CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois Republicans grapple with mail voting amid mixed signals from Trump. ‘We have to adapt’ A greater share of Chicago area Republicans cast their ballots by mail in March compared to the 2022 primary, but they were still vastly outpaced by Democrats in utilizing a voting system that has become increasingly popular. – Mitchell Armentrout (COMMENT: I contacted 14 registered Republican voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton who had requested mail-in ballots, but the election commission had no record of their receipt as the March 19, 2024 election approached.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/democracy/2024/04/26/vote-by-mail-republicans-illinois-donald-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While rallying his political troops last summer in Springfield heading into the primary campaign season, Illinois Republican Party chairman Don Tracy highlighted some of his top priorities to help the party regain a foothold in the Democratic-dominated state. “We’ve got to embrace early voting and voting by mail,” Tracy said at the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee & County Chairmen’s Association breakfast in August. “Democrats have won too many close elections on the strength of their vote-by-mail programs.” Tracy said such vote-banking “needs to be the focus of every campaign in every county and township throughout the state” — no small order for a party led by former President Donald Trump, who has routinely sown mistrust for mail-in voting since he lost his 2020 reelection bid. . .The state GOP chairman has downplayed the possibility of Trump’s unfounded fraud claims discouraging Illinois voters from signing up for mail ballots, noting that Trump has embraced it as he tries to retake the Oval Office from President Joe Biden. “ABSENTEE VOTING, EARLY VOTING, AND ELECTION DAY VOTING ARE ALL GOOD OPTIONS,” Trump wrote in a social media post last week. “REPUBLICANS MUST MAKE A PLAN, REGISTER, AND VOTE!” On the biggest stages, though, Trump has regularly fallen back on the myths of rampant voter fraud that he’s claimed denied him a second term. “Mail-in voting has to be totally corrupt. Get that through your head,” Trump said at a Michigan rally in February. “I mean, it has to be.” The FBI and other authorities have confirmed there was no widespread mail voter fraud or any other interference in the 2020 election. While Tracy and other establishment Illinois Republicans have kept Trump’s lies about election fraud at arm’s length, they have suggested Democrats who hold all statewide offices and supermajorities in the General Assembly aren’t committed to preventing ballot-box shenanigans. “We want to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat. Democrats want it to be easy no matter what. They loosen voter integrity rules every chance they get,” Tracy said, pointing to Democratic rejection of voter ID requirements. Republican leaders have also argued state laws that have expanded mail voting eligibility since 2020 “remove important election safeguards” — but they agree their opponents across the aisle have left them in the dust when it comes to voter registration and mail ballot sign-up efforts. “Look at the model of what Democrats have done over the years,” said former Illinois House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, a Republican from Western Springs who stepped down last year. “They have been incredibly successful at registering and mobilizing voters. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Republicans up 3 to 4 points on Election Day, and everyone is thrilled until — ‘whoa, whoa, there are still mail ballots out.’ Then there’s a flip, and we continue to be on the losing side,” said Durkin, a vocal opponent of Trump. “It took Republicans a while to see this is where elections are won and lost,” he said. “It’s here to stay. It’s in every state, whether you like it or not, and you have to deal with it.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump is the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. If you are a Republican and not a RINO, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, or Independent plant and if you are not involved in Republican politics to get more preference for yourself and/or for those who share your demographics, please consider being a delegate to the Illinois Republican Party State Convention at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville May 24 and 25 – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

I have been a delegate to all the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Conventions since 2000. I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee at the 2008 convention and I will serve again on that committee this year representing the 3rd Congressional District.

Illinois counties are allowed one delegate for every 500 Republican ballots cast in the preceding primary. Approximately 50,000 Republican ballots were cast in the March 19 primary in DuPage County, so approximately 100 can be delegates from DuPage County. If you are interested in being a delegate, contact the chairman of your Republican county party organization as soon as possible. Statutes call for delegates to be approved at County Conventions. The DuPage County Republican County Convention will be held on April 17 at the DuPage County Auditorium.

Registration for the convention is $75 and that covers training sessions on Friday and Saturday, welcome reception Friday evening, attendance at the General Session, and other events that are being scheduled.

Delegates will vote on various resolutions brought to the convention floor. The full schedule for the convention is currently being finalized and will be published once complete.

— Representation: Delegates represent their local communities or districts. They participate in discussions, vote on party matters, and advocate for their constituents’ interests.

