CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Democrats ever-increasingly use a “122-page report on Wheaton College’s history of racism and discrimination” to promote more hatred against those in Wheaton who are non-poor, conservative, Republican, Protestant, and/or German American. When my wife and I got married in 1978, we bought a home in Wheaton. In 1984, we had a home built in Wheaton. I am non-poor, conservative, Republican, Protestant, and German American. I should write a book about my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who demonized, denigrated, and condemned Wheaton the most as being full of disgusting undeservedly filthy rich conservatives, Republicans, Protestants, and German Americans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. My Democrat GAO superiors’ promoting the aforesaid hatred was one reason why I succumbed to their efforts to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

WLDS
— What were your ancestors doing in 1908? How long have your ancestors been in America? What are your demographics? Ever-increasingly, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, and the more of the following that you are, the more that Democrats and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that you have benefitted from discrimination against Blacks: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, and/or German American. I am all of the aforesaid. My critics/opponents have always stressed my aforesaid demographics and that my ancestors have been in America since 1844. In my defense, I have always stressed that they always lived in northeast Illinois and that they never could have and never did discriminate against Blacks. In 1908, on my father’s side, they operated Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side, they operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on how they have benefitted from slavery and from discrimination against Blacks.

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Billboard Chris, a vocal opponent of gender ideology, refused to remove videos of a conversation outside Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, where he expressed his concerns about gender reassignment surgeries for children. His refusal came in response to an email from a clinician at the hospital who requested the videos’ removal, citing discomfort and distress caused by their dissemination. – Bree Gonzales
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/649691061-chris-the-distress-you-feel-is-nothing-compared-to-the-lifelong-harm-you-are-advocating-for-with-children
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. J.B Pritzker, through a non-profit foundation, has directly funded gender reassignment of children –meaning they have engaged in experimental surgery to lop off or greatly alter the sex parts of children – at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, according to Prairie State Wire. Lurie Children’s Hospital has distributed materials and held training sessions promoting gender theory and sexually explicit content in several Chicago-area school systems. The hospital was accused of promoting gender ideology and providing materials to schools promoting radical gender theory.)

FOX NEWS
— Welfare pays more than minimum wage in most states. What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. Because my critics/opponents stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and because my ACT score was only 24, one could argue that because I earned the aforesaid degrees, certifications, and license, just about anyone could do that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When Ibram X. Kendi’s preposterous thesis that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination” becomes mainstream practice, you know things are upside down. Kendi is the author of the poorly reasoned 2019 leftist propaganda book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” which became not only a bestseller, but a clarion call for progressives. In a speech at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Kendi put his anti-reasoning skills on display, according to the New York Post. “When I see racial disparities, I see racism,” Kendi said. If that isn’t a blanket generalization, the logical fallacy of that name has no meaning.)
