FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge “Chicago shootings: At least 20 shot, 1 fatally, in weekend gun violence across city. 3-year-old boy, 6-year-old girl among those shot.”
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootings-this-weekend-shooting-violence-police/13178934/
— Democrats say “Chicago doctors work to connect with youth, prevent gun violence.” As Democrats take over your municipality, your township, and your county, crime and poverty will increase.
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-violence-downtown-teen-takeover-shootings/13177485/
— Democrats say that “Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson pledges to ‘invest in our young people’ at Austin church event.” Who invested in you? My outstanding parents invested in me a) by having me baptized as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, b) by sending me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, c) by sending me to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, and d) by having me confirmed as a MSL in 1962.
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-mayor-brandon-johnson-austin-events/13176366/
— Democrats say “Teen summer job outlook.” What did you do with your summers when you were young? I did yard work in 1962, 1963, and 1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes in 1965. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail in 1967, 1968, and 1969. The aforesaid enabled me a) to buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) to pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) to buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) to pay for my NIU expenses in 1969 and 1970, and g) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.

https://abc7chicago.com/lizza-tennessee-concert-drag-queen-performers-state-legislation-protest/13176105/
— Democrats say “At least 9 teens wounded in shooting at Texas after-prom party.” Did you attend your high school prom? I did not. My female Crete-Monee High School classmates did not see me as being “college material.” I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. During my junior and senior years, and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. In my defense, I took college preparatory courses, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, my ACT score was 24, I got accepted by UIC, and with the money that I earned washing dishes, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966.

MSN
— Democrats say “Voluntary childlessness has become a topic of debate.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates not only viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, they a) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about our efforts to have children and b) severely punished me for that. In 1989, to punish me, they threw me off audits of IRS, gave me an adverse job assignment, gave me unfair performance expectations, turned my subordinates against me, gave me an unfair performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, become a licensed CPA in 1981, or get promoted in 1986 and b) my wife and I would not have been able to have a house built in Wheaton in 1984, my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986, and I would not have been able to buy a 1962 Impala SS collector car in 1989. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Better yet, I should sue my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. I would focus on those who had children and/or had spouses who had little or no income and who blamed that for all their problems.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The Daily Herald is looking for subscribers to become newsroom sources. In its email to its subscribers, it says “We’re interested in compiling a community experts guide for our reporters. Is there an expertise you have that we should include? This is not a guide we would publish. It’s a guide our reporters would use when they’re looking for a source for a particular story. . .What kind of expertise do you have? We are not just interested in expertise per se. If you have life experiences — could be tragic, could be joyful — that give you a helpful perspective on the human condition that others might share, we’d be interested in talking with you.” – Dave Diersen

CBS2
— Democrats acknowledge that “2 young children shot in Chicago in 2 hours.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/2-young-children-shot-in-chicago-in-2-hours/
— Democrats say “U.S. Postal Service hiring for multiple positions at Chicago, suburban locations.” The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualitied Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I had never used pot. I had passed the postal employment examination. I had a clean driving record. I had graduated from Crete-Monee High School in the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was 24. I was a UIC student. I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. They hired me notwithstanding my being a conservative, Republican, draft avoider, Protestant (Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident since 1948. They expected me to become a Democrat, but I did not.

FOX32
— Democrats say that Brandon Johnson tells Chicago convention that “days ahead will always be better.” I should write a book about how my career opportunities in the federal government decreased and how my advancement opportunities in the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) decreased. As my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors came under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of their Republican employees, they took more and more and more adverse actions against me to get rid of me. As my MTRO leaders came under ever-increasing pressure from anti-conservative and conservative-hating Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Illinois Republican Party to get rid of conservatives, they took more and more and more adverse actions against me.

WGN RADIO
— Democrats say “Trump, stinging from a rebuke by the nation’s leading anti-abortion group, used a speech Saturday before influential evangelicals in Iowa to spotlight his actions as president to try to restrict abortion rights.” While he was in office, Trump did far more than either Bush to defend and advance the Republican Party platform.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2023/4/22/23693349/man-fatally-shot-grand-crossing-77th

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Brandon Johnson’s win as mayor furthers Democratic leftward tilt as party examines big tent philosophy.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters. I should write a book about that.

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats say “McHenry County-specific law unconstitutional, judge rules The Illinois Township Code article, signed in 2019, allowed only McHenry County to dissolve its townships.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about township elected officials and township employees who since 2000 have falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I want township government to be abolished. I would focus on those township elected officials and township employees who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them.

