— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) stressed that none of my classmates were minorities and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my graduating from Crete-Monee High School in 1966 gave me extreme unfair advantages in life. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on how much education and money their parents had/have. I would focus on the high school they graduated from. I would focus on the demographics of their classmates. I would focus on their class rank. I would focus on their ACT/SAT score. I would focus on their success in life relative to their classmates.)

For how much money will they work? Beyond overwhelmingly, unfilled jobs are bad jobs. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. Employers want cheap labor.

With the money that I earned washing dishes part-time, I was able to buy a new car in 1966 when I was 17 years old. With the money that I earned delivering mail part-time, I was able to pay for my colleges expenses 1966-1970 and buy new cars in 1967 and 1968.)

The Veterans Preference Act entitles preference to veterans for jobs in the federal government.” While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency shank from more than 6,000 employees to less than 3,000 employees. But its many employees who were veterans were specifically protected from suffering any adverse impact from that.)

Because of the aforesaid, my father had lots less money and I had to buy my own cars and work my way through college.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One horrific example comes from Urbana, where just 3.5 percent of Black students are grade proficient in reading and 1.1 percent of Black students are proficient in mathematics. At the same time, 7.2 percent of Hispanic students are proficient in reading and 3.9 percent are proficient in mathematics. White and Asian students in Urbana scored at a higher level, but are nothing to brag about. Far more than half the students in both groups failed to show grade proficiency in both reading and math. Just 23.8 percent of White students and 26.5 percent of Asian students achieved at grade level in reading. In math, only 21.5 percent of White students and 31.6 percent of Asian students are grade proficient.)

Initially, they were mainly WWII veterans, then Korean War veterans, and then Vietnam War veterans. My Firestone Stores boss 1970-1972 was a veteran.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/11/10/america-celebrates-its-veterans-population-younger-more-diverse-and-shrinking.html
(COMMENT: As the U.S. celebrates its veterans this weekend, holding parades, illuminating buildings and laying wreaths to honor those who served, the population it celebrates is changing, as the number of World War II, Korean War and even Vietnam War veterans dwindles. A new report from the Pew Research Center notes that those who have served since the first Persian Gulf War now make up 43% of America’s 18 million veterans, or 7.8 million people. The group eclipsed veterans from the Vietnam era in 2016; Vietnam vets today make up just 30%, or 5.6 million, of the veteran population.)

While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats and most of them veterans and at times virtually all of them were veterans. To turn veterans against me, my Democrat superiors stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student deferments 1966-1970 and with a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if I had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc., b) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, 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, etc. c) buy a new town home in University Park 1972, buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, d) get married in 1978 and buy a home in Wheaton with my wife in 1978, e) get promoted to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974, and f) go on vacations to Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaca 1969-1976. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors and supervisors who were veterans and who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

November 3, 2023

Democrat and RINO elected officials ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration. Sooner or later, illegal immigration will harm everyone in America big time. The lower that your income is, the sooner and more that you will be harmed. Illegal immigration will not slow down, let alone stop, until voters elect Republicans, that is, elect candidates who support the immigration plank in the Republican Party platform and will require E-Verify for all employment.

— Democrats quietly move to succeed Biden – Alex Thompson (COMMENT: What do you say to those in Illinois who claim to be conservative and/or Republican, but who give Pritzker a big pass because they fear a) that he will be America’s next President and b) that he would destroy them?)
https://www.axios.com/2023/11/02/democrats-quiet-campaign-succeed-biden-2024-president-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and California Rep. Ro Khanna have traveled to New Hampshire in recent months — and Khanna returned this week to debate GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. . .Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Pritzker all recently launched national political groups — “Fight Like Hell PAC,” “Campaign for Democracy,” and “Think Big America,” respectively. Newsom’s group has focused on gun safety while Whitmer and Pritzker’s groups have honed in on abortion rights. . .In October, Pritzker, 58, launched Think Big America, a group that’s using his wealth to fund abortion rights ballot measures across the country. Pritzker, a billionaire businessman, personally gave $750,000 and Think Big America gave $250,000 to support Ohio’s Issue 1 amendment, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and is on the ballot in next week’s election. Think Big America also donated $1 million to Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, which is behind an abortion-rights ballot measure, a Think Big spokesperson told Axios. Pritzker also landed the Democratic convention for Chicago; he and his allies are raising money for it.)

My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious a) that I could afford to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976 and b) that my wife and I could afford to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/1017-E-Harrison-Ave-60187/home/18135528 ) in 1978.

