— Democrats say “Student loan debt is reinforcing economic inequalities.” Where did the money come from to pay for your colleges expenses? For me, the money came from what I earned a) washing dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966, b) cleaning golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipping slag and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights in 1966, c) delivering mail in Park Forest 1966-1969, d) selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances and pumping gasoline in Chicago Heights 1970-1972, e) collecting delinquent taxes in Chicago, Harvey, and Joliet 1971-1980, and f) auditing federal agencies 1980-1997. The aforesaid money enabled me to pay for a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Yes, I acknowledge that college expenses were much lower back then.

— Biden seeks 15% more for IRS, on top of current $80 billion boost – Haris Alic (COMMENT: I worked for IRS 1971-1980. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that to promote hatred against me. I should write a book about that. IRS offered me a job in 1971 because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I accepted IRS’s job offer because I was unemployed because Firestone Stores had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I needed income to help support my mother and my brother because my father had died suddenly in late 1969. According to my critics/opponents, I took the job because I had almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority from working only part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969 and because my unused sick leave was reinstated.)

— Trump says he would have fought Watergate and that quitting was Nixon’s ‘biggest regret’ – Paul Bedard (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. My Democrat Chicago office IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates a) hated Nixon and b) took their hatred against Nixon out on me. I was one of the extremely few IRS employees who were Republican. Further, I was conservative, White, male, draft-avoider, non-poor, Protestant, 100% German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844. They were furious that I was taking graduate business courses at Loyola and that I had a) bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. It is called a) political affiliation discrimination, b) reverse discrimination, c) religious discrimination, d) national origin discrimination, and e) envy. All my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates painted themselves as being financially distressed because they were discriminated against by Republicans. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

FORBES
— Vehicles And Voting: What Your Car Might Say About How You’ll Vote – Bill Howard (COMMENT: The vehicles that you own/have owned say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself. I have only owned American nameplate vehicles. Some of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blast me for not doing enough “original work.” I should do the research and publish all the vehicles that the candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct own and have owned. I currently own eight vehicles: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2016 Ford Mustang, 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT, 2019 Ford Escape Titanium, and 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier. I have owned a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, 1968 Oldsmobile 442, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, 1969 Dodge Charger SE, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, 1978 Chevrolet Chevette, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier, and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to data collected by market research firm Strategic Vision, there is a relationship between political leanings and car buying habits. For example, many Honda and Subaru drivers are more likely to lean Democratic and therefore vote for former Vice President Joe Biden. On the other hand, full-size pickup drivers lean heavily Republican and might be more likely to favor President Donald Trump. . .“Democrats outnumber Republicans in the sedan segment and they are more likely to drive hybrids or EVs,” Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision, told Forbes Wheels. “Republicans lead in the trucks, luxury, sporty and family vehicle categories.” There is near-parity in smaller sub-segments of the market such as midsize mainstream and luxury sedans as well as smaller crossovers, Edwards said. . .Brands also convey political leanings. “Audi, BMW and Volvo are Democratic, while Cadillac, Land Rover, Lexus and Lincoln are heavily Republican,” Edwards said. Mercedes-Benz buyers are more likely to be Republican, however, a significant minority are Democrats, and Chrysler, Genesis, Jeep and Kia are more balanced between political preference, he said. Democrats also are less likely to be new-vehicle buyers because they skew younger and are more likely to get a used car, according to Edwards. They also are open to foregoing car ownership in favor of public transportation or ride sharing, and if they do own their own vehicles, it’s for a longer period of time, he said. “Republicans are more likely to own a vehicle for only three to six years,” Edwards said. The average car on the road is nearly 12 years old, according to industry research firm IHS Markit.)

— How you spend your time is how you spend your life – Thomas Oppong (COMMENT: What do you believe is important to do and how much time can/do you spend doing that? Needless-to-say, I believe that putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters each and every morning is extremely important. I can and I do spend 10+ hours each and every day doing that. I should write a book about those who have done the most since 2000 a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.)

THE MUSE
— What Motivates You? – Stav Ziv (COMMENT: The following motivates me to spend thousands of dollars every year and 10+ hours each and every day putting together and sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters each and every morning: the failure/refusal of the following to defend/advance the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization; b) Republican elected officials, conservative leaders, and religious leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton; and c) those who I have sued. Further, I am motivated by the adverse actions that the aforesaid have taken against me and continue to take against me. Further, I am motivated by the tragic success that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs are having in Illinois, DuPage County, DuPage County’s 4th District, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct in promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, that is, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism in the aforesaid political jurisdictions.)

ECONOMIST
— American universities are pursuing fairness the wrong way. Drop legacy admissions—not standardized exams. – Editorial (COMMENT: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. UIC accepted me in 1966 a) because I had taken college preparatory courses while I attended Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966, b) because I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and c) because my ACT score was 24. UIC accepted me notwithstanding the fact that I had not demonstrated any leadership potential. I had washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and seniors years and the summer in between to earn money to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to get to/from jobs and classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete.)

Kresge in Chicago Heights during my junior and seniors years at Crete-Monee High School and the summer in between, b) my working all the part-time hours that I could delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office while I attended UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969, c) my working part-time for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights in 1972 and working full-time for IRS 1972-1980 while I took graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and d) my working full-time for GAO while took graduate finance courses at IIT 1992-1997. Further, my working full-time for IRS in 1978 and 1979 harmed my CPA examination scores in 1979 and my working full-time for GAO in 1980 and 1981 harmed my Certified Internal Auditor examination scores in 1981.)
