I own two Corvettes (1972 and 2005) and a Mustang GT Premium (2023), Charger R/T Max (2013), and Thunderbird LX (1996). If you share my interest in cars, please let me know.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20241216/autos/luxury-car-condos-could-soon-roll-into-gilberts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Developers are getting closer to getting a green light from village board members to build a “luxury” car condominium complex with retail and clubhouse space in Gilberts. BeSpoke Motor Union describes the condos as a “country club for car enthusiasts” that provide a space for people to store luxury cars. The plan calls for 156 “highly customizable” units in 10 two-story buildings. Car condos are a relatively new fad popping up in the area, with other developers working on similar facilities in Crystal Lake, Barrington and South Barrington. Trailblazers Iron Gate Motor Condos have been operating in Naperville since 2015. The Crystal Lake development called Redline Motor Condos, owned by Mayor Haig Haleblian, was approved by the city council in August. Developers aim to construct 25 two-story garage condo units at 7225 Teckler Blvd.)

WBEZ
— What to know about an effort to make college in Illinois more affordable. Legislators are considering a funding formula that would make Illinois a model for other states to emulate, but would come at a hefty cost. (COMMENT: What helped you afford college? For me, it was a) my living with my parents and brother in Crete during my first 2 years at UIC 1966-1968 and commuting to/from classes there and b) working all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. That enabled me to buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, pay for my college expenses, and graduate debt-free from NIU owning that Charger  in 1970.)

JONATHAN TURLEY
— University of Illinois Accounting Professor Li Zhang is under fire this week after warning students about their “unconscious and unintentional biases” against women and minorities before they completed their evaluations.
https://jonathanturley.org/2024/12/14/unconscious-and-unintentional-biases-university-of-illinois-professors-issues-discrimination-warning-to-students-before-they-complete-her-evaluations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A student objected to the “passive-aggressive” nature of the email: [T]his announcement can be interpreted in two ways: 1) It implies that I am a bigot, incapable of providing honest feedback without my opinions being negatively influenced by the professor’s race or sex. It suggests that any negative feelings I have towards the professor or the course are more influenced by personal, subjective feelings regarding race and sex than by any objective facts. 2) It suggests that I should provide high evaluation scores, regardless of my actual feelings, in order to atone for past actions taken by others. Both interpretations are unacceptable and represent a passive-aggressive method to artificially inflate course evaluation scores. This approach is highly unprofessional and creates an “othering” effect, implying that white males are incapable of making objective decisions that are not influenced by race or sex.)

FORD FOUNDATION
— For generations, the United States of America has been built on a pact: secure a job, commit to it, and ensure a stable life. Yet for millions of workers, this promise is dissolving. (COMMENT:  I was a wage earner 1964-1997. My critics/opponents look down on wage earners, if not despise wage earners. They have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having been grossly overpaid. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and a Job-related professional license in 1981. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college degree, and who got them jobs.)
https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/stories/fighting-for-a-just-economy-workers-lead-the-way/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across every sector, jobs are becoming increasingly precarious. Gig work, temporary positions, and subcontracted roles are replacing traditional employment, leaving workers with unpredictable incomes, erratic schedules, and a lack of benefits. This instability breeds anxiety, disrupts families, and creates a sense of expendability, ultimately destabilizing entire communities and creating a race to the bottom economy. This rise of precarious work is no accident. Decades of policies prioritizing corporate profits over worker protections have eroded job security and weakened worker power. By design, this uncertainty leaves workers vulnerable and less likely to demand their rights, individually and collectively.)

— Wheaton business owner faces backlash, garners support for public show of support for President-elect Trump
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/suburban-business-owner-faces-backlash-garners-support-for-public-show-of-support-for-president-elect-trump/3596501/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A small business in suburban Wheaton is facing controversy after showing their support for President-elect Donald Trump in wake of the 2024 election. Moveable Feast, a Latino-owned family business, put up a banner in front of the restaurant that reads “Jesus is my savior” and “Trump is my president.” “I grew up in Wheaton my whole life, so it was a little shocking to be honest because you know you can have different opinions, that’s fine, that’s what America is founded on and you’re allowed to have our own opinions,” Matthew Marquez, the restaurant’s owner, said. Marquez said he opened the business’ doors six years ago, building their restaurant on their faith. On Friday afternoon, the eatery was bustling with customers expressing their support and right to free speech. “I feel like we are who we are unapologetically, and we didn’t intend to offend anyone,” he said. “I thought maybe it would be a few people, who would walk by kinda look at the sign and frown at it or give it a thumbs up and then move on, but it came way more than that really quicky.” Two weeks before the election, the owner put up a “Make America Healthy Again” poster, and since adding the banner, the owner said they’ve received more than 500 hateful messages and comments from customers by phone and across social media. “A lot of people are saying: four letter words you lost my business, thank you for posting this, I appreciate what racist would announce themselves,” he shared. “I won’t be spending money in your establishment—I’ll let everyone know now to give money to support a convicted felon.” Marquez said longtime customers cut ties with them and cancelled catering orders. “I’ve spoken to many of these people over the past six years and they never have called me a racist, a woman-hating pig, but when I put that sign up all of a sudden, that’s what people said,” he said. “I think people know our true hearts and that’s why they’re supporting us.” The owner said business is up almost 50% since putting up the banner. Customers from different suburbs have been showing their support after hearing about the hate messages. “A lot of times people feel they have to be silent,” Jasmine Dolce, a first-time customer said. “They can’t support who they want to support, and they went out there and they put themselves out there and I’m really glad they did.” “That’s a big swing with a business to kind of take a side,” Bianca Stone, another first-time customer said. “But I realize that they’re also part of the silent majority.” The owner is overwhelmed and thankful for the support from customers from both sides of the aisles and said he doesn’t regret his decision. “Everyone can agree to disagree, that’s a phrase that seems like it’s gone out of the window,” he said. “But whether you agree politically or even religiously with what I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinions and that’s what we think and we’re proud to say it.”)

