CHICAGO CRUSADER
— Democrats say that Bobby Rush encourages Chicagoans to cast their ballots for Mayor Lightfoot. I would not be surprised if Democrat Bobby Rush acknowledged that in 1997, when I was 49 years old, he forced my Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors to force me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could replace me with my Black Democrat subordinate and give him my job and my preferred corner office. GAO works for Congress. Rush represented Chicago in Congress 1993-2023. Rush scores 97% by the NAACP on Affirmative Action (AA). Democrats use AA to replace Republicans with Democrats who are minority, female. and/or younger.

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— Illinois Democrats ever-increasingly push pot.
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-cannabis-sales-dip-from-monthly-record/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marijuana sales come with a social risk. A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics found instances in which children ingest cannabis are up 1,375%, which was blamed on edibles that look like candy and other treats to toddlers. Illinoisans pay the second-highest taxes in the nation to buy recreational marijuana, which pushes consumers to unregulated sellers. Illinois was recently rated the nation’s 8th-most sinful state, and state lawmakers like to impose sin taxes. But there would be less need to do so and more revenue available for public services were state lawmakers committed to reforming pension spending, which has increased by 584% since 2000. For reference, total spending has grown by 21% in that time. Instead of inventing new ways to tax Illinoisans and hoping for more sinful behaviors, lawmakers should look to the other side of the budget: spending. Revenue shortages will always be an issue when spending increases at an irresponsible and unsustainable rate.)

— Democrats say that DeSantis is preferred to Trump by nearly every key GOP demographic. What demographics a) do you share with both Trump and DeSantis, b) do you share with Trump only, c) do you share with DeSantis only, and d) do you share with neither Trump nor DeSantis? Trump and DeSantis and I are conservative, Republican, White, male, heterosexual, married, non-poor, have master’s degrees, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Trump and I are about the same age, German American, Protestant, and draft avoiders. While Trump and DeSantis have degrees from Ivy League universities, I do not. While Trump and DeSantis have children, I have none. Trump has no professional certifications or licenses and DeSantis is an attorney. I have six professional certifications (CPA and Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner, Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant) and a professional license (CPA). While Trump and DeSantis have not been union members, I was one for almost 12 years. While Trump and DeSantis have been federal elected officials, I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 25 years. DeSantis was a Congressman. GAO works for Congress, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. So far, Democrats and RINOs have succeeded in making me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) far more than they have succeeding in making Trump and DeSantis pay the price of AA and DEI.

HUFFINGTON POST
— My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as having evil motives and bad judgment. Those who are hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an operative/dupe for Trump. Because of that, they did everything that they could a) to stop me from getting press credentials to cover the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) to stop me from speaking with high-profile Republicans at that event, and c) to stop me from reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were at that event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my motive for reporting who the high-profile Republican attendees were is to put them on Trump’s hit list. But wait, we will probably never know a) who decided which high-profile Republicans were invited and which ones were not invited and why, b) which high-profile Republicans who were invited wanted to attend but could not, c) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, d) which high-profile Republicans would have attended if they had been invited, but could not, e) which high-profile Republicans who were invited but did not attend because they despise/hate Trump, DeSantis, and/or all conservatives, and f) which high-profile Republicans attended to demonstrate their hatred against Trump. High-profile Republicans include past and present a) U.S. Senators, U.S. Congressmen, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, statewide elected officials and candidates for the aforesaid offices, b) Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and DuPage County township party leaders, c) Illinois, DuPage County, township, and municipal leaders and candidates for the aforesaid offices, h) major donors, i) conservative leaders, and j) religious leaders.

GAO
— Tax Gap: Modest Reductions in the Gap Could Yield Large Fiscal Benefits (COMMENT: I worked for GAO for 3 years on IRS’s efforts to reduce the tax gap.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106448
(FROM THE POSTING: According to IRS estimates, taxpayers—people and businesses—collectively pay about 85% of the total taxes they owe. The difference between what taxpayers owe and what they pay on time is known as the tax gap, which IRS estimated to be $496 billion per year for tax years 2014-2016. In this snapshot, we identify factors—such as the complexity of tax laws—that contribute to the gap. We also offer strategies to reduce it. For instance, IRS should implement a way to digitize tax returns so that its tax enforcement programs can better identify noncompliant taxpayers, such as those who underreport income. Tax law enforcement is on our High-Risk List.)

