CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats say “House migrants at City Hall, police union president says. John Catanzara, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he’s fed up with having Chicago police officers “babysit” asylum seekers staying at district stations.”

— Democrats say “Migrants returned to controversial police stations as crisis intensifies. The Ogden and Town Hall police districts had originally been emptied due to allegations of sexual misconduct. The city said a rising number of immigrants arriving has forced them to reuse the stations.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/24/23844484/migrants-returned-to-controversial-police-stations-as-crisis-intensifies
— Democrats say “A year in, Chicago’s migrant crisis shows no sign of letting up. The state, we think, should be more aggressive in coordinating efforts to find suburbs, or even downstate communities, willing to take in asylum seekers.” How many illegals is your community going to take?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/8/24/23842817/driverless-cars-waymo-phoenix-taxi-google-automation
— Democrats say “Health of thousands of migrants at Chicago police stations is in the hands of volunteer Mobile Migrant Health Team. The team got started in early May with just a few medical school students and doctors and has grown to about 200 volunteers. It’s the primary source of care for those staying temporarily at police stations.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/25/23834731/mobile-migrant-health-team-asylum-seekers
— Democrats acknowledge “$2 million in grants heading to Chicago literacy centers. More than 400,000 Illinois residents — about 3% of the population — have less than a ninth-grade education, and about 900,000 adults older than 25 don’t have a high school diploma, according to state figures.”
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2023/8/25/23844486/illinois-library-grants-literacy-centers-secretary-state

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230824/college-of-dupage-faculty-members-authorize-strike

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater says “It’s time for Illinois to turn the tables on Trump.” In your municipality, in your township, and in your county, who leads the effort to promote more hatred against Trump and against his supporters? I should write about those Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/illinois-should-bar-trump-ballot-14th-amendment-grounds-tullman

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/city-of-chicago-files-lawsuit-against-kia-hyundai-alleging-critical-defect-led-to-increase-in-car-thefts/3214393/
— Democrats say “These Midwestern cities are among best housing markets for first-time homebuyers.” If the new town home that I bought in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old had been built in a higher-cost municipality like Wheaton, I would not have been able to buy it.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/these-midwestern-cities-are-among-best-housing-markets-for-first-time-homebuyers-ranking/3214696/
— Democrats ask “Can you still apply for the 2023 Chicago Marathon?” and say “What to know as the race draws near” and say “Over 45,000 participants are expected to take to the streets of Chicago in the city’s October marathon.”  Can you run? While I can stand and walk, I have not been able to run since the late 1950s because of a hereditary bone disease. While that has had a major impact on my life, it did not stop me from being classified 1-A for the draft.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-marathon/chicago-marathon-registration-when-application-time/3214238/
— Democrats say “After thousands in Illinois, Wisconsin lose power in heat wave, check outages near you. Both ComEd and WE Energy in Wisconsin have said that they are activating additional crews to address any issues with the power grid.” I should write about my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most for having a natural gas fired whole house back up electric generator installed.

— Democrats ever-increasingly promote Pat Brady.
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/video/streaming-with-brad-former-il-gop-chairman-pat-brady/
— Democrats say “Patients in Illinois, other states struggle to afford fertility treatments.” Government and politics are nasty/vicious. The first test tube baby was born in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors stressed that my wife and I gave up trying to have children before trying the test tube baby process. Our doctors did not recommend it because we both had big fertility problems. Further, my Democrat GAO superiors stressed that we did not adopt or become foster parents. Further, they strongly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, a) I would not have been able to pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or become a licensed CPA in 1981 and b) my wife would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/expensive-fertility-treatments/
— Democrats acknowledge that “Thieves steal woman’s Hyundai three times from same CHA parking lot.” While I worked for IRS in Chicago, thieves stole a) my 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1971 and b) my 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1973.
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/stolen-hyundai-tucson-cha-patrick-sullivan-senior-apartments/

FOX32

I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

— Democrats acknowledge that “Congressman Chuy Garcia urges Biden to provide relief for housing asylum seekers.
