Because of that, the Democrats and RINOs who run Congress will ever-increasingly print more money, that is, drive up the national debt, to pay for housing, feeding, clothing, giving medical care to, educating, employing, etc. more and more and more illegals. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Pritzker will “offer” the leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district lots of that money, that is, Pritzker will force them to take lots of that money to support illegals in your county, township, municipality, and school district.)

— Nikki Haley Targets Elderly Politicians Who ‘Refuse To Give Up Power’ (COMMENT: My critics/opponents promote “up-or-out,” except, of course, when “up-or-out” impacts them personally. My critics/opponents demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an unmitigated failure because I never made GS-14 (currently $129,732-$168,569/year), that I dd not make GS-13 (currently $109,732-$142,650/year) until I was 38, and that I did not make GS-12 (currently $92,279-$119,964/year) until I was 25.

But are they, and if they are, how long will they be happy? I could tolerate the bad jobs that I had because I anticipated/expected that I would be moving up the ladder because I had a) earned a high school diploma when I was 17 in 1966, b) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, c) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, d) earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and e) became a licensed CPA when I was 32. To keep illegals happy, anticipate that employers will ever-increasingly replace their Republican employees with illegals.)

— 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.)

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.

— Factions in the Republican Party (COMMENT: Far too few conservative organizations in Illinois focus on defending and advancing the 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) planks in the Republican Party platform. Based on the destruction of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and the destruction of Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), if I would form a conservative organization, the same “conservative” and “religious” leaders who destroyed TAPROOT and ICRC would destroy it. I should write a book about those “conservative” and “religious” leaders. I would focus on those leaders who focus on stopping me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and on stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid planks. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me and who continue to take adverse actions against me. I would focus on those leaders who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those leaders who focus on destroying those like me who do not share their hatred against Trump. Trump and I share many demographics. Both of us are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-drinkers, draft avoiders, gun-owners, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those hate-filled Trump-hating leaders who share the fewest of the aforesaid demographics with me. I would focus on those leaders who use against me my not being the member of a church, my not attending church services, my not giving money to any church, my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)

I would focus on those who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— Democrats ask “Should there be an age limit to hold elected office?” Democrats run the federal government. Constructively, they have the following age limits for federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran: 25 for GS-12 ($92,279/year), 30 for GS-13 ($109,732/year), 35 for GS-14 ($129,671/year), and 40 for GS-15 ($152,527/year). That is, they waste the careers of and they get rid of federal employees who Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, they have used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to waste the careers of and to get rid of the aforesaid federal employees. I should write a book about that.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Notice of Public Meeting RE: Iron Gate – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

High Point Investments in Aurora is petitioning for a zoning change for approximately 5 acres of land immediately west of Iron Gate Motor Plaza in northwest Naperville and immediately north of a wetland/retention area to build a facility for Sunbelt Rentals. The land was originally zoned commercial. But High Point had the land rezoned residential. But then High Point cancelled its proposed residential use of the land. Now, High Point wants the land rezoned back to commercial.

My wife and I recently received a “Notice of Public Meeting:” It is for a meeting on High Point’s rezoning petition and it is scheduled for 7PM on Tuesday, August 15, 2023 in the Naperville City Hall.

My wife and I recently sold for $235,000 our much smaller Iron Gate unit that we bought for $210,000 in December of 2020. With that $235,000 and with money that I recently inherited, we paid $565,000 for a much larger unit immediately east of the proposed Sunbelt facility. We did not learn of the proposed Sunbelt facility until after we committed to buy the unit. We now know that the proposed Sunbelt facility would substantially and adversely impact the value of our unit. It would ruin the view to the west of our unit.

Sunbelt stores outside and rents out very large construction equipment.

According to one objector, the view that the proposed Sunbelt facility would present would be “objectionable” and would “negatively impact the views of the most expensive west end garage units that Tom sold at a premium because of the great views” and “No amount of landscaping/fencing/screening can soften the views of extended boom lifts” and the proposed Sunbelt facility is “not consistent with the overall intent and cohesiveness of the entire Iron Gate concept.” He wants the land to be used for something that is “complementary and cohesive with the original plan.”

He has asked me and other unit owners to consider calling and/or emailing Naperville City Council members and/or speaking during the August 15 public meeting.

My father lived in Crete from 1922 until he died in 1969. My mother lived in Crete from 1945 until she died in 2016. My brother lived in Crete from 1953 until he died in 2022.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) are ever-increasingly succeeding in driving conservatives out of the IRP, that is, driving platform Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving Republicans out of the IRP, that is, driving the IRP’s base out of the IRP, that is, destroying the IRP.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/03/mayors-message-to-media-chill-00109591
(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.)

AMERICAN FREE PRESS
— 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.)

