— 50% of Latinos in higher education receive federal Pell Grants to help pay for college. – Eunice Alpasan (COMMENT: Because I did not seek or get any scholarships or grants to pay for my undergraduate college expenses, I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970. That enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In particular, McClary was troubled that the standards required that by the end of fifth grade, Illinois students should be able to “describe the role hormones play in the physical, social, cognitive, and emotional changes during adolescence and the potential role of hormone blockers on young people who identify as transgender.” McClary was also alarmed to see a requirement that by the end of fifth grade students should be able to “distinguish between sex assigned at birth and gender identity and explain how they may or may not differ,” as well as “define and explain differences between cisgender, transgender, gender nonbinary, gender expansive, and gender identity” and understand that “gender expression and gender identity exist along a spectrum.” “For an 11-year-old person, I’m just not OK with that,” McClary said.)

DAILY HERALD
— In ‘systemically racist’ America, lots of whites vote for Blacks – Michael Barone (COMMENT: I should write a book about the 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois According to Wikipedia, “Six weeks later, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) chose former Diplomat Alan Keyes to replace Jack Ryan as the Republican candidate. The election was the first in U.S. Senate history in which both major-party candidates were African American. Obama won the election with 70% of the vote and a margin of 43% over Keyes, the largest margin of victory for a U.S. Senate candidate in Illinois history and significantly larger than Democrat John Kerry’s 10.3% margin in the concurrent presidential election. Obama carried 92 of the state’s 102 counties, including several where Democrats traditionally had not done well. The inequality in the candidates spending for the fall elections – $14,244,768 by Obama and $2,545,325 by Keyes – is also among the largest in history in both absolute and relative terms. Obama served in the Senate for four years until he was elected president in 2008. . .Black voters of Illinois voted 92% for Obama.” After the IRP SCC selected Keyes to fill the Ryan vacancy, I did lots to help elect him, including getting campaign sign locations in Wheaton. Obama and his wife walked in Wheaton’s 2004 Independence Day Parade. At the 2003 Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Oktoberfest fundraiser, I organized and administered a straw poll that Ryan won over John Borling, Norm Hill, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, Steve Rauschenberger, and Jonathan Wright. All of the five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates, John Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan, attended a July 5, 2003 picnic that I organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct for the voters in my precinct, in Jeanne Ives’ precinct to the east, and Debra Olson’s precinct to the west. The 200 attendees included Randy Hultgren. During 2003 and 2004, a) I was the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, b) I was a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, c) I was the vice-chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, d) I attended TAPROOT meetings at which Borling, Kathuria, Oberweis, and Ryan spoke, e) I was asked by the Borling campaign to accept and to publish court documents that might very well have caused Ryan to lose the primary, but I declined, f) I attended IRP SCC meetings at which Ryan’s court documents were discussed and at which the IRP interviewed candidates to fill the Ryan vacancy and selected Keyes, g) I attended many events at which Keyes spoke, h) I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremony and recruited Keyes to speak at it, i) I was the MTRO webmaster until I was rudely dumped in 2004, I) I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer position and was viciously defeated in 2004, j) I was a member of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors until I was rudely dumped in 2004, k) I attended the Chicago Conservative Conference, CPAC, and GOPUSA Conference in 2003 and 2004, l) I attended the 2004 IRP State Convention as a delegate, and m) I spent lots of time pursuing Diersen v. GAO SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf GAO works for Congress.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Federal court rules against HHS requiring religious doctors to perform gender transitions – Alex Swoyer (COMMENT: Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have defamed/slandered me as being someone who falsely claims to be religious. Better yet, I should sue them. According to them, to be religious, you have to be a member of a church, you have to attend church services, and/or, you have to give money to a church. I have not done any of the aforesaid since the 1960s and I have not claimed that I do any of the aforesaid since the 1960s. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who claim to be religious, but who promote a) dependency on government, b) dependency on charity, c) LGBTQ, d) abortion, e) mass/illegal immigration, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) abolition of the First and Second Amendments, h) patronage, i) political affiliation discrimination, j) reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, replacement theory, wokeness/wokeism), and/or k) age discrimination. I would focus on those who blame me and blame my newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have demonstrated the most hatred against Protestants and especially against Missouri Synod Lutherans. I would focus on those who have taken many adverse actions against me.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Identity politics will be the downfall of Democrats – Sims Johnson (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the following promote identity politics: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more likely that they will promote you: minority, female, younger, moderate, non-Protestant, non-German American, someone whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, someone who they can manipulate, someone who they can dominate, etc. I am none of the aforesaid.)
(COMMENT: Since Obama’s election, Democrats have consistently backed candidates looking first at their race, gender, and sexual identity and second at their qualifications, resulting in our nation’s leaders now lacking the experience and expertise needed to run the country. The Democrats’ insistence on identity politics has hurt their standing within minority communities nationwide.)

