WBBM
— Democrats say “Ahead of budget address, Johnson says influx of migrants will not disrupt community investment.” Everything is a zero-sum-game. Money that Democrats spend on illegals is money that will not spent on citizens of America including those who are minority, female, LGBTQ, poor, younger, older, recent immigrants, etc.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

— Democrats acknowledge that “Activists gather in Little Italy, call for return of Columbus statues 3 years after removal. Statues of Christopher Columbus were pulled out of Chicago parks in 2020 after an order from former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.” Ever-increasingly, to be Democrat is to be anti-Italian.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2023/10/9/23910057/christopher-columbus-statues-chicago-parks-activists-seek-return

NPR ILLINOIS
— Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly promote more age discrimination. It is OK to stress someone’s mental/physical problems/shortcomings/failings, but it is not OK to stress someone’s age. After I turned 25 years old in 1973, because my Democrat IRS superiors had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by that age, they stressed my age to justify never promoting me to GS-13. To justify that, they ignored/dismissed the fact that a) I had made GS-12 in 1974, GS-11 in 1973, and GS-9 in 1972, b) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) that I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran, my Democrat IRS superiors would not have subjected me to the aforesaid up-or-out type age discrimination.