THOMAS MORE SOCIETY
— Pro-Life Pregnancy Help Ministries Sue Illinois Attorney General Over SB 1909 – Tom Ciesielka
https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/news/pro-life-pregnancy-help-ministries-sue-illinois-attorney-general-over-sb-1909
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Today, Thomas More Society attorneys filed a federal lawsuit against Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, seeking to stop him from enforcing Illinois Senate Bill 1909, a measure drafted by Raoul’s office that declares the pro-life speech of the state’s life pregnancy help ministries to be a “deceptive business practice.” Thomas More Society is representing NIFLA, a national pregnancy help center network, along with several Illinois pregnancy help centers and pro-life organizations. “This law is a blatant attempt to chill and silence pro-life speech under the guise of ‘consumer protection,’” explained Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President and Head of Litigation, and a former Illinois State Legislator. “Pregnancy help ministries provide real options and assistance to women and families in need, but instead of the praise they deserve, pro-abortion politicians are targeting these ministries with $50,000 fines and injunctions solely because of their pro-life viewpoint.” The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division, seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction against SB 1909. If temporary and preliminary injunctions are granted, they would prevent the law from being enforced while the case makes its way through the court system. “The state government has completely overstepped the bounds of any logical and relevant authority by inserting insane partisan politics into their governing bodies and attempting to trample the First Amendment rights of those with whom they disagree,” said Thomas Glessner, President of NIFLA. “There is no basis for their blatant attacks on pregnancy centers, who provide all of their services for free for women and their families throughout Illinois. They do so out of their deeply held beliefs of caring for one another and exhibiting human decency and compassion for those in need, something the leaders of Illinois are completely clueless about. This attempt to deny mothers their constitutional right to choose life is disgraceful and should be an embarrassment to the people of Illinois.” Under this new revision to the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, the state seeks to curtail the speech of pro-life organizations by illegally targeting their efforts to “dissuade pregnant [women] from considering abortion care.” It also faults pro-life organizations for “pay[ing] for advertising… that is intended to attract consumers to their organizations and away from medical providers that offer” abortions, accusing the pro-life organizations of providing misleading information “overstating the risks associated with abortion.” Yet, Breen asserts, and as the filing states, that all of the abortion-related information provided by these pro-life centers and organizations is backed by scientific research. “In addition to being unconstitutional and extremely prejudicial,” added Breen, “state officials have not had cause to take legal action against pregnancy help centers, using the tools of the law that were already available.” This lawsuit, Breen stated, has been filed to protect the right of pro-life pregnancy help centers and sidewalk counselors across Illinois to continue their meaningful and important work of providing compassionate and competent advice, care, and support to thousands of women across Illinois facing unplanned pregnancies. Breen observed that the instigation of the new law, backed by Raoul, is completely without rationale or provocation. The Illinois Attorney General’s Office has not been able to provide any hard evidence that pregnancy help centers engage in so-called “deceptive practices.” According to Freedom of Information Act documents obtained from Raoul’s office, Breen shared that “the Attorney General has received zero complaints from members of the public against an Illinois Pregnancy Help Center for alleged violations of the Deceptive Business Practices Act.” Breen also testified before the Illinois House Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee, which voted to advance SB 1909, despite receiving more than 17,000 witness slips from voters opposing the bill and only a little over 3,000 supporting it. Read the Complaint, seeking Temporary Restraining Order and Permanent Injunction from the State of Illinois’ just enacted Senate Bill 1909, filed on July 27, 2023, in the United States District Court – Northern District of Illinois Western Division, by Thomas More Society attorneys on behalf of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Women’s Pregnancy Services, Rockford Family Initiative, Relevant Pregnancy Options Center, and Pro-Life Action League, in NIFLA, et al. v. Kwame Raoul here. Read about the testimony of Peter Breen in opposition to Illinois Senate Bill 1909 given before the Illinois House Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee on April 25, 2023, here.)

The largest US grid issued an Energy Emergency Alert level one, meaning it is concerned about being able to maintain adequate power reserves on July 27 as consumers and businesses turn up their air conditioners amid scorching heat. Illinois is among the 13 states fully or partially served by PJM’s grid. That includes all of the Chicago metro area as well as much of Northern Illinois which is managed by ComEd.)

— These Republicans have met qualifications for the first GOP presidential debate. Seven Republicans have met RNC requirements to make the debate stage. – Kyle Morris (COMMENT: What criteria do the leaders of the following use to select candidates to encourage run: Illinois Republican Party (IRP), your Republican county party organization, and your Republican township/ward party organization? Do they use relevant work experience, relevant professional certifications and licenses, and relevant education? I should write about past and present leaders of the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my qualifications the most. 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 passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I have four other job-related professional certifications (Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant). I became a licensed CPA. I have four job-related college degrees (management-BS NIU, business-MBA Loyola, accounting-MS DePaul, and finance-MS IIT).
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-met-qualifications-first-gop-presidential-debate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To make the stage, candidates are required to reach 1% in three national polls, or 1% in two national polls and two state-specific polls from the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. The polls must also be recognized by the RNC and must be conducted on or after July 1. Additionally, to reach the debate stage, candidates must have 40,000 unique donors to their campaign committee (or exploratory committee), with “at least 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20+ states and/or territories,” according to the RNC criteria.)

— Democrats acknowledge that “Sangamon County residents seek answers on migrant crisis impact in Illinois.” Democrats want migrants because migrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want migrants because RINOs want cheap labor.
https://foxillinois.com/news/local/sangamon-county-residents-seek-answers-on-migrant-crisis-impact-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We’re footing the bill for it all, and so things are getting tight. We need answers,” said Pulido, Illinois state advisor for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). “These people ran for office to be our representatives, and they need to get educated number one and number two, come up with some ideas.” During the town hall a number of concerns around the immigration issue were also brought up. One of the biggest concerns and issues that was shared was where Illinois taxpayer money and resources are being used. “Illinois is spending $3.9 billion a year for illegal aliens who are present in your state The single largest cost is K through 12–it’s education. It’s the children of illegal aliens. That is the biggest cost to the state of Illinois for $2.3 billion. The second one is criminal justice,” said Susan Tully, FAIR special projects law enforcement liaison and speaker for the forum. Other worries that were brought up are the overcrowding in schools, housing, and hospitals, as well as the human trafficking that happens at the border. Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell and State Representative Mike Coffey were among those in the audience at the town hall.)

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