— Stookey Township board votes to censure one of its own trustees – MIKE KOZIATEK
(COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who tried but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me at its 2006 Annual Convention in the Wheaton Bowl for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on those who blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady losing to Jim Oberweis and to Judy Baar Topinka in the 2006 Illinois Republican Party primary. Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered.)

— Half of French Believe in Demographic Shift ‘Great Replacement’ Theory – CHRIS TOMLINSON
(DIERSEN: From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer homebuyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)

https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/11/29/businesses-are-going-woke-heres-what-a-thoughtful-investor-needs-to-consider/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More and more, it seems big corporations and even banks have become tools of the left. Americans have been fired from their jobs, deplatformed from social media, and have even seen their bank accounts closed, simply for not bending a knee to the left. This has prompted many conservatives to rethink where they spend and invest their money.)

— Should the Supreme Court redefine ‘libel’ and ‘slander’ for public officials?
(COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, they can defame and slander me because I am a “public official.” They stress that I have been an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have defamed and slandered me the most. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) past and present Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) past and present conservative and religious leaders, and d) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, and e) those who I have sued.

FORBES
— Does Resharing Past Experiences With Racism Lead To Systemic Changes? Probably Not. – Janice Gassam Asare
(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have no problem with, if not applaud, the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me and that they would not have taken against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate, gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and unfair appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. My Democrat Firestone Stores boss rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in 1971. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
