FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge that “Chicago shootings: 2 children among at least 10 shot, 1 killed in weekend gun violence.”
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootings-this-weekend-violence-police/13171504/

— Democrats acknowledge that “Caught on camera: Thief steals scooter from Streeterville parking garage.”
https://abc7chicago.com/streeterville-chicago-crime-caught-on-video-surveillance-camera/13172007/

NBC5
— Democrats acknowledge that “Boy, 3, Shot in the Face Inside Calumet Heights Home.”
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-violence-shooting-boy-child-calumet-heights/3124963/
— Democrats say “Chicago Faith Leaders Unite With Anti-Violence March Following Teen Takeover.” Faith leaders overwhelmingly promote Democrat candidates. According to Democrats, Jesus was a liberal Democrat.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-faith-leaders-antiviolence-march-teen-takeover/3125026/

CBS2
— Democrats acknowledge that “2 young children shot in Chicago in 2 hours.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/2-young-children-shot-in-chicago-in-2-hours/
— Democrats say “U.S. Postal Service hiring for multiple positions at Chicago, suburban locations.” The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualitied Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I had never used pot. I had passed the postal employment examination. I had a clean driving record. I had graduated from Crete-Monee High School in the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was 24. I was a UIC student. I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. They hired me notwithstanding my being a conservative, Republican, draft avoider, Protestant (Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and I had been a Crete resident since 1948. They expected me to become a Democrat, but I did not.

WGN9
— Democrats say “Chase warns Chicago employees about potential for more downtown disturbances.”
https://wgntv.com/news/chicagocrime/chase-warns-chicago-employees-about-potential-for-more-downtown-disturbances/
— Democrats acknowledge that “Berwyn, Chicago police beef up security, patrols ahead of possible large teen gatherings.”
https://wgntv.com/western-suburbs/berwyn-chicago-police-beef-up-security-patrols-ahead-of-possible-large-teen-gatherings/

FOX32
— Democrats say that Brandon Johnson tells Chicago convention that “days ahead will always be better.” I should write a book about how my career opportunities in the federal government decreased and how my advancement opportunities in the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) decreased. As my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors came under ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of their Republican employees, they took more and more and more adverse actions against me to get rid of me. As my MTRO leaders came under ever-increasing pressure from anti-conservative and conservative-hating Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Illinois Republican Party to get rid of conservatives, they took more and more and more adverse actions against me.

https://news.wttw.com/2023/04/22/we-won-t-stand-it-american-library-association-s-tracie-hall-talks-book-ban-efforts

WGN RADIO
— Democrats say “Trump, stinging from a rebuke by the nation’s leading anti-abortion group, used a speech Saturday before influential evangelicals in Iowa to spotlight his actions as president to try to restrict abortion rights.” While he was in office, Trump did far more than either Bush to defend and advance the Republican Party platform.
https://wgnradio.com/news/political-news/2024-republican-hopefuls-set-to-meet-with-iowa-evangelicals/

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “Youth violence, policing and the tough road ahead for Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/4/22/23689679/chicago-violence-downtown-loop-mayhem-31st-street-shooting-brandon-johnson-youth
— Democrats acknowledge that “Man fatally shot inside Grand Crossing home.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2023/4/22/23693349/man-fatally-shot-grand-crossing-77th

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Democrats say “Brandon Johnson’s win as mayor furthers Democratic leftward tilt as party examines big tent philosophy.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party are anti-conservative if not conservative-haters. I should write a book about that.

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats say “McHenry County-specific law unconstitutional, judge rules The Illinois Township Code article, signed in 2019, allowed only McHenry County to dissolve its townships.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about township elected officials and township employees who since 2000 have falsely hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I want township government to be abolished. I would focus on those township elected officials and township employees who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. Better yet, I should sue them.

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230422/prepared-for-anything-krishnamoorthi-far-outpaces-suburban-peers-in-1st-quarter-fundraising
— Democrats say “2023 Best Places to Work in Illinois.” Because the Democrats who run the federal government give tremendous preference to their employees who are the following, the federal government is the best place to work for the following: liberal, moderate, Democrat, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, parents, veteran, disabled, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20230423/2023-best-places-to-work-in-illinois-to-be-honored-may-11

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Democrats say “Uninformed American public bears part of the blame.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are uninformed. I should write a book about those who are the most uninformed. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those a) who do not read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, b) who crow that they do not read the newsletters, and/or c) who do everything that they can to stop me from sending the newsletters out and/or to stop everyone from reading the newsletters. I would focus on those who have little or no experience working for Democrats, working with Democrats, and/or supervising Democrats. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, I gained tremendous experience working for Democrats, working with Democrats, and supervising Democrats. I would focus on my critic/opponents who are the following: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) religious leaders, and conservative leaders. I would focus on my critics/opponents a) who have never lived outside of DuPage County and/or b) who have never worked outside of DuPage County. I lived outside of DuPage County for almost 30 years (24 in Crete, 4 in Chicago, and 2 in University Park) and I worked outside of DuPage County for 33 years (25 in Chicago, 5 in Chicago Heights, 2 in Harvey, and 1 in Joliet).

