FOX NEWS
— Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson suggests Trump voters to blame for failure of city’s tax hike referendum. The ‘Bring Chicago Home’ real estate transfer tax referendum promised to bring in $100 million annually to combat the homeless crisis. – Joseph A. Wulfsohn (COMMENT: How much success have Democrat and RINO leaders had stereotyping Trump voters in your precinct, in tour township, and in your county, that is, how much success have they had demonizing, denigrating, and condemning them? I should write a book about the success that Democrat and RINO leaders have had demonizing, denigrating, and condemning the 90 Trump voters in my precinct, the 5,555 in Milton Township, and the 36,246 in DuPage County.)
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners’ website, there were roughly 37,000 total Republican primary voters who turned out for Tuesday’s primary. Roughly 29,000 of those cast their ballot for Trump, who earned 78.5% support.)

— Class Warfare Failure Reveals Opposition To Illegal Immigration – Scott Hogenson (COMMENT: From what I see, the more money that your parents have/had, the more illegal immigration that you want. How much money did your parents have? Because my parents lacked money, for me to buy cars and to pay for my college expenses, I a) did yard work 1962-1964, b) delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) washed dishes 1964-1966, d) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and e) delivered mail 1966-1969. If there had been as many illegals back then as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got. If I still would have gotten those jobs, my salaries would have been lower because illegals drive salaries down.)

https://news.wttw.com/2024/03/21/chicago-officials-slowly-evicting-migrants-city-shelters-johnson-resists-pressure-reverse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago officials evicted 15 migrants from city shelters through Wednesday, far fewer than expected less than a week ago, as Mayor Brandon Johnson resisted new calls to reverse course. Since city officials began enforcing the 60-day limit on shelter stays imposed by Johnson, eight people were evicted on Sunday and Monday, with another seven evicted on Wednesday, according to city data. It was unclear whether anyone would be evicted Thursday. The most recent evictions came on the same day that Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th Ward), the chair of the City Council’s Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights, renewed his call for the mayor to scrap the limit entirely and step up efforts to care for the men, women and children who made their way to Chicago from the southern border. “The city should not be in the business of handing out evictions,” Vasquez said Wednesday morning. “No one in need of shelter, whether they are newly arrived or whether they were born and raised here, should ever face the fear and instability of being evicted from a city shelter knowing they have nowhere else to go.”)

— How much pressure and from who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman under to dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? Since 1999, I have been under ever-increasingly more such pressure. I should write a book about that. I would stress that in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, Trump got 86 votes while Haley got only 32.

What did your Republican Precinct Committeeman do to promote Republican turnout? I hand-carried a copy of the sample ballot and Annette Corrigan’s letter to each of the 224 homes and 4 apartments in my precinct that had at least 1 registered Republican voter.)

— Is Chicago’s tepid turnout a ‘warning sign’ for President Joe Biden in November? Whether the city’s low voter turnout on Tuesday is a sign of apathy or dissatisfaction, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and key Democrats are downplaying the significance for President Joe Biden. But one leading pollster calls it a warning bell for other key Democratic cities: ‘These cities need to be engines of turnout.’ – Tina Sfondeles

AMERICANS FOR TAX REFORM
— Few Americans Want to Work for Biden’s IRS (COMMENT: Potential IRS employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised that IRS will waste their career and get rid of them if they do not make GS-13 ($115,439) by age 25, GS-14 ($136,414) by age 30, GS-15 ($160,458) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($191,900) by age 40 and that extremely few IRS employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. IRS offered me a GS-7 (currently $54,728) job as a Revenue Officer in 1971 when I was 22 because IRS could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who would take the job. I had had earned a bachelor’s degree in management and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I accepted the offer because I was unemployed. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. IRS could not offer me a job as a Revenue Agent because I had not taken enough accounting courses.)
https://www.atr.org/few-americans-want-to-work-for-bidens-irs-oddly-enough/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The official IRS watchdog released a report last week noting the IRS is not attracting qualified applicants for its “revenue generating” positions. In a March 11, 2024 report the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration wrote: “Additionally, the external applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience, which has created further challenges in hiring.” And as noted by Government Executive magazine, referencing an Aug. 2023 TIGTA report: IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. Perhaps Americans are not attracted to employment with an agency that got caught illegally backdating penalty documents and signatures; an agency that got caught intentionally destroying 30 million tax forms submitted by taxpayers attempting to resolve their taxes; an agency unwilling or unable to protect sensitive personal information.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Global shipping executive Angela Chao had nearly three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system when she drove a Tesla into a pond and drowned in Texas, according to a law-enforcement report released Wednesday that concluded her death was an “unfortunate accident.” The chief executive of Foremost Group died Feb. 11 after putting her car in reverse and driving into the pond on her Texas ranch in Johnson City, according to the report by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office. A toxicology test on Chao showed a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.23, the report said. The legal limit is 0.08 in Texas. While Chao was over the Texas limit for driving on public roads, her alcohol level at the time of death isn’t considered against the law because she was driving on private property, said Chief Deputy Robert Woodring with the sheriff’s office.)

