— Chicago’s minimum wage to increase Monday. Here’s a breakdown of the changes. Since increasing to $15 in 2021, the hourly minimum wage increases annually according to changes in the Consumer Price Index or at a rate of 2.5%, whichever is lower, according to Mayor Johnson’s office. (COMMENT: Have you ever worked for the minimum wage? I earned the minimum wage 1964-1966 washing dishes after school, Saturdays, and full-time during the summer of 1965. In today’s dollars, I earned $12.08/hour. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966. I used that car to commute to/from classes at UIC and my parents’ home in Crete. If I had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars back then, I might have worked fewer hours, studied more, gotten better grades, gotten a better ACT score, and graduated with a higher class ranking. Then again, I might have bought a loaded 1966 GTO that I might still own today.)

Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should have by now posted on its website:
a) the names of the two other members of the IRP chairman search committee,
b) the selection process that the committee will use,
c) the qualifications that applicants must have,
d) the requirements that applicants must meet, and
e) the application filing deadline.
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should then post on its website:
a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) a Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.

— Trump campaign memo signals plans to reduce the national GOP platform. The memo said the new platform would reflect Trump’s political stances.. – Isabella Murray (COMMENT: My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have always ever-increasingly wanted the Republican Party to officially dump the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform. That is, they have always ever-increasingly wanted to dump conservatives. That is, they have always ever-increasingly wanted to destroy the Republican Party.)
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-campaign-memo-signals-plans-reduce-national-gop/story?id=111547663
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s top advisers are planning to overhaul and shorten the Republican Party’s platform so that it will be “in line” with the former president’s “vision for America’s future,” according to a memo sent to the party’s platform committee that was obtained by ABC News. The memo comes as some more socially conservative RNC members — along with some anti-abortion groups — have expressed concern that the platform this cycle might adopt Trump’s stance on reproductive rights, which would lift the call for a 20-week federal abortion ban that is part of the current platform’s language. Trump has been clear about his opposition to a federal ban and his preference for this issue to be left up to the states. This memo did not specifically mention abortion or reproductive rights but doubled down on the notion that the new platform will reflect Trump’s political stances. “For decades, Republicans have published textbook-long platforms that are scrutinized and intentionally misrepresented by our political opponents. The mainstream media uses their bully pulpit to perpetuate lies and misrepresentations, and the voters are often left believing we stand for something different than we actually do,” the memo, sent by Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, says. The RNC’s 2016 platform, which was approved again in 2020 – both times with Trump at the helm of the party – is over 60 pages long. “Publishing an unnecessarily verbose treatise will provide more fuel for our opponent’s fire of misinformation and misrepresentation to voters. It is with that recognition that we will present a streamlined platform in line with President Trump’s principled and popular vision for America’s future,” the memo states. The memo was sent to Platform Committee members on Thursday. The committee begins convening in Milwaukee on the evening of July 7, and has meetings scheduled on July 8 and 9, ahead of the RNC’s convention. Draft language for a new platform has not yet been circulated to most Platform Committee members or general RNC members yet, according to several people with the process, though a number of conversations and lobbying on the issues with Trump allies have been ongoing among leaders of key advocacy groups and with some individuals. “The talk of changing the Republican party’s pro-life platform is deeply concerning for pro-life Americans across the country. There has only been one party that is the defender of life, and if Republicans back away from this fight, there will be no one to carry on this battle,” said Tim Chapman, the incoming president of former Vice President Mike Pence’s nonprofit political advocacy group. “Our expectation is that the GOP platform will continue to unequivocally call for national protections for unborn children, rooted in the 14th Amendment. Watering down the GOP platform’s stance on life would entail an abandonment of its defense of the human dignity of all people,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said in a statement to ABC News.)

