I supported Pat O’Malley in the primary, but I supported Jim Ryan big time in the general election. I should write a book about those who continue to this day to blame me and to blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for Jim Ryan’s defeat in that general election and b) for all subsequent defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: DuPagePads asks county to help fund winter hotel stays for homeless – Katlyn Smith (COMMENT: For many decades, Democrats have sent their homeless to DuPage County, and especially to Milton Township and to Wheaton and painted them as being products of failed religious, conservative, and/or Republican parents. Soon, under the Democrats, everyone in DuPage County will be a) handing out welfare and/or b) receiving welfare. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20221108/its-going-to-save-lives-dupagepads-asks-county-to-help-fund-winter-hotel-stays-for-homeless
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In pre-pandemic times, DuPagePads was providing nightly shelter for about 150 people experiencing homelessness during the winter. The Wheaton-based nonprofit organization now uses a former Downers Grove hotel to house roughly 300 people every night — including 132 children as of this week. DuPagePads bought the hotel property in the spring with the help of $5 million in funding from the county.)

But This Time Is Different – Mike Gonzalez (COMMENT: While I worked for Chicago-area employers 1964-1997, Chicago-area Democrat politicians always put tremendous pressure on them to give preference to my Democrat coworkers and subordinates, and especially to those who were Black, Hispanic, Asian, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or to those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that. While I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO major donors have always put tremendous pressure on Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization leaders to give preference to their members who were Black, Hispanic, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or to those whose ancestors had not been in America for a long time. )

https://townhall.com/columnists/ryanbomberger/2022/11/08/democrat-fragility-n2615641
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Christian colleges are just as bad. When I delivered a presentation called “Black Lives Matter In and Out of the Womb” at Wheaton, some of the school’s woke staff and leftist student leadership couldn’t handle simple truths. Days later, they smeared me in a campus-wide email and claimed I made “students, staff and faculty of color feel unheard, underrepresented and unsafe on campus.” They demonized the young College Republicans who invited me to speak and gave them hell for the rest of the year. How dare Christian conservatives not bow down at the altar of Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theory! )

Because of my performance, IRS promoted me to GS-12 (currently $88,229/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) and got rid of the IRS manager who had a) promoted me to GS-9 (currently $60,840) in 1972, b) promoted me to GS-11 in 1973, c) got me the CentiPhone Manager assignment, and d) promoted me to GS-12 in 1974.)

My outstanding father almost always worked part-time jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. That resulted in his dying suddenly from heart failure when he was 47 and I was 21 because he lifted something that was too heavy working a part-time job.)

— Stop Looking at Unemployment Figures. They Tell Us Nothing About the Job Market. Economic hardship is much worse than what the official numbers are reporting. – Laura Michelle Davis (COMMENT: According to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, illegals take bad jobs that citizens of America refuse to take. I present myself as a counter-example. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I took were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

POLITICO
— Voters appear ready to blame Democrats for economy, inflation – BRITTANY GIBSON (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, and especially Jim Ryan, Bill Brady, and Peter Roskam. They hint/imply/argue/shout that they lost because I supported one of their primary opponents and/or because I painted them as being too conservative to win general elections. They blame what I have done as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and as a Republican precinct committeeman since 1999. They blame what I did as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on a) past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, TAPROOT, and ICRC, b) past and present “Republican” leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and Wheaton Park District, and c) past and present “Republican” candidates on ballots in my precinct.)

— Why Conservatives Can’t Stop Acquiring Media Companies – A.J. BAUER (COMMENT: Of course, the more that I do encourage people to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, the more that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes do to destroy me. Between 2005 and 2019, I hand-delivered flyers to all the residences and businesses on Wheaton’s Independence Day parade route that promoted Republican participation in the parades. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes ended that in 2021. All those flyers listed me as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor.)
