DAILY WIRE
— Chicago Mayor Spazzes Out Over ‘Racist’ Term ‘Illegal Alien’ “The last thing that I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”
https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-mayor-spazzes-out-over-racist-term-illegal-alien
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, unloaded on a reporter for asking about illegal aliens, which is a legal term for a person who is illegally in America. Johnson called the term “racist” and sarcastically suggested that he should also call black people “slaves.” The reporter asked Johnson about his apparent refusal to file a report to the White House detailing his city’s spending on illegal aliens. “What has happened with that?” the reporter asked. “We don’t have illegal aliens,” Johnson told the reporter while shaking his head. “I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message for which you’ve had.” When the reporter explained that he was merely using a legal term for a person illegally in the country, Johnson made a comparison to slavery. “Listen, the legal term for my people were slaves,” the Democrat said. “You want me to use that term, too?” “Let’s just get the language right,” the mayor continued. “We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing that I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.” Johnson posted the moment to his Instagram account on Saturday and captioned the post, “This isn’t a sci-fi show. These are human beings. We will not abandon our humanity to score cheap political points.” Johnson has made it a priority to limit the ability of federal law enforcement to detain people who are in the country illegally. Earlier this month, for example, he signed an executive order to create “ICE free zones” in Chicago, which is already a sanctuary city, The Daily Wire previously reported.)

KIPLINGER’S
— Laid Off at 59. DD: When my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, they succeeded in cutting my income by $86,371/year (56%) in today’s dollars. In today’s dollars, my salary was $153,151/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is only $66,780/year (44%). If they had let me work until I was eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003, my CSRS pension would have been much higher. The many adverse actions that they had taken against me has made it impossible for me to get a job appropriate for my work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional license.
https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/retirement-planning/i-got-laid-off-at-59-with-an-usd800-000-401-k-what-are-my-options
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Losing a job can be a devastating financial blow at any age. But when you’re older, it can hit especially hard. Although it’s illegal to discriminate against job candidates due to older age, it’s a hard thing to prove. And unfortunately, many older workers inevitably fall victim to age discrimination. That’s why a layoff at 59 can be downright brutal.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Picture this: you’re driving through a suburban neighborhood that your grandparents might have once called home. But instead of the predictable white picket fences and matching demographics of the 1950s, you’re seeing something entirely different. American suburbs were first populated by white families in the 1950s, and their demographics remained largely unchanged until recently. In 1990, 20% of suburbanites were people of color. By 2020, that number had more than doubled to 45%. The suburbs that once symbolized exclusivity have become melting pots of diversity, completely flipping the script on what suburban America looks like.)

EURASIA REVIEW
— How To Recognize Critical Race Theory. DD: My critics/opponents promote CRT, that is, they promote discrimination against those who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents.
https://www.eurasiareview.com/26102025-how-to-recognize-critical-race-theory-oped/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, CRT is always concerned with some form of “racial subordination.” The main blame for subordination is not placed on anyone in particular, but on what are often described as institutions, systems, or structures. . .The second key indicator of CRT is the role played by “white supremacy” in explaining all political, social, and economic problems. As Lew Rockwell has observed, the Marxist theory “of the substructure, or base, and the superstructures of society” has been loosely incorporated into critical race theory to explain the role of white supremacy in racial oppression.)
