NEWSWEEK
— ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-rappel-black-hawk-helicopters-chicago-10809228
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter onto the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings, launching a sweeping immigration enforcement operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, according to NewsNation. The operation, led by ICE with support from the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol, was designed to apprehend high-priority targets connected to the Venezuelan crime syndicate that U.S. authorities have accused of trafficking, violence, and other cross-border crimes. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January designating Mexican drug cartels and other Latin American criminal groups like the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. His administration is ramping up immigration enforcement operations in Chicago after he threatened to deploy the National Guard to quell crime in the city. Nearly 300 federal agents and officers descended upon a five-story apartment complex in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, where U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino has claimed members of Tren de Aragua have been operating, according to NewsNation. The outlet reported that roughly 30 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody, several of them suspected of gang affiliation. Bovino told NewsNation that the operation proceeded “very smoothly” after federal officers and agents spent several days training for the targeted enforcement effort. Bovino, who is overseeing the ongoing operation in Chicago, added that residents of the South Side should expect an increased federal presence in the area.)

They had delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO.

I know/knew many people who knew Kirk.

The more that you rely on the Democrat mainstream news media, the more that you will become anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage and family, anti-those who have more money than you, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than your ancestors.

Ever-increasingly, the Democrat mainstream news media hints/implies/argues/shouts that Trump caused Kirk’s assassination.

ILLINOIS GOP
— ILGOP Responds to Pritzker’s Vile Comments on Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, immediately following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Governor Pritzker doubled down on the violent political rhetoric the left is known for, and blamed President Trump for the despicable, violent act that occurred in Utah. Speaking to reporters, Pritzker said that, “there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it.” ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “JB Pritzker is a despicable human being for using this tragedy to take political shots and launch his campaign for president. Not only are these comments dangerous and unacceptable, but Pritzker seemingly ignores the fact that left-wing shooters attempted to assassinate President Trump during the 2024 campaign. Political violence has no place in this country and the ILGOP continues to pray for Charlie Kirk’s family.” Don’t Forget: in April, Pritzker stoked a New Hampshire crowd in calling for political violence.

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

Failing that, they want an anti-Trump Republican candidate to win who is Democrat plant, Democrat Lite, RINO, if not anti-conservative, if not anti-Republican who rejects the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other if not all of the planks in the Republican Party platform.

ABC7
— Chicago-area residents celebrate Labor Day 2025 with parades. I have always been big on parades. I attended Bob Doles’ rally after he walked in Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade in 1996. SEE: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/05/us/for-dole-upbeat-crowd-on-a-spirited-day.html At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I encouraged George Ryan to encourage Bush/Cheney to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day Parade. But my attending the Bush/Cheney rally before Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day Parade and my walking in that parade really got me going. SEE: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2000/09/05/no-ordinary-fling-in-naperville/ I ever-increasingly encouraged Republican candidates to walk in Wheaton Independence Day Parades. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day Parades from 2005 until my critics/opponents ended that in 2021.

— Why Can’t Teens Get Jobs? While I was a Crete-Monee High School student 1962-1966, UIC student 1966-1968, and NIU student 1969-1970, few of my classmates had jobs. But I did yard work 1962-1964. I delivered newspapers 1962-1966. I washed dishes 1964-1966. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. I delivered mail 1966-1969. I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. My critics/opponents have always used my taking the aforesaid jobs against me. They make it clear that they would never had stooped to take the aforesaid jobs. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my taking the aforesaid jobs proves that I am a loser. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money.

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whatever happens on the GOP side doesn’t really matter. Illinois is solidly Democratic statewide. That reality has driven credible Republicans to the sidelines, leaving ballot spots to be filled by wannabes who range from unprepared dreamers to outright nuts. Republicans bear most of the responsibility for their current state of affairs. In 1994, when Republican Gov. Jim Edgar ran the state, every statewide office was held by a Republican. Corruption under Edgar’s successor — Gov. George Ryan — laid the groundwork for GOP doom. (Ironically, Ryan’s Democratic successor, Rod Blagojevich, was equally corrupt, but his sickening tenure didn’t hurt his party at all. Neither will that of soon-to-be-federal-prison-inmate Michael Madigan, the longtime Democratic speaker of the Illinois House.) Ryan’s corruption was exacerbated by rancor within GOP ranks — so-called real Republicans condemning evil RINOs — Republicans In Name Only. The fight over who is pure and who gets to decide who is pure has been politically poisonous. As a consequence, the GOP is going nowhere. Making matters even worse, GOP decline combined with ruthless Democratic gerrymandering of state and federal legislative districts has made Illinois a one-party state. The Ds don’t mind that because it serves their political self-interest. But Paul Vallas, a Democrat who has run unsuccessfully for governor and mayor of Chicago, argues that “one-party dominance imposed and perpetuated through aggressive (legislative) map manipulation” is bad both for the party and the public. He said cemented Democratic majorities “reward identity politics and stifle dissenting voices.” As a result of that “unchecked power,” Illinois’ political environment has “moved further left all the time,” in a way that favors “government expansion over economic growth.” He said lack of competition between parties has left the ruling party unaccountable for policy choices that have had bad results. They include stagnating job growth, out-migration from Illinois by higher-income earners looking for a better life elsewhere, and “dozens of tax and fee increases” since 2019 that generated billions in new revenue but did little to solve the state’s financial woes. Not enough people realize it, but Illinois is a mess that will only get messier absent changes as seismic as they are unlikely.)

NEW YORK POST
— Keep racial lunacy out of air traffic control before more planes crash. To hire, retain, and promote more young Democrat minorities and more young Democrat females, my Democrat superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three job-related masters degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. I should write about that.

— Pritzker recently signed a bill to compel all Illinois schools to offer students mental-health screenings. Pritzker proclaimed the new law “is a national first worth celebrating.” But his Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative is far likelier to produce more jobs for therapists than better health for pupils. Academic achievement levels in Illinois schools have sharply declined in recent years, but that’s not stopping politicians from further intruding into students’ lives and minds. According to Democrats, if you are not a Democrat, you have mental problems.

I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, but not until I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting, but not until I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, but not until I was 32. I became licensed CPA, but not until I was 32. Further, because of my bad demographics, I could not help the accounting profession meet its Affirmative Action quotas, targets, and goals.
