ILLINOIS GOP
— ILGOP Statement Following Vice Presidential Debate: Following the vice presidential debate, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement:
“Tonight, Senator JD Vance exposed leftist Tim Walz’s extreme, out-of-touch agenda with our nation and showed the importance of electing President Trump in November. Tim Walz was clear that a Harris-Walz administration is nothing more than a continuation of the disastrous Biden presidency that’s seen a failed economy, open borders, and out of control crime on the rise. Illinois does not need another far-left governor serving as Vice President to help JB Pritzker raise taxes and drive families away from the Prairie State.”

I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, and worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. That enabled me to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

— Are You A ‘Rich’ Retiree? Here’s The Net Worth And Income You Need To Be In The Top 10% (COMMENT: What reduces your retirement income and savings the most? For me, it is my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasting my career and forcing me to retire early. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign when I was 20 in 1969. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, delayed my promotions, did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986, never promoted me beyond GS-13, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997. My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my bachelor’s degree (NIU-management-1970), my three master’s degrees (Loyola-business-1976, DePaul-accounting-1980, and IIT-finance-1997), my six professional certifications (accounting-1979, internal auditing-1981, fraud examination-1990, government financial management-1994, financial services auditing-1996, and forensic accounting-1997), and my professional license (CPA-1981). They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://www.aol.com/rich-retiree-heres-net-worth-213214812.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To crack the top 10% of retirees, your net worth needs to hit around $1.9 million, according to Federal Reserve Board survey data. For those aged 65-74, that figure jumps to about $2.63 million; for retirees 75 and older, it climbs even higher to $2.86 million. This sharply contrasts the average retiree, whose net worth is much lower – closer to $280,000 on average. If you’ve crossed that $2 million line, you’re likely looking at a very different retirement experience from the average.)

— Vance and Walz are both veterans. Here’s what it means to have a vet VP (COMMENT: Ever since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used against me my avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about that. I would focus on my Democrat a) Post Office superiors 1966-1969, b) Firestone Store boss 1970-1972, c) IRS superiors 1971-1980, and d) GAO superiors 1980-1997. Further, I might still be a GAO employee if I had been a veteran. GAO employees who were veterans were officially protected from suffering any adverse impacts from the dramatic Republican-led downsizing of the agency.)
