— Naperville Labor Day parade marks end to ‘fastest summer ever’ for families
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/01/naperville-parade-end-to-summer-families/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attending the parade was perhaps an act of instinct for Roger Schaeffer, who has watched the festivities for three decades. The 73-year-old’s children have moved away. The crowd has gotten bigger and the politicians — a campaigning George W. Bush one year — come and go, he said. . .It’s a surprise that so few labor groups show up, a far cry from the union-dominated festivities held in Chicago, he noted.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Mayor Johnson slams Trump’s plan to target Chicago, vows to ‘defend our democracy’ at Labor Day rally. Mayor Brandon Johnson began his speech on Monday with a chant: “No federal troops in the city of Chicago! No militarized force in the city of Chicago!” Demonstrators said immigrants make America stronger and called for protections for working people over billionaires. Pritzker is a billionaire.

— 16 Careers for Car Lovers.

Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. I started with almost 3 years of federal seniority and lots of reinstated unused sick leave because I had worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years while I earned my bachelor’s degree.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250826/news/dupage-county-will-spend-up-to-147k-to-retain-springfield-lobbyists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The county will pay Marquardt & Humes Inc., no more than $94,500 for one year of lobbying work through Sept. 14, 2026. The firm’s lobbying team includes Scott Marquardt, who began his career as a prosecutor in the DuPage state’s attorney’s office, and John “Chip” Humes, who’s also a co-owner of the Humes Funeral Home in Addison. Though the political makeup of the county board has changed over the years, officials continued using Roger C. Marquardt & Co. as a state-level lobbyist. In 2024, Scott Marquardt and Humes solidified their business partnership, forming Marquardt & Humes, according to a firm overview. The county also will pay Raucci & Sullivan Strategies no more than $52,500 for one year of lobbying services through August 2026. Former Republican state Sen. Dave Sullivan is the firm’s president. Marc Poulos, who was a member of Gov. JB Pritzker’s transition team, also is part of the firm. Marquardt & Humes are “continuing our strong advocacy on behalf of DuPage County regarding ongoing transit negotiations,” Humes wrote in a letter to officials in July.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Democrat plants and RINOs become Republican Precinct Committeemen (RPC) and become leaders of Republican township, county, and state party organizations to get the Republican Party to strike its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform, that is, to destroy the Republican Party. These Democrat plants and RINOs focus on driving platform Republicans like me out of the party. I should write about them and the adverse actions that they have had their operatives and their dupes take against me since 1999. In 2000, they got one of their own to run against me for RPC. In 2004, they rudely fired me as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and rudely defeated me 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRO Treasurer. In 2006, they almost got the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. In 2007, they got ICRC to rudely throw me off its Steering Committee. In 2010, they again rudely fired me as MTRO webmaster. In 2012, they got TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois to rudely end my chairmanship. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021, they rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2024, the rudely ended my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. I should write about the aforesaid.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country,” said Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills. “What more could the governor do?” . . . Senate Republican Leader John Curran of Downers Grove accused Pritzker of “meddling in other states’ redistricting issues for national press coverage.” “He should be working to increase voter choice here in Illinois by calling for fair maps like he pledged when running for office,” Curran said. . . Illinois’ current congressional map was drawn to give Democrats an edge in nearly all of the state’s 17 districts, even though roughly 41% of the state’s voters supported Trump in the 2020 election and 44% of voters did so in 2024. Likewise, Trump carried 88 of Illinois’ 102 counties in 2020 and again in 2024. The gerrymandering is particularly obvious in the West and Northwest suburbs, where some districts curl through a dozen or more communities in multiple counties like ribbons in the wind. Curran said it’d be “impossible” to gerrymander the map more than it already has been. “Gerrymandering weakens our democracy and removes choice from voters,” Curran said. “It should be ended throughout the country — starting here in Illinois.”)

ABC NEWS
— The easiest way to understand gerrymandering is through the lens of two basic techniques: cracking and packing. Cracking splits groups of disfavored voters among multiple districts. With their electoral strength divided, cracked groups struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts because they are too small a share of the electorate to be effective. Packing is the opposite of cracking. With packing, map drawers cram members of disfavored groups or parties into as few districts as possible. The packed groups are able to elect their preferred candidates by overwhelming margins, but their voting strength is weakened everywhere else. These techniques are not mutually exclusive — both may be deployed by map drawers to engineer a decided partisan advantage. Illinois 3rd Congressional District is an example Hispanic packing.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was attractive. She was young. She was wealthy. She was demanding. She wanted all her employees to have a graduate degree in finance.  I got her appointed to the IIT board of directors for its master’s degree program in financial markets and trading that I completed in 1997. Nevertheless, she played a big role in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

https://nypost.com/2025/06/13/business/oracle-amazon-lockheed-martin-quietly-funding-trumps-military-parade/
— Ram admitted it screwed up by killing a legacy American-made engine known for its raw power — and is revved up to bring it back after facing major backlash. The automaker had discontinued the beloved HEMI V-8 engine from its 2025 Ram trucks as part of a “woke” pivot by the since-ousted CEO of parent company Stellantis Carlos Tavares. But new Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, who came out of retirement last year, offered up a mea culpa over the decision to pull the plug on the engine that powered the top-selling truck for decades. My 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max has a HEMI.

I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and I served as an ICRC officer 2003-2007. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT and ICRC. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2025/06/12/congress-vote-today-npr-pbs-funding
— Chicago Tribune offering newsroom buyouts. The Democrats who ran GAO on the 1990s used Gingrich budget cuts and buyouts and early outs to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. On October 1, 1993, when I was 45 years old and had 25 years of federal service, to get rid of me, they “offered” me a $25,000 buyout and early retirement. But I survived another 4 years. The following helped me survive: a) I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, b) I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, c) I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.
