— Factions in the Republican Party (COMMENT: Far too few conservative organizations in Illinois focus on defending and advancing the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Based on the destruction of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the destruction of Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), if I would form a conservative organization, the same “conservative” and “religious” leaders who destroyed TAPROOT and ICRC would destroy it. I should write a book about those “conservative” and “religious” leaders. I would focus on those leaders who focus on stopping me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and on stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid planks. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me and who continue to take adverse actions against me. I would focus on those leaders who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those leaders who focus on destroying those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. Trump and I share many demographics. Both of us are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-drinkers, draft avoiders, gun-owners, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those hate-filled Trump-hating leaders who share the fewest of the aforesaid demographics with me. I would focus on those leaders who use against me my not being the member of a church, my not attending church services, my not giving money to any church, my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)

It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, they have used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to waste the careers of and to get rid of the aforesaid federal employees. I should write a book about that.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Notice of Public Meeting RE: Iron Gate – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

High Point Investments in Aurora is petitioning for a zoning change for approximately 5 acres of land immediately west of Iron Gate Motor Plaza in northwest Naperville and immediately north of a wetland/retention area to build a facility for Sunbelt Rentals. The land was originally zoned commercial. But High Point had the land rezoned residential. But then High Point cancelled its proposed residential use of the land. Now, High Point wants the land rezoned back to commercial.

My wife and I recently received a “Notice of Public Meeting:” It is for a meeting on High Point’s rezoning petition and it is scheduled for 7PM on Tuesday, August 15, 2023 in the Naperville City Hall.

My wife and I recently sold for $235,000 our much smaller Iron Gate unit that we bought for $210,000 in December of 2020. With that $235,000 and with money that I recently inherited, we paid $565,000 for a much larger unit immediately east of the proposed Sunbelt facility. We did not learn of the proposed Sunbelt facility until after we committed to buy the unit. We now know that the proposed Sunbelt facility would substantially and adversely impact the value of our unit. It would ruin the view to the west of our unit.

Sunbelt stores outside and rents out very large construction equipment.

According to one objector, the view that the proposed Sunbelt facility would present would be “objectionable” and would “negatively impact the views of the most expensive west end garage units that Tom sold at a premium because of the great views” and “No amount of landscaping/fencing/screening can soften the views of extended boom lifts” and the proposed Sunbelt facility is “not consistent with the overall intent and cohesiveness of the entire Iron Gate concept.” He wants the land to be used for something that is “complementary and cohesive with the original plan.”

He has asked me and other unit owners to consider calling and/or emailing Naperville City Council members and/or speaking during the August 15 public meeting.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “A Jan. 6 attendee’s (Daniel Butler) election speaks to Illinois GOP’s last stand in Will County.” One could compare and contrast Will County with DuPage County. Butler represents Crete, Park Forest, and University Park. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I worked in Park Forest 1966-1969. I lived in University Park 1972-1976.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-will-county-jan-6-daniel-butler-20230805-2h7cxzbwhjg5rnkdpydne6uooi-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the Will County Board decided to send four of its members to the National Association of Counties’ legislative conference in Washington this past February, the contingent included new Republican board member Daniel Butler of Frankfort. The taxpayer-funded trip for the conference, which featured panels on federal policy headlined by a speech from President Joe Biden, wasn’t Butler’s first time to the nation’s capital. Little more than two years earlier, prior to being elected to office, Butler was in Washington attending then-President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally. Butler joined the march to the U.S. Capitol but he was not charged and he said he did not enter the building as insurgents staged a deadly insurrection in a failed attempt to stop the counting of Electoral College votes that made Biden the nation’s president. Displaying a long history on social media of propagating elaborate and widely debunked conspiracy theories — ranging from pandemic vaccines linked with computer chip technology to a QAnon-backed tale contending Italian satellites were used in 2020 to switch votes from Trump to Biden — Butler won a seat on the Will County Board on Nov. 8. Butler’s election was assisted by more than $3,300 worth of campaign mailings paid by the Illinois Republican Party, campaign records show. The Illinois GOP did not respond to a request for comment. Butler, a Republican precinct committeeman who owns a general contractor business, a martial arts studio and a cabinet distributorship, also chairs the conservative Lincoln-Way Area Freedom Coalition. He listed his campaign priorities as “freedom of speech, 2nd Amendment, Constitutionalist, Fiscal conservatism and Right to Life.” He won the second of two seats in the newly drawn 3rd County Board district with 9,623 votes, representing Frankfort, Crete, Monee, Park Forest, Steger and University Park. Even after his election, Butler expressed fears about the security of mail-in ballots being counted post-Election Day, telling a right-wing, faux newspaper publication, “I’d like to think that after they get this count done, that I won’t lose.” Butler, 58, was one of at least 57 people across the country who were involved in events at the U.S. Capitol that day and who later campaigned for elected office, according to a count by Politico.)

