ABC7
— Chicago Auto Show holding Automotive Career Day (COMMENT: My plans for an automotive career ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

WGN RADIO
— GOP challenges Illinois’ judicial policies on female, minority attorneys – Joey Schneider (COMMENT: To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. My Democrat superiors and supervisors in the federal government gave preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That is, they discriminated against their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)
https://wgnradio.com/news/gop-challenges-illinois-judicial-policies-on-female-minority-attorneys/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three federal judges in Illinois adopted policies in 2020 that could allow female and minority attorneys extra time to make arguments in various court proceedings. In recent weeks, at least two Republican U.S. Senators and one conservative nonprofit group have challenged these policies. A nonprofit called America First Legal first sent a complaint to U.S. Chief Judge Diane Skyes on Jan. 25, claiming that the three Illinois judges with these policies promoted “unlawful judicial race and sex discrimination.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump’s Chicago lawyers allege ‘mudslinging’ in bid to freeze Illinois ballot challenge in appellate court. This all comes as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether the Colorado Supreme Court erred when it found in December that Trump is barred from the presidency under the 14th Amendment. The nation’s high court seems poised to rule in Trump’s favor. – Jon Seidel

— Little Village mass shooting is another chapter in the saga of gun violence. America, and Chicago, don’t need more guns around when people easily fly off the handle, as a gunman did in Little Village this past Sunday, injuring seven people. Nearly four dozen mass shootings have been reported nationwide already in 2024. – Editorial

— Life is a zero-sum-game. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time is to discriminate against those who are White, male, older, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

My 1970 financial hardship draft deferment application was approved in 1971 to help support her and my brother.)
