— FRONT PAGE: Democrats say “Why asylum-seekers no longer are being sent to the Northwest suburbs.” Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Democrats and RINOs will send illegals to your county, to your township, and to your municipality.
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230616/why-asylum-seekers-no-longer-are-being-sent-to-the-northwest-suburbs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Chicago is struggling as much as ever to accommodate asylum-seekers being sent north from the Texas-Mexico border, the relief valve found in some suburbs last fall no longer is an option. The change is the result of a shift in state policy, preventing — for now — events like last year, when dozens of Venezuelan migrants arrived in suburbs including Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, Prospect Heights and Burr Ridge. “I have kept in touch with (state officials) and the state didn’t preclude reviving the process in the future, but are looking for more sustainable solutions to handle the numbers they are talking about,” Des Plaines Mayor Andrew Goczkowski said. “Right now those solutions seem to be focused on working with the city of Chicago to make the most of the federal dollars that were pushed in.” Des Plaines took in about 80 Venezuelan migrants last year, while Elk Grove Village became temporary home to about 90 and Prospect Heights welcomed about 200 asylum-seekers. A hotel in a part of Burr Ridge in DuPage County took in 64 asylum-seekers in what seemed to be a rare example of a transfer outside Cook County. An Illinois Department of Human Services spokesperson said by email that using suburban hotels to house asylum-seekers last fall was seen as a short-term solution, and that Chicago and the state continue to work together to support recent arrivals. He said the department allocated an additional $10 million last month to the city as part of a grant agreement to help asylum-seekers. The large group that arrived in Prospect Heights last October consisted mainly of families and included about 60 children. Prospect Heights City Administrator Joe Wade said he was impressed by how the community — particularly Wheeling Township Elementary District 21 — welcomed the new arrivals and incorporated them into existing programs. Though the impact on municipal resources was minimal, a Prospect Heights police officer took about 50 kids to a local park to play shortly after their arrival, Wade said. The Prospect Heights Park District donated soccer balls and other equipment for the children. The IDHS spokesperson said the asylum-seekers that arrived last year have since moved to independent housing across the area, and the department’s Illinois Welcoming Centers and the Immigrant Family Resource Program provide help to new arrivals.)

WBEZ
— Democrats say “Father and son are heading to college with a surprise scholarship.” What college scholarships did you get? My critics/opponents have always used my not getting any college scholarships against me. They stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of high school class and that my ACT score was only 24. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. In my defense, neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He was discouraged by his parents from seeking a college degree because he had brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood and they had been told that the stress of seeking a college degree would harm his health. My mother was raised on a farm and never attended high school.

— Democrats say “Republican push to defund federal law enforcement in retaliation for Trump indictments.” GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. While I worked for Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, Republicans had great success in defunding the agency. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious about that. They took their anger/hatred against Republicans out on me. They forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals. They assigned me to supervise the agency’s most problematic employees. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They delayed my promotions. They did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986 and they never promoted me to GS-14. They forced the GAO manager to retire in 1987 who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I as 49 years old. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

Why should Republican primary voters favor Mike Pence over the man who put him on the ticket seven years ago? “Donald Trump promised to govern as a conservative, and we did for four years,” Mr. Pence says. “He makes no such promise today. I mean, with regard to a whole range of issues, he and a few others in this field are moving away from a traditional conservative agenda.” During a visit to the Journal this week, Mr. Pence cites three of those defections.)

It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