But they certainly, in many cases, had the same, terrorizing effect that Al Capone had 100 years ago,” John Catanzara said.”

— Democrats acknowledge that “Court blocks Illinois law penalizing anti-abortion pregnancy centers” and say that “The law, signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker last week, bans the use of misinformation to interfere with abortion or emergency contraception access and imposes fines up to $50,000.” Since 2000, my critics/opponents have ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters were full of misinformation. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, b) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, c) conservative leaders and activists, and d) religious leaders and activists. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them.

His administration took several moves this week to hit American traditions including archery classes in schools, incandescent light bulbs and muscle cars.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— The more illegals that there are in America, the more that wages paid for bad jobs are driven down. Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs want illegals because they want cheap labor. They ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that citizens of America ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take low paying jobs, that is, they ever-increasingly fail/refuse to take bad jobs. The more illegals that there are in America, the more that wages paid for bad jobs are driven down. In the 1960s and 1970s, with wages paid for bad jobs, I was able to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, e) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, f) buy a new town home in 1972, g) etc. With wages paid for bad jobs today, I would never be able to do that today.

— The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) are ever-increasingly succeeding in driving conservatives out of the IRP, that is, driving platform Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving the IRP’s base out of the IRP, that is, destroying the IRP.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/03/mayors-message-to-media-chill-00109591
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, where Democrats control all the top-tier elected seats, the GOP is plagued by intraparty tensions as the right-wing arm of the party has tried to take control of the current leadership. Making it worse: The party has also lost some of its major donors to Florida, including former Gov. Bruce Rauner and billionaire Ken Griffin. That’s put the Illinois GOP in a financial bind, forcing it to get creative in attracting big donors. Earlier this month, for example, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, headlined a fundraiser for the Illinois GOP.)

— Confronting Systemic Racism – James Edwards
https://americanfreepress.net/confronting-systemic-racism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The system in the United States of America is at war with white people and our families. As stark as it may sound, the cold hard truth is that the central organizing principle of the American system is that white people are unspeakably and incorrigibly evil and must be removed from the face of the Earth as fast as is expediently possible. It breaks down like this: White people are unspeakably evil. No matter what we do or don’t do, whites will always be evil. Our very existence harms non-whites. Therefore, whites must be ignored, denounced, humiliated, handicapped, disadvantaged, punished, and even replaced by non-whites through immigration, with the final goal of eventually removing all white people from the face of the earth through mixing or violence. It can be a struggle to convince our “conservative” friends and family that their own government, media, and institutions really do hate us and consider us the enemy. Most will admit that the government and the media go a bit overboard with the diversity stuff but will deny that it’s all that bad. “Sure, there’s some favoritism toward non-whites in some areas, but to say the system hates white people is over the top.” So, I thought I’d make a list of some questions you can ask to help them see the light. Here are just a few.)

— Democrats say “Expenses beyond tuition add up. How college students should budget to stretch their money.” If my parents had not provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969, I would not have been able to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.

She did not include that in her article but instead, she wrote that I did not like having to work more than 40 hours a week.)