— Democrats say “2023 Best Places to Work in Illinois.” Because the Democrats who run the federal government give tremendous preference to their employees who are the following, the federal government is the best place to work for the following: liberal, moderate, Democrat, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, parents, veteran, disabled, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Democrats say “Uninformed American public bears part of the blame.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are uninformed. I should write a book about those who are the most uninformed. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those a) who do not read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, b) who crow that they do not read the newsletters, and/or c) who do everything that they can to stop me from sending the newsletters out and/or to stop everyone from reading the newsletters. I would focus on those who have little or no experience working for Democrats, working with Democrats, and/or supervising Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I gained tremendous experience working for Democrats, working with Democrats, and supervising Democrats. I would focus on my critic/opponents who are the following: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) religious leaders, and conservative leaders. I would focus on my critics/opponents a) who have never lived outside of DuPage County and/or b) who have never worked outside of DuPage County. I lived outside of DuPage County for almost 30 years (24 in Crete, 4 in Chicago, and 2 in University Park) and I worked outside of DuPage County for 33 years (25 in Chicago, 5 in Chicago Heights, 2 in Harvey, and 1 in Joliet).

SHAW LOCAL
— Democrats say “Belief in every student’s potential is key to good teaching.” When I was young, I was not viewed as being “college material” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had a bone disease that stopped me from running. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses in high school, got into the upper 20% of my class, got an ACT score of 24, got accepted by UIC, worked my way through college, and earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old.

CHICAGO DEFENDER
— Democrats say “Illinois Payroll Jobs Up.” Are/were you a payroller? I was a payroller 1964-1997. My critics/opponents despise if not hate payrollers. They especially despise if not hate former payrollers like me who have a pension. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who I have sued.

CHICAGO READER
— Democrats ever-increasingly glorify and praise those who broke pot laws. I never used pot and I never will. According to Democrats, my not using pot gave me a tremendous unfair advantage in life. The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old instead of pot users. IRS hired me in 1971 and promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 instead of pot users. GAO hired me in 1980 and promoted me in 1986 instead of pot users.

— The Biden admin’s new rule will punish people with high credit scores – Tucker Carlson (COMMENT: How much success have Democrats had in importing people to your county, to your township, to your municipality, and to your precinct who have demographics that vote for Democrats? I should write a book about their success in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, and in my precinct.)
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-biden-admins-new-rule-punish-people-high-credit-scores
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the defining strategic insight of the modern Democratic Party is they don’t really need to convince anyone of anything. What matters is demographics. To import enough people from elsewhere, people who are financially dependent on you in order to live. That’s the story of the state of California. That’s why California changed. It’s why Texas is changing, but it’s also happening at the local level all over the country. Democrats have realized that they win the vote in virtually every major city, but the suburbs remain contested and that matters because suburban voters like school boards and state legislators and, of course, members of Congress. So, if you want total control over the entire country, you need demographic change everywhere, including in the suburbs.

