— Democrats say “Chicago minimum wage hike.” If you have worked for the minimum wage and if it had been higher, what would you have done with the extra money? I worked for the minimum wage 1964-1966 and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with the money that I earned to drive to/from my parents’ home in Crete to/from classes at UIC. If I had been paid more, I probably would have bought a new loaded Pontiac GTO which I might still own today.

WGN9 & NBC5
— Democrats say “Johnson marks start of ‘One Summer Chicago’ initiative for youth employment.” What summer jobs did you have and what did you do with the money that you earned? I did yard work and delivered newspapers in Crete during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964. I washed dishes in Chicago Heights during the summer of 1965. I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights during the summer of 1966. I delivered mail in Park Forest during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969. With the money that I earned, I bought a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. I paid for my UIC expenses 1966-1968. I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967. I bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger in 1968. I paid for my NIU expenses 1969-1970. The aforesaid enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.

— Democrats acknowledge that “As the rest of the country recovers, Chicago’s Black unemployment remains high.”
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/crains-forum-racial-wealth-gap/black-unemployment-remains-source-concern
— Democrats say “Chicago’s wealth gap signals disparate realities for white residents and Chicagoans of color.” Democrats have run Chicago for many decades. My ancestors on my father’s side fled Chicago in 1854 to homestead a farm in Crete Township.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/crains-forum-racial-wealth-gap/harris-poll-wealth-gap-exposes-chicagoans-split-realities
— Democrats say “Homeownership is not the answer to the gaping gap in wealth.” How long have your ancestors been homeowners? My ancestors on my father’s side homesteaded a farm in Crete Township in 1854. They sold that farm in 1864 and bought 10 acres just northeast of downtown Crete. They had a large brick home built on the west side of that 10 acres in 1897 and sold that home in the 1940s. In 1926, they sold all but a quarter acer of the rest of that 10 acres and had a brick home (1286 Wood Street) built on quarter acre. I lived in that home 1954-1972. My brother and I inherited that home when our mother died in 2016. I inherited that home last year when my brother died and I sold it for $99,900 last year. The home’s value declined in relative terms after my father died suddenly in 1969 and as Democrats moved into Crete. My mother inherited $4,000 when her parents died during the 1970s. My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my parents and all of my ancestors were filthy rich and that explains all of the successes that I have had in life. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on their parents’ wealth.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Chicago police spokesperson said four juveniles were among those arrested: one for aggravated battery to a police officer, two for resisting arrest, and one for reckless conduct. Cops arrested three adults for aggravated battery to a peace officer, a felony. The arrestees did not appear for a bond hearing on Monday, so they will likely be in court on Tuesday afternoon. Seven adults were arrested for reckless conduct, six for misdemeanor battery, two for criminal damage to property, and one was taken in on a warrant, according to the CPD spokesperson. Two adults were charged with unlawful use of a weapon.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/childrens-hospital-promotes-sex-ed-material-that-you-have-to-see-to-believe
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just when you thought the “progressive” dystopia of Chicago, Illinois, couldn’t get any worse with exceedingly high crime and expenses, local school districts are paying a children’s hospital thousands of taxpayer dollars to help teach children about gender confusion and “inclusive sexual health.” At least, that’s what the hospital calls it. Lurie Children’s Hospital, a top-ranked facility in the state, is providing “question-and-answer workshop[s],” seminars, and other services for LGBT-related lessons, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller. (Just to describe those lessons here requires a content warning, so don’t keep reading if you are easily offended.))

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2023/06/26/almost-everyone-hates-whats-happening-too-few-want-it-to-change-n560674
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you happen to live in the United States (and several other nations, frankly), you’ve probably noticed that things seem to be increasingly going to hell in a handbasket lately. Floods of illegal aliens are being flown and bussed all over the country. The sidewalks in many cities are impassable because of massive homeless encampments littered with drug addicts who are, in some cases, literally overdosing right out on the street. Parking your car at the curb for more than three minutes in many urban areas while running errands is basically a sign that you really wanted to get a new car anyway. If you’re lucky enough to somehow find a public school where any of the children can read at grade level, the staff will probably start trying to trans your kid as soon as you pull out from the parking lot. And overseas, our former partners and allies appear to be abandoning America in droves. It’s not just your imagination. And with all of this going on, it’s no wonder that the numbers in the latest NBC News survey on the state of the nation look so dismal. When asked if the country is currently on the right track or wrong track, a shocking 74% said we were going in the wrong direction. They somehow managed to locate one in five who said that things are going well, but I assume none of them live in Chicago or San Francisco. (NY Post))

While all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois.

In addition, Reuters determined that President Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president — except Donald Trump — are direct descendants of slaveholders: Jimmy Carter, George W.

Two of the nine sitting U.S. Supreme Court justices — Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch — also have direct ancestors who enslaved people.)
