January 5, 2024

Sooner or later, Chicago Democrat leaders will send their illegals to your county, township, municipality, and school district. Those illegals want/need/demand massive government assistance. Are you ready to pay for providing them with housing, food, clothing, health care, transportation, education, etc.?

— The long-awaited FAFSA form for college aid is finally here. Here’s why you should hurry up and fill it out. The Department of Education soft-launched its simpler application for federal student aid that’s also supposed to help families get more money for college. – Medora Lee (COMMENT: Where did the money come from to pay for your bachelor’s degree? 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. My parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 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.”)

NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Illinois State Board of Elections to decide whether former President Trump will remain on primary ballot following petition – Carson Gourdie (COMMENT: Which of the eight Illinois State Board of Elections members (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) will vote against Trump and which will vote for Trump? 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.)

LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY
— 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.)

WGN9
— Migrants arriving in Chicago face uncertainty as communication with border cities deteriorates – Angelica Sanchez, Judy Wang (COMMENT: University Park today, your municipality tomorrow. I used the University Park Metra station 1977-1978 and I used the Richton Park, Matteson, and 211th Street stations 1971-1977. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, lived in it full-time 1972-1974, then part-time 1974-1976, and then rented it out 1976-1984. The HUD-promised monorail between where it was built and the University Park Metra station was never built.)
https://wgntv.com/news/migrants-arriving-in-chicago-face-uncertainty-as-communication-with-border-cities-deteriorates/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Less than 24 hours after being cleared from the Chicago police 12th District, migrants were seen outside the district again on Saturday. WGN-TV learned that bus companies are going out of their way to avoid a new city ordinance by dropping migrants off outside city limits. Over two dozen migrants lined the windows of the Chicago police 12th district on Saturday evening, wrapped in blankets as they tried to stay dry from the rain. WGN-TV spoke with Juevencio Zerpa, who said some migrants were being turned away from shelters and had nowhere to sleep. Chicago’s latest census report showed that there were no migrants waiting for placement inside any police districts. The CPD 12th district was the last station cleared of asylum seekers on Friday night, but they returned less than 24 hours later. It all comes as the City of Chicago works to enforce stricter penalties regarding the handling of the migrant crisis. Under a new ordinance, bus companies dropping off new arrivals now have to go to a designated landing zone with a permit. Buses that don’t follow the ordinance could be towed or impounded. City officials confirmed that bus companies are now trying to avoid fines and penalties by dropping off migrants outside city limits. Going as far as purchasing bus and train tickets for them so they can get into the city on their own. Migrants waiting outside the 12th district on Saturday evening eventually boarded a bus that offered them shelter during the cold and rain. City officials say there is no longer any communication from border cities to coordinate the incoming buses. According to the city, a group of new arrivals was dropped off by a bus from Texas at the University Park Metra stop on Saturday night. The city said the new arrivals made their way downtown where some were picked up by authorities and taken to a shelter and others were taken to a nearby police district where they would be able to wait on a bus being used as a warming station. WGN-TV reached out to Chicago police about the migrants seeking shelter. CPD referred WGN to the Office of Emergency Management for comment and has not yet heard back.)