Ever-increasingly, employers are under ever-increasing pressure from Democrats and from RINOs to hire, to retain, and to promote women, and especially women who are minority. It is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is called reverse discrimination and age discrimination.)
https://nypost.com/2022/08/27/a-crisis-overlooked-new-yorks-unemployed-young-men-and-the-nations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New York City’s overall unemployment picture remains grim. But New School economist James Parrott’s drill-down on the latest data flags an ugly trend: The unemployment rate among men aged 18-24 is 27%, far higher than the city’s overall 6.1% rate, the state’s 4.4% and the nation’s 3.5%. That is up enormously from early 2020, when it was 6.7% (although it was still higher than other age and sex demographics then). . .As demographer Nicholas Eberstadt has documented, the share of men in the US labor force has been steadily declining since the mid-1960’s: Almost 81% in 1965, it’s down to 67.6% through July 2022.)

WESA
— Fetterman gives first Pittsburgh speech since stroke, as Oz steps up criticism of his health – Oliver Morrison (COMMENT: Of course, if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress my January 10, 2022 brain bleed and the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I could not put together and send out because of that.)

FEDERAL
— Racist acts will not make a dent in Indian-Americans’ resilience. The recent attack on four Indian American women in Dallas by a Mexican American brought to the fore the specter of racism looming over Indian Americans. Though, they have worked hard to gain a rightful place for themselves in the US, bigotry and hate continues to hound them. – Sridhar Krishnaswami (COMMENT: According to Democrats, only Republicans who are Trump supporters, White, male, older, conservative, patriotic, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestor have been in America for a long time can be racist.)

FORBES
— Companies Beware: Grey Hair Rising. Fire The Old(er) At Your Peril. – Avivah Wittenberg-Cox (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors fired me in 1997 when I was 49 years old, that is, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I sued them. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf I should write a book about those who side with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. I would focus on past and present Republican U.S. Senators in Illinois, U.S. Representatives in Illinois, their staff members, their political consultants, their major donors, their fundraisers, their pollsters, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on the major adverse actions that the aforesaid have taken against me.)

— The Post-Vacation Quitting Trend And How Employers Can Reverse It – Bryan Robinson, Ph.D. (COMMENT: Of course my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious when I took vacations while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. I should write a book about those vacations and what the aforesaid did to punish me for taking those vacations.)

— Should You Use The Roth Retirement Savings Option? – Chris Carosa (COMMENT: Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious that my wife and I could and did save so much for our retirement. They stressed that we could and did save more for our retirement a) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents and b) because my wife had good jobs. Those who were the most furious a) had children, b) had a spouse who earned little or no income, and/or c) were not married.)

FAST COMPANY
— These are the most effective ways to develop and use confidence at work – TOMAS CHAMORRO-PREMUZIC (COMMENT: Of course, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to damage my self-confidence. I should write a book that. Things that helped me fight their efforts to damage my self-confidence include my earning a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

HOWARD BISON
— Five Reasons to Switch Your Major (COMMENT: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have a) majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976 and b) taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did in 1979. If I had done that, IRS might very well have offered me a Revenue Agent position in 1971 instead of a Revenue Officer position. I was an IRS Revenue Officer 1971-1980. I should write a book about how Democrat IRS Revenue Agents look down on IRS Revenue Officers, and especially Revenue Officers who share my demographics. Democrat IRS Revenue Agents disallowed my education deductions in 1978. According to them, notwithstanding my position discerptions, IRS’s Revenue Officer employee manual, and my graduate school applications, the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1978 a) did not relate to my job duties, b) did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector and/or to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and d) were a distraction. I should write a book about the foresaid.)