WBUR
— Democrats ask “Can class-based preferences solve our country’s equity issues?” From what I see, your parents’ education, income, religion, and national origin determine your class. To paint me as being low class, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always stressed a) that neither of my parents attended college, b) that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that my mother never attended high school, d) that my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, e) that he worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, f) that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, g) that because of the aforesaid, I had to work my way through college, h) that my parents were Missouri Synod Lutherans and raised me as one, i) that my parents were 100% German American, j) that I only just barely made it into upper 20% of my high school class, k) that my ACT score was only 24, l) that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities, m) that I was a union member for almost 12 years, n) that I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, o) that the federal government never promoted me beyond GS-13 Step 10, currently only $142,650/year, p) that the federal government forced me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, q) that many high class people in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have taken many big adverse actions against me, actions that they would never had taken if I shared their religion or their national origin.

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrats say “Defining ‘First Generation’ in Different Ways.” I was a first generation student. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors who earned a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. What if Affirmative Action had only been for first generation students?
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/diversity/socioeconomics/2023/08/03/varied-definitions-first-generation-confuse-students

HARVARD CRIMSON
— Democrats say “Harvard Overhauls College Application in Wake of Affirmative Action Decision.” I have always believed in full disclosure. Knowing the bias against those who share my demographics, in my application to be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, I purposely hinted/implied/argued/shouted in that application that I was conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), draft-avoider, Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American, that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, that I had lived in Wheaton only since 1978, that I had lived in Wheaton’s West District only since 1984, that I had lived in Crete 1948-1972, that I had helped stop Wheaton from installing a traffic signal at Harrison and President, that I had sued Wheaton’s most successful and powerful developer, that I had sued Wheaton, that I had helped stop Wheaton’s efforts to legalize video gambling and selling pot, that I had led a group that succeeded in forcing Wheaton to force Comcast to carry Fox News Channel in 2001, that I had served on Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, that I had been the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005, that I had been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, that I had been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that I organized Wheaton’s 2003 and 2004 9/11 events, etc.

— Vietnam vets commemorate Chicago’s 1986 ‘Welcome Home’ parade in new book – Jeff Banowetz (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. During the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, and others used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me big time. I should write a book about that. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I was a Republican, my avoiding the draft proved that I was a hypocrite, a coward, and even worse things. They stressed that because I avoided the draft, I was unfairly able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy an new Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger, d) buy a new Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, f) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, g) buy a buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, h) get married in 1978, i) buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, j) buy a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and a new 1978 Chevette in 1978, k) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, l) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, m) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, n) become a licensed CPA in 1981, o) etc.)

— For interim Chicago police Superintendent Fred Waller, stepping in to help new mayor pays off in salary-pension double dip – Sam Charles and John Byrne (COMMENT: Since 1966, when I was 18 years old and started working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have been furious that I got full-time credit toward my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension for the almost 3 years that I worked for the Post Office even though I worked only part-time. The Democrat GAO manager who led the Democrat effort to waste my GAO career and to force me into early retirement crowed that he succeeded in getting Congress to end that retirement benefit. Now, if you work part-time, your CSRS credit is prorated based on the hours that you worked. I worked only about 860 hours during those 34 months, but I got credit for working 1,380 hours.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-waller-salary-pension-20230731-j3ggrrax3jhvjgi5qgopj6nipa-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Tribune analysis found that Waller, who retired in 2020 after 34 years with the department, will be paid more than $82,000 for helming the CPD in the early months of the Johnson administration. That figure is a combination of Waller’s prorated city salary — $260,004, the same as former Superintendent David Brown’s — and his monthly pension payments of more than $12,000 that kicked in upon his original exit from CPD. Waller, Johnson’s office and the Chicago police all declined to provide comment for this story. Pension payments are 75% of the average salary during the officer’s final four years before retirement. Waller, 61, was paid $185,364 per year when he retired in August 2020, according to records from the city’s Department of Human Resources.)

She worked two jobs (Pizza Hut and Harold’s Chicken) during her junior and senior years while I only worked one (S.S. Kresge). I only just barely made into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24. My critics/opponents stress that I had tremendous unfair advantages. I was White, male, and my parents had sent me to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools.

