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.

— 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.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/affirmative-action-racial-preferences-faculty-hiring-diversity-90d3e391

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.

— 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.

I earned 1 hour of annual leave and one hour of sick leave for each 20 hours that I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My working only part-time was treated as though I had worked full-time for federal seniority and for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) purposes. I earned 20 days of annual leave during each of the almost 9 years that I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for the first 3 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1983. I earned 26 days of annual leave during each of the almost 15 years that I worked for GAO 1983-1997. I earned 1 hour of sick leave for each 20 hours that I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and 13 days each year that I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997. I was paid $16,460 in today’s dollars for my unused annual leave when I retired in 1997 and my many unused sick days were treated as though I had worked those days to increase my CSRS pension. In summary, I earned almost 600 annual leave days and more than 350 sick days while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been beyond furious about the aforesaid.

— Democrats say “Tackling Chicago’s lack of affordable housing. The city of Chicago is pursuing plans to convert empty office spaces on LaSalle street into affordable housing.” In 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building immediately after IRS promoted me to a GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) Revenue Officer position in the Loop. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate business classes at Loyola until 1976 when I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1978 when I got married, sold it for a $10,000 gain ($46,645 in today’s dollars), and bought a home in Wheaton with my wife.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Democrats say “Why Let Naperville Bother You? Naperville can’t hurt you if you simply don’t think about it at all.” (COMMENT: What are your connections with Naperville? My wife and I almost bought a home in Naperville in 1978. My wife’s brother and his family have lived in Naperville since 1989. One of his four daughters and her family continue to live in Naperville. During the 1990s, I took my 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS and my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T to car shows in Naperville. My wife and I bought an Iron Gate Motor Condo in late Naperville in 2020 and we recently sold it and bought a bigger one. I take my vehicles to Naperville for emissions testing.
https://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/why-let-naperville-bother-you/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our mayor won’t stop talking about Naperville. “This City Council meeting is being recorded live from Naperville,” Mayor Johnson said, at the beginning of his first meeting as mayor. At last week’s Netroots Nation convention, he reminded attendees, “We’re not in Naperville.” The mayor was taking a dig at Fox and Friends for airing an interview with two disgruntled Chicago voters on the day of his inauguration: it was conducted at Rosie’s Home Cookin’ — in Naperville. Let’s be real, though: The mayor was also taking a dig at Naperville. It’s become a Chicago tradition. Whenever a Chicagoan complains about the proverbial suburbanite who claims to be from Chicago, it’s always someone “from Naperville.”)

We need answers,” said Pulido, Illinois state advisor for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). “These people ran for office to be our representatives, and they need to get educated number one and number two, come up with some ideas.” During the town hall a number of concerns around the immigration issue were also brought up. One of the biggest concerns and issues that was shared was where Illinois taxpayer money and resources are being used. “Illinois is spending $3.9 billion a year for illegal aliens who are present in your state The single largest cost is K through 12–it’s education. It’s the children of illegal aliens. That is the biggest cost to the state of Illinois for $2.3 billion. The second one is criminal justice,” said Susan Tully, FAIR special projects law enforcement liaison and speaker for the forum. Other worries that were brought up are the overcrowding in schools, housing, and hospitals, as well as the human trafficking that happens at the border. Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell and State Representative Mike Coffey were among those in the audience at the town hall.)

— Democrats say “Cash bail ends — but not its politics. . .Our inbox was full of statements from Republican leaders criticizing the ruling. It’s a signal the cash bail law will be a talking point in 2022 – even though the law will already be in effect. The GOP outrage: Congresswoman Mary Miller (IL-15) predicted the law “will flood the streets” with dangerous criminals. State Sen. Andrew Chesney accused Democrats of enacting “the most radical soft-on-crime policies in the country.” And state Republican Senate Leader John Curran called for a special session of the Democratic-controlled General Assembly “to properly address the negative impact on the public before this reckless statute goes into effect in just 60 days.” Sounds familiar: Republicans used similar language ahead of the 2022 election. Broadsheet publications designed to read like real newspapers fueled misinformation about the criminal justice reform law known as the SAFE-T Act, which includes eliminating cash bail. The publications stirred confusion and forced Democrats to spend time explaining the nuances of the law, even though it had already passed and had nothing to do with the election itself. Ultimately, Democrats came out ahead after the election, gaining even more seats in the General Assembly and re-electing Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, who had signed the law abolishing cash bail. What’s next: Watch for Republicans to revisit the 2022 campaign tactic nonetheless. From the right: “Democrats’ position on eliminating cash bail and being soft on crime will be a top issue that will impact the 2024 election — especially in the suburbs,” GOP political consultant Jon Zahm told Playbook.”

