— How much one parent needs to earn so the other can stay home in every U.S. state. DD: In Illinois, it is $79,102/year. In today’s dollars, my father never earned more than $50,000/year. He died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21 in 1969. My mother, who never attended high school, never worked outside of the home until after he died. She stayed at home and raised me and my brother. Consequently, I did yard work 1962-1964. 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, and I worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970. I had to work my way through college.

HINDUSTAN TIMES
— Cole Allen: Wife and marriage. A claim has gone viral on social media that Allen was married. To be sure, these claims have been made by unverified profiles. They allege that Allen is married to one Priyanka Rao, and the posts claim she’s an Indian. An alleged photo of Rao’s passport has also been shared alongside an alleged image of Allen and her together.
https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/cole-tomas-allen-married-fact-check-claims-about-wife-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-suspect-motive-details-101777237413313.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: However, there is nothing to suggest that the alleged shooter was married. The image of the passport shared appears to be a doctored image. On close inspection, it shows that the nationality of Allen’s alleged wife is also listed as Cole Tomas Allen – which is not possible. No mainstream media coverage has indicated that Allen was married, and makes no mention of any serious relationship either. As per a NBC report, Allen lived with his parents. Paul Thompson, one of Allen’s neighbors, told NBC that Allen lived with his parents and rode a blue moped around the area. Noting Allen was “not necessarily friendly,” Thompson added that he had not noticed anything off about him. Further, the person said that that Allen’s “parents are nice, friendly people,” and the “father especially knows everybody.” Allen’s sister also confirmed that he had purchased two handguns and a shotgun from CAP Tactical Firearms and kept them stored at their parents’ home, the publication further reported. . .While details about Allen continue to emerge many are also curious as to his motive. It has now come to light that the Los Angeles man had sent writings to his family members before the attack, where he referred to himself as a “Friendly Federal Assassin”. Authorities believe the attack to be politically motivated, as per Associated Press. Before the shooting at Washington Hilton, Allen sent out writings which made repeated references to President Donald Trump though he was not named directly. The writings also alluded to grievances over a range of administration actions, including the strikes on boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean.)

— Why was Cole Tomas Allen shirtless? WHCD shooter’s photos raise questions amid claims of Instagram being deleted.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: An official reason for Cole Tomas Allen being shirtless was not provided. However, in such situations, law enforcement officials are known to remove the clothes off a suspect to check for additional weapons or explosives, or anything else that might be dangerous that the individual might have on their person. . .While the likely reason for Allen’s clothes being removed was tied to security reasons, it sparked plenty of social media speculation. It came mostly from unverified profiles. A claim was made that Allen was wearing an IDF tee-shirt or an Israeli Defense Forces tee-shirt. This springs from an alleged image of his that has been doing the rounds online. . .There were also claims that he was seen in this IDF tee-shirt before his Instagram profile was taken down. “Cole Allen was seen in an IDF sweatshirt on his Instagram before his profile was removed,” a page on X claimed. However, the photo in the IDF tee does not appear to be true. Grok fact checked claims saying “The image is a fake composite. The suspect in the WHCD shooting is Cole Tomas Allen, 31, a California tutor/computer science grad from Torrance with no reported IDF, Israeli, or military ties of any kind. Media and law enforcement photos of him (grad cap/gown, shirtless in custody) don’t match this couch shot. The IDF emblem was clearly added to manufacture a “coincidence” conspiracy. No credible reporting supports it.” HT.com could not independently verify the claims about Allen and IDF either. Notably, Allen’s Instagram profile may have been taken down by law enforcement, as they sometimes do to examine the feeds for potential clues or evidence, in such cases. However, after his arrest, a Facebook and LinkedIn account linked to Allen reportedly remained active.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-suspect-cole-allen/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cole Thomas Allen, the suspected gunman who tried to attack the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, left behind what officials are calling a written “manifesto” in which he clearly stated he wanted to target officials in the Trump administration, a senior U.S. official told CBS News. . .The suspect was apprehended at the scene. Allen, 31, was an educator from Torrance, California, with an engineering degree from a prestigious university. Authorities found anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on the suspect’s social media accounts, the senior official said. . .A total of at least five to eight gunshots were fired during the incident, two law enforcement sources told CBS News. In a late-night news conference, Jeff Carroll, interim chief of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, said the suspect was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives when he attempted to charge a security checkpoint outside the dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel. President Trump posted a photo to social media showing the shirtless suspect on the floor of the hotel with his arms tied behind his back after being detained. . .Allen — who was seen on surveillance video charging through metal detectors outside the ballroom where the dinner was taking place — had a record of firearm ownership. He purchased the shotgun used in Saturday’s shooting in August 2025, according to two law enforcement sources. He also owned another semiautomatic pistol, purchased in 2023, they said. . .Allen earned a degree in mechanical engineering at Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, in 2017, before going on to receive a master’s in computer science at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2025, the sources said. Caltech confirmed to CBS News in an email that Allen graduated from the university in 2017. A LinkedIn profile linked to suspect identifies him as a self-employed video game developer and part-time teacher. He worked for a tutoring firm in Torrance called C2 Education, two law enforcement sources told CBS News. He received a “Teacher of the Month” award from the company in December 2024. . .Another family member who was interviewed by investigators after the attack said Allen made radical statements and that he constantly referenced a plan to do “something” to fix the issues with today’s world. Family members told investigators Allen would regularly go to the shooting range to train with his firearms. They said was part of a group called “The Wide Awakes” and attended a “No Kings” protest in California. According to federal campaign finance records, Allen donated $25 to Democratic Party PAC ActBlue for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign in 2024.)

