— Did NY State Republicans Nominate a Registered Democrat to Replace George Santos? – Lorri Wickenhauser (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that you are discouraged from running for any kind of government or political office: conservative, Republican, White, male. older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/fact-check-ny-state-republicans-nominate-registered-democrat-replace-george-santos
(FRM THE ARTICLE: Mazi Melesa Pilip would seem to check all the boxes for a solid GOP candidate, Politico reported. She is a two-term Republican member of the Nassau County Legislature who has championed law enforcement and low property taxes. She is also a pro-Israel Orthodox Jew and has even served in the Israel Defense Forces. However, Pilip has been a registered Democrat since 2012, Politico reported, citing public records it had “uncovered.” “The Nassau County Board of Elections’ spokesperson called [Politico] on Pilip’s behalf and confirmed she is an enrolled Democrat.” Commenting on the situation, the outlet noted, “It seems like New York’s 3rd Congressional [District] is destined for drama.” Business Insider reported that the Ethiopian-born Pilip “professes to be” a Republican, despite the evidence uncovered by Politico. In securing the New York GOP nod, she “beat out a slew of other hopeful GOP nominees,” including a U.S. Air Force veteran and another IDF veteran. Pilip will be running against Democrat Tom Suozzi, a former House member who stepped down in 2022 to run for governor of New York. He lost the Democratic nomination to incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul. Politico described Pilip as a “firebrand” and added that she is “a popular figure in Great Neck, where she lives with her seven children.” The special election to fill Santos’ vacant seat will be held on Feb. 13, according to Business Insider.)

— Christie: ‘I Don’t Hate Donald Trump’ – Michael Katz (COMMENT: Of course, my critics/opponents deny that they hate me because I support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage and family, c) right to life, d) immigration, e) illegal drugs, f) Second Amendment, and/or g) equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Of course, my critics/opponents deny that they hate me because of any of my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), draft avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years (9 of which IRS), federal retiree for more than 26 years, Crete resident for 24 years, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even though former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been a pit bull in attacking Donald Trump during the Republican presidential primary season, he told Newsmax Friday it is not because of any personal animosity against the former president. “Let me make it clear: I don’t hate Donald Trump,” Christie told “Eric Bolling The Balance.” “I just don’t believe he’s fit to be president of the United States. There’s a big difference between that. There’s no personal hatred on my part at all.”)

— 10 Job-Seeking Strategies That Work – Carmelina Piedra (COMMENT: If you had been me, what job-seeking strategy would you have used after my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old? How would you have dealt with that adverse action and their previous adverse actions? They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They never promoted me to GS-14 and they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13. They assigned me to audits of IRS for only 3 (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10. They ignored, downplayed, dismissed, belittled a) my becoming a Certified Forensic Accountant in 1997, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Government Financial Manager in 1994, and Fraud Examiner in 1990, b) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) my earning a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) my having 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.)

— Why the paucity of men on campus is a problem and the beginnings of how to respond – Clarence Page (COMMENT: Earning college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses takes lots of time and effort. I know that because I earned four college degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. As employers give more and more and more preference to females, that is, as employers discriminate more and more and more against males, more and more and more males are discouraged from earning college degrees, professional certifications, and licenses. But for me, it was the opposite — it motivated me to earn them. I should write a book about the tremendous preference that my federal employers (GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969) gave my female superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. All my female coworkers who my superiors promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had no or fewer professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no professional license like I had. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 (NIU-management) and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27 (Loyola-business), 31 (DePaul-accounting), and 48 (IIT-finance). I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant). I earned a job-related professional license (CPA) when I was 32.)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Illinois Republicans criticize Chicago mayor’s rhetoric over border crisis – Andrew Hensel
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1aee1112-8f0e-11ee-8e9d-234e6460e630.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Johnson on Tuesday criticized Republicans in regards to the border and suggested that the “right wing” was dishing out payback. “It is abysmal, and it’s an affront for everything that is good about this country, for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened 400 years ago,” Johnson said. Johnson continued by questioning the sanctity of the party. “That’s what this particular party has been about,” Johnson said. “This is the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the Capitol. It’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the Civil War. It’s raggedy, it’s disrespectful,” Johnson said. “It’s disrespectful, its mean spirited, it’s an unclean spirit.” Illinois Republicans responded to Johnson’s words, with some suggesting a history lesson for the mayor. “His statements are not even grounded in reality. I would recommend a history lesson for the mayor of Chicago, good grief,” state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, told The Center Square. “To say Republicans don’t accept the results of the Civil War, I believe Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.” State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, R-Barrington Hills, fired back at Johnson. “The Republican Party was founded to end government Bureaucracy and to end slavery. Brandon Johnson and J.B. Pritzker are both obviously not students of history and are hoping many of their followers never get off Tik-Tok to discover accurate historical information,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “Independents, moderate Democrats, and Republicans are equally appalled at their recent statements.” Last month, Pritzker said supporting non-citizen arrivals has nothing to do with sanctuary status and the state would remain open. “Sanctuary status has to do with undocumented immigrants who are here,” Pritzker said. “Not people who are asylum seekers who are in a whole different category.” According to U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-New York, Democratic leadership and the inaction of President Joe Biden in regard to the border is what led to this influx of people and the use of taxpayer dollars to cover the costs. “This is just one small glimpse at a completely avoidable humanitarian disaster brought not by big bad Republicans in the House but by an administration that refuses to enforce our immigration laws and has flung the door wide open at our southern border,” Langworthy said. Johnson said the Republican backlash comes from targeted hate. “This is nothing new,” Johnson said. “Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted Democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after Democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.” Illinois state Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said Johnson should not be taken seriously. “Mayor Johnson is a clown. He is not a serious person, and he does not deserve a response to his inane babbling,” Halbrook said in a statement. “He was elected thanks to the massive financial backing of the very public sector union leadership that has made Chicago’s finances a complete disaster. If Mayor Johnson is the answer, it must have been an extremely stupid question.” Last week, Chicago saw 25 more buses of migrants arrive. New York is seeing more than 2,500 arrivals a week.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— During the last two days, I took time out from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and hand delivered my precinct letter to the homes in the newly drawn DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 that have at least one registered Republican voter. In that letter, I announced my candidacy for Republican Precinct Committeeman. So far, I have delivered to the homes that have been in my old Precinct 9 since 1999 and those homes west of the Illinois Prairie Path that were in that precinct 1999-2015. I had great political conversations with voters who were out raking leaves. So far, I have 17 signatures on my nominating petitions. The new Precinct 59 extends to the south and has 370 registered Republican voters in it. I am discouraged from circulating nominating petitions for Republican candidates because far too many of them have blamed me for their defeats. I should write a book about those candidates who have blamed me the most for their defeats. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000. I would focus on those candidates who I did the most to help elect. I would focus on those candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. – Dave Diersen