— Affirmative action in hiring must end – Vivek Ramaswamy (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasing used Affirmative Action to get rid of Republicans, that is, Democrats and RINOs have ever-increasingly used patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about that.)
https://nypost.com/2023/07/16/follow-supremes-merit-based-lead-affirmative-action-in-hiring-must-end-too/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It turns out we’ve been living in a strictly enforced aristocracy — one based on where you fall in the “intersectional hierarchy” or oppression index. We’ve replaced color-blindness with merit-blindness and left ourselves utterly in the dark as to how to find competent individuals to start fixing our most serious problems. As the Asian students who just won their case at the Supreme Court found out the hard way, your ethnic heritage can indeed work against you at America’s preeminent DEI — diversity, equity, inclusion — enforcement camp, formerly known as the Ivy League. When the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, many cheered. Finally, our sacred meritocracy would be restored! Excellence would matter again. A student’s intellectual ability would be valued again. GPAs and SAT scores might even make a comeback! It remains to be seen if the law will have any effect on the blatantly unconstitutional practices long entrenched at college-admissions offices. Backwards job quotas But make no mistake — ugly racial quotas and unconstitutional policies are in full effect at corporate America’s HR departments. Anyone who works at a large company understands this. Less-qualified people are routinely hired and promoted over others based on shallow, literally skin-deep metrics. Hiring employees from disfavored demographic groups — men, Asians, heterosexuals, whites — won’t help boost your corporate ESG (environment, social and governance) score, so why bother? Could the new Supreme Court ruling also apply to corporate America? As 13 courageous state attorneys general recently pointed out in their letter to the Fortune 100 CEOs, it sure does. “Let there be no confusion: These principles apply equally to Title VII and other laws restricting race-based discrimination in employment and contracting. Courts routinely interpret Title VI and Title VII in conjunction with each other, adopting the same principles and interpretation for both statutes,” they wrote. “Accordingly, the Supreme Court’s recent decision should place every employer and contractor on notice of the illegality of racial quotas and race-based preferences in employment and contracting practices.” It’s thrilling to see state officials take their obligations to enforce anti-discrimination laws seriously. Kudos to the AGs from Kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia. Could these 13 states forge a new meritocratic alliance? A sanctuary region where skilled and talented people of any race could flourish without kneeling to the woke DEI gods? Of course, the Trump administration deserves credit for starting this pushback; its Department of Labor launched investigations into Microsoft and Wells Fargo over racial preferences and representation goals. But starting in 2020, the newly energized equity freight train plowed through the boardroom of every big company. What will the long-term consequences of this practice be in terms of competence, reputation and profit? Incredibly, even the airlines announced they would be hiring new pilots according to strict affirmative-action guidelines. In 2021, United Airlines vowed to make sure at least 50% of its new pilots are women or people of color. In 2023, Bud Light told United, “Hold my beer.” Making corporate DEI illegal is also good for the companies. If applied, this law would prevent them from making terrible business decisions — decisions that harm qualified applicants, keep talented people from achieving success, wreck valuable brands and make flyers worry about their plane crashing. As the AG letter concludes, “Social mobility is essential for the long-term viability of a democracy, and our leading institutions should continue to provide opportunities to underprivileged Americans. Race, though, is a poor proxy for what is fundamentally a class distinction. We urge you to immediately cease any unlawful race-based quotas or preferences your company has adopted for its employment and contracting practices. If you choose not to do so, know that you will be held accountable — sooner rather than later — for your decision to continue treating people differently because of the color of their skin. Federal law is now crystal clear that these corporate policies are illegal. We will see whether the Biden administration — which has so loudly claimed to support the Civil Rights Act — will enforce it.)

— THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING PUBLIC POLICY: UNDERSTANDING ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY – Felix Yim (COMMENT: What public policy has had the biggest negative impact on you? By far, Affirmative Action (AA) has had biggest negative impact on me. My superiors in the federal government and my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have used AA against me big time. I should write a book about that. They have always stressed that I have always opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that is, that I have always opposed Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Further, they have always stressed that I am heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978.  Again, I should write a book about that. I would focus on my critics/opponents who promote AA and DEI to curry favor with those who are LGBTQ, liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-rich, non-gun owner, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Illegal immigration drives wages down for those who lack education and/or job skills. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly want cheap labor, that is, they ever-increasingly want people who lack education and/or job skills to take bad jobs, that is, they ever-increasingly want illegals to fill bad jobs. Did you have to take bad jobs? I did. Because my parents lacked money, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. With the money that I earned, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, I paid for my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, illegals would have gotten the jobs that I got and the wages paid for those jobs would have been much less.

560 THE ANSWER
— Jeanne Ives Joins AM 560 Starting Tonight
https://560theanswer.com/radioshow/the-real-story
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: An informed and educated citizenry is the only guarantee to preserve our constitutional republic. Each week hear from policy experts — not pundits — to find out what’s really happening so that you can be informed. Get The Real Story with Jeanne Ives. There’s no topic of public policy concern that she won’t talk about. Stop the lies. Learn the truth on The Real Story with Jeanne Ives. . .Jeanne Ives served three terms as an Illinois State Representative. First elected in 2012, Representative Ives demonstrated not only a willingness to lead on difficult issues and question powerful House leaders, but also an insightful understanding of policy. In keeping with her fiscally conservative principles, she refused both a taxpayer funded pension and healthcare. Her legislation has been recognized throughout the state. During her tenure, Representative Ives focused on bringing about true pension and tax reform in the state, government transparency, and advocating for school choice. Her opinion pieces have been published in the Chicago Tribune, The Federalist and the Wall Street Journal as well as several political news sites. In 2018, she was enlisted by Illinois families and business owners, as well as legislative colleagues to run a campaign for Governor after incumbent Republican Bruce Rauner betrayed his campaign promises to fiscally reform government and pursue no social agenda. In 2020, Representative Ives ran for Congress against Democrat incumbent Sean Casten. Her effort was not successful, but her campaign created a new momentum in the suburbs for conservative thought. As such, Jeanne started a non-profit Breakthrough Ideas whose mission is to build the infrastructure and conservative networks (online and grassroots) needed to advance conservative ideas and Republican candidates in the suburbs. Representative Ives graduated in the West Point Class of 1987 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. She went on to serve in the US Army. Her assignments included platoon leader and headquarters detachment commander for transportation units in Germany and ROTC instructor at Wheaton College. She resigned from the Army in 1993 to raise her children. At the same time, she worked as a tax advisor and bookkeeper for small businesses and individuals. Prior to her election to the Illinois House, Ives served on the Wheaton City Council, where her tenure was marked by conservative leadership and an unwavering commitment to the taxpayers’ bottom line. Her awards include Champion of Free Enterprise from the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the inaugural Titanium Backbone Award from Illinois Family Institute for her pro-family stances, and 100% rating from the American Conservative Union. Jeanne has lived in Wheaton for 29 years with her husband, Paul (also a USMA Class of 1987 graduate), and their 5 children. The tradition continues with three sons serving in the military. One of her greatest joys was coaching the championship St. Michael Boys and Girls Cross Country teams for 12 years as a parent volunteer.)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