MSN
— DD: My Civil Service Retirement System pension and retirement savings are dramatically less because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/5-reasons-you-might-be-forced-to-unretire-in-2026-even-with-savings/ar-AA21ttQ2
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly 1 in 3 American retirees (31%) have considered going back to work either part- or full-time as a means to earn or save more money during retirement. That’s likely in response to a decrease in their standard of living, which a vast majority say they’ve had to adjust due to their retirement income.)
— The cost of raising a child has surged 28% in just 3 years — and it’s not slowing down. DD: My wife and I got married in 1978 when I was 29 and she was 27. We lived on one of our paychecks in anticipation of our having children. But we gave up trying to have children because we both had major fertility problems. My Democrat GAO superiors used that and our not adopting or becoming foster parents against me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about our efforts to have children. All my Democrat GAO superiors had children. They all complained about their paychecks and the time and money they spent raising their children. Their spouses had little or no income. According to them, if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able a) to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt, b) to earn a master’s degree in accounting, c) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, or d) to become a licensed CPA.

DD: During the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, they had my supervisors do everything that they could to get rid of me. They were furious when I refused to take their $25,000 buyout and early retirement “offer” when I was 45 in 1993. The buyout expired in 1994. They succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” just before it expired on September 30, 1997. They had my supervisors make it clear that if I did not take their early retirement “offer,” they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They made it clear that they would constructively, if not literally, demote me and that they would give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance evaluations. I continue to ask myself what would have happened if I had not succumbed to their threats.

— It’s harder to hide from a bad job market in grad school. DD: When I started my senior year at NIU when I was 21 in 1969, my plan was to get an MBA at NIU. But that all changed when my father died suddenly. My mother had never attended high school, she had never worked outside the home, and my brother was having problems. So I accepted the only job offer that I got, applied for a financial hardship draft deferment, moved in with them in Crete, and helped support them. Because of all that, I did not earn an MBA until I was 27 in 1976. By then, it was too late.

— With entry-level jobs vanishing, Gen Z grads are ditching corporate America. DD: When I graduated from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management when I was 21 in 1970, I applied to many fortune 500 firms. Only Firestone Stores offered me a job, and it was for a job that really did not require a college degree. In the name of “training,” my boss used me like I was a car mechanic trainee. All the firms that I applied to were under tremendous pressure from EEOC to hire minorities, females, and veterans. I was not a minority, female, or veteran. To make matters worse, potential employers saw me as being Vietnam War draft bait. They did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. Beyond that, my GPA was not that great because to work my way through college, I had spent far too many hours delivering mail instead of studying.

— I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. My critics/opponents succeeded in having their operatives and their dupes end my chairmanship and destroy TAPROOT in 2012. My critics/opponents have always blamed me for all the problems that TAPROOT had.
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM GOOGLE AI: The Taproot Republicans of Illinois is a DuPage County-based political organization that focuses on public policy and supporting Republican candidates. Historically, it has been active in hosting events such as candidate forums and annual brunches to engage with policymakers. The group prioritizes public policy and policymakers over purely partisan campaign activities. It primarily operates within DuPage County, often hosting meetings in areas like Downers Grove or Willowbrook. The organization has historically honored prominent Illinois Republicans, such as the late U.S. Congressman Henry J. Hyde, who received awards from the group for his defense of the Constitution. While the group has held recurring events like an “annual brunch” as recently as 2024, it maintains a relatively low digital profile compared to larger state-level political committees.)

http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM GOOGLE AI: The Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) is a political organization that aims to unify various conservative and center-right factions within Illinois. It often serves as a networking and coordinating body for Republican candidates, activists, and affiliated organizations to promote conservative principles in the state. ICRC frequently provides endorsements for local and statewide candidates who align with their platform. For instance, current 2026 Republican Secretary of State nominee Diane Harris has previously served as the chair of the coalition. The group hosts annual conventions and forums to bring together conservative leaders and discuss policy priorities for Illinois. It operates as a hub for precinct committeepersons and grassroots organizers to share campaign information and coordinate social platform outreach. The coalition generally adheres to traditional center-right and conservative viewpoints, including: Fiscal Conservatism: Prioritizing balanced budgets and reducing government waste. Economic Liberty: Promoting free enterprise and private property rights. Social Values: Supporting Judeo-Christian frameworks and traditional family structures. Governance: Advocating for election integrity, secure borders, and limited government scope. ICRC remains active in the 2026 election cycle, with former and current members participating in primary races to challenge incumbent Democratic officials.)

— Is grad school the new gap year for a lackluster job market? DD: When I started my senior year at NIU in 1969, my plan was to get an MBA at NIU. But that all changed when my father died suddenly. My mother had never attended high school, she had never worked outside the home, and my brother was having problems. So I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment, accepted the only job offer that I got, moved in with them in Crete, and helped support them. Because of all that, I did not earn an MBA until I was 27 in 1976. By then, it was too late.