FEDERATION FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
— Everything Is Bigger In Texas, Including This Sprawling Migrant Enclave
https://www.fairus.org/blog/2023/07/31/everything-bigger-texas-including-sprawling-migrant-enclave
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The largest illegal alien “colonia” in the United States is getting bigger. Located just north of Houston, the massive Colony Ridge development is home to more than 75,000 residents, nearly all of them migrants. The booming but sketchy assemblage of cheap single-family houses, mobile homes and hastily constructed shacks has been dubbed “The World’s Biggest Trailer Park.” Ten years ago, the area was mostly forested wetlands. Today it’s 10,000 acres of denuded residential lots, stretching mile after mile. The hyper-growth at Colony Ridge is stressing nearby towns, waterways and, as reported by FAIR, local schools. Conditions don’t figure to improve as the developer clear-cuts even larger swaths of woodlands to accommodate an unending wave of new arrivals. Colony Ridge’s marketing company, Terrenos Houston (website in Spanish), caters to migrants by issuing housing loans that do not require proof of citizenship. Prospective buyers simply use easily obtained Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs), with no need for a valid Social Security number in the application process.)

https://www.tpusa.com/live/nyc-initiative-offers-500000-race-based-journalism-scholarship-to-increase-diversity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Diversity initiatives, scholarship programs, and admissions standards have all been called into public question following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that struck down affirmative action. Other standards have quickly taken the place of the primarily race-based college admissions standards however, dubbed “adversity scores,” these new mechanisms rate students on a “disadvantage scale.” This scale rewards students with “disadvantaged” backgrounds with a higher score, and thus, a better shot at making the final cut. Many speculate, however, that following the Supreme Court’s effective termination of affirmative action, other race-based initiatives and incentives may be on their way out — or to court.)

My application for a financial hardship draft deferment was approved in early 1971.

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Democrats say the “Myth of Merit.” According to my critics/opponents, I owe all my successes in life to my having benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted at those who are the aforesaid that because of that and because I avoided the draft, because I was grossly overpaid by the federal government, because my wife has always had income, and because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion big time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on the aforesaid who continue to take adverse actions against me.

— DeSantis Hits Back at Scott Over Florida Standards – Luca Cacciatore
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/ron-desantis-tim-scott-2024/2023/07/28/id/1128911/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But DeSantis, while in rural Iowa, accused Scott of joining his fellow moderate Republicans in the upper chamber by “all too often” accepting the left’s “false narratives” and “lies.” “The way you lead is to fight back against the lies is to speak the truth,” DeSantis said. “So, I’m here defending my state of Florida against false accusations and against lies, and we’re going to continue to speak the truth.” DeSantis’ campaign has accused the media of nitpicking the standards, pointing to an earlier Advanced Placement course on African American studies rejected by the state for being too woke that had the same required course content. Florida Education Department spokesman Alex Lanfranconi said the new standards resulted from a “rigorous process” that incorporated “all components of African American History: the good, the bad and the ugly.” Florida is 1 of 12 states that requires the teaching of African American history. The others are New York, Washington, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Colorado, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Illinois. DeSantis and Scott have attempted to appeal to the same donor cohort, with the South Carolina lawmaker seeing an opening due to DeSantis’ dwindling poll numbers, Politico reported. While the Florida governor dropped from within four points of former President Donald Trump in February to nearly 37 points behind, Scott has remained at around 3% since his announcement.)

https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/news/giant-foodservices-corporation-sued-in-federal-court-for-religious-discrimination-and-wrongful-termination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the largest corporations in the world is blatantly discriminating against white men—and punishing employees who dare to speak out against it. Infuriatingly, in our society today it’s become acceptable to discriminate in the workplace—as long as radical D.E.I. activists pick and choose what group of people is the “wrong” race and sex. Let me step back and explain…Courtney Rogers was an HR worker for Compass Group, USA when a new company program called “Operation Equity” was initiated. Compass falsely labeled this program a ‘diversity’ initiative, while specifically prohibiting participation by white men from its promised promotions and plentiful workplace benefits. You read that correctly… white men in Compass Group USA were not allowed to apply or participate. The program was only available to “women” and “people of color.” Even though she is not a white man herself, this blatant discrimination didn’t sit right with Courtney. She expressed her concerns and requested an accommodation, so that she would not be required to work on this new program. The initiative directly conflicted with her sincere religious beliefs holding that all people, regardless of race or gender, are created equal and should be treated fairly… just as our Constitution promises to all Americans. Courtney was assured by a manager that there would be no retaliation against her, and that she could be assigned different responsibilities……and yet within weeks, that very same manager terminated her. He had assured Courtney that she was doing excellent work, but the termination letter that Compass sent her said that she was being terminated for “unsatisfactory performance.” We’ve taken on Courtney’s lawsuit to get justice following her clearly wrongful termination and we’ll need your help in this critical battle. Compass Group has unlimited resources to fight our lawsuit. With your generous support, we must send a message to Compass Group—that they won’t get away with this discrimination.)

