents nor my grandparents on my father’s side owned dogs. My grandparents on my mother’s side owned dogs, but only because they operated a farm and abandoned dogs came to their farm looking for food.)

(COMMENT: Government is vicious. Politics is vicious. Democrats are vicious. During the 1980s, my Democrat GAO superiors viciously demonized me, denigrated me, condemned me, and punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying in vitro fertilization. According to our doctor, success would have been extremely unlikely because we both had fertility problems — with her eggs and my sperm.)
— Liberal Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) blame conservative Republicans for all problems. The liberal Democrat Party platform promotes dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The aforesaid promote poverty and crime.

— Historic public transit investment will transform Far South Side, south suburbs. – Kirk Dillard (COMMENT: Needless-to-say, my entire life would have been different/better if Crete had public transit to the Loop. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I commuted by car to classes at UIC west of the Loop 1966-1968. Wheaton’s public transit to the Loop was a very big reason why my wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984. I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997. My wife worked in the Loop 1970-1992.)

DAILY HERALD
— Private schools lament end of state’s Invest in Kids tax credit for scholarships – Marni Pyke (COMMENT: How much money did your parents have? My father and his father, grandfather, and great grandfather had lots less money because they all sent their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. My father sent me to that school 1953-1961 and then my brother 1958-1961. He sent me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 and my brother 1961-1968 to stay with the Missouri Synod. Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college. My father almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, most often playing the piano in restaurants and bars, delivering eggs in Park Forest, and working in an A&W in Steger.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-volunteers-thanksgiving-meals/
— Chicago community organization serves as real-life example of healing power of foster care – SUZANNE LE MIGNOT (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1987, 1988, and 1989 and used as a pretext my wife and I having given up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to punish me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had lied about my wanting to have children and what my wife and I had done to have children to be assigned in in-town audits. The real reason for their punishment was my having complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination and I had become in late 1988 the office’s only active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would focus on my Democrat superiors who forced the GAO manager to resign in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, who had been finally able to assign me to audits of IRS in early 1986, and who promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in late 1986. I would focus on those who threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988. I would focus on those who constructively demoted me in 1989 by assigned me to a bad 6-month out-of-town audit and by giving me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— This Illinois city is growing, but these 7 are shrinking – Marc Sternfield, Addy Bink
https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/this-illinois-city-is-growing-but-these-7-are-shrinking-analysis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here in Illinois, only Joliet experienced growth over the last five years, albeit meager. According to SmartAsset, the city’s population grew from 147,150 in 2017 to 147,696, a less than 1% increase. . .It wasn’t all growth across Illinois, though (more than 344,000 residents did leave the state last year). According to SmartAsset’s analysis, seven Illinois cities saw their populations decrease between 2017 and 2022. The hardest hit was Aurora, which saw a 10% decrease in population over the analyzed time frame. Nearby Elgin’s population decreased by just over 4%, while Peoria saw a 5.5% dip in population. Naperville saw the lowest decrease, losing only about 80 residents between 2017 and 2022. Others shrank by less than 2%: Springfield (-1.2%), Rockford (-1.7%) and Chicago (-1.9%).)

What demographics to you share with Trump? My critics/opponents stress that I share the following demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, heterosexual, married, gun-owner, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

WBEZ
— Volunteers blindsided by new 60-day limit on migrant stays in Chicago shelters. Advocates wonder where people will stay once their time in Chicago shelters runs out. (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that Chicago Democrat leaders will ever-increasingly send their illegals to your county, to your township, to your municipality, to your school district, to your neighborhood, and to your block. Will they send their illegals to residences of registered Democrats? If so, what will those registered Democrats have those illegals do? Walk their dogs? Clean up after their dogs? Take care of their children? Teach their children how to speak, read, and write Spanish? Buy groceries? Cook and serve meals? Wash dishes and clothes? Rake leaves? Shovel snow? Clean bathrooms? Take out the garbage? Will the formula be one illegal for each registered Democrat in the residence? Of course, nearby RINO employers will replace their employees who are citizens of America with illegals and pay them way less.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— CNN asks DeSantis if Trump is too old to run. How old are you? According to my Democrat IRS superiors, starting in 1973, I was too old to be promoted to GS-13 because I was 25 years old and because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I finally did make GS-13 in 1986, but only after I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, transferred to GAO in 1980, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, and finally got assigned to audits of IRS in 1986. All of my coworkers who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors promoted over me had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or fewer professional certifications than I had or no professional certifications. None of them had a job-related professional license like I had.

