I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, it was too late because of up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination )

Outstandingly, 133 had the courage to cast a Republican primary ballot in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton.

— 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.)

Sixty-three percent of new audits last year were aimed at middle-class filers. – Editorial (COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions in 1978 when I was a 29 year old $106,785/year (in today’s dollars) Revenue Officer mainly because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, but also because I had avoided the draft and because I was a White male and that did not help them meet their Affirmative Action quotas. They outrageously and falsely argued that the graduate Loyola business and DePaul accounting courses I deducted were not related to my job duties, did not maintain or improve my job skills, qualified me for a new trade or business, and were taken by me to get a job in the private sector. They outrageously and falsely ignored/dismissed/belittled that fact that the employee manual they gave me encouraged me to take the courses, the content of my position descriptions, and the reasons I gave for my taking the courses in my Loyola and DePaul applications. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

https://cis.org/Bensman/Florida-Gateway-Data-Shows-Most-Migrant-Flights-Landing-Gov-DeSantiss-Sunshine-State
(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.)

— 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.

— 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.)

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.

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly kill the American Dream for Americans, and especially for Americans who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. The Post Office hired me when I was 18 in 1966, Firestone Stores when I was 21, IRS when I was 22, and GAO when I was 31. But because I am all of the aforesaid, if I was 18, 21, 22, or 31 today, I doubt that they would hire me.

My critics/opponents not only stress to their operatives and their dupes that I get a CSRS pension, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn my CSRS pension as being grossly excessive.)

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.”)

HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— Scranton Joe and the Temple of Doom Spending – EJ Antoni and Peter St Onge (COMMENT: Back in the good old days, that is, back in 1972 when I was 24, I bought a new townhome ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/University-Park/774-Sunset-Ct-60484/unit-5/home/23344604 ) in University Park. 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.)

My critics/opponents stress that no one came to my defense when they a) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, d) ended my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, e) ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007, or f) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10167883/Nikki-Haley-says-older-politicians-cognitive-test.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden made the bizarre remarks during an address at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia. Hundreds of Twitter users accused the president of being ‘creepy’; others came to his defense saying he just appeared ‘socially awkward.’)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform and the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform are conservative.

Those who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks want to water down if not strike the aforesaid planks. I have asked to be appointed to serve on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. I served on that committee at the 2008 IRP State Convention. – Dave Diersen

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.)

The following report on Naperville Councilman Josh McBroom’s suggestion that locals sign up to house illegals: CHICAGO TRIBUNE, DAILY HERALD, DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL, BIZ PAC REVIEW, DAILY CALLER, DAILY WIRE, FOX NEWS, HOT AIR, LEGAL INSURRECTION, TOWNHALL, TURNING POINT USA, NEWS BREAK, and INDEPENDENT. Are you a Naperville resident? If so, what is your position on this?

Naperville is ever-increasingly described as being wealthy. How wealthy is your county, your township, your municipality, your school district, and your precinct? What is the mean/median/mode of their a) household income, b) household net worth, c) residence size, and d) residence value? What are the trends? In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, there is extreme variation in terms of household income, household net worth, residence size, and residence value. What is next? Will those at the high end be encouraged/asked/forced to take in those at the low end?

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP’s Trump ‘problem’ We asked Jim Durkin, the former House Republican leader and longtime party operative, about how Trump as the nominee could affect Illinois in the General Election. “It’s not going to be good,” said Durkin, an outspoken critic of the former president. “He’s a bully, a narcissist and a pathological liar,” Durkin said, acknowledging, however, here are plenty of folks in the Illinois GOP who “aren’t concerned” about Trump’s actions, even when he was “cheerleader in chief” of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Durkin’s concern: “Trump and the MAGAs have co-opted the Republican Party enough where people who had a moderate or centrist view but identified as Republicans have left the party — and identify themselves as independent voters,” said Durkin, who was the state chairman for John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008. The new GOP has been “taken over” by the far right, which is “dictating” primaries but ultimately losing in the General Election, Durkin said, pointing to 2022 as proof. The biggest impact: Trump will be a boost for Downstate Republican candidates. The big hurt will come in the northern suburbs, said Durkin. “It’s going to be a problem to have your name on the ballot with the former president in the same column.” The Illinois Republican Party is staying “neutral” for the primary and will get behind whoever is at the top of the ticket, party chair Don Tracy told Playbook. – SHIA KAPOS

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.

(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.”)

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.)

— 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.)

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-win-election-joe-biden-1857100
(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.)
