— Tens of thousands without power as strong storms roll through Chicago area. More outages are likely as the storms continue to churn through the area. DD: What exposure do you have to weather-caused power, internet, and phone outages? Overhead lines about 200 feet long to the west of my home at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton expose me to weather-caused power, internet, and phone outages big time. The line is in a utility easement on private property that is full of trees that have not been trimmed for decades and pull the lines down and to the north. I have filed a “tree and vegetation request” with ComEd, and outstandingly, a ComEd employee can out today to inspect. According to Xfinity and AT&T, they cannot do any trimming until ComEd is done. It would be great if all the lines would be put underground. The last outage caused me more problems because my 17-month-old 24kW Generac failed.

— Parent PLUS Caps Just Changed the Math on Paying for College: How Will You Fill the Gap? For years, Parent PLUS filled whatever tuition gap was left over.

https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/student-loans/new-parent-plus-caps-how-to-fill-borrowing-gaps
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you take out your first PLUS loan for a child starting a program on or after July 1, 2026, you can borrow $20,000 a year per student, up to $65,000 in total. . .Why $65,000 falls short fast. Sixty-five thousand dollars sounds like plenty until you hold it against a real tuition bill. At an in-state public university, it might stretch across all four years. At a private college running $80,000 or $90,000 a year, it barely dents the gap PLUS used to close. The old program rose with the price of the school. The new one ignores it. A family sending a child to a $25,000 school and a family sending one to a $90,000 school get the same $65,000, which means the households that stretched hardest for an expensive school are the first to hit the wall.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois’ new budget includes a variety of new taxes. One of those targets social media companies that operate in the state. Here’s how it’s supposed to work: Platforms that have 100,000 to almost half a million users will be taxed 10¢ a month for each user. That’s the lowest tier. It increases for middle tier platforms with 500,000 users to just shy of a million users. That charge will be $40,000 a month and an additional 25¢ a month for each user above the half a million mark. The highest tax tier is for platforms with a million or more users. Their fee is $165,000 a month on top of 50¢ a month for each user beyond the million mark. The tax is projected to raise $200 million a year, and social media platforms can’t pass along the fees to their users.)

My critics/opponents cannot say that because they had wealthy parents. I did yard work in 1962, 1963, and 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. According to my critics/opponents, the aforesaid jobs prove that I have always been an unmitigated loser.

— Trump calls on Thune to fire Senate parliamentarian. DD: My critics/opponents do not publicly call for adverse actions to be taken against me. Instead, they have their operatives and their dupes take adverse actions against me for them. They had their operatives and their dupes a) end my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) end my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman in 2012, e) end my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) end my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, g) almost get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) defeat my bid for the open as a MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who still have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois.

My critics/opponents have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

All of the time, experience, ability, and motivation to put the newsletter together and to send them out comes from me. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions are worth a least $1,000/year. But I send them out free of charge, without any advertising, and without any donation requests. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. I do not want anyone to call my tunes.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent refuses to say whether Trump remains exempt from IRS audits. DD: Has IRS audited you? To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions when I was 29 years old in 1978. I had deducted graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1978. They outrageously, disgustingly, falsely, and unethically argued in tax court a) that the courses I deducted did not relate to my job duties, b) that they did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took them to get a job in the private sector, and d) that I took them to qualify myself for a new trade or business. They outrageously, disgustingly, falsely, and unethically ignored the fact a) that my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take the courses, b) that the course descriptions and my position descriptions show that the courses are deductible, and c) that I had stated in my applications that I wanted to take the courses to maintain and improve my IRS job skills. They would not have disallowed the courses a) if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran and/or b) if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

— America’s ‘Marriage Material’ Shortage. Adults are significantly less likely to be married or to live with a partner than they used to be. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote LGBTQ, that is, they ever-increasingly destroy traditional marriage and family. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Aaron Del Mar, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, has filed objections with the Illinois State Board of Elections challenging more than 20,000 signatures submitted by independent gubernatorial candidate Collin Corbett. Validity question: Del Mar and Republican activist Kristina McCloy contend that a review of Corbett’s petitions uncovered “thousands of potentially invalid signatures,” according to a statement announcing the challenge. “Illinois voters deserve fair, transparent and lawful elections,” Del Mar said in a statement. He is running alongside Republican gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey. Corbett’s campaign said it was “reviewing the objection, but we know we have over 25,000 valid signatures, so we’re not worried,” via the Tribune. Why it matters: In Illinois politics, petition season is often the first campaign — and sometimes the most consequential. Ballot challenges can knock candidates out before a single vote is cast. What’s next: Election lawyers, hearing officers and signature experts now take center stage as the Illinois State Board of Elections begins sorting through the competing claims. Petitions must be certified by Aug. 21, according to the Board of Elections.

