WASHINGTON TIMES
— Sorry, Donald, Republicans just don’t want you in 2024. In recent polls, DeSantis is pulling ahead. – Joseph Curl (COMMENT: I should write a book about major Republican donors in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I would focus on those who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for defeats suffered by Republican candidates who they donated to. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who I have sued.)
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/dec/14/sorry-donald-trump-republicans-just-dont-want-you-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump‘s star has been falling ever since his hand-picked candidates in swing states lost in the midterms — just two of his 14 candidates won. And now his major donors in 2016 are running away — that’s a huge problem for a self-declared billionaire who doesn’t like to spend his own money. “Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, the second-most prolific GOP donor of the midterms, said Tuesday that he would support Mr. DeSantis over Mr. Trump, pointing to the Florida governor’s dominant reelection victory in a state that was considered competitive until recently,” The Hill reported last week. “I’d like to think that the Republican Party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser,” said Mr. Griffin, who funded a pro-Trump super political action committee in previous cycles but has already given $5 million to a PAC aligned with Mr. DeSantis.)

FOX NEWS
— Crete-Monee High School teacher says critics of woke ed creating ‘Christian nationalist theocracy’ that will ‘unlive people.’ The self-described ‘liberal’ teacher, Heather Marie Godbout, said, ‘Indoctrination? yes please!.’ – Hannah Grossman (COMMENT: My ancestor have lived in Crete since 1854. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. As Democrats ever-increasingly invade Crete, Crete moves further and further and further to the left.)
https://www.foxnews.com/media/illinois-teacher-critics-woke-ed-creating-christian-nationalist-theocracy-unlive-people
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A teacher at Crete-Monee High School located in Chicago blasted “right-wing conspiracy theorist nut jobs” for opposing the woke indoctrination of children on a video on TikTok. The self-described “liberal” teacher, Heather Marie Godbout, regularly posts about “anti-racist education.” For example, the teacher does not traditionally grade her students for equity purposes. “They don’t need points assigned to their papers. They don’t need letter grades to come to school and learn. They’re excited to learn… So why do we take those children and turn them into point gathering individuals? We have to stop doing that,” Godbout said. She added that grading gets “conflated with other things that aren’t actually learning, like effort or ‘work ethic,’ whatever that means. That is just a mishmash of things.” In another video, the teacher discussed the “woke agenda” in K-12 public schools that has been under fire by some critics on the right. “All you right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs who seem to think the teachers are out here just indoctrinating children into some sort of woke agenda that you can’t actually define, I’m just going to come clean. I am, in fact, indoctrinating your children,” she said. “I’m indoctrinating children into understanding their own agency and learning how to think critically about the issues that impact their lives… I am indoctrinating children into wanting to be productive citizens of the world… So that’s what I’m doing. I’m indoctrinating them. You’re 100% right.” The Illinois teacher then responded to a user who questioned the hostile tone she was taking with people on the right. Godbout responded, “I really do try hard in my life to lead with compassion. I do. But we’re talking about people who right now are legitimately trying to bring down our democracy and create a Christian nationalist theocracy.” She added that she will continue to maintain a condescending tone for “those people” with whom she disagrees, claiming that right-wing legislation “will literally un-alive people.” “And the way that they’re doing that is by manipulating people who could know better if they could get out of their own little bubbles. And so, respectfully, no, I’m not going to not condescend to those people. I’m not. Right now, they’re talking about legislation that will literally unlive people.” “So I don’t really feel the need to be respectful of them or anything that they have to say,” she said. Fox News Digital reached out to the district for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Other teachers in the United States have said they are “indoctrinating” students, Fox News Digital has reported. A teacher in Baltimore, Maryland, celebrated “indoctrinating” students while dancing in a post on TikTok. “Put the taxes in the bag,” the teacher’s post on TikTok said, as the middle school Spanish teacher jovially danced. The teacher was responding to criticism of using a song in which she lip-synched “f— up on your b—-” in a video adorning her classroom in pride materials.)

