I camcorded his speech. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have always vehemently opposed Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.

NEW YORK TIMES
— JUNE 9, 2017 FLASHBACK: Stop and Acknowledge How Much Luck Has to Do With Your Success – Carl Richards (COMMENT: What do you assert was bad luck and not your fault? All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, my superiors were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” In 1987, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing my GAO mentor to retire; he had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year in 1986. In 1981, Charles Bowsher took over GAO and ran it for the next 15 years. Under Bowsher, GAO shrank dramatically and is now just a shell of what it once was. I suffered a 21% ($20,361/year) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In 1975, my Democrat IRS superiors succeeded in forcing my IRS mentor to transfer to Texas; he had promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, and to GS-12, currently $85,935/year, in 1974. Republican losses in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton increased dramatically since I a) became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, b) served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, c) served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering member 2003-2007, d) served as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, e) served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and f) raised funds from DuPage Republicans 2005-2019 so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. Ever-increasingly those who move into my precinct are Democrats. My wife and I have fertility problems serious enough to stop us from having children.)

— Acknowledging my forefather’s harmful bigotry – JUDITH RACE (COMMENT: Soon, if not already, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs will demand that White male Republicans disclose everything that their forefathers did. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 he was 47 and I was 21 years old. My father’s parents and his grandparents operated a hardware store in Crete. My mother’s parents and her grandparents operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.)

My ancestors on my mother’s side immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, were sharecroppers on land in Grant Park along the Indiana border, and subsequently bought that land.)
