CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Why Henry Hyde’s name should stay on the DuPage County courthouse. The GOP powerhouse stood for far more than his famous eponymous abortion amendment.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/10/editorial-henry-hyde-dupage-county-courthouse/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: History often is complex and resistant to simple narratives. So are people. So it is a needlessly divisive mistake for DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy to push for her fellow board members to remove the name of the late Henry J. Hyde, longtime Republican congressman, from the county courthouse. The board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the issue. Hyde represented DuPage, which until recent years was a Republican power center, in Washington for more than three decades, retiring in 2007. During that time, Hyde wasn’t some low-profile lifer in Congress. He was one of the House’s most prominent members, even when he was serving in the minority, which is to say most of his career there. Conroy’s rationale for removing Hyde’s name from the court building is that the staunchly anti-abortion politician was responsible for the Hyde Amendment, the provision in federal law that for decades barred spending federal taxpayer money on abortions with exceptions for rape, incest or endangerment to the life of the mother. “It’s strictly because of the Hyde Amendment, and it’s very difficult for so many women to walk into the courthouse and see (his name),” she told the Tribune. Abortion rights is an issue that only has grown more intense since Hyde died 10 months after his retirement. We understand the symbolic argument. But to strip his name from the building would be akin to removing Richard J. Daley’s name from the courthouse in the heart of the Loop over a single issue — say, the police beating of protesters at the 1968 Democratic convention on his orders, the culture of corruption that the Daley machine fostered or his brutal segregationist policies. Even many ardent Daley critics wouldn’t suggest doing so. Why is that? Because Daley is a singularly important figure in the history of Chicago and to rename the Daley Center or Daley Plaza would be to try to negate that history. Like Daley, Hyde was a complicated figure and far more than the name adorning a famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) piece of legislation. Memories are short, of course, but for most of his career Hyde was an intellectual heavyweight on the Republican side of the aisle. Agree or disagree, but when Hyde took the floor to speak, people listened. And for good reason. He was a thoughtful conservative. Consider this: Hyde stepped down in 1981 from the advisory board of the National Pro-Life Political Action Committee after Executive Director Peter Gemma Jr. identified incumbent lawmakers the group planned to work to defeat. Hyde objected to targeting officeholders over a single issue. Much the way the DuPage board is considering doing Tuesday. Would the Democratic majority on the DuPage board consider themselves in favor of reasonable gun regulation? If so, against the consensus of his party, Hyde in 1994 voted for President Bill Clinton’s ban on assault weapons, demonstrating that he could be persuaded to change his mind on a monumental issue of the day. Just three years earlier, he had voted against the same ban. Hyde reversed himself after reading detailed accounts of gun victims in Chicago, provided by Democratic Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois. “At the end of reading this list of bloody crimes, I had to conclude these guns have no purpose but to kill a lot of people very rapidly,” Hyde said. “It wasn’t like falling off a horse on the road to Damascus. But like many things complicated and emotional, you don’t dwell on them unless forced to.” Hyde’s change of heart induced Illinois Rep. Bob Michel, then GOP minority leader, and dozens more Republicans to vote for the ban. Such political courage is almost impossible to imagine on today’s Capitol Hill. Of course, four years later Hyde led Clinton’s impeachment proceedings on behalf of the House before the Senate, leading critics to disclose Hyde’s yearslong extramarital affair decades earlier and accusing him of hypocrisy. Hyde admitted to cheating on his wife but claimed Clinton’s alleged wrongdoing was about Clinton’s cover-up attempts rather than his actual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The public didn’t buy it, and Hyde paid a reputational price in the process. All of this is to say that Henry Hyde was complicated. Just like most people. But what is indisputable is that he was one of the most important political figures to emerge from DuPage County. Ever. His name should stay on that courthouse.)

https://abc7chicago.com/post/local-democrats-push-rename-dupage-county-courthouse-late-congressman-henry-hydes-abortion-views/15890259/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “He had a lot of support, a lot of friends on the other side of the aisle. He strikes me as a kind of official that we should be looking to model ourselves after, not disrespect,” said DuPage County GOP Chair Kevin Coyne. While he was bipartisan on certain issues such as gun control and the Family and Medical Leave Act, Hyde was one of Congress’ biggest opponents of abortion. He authored the Hyde Amendment, which denied abortion access to poor women on Medicaid. . .The board will vote on the resolution to remove Hyde’s name on Tuesday. With a Democratic majority, Conroy says, the proposal will pass. “To cherry-pick this one issue and hold it against a man that was such a big part of our history, to me, is just wrong. It’s short sighted,” Coyne said. Coyne says the decision to remove Hyde’s name may ruin the bipartisanship Conroy says she has proudly created while serving as chair.)

