DAILY HERALD
— Bike repair stations popping up around the suburbs – Ralph Banasiak (COMMENT: Being in walking distance of Wheaton’s train stations and being close to the Illinois Prairie Path (IPP) were reasons why my wife and I bought the home that we did in 1978 and had the home built that we did in 1984. Our wedding gifts to each other were bikes. Before I became involved in Republican politics big time in 2000, we often rode our bikes on the IPP.)

POLITICO
— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats crow about their success in using redistricting to destroy Illinois Republicans. Their 3rd Congressional District is big example.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/25/redistricting-midterms-00070810
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois was perhaps the biggest redistricting coup for Democrats. They reduced the GOP footprint to just three districts, shored up retiring Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos’ district and netted a new seat anchored in Springfield. In anticipation of a possible Republican wave, Democratic groups threw some last-minute money to protect Reps. Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood, but both ended up winning by 8 points.)
— COMMENT: In Illinois’ new gerrymandered 3rd Congressional District, under Ramirez, expect a) that Hispanics will get even more preference over non-Hispanics, b) that females will get even more preference over males, and c) that Democrats will get even more preference over non-Democrats. If I had lived in the new 3rd Congressional District instead of the old 6th Congressional District in the 1980s and 1990s, GAO would not have hired me, and if it had, it would have done even more to waste my career and to get rid of me. Ever-increasingly, Democrats use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to destroy Republicans, that is, ever-increasingly, Democrats use patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to destroy Republicans. Ramirez got 201 votes in my precinct while Burau got only 134.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/11/25/progressive-latina-hispanic-voters-delia-ramirez-00070493
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ramirez won by 31 points in a district where Democrats have a 20-point advantage, according to Cook Partisan Voter Index. While Republicans did better than they did in 2020 (her moderate Republican opponent Justin Burau told me he is “a John McCain admirer”), Ramirez eked out a 51-49 victory in DuPage, where she won the county’s Hispanic-majority precincts with a 14-point margin, according to the analysis based on 2020 Census and precinct-level data.)

CNN
— IRS audits: Strange coincidence or new enemies list? – Zachary B. Wolf (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran IRS worked with Money Magazine in 1978 to disallow my education deductions because I had ever-increasingly complained about their discrimination against their employees who were Republican, and especially against their employees who were Republican and White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors had been in America for a long time. In 1975, they got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1974, 1973, and 1972. In 1974, they disallowed my travel vouchers. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

They stress that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that I lied about wanting to have children. I would focus on those who used our not having children to take the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors. I would focus on those whose spouses had little or no income.
