— 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.)

— Democrats say “Citywide hiring fair offers opportunities for job seekers in Chicago.” What jobs have you had? 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, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. Anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout a) that all the jobs that you had were bad jobs, b) that you did not get better jobs because of you had many serious faults and shortcomings, c) that you were nevertheless grossly overpaid, and d) that they would never stoop to take the jobs that you took. 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.)

I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between.

My critics/opponents have always stressed that I never got any scholarships and if I had, I would not have had to work my way through college. Thet stress that I only his barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and that my ACT was only 24. I should write a book about my critic/opponents.

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.)

— A Migrant Windfall: Nine Grand Each for Housing in Chicago. Biden demands loans and credit cards for illegals – so much for sustainable. – Joe Schaeffer
https://www.libertynation.com/a-migrant-windfall-nine-grand-each-for-housing-in-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Americans struggle mightily to cope with the buckling effects of inflation on food, gasoline, and other necessities, the benefits for illegal migrant newcomers keep piling up. The state of Illinois is funding temporary housing for migrants, providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over six months. 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.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/student-with-1590-sat-score-rejected-by-16-colleges
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Zhong’s story has begun to gather some media attention, which was the subject of discussion at a recent House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing. Yet almost all of the stories failed to mention the likely reason Zhong was rejected: He’s Asian. For years, colleges have been quietly discriminating against Asians in the admission process, admitting white, black, and Latino students with lower SAT scores and lower GPAs in the name of inclusivity. The problem for Asians is that, as a group, they tend to score really well. This means there’s an abundance of highly qualified Asians applying to universities each year. This would not be a problem for Asian students if not for race-conscious universities, which, in recent years, have demonstrated a preference for social equity and racial balance over merit. As a result, untold numbers of Asians have found themselves excluded from universities simply because of their race.)

— IN WHAT SENSE ARE ILLEGALS ILLEGAL? – JOHN HINDERAKER (COMMENT: Of course, illegals do/will use their false identifications to vote for Democrats. Soon, if not already, Democrats and RINOs will have brought in enough illegals that no Republican will ever be elected again.)
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/10/in-what-sense-are-illegals-illegal.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So there isn’t much left of the illegality that comes with sneaking across the southern border. The Biden administration, with help from blue states, has effectively rewritten–or, more accurately, repealed–the nation’s immigration laws. They had no legal power to do this. Congress never voted to abolish our immigration laws, nor would it. The acceptance of illegal immigration is opposed by an overwhelming majority of Americans, but we never had a chance to vote on it. This is perhaps the clearest indication of the fact that the cabal that controls America has zero regard for democracy, for democratic processes, or for the views of most Americans.)

— Seven New States – Jim Ross Lightfoot (COMMENT: How many illegals are in America, in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? How soon, if not already, will they have enough voting power to get rid of Republicans once and for all?)
https://townhall.com/columnists/jimrosslightfoot/2023/10/17/seven-new-states-n2629934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the United States Census Bureau, the most significant number floating around is 6,777,807. That represents the number of illegals who have entered our country since 2020. They came from around the world and flowed across our Texas – Mexico border. With them came pounds and pounds of drugs, millions of fentanyl pills, and we do not know how many Cartel members, murderers, child sex offenders, and others with criminal intent on their minds. As well, our Canadian border has been hemorrhaging. We do not see much about it on the news for some reason. 6,770,807. It is a huge number that is difficult for most of us to comprehend. Let us strive to put the 6.7 million amount into comparative numbers with something easy to understand. First, do a little research and find out the population of some of our smallest states. Those with populations under 1 million people are Wyoming, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Wyoming has the smallest population of 576,837, and Delaware is the largest among those with under 1 million people, with 989,957.)

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.

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.

— Democrats acknowledge that IRS acknowledges that “Gap between U.S. income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing.” 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. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. The Democrats who ran GAO kept me off of audits for all but 3 of those 18 years. During those 3 years, I worked on audits of what IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division did to close the tax gap. Further, after the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take early retirement, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives in Illinois, their staffs, and candidates for those offices further wasted my knowledge of IRS.

I earned a bachelor’s degree, three masters degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.

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.)

Illegals want/need/demand massive government assistance, lack education and/or job skills, and/or have health and/or other problems. Illegals are overwhelmingly minority, younger, and/or non-Protestant. To come into a country illegally is demonstrate your disrespect for that country and your disrespect for the rule of law.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Democrats acknowledge that IRS acknowledges that “Gap between US income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing.” 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. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. The Democrats who ran GAO kept me off of audits for all but 3 of those 18 years. During those 3 years, I worked on audits of what IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division did to close the tax gap. Further, after the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take early retirement, Republican U.S. Senators and Representatives in Illinois, their staffs, and candidates for those offices further wasted my knowledge of IRS.

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.”)

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.)

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.

Were it not for the Second Amendment, a) England would have invaded America in 1812, b) Mexico would have invaded America in 1846, c) Germany would have invaded America in 1917, d) Japan, Italy, and Germany would have invaded America in 1941, e) the Soviet Union would have invaded America in 1947, and f) Russia and China would have invaded America by now. Because Mexico and its allies work hand-in-hand with treasonous Democrats and treasonous RINOs and have not yet officially declared war on America, their invasion of America is ever-increasingly successful.

