Democrat and RINO leaders created the illegal immigration crisis. As the crisis gets worse and worse and worse, Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly falsely deny that they created it.

— Police officers and firefighters would no longer be forced to retire at age 63 under a proposal that’s being considered by a city council committee. – Craig Wall (COMMENT: Forcing employees to retire early is not only a tremendous waste, it is age discrimination. Democrats run the federal government. They use “up-or-out” to force their employees who they did not promote into their Senior Executive Service ($183,500/year) by age 40 and who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to retire as soon as they are eligible. I became eligible to take their early retirement “offer” in 1993 when I was 45. Because I am Republican, White, male, and non-veteran, because they never promoted me to GS-14 let alone to SES, and because in 1988, when I was 40, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the former House speaker, headlined the annual holiday party hosted by businessman and political donor Jay Bergman at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Oak Brook on Monday. This wasn’t a campaign event, but McCarthy gave a shoutout to fellow Republican Congressman Mike Bost, who was also there. His message: Bost’s opponent in the 2024 primary, former gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, has no business running for Congress, according to McCarthy. We hear the California congressman blamed Bailey for Illinois Republicans losing four congressional seats in 2022. It was some hyperbole since Democrats controlled how the maps were drawn for congressional seats last year. But he got his point across. Word got back to Bailey’s team, who called Bost a “career politician” who’s “loyal to the swamp,” according to a statement to Playbook. Also in the party room: Congressman Darin LaHood, Former Congressman Bob Dold, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin (who lost to Bailey in last year’s primary), Illinois Senate Minority Leader John Curran, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, state Sens. Sue Rezin and Jil Tracy, nonprofit and political fundraiser Lisa Wagner, Regional Transportation Authority Board Chair Kirk Dillard, former DuPage County Commissioner Greg Hart, public affairs consultant Thom Serafin, business consultant David Walsh, entrepreneur Sarah Frey and Kirkland & Ellis partner Sandy Perl, who got a standing O for his opening remarks supporting Israel. Who invited McCarthy: his friend Richard Porter, a national committeeman of the Republican Party. The holiday host: Bergman is an oil man (yes, he lives in Illinois) and an investor who has donated to Republicans and Democrats over the years, including to Donald Trump in 2016. Another boost: Bost also was endorsed this week by Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician to Trump.- SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: I used to write such articles about Republican events. I should write a book about those who organized, spoke at, and/or attended those events who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.)
