RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— Media Bias? Voter Distrust of Political News Grows
(COMMENT: Government and political reporters and journalists are either pro-conservative or anti-conservative. I am pro-conservative. Ever-increasingly, voters distrust government and political reporters and journalists who falsely deny that they are anti-conservative.)
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/november_2021/media_bias_voter_distrust_of_political_news_grows
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Voters increasingly distrust reporting about politics, and most think the media are less aggressive in questioning President Joe Biden than they were with former President Donald Trump. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters don’t trust the political news they’re getting. That’s up from 43% in July. Just 33% now say they trust the political news they’re getting, down from 37% in July. Another 14% are not sure.)

(COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans. AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are Reparations. Who has paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations? I should write a book about those who have determined, are determining, and will determine who paid, is paying, and will pay the price of AA, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Reparations. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/dr-jason-hill-on-reparations-white-guilt-and-the-age-of-post-oppression_4102379.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It befuddles me to see how someone who’s living in Appalachia in a trailer park, who has no access to water, health care, is a walking practitioner of racism, and that that person should, in some sense, participate in a reparations program for … an upper-class black person with five college degrees.”)

POLITICO
— FBI raid on Project Veritas founder’s home sparks questions about press freedom. The action against James O’Keefe has prompted concern about the Biden administration’s commitment to the First Amendment. – JOSH GERSTEIN
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I falsely claim to be a journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, etc.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/13/raid-veritas-okeefe-biden-press-521307
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the center of the gathering legal storm is a pivotal question: Is O’Keefe a journalist in the eyes of the law? O’Keefe’s attorneys insist that despite his evident political bent and his unorthodox — sometimes deceptive — tactics, he qualifies as a journalist under a federal statute and Justice Department regulations aimed at sharply restricting the use of search warrants and similar steps against members of the media. Prosecutors insist they’ve complied with those requirements, but have thus far been cagey about whether or not they’re treating O’Keefe as a member of the press.)

THE HILL
— Can a new ‘anti-woke’ university make it financially? – RONALD L. TROWBRIDGE
(COMMENT: Of course, employers that are the following will not hire University of Austin graduates: anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/581333-can-a-new-anti-woke-university-make-it-financially
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Nov. 8 the University of Austin in Texas came into being. It will grant undergraduate and master’s degrees and plans to purchase property, classroom buildings, labs, dormitories and related facilities, as well as hire faculty and staff. The price tag will of course be staggering. The university says it “will not factor race, gender, or class into admissions decisions, standing firmly against that sort of discrimination.” It will be “fiercely independent — financially, intellectually, and politically.” In sum, it will be anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, and more significantly, pro-free speech — unlike virtually every other university and college in the country.)

— Gerrymandering surges as states redraw maps for House seats – DAVID A. LIEB and NICHOLAS RICCARDI
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat plants and the RINOs who gerrymandered my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton in 2015. To get rid of me, they drew me into the same precinct with Jeanne Ives. I lost about 250 voters west of the Illinois Prairie Path or about half of my about 500 voters that I had since 1999 and gained about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road. Fewer of the voters I gained were Republican than those who I lost.)

— Babylon Bee makes fun of the Left in newly released ‘Guide to Wokeness’ – Michael Gryboski
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being woke and champions of the oppressed. I should write a book about them. To paint me as being an oppressor, they stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, heterosexual, married, childless, non-dog owner, gun owner, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and have owned land in America since 1854, Crete resident 1948-1972, new car owner since 1966, real estate owner since 1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, etc.)
https://www.christianpost.com/books/babylon-bee-pokes-fun-at-the-left-in-new-guide-to-wokeness.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The minds behind the popular Christian satire site The Babylon Bee have released a new book that pokes fun at the ideas and actions of those who identify as “woke.” The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness was released earlier this month as a satirical critique of woke ideology. The book was dedicated to communist dictator Joseph Stalin, whom it calls a “woke hero” and “champion of the oppressed proletariat.” The book promises to help readers “take your wokeness to the next level by canceling friends, breaking windows, and burning it all to the ground.” “Wokeness isn’t a private religion you can keep to yourself,” explains the introduction. “Once you see the world through woke eyes, you’ll never be the same, and you’ll never be able to stop telling your friends about your new beliefs. Kind of like when you join CrossFit or become vegan — or get an air fryer.” The guide defines “woke” as “[f]inding your identity not in objective reality, but in your feelings,” “[w]orshiping the planet because humanity is evil,” “[f]inding the racism, sexism, and hatred in everything” and “[b]rainwashing your kids to hate life and be miserable.” “Because you don’t want to raise a generation of happy, well-adjusted kids — that’s what NAZIS do,” the guide warns.)

FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL
— Tell Congress not to draft our daughters!
(COMMENT: My biggest mistake in my life was my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer and that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/2/conservative-pundit-prager-says-he-feels-muzzled-b/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If I say the ‘wrong thing’ — whatever that might be — on my Fireside Chat podcast for PragerU, I can be yanked off YouTube or Facebook. When big business and big government work together to muzzle free speech, that’s fascism,” Mr. Prager said. The nationally syndicated talk show host’s comments came as his company PragerU continues to wage a long legal battle against Google’s YouTube. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled unanimously against Mr. Prager‘s claim of illegal censorship of conservatives. But Mr. Prager continues to allege that YouTube prevents PragerU from advertising videos due to unexplained violations of community guidelines, restricting other videos as likewise inappropriate and adding a disclaimer that the content may be factually incorrect. “Never in the history of this country has free speech been in such jeopardy. What’s even more shocking is that the threat is not coming directly from the government but from woke corporations,” Mr. Prager said.)

— Gov. J.B. Pritzker dumps chair of board that oversees hiring and promotions at Illinois State Police – RAY LONG and DAN PETRELLA
(COMMENT: Extremely few of my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had relevant work experience outside of GAO. Extremely few had experience working for other federal agencies. So of course, because GAO audits IRS and because I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year, they viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned my IRS experience. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, that is, they succeeded in wasting my knowledge of IRS.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new law would exclude people with State Police experience, like Garcia, from holding the merit board’s executive director position, a move the Pritzker administration said was designed to ensure there is no favoritism in hiring. The administration said the provision was not aimed at Garcia.)

— Equity Partner Says Chicago Firm Trying To Force Retirement – Lauraann Wood
(COMMENT: I should write a book about Diersen v. GAO. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrats GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” a) to further punish me for my opposing their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) to further punish me for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and c) to allow them to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, which they did. Previously, they had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In my book, I would focus on RINO federal elected officials in Illinois, their staff members, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and staff members who sided with my Democrat GAO superiors.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/in-the-era-of-wokeness-a-white-male-wins-a-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a world of woke extremism, one North Carolina man stood up to the bullies and won. David Duvall, a former Novant Health executive, was awarded $10 million after being fired for discriminatory reasons, WNCT reported. Duvall is a white male and asserted he was replaced in his job for purposes of diversity, not merit. For five years, Duvall was the senior vice president for marketing and communications at Novant before he lost his job. Luke Largess, Duvall’s attorney, stated , “he was fired and replaced by two women, one a racial minority, during a Diversity and Inclusion initiative in 2018 that included explicit goals to remake the demographics of Novant’s senior leadership.” Duvall took his case to the courts, and a jury sided with him. WNCT reported that a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina’s Charlotte Division found that Duvall demonstrated “that his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male) was a motivating factor in Novant Health’s decision to terminate him.” Furthermore, the jury decided that Novant Health did not prove “that it would have made the same decision to terminate David Duvall regardless of his race (Caucasian) and/or his sex (male).”)

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/lydia-switzer/2021/10/27/dem-hypocrites-cnn-still-full-panic-over-gop-redistricting
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Republicans redistrict, CNN lambasts their partisanship, but when Democrats gerrymander? Radio silence. Last week, John Avlon accused Texas Republicans of crafting a “blatantly partisan, pro-white map,” while ignoring the proposed Illinois congressional map giving even more power to Democrats; the map, according to FiveThirtyEight, would add one Democratic seat and subtract two Republican seats. This would leave only 3 out of 17 House seats to Republicans (17.6% of seats), despite 40% of Illinois citizens voting for Trump in 2020.)

— A Wealth Tax. What are the pluses and minuses? – David Leonhardt
(COMMENT: The more of your income that you spend on immediate pleasures (vacations, spectator sports, fancy restaurant meals, pets, booze, gambling, pot, etc.), the less wealth that you will have.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/28/briefing/wealth-tax-spending-bill-manchin.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans pay an annual wealth tax on their largest asset. It’s called property tax. Each year, they pay an amount equal to a small percentage of the estimated value of their house, and a house is by far the most valuable item that most families own. The very rich are different. While they pay property taxes too, their homes tend to make up a tiny share of their net worth. The bulk of their assets are not taxed. In past decades, other taxes — like the corporate tax (the burden of which falls on stockholders) and the estate tax — served almost as de facto wealth taxes. But those other taxes have declined, causing the total federal tax rate on the wealthy to plummet 🙂