— Phone Calls and Social Media Posts Drive Record High Illegal Immigration, Top Border Patrol Officials Report – Virginia Allen
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/12/18/exclusive-phone-calls-and-social-media-posts-drive-record-high-illegal-immigration-top-border-patrol-officials-report/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The modern flow of information is driving illegal immigration, according to multiple Border Patrol sector chiefs. If released into the interior of the U.S., some illegal aliens allegedly share their success on social media, or call home and encourage family or friends to cross the border and join them in America, furthering a cycle of illegal border crossings. Illegal aliens cross into the “Del Rio Sector in large part because of the message that is transmitted among the migrant population,” Jason Owens told staff members of the House Homeland Security Committee during an interview in May and shared with The Daily Signal Thursday. Owens, who has since been promoted to Border Patrol chief, was serving as chief patrol agent of the Del Rio Sector at the time of the interview with House Homeland Security staff. “When you have folks that make the trip and they come across, they’re in communication with the folks that are back in their home country or their families who may also be thinking about making that journey,” Owens said. “And if they perceive it to be safer or more expedient, they give recommendations, and they do that by phone, they do that on social media outlets.” The Del Rio Sector in Texas is one of nine border sectors along America’s border with Mexico, and tends to be one of the higher trafficked areas of the border. In fiscal year 2023, which ended Sept. 30, Customs and Border Protection encountered 393,226 illegal aliens in the Del Rio Sector. “I believe that the migrants communicate the entirety of their experience to their friends and family back home, and that would include what their experience was with whatever processing pathway they were put into,” Owens said. The “processing pathways” Owens references include the Biden administration’s “lawful pathways,” which have allowed for the release of illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. In October, the House Judiciary Committee released findings that at least 3.8 million illegal aliens either have been released into the nation’s interior or successfully evaded the Border Patrol to enter the country since President Joe Biden took office Jan. 20, 2021. Owens’ observations regarding the communication flow between migrants is not unique to the Del Rio Sector, according to comments made by other sector chiefs during a series of interviews with House Homeland Security staffers conducted between the beginning of May and end of September. When asked what factors draw migrants to cross the border into the U.S., Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez said, “It would be families that are already in the United States pulling their relatives, you know, encouraging their relatives to come out.” Other pull factors include “companies or organizations that are hiring these individuals in the United States that others have told them, ‘Hey, you can get a job here,’ type thing. I think it’s the feedback that people that are here already provide them to encourage them to come,” Chavez said. During an interview with Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Joel Martinez, a Homeland Security staffer asked whether illegal aliens would still come to the U.S. even after being informed that the journey was hard and long if they knew they would be released into the U.S. “Yes,” Martinez answered. “How else do they find out about information?” the staffer pressed. “It’s not just the cartel, right? Family that’s already come, do they call back?” “Yes,” the agent said. “And some people … wait in Mexico to see if the people they were with are successful before they cross?” “Yes,” he said. “Do you think that that has a large influence on whether a person decides to cross into the United States?” the Homeland Security staff member asked. “Yes,” Martinez responded. The widespread use of social media has also made it easy for migrants and “smuggling outfits” to use platforms like TikTok to share how and where to cross the border illegally, Yuma Sector Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle said during his interview with representatives from the House Homeland Security Committee. TikTok videos show migrant’s “firsthand accounts of which trails to take, where the border wall ended, which gap to exploit, you know, where to stay, all of those things,” Caudle said. The information dissemination has changed the patterns of illegal immigration, according to El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Good and Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin. If an illegal alien is released from Customs and Border Protection, Good says, “then that person that was released will get on social media and say, ‘Hey, look at me, I’ve been released.’ And then that creates a draw specifically to that area,” he said. “So, if it happens in El Paso and they post that on social media, that will create a draw to El Paso, same for any other sector.” Modlin told Homeland Security Committee staff members that when he started his career, “immigration flows took months to change, and now it seemingly can change overnight because people are livestreaming themselves crossing the border. They’re sending it back to—their families are seeing it. People in the area they come from see it.” The Tucson Sector chief added that “there’s not the air of mystery to the border that there used to be, because people can leave their country and then, however long it takes them, a couple weeks to get here, and then they’re inside the United States, and then they’re in Kansas City, or they’re wherever their destination is, they’re there and they’re in communication with their families.” CBP encountered a record 2.4 million illegal aliens at the southern border in fiscal year 2023, and over 6.6 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the U.S. border with Mexico since the start of the Biden administration.)

— Florida GOP Chair Censured After Sexual Assault Allegation. Christian Ziegler to lose salary and duties. His wife, Bridget, a founder of Moms for Liberty, has faced calls to resign from school board. – Matt Barnum (COMMENT: I should sue all those who tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 annual convention for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/florida-gop-chair-censured-after-sexual-assaultallegation-27434347
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler was accused in October of sexual assault involving a woman who said that she had been part of a three-way relationship with him and his wife, a well-known Florida Republican who supported the state’s law restricting discussion of sexual orientation in schools. “Christian Ziegler has engaged in conduct that renders him unfit for the office of Chairman,” read a motion that was unanimously passed by the Republican Party of Florida Executive Committee. “Ziegler has not been forthright and honest.” Ziegler wasn’t removed from office, but his authority as chairman was suspended and his salary was effectively eliminated, reduced to just $1. The party also called a special meeting for January in which the full state committee will consider removing Ziegler from his position. Ziegler hasn’t been charged with a crime and has previously denied the allegation. According to a search warrant originally obtained by the Florida Center for Government Accountability, detectives spoke to Ziegler in November and he said that the encounter with the alleged victim had been consensual. Efforts to reach him Sunday afternoon weren’t successful. His lawyer previously told several media outlets, “We are confident that once the police investigation is concluded that no charges will be filed, and Mr. Ziegler will be completely exonerated.” His wife, Bridget Ziegler, has also been caught up in the controversy, although there is no allegation of wrongdoing against her. She helped found the conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, and is a member of the Sarasota County School Board and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.)

— The Myth of the Unemployed College Grad. – Kevin Carey (COMMENT: What frustrated your search for a job when you earned your bachelor’s degree? When I earned a bachelor’s degree in business from NIU in 1970 when I was 21, my job search was frustrated by my being viewed as being draft bait. Potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got – Retail Sales Manager for the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. But in early 1971, I accepted an job offer from Oldsmobile to serve as a liaison between its factories and dealers because my Firestone job did not really require a bachelor’s degree, because advancement seemed far too slow, and because my boss had me a) pumping gasoline, b) installing tires, batteries, etc., c) changing oil and filters, d) delivering major appliances, e) cleaning the store’s showroom, etc. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me for accepting that offer, I accepted an offer from IRS for a job that did require a bachelor’s degree in business. IRS offered me that job because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.)

