FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats acknowledge that “Teen takeover drags on 6 hours in Lake View the day after Pride Parade. Video posted to social media shows teenagers dancing, often lewdly, in the street and on top of cars, vans, a police squad car and a CTA bus.” How soon will a Democrat mob takeover and destroy your neighborhood?

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 15-year-old girl was charged with a felony count of aggravated assault of a peace officer and a misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, Bartoli said. Owen Thomas, 50, was also charged with a misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, Bartoli said. A day earlier, police made 25 arrests during the yearly bacchanal that follows the Pride Parade in Lake View, Bartoli said. Charges included illegal gun possession, aggravated battery to a peace officer, battery, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property and resisting arrest. One person was also arrested on a warrant.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “They were jumping on cars, breaking glass, throwing things. I know my personal automobile was used as a bar for people,” said a concerned resident who did not wish to be identified. The resident shared video with WGN News that shows kids surrounding a police car, with some even jumping on the vehicle. . .Neighbors told WGN News they were horrified by the extent of the damage Tuesday morning that included shoeprints on cars, dented hoods and broken windshields. “It’s terrifying,” said Grace Rohen, adding that she heard gunshots and was too scared to leave her apartment. “It has been very chaotic and as somebody who’s lived in Lakeview for the past three years, it’s very scary to see how things have changed over time.”)

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge that “2 arrested after people seen stomping, dancing on cars for hours near Lakeview CTA station. Alderman said similar incident happened after Chicago Pride Parade last year.” How soon will a Democrat mob takeover and destroy your neighborhood?

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who despise/hate those who share my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, old, Protestant, German American, and someone whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those who have taken other adverse actions against me including ending my service in 2021 as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote more mass/illegal immigration. To come into a country illegally and to stay in a country illegally is to demonstrate gross disrespect of that country if not hatred against that country. Democrats ever-increasing shout at citizens of foreign countries that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Democrats have declared a Second Civil War on Republicans and are using illegals as soldiers in their army. Soon, if current trends continue, a) citizens of foreign countries will be the majority in America, b) Democrats will officially give them the right to vote, and c) America will be destroyed.

— Democrats say “Unemployment nearing record low around metro Chicago.” I should write a book about being unemployed. I have been unemployed since September 30, 1997 a) when I was 49 years old, b) when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” and c) when GAO’s early retirement option ended. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $142,650/year. Reasons why my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire included a) they had the power to make the 6 more years that I needed to be eligible for regular retirement a living hell, b) they had made it extremely clear that they would use that power to do that, c) GAO was not unionized, d) I could not count on my U.S. Senator or my U.S. Congressman or anyone else to come to my defense because of my terrible demographics (conservative, Republican, White, male, old, draft-avoider, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844), e) my wife had a good job, f) we had no dependents, g) we had no debts, h) we had retirement savings, i) we owned 915 Cove Court in Wheaton and six cars (1997 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX, 1972 Corvette, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, and 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS), j) my Civil Service Retirement System pension would be $63,144/year in today’s dollars, and k) the federal government would pay 72% of our health insurance premiums for the rest of our lives.

That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette 11 months before and to pay for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months. My father died suddenly in October of 1969. My mother never attended high school.