— Trump signs orders to end DEI, that is, to end race and gender based preference giving, that is, to end patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. But it is all too late for me. My critics/opponents have always used AA and DEI against me. If my Democrat superiors in the federal government did not have DEI to use against me, I would have been promoted into the federal government’s Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.

— To come into a country illegally and/or to stay in a country illegally is to demonstrate gross disrespect for the rule of law and for that country. Ever-increasingly, Americans fail/refuse to take bad jobs like the ones I took. But would illegals stoop to take the bad jobs that I took? I doubt it. 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. – Dave Diersen

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Illinois drops to No. 39 in wages for entry level workers  (COMMENT: When were you an entry level worker? GAO audits IRS. Much of what IRS Revenue Officers and GAO Analysts do is very similar. My Democrat GAO superiors let me transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980, but only if I would take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut, that is, only if I would transfer in as an entry level worker.

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
— Comparing the Compensation of Federal and Private-Sector Employees (COMMENT: My GAO salary was $153,151/year in today’s dollars when was 49 years old in 1997. What would my salary have been if I had a private-sector job? I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. I had earned a) an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and c) a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I had become a Certified a) Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I had worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years and for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years before that.)
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60235
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government employs about 2.3 million civilian workers—or 1.4 percent of the U.S. workforce—in jobs that represent over 650 occupations at more than 100 agencies. It competes with private-sector employers for people who possess the mix of attributes needed to do the work of its various agencies. In fiscal year 2022, the federal government spent roughly $271 billion to compensate those civilian employees. About 60 percent of that total was spent on civilian personnel working in the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Homeland Security. Compared with private-sector workers, federal workers tend to be older, more educated, and more concentrated in professional occupations. To account for those differences, the Congressional Budget Office limited its comparisons to employees with a set of similar observable characteristics—education, occupation, years of work experience, geographic location, size of employer, veteran status, and certain demographic characteristics (sex, race, ethnicity, marital status, immigration status, and citizenship)—in this report. Even so, the estimates do not show precisely what federal workers would earn if they were employed in comparable positions in the private sector. Even among workers with similar observable characteristics, federal and private-sector employees may differ in other traits, such as motivation or natural ability, that are not easy to measure but that can greatly affect individuals’ compensation.)

(COMMENT: Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is a) only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)

We always lived on just one of our paychecks. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that and used that to justify in their minds forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. According to them, we could afford our losing $86,371/year (56%) annual income in today’s dollars. In today’s dollars, my salary was $153,151/year and my Civil Service Retirement System pension would be 44% of it or $66,780/year. They knew my wife’s salary, how much we had saved for our retirement, and how much more we were on track to save. They knew we had no dependents or debts. They knew we owned 915 Cove Court in Wheaton. They knew we owned three collector cars. They knew that the federal government would continue to pay 72% of our health insurance.)
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/net-worth-retirees-tell-whether-155106510.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Poor retirees: Poor retirees are in the lower 20th percentile, and may have a net worth of around $10,000. This is often without property ownership, forcing many to rely mainly on Social Security or minimal pensions. Middle-class retirees: Making up the 50th percentile, with a median net worth of approximately $281,000, this group usually includes home equity, retirement savings and a 401(k) plan. Upper-middle-class retirees: These retirees possess a net worth between $201,800 and $608,900. They have diversified assets and enjoy a comfortable retirement cushion. Rich retirees: In the 90th percentile, with net worth starting at $1.9 million, this group has much more financial freedom and is able to afford luxuries and legacy planning.)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— A slightly more sanguine view of the Department of Government Efficiency
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/2024/12/a-slightly-more-sanguine-view-of-the-department-of-government-efficiency/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Absolutely. And that’s why Ramaswamy saying we’re going to eliminate 75% of federal employees is absurd, and frankly, won’t save much money. If you really do an efficiency examination of every agency you will find certain agencies that are actually understaffed. Like you mentioned, the IRS. Try calling the IRS and getting through. It’s nearly impossible. The IRS is likely understaffed and may need more employees. On the flip side, I would argue the Department of Agriculture is overstaffed with about 100,000 employees. So really you have to go agency by agency. You can’t just start out with a goal: I’m going to get rid of this many employees and do a good job. You really have to determine after reforming each agency. Do we need more or fewer people to do this work?)