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— COMMENT: Democrats say “From repealing the weapons ban to no smoking here are five new bills lawmakers introduced.” Ever-increasingly, Illinois Democrats dominate Illinois and call those in Illinois who they cannot dominate “failed.”
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/02/05/here-are-five-new-bills-proposed-in-the-illinois-general-assembly/69859918007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Weapons ban: House Bill 1564 Legal challenges to Illinois’ ban on the sale and purchase of assault-style weapons have mounted in recent weeks at the state and federal levels. The efforts have been led by Republicans, including three lawsuits from failed Attorney General candidate Thomas DeVore. Earlier this week, a split appellate court upheld a decision by an Effingham County judge to issue a temporary restraining order in favor of DeVore and the 886 plaintiffs he was representing. Through House Bill 1564, Republicans seek to repeal several provisions of the Protect Illinois Communities Act — signed into law as Public Act 102-1116 by Pritzker during the lame-duck session. Specifically, the bill from state Rep. Dave Severin, R-Benton, would remove the act’s language that prevents an individual’s ability to “knowingly possess an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge,” as of Jan. 1, 2024. It would also return the firearm restraining order to six months instead of the current one-year order created by PICA. Severin is joined by nine other GOP co-sponsors in opposition to the ban passed under House Bill 5471. “The people that I represent, and indeed the people of our entire region believe the firearms ban that Governor Pritzker signed is a direct attack on Second Amendment rights, and I agree,” Severin said in a statement. “I am a pro-2nd Amendment legislator and always have been. I filed this bill because I believe firmly that the firearms ban is unconstitutional and it should be repealed immediately.”

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Des Plaines Councilwoman Alderman Carla Brookman slammed censor-happy leftists and hecklers during a recent city council meeting, proclaiming, “If you don’t allow discussion, that is a real problem in our society.” Woke residents of Des Plaines, Illinois, were outraged to discover that Awake Illinois, a conservative organization partnering with Moms for Liberty and Gays Against Groomers, was coming to speak at a city-owned theater, according to a report by PJ Media. The offended woke residents then called on the city to shut down the event, claiming it was being run by a “hate group.” “I looked at the online invitation and the lineup of speakers at this event, and it’s a very diverse guest panel, and they’re defending children and speaking of reforming education,” Councilwoman Brookman said during a January 17 city council meeting.)

— DuPage County Divided Over Drawing of County Election Precinct Maps
(COMMENT: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs redraw precincts to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen like me. For the second time now, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have drawn me in to the same DuPage County Milton Precinct 9 in Wheaton with Jeanne Ives.)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/top-stories/dupage-county-divided-over-drawing-of-county-election-precinct-maps/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County voters could find they are grouped into fewer, larger precincts come the next election. Why Now? A new piece of legislation signed into law in November 2021 and discussed Tuesday at the county finance committee meeting reduces the number of DuPage County election precincts from 930 to 607. The current draft of the redrawn maps leaves fewer committeemen to serve as the voice of the voters, thereby impacting whether a party may be elected. What’s At Issue? Board member Amy Chavez said some precinct committee members and township officials have reached out to her, asking for changes to the proposed election precinct maps. “I think there is a lot of concern over these new lines,” Chavez said. Board member Sam Tornatore said something has to give. “It’s essentially a political attempt to change boundaries within precincts,” Tornatore said. The new state legislation comes on the heels of the county board agreeing on a new DuPage County redistricting map in a bipartisan effort in October 2021. Deputy County Clerk Adam Johnson said he stands by the election precinct maps put together by county clerk’s office staff. “It’s unavoidable that there’s going to be some people who are not happy with the way the maps turn out,” Johnson said. “Certainly, we’re open to constructive criticism on how that process could have been better massaged.” Board member Jim Zay said he would not support the precinct maps as proposed given the lack of time allotted for input. “We have a job to do,” Zay said. “This is not putting us in the best position to do our job.” Johnson tried to address concerns about the county clerk’s office getting input on the precinct maps. “While there hasn’t been a lot of time for as many outside parties to review the maps, from the feedback I have received, I haven’t heard much in the way of actual substantive complaints of how the maps were drawn in terms of meeting the state legislature’s requirements,” Johnson said. Tornatore said he doesn’t want to place blame on the county clerk’s office, but he believes taxpayer money may have been wasted. “I don’t know that the election division contemplated this legislation coming from Springfield,” Tornatore said. “I know it’s been kind of on the back burner. … Perhaps we should have taken it into consideration before we ordered as many printers as we did. But I’m going to presume that we have a printer for every precinct that if we now have 300-plus fewer precincts, we either should get a rebate for the money we spent or we’re going to have a lot of printers being stored that aren’t being used.” The county board authorized the purchase of new voting equipment valued at roughly $7.2 million in October 2021. That contract as awarded includes funding to pay for printers, among other things. The county has been in the process of matching polling places with election precincts to determine which ones will be combined into a single location. Officials anticipate a reduction in the number of polling places, but they believe the amount of new printers purchased will remain appropriate for the layout of available voting locations. Moving Forward. County board members acknowledge they don’t have a lot of time to spare. The election precinct maps need to be adopted no later than Friday. A special county board meeting on this topic is scheduled for Friday at 8 a.m.)