https://wgntv.com/news/dupage-county/wheaton-restaurant-signs-reaction/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxU0CO9S2f0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Wheaton restaurant owner was surprised at the reaction he received after posting two signs at his establishment. The community, however, has rallied behind him to show their support. Matt Marquez, owner of Moveable Feast + Company in Wheaton, described the backlash he’s been receiving after installing two signs outside his restaurant earlier this week. “It’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ which we strongly believe in and we put a picture of our storefront, and then we put another sign that said ‘Jesus is my Savior,’ and ‘Trump is my president,’” Marquez said. He never imagined displaying the signs would provoke hostile reactions. “We started getting tons of messages of just horrible negativity and threats and just really, really bad things and attacking my family personally,” Marquez said. He went and shared the negative feedback on social media. Although he said the criticism was intense at first, the support from customers began pouring in. “You could’ve voted for somebody else in the White House. You still have First Amendment rights. Those rights don’t end because of your feelings,” customer Kim Tameling said. “It takes courage in the world today to stand up for something you believe in and people have against. We just wanted to encourage them,” customer Alicia Piech added. According to Marquez, the beauty of this country lies in the freedom here all can express their beliefs. He believes in the power of having constructive dialogue rather than fueling division or hate. “This is the Wheaton I know, the one that rallies around people,” he said. “I’m happy to have anyone talk about it. I think it’s really something I would love to talk about.” Marquez also shared that while not everyone agrees with the signs, another positive outcome – aside from the overwhelming encouragement – is the sense of unity the signs have created among people with differing opinions, who are now dining together in the same space.)

