DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Suburban Republicans in Washington for Trump’s inauguration
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250119/nation-and-world-politics/the-super-bowl-of-politics-suburban-republicans-in-washington-for-trumps-inauguration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With frigid temperatures expected in Washington, D.C., the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump will take place indoors Monday in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. It was a bit of a scramble, but Larisa Calvanese has her red ball gown, and she’s good to go. “I did not expect this,” the Downers Grove Republican said of her invitation to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. “I’m just thrilled, honored and grateful.” Calvanese, a RNC 2024 alternate delegate, is among a contingent of suburban Trump supporters in Washington, D.C. for a long weekend of pomp and circumstance. Her trip plans include balls, a Sunday victory rally, plus the presidential parade and swearing-in ceremony Monday. “I’m looking forward to seeing Melania as first lady again, and just (seeing) the whole family; he’s got such a great family,” she said. After a bitter election, Calvanese is eagerly anticipating “being surrounded by Americans and celebrating America. “I hope people will give him a chance and give his policies a chance,” she said. While it’s Calvanese’s first inauguration, longtime GOP volunteer Joe Folisi is traveling to his fourth. The Schaumburg Township Republican committeeman ticked off the presidents he’s watched: “Ronald Reagan was my first. Then, George W. Bush. And then, the Trump one in 2017.” Folisi was a 2024 RNC delegate and believes “the mood of the country has changed for the better. I think it will be exciting and positive.” But attending an epoch-making event, isn’t all champagne and frivolity. “It’s tiring,” Folisi said. With the Secret Service cordoning off blocks around the event, attendees can’t just Uber up to the Capitol and guests undergo intense security screening. “There’s a tremendous amount of walking and standing,” and of course, “it will definitely be cold,” Folisi predicted. He plans to catch a ball or two, the victory rally and receptions hosted by Illinois Republicans and U.S. Rep. Darrin LaHood of Peoria. Trump 2.0 may be the end of Folisi’s inaugural streak. “I’m sure it’s going to be my last one,” he said. “Of course, I said that last time, too.” On Friday, Trump announced the swearing-in ceremony would move to the Capitol Rotunda because of the extreme cold in D.C. That isn’t fazing guests, Republican Party of Illinois Chair Kathy Salvi said. “The mood is jubilant and there are thousands of Illinoisans here, many of whom will brave the weather on the mall. Despite the weather, everybody is really pumped, joyful, and, after the last four years, relieved,” the Mundelein resident said. Salvi arrived in Washington midweek and spent time in meetings with national Republican organizers. “I’ve gotten a lot of congratulations on turning Illinois around in the right direction,” Salvi said. Trump lost Blue State Illinois to Vice President Kamala Harris by about 11 percentage points in November, compared to about 17 percentage points to President Joe Biden in 2020. Palatine Republican Aaron Del Mar attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017. It’s “the Super Bowl of politics,” the Illinois Republican State Central Committee member explained. Del Mar’s 2025 agenda includes the Republican National Lawyers Association brunch, where attorney general nominee “Pam Bondi is going to be speaking and the whole Trump legal team … that should be interesting.” He also plans to catch receptions sponsored by the Republican Governors Association and Asian American conservative groups, a GOP cigar lounge, not to mention several balls, and the main event. “I’ve got a whole weekend planned of nonstop networking and celebration and fun,” Del Mar said. “It’s a Taylor Swift concert for Republicans.” Fun comes at a price, though, with hotel rooms costing around $1,500 and flights from Chicago at $800. Still, “to see it firsthand, and be there when it happens, is a really unique experience,” Del Mar said. “Regardless of what people’s feelings on President-elect Trump are, it’s part of history.” However, he won’t be experiencing that moment with his wife of many years, who happens to be a Democrat. Instead, accompanying the RNC 2024 delegate and former Illinois lieutenant governor candidate will be his oldest child, Konnor, 21. “I’m excited to share this with my son,” Del Mar said. Trump’s second swearing-in marks an inaugural trifecta for former Illinois National Committeeman Richard Porter. “It should be fun, if cold,” Porter of Winnetka said, quipping “wouldn’t it be great if we could do the inauguration as an away game in Miami?”)

— Why fewer young men are choosing to pursue college degrees (COMMENT: Notwithstanding Trump’s election, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, the future is ever-increasingly bleak for men, and especially for men who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)

— How public policy can cause harm (COMMENT: What public policy has caused you the most harm? For me, it is Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI. Because of my bad demographics, my critics/opponents have always used AA and DEI against me big time. I should write about that. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. If there had been no AA or DEI, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. Instead, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old. I would focus on my RINO superiors in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party. I would focus on the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me.)

(FROM THE AI POSTING: Unintended consequences: Public policies can have unintended consequences that harm the public, such as increased injuries from cycling to school. Inequitable distribution: Public policies can be designed in a way that disproportionately harms the most vulnerable groups. Policymakers who are not well-informed: Policymakers may not have the experience or knowledge to design interventions that are effective for all groups.)

FINANCIAL TIMES
— Americans are losing faith in four-year college degrees (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless. I should write about my critics/opponents who have degrees from Ivy League universities and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

PEW REACH CENTER
— Women are outpacing men in college completion, including in every major racial and ethnic group (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, employers are under ever-increasing pressure to hire women, to retain women, and to promote women. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, Firestone Stores in 1970, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified woman who would take the job. If I had qualified female coworkers in 1972, 1973, and 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted them instead of me. If I had a qualified female coworker in 1986, my Democrat GAO superiors would have promoted her instead of me.)