— Illegal immigration drives wages down for those who lack education and/or job skills. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly want cheap labor, that is, they ever-increasingly want people who lack education and/or job skills to take bad jobs, that is, they ever-increasingly want illegals to fill bad jobs. Did you have to take bad jobs? I did. Because my parents lacked money, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. With the money that I earned, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, I paid for my UIC expenses 1966-1968 and for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and I graduated debt-free from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger in 1970. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, illegals would have gotten the jobs that I got and the wages paid for those jobs would have been much less.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/14/10-reasons-why-affirmative-action-died/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The end of affirmative action was inevitable. The only surprise was that such intentions went terribly wrong and lasted so long. First, supporters of racial preferences always pushed back the goalposts for the program’s success. Was institutionalized reverse bias to last 20 years, 60 years, or ad infinitum? Parity became defined as an absolute equality of results. If “equity” was not obtained, then only institutionalized “racism” explained disparities. And only reverse racism was deemed the cure. Second, affirmative action was imposed on the back end in adult hiring and college admissions. However, to achieve parity, remediation early at the K-12 school level would have been the only solution. Yet such intervention was made impossible by teachers’ unions, the rise of identity politics, and government entitlements. All opposed school choice, self-help programs, critiques of cultural impediments, or restrictions on those blanket entitlements. Third, class, the true barometer of privilege, was rendered meaningless. Surrealism followed. The truly privileged Barack and Michelle Obama and Meghan Markel lectured the country on its unfairness — as if they had it far rougher than the impoverished “deplorable” of East Palestine, Ohio. Fourth, affirmative action supporters could never square the circle of proving that racial prejudices didn’t violate the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the text of the Constitution. What they were left with was the lame argument that because long ago, the 90% white majority had violated their own foundational documents, then such past bad unconstitutional bias could legitimately be rectified by present-day “good” unconstitutional bias. Fifth, supporters never adequately explained why the sins of prior generations fell on their descendants who grew up in the post-Civil Rights era. Nor could they account for why those who had never experienced institutionalized racism, much less Jim Crow apartheid or slavery, were to be compensated collectively for the suffering of long-dead individuals. No wonder 70% of the American people in many polls favored ending affirmative action, including half of African-Americans. Sixth, there never was a “rainbow” coalition of shared non-white victimhood — a concept necessary to perpetuate the premise of white privilege, supremacy, and rage, so integral to race-based reverse discrimination. More than a dozen ethnicities earn more per capita than whites. Asians have been subject to coerced internment, immigration restrictions, and zoning exclusions. Yet on average, they do better than whites economically and enjoy lower suicide rates and longer life expectancies. The arguments for affirmative action never explained why Asians and other minorities who faced discrimination outperformed the majority white population. As a result, affirmative action ended up discriminating against Asians on the premise they were too successful! Seventh, no one ever explained when affirmative action was to apply. Blacks, for example, were vastly “overrepresented” in merit-based professional football and basketball. Yet no one demanded “proportional representation” to address such “disparate impact” despite the underrepresentation of all other demographics. Yet if Blacks were “underrepresented” in baseball, then reparatory measures were supposed to address that fact — even if Latino players were “overrepresented” and whites “underrepresented” as well. No one in our race-obsessed culture, of course, objected that white males died at twice their demographics in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Eighth, in our increasingly intermarried mass-immigration society, few could adjudicate who was what, or much less what standard gave one racial preference. In lunatic fashion, pink, blond Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren became Harvard’s first “Native American” law professor due to her “high cheekbones.” Light-skinned Latinos were considered marginalized, while some darker Italians or Greeks were not. Ninth, an odious wokeism absorbed affirmative action and changed it into something even more abhorrent — as the original spirit of the Civil Rights movement was trashed. So Americans were asked to stomach a return to distasteful segregated dorms, “separate but equal” graduation ceremonies, and racially exclusive workshops. Tenth, and finally, affirmative action was insidiously destroying meritocracy. That hallmark American value of tribally-blind inclusivity had once explained why the nation outshone the world by discarding the old class prejudices of Europe. But increasingly, this value seemed to have been abandoned. When Stockton Rush, the late captain, and inventor of the ill-fated Titan deep-sea explorer, was quoted postmortem bragging that his company had no need of “old white guys” with long military expertise in submarining, Americans realized that woke racial discrimination was not just repulsive, but could get you killed. A nation whose pilot training, medical-school admissions, and military high command promotions were increasingly adopting racial, gender, or sexual-orientation essentialism was a country headed for the sort of Third World tribalism characteristic of failed states abroad. Ultimately, the court finally stepped in to end this unconstitutional aberration, more like the old Soviet commissariat than our ideals of equality under the law. The American people concurred. And the only regret seemed to be, why not sooner?)

TOWNHALL
— I should write a book about the biggest past and present RINOs in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those RINOs who reject most if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform.

