CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— According to Democrats, Biden is not too old to run again. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, they use political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. According to my Democrat IRS superiors, a) in 1973, when I was 25 years old, I was too old to be promoted to GS-13 and in 1978, I was too old be promoted to GS-14. According to my Democrat GAO superiors, a) in 1983, I was too old be promoted to GS-15 and b) in 1988, I was too old to be promoted to Senior Executive Service.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Why I won’t be attending my 50th high school reunion – Stephen J. Lyons (COMMENT: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. 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. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Nevertheless, to have money for college, I washed dishes for the minimum wage during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I took college preparatory courses. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC. And I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 to commute to/from UIC classes and my parents’ home in Crete. My father often decried his not having a college degree. Those around him discouraged him from going to college because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and doctors said the stress of seeking a college degree would harm his health.)

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Suburban mayor shuts down plan to take migrants from Chicago – Andrew Hensel
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_1e00422e-3e11-11ee-84e8-b38466701f93.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the city of Chicago has had conversations with suburban leaders in Cook and other counties about the possibility of moving migrants into their communities. However, some suburban leaders have voiced their concerns. Thousands of migrant families have arrived in Chicago over the past year. City officials have placed many in police stations, YMCAs and Daley College. Recently, Johnson said the city is looking for other towns to help with housing migrants. “We’ve had conversations with mayors across not just Cook County but the surrounding counties, and we have had tremendous feedback,” Johnson said Monday. “We see some real support on the horizon.” Keith Pekau, the Republican mayor of Orland Park, a Cook County suburb of more than 57,000 people, told The Center Square that he is not on board with the idea. “None of us have the resources for this. We do not have health departments. We do not have that kind of stuff,” Pekau said. “[Gov. J.B. Pritzker] has called us a sanctuary state, right? Here’s the deal, at the state level, the state has been ripping all the municipalities off by the Local Government Distributive Fund since prior to Pritzker.” Many Illinois suburbs do not have the funds to take care of the migrants, he said. “Municipalities have been getting screwed by the state of Illinois. Our residents are helping them [the state] pay for things off their own backs that they don’t even know about,” Pekau said. “Keep in mind how Pritzker attacks all the municipalities for property taxes and everything else but guess what? You are taking away money from them first.” Pekau also criticized Johnson and President Joe Biden for what he said was a violation of U.S. law. “I think, at a high level, it is very simple. Joe Biden is putting his nose in the air to our laws and is violating our laws at the border,” Pekau said. “Brandon Johnson and his city have supported this, and he and the Cook County Board want them to be a sanctuary city, and that violates our laws as well.” Just this month, Johnson said that Chicago would remain open for those that wish to come there, reaffirming the city’s stance as a “sanctuary city” or a jurisdiction with lax local enforcement of federal immigration laws. “Here’s what I am committed to doing, honoring the law of being a sanctuary city and building systems of care that provide a pathway with dignity for individuals who are seeking refuge here in the city of Chicago,” Johnson said. Around 12,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago from the southern U.S. border in the past year. So far, city and state taxpayers have set aside $94 million for migrant housing. The state budget has $550 million in taxpayer subsidies for health care of migrants over the age of 65.)
