I would focus on the following demographics: heterosexual, conservative, Republicans, White, male, older, non-poor, draft-avoider, married, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on high-profile hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who use Trump’s wrongdoing against me because I share the so many of Trump’s demographics.

— Looting as a way of life. Democrats’ mantra is centralized power and redistribution of wealth. – Robert Knight (COMMENT: Under the Democrats , anticipate that Democrats will ever-increasingly loot.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/21/looting-as-way-of-life/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As for the street version of looting, Chicago’s next mayor, Brandon Johnson, refused to strongly condemn rioting in his city. Hundreds of “youths” rampaged downtown, attacking tourists and smashing things. But the mayor-elect seemed more worried that the little rascals might have become unpopular. “In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend,” he said. “It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.” It’s not their fault, you see. In 2020, Mr. Johnson was interviewed after looters ransacked dozens of stores in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The young newswoman repeatedly gave Mr. Johnson a chance to decry the lawlessness. But he would have none of it. Instead, he ranted against — you guessed it — corporations that make “profit.” You know, the ones that manufacture or sell things that make modern life possible. One of those awful corporations, Walmart, is closing four Chicago stores because they are losing too much money to thieves and are unable to protect employees and customers from violent criminals. Mr. Johnson insisted that the mobs of teens and 20-somethings cleaning out stores just want to be able to “eat.” That’s why they steal those yummy cigarettes, beer, jewels, Coach purses and smartphones. The same goes for a dozen looters who ransacked a Louis Vuitton store in nearby Oak Brook, Illinois, last year, making off with $100,000 in merchandise. They just want to eat, too. More and more companies are showing that they have finally had it with crime-ridden cities.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— SCOOP: Republican Steve Kim is throwing his hat in the ring to challenge Democratic Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, nearly rounding out a Republican slate for the June 28 primary. Kim is a familiar name on the political scene, having challenged Democratic AG Lisa Madigan when she ran for reelection in 2010. Kim was also the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Rutherford in the 2014 primary contest that ultimately went to Bruce Rauner. A source close to Kim’s campaign said he would be part of a slate that includes state Rep. Tom Demmer for treasurer, former U.S. Attorney John Milhiser for secretary of state, and McHenry County Auditor Shannon Teresi for auditor, who announced yesterday. Don’t be surprised if Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin leads the slate as the gubernatorial candidate. These candidates aren’t the only Republicans running for statewide offices, but by teaming up they hope to have an advantage securing a statewide seat (or seats) that are now controlled by Democrats. Abby Witt, executive director of the Democratic Party of Illinois, calls the slate a “Rauner Reboot” that’s being run by Ken Griffin. Actually, Griffin has so far kept out of the statewide races — though he’s acknowledged wanting to defeat Gov. JB Pritzker. For his part, Kim said the AG job is “critical to repairing the state’s reputation as a haven for crime and public corruption.” And like Teresi did yesterday, he invoked Michael Madigan, the former House speaker, in his remarks, saying, “Under JB Pritzker and Mike Madigan, Springfield remains a cesspool run for the benefit of the politicians and insiders and not the people of Illinois.” Kim, born in South Korea, is an attorney with an expertise in international issues. He was an adviser to former Gov. Jim Edgar on trade and Asian affairs, a trustee in Northfield Township, and an international affairs director for the State Chamber of Commerce. He also serves as a member of the Rules Committee of the Illinois Supreme Court. In the private sector, Kim worked on internal and external affairs with Ameritech, now AT&T, while going to law school at night. After earning his law degree, Kim was VP of government and public affairs at Time Warner. He’s since practiced law at a boutique firm that advises small- and medium-size companies. . .Republican Cook County Commissioner Peter Silvestri won’t seek reelection: He was first elected in 1994. “I’m thinking that there’s other things I want to do, like maybe teach or practice more law … and just have more time with my friends and family,” Silvestri said in a phone interview with the Tribune’s Alice Yin. “I hope that my legacy is that I tried to represent the people of our area to the best of my ability, understanding the social and financial limitations that government has.” . . .Pete DiCianni has been unanimously endorsed by the Addison Township Republican Organization for DuPage County Board chairman. Di Cianni currently serves as the commissioner of the 2nd District. – Shia Kapos

POLITICO
— One year after Jan. 6, Trumpism isn’t gone. It’s ‘almost a religion.’ The riot at the Capitol briefly looked like it had broken Trump’s hold on the GOP. Instead, he has reaffirmed his dominion over the party. – DAVID SIDERS (COMMENT: I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, b) conservative and religious leaders, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and d) those who I have sued. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that they disapprove of those who share my demographics.)