— Biden FCC Moves to Put New DEI Controls Over Internet – Eric Mack
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fcc-joe-biden-dei/2023/11/20/id/1142976/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Despite admitting there’s ‘little to no evidence’ of discrimination by telecommunications companies, Democrats are hoping to convince the American people that broadband Internet is so racist they need to plow ahead with government-mandated affirmative action and race-based pricing,” Cruz wrote in a statement. “The only beneficiaries of this Orwellian ‘equity’ plan are overzealous government regulators who want to control the Internet.” Cruz had led 27 Senate Republicans’ letter to Rosenworcel warning against the vote later last week to authorize the Biden DEI initiative at the FCC, but she ignored it, his office lamented. “Your Draft Order, which largely follows a Biden administration diktat, will create crippling uncertainty for the U.S. broadband industry, chill broadband investment, and undermine Congress’ objective of promoting broadband access for all Americans,” the letter read. “We urge you to adhere to the will of Congress and conform to the plain meaning of section 60506 to avoid causing serious damage to the competitive and innovative U.S. broadband industry.”)

They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously they a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for their pay-for-performance purposes, b) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, c) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14, d) gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, e) assigned me to work for, to work with, and to supervise their most problematic employees, f) turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, and g) forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, that is, to take a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They flushed the following down their toilet: a) my job-related professional license (CPA-1981), my six job-related professional certifications (Forensic Accountant-1997, Financial Services Auditor-1996, Government Financial Manager-1994, Fraud Examiner-1990, Internal Auditor-1981, and CPA-1979), b) my three job-related master’s degrees (IIT-finance-1997, DePaul-accounting-1980, and Loyola-business-1976), and my knowledge of IRS that I had gained working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.)

— Can an employer sue a worker for leaving a bad review of the company? (COMMENT: From the beginning, my Democrat GAO superiors treated me like they wanted me to sue them, which is what I eventually did. They forced me to suffer a $20,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. The delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. IRS had promoted me to GS-11 in 1973 and to GS-12 in 1974. 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 when I was 49 years old. They would not have taken the aforesaid actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. The way that they treated me sent a very strong message to those who share my demographics to not work for GAO. SEE: Diersen v. GAO at: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )

BLAZE
— Chicago felon with armed robbery convictions still has 2nd Amendment rights and cannot be charged for possessing firearm, judge rules – CORTNEY WEIL (COMMENT: When my lawsuit against GAO was transferred from Washinton DC to Chicago in 2000, it was assigned to Judge Gettleman. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
https://www.theblaze.com/news/felon-with-armed-robbery-convictions-still-has-2nd-amendment-rights-and-cannot-be-charged-for-possessing-firearm-judge-rules

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Price, now 37, had already been convicted of felony armed robbery three times in the past, federal law prohibited him from owning a gun. So officers charged Price with possessing a firearm as a felon, a federal statute with a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years. On November 2, however, the federal case against Price was dismissed after U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, a Clinton appointee, determined that the statute prohibiting felons from possessing firearms was unconstitutional. That law “imposes a far greater burden on the right to keep and bear arms than the historical categorical exclusions from the people’s Second Amendment right,” Gettleman wrote in the 22-page decision.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— An Old Hate Cracks Open on the New Right – David French (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me as being an antisemite. They stressed to my many Jewish superiors and supervisors that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)