I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980.

THOMAS MORE SOCIETY
— Pro-Life Pregnancy Help Ministries Sue Illinois Attorney General Over SB 1909 – Tom Ciesielka
https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/news/pro-life-pregnancy-help-ministries-sue-illinois-attorney-general-over-sb-1909
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Today, Thomas More Society attorneys filed a federal lawsuit against Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, seeking to stop him from enforcing Illinois Senate Bill 1909, a measure drafted by Raoul’s office that declares the pro-life speech of the state’s life pregnancy help ministries to be a “deceptive business practice.” Thomas More Society is representing NIFLA, a national pregnancy help center network, along with several Illinois pregnancy help centers and pro-life organizations. “This law is a blatant attempt to chill and silence pro-life speech under the guise of ‘consumer protection,’” explained Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President and Head of Litigation, and a former Illinois State Legislator. “Pregnancy help ministries provide real options and assistance to women and families in need, but instead of the praise they deserve, pro-abortion politicians are targeting these ministries with $50,000 fines and injunctions solely because of their pro-life viewpoint.” The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division, seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction against SB 1909. If temporary and preliminary injunctions are granted, they would prevent the law from being enforced while the case makes its way through the court system. “The state government has completely overstepped the bounds of any logical and relevant authority by inserting insane partisan politics into their governing bodies and attempting to trample the First Amendment rights of those with whom they disagree,” said Thomas Glessner, President of NIFLA. “There is no basis for their blatant attacks on pregnancy centers, who provide all of their services for free for women and their families throughout Illinois. They do so out of their deeply held beliefs of caring for one another and exhibiting human decency and compassion for those in need, something the leaders of Illinois are completely clueless about. This attempt to deny mothers their constitutional right to choose life is disgraceful and should be an embarrassment to the people of Illinois.” Under this new revision to the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, the state seeks to curtail the speech of pro-life organizations by illegally targeting their efforts to “dissuade pregnant [women] from considering abortion care.” It also faults pro-life organizations for “pay[ing] for advertising… that is intended to attract consumers to their organizations and away from medical providers that offer” abortions, accusing the pro-life organizations of providing misleading information “overstating the risks associated with abortion.” Yet, Breen asserts, and as the filing states, that all of the abortion-related information provided by these pro-life centers and organizations is backed by scientific research. “In addition to being unconstitutional and extremely prejudicial,” added Breen, “state officials have not had cause to take legal action against pregnancy help centers, using the tools of the law that were already available.” This lawsuit, Breen stated, has been filed to protect the right of pro-life pregnancy help centers and sidewalk counselors across Illinois to continue their meaningful and important work of providing compassionate and competent advice, care, and support to thousands of women across Illinois facing unplanned pregnancies. Breen observed that the instigation of the new law, backed by Raoul, is completely without rationale or provocation. The Illinois Attorney General’s Office has not been able to provide any hard evidence that pregnancy help centers engage in so-called “deceptive practices.” According to Freedom of Information Act documents obtained from Raoul’s office, Breen shared that “the Attorney General has received zero complaints from members of the public against an Illinois Pregnancy Help Center for alleged violations of the Deceptive Business Practices Act.” Breen also testified before the Illinois House Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee, which voted to advance SB 1909, despite receiving more than 17,000 witness slips from voters opposing the bill and only a little over 3,000 supporting it. Read the Complaint, seeking Temporary Restraining Order and Permanent Injunction from the State of Illinois’ just enacted Senate Bill 1909, filed on July 27, 2023, in the United States District Court – Northern District of Illinois Western Division, by Thomas More Society attorneys on behalf of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Women’s Pregnancy Services, Rockford Family Initiative, Relevant Pregnancy Options Center, and Pro-Life Action League, in NIFLA, et al. v. Kwame Raoul here. Read about the testimony of Peter Breen in opposition to Illinois Senate Bill 1909 given before the Illinois House Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee on April 25, 2023, here.)

