— I protested Vietnam War at DNC 1968. – Terry Ratner (COMMENT: Anticipate/expect that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will ever-increasingly stress that Trump avoided the Vietnam War draft. Duckworth will take the lead. Did the Vietnam War draft impact you? It impacted me big time. Both those who supported the war and those who opposed the war used it against me. I did not enlist. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. Those who supported the war stressed that I was 1-A, that I did not enlist, and that I got draft deferments. Those who opposed the war stressed that I was a Republican. They stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, a new townhome in 1972, and condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976. They stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and an MBA in 1976. In my defense, I earned the money for the aforesaid by washing dishes 1964-1966, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966, delivering mail 1966-1969, working on an automobile assembly line in 1970, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumping gasoline 1971-1972, and collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980. Further, they stressed that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I took big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975. and 1976. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I would not have been able to do the aforesaid if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft. Further, they have always stressed that because of my health problems, I would not have been sent into combat anyway. My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me the most. I should write a book about that.)

— Did you get any scholarships? I did not. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. Further, they have always used against me my not getting any financial hardship scholarships to hint/imply/argue/shout that my parents were filthy rich. They ignore the fact that to pay for my undergraduate college expenses and for cars to get to/from classes, I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, and worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. All the time I spent doing the aforesaid harmed my GPA.

DAILY HERALD
— Nixon’s advice: A half century later, what lessons are we to take from the only presidential resignation in history? – Editorial (COMMENT: My Democrat IRS superiors hated Nixon. They took their hatred against Nixon out on me. I was one of their extremely few White male employees who was Republican and non-veteran. They disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. They got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. They made it extremely clear that I would never be promoted again. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.)

i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.
In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized an applicant forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna as IRP’s chairman. The participants in that forum were John Cox, Stephen McGlynn, McKenna, and Jim Nalepa. Jim Oberweis wanted to participate, but could not.
In 2013, I attended the IRP SCC meeting in Springfield at which IRP chairman applicants gave five minute presentations on why they should be the next IRP chairman. Jack Dorgan was selected. The other applicants were Angel Garcia, Jim Nalepa, Mark Shaw, Don Tracy, Joe Walsh, and Lori Yokoyama.
Richard Williamson was the IRP chairman 1999–2001, Lee Daniels 2001–2002, Dallas Ingemunson 2002 (interim), Gary MacDougal, 2002–2002, Judy Baar Topinka 2002–2005, Andrew McKenna 2005–2009, Pat Brady 2009–2013, Jack Dorgan 2013–2014, Tim Schneider 2014–2021; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman 2018–2024, and Don Tracy 2021–present.
Why is the Illinois Democrat Party (IDP) as successful as the IRP is unsuccessful, that is, what distinguishes IDP leaders from IRP leaders? ANSWER: IDP leaders believe in and defend/advance all the planks in the Democrat Party platform while IRP leaders reject or fail/refuse to defend/advance many planks, if not most planks, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many of them paint themselves as being Democrat Lite and are Democrat Lite. The aforesaid is a direct result of IDP SCC members being directly elected by Democrats while IRP SCC members are not directly elected by Republicans. I should write a book about IRP leaders since 2000 and the planks in the Republican Party platform that they have rejected or failed/refused to defend/advance.

DAILY HERALD
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Democrats and RINOs blame following planks in the Republican Party platform for Republican loses: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving). But Republican failure/refusal to defend and advance the aforesaid planks is the real reason for the loses:

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. They have always hinted/implied/agued/shouted that proved that my parents were filthy rich. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 6-cylinder 2-door Chevrolet. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and I.)
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/23/upshot/male-kindergarten-teachers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Boys are falling behind in school. They are less likely than girls to be ready for kindergarten. They read at lower levels. They graduate from high school at lower rates. This gender gap in education has significantly widened just in the last generation. One group is uniquely positioned to help put boys on the right track in their first year of formal schooling: men who teach kindergarten. Yet only around 3 percent of kindergarten teachers are men. Many studies show that older boys benefit from having male teachers. There hasn’t been as much research on the youngest students and their teachers — in large part because there are so few male teachers in early education to begin with. Still, it stands to reason that men who teach kindergarten can make a difference for boys, said Thomas S. Dee, a Stanford professor who has for decades researched the effect of teacher demographics on students.)

— Romney scorches Bragg’s ‘political decision’ in Trump case: ‘Malpractice’ ‘Democrats think they can put out the Trump fire with oxygen,’ Romney said. – Julia Johnson (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the many big adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me that motivated me to do things. For example, their keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988 and assigning me to audits of federal financial industry regulators motivated me to a) earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, b) become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, c) become a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, d) become a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, and e) become a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. For example, their keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 motivated me to a) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

(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.)

DAILY MAIL
— Chicago has spent $138 MILLION on city’s migrant crisis in 14 months after 26,000 were bused in – more cash than was given to city’s public library network.
About 26,000 migrants arrived in the city by buses since August last year. The city spent nearly a million on the shuttered migrant camp at Brighton Park. – DOLORES CHANG

— 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.

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.)