PEW RESEARCH
— More Americans now see the media’s influence growing – JEFFREY GOTTFRIED AND NAOMI FORMAN-KATZ (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media spins its anti-conservatism as being news. Ever-increasingly in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, those who rely on the mainstream news media for government and/or for political news instead reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters simply parrot what the anti-conservative mainstream news media puts out. I should write a book about that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeVore’s first case out of Effingham County secured a temporary restraining order for 866 plaintiffs. A state appellate court sided with the temporary restraining order on the grounds equal protection arguments have a likelihood of success. That ruling was followed by another temporary restraining order DeVore secured for 1,690 plaintiffs in White County and an additional batch of hundreds more plaintiffs in a second Effingham County case. Attorney Jerry Stocks for Caulkins, which secured a temporary restraining order out of Macon County, said he has a fundamental disagreement with DeVore’s approach.

I should write a book about the success that they have had in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/02/27/equity-is-not-equality-its-revenge-n2619980
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” and “white supremacy.” It’s so infuriating because “some people still want to do that” is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial “equity.” Biden just cemented the war against white racist ghosts in a sweeping new Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. It even includes a clause that embeds diversity, equity and inclusion into “Government-Wide Processes” using artificial intelligence. Yet the fight for so-called racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden’s new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a vendetta. But this is the strangest vendetta in history because it’s completely one-sided. Blacks who were never harmed by slavery take shots at a new generation of whites who had nothing to do with it. Worse, despite awful consequences, the government dares them to shoot back. “Be sitting ducks … or else.” And it’s happening years after we witnessed the ultimate symbol of racial reconciliation – the election of Barack Obama. Twice. That election would’ve been impossible without countless whites risking their lives and fortunes over two centuries to reconcile America to its “all men are created equal” ideal. In fact, today, some whites have bent so far backward that they agree that milk, math, meritocracy, and “master” bedrooms are rooted in racism; or that five black cops, beating a black man to death, in a majority black city, with a black police chief, is white supremacy, anti-black racism, and self-hatred. . .Just let go. It’s what the late Professor Walter Williams did, long before issuing his 2007 “Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent,” which also addressed the other villain of America’s race conundrum: white guilt. “I, Walter E. Williams,” it read, “do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people. “Therefore, from this day forward, Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.” When angry black liberals let go of past hatreds and guilt-stricken whites stop acting “like damn fools,” it will become crystal clear that all this equity stuff is a fake vendetta, instigated by slithery politicians and activists, against menacing white ghosts.)

We drove a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette and a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. That enabled us to have 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984.)

POLITICO
— Democrats say that longtime Trump backers flock to DeSantis event. My critics/opponents assured that Politico Illinois (SEE: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/02/21/desantis-pokes-at-pritzker-in-illinois-00083731 ) was invited to report which Republicans attended the January 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, but they did not invite GOPUSA ILLINOIS to do that. I had to request press credentials on my own. What does that say about my critics/opponents? Which Republicans were in the GOPUSA ILLINOIS list of attendees (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/february-21-2023/ ) but not in the Politico Illinois list of Republican attendees and why?

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/02/25/desantis-encroaches-further-on-trumps-turf-00084446
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The attendees included a number of prominent past supporters of Trump, our Alex Isenstadt reports this morning. Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.” The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.” Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen. MIKE LEE and 2022 Nevada Senate candidate ADAM LAXALT, a longtime DeSantis friend.” Lee was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to the Jan. 6 committee report.)

https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2023/02/25/charlie-kirk-event-in-crystal-lake-sparks-protest-shouting-match/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kirk’s address was organized by the McHenry County GOPac, a local conservative political action committee. The event was titled “EXPOSING Radicals’ War on Kids” and was advertised as a summit aimed at “rescuing children from government-run schools that are ruining America’s future. Karen Tirio, the committee’s chair, said earlier in the week that school districts play a key role both in and out of the classroom and are “failing us.” She said she didn’t feel the event was partisan and hoped those attending walk away with tools to help them engage with the system. Tirio also sits on the elected McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees. Among a list of speakers, its biggest draw was Kirk, who grew up in Prospect Heights and founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which seeks to engage young conservatives on college campuses.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The demographic profile of Stanford University’s class of 2026 is out, with 1,736 matriculated students in the freshman class of one of the world’s most prestigious universities. But as some perceptive critics were quick to notice, one key demographic is disproportionately underrepresented: While whites make up more than 50 percent of the nation’s adolescent population, per 2019 Office of Population Affairs numbers, they were only 22 percent of Stanford’s class of 2026.)