https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2023/04/20/why_poverty_persists_a_critical_look_at_matthew_desmonds_analysis_894908.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The only way to help the poor is to create more of wealth through productive action, not redistribute what we have at the moment. If redistribution, not wealth-creation, were relied on to help the poor since the 1800s, we would all still be, at best, subsistence farmers. Instead of instilling unearned guilt, we should advocate returning to the source of prosperity and poverty elimination, economic liberty.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/21/looting-as-way-of-life/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As for the street version of looting, Chicago’s next mayor, Brandon Johnson, refused to strongly condemn rioting in his city. Hundreds of “youths” rampaged downtown, attacking tourists and smashing things. But the mayor-elect seemed more worried that the little rascals might have become unpopular. “In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend,” he said. “It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.” It’s not their fault, you see. In 2020, Mr. Johnson was interviewed after looters ransacked dozens of stores in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The young newswoman repeatedly gave Mr. Johnson a chance to decry the lawlessness. But he would have none of it. Instead, he ranted against — you guessed it — corporations that make “profit.” You know, the ones that manufacture or sell things that make modern life possible. One of those awful corporations, Walmart, is closing four Chicago stores because they are losing too much money to thieves and are unable to protect employees and customers from violent criminals. Mr. Johnson insisted that the mobs of teens and 20-somethings cleaning out stores just want to be able to “eat.” That’s why they steal those yummy cigarettes, beer, jewels, Coach purses and smartphones. The same goes for a dozen looters who ransacked a Louis Vuitton store in nearby Oak Brook, Illinois, last year, making off with $100,000 in merchandise. They just want to eat, too. More and more companies are showing that they have finally had it with crime-ridden cities.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/04/21/bailey-talks-to-trump-about-bosts-seat-00093239
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Darren Bailey, the former Republican candidate for governor, talked to former President Donald Trump on Wednesday about a potential run for Congress against Rep. Mike Bost in Illinois’ downstate 12th District. Bailey was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for a fundraiser for Louisiana governor candidate Jeff Landry and was able to buttonhole Trump, according to a person familiar with their meeting. It would be yuge: Bailey and Bost both lean right, so a primary would rally Republicans to the polls next year. There has been talk in Republican circles for months that Bailey might challenge the Republican congressman from Murphysboro. Bost is girding for a fight. He raised nearly $414,000 in the past quarter ending in March, according to Federal Election Committee reports. It’s a huge amount for Bost, who has had next to no primary competition since he took office in 2015. Bailey’s story: He’s a former state representative and state senator who won the GOP gubernatorial primary in 2022 after Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association spent millions to paint him as an extremist opposed to abortion. The former president also endorsed Bailey. That rallied the right in the GOP primary, leaving Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, a moderate Republican, in the dust. In the General Election, Pritzker continued to hammer Bailey, saying he wasn’t a fit for Illinois. Bailey, meanwhile, tried, unsuccessfully, to link Pritzker to Chicago’s crime problems, though he says Democrats’ mail-in ballot efforts ultimately did him in. Pritzker won 55 percent to 42 percent.)

I washed dishes four evenings a week and Saturdays for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer of 1965 in between. That enabled me to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have all made it very clear that they never took bad jobs like I did. Either they did not have to take any jobs because their parents had lots of money or, if they did take jobs, they were good jobs.)

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 served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter for 13 years. Consequently, because of the aforesaid, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have done everything that they could to crush me.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thus far, the tragic shooting in Dadeville appears to not involve an “angry white man,” which the left is quick to blame for mass shootings, though as I’ve reported, this is not the norm. We can expect the usual responses from the libs that guns, not criminals who use them to kill, are bad. The left will call for the end of “gun violence” even as big, blue cities refuse to punish the people causing so much chaos. It’s all a ruse to take your guns. Leftists will gladly sacrifice thousands of lives to disarm We the People.)

— Democrats say “Alarming rise in youth gun deaths breaks down very differently by race” and “A closer look at the numbers reveals even more alarming trends, especially among young African Americans.” What percent of African Americans are killed by African Americans?
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/data-download/alarming-rise-youth-gun-deaths-breaks-differently-race-rcna79916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: And even more remarkable than the jump in gun deaths was the racial breakdown. In the 2021 data, the Pew Research Center found that Black children were hit much harder than other young people. Among African American children, the rate of gun deaths per 100,000 people was 11.8. That was more than five times the figure for other racial and ethnic groups. For white children and Hispanics, the figure was 2.3 per 100,000, and for Asian children, it was even lower, at 0.9. The difference in the 2021 numbers suggests a very different problem and challenge among Black children, which is confirmed when look at what drove gun deaths by race. For Black youths, the numbers were driven, heavily, by homicides. Among young African Americans, more than 8 in 10 gun deaths were homicides, while fewer than 10% were suicides. The numbers were flipped for white youths. Two-thirds of all gun deaths among that group were suicides, while fewer than a quarter were homicides. Such numbers may help explain why different lawmakers see the gun problem so differently.)

When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 (currently $37,537/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $67,046/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer 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, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious a) that I suffered a pay cut of only $21,863/year (21%) in today’s dollars to transfer and b) that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