— Christie: ‘I Don’t Hate Donald Trump’ – Michael Katz (COMMENT: Of course, my critics/opponents deny that they hate me because I support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage and family, c) right to life, d) immigration, e) illegal drugs, f) Second Amendment, and/or g) equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Of course, my critics/opponents deny that they hate me because of any of my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years (9 of which IRS), federal retiree for more than 26 years, Crete resident for 24 years, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/chris-christie-donald-trump-2024/2023/12/01/id/1144497/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even though former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been a pit bull in attacking Donald Trump during the Republican presidential primary season, he told Newsmax Friday it is not because of any personal animosity against the former president. “Let me make it clear: I don’t hate Donald Trump,” Christie told “Eric Bolling The Balance.” “I just don’t believe he’s fit to be president of the United States. There’s a big difference between that. There’s no personal hatred on my part at all.”)

— 10 Job-Seeking Strategies That Work – Carmelina Piedra (COMMENT: If you had been me, what job-seeking strategy would you have used after my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old? How would you have dealt with that adverse action and their previous adverse actions? They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They never promoted me to GS-14 and they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13. They assigned me to audits of IRS for only 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. They ignored, downplayed, dismissed, belittled a) my becoming a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, and Fraud Examiner in 1990, b) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) my earning a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) my having worked 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are different degrees of how well you know people. This particular measure is a broad one. Asked how many close friends they have, about half of Americans say three or fewer, according to a 2021 survey. The British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, drawing on studies of the brain sizes of humans and other primates, estimates a person can only maintain about 150 relationships. The so-called Dunbar number, he has said, “applies to quality relationships, not to acquaintances.” A Pew Research study found adults on Facebook had an average of 338 friends on the site.)

— 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.)

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

How successful have Democrats been promoting hatred against Republicans in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? I should write a book about their success in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200.

— Democrats say “Why Not Job Hopping Is Hurting Your Career.” Even though I suffered a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to get me to go back to IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. That motivated me a) to complete the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) to become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) to earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and to earn a job-related master’s degree from IIT in 1997. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to be supervised by, to work with, and supervise their most problematic employees. They ultimately forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I should write a book about the aforesaid. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

Democrat leaders ever-increasingly bring illegals into America because Illegals vote for Democrats. However, everything is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to illegals, that is, to the citizens of foreign countries who they brought in. Consequently, Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly discriminate against citizens of America. Overwhelmingly, those citizens of America are Democrats who are poor, minority, female, and/or younger.

My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors forced my many Jewish Democrat superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, d) keeping me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, and e) forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, those adverse actions included a) never promoting me beyond GS-12, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Democrats acknowledge that IRS acknowledges that “Gap between U.S. income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing.” GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO intentionally wasted my knowledge of IRS. I worked 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. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. The Democrats who ran GAO kept me off of audits for all but 3 of those 18 years. During those 3 years, I worked on audits of what IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division did to close the tax gap. Further, after the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take early retirement, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives in Illinois, their staffs, and candidates for those offices further wasted my knowledge of IRS.

I do not know of any who I earned a high school diploma with who earned a professional license. I earned a bachelor’s degree, three masters degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. Nevertheless, my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois treat me like I never earned anything. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2023/09/30/trump-republicans-must-take-the-reins-of-the-illinois-gop/
(IBENDAHL UPDATE: A big thank you to everyone who already emailed me saying they wanted to be added to the list of Republicans who want a direct vote & a voice again in their Illinois Republican Party. It’s heartwarming to see so many standing up for their fellow Republicans. You folks truly get it. . .We’re still collecting names, so just let me know if you would like to be added to the growing list of supporters. We’re going to publish the list of supporters soon. We’re also going to publish the list of opponents–which I’m delighted to say is a very short list right now. Actually that’s not surprising. Anyone who actually cares about our Republican Party, as opposed to just their own selfish interest, does not have a problem with the idea of Republicans voting in their own party–just like we used to when Illinois was still a Red State. And yet there is a tiny handful, but those few names won’t surprise you. Thank you again, and just let me know if you have any questions. Also, your help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We invite any and all Republicans in Illinois to stand up and proudly lend her or his name to a long past-due reform. When some selfish old GOP bosses took our vote away years ago, THAT was the radical & inexplicable change. All we’re talking about now is restoring some common sense & professionalism to the Illinois Republican Party. It’s a major first step towards becoming something other than a perpetually losing party in Illinois.)

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/steve-scalise-struggles-to-build-support-for-house-speaker-post-99be48e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of Scalise opponents was thought to stretch to as many as 20 members, beyond the dozen or so who had publicly rejected him. Those holdouts include Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Max Miller of Ohio. Disgraced New York Congressman George Santos, who faces federal fraud charges, also said he would oppose Scalise, saying the lawmaker had ignored him. Santos has denied wrongdoing. Many of the holdouts said they viewed electing Scalise as simply extending the status quo, while others have specific objections tied to strategy around spending bills or the process used to conduct the speaker election. Former President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Jordan in the GOP contest, said he would back whomever the party unites behind, while also pointing to health worries about Scalise. “I’m going to be with anybody they pick,” he said on Fox News Radio. “The one thing with Steve, he’s got to get well…he’s got to get strong.”)