My new teachers and classmates at Hope gave me a new perspective on life, they helped put me on track to get a college degree. My parents had not attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended grade school. I was confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran at Hope in 1962.) .

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are different degrees of how well you know people. This particular measure is a broad one. Asked how many close friends they have, about half of Americans say three or fewer, according to a 2021 survey. The British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, drawing on studies of the brain sizes of humans and other primates, estimates a person can only maintain about 150 relationships. The so-called Dunbar number, he has said, “applies to quality relationships, not to acquaintances.” A Pew Research study found adults on Facebook had an average of 338 friends on the site.)

Darin LaHood as a “former moderate” who “raced to the unreasonable Right” and tied himself to “the most unethical and least transparent president in history.” LaHood still represents parts of Bloomington-Normal, and his father, Ray LaHood, was a famously moderate Republican figure. “Darin LaHood is your quintessential average Republican congressman. And I don’t mean that pejoratively. He’s somebody whose goal is to get re-elected, to represent his district, and to climb that political ladder,” Kinzinger said.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on the jobs that they had, how they got those jobs, and why they got those jobs. From what I see, the wealthier that your parents are, the better the jobs that you can get. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant and never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, almost always worked second jobs (playing the piano, delivering eggs, working in an A&W) to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Highland councilman is expected to be stripped of his precinct committee position after publicly endorsing the town’s Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate in the upcoming general election. Lake County Republican Chairman and Congressional candidate Randy Niemeyer confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be removing Highland Councilman Mark Schocke, R-3, from the precinct committee after Schocke appeared in a campaign mailer endorsing current Highland Clerk-Treasurer Mark Herak. Herak is running against Republican Kathy Camp-Burke. Because Schocke was appointed to the precinct, he can be removed at the County Chair’s discretion and not go through a hearing process as an elected committeeman would, Niemeyer said. He said he hadn’t executed the order as of Wednesday afternoon, but only because he hadn’t had the chance. Niemeyer said his decision to remove Schocke isn’t personal; it’s just that he has a party to protect.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20231021/it-may-be-that-the-only-solution-to-house-chaos-is-true-cooperation-between-parties
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight Republicans forced the current crisis in the House when they engineered the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 5. But Democrats, remember, are not blameless. Any reasonably informed observer could have foreseen that when a small cabal of extremists managed to depose their party’s leader with no plan for a successor and no likely option waiting in the wings, trouble lurked for the entire body. The GOP chaos may have provided a few temporary partisan chuckles for Democrats, not one of whom lifted a finger to try to rescue McCarthy, but the situation facing the country now is not at all funny.)

How many Americans could use a $9,000 housing stipend right about now? “That rent lasts for six months and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization and be able to sustain that apartment. And so the cost, or I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the parament – how many rooms, where it’s located – all those things. And so it varies from place to place,” Cristina Pacione-Zayas, chief of staff to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, told the Chicago’s Fox 32 TV station October 13. As is so often the case, Democrat notions of the “ideal” results of their feckless policies are failing to materialize. In New York City, where illegal migrants have become a crushing burden on the blue-run government, the new arrivals are simply not working. . .Chicago Democrats are starting to realize that their empty platitudes about welcoming the world to America are unaffordable, something any responsible adult should have realized from the beginning.)