AMAC
— Exposing Biden’s Radical Government-Wide “Equity” Plans – B.C. Brutus (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use the federal government a) to take opportunities and money away from those who have demographics that vote for Republicans (heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, gun-owners, in traditional marriages, homeowners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time) and b) to give those opportunities and that money to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats (LGBTQ, liberal, minority, female, younger, poor, not in traditional marriages, renters, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time).)
https://amac.us/exposing-bidens-radical-government-wide-equity-plans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this year, President Joe Biden signed another “racial equity” executive order mandating that every federal agency create a so-called “equity action plan” to “remove barriers for underserved communities.” Despite the benign-sounding language, however, the resulting “action plans” have made clear once again that the left’s “equity” agenda is antithetical to the principle of equality and effectively amounts to state-sponsored discrimination. In short, “promoting equity” is the left’s euphemism for using government or institutional power to manufacture equal outcomes across so-called “underrepresented communities.” Rather than creating equality of opportunity and allowing individuals to achieve success on their own merit, the “equity” doctrine says that everything from jobs to government benefits must be distributed in order to ensure everyone achieves the same outcome. If the concept sounds radical, that’s because it is – so radical, in fact, that even avowed “democratic-socialist” Senator Bernie Sanders voiced tacit opposition to it during an interview with liberal talk show host Bill Maher last month. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has been obsessed with equity since day one. Just hours after taking office, President Biden issued an executive order on “advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.” The order specifically mandates, “The head of each agency, or designee,” must “within 6 months of the date of this order… deliver a report to the President describing the best practices” to advance equity. In total, 92 agencies submitted such a report last year. While it went largely unnoticed by the media, the content of those reports was truly terrifying for Americans who believe that the government should not treat people differently based on race. Take, for example, the IRS’s report, which was released in October 2021. The document makes reference to “taxation equity,” raising the alarming possibility that the IRS – which just received funding for 87,000 new agents thanks to the “Inflation Reduction Act” – may soon move to make a person’s race, gender, or sexual orientation a determining factor in tax collection and enforcement. Current law does not allow the government to use demographic data from other government agencies in enforcement actions, but there are indications that the Biden IRS may move to change that. The Department of Transportation went a step further, promising to add “racial equity and barriers to opportunity as a consideration for awarding discretionary grants.” This plainly means that a grant applicant who is a person of color will be given preference over a white applicant purely because of their race. The Government Services Administration similarly pledged to “increase overall contract dollars awarded to underserved and disadvantaged communities.” The State Department equity plan specifically says that the agency will “prioritize engagements with diplomatic partners and individuals from underrepresented and underserved communities worldwide.” In other words, the Department admits it is conducting diplomacy in accordance with the left’s equity agenda, rather than to advance the best interests of the United States – a fact that should perhaps be unsurprising given the Biden administration’s numerous foreign policy fiascos. Amid mounting concerns about wokeness in the military driving down recruitment numbers, the Defense Department’s equity plan, released last April, emphasizes a “four-year strategic initiative” to promote equity “in the areas of recruitment and retention, promotion and development, and teaching and learning.” As yet more evidence of the disastrous consequences of implementing “equity” ideology through government actions, the Biden Department of Education equity plan touts the agency’s complete gutting of Title IX. The changes not only force radical gender ideology on the American public by hijacking the education system, they also reverses hard-won victories for women and girls by destroying female-only spaces and sports. Despite the path of destruction left in its wake, however, Biden was not content with just one equity executive order, and issued a second order on February 16 of this year. Although billions of taxpayer dollars had already been directed toward overhauling the entire federal bureaucracy in service of the left’s equity agenda, an effort that Biden describes as “embedding a focus on equity into the fabric of Federal policymaking,” the president insisted that it still was not enough. “Members of underserved communities still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation,” the order says. Therefore, Biden orders agencies to create an equity action plan every year – a burdensome mandate that will lead to more wasted time and money. The new executive order also calls on every federal department to create an “agency equity team” that will “coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and ensure that their respective agencies are delivering equitable outcomes for the American people.” In effect, these teams will act as “equity police” within government agencies, enforcing Biden’s equity mandate in order to advance the left’s mission of radical social transformation. The sprawling federal bureaucracy was largely ineffective and inefficient long before Joe Biden took office. Now, government agencies aren’t just incompetent, they’re actively working to dismantle core American values like equality – leading to disastrous outcomes for the taxpayers who fund those agencies in the process.)

