(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facing tough Recession decisions, Mayor Tom Weisner declared early that year the Fourth of July Parade would be axed from the city budget. That announcement was quickly followed by another from Roosevelt-Aurora American Legion Post 84 Cmdr. Norris “Doc” Erickson and Ald. Stephanie Kifowit, a member of the post and now a state representative, who declared the veterans group was taking over the parade so the community could “continue to show our pride in our country.” In a matter of months but with a lot of hard work, the post raised $30,000 to keep this tradition going. A couple years later, the city got back in the game, splitting the cost with the Legion 50/50 and taking on more of the operations. “By 2019, the city was paying two-thirds and we were paying one-third,” noted current Post 84 Cmdr. Mike Eckburg, adding that the cost of the parade was reduced to around $15,000 to $19,000.)

560 THE ANSWER
— AM 560 Flash Straw Poll Shows GOP Gubernatorial Race in a Three-Way Tie GLEN ELLYN — After a spirited and sometimes contentious debate between four of the candidates for Illinois governor on Thursday night at the College of DuPage, AM 560 The Answer conducted a flash straw poll of listeners. The results of that poll show that the race for governor has tightened immensely, heading into the final days before the primary election. The poll, conducted on-line for one hour immediately following the debate, shows a virtual three-way tie among the field of candidates. Darren Bailey leads the field with 32.2% support, followed by Gary Rabine with 31.2%, and Jesse Sullivan at 30.7%. Rounding out the field are Paul Schimpf with 2.7%, Richard Irvin with 1.3%, and Max Solomon with 0.6%. Just 1.2% of respondents said they remain undecided ahead of Tuesday’s primary election. . .Results reflect the opinion of 1,815 likely voters participating in AM 560’s on-line straw poll, between 8:30 and 9:30pm on Thursday, June 23, 2022.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A retired Pittsburgh police officer has sued the City of Pittsburgh on reverse discrimination grounds, saying the city has denied benefits for his girlfriend while providing them to partners in same-sex relationships. Richard Nicholas, an officer from 1994 until his retirement in 2015, said the city has refused to grant health care benefits to his domestic partner, Kim Koller, because they are not gay. The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court this week, says the city has a pattern of discriminating against heterosexual couples while granting benefits to same-sex partners, citing an example involving a retired female officer and her female partner. The suit says that under city policy, domestic partners of employees and retired employees get the same benefits as spouses.)

— Older Americans are an overlooked solution to the ongoing talent shortage, says AARP CEO – PHIL WAHBA
(COMMENT: I should write a book about those who discriminate the most against older people in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who also discriminate the most against those who are conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— A group of lawyers has a plan for how to pay reparations for slavery to Black Americans, and it could finally close the racial wealth gap. Estate and trust lawyers propose using the federal estate tax to pay reparations for slavery. The tax generated $17.6 billion in 2020. Redirecting it could begin to close the racial wealth gap. – Laura McCamy

— Killing the LSAT in the Name of Diversity Won’t Cure the Problem – Vivia Chen
(COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. I should write a book about all the hiring, retention, and promotion requirements that Democrats have killed since the 1960s to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Constructively, my Democrat superiors rendered worthless the following that I earned: a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— Pretext
(COMMENT: Because my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes know that it is illegal to discriminate based on race, gender, age (40 or older), sexual orientation, religion, and/or national origin, they use pretexts to discriminate against those like me who are White, male, over age 40, heterosexual, Protestant, and/or German American. I should write a book about critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes and the pretexts that they have used. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on a) those who stopped me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks, b) those who gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) those who ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, d) those who ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, e) those who ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) those ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) those who tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) those who ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and i) those who viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. I would focus on a) Whites who discriminate against Whites to curry favor with non-Whites, b) males who discriminate against males to curry favor with females, c) those over age 40 who discriminate against those over age 40 to curry favor with those under age 40, d) heterosexuals who discriminate against heterosexuals to curry favor with LGBTQers, e) Protestants who discriminate against Protestants to curry favor with non-Protestants, and f) German Americans who discriminate against German Americans to curry favor with non-German Americans.)
