EVANSTON ROUNDTABLE
— Former Republican candidate challenges Abughazaleh’s petitions for Congress. Objection claims voters’ signatures have incorrect or out of district addresses, were collected by underage circulators. DD: I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I used to always collect 30 petition signatures from registered Republican voters in my precinct for all the candidates who wanted to be on Republican primary ballots in my precinct. That took a lot of time and lots of effort. But I stopped doing that because ever-increasingly, Republican candidates om ballots in my precinct who lost elections blamed me for their loses. They blame what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. They blame what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007. They blame what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. They blame what I did as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019.

Of course, she vehemently disapproves of a) my avoiding the Vietnam War draft and b) my fighting race and gender based preference giving, that is, my fighting patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

— Unaffordable Illinois. DD: I have lived in Illinois since 1948. What has helped you afford things in Illinois? For me, it was my following conservative principles. For me, it was my taking bad jobs that my peers would not take. For me, it was my working my way through college. For me, me it was my earning a job-related bachelor’s degree, three job related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.

Moderate Black voters and young progressives favored Mamdani for mayor, while Andrew Cuomo won many wealthy New Yorkers and those who voted for Donald Trump. DD: What are the demographics of those who are moving into Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, your school district, and your precinct? As those who have demographics that vote for Democrats move in, poverty and crime increase. I should write about Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School district 200, and my precinct.

TIMES
— Too old to hire? DD: The Democrats who run the federal government waste the careers of and they get rid of their employees a) who they do not promote to GS-13 ($117,807/year) by age 25 and b) who are Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadline. I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but that was not until after I earned an MBA when I was 27, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. The following delayed my promotion to GS-13: Affirmative Action, DEI, and up-or-out, that is, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.
