But in today’s dollars, my CSRS pension is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972.

— Flooded basements are becoming more common in Chicago. Here’s what you (and city officials) can do. When big storms hit, basements fill with stormwater and sewage. But there are steps, big and small, that could help keep Chicago above water. – Jessica Pupovac (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many thousands of dollars and the many hundreds of hours that I have had to spend since 1984 to stop basement and lot flooding a) because Wheaton approved a subdivision lot drainage plan that was woefully inadequate and b) because Wheaton allowed many serious construction/building code violations. Wheaton and developer/builder should have but did not disclose to potential lot buyers that the subdivision was constructed on a watershed area and former septic field that was cris-crossed with subterranean drainage lines. Further, Wheaton allowed construction of 928 Golf Lane uphill ( https://www.redfin.com/IL/Wheaton/928-Golf-Ln-60189/home/18126604 ) and that dramatically increased stormwater runoff problems for the subdivision and especially for my lot.)

— Democrats acknowledge that “Trust in media matches lowest historical reading.” Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media in America a) serves as an arm of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties and b) promotes hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, gun-owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— Democrats say “Republicans have created a void that’s becoming harder to escape.” Democrats ever-increasingly use the Speaker vote problem to demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans. My critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012 and ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007 to kill those organizations which is what they did. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.

WASHINGTON MONTHLY
— The Democrat Party succeeds because it requires its leaders to defend and advance its platform. The Republican Party fails because it lets its leaders to not only reject planks in its platform, but to destroy leaders who support those planks. Those planks most commonly are the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)
