FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE: Democrats acknowledge “Ballooning cost of insuring undocumented immigrants complicating state budget negotiations.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote illegal immigration.

— FRONT PAGE WITH BIG PICTURE: Democrats ever-increasingly promote reparations. Who do you believe should pay reparations and why? According to my critics/opponents, the more of the following that you are, the more reparations that you should pay: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, gun-owner, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats ever-increasingly promote illegal immigration.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/5/6/23711710/help-immigrants-migrants-shelter-asylum-chicago
— Democrats say “Storied Standard Club latest to house asylum-seekers. The shuttered club near the Dirksen Federal Building is being used to house 761 migrants now and up to 1,200 in the coming months.” I worked for IRS 1973-1980 and for GAO 1980-1990 right next to the Standard Club. In which buildings are/will Democrats housing/house illegals in your county, in your township, and in your municipality?.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/5/5/23712715/standard-club-asylum-seekers-migrants-shelter-housing
— Democrats say “Firefighters’ pension bill could cost Chicago taxpayers $3 billion.” I have had a Civil Service Retirement System pension since 1997 when I was 49 years old because that was when my Democrats GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” I should write a book about those who hold that against me the most.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— Democrats say “Black voters backing Biden, but not with 2020 enthusiasm.” I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. I should write a book about my Black superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who rejected tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors to get them a) to blame me for their problems and b) to take adverse actions against me.

CITIES 92.9
— Democrats say that the University of Chicago is the hardest college to get into in Illinois. According to my critics/opponents, degrees from non-Ivy League universities are worthless. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. In 1981, Charles Bowsher took over GAO and ran it for the next 15 years. Immediately, the following became worthless because one of Bowsher’s top priorities was to recruit, retain, and promote minority and female Ivy League university graduates who majored in public administration: a) my 1970 NIU bachelor’s degree in management, b) my 1976 Loyola MBA , c) my 1979 CPA certificate, d) my 1980 DePaul master’s degree in accounting, and e) my 1981 Certified Internal Auditor certificate and CPA license. Further, because of Bowsher and because of my bad demographics, GAO viewed the following as being worthless: a) my 1990 Certified Fraud Examiner certificate, b) my 1994 Certified Government Financial Manager certificate, c) my 1996 Certified Financial Services Auditor certificate, d) my 1997 Forensic Accountant certificate, and e) my 1997 IIT master’s degree in financial markets and trading.
https://www.cities929.com/2023/05/06/this-is-the-hardest-college-to-get-into-in-illinois-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Deciding where to go college is the first major life decision many Americans make. And while there are many factors to weigh when selecting a school – including cost and distance from home – many of the 16.6 million American college students today chose to enroll in the best school they could get into. It is generally believed that graduates of elite colleges and universities are better positioned for higher-paying careers later in life. And there is plenty of evidence to back this claim. According to one study conducted between 1996 and 2014, about 38% of Fortune 500 CEOs and 45% of billionaires attended elite post-secondary schools. Because elite colleges and universities offer high quality and rigorous academic programs, they receive far more applications each year than they can accept. As a result, many of the best schools in the country are also the most selective. It is worth noting that those who graduate from top-tier institutions are high achievers to begin with, and therefore, any career success cannot be attributed to their college education alone.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— White House Report Card: Most yet say Biden is too old, too out of touch – Paul Bedard (COMMENT: When did people start treating you like you were “too old?” My Democrat IRS superiors started treating me like I was “too old” in 1974 when I was 25 years old because they had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year. GAO audits IRS. Things only got worse for me in 1980 when my Democrat GAO superiors not only did not offer me a promotion to GS-13 to transfer from IRS to GAO, but forced me to take a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $104,583/year, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year, a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars. Constructive, they treated my 1976 Loyola MBA, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my almost 9 years of IRS work experience as being worthless. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

THE HILL
— Democrats say “Democratic senators urge Biden to allow states to sponsor noncitizens to expand workforce.” When I was young, if there had been as many noncitizens as there are now, they would have gotten the bad jobs that I got. The bad jobs that I got enabled me to a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964 when I was 16 years old, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, and g) graduate from NIU debt-free in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.

— Democrats say “Housing affordability still tough.” In September of 1972, when I was 24 years old, I bought a new town home in University Park at 774-5 Sunset Court.

SEE: https://www.redfin.com/IL/University-Park/774-Sunset-Ct-60484/unit-5/home/23344604 My IRS salary at the time was $65,633/year in today’s dollars.

— Rules for Radicals. (COMMENT: One of the Alinsky’s rules is “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” I should write a book about the biggest Alinsky disciples in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who refuse to be manipulated or dominated by them, 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 wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those a) who tried to stop me from reporting on the recent DeSantis Elmhurst event and b) who ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021.)
