CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “As the NRA meets in gun-friendly Indiana, new Illinois and federal laws aim to restrict weapons sales. But the next step must involve strengthening gun laws from coast to coast.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) run America and b) blame Republicans for gun violence instead of those who use guns illegally. What are the demographics of those who use guns illegally? What are the demographics of their victims?

— Democrats say “Fake active shooter threats reported at more than 20 schools across Illinois, including Whitney Young High School. The so-called “swatting” incidents targeting schools have been a growing problem since last fall when schools in 14 states reported them.” Of course, Democrats use shooter threats to promote hatred against Republicans.

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/abortion-providers-still-use-abortion-pill-after-court-orders
— Democrats say “Illinois conservatives question Democrats’ convention choice.” Who are the conservative leaders in your municipality, in your township, in your county, and in Illinois? I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. In 2012, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in destroying TAPROOT. I should write a book about that.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/illinois-conservatives-question-democrats-convention-choice
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement, the Illinois General Assembly’s Freedom Caucus, which represents the Legislature’s most conservative members, questioned how the city can serve as the backdrop for a presidential candidate who has to run nationally. The seven-member group of state representatives focused on crime. “We would hope the Democrats coming to Chicago could learn a lesson about how not to govern but we are not holding our breath,” the caucus said in a statement. “The selection of Chicago, which just elected another soft-on-crime mayor, as the site for the 2024 Democratic National Convention speaks volumes about where the party is on the issue of crime.” The statement went on to praise, of all people, Bill Clinton, the last presidential candidate to be nominated at a Chicago convention, in 1996. “Democrats danced the Macarena at the convention as they celebrated the nomination of crime-fighter Bill Clinton, who made public safety the centerpiece of his 1996 campaign,” the caucus said. “When Democrats gather in Chicago in 2024, they will be facing the hard truth that Bill Clinton’s centrist policies no longer have the support of the majority of Democrats.” “New Democrat” Clinton, indeed, was more of a centrist than the current president, Joe Biden. But last time I checked, Republicans led by their conservative wing were busy trashing Clinton and his wife, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as being tarnished and unfit to lead America. Neither Mayor Lori Lightfoot nor Gov. J.B. Pritzker had any immediate response to the statement.)

I should write a book about Republican primary races and nonpartisan races on ballots in my precinct since 2000 that turned the most negative. I would focus on those races in which a) the losing candidates blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their losses and b) the winning candidates blamed me and my newsletters the most for their small victory margins.)

They forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. The forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

AMERICAN CONSERVATVE
— Think Twice Before Firing – John Hirschauer (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors did not have to think twice before they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They knew that I would sue and that I would lose. They knew that Democrats and RINOs controlled the courts. They knew that I had no “jury appeal” because my demographics were terrible: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, childless, draft-avoider, non-poor, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, and Wheaton resident since 1978. They knew that my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives would not come to my defense: They knew that with my losing in court, they could argue both a) that they discriminated against me because that was exactly what Congress wanted they to do with their employees who shared my demographics and/or b) that they never discriminated against me and that all the many adverse actions that they took against me were justified because I was an extremely “bad person.”)

Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action to get rid of Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used AA and up-or-out and budget cuts and my opposition to political affiliation, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to take many adverse actions against me. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests and forced me to resign in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, never promoted me beyond GS-12, and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $21.863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

PBS
— Democrats say “Majority of Americans say they or a family member has faced gun violence.” One would expect that the more time that you spend in high-crime areas, the more likely that you will be faced with gun violence. When Democrats move in, crime increases.

BROOKINGS
— Democrats say “Younger voters are poised to upend American politics.” Anticipate that ever-increasingly, that as you get older, your employer, the organizations that you are a member of, etc. will get rid of you, and especially if you are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if you ancestors have been in America for a long time. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I should write a book about that.