— Selecting Candidates: Delegates help choose party candidates for various offices such as National Committeeman and National Committeewoman, and delegates to the Republican National Convention.
— Platform Development: Delegates influence the party’s platform, and ultimately approve the party’s platform. The platform outlines the party’s stance on critical issues.

— Networking and Advocacy: Delegates interact with fellow party members, build connection, and advocate for specific policies or candidates.

Attending the convention is a great way to get involved in the Republican Party and network with like-minded conservatives.

My Democrat GAO superiors misled me into believing that they nevertheless were going to let me work until I was eligible to take regular retirement when I would be 55 years old in 2003. But when was 49 years old in September of 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired on September 30, 1997. They would have let me work until I was eligible to take early retirement if I had not became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would not have become an active member in that lawsuit if they had not outrageously a) forced me to take a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) given me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, d) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, and d) thrown me off audits of IRS in 1988.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Democrats should be jittery about Pennsylvania voter registration trends – Salena Zito
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2954573/democrats-should-be-jittery-about-pennsylvania-voter-registration-trends/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you are a longtime resident of Pennsylvania, it still is a bit of a jolt to the senses to drive through what was once coal country and see an oversized, cheery, red billboard sitting along U.S. 30 reading “VOTE REPUBLICAN.” However, it is a reminder of how much the people who live in these old industrial and coal-rich counties have shed the local Democratic politics of their upbringing. Voter registration numbers, as we shall see, show as much. Important to note: These voters have not changed personally, but their parties have done so. Democrats have abandoned their working-class voters for college-educated elites who rarely call the middle of somewhere home. Officials in both parties in Washington — whether they are lawmakers on Capitol Hill or strategists working for one of the alphabet soup campaign arms of the House, Senate, or state legislatures, or a staffer for any of them — often struggle with how to appeal to these citizens.)

A long-term study done in the Netherlands showed that over time, children grow out of their gender confusion. The study was conducted over 25 years using 2,772 11-year-olds from the general population. They were asked periodically to respond to the statement, “I wish to be the opposite sex.”)

— Eric Adams welcomes Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to NYC with offer to sleep at a migrant shelter – MICHAEL GARTLAND (COMMENT: Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly a) promote illegal immigration and b) blame Republicans for the terrible problems their illegals cause.)
https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/04/04/eric-adams-welcomes-texas-gov-greg-abbott-to-nyc-with-offer-to-sleep-at-a-migrant-shelter/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mayor Adams offered a sarcastic helping hand to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during his New York City stay, saying Thursday that the Republican could sleep in a migrant shelter “so he can see what he has created.” Abbott, who has helped feed the migrant crisis in the city through a policy of busing thousands of migrants from Texas since 2022, was expected to be in New York for an annual Republican fundraiser. His sojourn to the Big Apple is widely viewed as a window into the GOP’s strategic thinking as the presidential contest and national congressional races heat up. Asked about the governor’s visit, Adams suggested Abbott lodge in one of the many Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, or HERRCs, that the city has set up to accommodate the more than 180,000 migrants who’ve flooded in during Adams’ term in City Hall. “I’m going to offer him a stay in one of the HERRCs, so he can see what he has created and understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect that he should have shown,” Adams said during a press conference in City Hall. “I’m not quite sure why he’s here and what he’s doing while here,” the mayor continued. “But he’s going to see how you can manage the crisis with coordination.” Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to an email and declined to comment over the phone. For months, Adams has lambasted Abbott for failing to coordinate with the city in his response to the migrant situation and has blamed him for pawning off the crisis on cities around the U.S. He has also criticized President Biden over national immigration policy. The mayor, as well, has weathered his own criticisms, with advocates pouncing on him for seeking to diminish the city’s right to shelter law and for the waits for shelter some migrants have experienced. Adams has contended that his administration has been successful in encouraging migrants to find housing elsewhere by limiting shelter stays to 30 or 60 days. In January, he and the city’s top lawyer announced the city was suing 17 charter bus companies responsible for transporting migrants to New York. On Thursday night, Abbott addressed his policy of sending migrants to New York City, drawing a rebuke from an Adams spokesman. The Texas governor attempted to place blame for the policy on Adams, claiming he only started sending migrants to New York City after coming under criticism from the mayor. “After a while I figured, gosh, if I’m gonna get the criticism, I want to get the credit and thus began the busing of illegal migrants to the sanctuary city of New York,” he said at the state GOP’s annual gala at the Hilton in Midtown. The mayor’s office disputed that account. “Remember that [Abbott] lied in 2022 about this and falsely claimed we never reached out when we found he was bussing migrants to NYC before he finally admitted to doing so,” tweeted Adams spokesman Fabien Levy.)