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/29/politics/trump-campaign-gop-platform/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Top advisers to Donald Trump are plotting an overhaul of the Republican Party platform that will dramatically slash its size and refocus the GOP around the former president’s agenda for a second term. A memo from Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles dated Thursday criticized past platforms as too long and too heavily influenced by special interests and outside groups. A “clear, concise and easily digestible” platform will be easier for voters to understand and harder for political opponents to attack, they wrote. “Publishing an unnecessarily verbose treatise will provide more fuel for our opponent’s fire of misinformation and misrepresentation to voters,” the memo said. “It is with that recognition that we will present a streamlined platform in line with President Trump’s principled and popular vision for America’s future.” The memo, obtained Saturday by CNN, was first reported by The New York Times. The party’s most recent platform, crafted in 2016 and reapproved in 2020, spans 66 pages. A person familiar with the planning said the goal for the upcoming platform is a concise document that is “a couple dozen pages,” written in clearer language and likely reflecting Trump’s top priorities. That person went on to say that when platform committees convened ahead of previous conventions, their meetings were attended by lobbyists and special interest groups trying to insert specific line items for their clients into the party platform. LaCivita and Wiles wrote they want a platform that will “free our Party from the constraints of Washington jargon and the shackles of lobbyist influence.” The memo comes amid intensifying anxiety from conservative groups over the direction of the platform ahead of next month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. There is especially concern among anti-abortion groups that Thursday’s memo is signaling Trump intends to remove the platform’s long-standing commitment to a federal abortion ban and an amendment to the US Constitution giving the unborn the same rights as people. “The party is fully united, and taking out the pro-life language risks dividing the party,” said one Trump ally who is deeply involved in the anti-abortion movement and is aware of the memo from LaCivita and Wiles. The existing platform also lays out the party’s opposition to same-sex marriage and new gun restrictions. It embraces changes to Medicare and Social Security for people under 55 — some of which has become fodder for Democratic messaging in recent election cycles. Trump’s campaign is especially aware of how Democrats have weaponized the GOP platform in the past and is seeking to avoid a lengthy document full of potential landmines for the former president to navigate. “The platform is an opportunity to make our vision clear, and to lay out a framework for policy making, while rejecting any special interest influence that seeks to make public policy stray from our clear and straightforward objectives,” LaCivita and Wiles wrote. But by laying down markers in advance of next month’s convention, Trump’s campaign is further asserting his dominance over a party more fully in his control. Already, Trump this year has ousted the party’s previous chair, Ronna McDaniel, and installed close allies atop the GOP — his daughter-in-law Lara Trump and North Carolina GOP leader Michael Whatley. The platform committee, meanwhile, will be led by three close allies: Randy Evans, Trump’s former ambassador to Luxembourg; Russell Vought, a top official in the Trump administration; and Ed Martin, president of the right-wing interest group the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and author of the 2016 book “The Conservative Case for Trump.” That committee will meet behind closed doors ahead of the convention, which begins July 15. Unlike in previous years, its deliberations will not be broadcast by C-SPAN, a source confirmed.)
— The 14th Amendment has been used to dismantle race-based programs. Historians say there are clashing interpretations. – Nicquel Terry Ellis (COMMENT: My critics/opponents reject the 14th Amendment. They ever-increasingly want more and more and more race and gender based preference giving.)
https://www.kake.com/story/50969201/the-14th-amendment-has-been-used-to-dismantle-race-based-programs-historians-say-there-are-clashing-interpretations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Supreme Court’s decision to gut affirmative action in college admissions one year ago has opened the door for numerous legal challenges against race-based grant programs, internships and scholarships across the country. Many of those lawsuits are being filed by conservative groups who insist that it’s unconstitutional to design and operate a program exclusively for a certain racial group. They argue that the programs particularly disadvantage White and Asian Americans, by preventing them from obtaining the jobs, funding or opportunities that these programs offer to other racial groups. Some lawsuits invoke the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment which was ratified after slavery was abolished and says no state may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The amendment was notably cited in Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in the landmark affirmative action ruling, who described it as a “crowning accomplishment” of Congress. Thomas argued that the 14th Amendment “ensures racial equality with no textual reference to race whatsoever.”)

In his defense, he fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. He was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school. His doctors discouraged him from going to college because of the stress that causes. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

— It Has Never Been Harder, or More Essential, to Have a Work Best Friend. – Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling (COMMENT: While I was an employee 1964-1997, I had few work friends because I have always been a Republican and virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats. Further, few of them shared my interests, my conservatism, my religion (Protestant), and/or my national origin (German.) Further, while many, most, and at times virtually all of them were veterans, while I was a draft avoider. Further, virtually none of them did what I did. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970. I earned 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. Further, virtually none of them had spouses who had good-paying jobs. Further, virtually all of them had health, financial, and/or other problems. Consequently, when my Democrat superiors took big adverse actions against, none of them came to my defense.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: IL Republican Party Responds to President Trump’s Debate Win. CHICAGO — Following President Trump’s resounding debate win tonight in Atlanta, newly elected RNC Committeeman for Illinois Dean White responded on behalf of the Illinois Republican Party with the following statement. “The difference between President Biden’s performance and the strong, definitive performance of President Trump could not be more clear. President Trump displayed why we need his leadership in the White House: to bring down the cost of living for American families, to close Joe Biden’s open border, and to give Americans confidence that we are leading from the front instead of covering for an out-of-touch career politician. There is a reason President Trump is leading in the polls across the country – the voters know he is the leader this country needs and it’s why he’ll win in November.”

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump won the Republican Party primary. If elected, he can and he will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. It is time for Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, and precinct committeemen/captains who fail/refuse to help elect Trump to step down and to be replaced by those who can and will help elect Trump. Trump may not win Illinois, but the more votes that Trump gets, the less of a mandate that Democrats get. I have always helped elect in general elections those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who won primary elections, including those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QESTION: What are the real reasons why people who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican reject Trump? ANSWER: They reject planks in the Republican Party platform that Trump defends and advances including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They despise/hate his demographics including his being heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, draft avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and/or his ancestors having been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— Who is going to be the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should have by now posted on its website:
a) the names of the two other members of the IRP chairman search committee,
b) the selection process that the committee will use,
c) the qualifications that applicants must have,
d) the requirements that applicants must meet, and
e) the application filing deadline.
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should then post on its website:
a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) the Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.