FOX NEWS
— These Republicans have met qualifications for the first GOP presidential debate. Seven Republicans have met RNC requirements to make the debate stage. – Kyle Morris (COMMENT: What criteria do the leaders of the following use to select candidates to encourage run: Illinois Republican Party (IRP), your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township/ward party organization? Do they use relevant work experience, relevant professional certifications and licenses, and relevant education? I should write about past and present leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my qualifications the most. 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. 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 passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I have four other job-related professional certifications (Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant). I became a licensed CPA. I have four job-related college degrees (management-BS NIU, business-MBA Loyola, accounting-MS DePaul, and finance-MS IIT).
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-met-qualifications-first-gop-presidential-debate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To make the stage, candidates are required to reach 1% in three national polls, or 1% in two national polls and two state-specific polls from the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. The polls must also be recognized by the RNC and must be conducted on or after July 1. Additionally, to reach the debate stage, candidates must have 40,000 unique donors to their campaign committee (or exploratory committee), with “at least 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20+ states and/or territories,” according to the RNC criteria.)

FROM NATIONAL CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

THE HILL
— Democrats say “Republicans to be more selective in choosing Senate candidates in 2024.” The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have not selected me to be a candidate for any elected office. More than that, they have viciously discouraged me from even thinking about running for any elected office. More than that, MTRO leaders a) viciously worked against my bid to be selected to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019 and b) viciously defeated me (69 votes to my 13 votes) when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. More than that, they ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the fact that a) 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, b) I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) I became a licensed CPA and a Certified Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant, d) I served as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) I served on many MTRO fundraising committees, f) I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, g) I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, h) I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, i) I served as a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, j) I served as a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007, k) I serve as a member of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board 2001-2004, and l) I served as a member of the Milton Township Cemetery Authority 2001-2004. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I caused all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Democrats say “Mayor Adams pushes newsroom diversity with scholarships for NYC students.” To discredit me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I do not have a degree in journalism, that I am conservative, that I am Republican, and that no one has paid me for what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. They hint/imply/argue/shout that to be a journalist, you must have a degree in journalism, you must be liberal/moderate, you must be a Democrat, and you must get paid for what you do. In my defense, I worked for GAO as an analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,132-$142,650/year. Much of what GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The city’s second African-American mayor, and the first in more than a generation, said the press was picking on him because he was Black. “I’m a Black man that’s the mayor, but my story is being interpreted by people who don’t look like me,” Adams said at the time, before launching a rant about newsroom diversity. The lecture didn’t go over well with editors and reporters, who wondered about the thickness of Adams’ skin. . .Adams on Friday announced a new scholarship Initiative to increase diversity in journalism that will commit at least $500,000 in one year for students of color in New York City to emulate the people they read online and in the newspapers and see on TV.)

ATLANTA NEWS FIRST
— Democrats say “Notable Black restaurant owner gives scholarships to HBCU students.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always stressed that I never got any scholarships. They stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT score was only 24. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree and three graduate degrees. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA.

FORBES
— A Democrat says “Reverse Discrimination Against White Job Applicants And Employees” and asks “Or Is It Racial Equity?” To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and/or citizens of foreign countries is to discriminate against those who are White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, and/or citizens of America. I should write a book about that.

ATLANTIC
— Democrats acknowledge that “Liberal Suburbs Have Their Own Border Wall. Residents of rich blue towns talk about inclusion, but their laws do the opposite.” As more and more and more Democrats move in, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton get more and more and more liberal. As someone who has lived in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978, I should write a book about that.

DAILY BEAST
— Democrats say “Anti-Woke GOP Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Can Thank Affirmative Action for His Success. He’s called race-based college admissions “a cancer,” but a Soros family fellowship for children of immigrants helped him accrue wealth as a grad student.” In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action along with Republican-led budget cuts to force me to take their early retirement “offer” and to give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.

Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.