LOCAL 3 NEWS
— A judge issued a new order that has allowed four candidates in Catoosa County to re-qualify for the May 21 ballot through the election commission. This is in response to the Catoosa County GOP continuing to deny those candidates a spot on the republican primary ballot. “If you want people to continue believing in the ability of the Republican party, then you have to make sure that they are voting in a way that’s consistent with our platform,” said Georgia Republican Assembly President Nathaniel Darnell. (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The RNC and Republican state, county, township, and ward party organizations should stop candidates from running as Republicans if they reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many candidates who have run as Republicans on ballots in my precinct reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

The platform is not binding on either presumptive nominee Donald Trump or other candidates, but it indicates the current mainstream of the party’s thinking on various issues. – WILL DRABOLD (COMMENT: The more planks in the Republican Party platform that my critics/opponents reject, the harder that they work against me. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

— Political Participation; How and Why Do People Get Involved in Politics? – Lester W. Milbrath (COMMENT: Far far far too many get involved in Republican Party politics to get the party to give those who share their demographics more preference. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time is to discriminate against those who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

— The myth of meritocracy – Yvonne Abraham (COMMENT: What are your successes in life? What do your critics/opponents attribute your successes in life to? My critics/opponents attribute my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, parents, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school and never worked outside of the home until after my father died. Because of the aforesaid, I took college preparatory courses in high school. I got and ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class. I worked my way through college. I earned a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees. I earned six professional certifications. I earned a professional license. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents are/were rich. Who bought them cars. Who paid for their college expenses. Who got them good jobs.)

— A quarter of United Methodist churches in U.S. have left during split (COMMENT: In 1961, when I was 13 years old and in 8th grade at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete ( https://www.trinitycrete.org/ and https://ilhs.org/ ), the church’s split had a tremendous impact on me. The pastor succeeded in dumping the Missouri Synod for the Wisconsin Synod. My father was one of the Church Elders who led an unsuccessful fight to stay with the Missouri Synod. To stay with the Missouri Synod, my parents transferred to Hope Lutheran in Park Forest. Since 1847, all my ancestors had always been Missouri Synod Lutheran. On my father’s side, they all had all graduated from Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. But in 1962, I graduated from a newly formed extremely small 8th grade at Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest. The church split created many divisions between those who stayed with the Missouri Synod and those who joined the Wisconsin Synod. The split ended big annual family reunions in Crete and Grant Park that had been organized by both my father’s and mother’s parents.)

— White supremacy goes back to ‘early church’: Oxford professor – MICAIAH BILGER (COMMENT: In my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois.)
https://www.thecollegefix.com/white-supremacy-goes-back-to-early-church-oxford-professor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The most egregious thing that we have to wrestle with is the normalization of white supremacy,” Reddie said. Although Christianity “was created as a movement for those who are marginalized and oppressed,” he said white leaders quickly began using the religion as a weapon to seize land and oppress other cultures. Reddie traced the distortion back to the early Christians who blamed the Jews for killing Jesus, instead of Roman leader Pontius Pilate, according to the report. “Pilate represents white supremacy, and white supremacy now becomes normalized and effectively becomes the religion of Jesus, the religion of God,” the professor said. As time went on, more and more people began to believe Jesus was a white European, like them, Reddie said.
Baptist News Global reports: That’s why few white Christians flinched at the claim that Jesus called European and American Christians to travel the globe to oppress brown- and Black-skinned people, he said, explaining that a Christianity suffused with white supremacy enabled plantation owners in the American South to see no contradiction between their faith and owning other human beings. “They saw people who are other as inferior and that it was OK to kill or enslave them for their own good.” Those attitudes clearly continue to exist and in the U.S. are evident in the rise of Trumpism, the British scholar said. Because white supremacy has been connected with Christianity for so long, he said it has “distorted the very fabric of what we call Christianity and the nature of church.” The Baylor conference is part of a “three-year sequences of programs on confronting racism in the white church and seeking God’s justice,” according to the event website. More than a dozen pastors, theologians, and Christian leaders participated. Baylor is a private, Protestant Christian university in Texas. Earlier this year, a Catholic university professor also linked white supremacy with the early Christian church in a new book, “Christian Supremacy.” The author, Fordham University Professor Magda Teter, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that white supremacists’ ideology “is rooted in Christian ideas of social and religious hierarchy.”)