— Democrats have an antisemitism problem on the far left. Just as Donald Trump exposed a dark and ugly underbelly of the far right, the Hamas attacks have exposed a dark and ugly underbelly on the far left, S.E. Cupp writes. – S. E. Cupp (COMMENT: Many of my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates acted like they were anti-Semites. They acted like they did not want to supervise, work with, and/or work for Jews. Because I am conservative, Republican, White, and male, they were beyond dumbfounded when in 1989, when I was 41 years old, volunteered to work for the office’s highest profile Jewish employee, a liberal Democrat female GS-15 (currently $152,527-$183,500/year). She managed the office’s audits of federal financial industry regulators. Beyond being Jewish, they did not want to supervise, work with, or work for her because she put them to shame because she had earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and she had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. On top of that, she was very demanding, young, attractive, and wealthy. Because I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, I was not intimidated by her many accomplishments. But they believed that she had been unfairly promoted over them because of her demographics. They were further dumbfounded when I got her appointed to serve on the board of directors of IIT’s graduate financial markets and trading program in 1992. While I worked for her, a) I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and b) completed 16 graduate evening courses and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my other two Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors, both of whom were Jewish (one a Senior Executive Service member, currently $183,500/year, and the other a GS-15 male) succeeded in forcing her a) to play a very big role in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) to give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The governor said bringing people together is possible when government helps people succeed. “It actually brings people together if you can make it easier for people to raise their family, save for retirement, send their kids to college, buy a house. If we can make it just a little bit easier for people, I think that brings the temperature down.” The one issue that will always divide: Abortion rights, Pritzker said. “We’re just not going to come together” on that, he said. Pritzker’s kumbaya “didn’t last long,” reports the Tribune’s Rick Pearson and Jeremy Gorner. Soon after his remarks, the Democratic Governors Association sent out a fundraising email from Pritzker in which he wrote: “GOP radicals are working night and day to enact an extremist Republican agenda” to curb abortion, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, fighting gun safety and pushing discrimination and book bans.”

— Middle East off the table in Springfield – SHIA KAPOS
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/10/23/whats-off-the-table-in-springfield-00122973
(FROM THE ARTICLE: RESOLUTION REPOSE: State lawmakers aren’t expected to vote on any resolutions related to the Middle East during the veto session that starts this week. Taking a position: Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon, both Democrats, are taking the view that state lawmakers should focus on state issues — not what’s happening in another part of the world. Critics, of course, say silence speaks louder than words. Behind the scenes: Welch and Harmon have privately indicated to lawmakers they won’t call any resolutions on the issue. They know that allowing a pro-Israel resolution to pop up would prompt a pro-Palestinian resolution to follow, and vice versa, which could create party chaos as Democrats are split on the issue. The logic: Harmon and Welch want to avoid a repeat of what happened in the Chicago City Council earlier this month that saw rowdy members of the public kicked out of the chambers and aldermen leaving the building in order to avoid going on the record on a resolution supporting Israel. Not to be deterred: Republican Rep. Brad Halbrook and Senate Minority Leader Tony McCombie have offered up resolutions condemning the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel. But with Democrats in charge, those measures aren’t likely to see the light of day.)

— To keep their jobs and to get promoted, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on destroying their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, and especially those who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. By way of dramatic contrast, to keep my job and to get promoted, I focused on a) doing my job, b) maintaining and improving my job skills by earning job-related college degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license, and c) being active in job-related professional associations. I earned job-related college degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48.

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. Anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout a) that all the jobs that you had were bad jobs, b) that you did not get better jobs because of you had many serious faults and shortcomings, c) that you were nevertheless grossly overpaid, and d) that they would never stoop to take the jobs that you took. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on the jobs that they had, how they got those jobs, and why they got those jobs. From what I see, the wealthier that your parents are, the better the jobs that you can get. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant and never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, almost always worked second jobs (playing the piano, delivering eggs, working in an A&W) to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

Quinn (COMMENT: Based on the many big adverse actions that anti-conservative leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have taken against me since 2000, it is obvious that they would never have appointed me to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Highland councilman is expected to be stripped of his precinct committee position after publicly endorsing the town’s Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate in the upcoming general election. Lake County Republican Chairman and Congressional candidate Randy Niemeyer confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be removing Highland Councilman Mark Schocke, R-3, from the precinct committee after Schocke appeared in a campaign mailer endorsing current Highland Clerk-Treasurer Mark Herak. Herak is running against Republican Kathy Camp-Burke. Because Schocke was appointed to the precinct, he can be removed at the County Chair’s discretion and not go through a hearing process as an elected committeeman would, Niemeyer said. He said he hadn’t executed the order as of Wednesday afternoon, but only because he hadn’t had the chance. Niemeyer said his decision to remove Schocke isn’t personal; it’s just that he has a party to protect.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20231021/it-may-be-that-the-only-solution-to-house-chaos-is-true-cooperation-between-parties
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight Republicans forced the current crisis in the House when they engineered the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 5. But Democrats, remember, are not blameless. Any reasonably informed observer could have foreseen that when a small cabal of extremists managed to depose their party’s leader with no plan for a successor and no likely option waiting in the wings, trouble lurked for the entire body. The GOP chaos may have provided a few temporary partisan chuckles for Democrats, not one of whom lifted a finger to try to rescue McCarthy, but the situation facing the country now is not at all funny.)

— A Migrant Windfall: Nine Grand Each for Housing in Chicago. Biden demands loans and credit cards for illegals – so much for sustainable. – Joe Schaeffer
https://www.libertynation.com/a-migrant-windfall-nine-grand-each-for-housing-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Americans struggle mightily to cope with the buckling effects of inflation on food, gasoline, and other necessities, the benefits for illegal migrant newcomers keep piling up. The state of Illinois is funding temporary housing for migrants, providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over six months. How many Americans could use a $9,000 housing stipend right about now? “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” Cristina Pacione-Zayas, chief of staff to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, told the Chicago’s Fox 32 TV station October 13. As is so often the case, Democrat notions of the “ideal” results of their feckless policies are failing to materialize. In New York City, where illegal migrants have become a crushing burden on the blue-run government, the new arrivals are simply not working. . .Chicago Democrats are starting to realize that their empty platitudes about welcoming the world to America are unaffordable, something any responsible adult should have realized from the beginning.)