— Amnesty Will Happen – Mark Lewis (COMMENT: How many of the 20+ million in America illegally use their false identifications to vote for Democrats?)
https://townhall.com/columnists/marklewis/2022/12/15/amnesty-will-happen-n2617171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How many illegal aliens are in America now? The “Center for Immigration Studies” (I know nothing about them) estimates that, as of January, 2022, there were 11.35 million illegal immigrants in the United States. Well, I do know something about the “Center for Immigration Studies”: those people are nuts. That number (11 million) has been bandied about for over a decade now, and we know millions more came in under Obama, and now Biden. 11 million probably entered last week. Nobody has an accurate count of the number of people illegally in the United States now. I certainly don’t know, but if it is less than 20 million, I would be amazed. Let’s just use that number for reference, and it’s probably grossly conservative. If there are 330 million (legal) people in America, and 20 million illegals, that means approximately 1 in every 16 persons you see in America is in violation of our laws. Go to McDonald’s for lunch. Suppose you see 30 people there. Two of them are in the country illegally. On average. In California, it is probably more than that. Two might be here legally.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Annual Demographics Report — Upward Trend in Number of Women Serving Continues.” Ever-increasingly, organizations, companies, governments, countries, etc. crow about their success in a) replacing men with women, b) replacing Whites with minorities, c) replacing older people with younger people, d) replacing non-poor people with poor people, e) replacing conservatives with moderates and liberals, f) replacing homeowners with renters, g) replacing Christians with non-Christians, h) replacing Protestants with non-Protestants, i) replacing Italian Americans and German Americans with non-Italian Americans and non-German Americans, j) replacing those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time with those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, and k) replacing citizens of America with citizens of foreign countries. I should write a book about the aforesaid replacement success that the following have had: Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc.)

DAILY KOS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Conservatives buy Teslas (too).” Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) run America, b) run Illinois, and c) destroy conservatives. Expect that ever-increasingly, Democrats will destroy all individuals, destroy all organizations, destroy all companies, destroy all governments, and destroy all countries that do not replace their gasoline-powered vehicles with EVs. I should write a book about the ever-increasingly hatred that Democrats promote against non-elect vehicles and their owners, and especially against those who recently bought gasoline-powered vehicles. I bought a used 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT this week, a new 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier in 2021, a new 2019 Ford Escape Titanium in 2019, a new 2016 Ford Mustang in 2016, a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T in 2012, a used 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS in 2010, a new 2005 Chevrolet Corvette in 2005, a new 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1995, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I continue to own all of the aforesaid except the Cavalier which I traded-in for the Cruze. Ever-increasingly, a major factor that motivated me to buy the aforesaid vehicles is that more and more and more gasoline-powered makes and models are being discontinued.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Writ large, Democrats are (much) more favorable to EVs. EVs are (much) more available in “blue” regions (blue states and urban areas).
Many of the arguments for EVs (climate change and pollution) are rejected by (climate-)science denying Republicans. Many prominent Republicans, from Trump done, are reality-challenged in their attacks on EVs.)

WIKIPEDIA
— Pay to play in politics (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO major donors in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have had in getting Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, conservative leaders, religious leaders, etc., to dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for defeats suffered by Republican candidates who they donated to. I would focus on those major donors who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who I have sued.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_to_play#In_politics
(FROM THE DEFINITION: In politics, pay-to-play refers to a system, akin to payola in the music industry, by which one pays (or must pay) money to become a player. Almost always used in criticism, the phrase also refers to the increasing cost of elections and the “price of admission” just to run for office and the concern “that one candidate can far outspend his opponents, essentially buying the election”. Typically, the payer (an individual, business, or organization) makes campaign contributions to public officials, party officials, or parties themselves, and receives political or pecuniary benefit such as no-bid government contracts, influence over legislation, political appointments or nominations, special access or other favors. The contributions, less frequently, may be to nonprofit or institutional entities, or may take the form of some benefit to a third party, such as a family member of a governmental official. Incumbent candidates and their political organizations are typically the greatest beneficiaries of pay-to-play. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have been criticized for the practice.)