— Leftists Trying to Destroy Wheaton Restaurant Over Trump Banner
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/read/2024/11/07/leftists-trying-to-destroy-wheaton-illinois-restaurant-over-trump-banner
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The day after the election, a local and much-loved restaurant in Wheaton, Illinois put up a banner that says, “JESUS IS MY SAVIOR” on one side and “TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT” on the other side, with an image of the American flag in between. According to an Instagram post from the owners, the restaurant, Moveable Feast + Co, immediately began receiving hateful comments that included threats of lawsuits and warnings that the restaurant would be put out of business. In addition, the restaurant, owned by Matt and Ashley Marquez, was reported to the health department. It’s safe to assume that these hateful, intolerant, bigoted comments, and threats to destroy the Marquez family’s livelihood came from supporters of the joyful unifier Kamala Harris. Several years ago, I wrote about the “Hate Has No Home Here” yard signs popping up all over Wheaton to sneakily scold and condemn Trump supporters. Sadly, as Matt and Ashley Marquez, parents of four young children, are learning, hate has a home everywhere, particularly wherever leftists live. Here are a few of the ugly ignorant comments, ranging from the vengeful to the vulgar to the childish, that were sent to Moveable Feast: “Good luck! You’ll be closed in a few years.” “Fuck you. You’ve lost my business.” “Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate when racists announce themselves. It makes deciding where to spend my money so much easier.” “I won’t be spending my money at your establishment. I will also let my family and friends know not to give money to someone who supports a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist. I’ll also make sure to share on my socials, so that everyone knows what kind of people own this establishment.” “I bet you ate paint chips as a child. Why would you bring politics into your business, no wonder you’ve been struggling. No ones going to feel bad for you when you go under. And btw Trump isn’t going to bail you out.” What these moral ciphers are saying is that if their fellow citizens don’t vote the way the ciphers want, they shouldn’t be able to make a living. So filled with the milk of human kindness and a desire for unity amid diversity. #EPluribusUnum Such actions and words expose common leftist sentiments: They don’t value tolerance or diversity, and they loathe freedom to choose unless they have the unilateral power to circumscribe the choices. Nasty commenter #5, who presumes to know how all people will feel if the Nasties are successful in destroying the Marquez’s business, asks why the Marquez family would bring “politics” into their business. It’s an odd question from a leftist in that leftists have been bringing their politics into their businesses and everyone else’s for years. Leftists have culturally appropriated the entire month of June during which businesses big and small all over the country put up banners, signs, and symbols announcing their reverence for and celebration of leftist theories about sexuality and gender. Leftists have coerced corporate America to indoctrinate employees with CRT/DEI propaganda and advertise those political beliefs. Remember Target? Remember Bud Light? Leftists have coerced all of the entertainment industry to genuflect to the homosexual/trans industrial complex. Now, every streaming series, every movie, and even many children’s programs are politicized with leftist messages about sexuality and gender. I doubt that Nasty #5 objects to any of that politicization of business. Instead, he/she/ze aims his/her/zir ire, virulent hatred, intolerance, bigotry, and destructive impulses straight at a small family-owned business in a small town in the Midwest. Word to Nasty #5: Trump is your president too. Over 72 million of your fellow Americans voted for him, and he is now the president of all Americans. Or do you not accept the results of the election? Nasty #4 libelously called Matt and Ashley Marquez racists. Why would he/she level that peculiar accusation—I mean, other than that’s the go-to ad hominem of leftists these days? Marquez is a Spanish surname and common in Mexico. Maybe Nasty #4 was so busy drowning in his/her leftist tears in his/her safe space that he/she didn’t notice how many Latin and black men and women voted for Trump. Are they racists too? What about the Harris supporters who say all whites are racist? Are those Harris supporters racist? Nasty #4 is so furious at anyone who voted for “a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a cheater, and a racist” that he/she wants to destroy their ability to feed their children. Instead, Nasty #4 wanted Americans to vote for a woman, who lied to the American people repeatedly for years about Biden’s cognitive ability; who supported the corrupt influence-peddler Joe Biden; who supports the unfettered legal right of women to have their offspring—living humans with their own unique DNA and bodies—slaughtered for any or no reason until the day of their birth; who opened wide the border, allowing human traffickers and drug dealers to wreak havoc in America; who wanted struggling American taxpayers to pay to turn prisoners into eunuchs; who wants to allow men to invade women’s sports and private spaces; who has supported economic and energy policies that have left the finances of ordinary Americans in shambles; who is married to a man who knocked up his young children’s nanny and hit his previous girlfriend so hard his assault spun her around; and who opposes school choice. And Nasty #4 wants all Americans who voted for Trump to see their livelihoods go up in flames. That, my friends, is the leftist reimagining of safety, tolerance, diversity, unity, and compassion. If you are in the Wheaton, Illinois area, consider supporting Moveable Feast + Co. Word on the street is the food, service, ambience, and owners are fantastic.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— In your precinct, how many votes did the Republican candidates get versus their Democrat (D) opponent? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton:

— 370 for Donald J. Trump, U.S. President and JD Vance, Vice President versus 470 for the D
— 433 for John Booras, U.S. Congressman, 3rd Congressional District versus 417 for the D
— 439 for Amy Grant, Illinois Representative, 47th District versus 422 for the D
— 654 for Bob Berlin, Illinois State’s Attorney, DuPage County (unopposed)
— 440 for Jaye Wang, DuPage County Clerk of the Circuit Court versus 404 for the D
— 468 for Bob Grogan, DuPage County Auditor versus 374 for the D
— 492 for Richard Jorgensen, DuPage County Coroner versus 344 for the D
— 445 for Nicole Prater, DuPage County Recorder versus 388 for the D
— 452 for Annette Corrigan, DuPage County Board, District 4 versus 390 for the D
— 451 for Jeff Castle, DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner, District 4 versus 396 for the D
— 434 for Kenton Skarin, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 413 for the D
— 422 for Jason Helland, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 423 for the D
— 446 for John Costello, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 396 for the D

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates to punish Trump?

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates because they promised to use government to give more preference to those who shared their demographics?

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates because they want more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, further diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination?

In your county, how many votes did the Republican candidates get versus their Democrat (D) opponent?

In DuPage County:

— 189,159 for Trump/Vance versus 245,192 for the Ds
— 40,507 for Booras versus 42,869 for the D
— 29,531 for Grant versus 29,031 for the D
— 327,517 for Berlin (unopposed)
— 201,791 for Wang versus 231,119 for the D
— 213,885 for Grogan versus 216,600 for the D
— 211,513 for Jorgensen versus 216,901 for the D
— 201,838 for Prater versus 226,408 for the D
— 34,761 for Corrigan versus 38,085 for the D
— 33,903 for Castle versus 37,671 for the D
— 199,973 for Skarin versus 233,946 for the D
— 194,808 for Helland versus 238,809 for the D
— 204,516 for Costello versus 227,034 for the D

What adverse actions are those in your county, township, and municipality who voted for Harris going take against those who voted for Trump?

In Illinois, far too few Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders defended Trump let alone promoted him. What are the hate-filled Trump-hating Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in your county going to do in response to Trump’s victory? Of course, they will blame Trump for the Republican defeats in your county.
