But we’re not different than any other ethnic group that has come here. We’ve all strived to work alongside of each other,” said Lou Rago, Italian American Human Relations Foundations president.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS & CHICAGO CRUSADER & CHICAGO MAFAZINE
— To get more votes from minorities, Democrats ever-increasingly shout at minorities that Whites have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all the problems that minorities have had, are having, and will have. What have your ancestors done against minorities? Mine have done nothing. What have your superiors done to close Chicago’s racial wealth gap? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Small Living in the Big City. – RACHEL FREUNDT (COMMENT: In 1974, when I was 25 years old, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building immediately after IRS promoted me to a GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) Revenue Officer position in the Loop. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate business classes at Loyola until 1976 when I traded in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo. I walked to/from that condo and work and graduate accounting courses at DePaul until 1978 when I got married, sold it for a $10,000 gain ($46,645 in today’s dollars), and bought a home in Wheaton with my wife.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Democrats say “Adam Kinzinger, the former Illinois congressman, isn’t endorsing for president (yet), but he wants to see Chris Christie on the debate stage next month. Kinzinger’s PAC has sent out an email encouraging donors to give to Christie’s campaign. Next month’s GOP debate in Milwaukee has rigid criteria to get on stage. Candidates must secure 40,000 donors for the first debate, and Christie isn’t there yet. “If he doesn’t meet the threshold,” according to the pitch, “there will be no one on stage to say ‘the emperor has no clothes.’” It’s a reference to former President Donald Trump.”

In 1961, when I was 13 years old, to stay with the Missouri Synod, they left Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete for the Missouri Synod-run Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest and transferred my brother and I to Hope Lutheran Grade School because Trinity Lutheran had transferred to the more-conservative Wisconsin Synod.