— Ford Has High Hopes for Shedding Mustang’s Boomer Buyer Image – EILEEN FALKENBERG-HULL (COMMENT: I am a Boomer. I am 74 years old. I remember riding with one of my high school friends in his loaded red 1965 Mustang convertible that his father had bought him. Tuesday, I trading in my red 2016 Mustang V-6 for a new loaded red 2023 Mustang GT Premium coupe. SEE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCFj9lDyOAo I did that in part because the changes for the 2024 model do not motivate me.)
https://www.newsweek.com/ford-has-high-hopes-shedding-mustangs-boomer-buyer-image-1784686
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Ford Mustang is a Boomer, but its maker is hoping that the latest iteration of the pony car will draw in buyers that weren’t alive when the car debuted. But, that doesn’t mean that the Ford team forgot about its core buyer database when developing the new, seventh-generation car. “We were able to take the heritage that is unmistakably Mustang, and bring it into the 21st century technology, performance, and appearance. The goals were to still not look backwards, but to stand on that foundation and look forward to bring it in. And, to bring it in in a way that would broaden the audience of Mustang,” Jim Owens, Ford’s Mustang marketing head told Newsweek. The average age of a new Mustang buyer is older than Ford would like it to be. The company is hoping to attract buyers who remember Fox Body design fondly from their childhoods, not those that were adults when those vehicles came to market. To appeal to younger generations, Ford locked into a completely new interior design for the 2024 Mustang, infusing more technology, with customization options available and gaming technology providing high-end graphics. The cockpit-like interior design positions the car’s screens toward the driver with the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster able to blend almost seamlessly into the 13.2-inch infotainment touch screen. “If you think of the younger generations who personalize their technology… We brought that in authentically to Mustang so that owners can actually personalize their performance, their appearance, make it their Mustang through this technology,” Owens said. Owens doesn’t just work on Mustang. He is a customer, with fifth- and sixth-generation models in his family. He’s a self-proclaimed V8 guy who loves to hear the growl of an engine. “I’m gonna sit in those cars, I’m gonna start it up the minute I get in there,” he said. The new Mustang changed him. “We went into the studio and I sat there for 50 minutes, literally playing with the interior technology to make it my Mustang before I wanted to hit the start button. That is one of the key things that is taking that into that 21st century technology, if you will, in bringing out the audiences that are younger and Mustang lovers.” The addition of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa and an available B&O sound system are designed to add to the youth appeal. The interior is the major talking point, but Owens is quick to point out that the exterior experience has been reimagined to appeal younger buyers too. Animated welcome lighting greets customers and when the door is opened, Mustang digital instrument cluster splash screens come to life. Remote Rev technology allows owners to rev their car’s engine from outside the vehicle, using the key fob. Though future autonomous cars are a sexy talking point, Owens believes that the Mustang buyer still wants the visceral drive experience the Ford offers, taking them away from the business world without leaving the technological world behind. “You know, it’s a vacation you take every day, right? You get in the car, you feel different at five o’clock or six o’clock whenever you leave work. This is a way to bring it to that younger audience that we’re extremely proud of,” he said.)

I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had worked for GAO for 1 year. And I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination on my first attempt in 1981. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious. None of my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, and/or younger who they wanted to promote over me had anywhere near as many qualifications. So, to justify their not promoting me, a) they kept me off audits of IRS, b) they gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, c) they turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, d) they assigned me to supervise their most problematic employees, and e) they wasted, ignored, dismissed, belittled, demonized, denigrated, and condemned what I had learned earning an MBA, passing the CPA examination, working for IRS, earning a master’s degree in accounting, working for GAO, and passing the CIA examination. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

The northern border remains Roosevelt Road. The new western borders are Crest Street, Aurora Way, Foothill Drive, and Orchard Road. The new southern borders are Weisbrook Road and Flint Creek Road. The new Precinct 19 a) takes away my voters east of Warrenville Road who were added to my Precinct 9 in 2015, b) gives back the voters west of the Prairie Path who were taken away in 2015, and c) adds voters from the current Precincts 85 (Sarah Stark) and 130 (Elizabeth Tatro). In 2015, I lost the relationships that I had built since 1999 with about 250 voters west of the Prairie Path. With this proposal, I would lose the relationships that I had built since 2015 with about 250 voters east of Warrenville Road.

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/04/opinion-the-one-issue-that-cannot-even-be-discussed.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For it to have been an honest election – for Joe Biden to have really beaten Donald Trump 81 million to 74 million – the national participation number would have had to increase by over 22 million legitimate voters between 2016 and 2020. That’s their claim – that about 158.5 million people voted for president in 2020, even though only about 136.6 million are recorded as having voted in 2016, and 2016 was already a high. There is always a sway of a few million in the total from cycle to cycle. Sometimes it goes down a bit, sometimes it goes up a bit. The prior four presidential elections had seen 122 million, 131 million, 129 million, and then 136 million in 2016. But the total participation necessary for Joe Biden to have gotten 81 million votes in 2020 (when Donald Trump got 74 million) is 158.5 million (once you count the many votes for third parties and write-ins). And that is absolutely, statistically impossible.)

