CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters crow that “Christie’s 2024 bid set to make criticism of Trump a central focus.” I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who not only demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being a biggest Trump supporter in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, but who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for that. I would focus on the aforesaid a) who did everything that they could to stop me from reporting on the recent DeSantis Elmhurst event and b) who ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021. I would focus on the aforesaid who focus on destroying those who share Trump’s demographics. I share the following demographics with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, gun-owner, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

CAR COMPLAINTS
— FORD 10R80 TRANSMISSION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT Class action includes Ford Expedition, Mustang, Ranger, F-150 and Lincoln Navigator. – David A. Wood (COMMENT: If you own a Ford vehicle with a 10R80 transmission and are interested in joining this class action lawsuit, contact Leland Belew at 312-224-8685 or lbelew@milberg.com Sadly, my new 2023 Ford Mustang GT Premium has a 10R80 transmission. I hope that this lawsuit prompts Ford to fix the transmission’s problems ASAP. My lawsuit against Ford in the late 1990s succeeded in getting Ford to fix the automatic transmission in my 1996 Thunderbird LX which I still own today. I should write a book about that lawsuit.)