— Rhode Island GOP party goes ‘all volunteer’ after executive director steps down. What that means. – PATRICK ANDERSON (COMMENT: Who is the conservative outreach/volunteer coordinator for the Illinois Republican Party?)
https://www.aol.com/ri-gop-party-goes-volunteer-191219620.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Rhode Island Republican Party’s executive director has stepped down and, at least in the short term, will not be replaced. Jesus Solorio, who was hired as state GOP executive director in March 2022, announced Monday that he had left the party to form his own political consultancy. “It’s been an honor serving as the Rhode Island GOP executive director for the past two years,” Solorio wrote in a news release, which described the specialty of his new firm, Homan Street Strategies, as “empowering candidates with the precise tools and strategies needed to turn blue seats red.” During his time at the Rhode Island Republican Party, Solorio saw very few blue seats turn red in Rhode Island as Democrats maintained their grip on statewide offices and most city halls and commanding majorities in the General Assembly. State party Chairman Joe Powers Monday said the organization had “not put in a plan to fill the position straight away” and would be returning to the all-volunteer arrangement that was in place from 2018 until Solorio’s hiring in 2022. Solorio came to Rhode Island from Illinois, where he had been the Latino outreach/volunteer coordinator for then-candidate and future one-term governor Bruce Rauner before launching his own unsuccessful campaign for Congress. Solorio was alerted to the Rhode Island job by Ashley Kalus, a fellow Rauner campaign alum who won the Republican nomination for governor of Rhode Island in 2022, but lost to Gov. Dan McKee. More recently, Solorio came under pressure in January when the party struggled to collect the necessary signatures to get all Republican presidential candidates on the state primary ballot. The four Republicans challenging presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump did ultimately qualify for the primary ballot.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.)

— More than 10K ballots left out of count: Chicago Board of Elections – Tre Ward
https://abc7chicago.com/videoClip/14566075/
— Women’s History Month: Balancing Life & Careers (COMMENT: All my Democrat superiors in the federal government were married and had children. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income. Overwhelmingly, they used that to paint themselves as being financially distressed and as needing bonuses and promotions. Overwhelming, they used that to justify their not earning job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. They hated DINKs. Extremely few of their older subordinates were DINKs. I became a DINK when I got married in 1978 when I was 29 years old. Their hatred against me increased when a) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, f) earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, g) bought a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978 and had one built in Wheaton in 1984, h) accompanied my wife on her many business trips to luxury resorts 1978-1992, i) bought collector cars in 1989 and 1994, j) etc. They took more and more and more adverse actions against me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. Further, virtually all my Democrat superiors talked and/or acted like they were anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Protestant, and/or anti-German American. Further, virtually all of my Democrat male superiors were veterans who hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I never could have done the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— Lyft holding out on thousands in payments to immigrant drivers, advocates say. The Illinois Independent Drivers Guild says there are about 40 drivers in the Chicago area who have earned money, in some cases thousands of dollars, that has been withheld because Lyft said it received “no match” letters from the IRS — meaning their individual tax ID numbers don’t match records in the federal system. – Violet Miller (COMMENT: Obviously, Lyft should use E-Verify but does not use E-Verify.)