— Chicago on verge of bankruptcy thanks to ultra-generous public sector pension scheme (COMMENT: I have been getting a Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently $66,780/year) since I was 49 years old in 1997 and my Democrat GAO superiors forced me into early retirement. To get that pension, I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) I earned professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) I earned a professional license in 1981.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Left wing sees a silver lining in accused assassin’s actions (COMMENT: I should write about my critics/opponents who despise/hate me the most because the federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance premiums. In my defense, I worked for the Democrats who run the federal government for almost 30 years to get that benefit.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/11/left-wing-sees-silver-lining-accused-assassin-luig/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Images of the man accused of killing the CEO of the nation’s largest health insurance company are splashed across T-shirts, coffee cups and other merchandise being hawked online and on the streets of New York City. Meanwhile, a group born out of Sen. Bernard Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign is walking a tightrope of sympathy after the high-profile execution in Manhattan, suggesting, in this instance, that vigilante justice has a silver lining. . .“Half a million families go bankrupt each year from medical debt, and millions are harmed because their care is delayed or denied,” said the email, which included the subject headline “What Luigi Mangione means for Our Revolution.” The group has been a chief advocate for Medicare for All, taxing the wealthy and kneecapping corporations it accuses of putting “profits over people.”)

NEW YORK POST
— US immigration surge under Biden administration is biggest in US history — outpacing the days of Ellis Island (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always decried the German immigration surge during the 1840s and 1850s. All my ancestors immigrated to America during the 1840s and 1850s. My critics/opponents have always a) stressed that I am 100% German national origin and b) have foisted negative German stereotypes on me. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Germans  In my defense, I have always stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)
https://nypost.com/2024/12/11/us-news/us-immigration-surge-under-biden-administration-is-biggest-in-us-history/
(FROM WIKIPEDIA: For Germany perpetrating the Holocaust and starting World War II, Germans are often stereotyped as Nazis. This stereotype, while now rare, persists to this day. After the war, the German people were often viewed with contempt because they were blamed by other Europeans for Nazi crimes. Germans visiting abroad, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, attracted insults from locals, and from foreigners who may have lost their families or friends in the atrocities. Today in Europe and worldwide (particularly in countries that fought against the Axis), Germans may be scorned by elderly people who were alive to experience the atrocities committed by Nazi Germans or by veterans who had fought against the Nazis during World War II. This resulted in a feeling of controversy for many Germans, causing numerous discussions and rows among scholars and politicians in Post-War West Germany (for example, the “Historikerstreit” [historians’ argument] in the 1980s) and after Reunification. Here, the discussion was mainly about the role that the unified Germany should play in the world and in Europe. Bernhard Schlink’s novel The Reader concerns how post-war Germans dealt with the issue.)

NEWS BUSTERS
— George Orwell had it right. We’ve somehow allowed a mob of degenerates guilt trip an entire society into a dystopia that rejects all morals in the name of morality. War is peace, ignorance is strength… Men are Women. “Affirming” the mentally ill is “life saving healthcare,” and with that, refusing to pay for someone’s “essential health care” is akin to murder. A cowardly thug murdering an innocent father in cold blood is therefore justified resistance. That’s who our leftist politicians, mainstream media and pop culture have celebrated for the past week. A wannabe vigilante jumping out of the dark to shoot a self-made CEO from an Iowa farm town was somehow presented as a win for the common man against the corporate empire. Except their Marxist hero, the identified suspect, turns out to be the product of privilege and money, cut from the same cloth as the Ivy League “revolutionaries” cheering him on.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly use “racist jokes made at a rally for Donald Trump” to promote more hatred against Trump.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/10/30/republicans-defend-trump-after-comedians-garbage-joke-00186222
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s no wonder Senate Republican Leader John Curran and House Minority Leader Tony McCombie didn’t return requests for comment. The Illinois GOP referred Playbook to the Trump campaign’s statement that the comic’s attempt at humor “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” Even state Rep. Dan Caulkins, a member of the conservative Illinois Freedom Caucus, seemed to distance himself from the comment, telling the Tribune, he didn’t think the joke was even funny and that critics should not have taken the joke (calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”) so literally. Not everyone’s ducking the drama: State Sen. Andrew Chesney said, “If this is the October surprise the Democrats were hoping for, they will be sorely disappointed on Nov. 5.” On the other side: Jim Durkin, the former Republican House leader, called Trump “unhinged” and “a loose cannon” who “should not be serving another term as president of the United States,” according to the Trib. (Easy to say when you’re out of office.) Side note: Illinois Republicans had 52 members in the state House in 2015 when Trump first walked down that escalator announcing he’d run for president. Today, there are 40 Republicans in the House, and the party in Illinois is divided with Maga folks on one side and the rest of the Republicans on the other.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What discourages you from helping elect Republican candidates? For me, it is their failure/refusal to promise to defend/advance the Republican Party platform if elected. For me, it is their painting themselves as being Democrat Lite, RINO, anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican. – Dave Diersen