CNN
— They grew up surrounded by racism. But early on they chose a different path – John Blake (COMMENT: Should I write a book about those who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my hometown of Crete the most? I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County. Crete was predominately German American and Lutheran when I lived there 1948-1972. My brother continues to live in a house in downtown Crete that I lived in 1954-1972 that my grandfather on my father’s side had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864 after he sold a farm that he had homesteaded in southeast Crete in 1854. My outstanding parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

I should write a book about those anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes who have done the most a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Strange Tale of the Freedom Phone, a Smartphone for Conservatives. A 22-year-old Bitcoin millionaire wants Republicans to ditch their iPhones for a low-end handset that he hopes to turn into a political tool. – Jack Nicas
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/technology/freedom-phone-smartphone-conservatives.html
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who do not promote wearing masks.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/opinion/coronavirus-masks-school-board-meetings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public schools have long been an irresistible battleground for America’s culture warriors. On issues ranging from sex education to desegregation, public prayer to evolution to the Pledge of Allegiance, cultural cage matches are frequently fought on the backs of local schools, with board members, educators and students too often caught in the fray.)
— Dawn Turner Looks Back on Her ’70s Girlhood, and Those Who Got Left Behind – Linda Villarosa (COMMENT: Did you seek admission to the University of Illinois in Urbana? I did not. Neither my parents nor I could afford it. But UIC did admit me in 1966. I could afford UIC a) because my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete, b) because I owned a new car to commute to/from classes and work that I had paid for with money that I had saved washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, and c) because I worked as many hours that I could part-time for the Park Forest Post Office.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/books/review/dawn-turner-three-girls-from-bronzeville.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Driving Turner’s narrative is a vexing question that continues to haunt her: How did she manage to accumulate the signifiers of success — a college degree, a career, a husband, a home outside the city — while Kim lost a baby as a teenager, sank into alcoholism and died of a heart attack at 23; and Debra battled drug addiction and eventually shot a man to death? . . . Dawn, Debra and Kim all had a leg up in life, as so-called children of the dream: the first generation to realize the hard-won freedoms of the civil rights movement. But only Turner was able to grab hold of the advantages, entering the University of Illinois at Urbana on the early tide of affirmative action, one of just a thousand African American students in a sea of 34,500.)

NEW YORK POST
— Why most Americans no longer honor unions on Labor Day – Editorial (COMMENT: What is your attitude toward union members? I should write a book about those who have used my almost 12 years of union membership while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980 against me the most. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because of federal unions, I was grossly overpaid and my benefits were far too generous. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $48,445/year in 1971 to $97,395/year in 1980. In my defense, I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-management) when I was 21 in 1970, a job-related master’s degree (Loyola- MBA) when I was 27, a job-related professional certification (CPA) when I was 30, and I had almost completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree (DePaul-Accounting).)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Biden: ‘They gave me a list here, the first person I was instructed to call on’ was NBC reporter – Victor Morton (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I should write a book about how the following have treated me: a) the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) the leaders of the Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers, and d) the leaders of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/26/joe-biden-first-person-i-was-instructed-call-was-k/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden said at Thursday’s press conference on the fatal day in Afghanistan that he had been told by others what reporters to let question him. “They gave me a list here, the first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O’Donnell, NBC,” he said. Conservative commentators quickly took the words and the president’s halting diction as confirmation of their longstanding belief that Mr. Biden is a puppet and not really in charge at the White House. “Who instructed him? Was that also the Taliban,” asked Greg Gutfeld on Fox News Channel immediately after.)

NBC NEWS
— Marine officer relieved of duty after viral video questioning senior leaders in Afghanistan. “There is a forum in which Marine leaders can address their disagreements with the chain of command, but it’s not social media,” a Marine Corps spokesperson said. – Nicole Acevedo and Mosheh Gains (COMMENT: In 1988 when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/we_have_a_problem_but_its_not_systemic_racism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What I fear is that indoctrinating students with Critical Race Theory will create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instilling the belief that life is rigged against certain people encourages a fixed mindset rather than an empowering growth mindset. Regardless of any real or perceived disadvantages we may have, Americans are still more advantaged than most other people in the world, simply because we live in an industrialized nation with ample opportunities for education, employment, and access to resources. Why not see the glass as (at least) half full? It is just as important to acknowledge our present victories as our past failures.)

I should write a book about past and present leaders of the following who have made me feel the most unwelcome: a) Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party and b) Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: School board officials in Palm Beach County, Florida ordered the police to arrest and drag out a man for simply standing in the back of a room designated for unmasked individuals during a four-hour meeting over their draconian school mask mandate. “School police have advised me that people in the unmasked room are standing and refusing to sit.

While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, they were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians a) to give preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their Republican employees, and especially those who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