October 13, 2023

Democrat leaders ever-increasingly bring illegals into America because Illegals vote for Democrats. However, everything is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to illegals, that is, to the citizens of foreign countries who they brought in. Consequently, Democrat elected officials ever-increasingly discriminate against citizens of America. Overwhelmingly, those citizens of America are Democrats who are poor, minority, female, and/or younger.

https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2023/09/30/trump-republicans-must-take-the-reins-of-the-illinois-gop/
(IBENDAHL UPDATE: A big thank you to everyone who already emailed me saying they wanted to be added to the list of Republicans who want a direct vote & a voice again in their Illinois Republican Party. It’s heartwarming to see so many standing up for their fellow Republicans. You folks truly get it. . .We’re still collecting names, so just let me know if you would like to be added to the growing list of supporters. We’re going to publish the list of supporters soon. We’re also going to publish the list of opponents–which I’m delighted to say is a very short list right now. Actually that’s not surprising. Anyone who actually cares about our Republican Party, as opposed to just their own selfish interest, does not have a problem with the idea of Republicans voting in their own party–just like we used to when Illinois was still a Red State. And yet there is a tiny handful, but those few names won’t surprise you. Thank you again, and just let me know if you have any questions. Also, your help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We invite any and all Republicans in Illinois to stand up and proudly lend her or his name to a long past-due reform. When some selfish old GOP bosses took our vote away years ago, THAT was the radical & inexplicable change. All we’re talking about now is restoring some common sense & professionalism to the Illinois Republican Party. It’s a major first step towards becoming something other than a perpetually losing party in Illinois.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FRONT PAGE: Steve Scalise Quits House Speaker Race. GOP nominee for top job ran into stubborn opposition from bloc of fellow Republicans – Siobhan Hughes, Kristina Peterson, Katy Stech Ferek, and David Harrison (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who oppose me and why they oppose me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who reject lots of planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those 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.)
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/steve-scalise-struggles-to-build-support-for-house-speaker-post-99be48e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of Scalise opponents was thought to stretch to as many as 20 members, beyond the dozen or so who had publicly rejected him. Those holdouts include Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Max Miller of Ohio. Disgraced New York Congressman George Santos, who faces federal fraud charges, also said he would oppose Scalise, saying the lawmaker had ignored him. Santos has denied wrongdoing. Many of the holdouts said they viewed electing Scalise as simply extending the status quo, while others have specific objections tied to strategy around spending bills or the process used to conduct the speaker election. Former President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Jordan in the GOP contest, said he would back whomever the party unites behind, while also pointing to health worries about Scalise. “I’m going to be with anybody they pick,” he said on Fox News Radio. “The one thing with Steve, he’s got to get well…he’s got to get strong.”)
— Americans Failed to Pay a Record $688 Billion in Taxes. The IRS Says That Will Change. The agency plans more audits targeting high-income taxpayers. -Ashlea Ebeling (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO intentionally wasted my knowledge of IRS. 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.

— Growing Antisemitism in the US Is Seeping Into the Workplace – Arianne Cohen (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. My Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors forced my many Jewish Democrat superiors and supervisors to take many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, d) keeping me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988, and e) forcing me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, those adverse actions included a) never promoting me beyond GS-12, b) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974. While I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, those adverse actions included a) forcing me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My Democrat superiors stressed a) that I am a conservative Republican, b) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, c) that I am 100% German national origin, d) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and e) that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978.)

FORBES
— How Social Recognition In The Workplace Enhances Employee Retention, Production And Happiness – Jack Kelly (COMMENT: Seniority used to be recognized. In October 1, 1993, when I was 45 years old, because I had 25 years of federal seniority, I became eligible to take GAO’s early retirement offer. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious about that because I had only worked for GAO for 13 years. I had worked for IRS for 9 years and for the Post Office for 3 years. They were especially furious that I got full-time seniority credit while I worked for the Post Office even though I worked only part-time.)

— Democrats say “UAW strike bypasses Illinois plants for now, but state’s auto industry has a lot riding on negotiations.” I have owned only American nameplate cars since I bought my first one in 1964. I currently own eight. I was a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. In early 1970, I was a UAW member while I worked part-time for Chrysler in its Belvidere plant and was a full-time NIU student. My critics/opponents have always disapprove of/hated unions and American nameplate cars. Since 1966, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always been overpaid because I was a union member. In today’s dollars, while I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.

— Democrats say “Parents worry as day care centers face funding crisis.” My father made enough money that my mother, who never attended high school, could stay home and raise me and my brother. My critics/opponents have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and my parents as having been undeservedly filthy rich. In my father’s defense, he never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. In my defense, because of that, to buy cars and to pay for college expenses, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969.
