I would focus on those who have used my having been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran against me the most. I who focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government.

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/naperville-gun-dealer-appeals-to-us-supreme-court-to-lift-assault-weapon-ban
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the battle over assault weapons in Illinois heats up, gun supporters are coming to the aid of a west suburban firearms dealer. A rally and fundraiser was held Sunday at Law Weapons in Naperville. The owner says he’s lost 85% of his business since both the state and Naperville banned the sale of assault weapons. Robert Bevis says he’s had to lay off employees and max out his credit cards to keep his store open. Bevis is suing Naperville and the state, saying the assault weapon ban is unconstitutional. “They’re infringing upon our Second Amendment rights. They’re causing due harm to every citizen that has the right to own a firearm in this state. And they’re costing people’s lives by not allowing them to get the firearms they’d like to,” Bevis said. On Friday, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban. Bevis is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and issue an injunction lifting the ban on assault weapon sales.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— City Hall wants to put a statue of labor activist Mother Jones in Jane Byrne Park. Jane Byrne’s daughter is not happy about it. – Gregory Royal Pratt (COMMENT: Under the Democrats, anticipate/expect that sooner or later, statutes of those who are the following will be destroyed: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, veteran, non-poor, married, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-mother-jones-jane-byrne-statue-chicago-mag-mile-20230813-uliboub5xfcl3gm2gffngmjjf4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After a bloody clash over the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago’s Grant Park, then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot tasked a special commission with reviewing the city’s public monuments in what she said was “a racial healing and historical reckoning project.” . . . Public monuments have been a subject of spirited debate across the country for years, including in Chicago. Amid a national discussion about race in America in 2020, Columbus came under renewed scrutiny as statues across the U.S. were pulled down and local governments stopped celebrating the holiday in his name. Though Chicago was one of the cities where the monuments were lifted, Lightfoot at first resisted their removal and insisted afterward that the Grant Park statue should eventually return.)

In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that he almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, that he died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, that my mother never attended high school, and that I had to work my way through college.)

COUNTRY THANG DAILY
— It All Comes Out in the Wash (COMMENT: More and more and more “Republican” elected officials and party leaders in Illinois are coming out and coming clean and a) announcing that they have always been anti-conservative and/or anti-Republican, b) hinting/implying that they have always been anti-heterosexual, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, and/or c) hinting/implying that they have always been a Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, or RINO. Far too many are involved in Republican politics in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton to promote a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, f) abolition of the Second Amendment, and/or g) patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
