(COMMENT: In your municipality, in your township, and in your county, what percent of those who cast Republican primary ballots want the Republican Party a) to officially strike the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform and b) to officially promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination? That is, what percent of those who cast Republican primary ballots are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs?)

— The end result of negative campaigning’s divisiveness – Editorial
(COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters big time for negative campaigning by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They especially blame me and blame my newsletters big time for negative campaigning during gubernatorial primaries. I should write a book about the following Republican gubernatorial primaries: 2002 (Jim Ryan, Pat O’Malley, Corrine Wood); 2006 (Judy Baar Topinka, Jim Oberweis, Bill Brady, Ron Gidwitz, Andy Martin); 2010 (Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard, Andy McKenna, Jim Ryan, Adam Andrzejewski, Dan Proft, and Bob Schillerstrom); 2014 (Bruce Rauner, Kirk Dillard, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford); 2018 (Bruce Rauner, Jeanne Ives); and 2022 (Darren Bailey, Richard Irvin, Gary Rabine, Paul Schimpf, Jesse Sullivan). I would focus on my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most a) for Jim Ryan losing in 2002 and 2010, b) for Judy Baar Topinka losing in 2006, c) for Bill Brady losing in 2006 and 2010, and d) for Bruce Rauner losing in 2018.)

NEWS RADIO 1310
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Located around 25 miles from Chicago, Wheaton is one of the city’s more religious suburbs. It’s the home of the well-regarded evangelical school Wheaton College, with many churches in the town. It also doubles as something of a college town in general, also home to the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus.
(COMMENT: My wife and have lived in Wheaton since 1978. I should write a book about my anti-Protestant anti-German American Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates 1978-1980 and my anti-Protestant anti-German American Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates 1980-1997 who demonized, denigrated, and condemned Wheaton the most as being full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, and bigots who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Why fewer men are attending college and what should be done – Angela Baldasare
(COMMENT: For those who do not have a college degree, opportunities for career advancement are extremely limited. Are you a White male who earned a college degree? If you were young today, would you have the motivation to do that? Ever-increasingly, Democrats force employers a) to hire, to retain, and to promote minorities and women for jobs that require a college degree, that is, b) to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of Whites and men for jobs that require a college degree. Therefore, ever-increasingly, White men a) do not attend college and b) take jobs that do not require a college degree. However, for those who do not have a college degree, opportunities for career success are extremely limited. If had not had a job-related bachelor’s degree, a) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, b) Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and c) IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not been taking graduate business courses, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. If I had not earned an MBA in 1976 and if I had not passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not been taking graduate courses 1992-1997 that were directly job-related, my Democrat GAO superiors would have forced me to take their early retirement “offer” much sooner than they did.)

BALLOTPEDIA
— 87% of Americans live in a county that has voted for the same party in the past three presidential elections – Samuel Wonacott
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the Democrat invasion a) of DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978 and b) of Wheaton’s West District and my precinct since 1984. I would focus on DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders who welcomed the invaders and to get their votes, got rid of conservatives, that is, got rid of platform Republicans, that is, got rid of Republicans. I would focus on those who especially got rid of conservatives who were White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