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2024/02/23/hostin-conspiracy-gop-only-support-ivf-stave-white
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Good things don’t last long on ABC’s The View. After defending embryos as children earlier in the week, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) found her angle of attack against Republicans on Friday, in the wake of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization. According to her, the only reason Republicans were now coming out in defense of IVF was because it was how they planned to stave off white people being replaced by minorities. “On the one hand, they want you to not have an abortion and then they also don’t want you to have more children. Make up your minds. Whatever that means,” Friday moderator Joy Behar kvetched, keeping with the narrative that the GOP was trying to stop people from using IVF, for some reason. Before cracking open the lid on her crazy conspiracy theory, Hostin suggested she was on the trail of something major. “I think they do want you to have more children and they just not saying the quiet part out loud,” she teased. “Which is, multicultural Americans are going to become the majority population by 2050,” she began to unwind her crazy. “By 2050, the Hispanic Americans are expected to have the most population growth, an increase of about six percent, while the white population is expected to decrease by about 11 percent. At this time, the birth rate for white Americans in this country has been falling since the great recession and it’s dropped almost 23 percent between 2007 and 2022.”)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Government shouldn’t have the power to discriminate based on race – Julian Adorney (COMMENT: Life is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to minorities and/or females is to discriminate against Whites and/or males. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used Affirmative Action and DEI big time to give preference to their Democrat employees who were minority and/or female. Ever-increasingly, to get more votes from minorities and/or females, Democrat and RINO politicians use DEI to give preference to minorities and/or females.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2861205/government-shouldnt-have-the-power-to-discriminate-based-on-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book The End of Race Politics, Coleman Hughes takes aim at the spread of diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology in the U.S. government. Instead of DEI that discriminates on the basis of race, he argues, we should adopt colorblindness as a national policy. What is colorblindness? Hughes defines it this way: “We should treat people without regard to race, both in our public policy and in our private lives.” One reason to adopt colorblindness as a national policy is that the government cannot be trusted with such a weighty power as picking and choosing which skin colors to favor and which ones to disadvantage. The government’s race-based classifications are completely arbitrary. Hughes notes that the current five racial categories (black, Hispanic, white, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American/Alaska Native) were developed by the Carter administration and are enormously inconsistent. For example, Pakistanis are considered to be Asian. But Afghans right next door are considered to be white. The arbitrariness with which these lines were drawn isn’t fixable; it’s baked into the cake. Race is a social construct and is at least somewhat fuzzy, so racial categorization means the government will inevitably rely on crude measures to try to decide who fits into which bucket. . .There’s an even bigger problem: History shows that governments can’t be trusted with the power to discriminate. Slavery was the law of the land for 89 years (1776-1865), and Jim Crow for another 100 (1865-1965). For most of our nation’s history, the U.S. government wielded its power to place a boot on the neck of people of a specific skin color. A mere six years ago, then-president Donald Trump was reported as referring to Haiti and African nations as “s***hole countries” from which we shouldn’t want more immigrants. Is this really the government that social justice warriors want to endow with the power to make more decisions on the basis of race? This point should be especially salient for proponents of DEI. Ibram X. Kendi, one of the most popular advocates of DEI in the United States, proposed the creation of a new Department of Anti-Racism with totalitarian powers to police Americans’ speech and actions. But in How to Be An Antiracist, Kendi said that the United States has “stage four” racism (comparable to stage four cancer). He says racism and white supremacy have “spread to nearly every part of the body politic.” If the United States is as irredeemably racist as he claims, who does he imagine will end up staffing his new Department of Anti-Racism? Where will he find the saints necessary to discriminate in the “right” way rather than use their enormous powers to discriminate the “wrong” way? Hughes notes that the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement fought for the idea that our government should be colorblind. The abolitionist Wendell Phillips said in a speech in 1867, “When once the nation is absolutely, irrevocably pledged to the principle that there shall be no recognition of race by the United States or by State law, then the work of the great anti-slavery movement which commenced in 1831, is accomplished.”)

