All my ancestor immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s. My ancestors’ slow assimilation is major reason a) why none of my ancestors attended college, b) why none my ancestors earned a high school diploma until my father did, and c) why my mother never attended high school.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Looking back, I lived in a cocoon of security that came with knowing that the world was as it was supposed to be, as if God had our backs. I believed the America I knew was predestined, for it seemed inevitable that our nation would grow from a scrappy upstart in 1776 to the world’s leader in 1976. America was Manifest Destiny writ large. Later, I discovered this was an illusion.)

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-border-crisis-invasion-country
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the last year, illegal immigration into El Paso has risen by over 280% – hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals streaming in, jobless, penniless, anonymous. What happened next? You know what happened next: the most predictable disaster in the world. Crime skyrocketed. Social cohesion collapsed. Test scores in local schools plummeted, and the city began to fall apart. People who grew up in El Paso started to leave in large numbers. . .Imagine if that was your city – your city – where you work and raised your family, the city that you built and then one day some guy gets elected and decides to destroy it and the media ignores it. No one even covers it. Most Americans have no idea your city has been destroyed. And it’s not just downtown and the shelters. It’s the airport, the window into El Paso. In case you haven’t flown there recently, here’s what it looks like. People seem to be camping on the floor of the place. Looks like the train station in post partition Calcutta, but at least they had a war to blame it on. There’s no war in Texas except the war the White House declared on its own country. . .El Paso wasn’t like this just a few years ago. Ask anyone who went there. The question is, why isn’t the state of Texas stopping this? Where’s the Texas National Guard? A few months ago, Greg Abbott, the governor, was running for office. He was running against Beto O’Rourke, and he was willing to say anything to get re-elected. He was willing to lie and apparently he did. He said he’d deploy 10,000 troops to the border. Oh, but he hasn’t. He just revised it to 5,000 troops. And then he came up with another solution: just bus thousands of migrants to other states, which is kind of funny. It makes for an amusing cable news segment. But it’s still our country, isn’t it? And none of these people are ever leaving. . .This is an invasion of our country. We don’t have a border and Greg Abbott could stop it, and he isn’t. Why isn’t the Texas National Guard stopping this? We can’t answer that question. We’d love to have Greg Abbott come on and tell us. But because Texas isn’t securing the border, the rest of the country is also overrun with people from foreign countries who have no right to be here and whose identity we don’t know. At exactly the moment, we do not need a larger population as our economy moves south.)

https://hotair.com/headlines/2022/12/19/i-am-in-fact-indoctrinating-your-children-n518988
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Heather Marie Godbout, whose job title claims she is a “literacy coach” at Crete-Monee High School, has posted a series of education-related videos on TikTok under the handle @thatliberaleducator. In various videos, she excoriates conservatives as “people who could know better if they could get out of their own little bubbles” and accuses them of “trying to bring down our democracy and create a Christian nationalist theocracy.” In one particular video, which has the phrase “Indoctrination? Yes please!” emblazoned at the top and which is replete with furrowed brows and audible lip smacks, she claims that it’s “[t]ime to own up to” indoctrinating students. “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,” Godbout begins. “I am, in fact, indoctrinating your children,” she admits.)

SHRM
— COMMENT: In Diersen v. GAO, constructively, GAO argued that it treated me just like Congress wanted it to treat its employees who shared my demographics, that is, to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion, up-or-out, and budget cuts to waste the careers of and to get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and those whose ancestors had been in America for a long time who did not make a) GS-13, currently $104,915/year, by age 25, b) G-14, currently $123,978/year, by age 30, c) GS-15, currently $145,831/year, by age 35, and d) Senior Executive Service, currently $176,300/year by age 40.

MEDIA MATTERS
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats crow about their success in replacing those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats. I should write a book about the success that Democrats have had doing that a) in Illinois since 1948, b) in DuPage County, its 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton since 1978, and c) in Wheaton’s West District and my precinct since 1984.

SPLC
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Nick Fuentes Trades Parents’ Basement for Pricey Livestreaming Den.” Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint Fuentes as being a typical conservative Illinois Republican leader. My critics/opponents would hint/imply/argue/shout that if I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, I would invite Fuentes to speak at TAPROOT events. I should write a book about those who continue to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most because of those who I invited to speak at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders.

AXIOS
— COMMENT: What steered you away from poverty? For me, it was my outstanding parents who sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. For me, it was my outstanding grandparents, aunts, and uncles. They all promoted individual responsibility.

FINANCIAL TIMES
— France struggles to keep older workers in the labour market – Leila Abboud and Domitille Alain (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who run GAO get rid of their employees a) who are Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time and b) who they did not promote to GS-13, currently $104,915/year, by age 25, G-14, currently $123,978/year, by age 30, GS-15, currently $145,831/year, by age 35, and Senior Executive Service, currently $176,300/year by age 40.

CLASSIC CARS
— COMMENT: Last week, for the first time since March of 2010, I bought a daily driver. It is a black 2018 Chevrolet Cuze LT with 60K miles on it. Reasons why I bought it include it being a gasoline-powered Chevrolet, its price, its size, it being certified-pre-owned, its warranties, the dealer that I bought from being nearby, and increasing problems with my previous daily driver, a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS.