— One big reason it’s hard to track Illinois’ educational failures. Officials keep changing the standardized tests. – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner (COMMENT: What tests have you taken and passed? I took and passed standardized tests virtually every year 1953-1997 to earn a grade school diploma in 1962, high school diploma in 1966, bachelor’s degree in 1970, MBA in 1976, master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and master’s degree in finance in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I passed the Postal employment test in 1966 and the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I wonder how much easier have Democrats made the aforesaid tests to enable Democrats to pass them.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Will DEI End America—or America end DEI? Our future hinges on how quickly we discard DEI orthodoxy. – Victor Davis Hanson (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always used Affirmative Action to get rid of me and they continue to use DEI to get rid of me. According to them, I did not earn a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license because of merit, but instead because I benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.)
https://amgreatness.com/2024/03/25/will-dei-end-america-or-america-end-dei/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is a historic, malevolent role of states adjudicating political purity, substituting racial, sex, class, and tribal criteria for meritocracy. They define success or failure not based on actual outcomes but on the degree of orthodox zealotry. Once governments enter that realm of the surreal, the result is always an utter disaster. . .et here we are in 2024, ignoring the baleful past as the woke diversity/equity/inclusion commissars war on merit. Institutions from United Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration to the Pentagon and elite universities have been reformulated in the post-George Floyd woke hysteria. And to the delight of competitors and enemies abroad, they are now using criteria other than merit to hire, promote, evaluate, and retain. The greatest problem historically with hiring and promoting based on DEI-like dogma is that anti-meritocratic criteria mark the beginning, not the end, of eroding vital standards. If one does not qualify for a position or slot by accepted standards, then a series of further remedial interventions are needed to sustain the woke project, from providing exceptions and exemptions, changing rules and requirements, and misleading the nation that a more “diverse” math, or more “inclusive” engineering, or more “equity” in chemistry can supplant mastery of critical knowledge that transcends gender, race, or ideology. . .The SAT, designed to give the less privileged a meritocratic pathway to college admissions, is deemed racist and either discarded or warped. . .Meanwhile, we are hellbent on following their former destructive habits of using politics instead of merit to staff our universities, government, corporations, and military.)

— ‘Not living their life to impress others’: These are the top car brands that rich Americans earning more than $200K drive most — here’s why you should steer toward them too. – Jing Pan (COMMENT: I have bought many cars since I was 16 in 1964, but I ever bought any of them to impress anyone. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. My buying the aforesaid cars harmed my federal career 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 big time because my Democrat superiors and supervisors were not only anti-car, they were anti-muscle car. They held my owning the aforesaid cars against me big time even though my daily driver was a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air 1971-1978, a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette 1978-1994, and a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 1996-1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a 2022 study by Experian Automotive, a lot of wealthy folks simply don’t drive fancy cars. The study found that for people with household income of more than $250,000, 61% don’t drive luxury brands. They drive Toyotas, Fords and Hondas like the rest of us. Other studies show similar results. Customer experience and market research company MaritzCX found that the Ford F-150 pickup truck was the most popular vehicle in the U.S. for people earning more than $200,000 a year. In fact, even the ultra-rich may not be splurging on exotic vehicles. Mark Zuckerberg, who co-founded Meta (formerly Facebook) and has a net worth of $49.5 billion according to Bloomberg, is frequently spotted driving a Honda Fit hatchback. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was still driving a Honda Accord well after he became a billionaire. Legendary investor Warren Buffett is frugal with cars, too. “You’ve got to understand, he keeps cars until I tell him, ‘This is getting embarrassing — time for a new car,’” his daughter said in a documentary. . .Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey points out that for those who have built their first level of wealth — he defines it as having a net worth of between $1 million and $10 million — the cars they drive are “understated” and that “the valet is seldom impressed.” “It’s usually a used Camry or a nice used Honda or a nice old pickup truck of some kind,” he said during an episode of The Ramsey Show. “People that achieve that layer of wealth, that $1 to $10 million dollars, the way they did it is, they didn’t do it for you. They’re not mad at you, but they don’t care what you think. They were not living their life to impress others.” Simply put, they’re not trying to keep up with the Joneses.)

Overwhelming, they used that to justify their not earning job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. They hated DINKs.

