CONCORD MONITOR
— On the Trail: No July 4 vacation for presidential hopefuls – PAUL STEINHAUSER (COMMENT: Hopefully, Republican candidates for the following offices will have entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parade: a) U.S. President, b) U.S. Representative, c) Illinois Senator, d) Illinois Representative, e) DuPage County States Attorney, c) DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk, d) DuPage County Recorder, e) DuPage County Coroner, f) DuPage County Auditor, and g)DuPage County Board. I started serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2005. But my anti-conservative and my anti-Republican critics/opponents ended that in 2021. They hint/imply/argue/shout that what I did caused Republican candidates to lose. I should write a book about Republican participation in and sponsorship of Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s a tradition in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state – White House hopefuls marching in our Independence Day parades in the year before the presidential primary.)

LOS ANGELES PROGRESSIVE
— Democrats say “Inequity and Injustice Remains: The Facade of the 4th of July. We experience inequity and injustice everywhere. And the greatest threat to the United States is white supremacist domestic terror. Nothing to celebrate here.” I should write a book about Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO efforts since 1978 to discourage Republican participation in and sponsorship of Wheaton Independence Day parades.

— To promote and retain Democrats in the federal government who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors increasingly lowered promotion and retention requirements.

I should write a book about that.