The downpayment came from what earned a) working for IRS for 15 months, b) working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights for 18 months, and c) working full-time for that store for 7 months before that. That money also enabled me to buy a new Corvette in 1971 and to pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola in 1972. In today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $54,728/year in 1971 and $66,942/year in 1972.)
https://www.heritage.org/markets-and-finance/commentary/scranton-joe-and-the-temple-doom-spending
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millions of young Americans seem to have given up on their economic future, turning instead to “doom spending.” Adults under 30 are moving back in with their parents at rates not seen since the Great Depression, giving up on the American dream of homeownership. So long as the uniparty in D.C. keeps spending like there’s no tomorrow, America’s youth will believe there’s no tomorrow for them.)

None of those leaders came to my defense when Democrat and RINO leaders a) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) ended my service as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, d) ended my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, e) ended my service as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member in 2007, or f) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006.

Hit by rising costs and boredom, retirees weigh going back to work. – Clare Ansberry (COMMENT: I should write a book about how impossible it was for me to get a job that would have been appropriate for someone with my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Employers do not want employees like me who fight political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Employers do not employees like me who have sued their employers. Employers do not want employees like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate. Employers do not want employees like me who will not cover up their wrong doing. Employers do not want employees like me who will not discriminate against anyone including those who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Employers want cheap labor. In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $150,075/year. Employers want employees who help them meet their Affirmative Action and DEI quotas, goals, and targets.)

Trump and I share all of the aforesaid demographics. My very bad jury appeal is why GAO was granted summary judgement in Diersen v. GAO.)

FORTUNE
— These Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employee MBAs – SYDNEY LAKE (COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, I started working for the Democrats who ran IRS. The employee manual that they gave me encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. Because of that, and notwithstanding the fact that IRS did not reimburse anything for tuition or books, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. Further, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. But in 1978, because I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat superiors outrageously disallowed the tuition and books that I had deducted on my 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977 income tax returns and outrageously argued that the courses were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, qualified me for a new trade or business, and were taken my me to get a job in the private sector. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average cost of earning an MBA ranges from about $60,000 to more than $200,000, so financial aid can be a welcome benefit for those people seeking a graduate business degree. And here’s some good news: Many Fortune 500 companies will help pay for employees’ MBA degrees, whether it’s a full sponsorship, tuition reimbursement, or a guaranteed annual contribution directly to the university you attend. Some companies even have partnerships with universities that offer specialized MBA programs or tuition discounts.)

My critics/opponents have always stressed that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, I have always stressed that all my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, that they were never in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone. I stress that if I had benefitted from slavery, I would not have had to work my way through college.)

— Elon Musk Slams US Immigration Policy, Highlights Mother’s Struggles. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis.
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/elon-musk-slams-us-immigration-policy-highlights-mothers-struggles-4997224
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Billionaire Elon Musk took to social media to voice his concerns about the economic implications of illegal immigration, adding his criticism to the ongoing debate surrounding the Joe Biden administration’s approach to an alleged border crisis. In a series of posts on X, Musk highlighted various services and benefits that he believes illegal immigrants have access to in the United States, highlighting their alleged contribution to the housing affordability crisis. “A few other things you probably don’t know: illegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver’s licenses, free healthcare (California & New York) and in-state college tuition. What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn’t pay taxes or do jury duty?” he wrote. “If you’re wondering why housing is so expensive, this is a major contributor,” he added. With housing prices reaching record highs in November and mortgage rates near two-decade highs due to the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation, the US real estate market is facing challenges, a Fox News report claims. Homebuyers are struggling, and renters are experiencing a surge in financial burdens, the report adds. Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies revealed that in 2022, an unprecedented 22.4 million American renters were considered “cost burdened” by their monthly housing payments. Renters are classified as “burdened” if they spend more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, and this staggering number represents roughly half of all US tenants. Born and raised in South Africa, Musk moved to Canada at the age of 18 before becoming a US citizen. “I’m not anti-immigration; I’m just against a massive number of unvetted people flooding into America, which any rational person should be,” he said. The Tesla chief’s mother, Maye Musk, 75, in a separate post, highlighted her struggles of getting US citizenship, even claiming that it took her 12 years to become a US citizenship. “I couldn’t get US citizenship even though my father and grandmother were born in Minnesota, and my grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, was born in Illinois. I was born in Canada so it took me 12 years through visas, a green card, a lawyer, and numerous medical tests. That’s how hard it is,” her post read. Responding to it, Musk wrote, “Yeah, it was extremely difficult and took over a decade for me to get US citizenship.” US Senators on Sunday released a $20.2 billion legislation for border security and immigration policy changes agreed to by Democratic and Republican negotiators. The new law would give President Joe Biden the power to reject asylum seekers if illegal border crossings reached over 5,000 per week, news agency AFP reported.)
