https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20221025/big-money-race-for-dupage-county-board-chair-kicks-into-high-gear-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hart and Conroy have sparred over who has the requisite qualifications for a job that pays $136,959 a year. Hart, a management consultant from Hinsdale, has climbed the political ladder quickly. He was first appointed to the county board in 2017 and went on to win his first full term. Hart said he “could hit the ground running on day one” and would draw on his private-sector experience. “We’re going to need the right leadership, and I think for this position, considering the size and scope of the county government, the fact that we have 2,000 employees, have a very large budget, we need someone that is skilled in, frankly, being an executive and managing large organizations,” Hart said. “I have that expertise. We need someone that’s shown a demonstrated record at the county level of having success and an understanding and knowledge of county issues.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— REMEMBER 2016: Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman takes the debate stage tonight against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, and we can’t help thinking of the Illinois Senate race six years ago. That’s when former Republican Sen. Mark Kirk squared off against Democrat Tammy Duckworth in two debates. Kirk was an inspiration for taking the stage, having survived a stroke a few years earlier. But he stumbled in the first debate. And in the second, he questioned Duckworth’s patriotism, seemingly because of her ethnicity. Was it a gaffe because of his stroke? Or just a gaffe? Fast forward to tonight when Pennsylvania voters will similarly be zeroing in on Fetterman’s every word, paus and possible gaffe after his own stroke earlier this year. – Shia Kapos (COMMENT: Of course, ever since my January 10, 2022 brain bleed and stroke, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and my dupes have zeroed in on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters looking for anything that they can use against me.)

— UC Irvine launches ‘Center for Liberation, Anti-Racism, and Belonging’ – KYLE REYNOLDS
https://www.thecollegefix.com/uc-irvine-launches-center-for-liberation-anti-racism-and-belonging/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former New York University professor said such centers like those at UC Irvine, will likely be used to push critical race theory. Michael Rectenwald, a former professor of liberal studies at New York University, told The College Fix in an email that such centers are simply meant to promulgate the agenda of critical race theorists. Rectenwald left NYU after facing hostility from his peers for his criticism of political correctness. “The impact of such ‘anti-racism’ centers is to reinforce the belief in ‘systemic racism.’ These centers suggest that racism is endemic to the culture of universities and the United States at large,” Professor Michael Rectenwald told The Fix via email. “These centers are earmarks of the Critical Race Theory (CRT) agenda.” “They have the effect of guilt-tripping white people for being white, while coddling black students and convincing them that they are victims of said systemic racism,” he said. “Systemic racism is what CRT ‘scholars’ say exists in the absence of any real racists.” He also commented on the harm that such “anti-racism” centers can produce. Rectenwald said the ills from “[anti-racism] ideology” are “manifold.” “First, it treats all people of color as victims without agency and thus disempowers them by convincing them that their fate is decided by exogenous forces alone,” he wrote in his emailed comments. “Second, it shames whites and guilt-trips them into believing that they are inherent oppressors, no matter what they do.” “DEI overwrites merit-based acknowledgement, grading, promotions, and advancement, thus destroying the basis for real achievement,” he told The Fix. “In fields in which people’s lives are at stake, such as medicine, engineering, and more, it will lead to what I have called ‘death by diversity.’” “The University of California, like the vast majority of the academy today, has succumbed to a pernicious, fallacious, and disabling ideology. Its degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on,” Rectenwald told The Fix. Similar “anti-racism” centers exist at numerous universities throughout the country, including Boston University, Temple University and Harvard University.)

