Democrat leaders will continue to flood America with illegals until they have enough illegals using their false identifications to vote for Democrats that no Republican will ever be elected again. RINO leaders will continue to flood America with illegals until they have all the cheap labor that they can use. Countries that hate America will continue to flood America with their citizens until they have destroyed America.

I was a union member for almost 12 years. During that time, my salary increased from $18.99/hour to $110,020/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I earned an MBA from Loyola, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, and I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

— Some speculate gun confiscation on the horizon in Illinois – Greg Bishop
https://www.cities929.com/2024/01/14/some-speculate-gun-confiscation-on-the-horizon-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some are speculating Gov. J.B. Pritzker may work to confiscate registered firearms if there’s another mass casualty event. Part of Illinois’ gun ban enacted last year includes a registry of banned items. Before the Jan. 1 deadline to register, nearly 30,000 Illinoisans registered banned firearms with the state. That’s about 1.22% of the state’s 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders. Guns Save Life Executive Director John Boch said there could be efforts on the horizon implemented to confiscate firearms that were registered following a mass casualty event. “Existing people who have dutifully followed the registration requirement of the law are given 90 days to surrender those firearms and accessories to police, or they face an additional felony charge,” Boch told The Center Square was leaked to him. While Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office denied similar assertions raised elsewhere with a comment to ABC 20, Pritzker last month did address why he approved a banned gun registry. “We wanna make sure that you know where those very, very deadly weapons are, who owns them, when and if a crime is committed with one of them,” Pritzker said.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— President Biden’s ‘Top Priority’ for a second term? – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/president_bidens_top_priority_for_a_second_term.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even if you are “pro-choice,” making abortion the “top priority” is macabre at best. How about stopping the flood of illegals coming across our southern border… and the fentanyl and human trafficking that a porous border allows? After all, fentanyl alone kills 100,000+ Americans each year. How about trying to prevent or curtail foreign wars? Or attempting to reduce inflation and taxes to make life more affordable and pleasant for millions? How about addressing the unsustainable and soon-to-be devastating $34 trillion debt? Or the fact that China is bidding to take over the world? Nope. Gotta make sure everyone has unfettered access and ability to kill their babies! What a platform Democrats will have for 2024: Make unrestricted abortion the law of the land (Make Abortion Great Again!), Pack the court, Eliminate the Electoral College, Eliminate the filibuster, Statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, Work towards the elimination of fossil fuels… and gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment, Provide more money for teachers’ unions, Provide more money for mainstream media outlets, Progress towards making “15-minute cities” a reality across the United States, Significantly raise taxes on ammunition so as to make it unaffordable for all but wealthy Democrat donors… thereby rendering guns—and the First Amendment—moot, Make mail-in voting a permanent fixture in every state for every election, and Lower the voting age to 16. All of this in the name of “saving our democracy,” of course.)

— Take Your Government Job and Shove It – Noel S. Williams (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and an IRS employee for almost 9 of those 30 years 1971-1980. I have been a federal retiree for more than 26 years. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have used the aforesaid against me the most. They foist negative federal employee stereotypes on me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I was grossly overpaid and that my Civil Service Retirement System pension is much too generous. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/take_your_government_job_and_shove_it.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal government jobs are also growing—7,000 in December alone. Thankfully, there are some conscientious Republicans who are trying to impose some pecuniary discipline on the spendthrift Dems. Perhaps they were also guided by Ronald Reagan’s sarcastic refrain about the most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” The terrifying IRS doesn’t help much. Actually, that dreadful department can be downright detrimental to one’s disposition, especially to the conservative groups they scrutinized. In the newly-proposed 1.59 trillion spending bill, there will be a reduction to IRS funding. It’s a start, but not enough, so let’s “revise” more of those jobs out of existence. Indeed, take your IRS agent jobs and shove ‘em.)

REP. TOM MCCLINTOCK
— The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services
https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/speeches/rep-tom-mcclintock-opening-statement-impact-illegal-immigration-social-services
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How does it improve access to health care for Americans to pack our emergency rooms and maternity wards with illegals demanding free health care? How does it strengthen our social safety net to allow in five million impoverished people requiring care? How does it make our communities safer by making it all but impossible to deport criminal illegal aliens? How does it help working families by flooding the labor market with cheap, illegal labor? How does it improve our schools by packing classrooms with non-English speaking students? . . .This is not because of incompetence. This is the deliberate policy of this administration. It won’t be solved by new laws that the Senate won’t pass and the President won’t sign or enforce. It won’t be solved by spending more money to encourage and support still more illegal aliens flooding our country. It won’t be solved by swapping one leftist official for another.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— In Race to Replace George Santos, Financial Questions Re-emerge. Mazi Pilip, the Republican candidate running in New York’s Third District, drew scrutiny after her initial financial disclosure was missing required information. – Nicholas Fandos (COMMENT: Far too many candidates, elected officials, and party leaders have far too many big skeletons in their closets. You should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office if you have a big skeleton in your closet. I should write a book about the following who have/had the biggest skeletons in their closets that brought them down since 2000: past and present a) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, b) Republican elected officials in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, and c) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me because I refused to cover up their wrongdoing.)
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The little-known candidate, Mazi Pilip, reported between $1 million and $5.2 million in assets, largely comprising her husband’s medical practice and Bitcoin investments. In an unusual disclosure, she said the couple owed and later repaid as much as $250,000 to the I.R.S. last year. But the initial financial report Ms. Pilip filed with the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday appeared to be missing other important required information, including whether the assets were owned solely by herself or her husband, Dr. Adalbert Pilip, or whether they were owned jointly. And despite making past statements that she stopped working there in 2021 when she ran for the Nassau County Legislature, Ms. Pilip reported receiving a $50,000 salary from the family medical practice in 2022 and 2023.)

Because of high costs, some high school graduates have opted to delay, drop out of or forgo attending college altogether to avoid student debt that could hang over them for decades. – Emily Withnall (COMMENT: What motivated you the most to get a college degree? For me, it was my father who frequently decried that because he did not have one, he did not get promotions. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the east side of Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. Consequently, in 1964, when I turned 16, I decided that I was going to earn a bachelor’s degree in business from UIC. I started taking college preparatory courses at Crete-Monee High School. I started earning and saving money to buy a new car to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete. I got an ACT score of 24. I graduated in the upper 20% of my class. I got accepted by UIC.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How College-Educated Republicans Learned to Love Trump Again. Blue-collar white voters make up Donald Trump’s base. But his political resurgence has been fueled largely by Republicans from the other end of the socioeconomic scale. – Michael C. Bender (COMMENT: I have a bachelor’s degree (NIU-management-1970) and three master’s degrees (Loyola-business-1976, DePaul-accounting-1980, and IIT-finance-1997). Earning those degrees helped me a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and b) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981.)
