FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT LEANING SOURCES

ABC7
— Democrats acknowledge that “Migrant families say they were forced to leave South Side shelter because they found jobs.” Do they have work permits? Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-migrants-migrant-crisis-lake-shore-hotel-news/13754546/
— Democrats crow that “Mayor Brandon Johnson briefs Chicago City Council members on plan to house migrants in tent cities.” Democrats ever-increasingly promote more illegal immigration.
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-mayor-brandon-johnson-migrants-news-migrant-plan/13752467/
— Democrats crow that “Pelosi, 83, says she’ll run for reelection in 2024.” How has age discrimination impacted you? In 1975, when I was 26 years old, I applied for GS-13 IRS positions. I applied again in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980. But my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. They never promoted me a) because I was a non-veteran White male Protestant German American Republican WHO HAD NOT MADE GS-13 BY AGE 25, that is b) because of up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Pelosi is exempt from up-or-out and the aforesaid discrimination because she is a Democrat, female, non-Protestant, and non-German American.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrats crow that “Chicago will spend $255.7 million on migrant crisis by year’s end” but acknowledge that “Alderpersons were not told where the tent cities would be located — they were simply asked to identify potential sites in their wards.” Where will Democrats and RINOs put tent cities in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district?

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats decry that “Hundreds of military promotions are on hold as a Republican senator demands end to abortion policy.” What promotions have you had? While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, a) I was one of their extremely few employees who were Republican and b) GAO was almost always under agency-wide promotion freezes because of Republican-led budget cuts. Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors took their strong hatred against Republicans out on me. They not only delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They turned my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. They assigned me to work for, work with, and supervise their most problematic employees. They succeeded in keeping me off of audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.