— Mayorkas’ Stunning Betrayal Of Border Patrol Should End His Tenure – WILL DAVIS
https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/24/mayorkas-stunning-betrayal-of-border-patrol-should-end-his-tenure/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Alejandro Mayorkas is a hardcore, anti-borders ideologue. He sacrificed these patriotic Border Patrol agents because he personally despises their work. As his statement hinted shortly after the incident, he believes border security is inherently racist. Thus, by fighting to open up America’s borders, he is fighting “systemic racism.” Mayorkas knew exactly what he was doing by smearing these agents — and not out of humanitarian concerns. He seized on Americans’ compassion to weaken America’s borders. Mayorkas understood that Americans would be outraged at Border Patrol’s supposed mistreatment of these migrants, allowing him to denigrate his critics as selfish and cruel. Mayorkas’ strategy is especially cynical considering the record number of migrant deaths on his watch. By weakening the Border Patrol and promising amnesty and government benefits to all who come, the secretary is allowing for violent victimization of migrants flooding into the U.S. While Mayorkas will never publicly admit it, it’s clear he shares the same worldview as borderless America advocates who have called to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and compared Border Patrol agents to Nazis. A person with such a deranged worldview belongs nowhere near a position of power.)

— Affirmative Action Is Racist—Against Asians. It’s Time for SCOTUS to Overturn It – DENNIS SAFFRAN (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, Democrats have used Affirmative Action (AA) to get rid of Republicans and especially to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, RINOs do the same thing. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on Democrats and RINOs who have used AA to get rid of me.)

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats use “bused immigrants” to promote hatred against Republicans. What have you done that gave your critics/opponents ammunition to use against you? I refused to become a Democrat. I avoided the draft. I became a federal employee and worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. I bought new cars including a Corvette. I bought a new town home, a studio condo, and a one-bedroom condo. I claimed partial day per diem and deducted my graduate education expenses. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I suggested myself to Money Magazine to be the subject of one of its “One Person’s finances” articles. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton just east of Harrison and President and I opposed the installation of a traffic signal at that intersection. We had a home built in Wheaton. We filed a lawsuit concerning that home and the subdivision that it was built in. I filed a lawsuit against the attorney who represented us in that lawsuit. We gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my employer with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I continue to support all the planks in the Republican Party platform. I supported Pat O’Malley in the 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary. I continue to a) refuse to be manipulated or dominated by my critics/opponents, b) refuse to glorify and praise them, c) refuse to pander to them, d) refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and f) refuse to give them money. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

GAO a) delayed my promotion to GS-13, b) did not did not promote me beyond GS-13, and c) forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

I should write a book about moderate Republican Party leaders and elected officials in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton since 2000. I would focus those who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me because I support the aforesaid planks.)

— Americans Fall Further Behind on Retirement Savings as Inflation Bites. A new survey found that 55% of people feel they haven’t saved enough, and inflation is preventing them from doing so. – Suzanne Woolley (COMMENT: My wife and I always contributed the maximum amounts to retirement savings plans that IRS allowed. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, we were able to do that a) because our parents were filthy rich, b) because I have always benefitted tremendously from discrimination against minorities and against women, c) because I avoided the draft, d) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, and e) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. In our defense, a) saving for our retirement was always a top priority for us; my wife worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions 1970-1992 and b) we always tried to live on just one of our salaries; my salary ended in 1997.)

— Migrant crisis is ultimate test of NYC schools. The arrival of thousands of young asylees couldn’t have come at a more chaotic time for schools. – MADINA TOURÉ (COMMENT. Under the Democrats, expect that ever-increasing, teaching students how to speak, read, and write Spanish will be your school district’s top priority.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/24/migrant-crisis-is-ultimate-test-of-nyc-schools-00062916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now the city is grappling with an unprecedented challenge: How to best integrate a sudden influx of migrant kids — with varying educational backgrounds, significant language barriers and understandably unstable personal lives — into an education system that’s totally unready for them. “We need a new plan that goes beyond enrollment and that touches more on the ‘What happens now that the kids are in schools?’ piece,” Andrea Ortiz of the New York Immigration Coalition said in an interview. “How are the schools supposed to support these students? What expectations are there in terms of what additional monetary supports those schools can expect to be able to meet the needs?” Schools are hustling to find more bilingual teachers and adapt curricula to accommodate newcomers’ unique needs without disrupting existing students — all as city scores on state math test are dropping, an onerous class-size mandate looms and the DOE’s budget remains tied up in an unrelated legal battle.)