— We’re Failing Our Boys and Young Men – Jeff Szymanski (COMMENT: In your school district, how far are boys behind girls at each grade level? Why is that? I was born in 1948. If I had been born later, because of my terrible demographics (White, male, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844), and because of Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, because of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, I doubt that would have found the motivation to take college preparatory courses in high school, pass the postal employment examination, graduate in the upper 20% of my class, get an ACT score of 24, work my way through college, pass the Federal Service Entrance examination, earn an MBA, pass the CPA examination, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination, become a licensed CPA, etc.)
https://amac.us/were-failing-our-boys-and-young-men/
(FROM THE ARTICE: Facts. Girls are half a grade level or better above boys in all 50 states. Seven in 10 high school valedictorians are girls. College graduates are soon to be 2:1 women to men. Women with a college degree do not like to marry men without one. Single women are far more likely to own their own home, and they are far less likely to commit suicide. If you’re a young male in America today, particularly one without any higher education or job training, the statistics are increasingly grim. I reside in Central Florida. Retirement communities are numerous but no major colleges within an hour’s drive. Low wage service sector work, construction, and landscaping are the primary options for young men. COVID lockdowns and paying people not to work encouraged sloth nationwide. Some men never went back to gainful employment. There’s a growing population “unemployable” to a company and “unviable” to a partner. An arrest record. Tattoos on the face. A lack of meaningful work history. Too many young men are permanently closing doors to success. Small wonder that crime and drugs fill the void. There’s scarcely a traffic stop in the area where methamphetamine is not found in the vehicle. And the triple homicide by three male teenagers that made headlines last week took place just miles from here. But we’ve heard for decades and continue hearing that men have all the advantages. Who would dare utter that young men are in crisis? Who would further dare take up the cause to do something about it given how The Left might react?)

— GOP State Chairman Don Tracy’s Advice to Bond County Lincoln Dinner Attendees (COMMENT: Concerning #4 below, ever-increasingly, to get votes from moderates and from liberals, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) paints itself as being “Democrat-lite” and dumps conservatives. Concerning #5 below, ever-increasingly, to get votes from moderates and from liberals, the IRP paints itself as being “Democrat-lite” and dumps the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Concerning #6 and #7 below, ever-increasingly, to get votes from moderates and from liberals, the IRP paints itself as being “Democrat-lite” and attacks and destroys conservatives. Concerning #10 below, I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. I should write a book about those anti-conservative and conservative-hating IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders who have done the most since 2000 a) to stop me from putting those newsletters together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/04/10/gop-state-chairman-don-tracys-advice-to-bond-county-lincoln-dinner-attendees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Republicans cannot govern Illinois without winning statewide. 2. Republicans cannot win statewide without winning the Chicago suburbs. [70% of Illinois voters live within eyesight of Willis Tower.] 3. We cannot win the suburbs without winning over swing voters. [Only 33% of Illinois voters are Republicans; 47% are Democrats; 20% are swing voters.] 4. Winning politics is about addition not subtraction. 5. The perfect is the enemy of the good, which is why someone who agrees with you 80% of the time is an ally not an enemy. 6. We cannot defeat our common foe – the Democrat socialists – unless we avoid attacking each other and unite to work together collectively. 7. Calling fellow Republicans names like RINOs, Never Trumpers, right-wingers,
extremists or ultra MAGAs violates the 11th Commandment and will not influence or persuade swing voters and their friends and families to vote Republican in the general election. [Democrats don’t call other Democrats DINOs, etc.] 8. With socialism on the march, good government can no longer be taken for granted; and we cannot defeat the socialists from the sidelines or by hoping someone else will do that for us. 9. Politics is a team sport. If you are not already in the game, get off the sidelines and help the Republican Party and our good candidates. 10. If you have time but no money, we need your time. If you have money but no time, we need your money. If you have neither time nor money, we need your prayers.)

They blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan’s defeat in 2002. They hated TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and hated the Illinois Center Right Coalition and the leadership roles that I held in those organizations. Because I would have started MTRO to use budgets if I was elected, they brought in two CPAs to speak against budgeting. They said that I irritated everyone around me and that I was not a team player.