Further, virtually all my Democrat superiors talked and/or acted like they were anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Protestant, and/or anti-German American. Further, virtually all of my Democrat male superiors were veterans who hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I never could have done the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Government shouldn’t have the power to discriminate based on race – Julian Adorney (COMMENT: Life is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to minorities and/or females is to discriminate against Whites and/or males. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action and DEI big time to give preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from minorities and/or females, Democrat and RINO politicians use DEI to give preference to minorities and/or females.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2861205/government-shouldnt-have-the-power-to-discriminate-based-on-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book The End of Race Politics, Coleman Hughes takes aim at the spread of diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology in the U.S. government. Instead of DEI that discriminates on the basis of race, he argues, we should adopt colorblindness as a national policy. What is colorblindness? Hughes defines it this way: “We should treat people without regard to race, both in our public policy and in our private lives.” One reason to adopt colorblindness as a national policy is that the government cannot be trusted with such a weighty power as picking and choosing which skin colors to favor and which ones to disadvantage. The government’s race-based classifications are completely arbitrary. Hughes notes that the current five racial categories (black, Hispanic, white, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American/Alaska Native) were developed by the Carter administration and are enormously inconsistent. For example, Pakistanis are considered to be Asian. But Afghans right next door are considered to be white. The arbitrariness with which these lines were drawn isn’t fixable; it’s baked into the cake. Race is a social construct and is at least somewhat fuzzy, so racial categorization means the government will inevitably rely on crude measures to try to decide who fits into which bucket. . .There’s an even bigger problem: History shows that governments can’t be trusted with the power to discriminate. Slavery was the law of the land for 89 years (1776-1865), and Jim Crow for another 100 (1865-1965). For most of our nation’s history, the U.S. government wielded its power to place a boot on the neck of people of a specific skin color. A mere six years ago, then-president Donald Trump was reported as referring to Haiti and African nations as “s***hole countries” from which we shouldn’t want more immigrants. Is this really the government that social justice warriors want to endow with the power to make more decisions on the basis of race? This point should be especially salient for proponents of DEI. Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most popular advocates of DEI in the United States, proposed the creation of a new Department of Anti-Racism with totalitarian powers to police Americans’ speech and actions. But in How to Be An Antiracist, Kendi said that the United States has “stage four” racism (comparable to stage four cancer). He says racism and white supremacy have “spread to nearly every part of the body politic.” If the United States is as irredeemably racist as he claims, who does he imagine will end up staffing his new Department of Anti-Racism? Where will he find the saints necessary to discriminate in the “right” way rather than use their enormous powers to discriminate the “wrong” way? Hughes notes that the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement fought for the idea that our government should be colorblind. The abolitionist Wendell Phillips said in a speech in 1867, “When once the nation is absolutely, irrevocably pledged to the principle that there shall be no recognition of race by the United States or by State law, then the work of the great anti-slavery movement which commenced in 1831, is accomplished.”)

The downpayment came from what earned a) working for IRS for 15 months, b) working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for 18 months, and c) working full-time for that store for 7 months before that. That money also enabled me to buy a new Corvette in 1971 and to pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728/year in 1971 and $66,942/year in 1972.)
https://www.heritage.org/markets-and-finance/commentary/scranton-joe-and-the-temple-doom-spending
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millions of young Americans seem to have given up on their economic future, turning instead to “doom spending.” Adults under 30 are moving back in with their parents at rates not seen since the Great Depression, giving up on the American dream of homeownership. So long as the uniparty in D.C. keeps spending like there’s no tomorrow, America’s youth will believe there’s no tomorrow for them.)

— Congrats on Your Retirement. Time to Find a New Job. Hit by rising costs and boredom, retirees weigh going back to work. – Clare Ansberry (COMMENT: I should write a book about how impossible it was for me to get a job that would have been appropriate for someone with my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Employers do not want employees like me who fight political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Employers do not employees like me who have sued their employers. Employers do not want employees like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate. Employers do not want employees like me who will not cover up their wrong doing. Employers do not want employees like me who will not discriminate against anyone including those who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Employers want cheap labor. In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $150,075/year. Employers want employees who help them meet their Affirmative Action and DEI quotas, goals, and targets.)

Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly flood America with illegals; Democrats because illegals vote for Democrats and RINOs because RINOs want cheap labor.

— To trace the origins of busing migrants to Chicago, start with Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz.

Officials here were caught off guard when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began shipping busloads of new arrivals in 2022 and were furious when Colorado’s governor and the El Paso, Texas, mayor — Democrats — got in on the act. – Frank Main and Tina Sfondeles

BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH & HERALD & REVIEW
— With tax credit scholarships expiring soon, Illinois schools, parents scramble to fund students’ tuition – ALYSA GUFFEY (COMMENT: How much money do/did your parents have/had? My critics/opponents have always falsely painted my parents as having been filthy rich because they sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. But in fact, my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Because my parents lacked money, I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964 to buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964. I washed dishes and delivered newspapers 1964-1966 to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966 and delivered mail 1966-1967 to pay my UIC expenses and buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967. I delivered mail in 1968 to pay for my UIC expenses and buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968. I delivered mail in 1969 to pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970.)

Liberals are preparing to fight back if he wins. – AP (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. Virtually all of them despised/hated Republicans. My Democrat superiors and supervisors wasted my career and took many big adverse actions against me. It is called political affiliation discrimination. I should write a book about that.)