WASHINGTON POST
— New college grads are more likely to be unemployed in today’s job market. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is higher than for the general population in an unusual shift. – Abha Bhattarai (COMMENT: When I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old with a bachelor’s degree in management, I took the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. But I soon learned that job did not require a college degree and that advancement was way too slow. Seven months after I started, my boss still had me installing tires, changing oil and filters, installing batteries, delivering major appliances, pumping gasoline, and cleaning the store’s showroom while it was open. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile to be a liaison between its factories and its dealers. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for my accepting that offer. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20231117/whats-behind-the-surge-in-deadly-crashes-involving-drugged-drivers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois has a drugged driving problem, and it began well before the legalization of recreational marijuana in 2020. That’s among the key findings of a new analysis of the state’s crash statistics and a driver survey conducted by AAA — The Auto Club Group. According to the data, the number of drivers involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for drugs grew from 235 in 2013 to 418 in 2021, a 78% hike. The increase is even greater for cannabinoids such as marijuana — 96 to 203, a 111% leap — but there also have been more drivers testing positive for both prescription and illegal narcotics after deadly crashes. Experts attribute the increase to a number of causes, from easier access to recreational drugs to a lack of driver education about the effects of drugs on their abilities behind the wheel.)

— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One horrific example comes from Urbana, where just 3.5 percent of Black students are grade proficient in reading and 1.1 percent of Black students are proficient in mathematics. At the same time, 7.2 percent of Hispanic students are proficient in reading and 3.9 percent are proficient in mathematics. White and Asian students in Urbana scored at a higher level, but are nothing to brag about. Far more than half the students in both groups failed to show grade proficiency in both reading and math. Just 23.8 percent of White students and 26.5 percent of Asian students achieved at grade level in reading. In math, only 21.5 percent of White students and 31.6 percent of Asian students are grade proficient.)

MILITARY
— As America Celebrates Its Veterans, the Population Is Younger, More Diverse and Shrinking – Patricia Kime (COMMENT: While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 (Post Office), 1971-1980 (IRS), and 1980-1997 GAO), the percentage of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinate who were veterans was very high, but that percentage decreased. Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

Darin LaHood as a “former moderate” who “raced to the unreasonable Right” and tied himself to “the most unethical and least transparent president in history.” LaHood still represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, and his father, Ray LaHood, was a famously moderate Republican figure. “Darin LaHood is your quintessential average Republican congressman. And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)

— Calls for Joe Biden not to run raise an age-old question we all face eventually – Clarence Page (COMMENT: How old were you when you got your last promotion? For me, it was late 1986, when I was 38 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that I applied for that promotion to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, and they were more furious with the GAO manager who promoted me. He had arranged my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 and he had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in early 1986. They were so furious that they forced him to retire in 1987. They threatened to punish me severely if I ever applied for a promotion again. That prompted me to become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in late 1988. Because of that, they threw me off audits of IRS and gave me a very bad job assignment, unfair performance expectations, and an unfair performance appraisal in 1989. 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 a) present themselves as being champions for minorities, and especially for minorities who are female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time and b) paint those who share my demographics as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Democrats ever-increasingly a) run America and b) promote more and more and more hatred against Republicans and especially against Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/opinion/columnists/united-states-right-social-change.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Across six battleground states, Trump leads President Biden 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters. In the crucial swing states that Biden won last time, Trump is ahead in five — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — while Biden leads only in Wisconsin. Biden is losing support from young voters, Hispanic voters, Black voters — constituencies Democrats have depended on for decades to overcome the longstanding Republican advantage among whites. Women voters favor Biden by eight percentage points, 50 percent to 42 percent, but men favor Trump by a far wider 18-point spread: 55 percent to 37 percent. (I guess that’s another definition for the term “manspreading.”) On the economy, voters prefer Trump over Biden by a 22-point margin. And a whopping 71 percent think Biden is too old to be president, as opposed to just 39 percent for Trump. – Gail Collins and Bret Stephens