https://www.mystateline.com/news/44-of-republicans-dont-want-trump-to-run-for-reelection-poll/

SHAW LOCAL
— Democrats say “Belief in every student’s potential is key to good teaching.” When I was young, I was not viewed as being “college material” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I had a bone disease that stopped me from running. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses in high school, got into the upper 20% of my class, got an ACT score of 24, got accepted by UIC, worked my way through college, and earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old.

CHICAGO DEFENDER
— Democrats say “Illinois Payroll Jobs Up.” Are/were you a payroller? I was a payroller 1964-1997. My critics/opponents despise if not hate payrollers. They especially despise if not hate former payrollers like me who have a pension. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who I have sued.

— Democrats ever-increasing blame guns for gun violence instead of blaming those who use guns illegally.
https://dailyillini.com/opinions-stories/2023/04/22/american-gun-culture-halts-any-solution/

CHICAGO READER
— Democrats ever-increasingly glorify and praise those who broke pot laws. I never used pot and I never will. According to Democrats, my not using pot gave me a tremendous unfair advantage in life. The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old instead of pot users. IRS hired me in 1971 and promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 instead of pot users. GAO hired me in 1980 and promoted me in 1986 instead of pot users.

— The Biden admin’s new rule will punish people with high credit scores – Tucker Carlson (COMMENT: How much success have Democrats had in importing people to your county, to your township, to your municipality, and to your precinct who have demographics that vote for Democrats? I should write a book about their success in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, and in my precinct.)
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-biden-admins-new-rule-punish-people-high-credit-scores
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the defining strategic insight of the modern Democratic Party is they don’t really need to convince anyone of anything. What matters is demographics. To import enough people from elsewhere, people who are financially dependent on you in order to live. That’s the story of the state of California. That’s why California changed. It’s why Texas is changing, but it’s also happening at the local level all over the country. Democrats have realized that they win the vote in virtually every major city, but the suburbs remain contested and that matters because suburban voters like school boards and state legislators and, of course, members of Congress. So, if you want total control over the entire country, you need demographic change everywhere, including in the suburbs.

https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2023/04/20/why_poverty_persists_a_critical_look_at_matthew_desmonds_analysis_894908.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The only way to help the poor is to create more of wealth through productive action, not redistribute what we have at the moment. If redistribution, not wealth-creation, were relied on to help the poor since the 1800s, we would all still be, at best, subsistence farmers. Instead of instilling unearned guilt, we should advocate returning to the source of prosperity and poverty elimination, economic liberty.)

— Democrats say “In Abortion Pill Ruling, the Supreme Court Trades Ambition for Prudence.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/22/us/politics/supreme-court-abortion-pill-roe-wade.html
— Democrats say “DeSantis Tried to Bury Her. Now She’s Helping Trump Try to Bury Him.” Who has buried you? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have buried me. I would focus on those who I did the most to help elect and to help reelect. I would focus on those a) who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) who ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) who ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, d) who ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) who ended my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, f) who ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, g) who almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) who ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and i) who ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

— Democrats ever-increasingly make it clear that they are going to abolish the Second Amendment so that they can confiscate all firearms and ammunition from Republicans and get rid of Republicans once and for all. Because of that, Republicans are buying more and more and more firearms and ammunition for their self-defense.

POST AND COURIER
— Democrats say “Charleston County GOP picks political operative in closely fought, two-round vote for chair.” I should write a book about the chairmen of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee since 2000.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political operative Andrew Boucher prevailed by a 272-236 margin on the convention’s second ballot over activist Cynthia Jones. . .The closely fought convention laid bare the divisions within the local party between those who espouse a more hardline vision for the GOP, embodied by former President Donald Trump, and those who want move in a new direction. The hardliners see themselves as purifying a party controlled by an entrenched establishment that’s too liberal for their liking.)

How successful have Democrats been in getting the teachers in your school district to crank out good little Democrats? In your school district, what percent of high school graduates are Democrats?

AMERICAN PROGRESS
— Democrats say “Congress Must Pass the Preventing a Patronage System Act To Protect Federal Civil Servants’ Impartiality.” Ever-increasingly, the federal government exists to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats. I should write a book about that a) because I am one of the last Republicans hired by the Post Office, IRS, and GAO and b) because I sued GAO in federal court for political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
