ROCHELLE NEWS LEADER
— A time to celebrate labor’s successes and acknowledge its challenges in Illinois – Tim Drea and Pat Devaney (COMMENT: I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrats GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

What offices are on the March 19, 2024 Republican the primary ballot in your precinct and who are the candidates? How far left will they go to win, that is, how many of the following planks in the Republican Party platform will they dump: individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving)? How strongly will they hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-conservative if not anti-Republican?

— Democrats say “Starbucks workers at Michigan Avenue roastery reject union membership. The tally at the world’s largest location for the coffee chain deals a blow to the aspirations of Workers United, part of the Service Employees International Union.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee. If GAO had been unionized in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors might not have succeeded in taking the many adverse actions against me that they did. In 1974, the National Treasury Employees Union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that if IRS had not been unionized, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. In my defense, the IRS manager who promoted me gave weight to the fact that I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Virtually none of my coworkers did anything like that.

The volume of that stormwater dramatically increased after Wheaton approved the construction of a large home uphill and to the southeast of my home. The stormwater drainage plan that Wheaton approved for my subdivision was grossly inadequate.)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Pritzker signs 3 bills to safeguard Native American heritage in Illinois – Zeta Cross (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that I opposed race based preference giving. To get me to immediately transfer back to IRS, they assigned their only Native America employee to supervise me. They used the performance appraisal he gave me to delay my promotions and to keep me off audits of IRS. He was younger than me, he had started his career with GAO as an intern, he had far less work experience than I had, and he was to the left of me. His superiors stressed to him that my ancestors had homesteaded a farm in Crete in 1854. While they let him work until he was eligible to take regular retirement, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. While I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980; while I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; while I became a licensed CPA in 1981; while I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997; and while I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, he did nothing like that.)

— Illinois Gun Law Forces Gun Owners to Incriminate Themselves – Dan Wos
https://www.ammoland.com/2023/08/illinois-gun-law-forces-gun-owners-to-incriminate-themselves/#axzz8BfF58c59
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gun owners in Illinois are dealing with a world of unconstitutional gun laws. Aside from the 2nd Amendment challenges to a semi-automatic firearm and magazine ban, which has gone through the southern and northern districts and is now in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, they may also be dealing with a 5th Amendment violation issue. The gun and magazine ban does not just prohibit the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines; the ban also requires a self-registration registry. Registration requirements start in October. The violation of the 5th Amendment rights of Illinoisans comes from this mandatory registration that is being put on gun owners with a deadline of January 1, 2024. The registration mandate requires gun owners to give the State a list of all their newly “illegal” guns. The registration mandate includes all “banned” semi-automatic firearms and parts. In other words, anything that the state of Illinois may consider an “assault weapon.” That doesn’t seem right, does it? The state bans your perfectly legal (and in common use) guns & magazines and then makes you turn yourself in? The 5th Amendment reads: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or Naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war, or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense, to be twice put in jeopardy of life, or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Attorney Thomas Maag, who will be filing documents in court against the state of Illinois within the next few weeks, said, “We are actually working on a motion on the 5th Amendment argument as we speak. Frankly, we’re really concerned when this whole registration period starts if it’s not previously enjoined, that, with the vagueness, with a whole host of issues, people would be incriminating themselves.” Attorney Thomas Maag had previously filed the 5th Amendment argument as part of his previous challenge in the Southern District, but it had been postponed, so the law is currently in effect. Maag will be filing that 5th Amendment challenge in the hopes of protecting gun owners from having to incriminate themselves and face criminal consequences if they don’t register. We will most likely see this work its way through the courts. With any luck this could possibly get a preliminary injunction on the registry component of this law before it goes into effect in October.)

NBC5
— Democrats say “Salary information coming to Illinois job postings under new law.” Federal employee salaries have always been transparent. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office offered me only $82,720/year (GS-9 Step 10) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In today’s dollars, that was a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut; my GS-12 Step 5 IRS salary was $104,583/year. GAO audits IRS. I was an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO as an Analyst. I had 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 had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, GAO would have offered me a promotion at least to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, to transfer. GAO did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986. Since 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates and the rest of my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid pay cut against me big time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, where Democrats control all the top-tier elected seats, the GOP is plagued by intraparty tensions as the right-wing arm of the party has tried to take control of the current leadership. Making it worse: The party has also lost some of its major donors to Florida, including former Gov. Bruce Rauner and billionaire Ken Griffin. That’s put the Illinois GOP in a financial bind, forcing it to get creative in attracting big donors. Earlier this month, for example, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, headlined a fundraiser for the Illinois GOP.)

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

NEW YORK POST
— 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.)

BBN TIMES
— 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.)

https://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2023/07/14/ten-reasons-why-affirmative-action-died-n2625719
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?)

I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the CIA examination on my first attempt in 1981, I became a licensed CPA in 1981, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. The Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. have all taken many big adverse actions against me that they would never had taken against me if I was a minority, female, veteran, and/or younger.

— 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.”)

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.