It does not look good for me because of those who could have and should have come to my defense, but did not come to my defense when the aforesaid conservative-haters ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004 and when the aforesaid conservative-haters a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. Nevertheless, I hope that the following would come to my defense: a) those Republicans who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect to offices in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois since 2000; b) the MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, and especially my representative on the IRP State Central Committee; c) conservative activists, conservative leaders, and conservative religious leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois; and d) those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

But sadly, not any more. Yes, my health is not as good now, I have less energy, and I have less motivation, but more than that, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates who lose primary elections and/or who lose general elections and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for candidate defeats. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the aforesaid who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me for candidate defeats. They do everything that they can to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters.

But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today. In my defense, I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.)

— COMMENT: According to the Illinois Freedom Caucus, “Jim Durkin’s strategy of offering voters a ‘Democrat Lite’ agenda has been a colossal failure. Our party needs bold leadership if we ever hope to get out of the super minority.” My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) want Democrat Lite. They want the IRP to officially dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They want the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump platform Republicans, that is, to officially dump the base of the Republican Party, that is, to officially destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO.

They paint us as being selfish rich DINKs, that is, Dual Income No Kids. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if we had children, had adopted, or had become foster parents, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They have blamed a) what I have done as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, b) the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I have sent out since 2000, c) what I did as the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, d) what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) what I did as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) what I did as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, f) what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and g) what I did as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. They have blamed me for losses suffered by Jim Ryan, Andy Mckenna Jr., Judy Barr Topinka, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford, Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam, Jeanne Ives, Babette Holder, Greg Hart, and many other Republican candidates. What do you say about the aforesaid? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE MTRO BY-LAWS: Section 2. Non-Partisan Elections. The MTRO may endorse candidates in non-partisan elections. The endorsement of a candidate by the MTRO shall require two-thirds (66%) of ballots cast for that race at a duly noticed meeting. All voting members are entitled to vote in all races, regardless of district boundaries. The option of “No Endorsement” shall always be placed on the ballot for each proposed endorsement and shall be counted in the total number of ballots cast. Voting shall be conducted by secret ballot. Candidates for endorsement shall be voted upon individually. An announcement that endorsement(s) will be voted upon must be given within the meeting notice prior to any meeting at which endorsement(s) will be proposed.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Chicago public safety committee demands CPD do more to unmask officers tied to far right-wing groups.” I should write a book about those who blame TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) the most for Republican defeats in Illinois. I would focus on those who destroyed TAPROOT and who destroyed ICRC. I would focus on those who continue to destroy me. I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and as an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007. I would focus those who ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

POLITICO FLORIDA
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump demonized the media. DeSantis wants to diminish them. Florida Republicans are seeking to weaken laws protecting journalists.” I should write a book about those who have blamed me and who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most since 2000 for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/23/florida-gop-desantis-proposal-sue-media-00084023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated Legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’ ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN and The Washington Post — media companies he claims are biased against Republicans — as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill. . .Andrade’s proposal incorporates many of the elements DeSantis called for during the roundtable, including: allowing plaintiffs who sue media outlets for defamation to collect attorney’s fees; adding a provision to state law specifying that comments made by anonymous sources are presumed false for the purposes of defamation lawsuits; lowering the legal threshold for a “public figure” to successfully sue for defamation; repealing the “journalist’s privilege” section of state law, which protects journalists from being compelled to do things like reveal the identity of sources in court, for defamation lawsuits.)

I would focus those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

Since 1978, to paint me as being lower class, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County have stressed that I am 100% German American; that I am Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran); that neither of my parents attended college; that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma; that my mother never attended high school; that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities; that I lived in Crete 1948-1972; that I lived in University Park full-time 1972-1974 and then part-time 1974-1976; that did yard work and delivered newspapers in Crete 1962-1964; that I washed dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966; that I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966; that delivered mail in Park Forest 1966-1969; that I worked on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere and as a security guard in DeKalb in 1970, that I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances in Chicago Heights 1970-1971, that I pumped gasoline in Chicago Heights 1971-1972, that I collected delinquent taxes in Chicagoland 1971-1980, that I audited federal agencies 1980-1997; that the Post Office, IRS, and GAO took adverse actions against me; that GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old; all the vehicles that I own are American nameplate; etc.)