I should write about the many big Prohibited Personnel Practices that my Democrat superiors took against me, not the least of which included a) my Democrat GAO superiors forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delaying my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forcing me take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forcing me to resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

https://www.nprillinois.org/2026-06-03/trump-strips-job-protections-from-8-000-federal-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump has issued an executive order turning an estimated 8,000 federal workers into at-will employees, which means the government could fire them without providing any reason. The move culminates an effort Trump launched during his first term to strip vast numbers of federal employees of civil service protections designed to insulate their work from political interference. Nearly all of the 8,000 people affected are at the highest level of the civil service, known as GS-15. The Trump administration characterizes the roles as senior positions with significant influence over policy. They include leaders of policy offices and their chiefs of staff, heads of regional offices, program managers, senior public affairs officers and those overseeing spending and grants. The number of positions affected by Wednesday’s executive order is smaller than many anticipated. Originally, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) estimated some 50,000 positions could be reclassified. The administration has not ruled out expanding the pool at a later time. Tripling the number of at-will employees. The federal government currently has about 4,000 political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president. Until now, the rest of the workforce of approximately 2 million people could only be fired for certain reasons, such as inadequate performance or misconduct. In those situations, agencies must follow formal processes, including giving the employee an opportunity to appeal. But in February, the administration finalized a rule creating a new category of at-will employees called Schedule Policy/Career. (During Trump’s first term, it was known as Schedule F.) It was facing multiple lawsuits even before Wednesday’s order which spells out which jobs are now at-will. “The people responsible for protecting our public health, safeguarding our environment, delivering our mail, managing our airports, protecting our public lands, and enforcing our laws should be allowed to do their jobs, not targeted by the same government they serve,” said Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward, one of the organizations suing the Trump administration over the rule. “When government experts can be fired without cause, it’s not just federal workers who are harmed — it’s the people across the country who rely on these essential services every day.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Crete police request charges against 20 juveniles related to Crete-Monee High School chaos. DD: What is your municipality doing to stop Democrat teen takeovers? I graduated from CMHS in 1966. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I lived in University Park full-time 1972-1974 and part-time 1974-1976.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/29/crete-juvenile-charges-school-chaos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Crete Police Department has petitioned the Will County state’s attorney’s office for charges against 20 juveniles involved in a series of fights at Crete-Monee High School on May 12, Chief Scott Pieritz said in a news release Thursday. That day, “Crete-Monee High School had multiple fights occur which resulted in a chaotic, dangerous environment. This played out on social media, with videos being shared and causing community uproar and disharmony,” Pieritz said in the release. He said the 20 juveniles would be petitioned for “crimes including disorderly conduct, battery, and mob action.” Pieritz said recent “teen takeover” occurrences showed it was important to arrest and prosecute juvenile offenders in similar incidents. Most recently, one such gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood over Memorial Day weekend led to dozens of arrests and a shooting that wounded three, according to Chicago police. “We have all seen the “teen takeover” mobs occurring around the country,” Pieritz said. “We cannot and will not allow that mentality to take root in our town.” Pieritz also released a letter addressed to the Will County state’s attorney’s office, urging that charges be filed due to the severity of the May 12 chaos. “I find it necessary to write this letter due to the seriousness of this incident, the public safety concern for all students and staff of the Crete-Monee High School, a deterrent against future violent and disruptive acts, and for the retention of public confidence in the police department restoring order in the school,” Pieritz wrote to the state’s attorney’s office. A security guard was injured and went to the hospital, Pieritz said, and misinformation was spread widely on social media, including claims that weapons were present and that a student had been thrown over a balcony. “This caused a frenzy of responses on social media including those questioning the safety of students in Crete schools, disparaging remarks about the school administration, village of Crete, and police department,” Pieritz said. The state’s attorney’s office said in a statement that the case is currently being processed, and that it has not yet received materials for review. “We have a strong and longstanding working relationship with the Village of Crete Department of Police and Chief Pieritz,” the state’s attorney’s office said in its statement. “As with any case, we will conduct an independent review of the facts, evidence, and applicable law once the matter is formally presented to us.” It would be inappropriate to comment further until that review is complete, the state’s attorney’s office said. The police department ordinarily aims to defer disciplinary issues at schools to staff for resolution rather than taking punitive action, Pieritz said. “This incident in no way represents the vast majority of students at the high school, who I know to be good kids, just trying to navigate their teenage years,” Pieritz said.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Weaponization fund. DD: Should I apply? My Democrat U.S. Senators and my Democrat U.S. Representatives weaponized my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors against me. They had my superiors waste my career and take many big adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always stressed that in Diersen v. GAO, not only Bush’s DOJ sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me, but that no Republican federal elected officials in Illinois came to my defense, that is, they sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. To side with my Democrat GAO superiors, is to promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