I would focus on those RINOs a) who almost succeeded in stopping me from reporting on the recent DeSantis Elmhurst event, b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) who ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) who jerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) who ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, f) who ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) who ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) who ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007, i) who almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) who ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) who ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. I would focus on those RINOs who falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican to give themselves standing to destroy conservative Republicans like me. I would focus on those RINOs on ballots in my precinct who I have mistakenly done the most to help elect and to help reelect since 2000.

https://wcfcourier.com/opinion/letters/nation-is-under-attack-through-fentanyl/article_2c455340-1c71-11ee-90ab-0faa1a7ae780.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Illegal fentanyl is manufactured in China, shipped to Jalisco and Sinaloan cartels in Mexico. It is then shipped to our U.S. addicts and many will die of overdose. Fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than morphine and most addicts do not have a medical degree to get the right dose. Fentanyl overdoses have killed more than car accidents, gun violence, breast cancer, and suicide per year. We as a nation are under attack. We elect politicians to provide for our common defense, and they are doing a poor job of it. With the help of drugs and guns we are killing Americans quicker than new ones are born. China and other of our enemies find this easier than fighting our military. “Ask what you can do for your country, and do it now while you have time.”)

— Democrats ever-increasingly promote stories about minorities and about women who have benefitted from Affirmative Action (AA), that is, who have benefitted from reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish stories about those like me who have been forced to pay the price of AA by Democrats and by RINOs. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish my story. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Sadly, if not tragically for me, that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.

I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1980, because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, veteran. and/or younger, GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.

It is titled “Unity in Diversity * Celebrating the Diversity of Team USA.” The calendar highlights “diversity” by assigning each month a highlight of an aspect of diversity. Starting in January, they are: World Braille Day, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Earth Day, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Disability Pride Month, Women’s Equality Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Native American Heritage Month and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As a white American, straight male who is the direct descendant of nine male veterans of the American Revolution, we get no recognition. Not even Independence Day. Without them and their fellow soldiers, there would be no TEAM US (America).)

— Joe Biden Wants To Oust ‘Privilege’ From College Admissions — Except For His Family – Virginia Kruta (COMMENT: How much clout did your parents have when you were in high school? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother stayed home and raised my brother and me.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-wants-to-oust-privilege-from-college-admissions-except-for-his-family
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But according to a report published Saturday by the Washington Free Beacon, President Biden was part of a concerted effort in 2018 to pressure the president of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania to accept his granddaughter, despite the school’s 5.9% admissions rate and her less-than-stellar grades. “I applied early decision to Penn today!!” Maisy Biden reportedly texted her father, Hunter Biden, on October 31 of 2018 — and then asked just days later if he could provide an “update” on the status of her application. “Going to try to see [University of Pennsylvania] Pres GUTMANN tomorrow,” Joe Biden texted Hunter on December 13, and two days later he followed up. “Had a great talk with Guttman [sic]. Maisy still in the game for regular acceptance. But must do well in class this period. It’s real. We should talk about tutors etc. starting tomorrow.” Hunter Biden relayed the news to Maisy, adding that she could potentially elevate her application if her lacrosse coach were to reach out to the coach at Penn and express her interest in playing there as well. “I also think it would help if you had lax coach talk to their lax coach. Bottom line is that Guttman [sic] made clear that in order for her to explain the 11th grade you had to show improvement in 12th,” Hunter texted on December 15th. “Which is something I think we would have all liked to know form [sic] the start, but in fairness we were much later in the app process than usual and made it look like we weren’t 100% about Penn.”)

REASON
— The Declaration of Independence Promotes Individual Liberty – ILYA SOMIN (COMMENT: My critics/opponents promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who are/were a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, and c) conservative and religious leaders and activists in Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who falsely claim to be conservative to give themselves standing to destroy conservatives. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

BOSTON GLOBE
— FROM THE ARTICLE: MERRIMACK, N.H.: But candidates still need to show they are authentic and relatable and look sincere to voters.” Tuesday’s parade had that in spades. DeSantis and his wife, Casey, walked with one of their young daughters, who spent much of the 1½-mile route riding piggyback on Casey. Burgum toted a candy bucket along the route. Scott greeted parade marchers beforehand, joking with one long-bearded man that he couldn’t pull off that much hair, motioning to his bald head. “Want some?” the man asked. One of the biggest parade contingents was for a candidate who was not there: Trump. . .Other presidential hopefuls, meanwhile, walked through a drizzle that became a steady rainfall by the end of the route on Tuesday. DeSantis at several points said he was impressed by the turnout for the parade, noting to a supporter midway through the walk that “in Florida, people might have scattered” at that point. “We’re going to be doing so much more here,” he told reporters afterward.