MERRIAM-WEBSTER
— Turn Against
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/turn%20against

DIERSEN COMMENT: Who has had the greatest success in turning people against you? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the greatest success in turning people against me in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 1978. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would devote chapters to those who are the following who my critics/opponents have had the most success in turning against me:

— those who reject the individual responsibility plank in the Republican Party platform
— those who reject the traditional marriage/family plank
— those who reject the right to life plank
— those who reject the immigration plank
— those who reject the illegal drugs plank
— those who reject the Second Amendment plank
— those who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank
— those who paint themselves as being religious, but work against religious people
— those who paint themselves as being conservative, but work against conservatives
— those who paint themselves as being Republican, but work against Republicans
— minorities
— females
— younger people
— LGBTQers
— parents
— veterans
— non-married people
— non-Protestants
— non-German Americans
— those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time
— those who have less money than I have
— those who despise/hate union members
— those who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees
— those who despise/hate American nameplate vehicles and their owners

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money.

I would focus those who ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I would focus on those who have had far more advantages in life than I have had, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my unfairly benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-married, parents, veterans, non-union members, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, those whose ancestor have not been in America for a long time, etc.

I would focus on those who did the most to stop me from being invited to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. I would focus on how they treated me at that event.

I would especially focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect, but who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

I would especially focus on the aforesaid who are currently taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Supreme Court Seems Wary of Limiting Protections for Social Media Platforms. The case, concerning a law that gives websites immunity for suits based on their users’ posts, has the potential to alter the very structure of the internet.” My critics/opponents are beyond furious that Section 230 limits their ability to sue me. Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, they blamed me for what I did as a) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/us/google-supreme-court-youtube.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal law at issue in the case, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, shields online platforms from lawsuits over what their users post and the platforms’ decisions to take content down. Limiting the sweep of the law could expose the platforms to lawsuits claiming they had steered people to posts and videos that promote extremism, advocate violence, harm reputations and cause emotional distress.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: DeSantis, a veteran and Ivy League graduate, has been a popular figure on the right and has drawn criticism for his style by some on the left. The governor has been seen by some Republicans as a new path forward for the party after President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “GOP Mega-Donor and Ex-Trump Ambassador Don Tapia Endorses DeSantis: Don’t Like the Name-Calling.” How do Trump-supporters and Trump-haters view not only my reporting on who attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event, but my including or not including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to articles that concern Trump and/or DeSantis?
https://www.mediaite.com/politics/gop-mega-donor-and-ex-trump-ambassador-endorses-desantis-dont-like-the-name-calling/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote on Tuesday that DeSantis’s event will “be scrutinized for which donors attend — including how many of them were once Trump backers who may be looking to defect from the former president to the Florida governor.” Isenstadt noted that DeSantis is currently making all the standard moves a candidate makes before jumping into a presidential race. The governor is about to release a book and is traveling the country to raise his national profile. Additionally, DeSantis has already won over many former Trump donors.)

MERRIAM WEBSTER
— Invitation (COMMENT: One could argue that because the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event was an “invitation-only” event, the following should be fully disclosed: a) who determined who was invited to attend and who was not invited to attend and why, b) which past and present Republican elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. who were invited did not attend and why, and c) who determined which reporters were invited to report on the event and who were not invited to report on the event and why. Since 2000, as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have reported on who attended many such events in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that no one should want to be listed in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter as having attended an event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are listed, that information will be viciously used against you. Immediately after my critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service, and my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, they deleted all my reports on who had attended TAPROOT, MTRO, and ICRC events. Do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am an operative/dupe for Trump and b) that Trump will destroy not only DeSantis, LaHood, and Hires, but that Trump will destroy each and every person that I listed as having attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. Further, do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if you attended the event, you are not only not afraid of Trump, but that you are a Trump-hater.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fired his first shot at The College Board when he rejected an advanced placement African American studies course, saying it pushes a political agenda. Now, it seems he was just getting started. Top state officials have reportedly been meeting the founder of a college entrance exam called the Classic Learning Test, considered an “alternative” to The College Board’s SAT. . .Tate said the SAT has become “increasingly ideological.” He blamed test writers who “censored the entire Christian-Catholic intellectual tradition” and other “thinkers in the history of Western thought.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She (Haley) suggested to an audience of about 200 that gender education need not begin in schools before middle school, marking a contrast with prospective candidate Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor last year signed legislation forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before fourth grade. . .Though several would-be candidates including Trump were in Iowa last year campaigning for midterm candidates, these first impressions at the outset of the GOP presidential primary are important. That’s especially true as many in the GOP wait to see whether DeSantis proceeds with a White House bid.)

— Journalist (COMMENT: I am a conservative Republican journalist. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I have always fully disclosed that. What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) who treat me like I am not a journalist for their own purposes, b) who treat me like I am a journalist for their own purposes, and/or c) who hint/imply/argue/shout that you cannot be a journalist if you are conservative or Republican? I should write a book about that. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

E RELEASES
— Media advisory (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I did not get a media advisory for the “invitation only” Elmhurst DeSantis event until after I requested one from the DeSantis campaign. I should write a book about those involved in the event who know me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters very well and who could have and who should have assured that I got a media advisory, but who failed/refused to do so. I would focus on how they treated me at the event. I would focus on those who treated me like they did not want me there. I would focus on those who treated me like I was not a member of the news media. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) discourage/stop me from speaking with attendees and b) discouraged/stopped me from speaking with attendees. I would focus on how they have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect in my role as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I would focus on those who curry favor with the Democrat news media by failing/refusing to send me media advisories. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I promote an event, the more protesters show up. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who not only reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, but promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.ereleases.com/pr-fuel/press-release-vs-media-advisory/
(FROM THE POSTING: A media advisory alerts the media, in a concise manner, to upcoming events (like a press conference). Think of it like an invitation that answers only the important questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. . .The purpose of a media advisory is to announce an upcoming event they may want to attend or cover, such as a press conference, forum, rally, or event to convince them it is worth reporting on. It should be issued 3-5 days in advance of that event. The goal of a media advisory is to give them the information they need to determine whether that event is worth their time to attend, cover, or report on and to convince them to do so.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs have candidates win nonpartisan elections and general elections who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigrations, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “The top 10 Democratic presidential candidates for 2024.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/19/top-democrats-2024-ranked/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker Few on this list would seem to be telegraphing their presidential desires — at least in a race without Biden — as strongly as the Illinois governor. His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)

Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

WFIN

https://wfin.com/fox-political-news/tim-scotts-massive-war-chest-could-give-him-head-start-in-2024-presidential-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

— The U.S. Navy lowers its standards yet again – Andrea Widburg (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who ran the federal government in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Haley Walks Treacherous Road for G.O.P. Women. Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign is a major test of her party’s views on sexism and female leaders. Just don’t call it identity politics.” I should write a book about Republicans who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Do Law Schools Need the LSAT?” Ever-increasingly, because Democrat minorities and Democrat females do poorly on tests, testing requirements have been eased if not dropped. GAO, IRS, and the Post Office hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 respectively because they could not find qualified Democrat minorities or females who would take the jobs. I qualified myself for my GAO job a) by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) by earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and c) by working for IRS for almost 9 years. I qualified myself for my IRS job a) by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination, b) by earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, and c) by working for Firestone Stores for 10 months. I qualified myself for my Post Office job a) by passing the Post Office employment examination, b) by earning a high school diploma, and c) by having a clean driving record for 2 years.

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Nikki Haley removed the Confederate flag. She sounds different as a candidate.

I would focus on those who after they got elected promoted a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) patronage, h) political affiliation discrimination, i) reverse discrimination, and/or j) age discrimination.

NPR
— COMMENT: Democrats acknowledge that “Many voters think Biden is too old for a second term” but say “The White House isn’t worried.” Who has deemed you to be too old to do what? My Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to be too old to be promoted again, and therefore, to be “failed,” if they did not make GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($152,527) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. In that book, I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40. I earned a) $92,279/year (GS-12 Step 1) in today’s dollars when I was 25, b) $104,583/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I was 30 and 35, and c) $117,047/year (GS-13 Step 3) when I was 40. I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being “failed” and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.