— Biden, Trump’s age and fitness in focus in early debate faceoff (COMMENT: What are Biden’s and Trump’s positions on “up-or-out?” My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used “up-or-out” to waste my career and to get rid of me. They wrote me off as being “too old” because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by the time I was 25 years old. That rendered worthless a) my MBA that I earned when I was 27, b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) my master’s degree in accounting that I earned when I was 31, d) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and becoming a licensed CPA when I was 32, e) my job-related professional certifications that I earned when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, and f) my master’s degree in financial markets and trading that I earned when I was 48. They would not have wasted my career and gotten rid of me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

— Trump Campaign Releases Five ‘Biden Lies’ on Border – James Morley III
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-joe-biden-lies/2024/06/27/id/1170428/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Trump campaign, the first Biden border lie is that the border is “secure.” Using data from both the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Drug Enforcement Agency, the campaign dismantles each of Biden’s immigration talking points. “The fact is the border was never secure under Biden. In fact, the floodgates opened almost immediately after Biden took office. Now, suspected terrorists are flooding across in record numbers as at least ten million illegals, tons and tons of fentanyl, and criminals from all over the world cross into the country — and American citizens are raped and murdered by illegals with no right to be here,” the campaign states. The next “lie” is the oft-repeated phrase from Biden that the “only reason the border is not secure” is because of Trump and Republicans. The campaign notes how Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle Trump’s previous border policy. “Lie” number three from the Biden campaign is that a border crisis “happens every single year.” The Trump team notes that since President Biden took office almost 7 million illegals have entered the U.S. The fourth of Biden’s “lies” according to the Trump campaign is that the Administration is “working to make sure the border is safe, orderly and humane.” Trump’s team notes that the open border facilitated by Biden has “has emboldened drug cartels and human traffickers to take advantage of the lax enforcement — at the expense of desperate migrants. The situation is particularly devastating for unaccompanied migrant children, tens of thousands of whom have been LOST by the incompetent Biden administration.” The final Biden border “lie” noted by the Trump campaign is that Biden likes to say “I’ve done all I can do” when it comes to securing the border. Trump’s team responds by noting that “Biden has repeated this lie again and again, even after he blocked comprehensive border security legislation passed by House Republicans.”)

— Millions of Taxpayers Call the IRS for Help. Two-Thirds Don’t Reach Anyone. The agency hired nearly 7,000 new customer-service representatives, but its internal watchdog group says it still falls short. – Ashlea Ebeling (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the CentiPhone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the draft.)

They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. They were beyond furious when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS 1986-1988.)

— DuPage County auditor’s office requests help after nearly four years of dysfunction – GEORGE WIEBE (COMMENT: I have watched the DuPage County Auditor’s office for 38 years, since 1986 when I was a GAO Analyst and the membership director of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter. I had served its Treasurer 1983-1986. I had worked for GAO for 6 years. I had become a Certified Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980. I worked hard as AGA Chicago Chapter’s membership director 1986-1996 to recruit DuPage County auditor office professional employees to join AGA. I worked hard to elect Jim Rasins County Auditor in 2000 and 2004. I worked hard to elect Bob Grogan County Auditor in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Of course, I am working hard to elect Grogan this year. Grogan’s deputy was Peter Balgemann who is one of my relatives.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/25/dupage-county-auditors-office-requests-help-after-nearly-four-years-of-dysfunction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For nearly four years, the DuPage County Auditor’s office has not provided a quarterly financial report, a detailed accounting of the county government’s revenues, appropriations, expenditures, and encumbrances. The reports, which are mandated by the State of Illinois, came to a halt shortly after a razor thin election in 2020, in which the current auditor Bill White won by a 75-vote margin, later reduced to 58 votes following a recount against Bob Grogan. Not long after the election, several key staff members from the auditor’s office resigned. “We had a king-sized bed of obligations and a queen-sized sheet of resources,” White said during Tuesday’s county board meeting. “Our target is to complete the quarterly reports by the end of July, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way, the manual way.” The auditor’s office was offered additional staff, according to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, but the real hindrance was technology. Going forward the auditor’s office is requesting additional software to help automate the reporting process, White said. But some county board members were left questioning why it has taken so long to get up to speed. “If you needed help why didn’t you come to the board … four years without quarterly reports, it is unacceptable,” District 5 Commissioner Dawn DeSart said during the meeting. Every year the county receives an external audit report from the Chicago-based accounting firm Baker Tilly, however, these reports lack the detailed examination expected from the auditor’s office. “The internal audit looks way more into the minuscule, detailed items, plus the external auditor does not detect fraud … this is where our internal auditor comes in,” District 1 Commissioner Cindy Cahill said during Tuesday’s meeting. Also delayed is the auditor’s report on the county clerk’s office, which came under the scrutiny of the board and DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, after $224,000 in invoices submitted for purchases were not properly approved or made without going through a bidding process. The report cannot be publicly released until the clerk’s office receives and has a chance to reply to its contents, according to White. The clerk’s office will have a week to respond, White said. “We need it done, the people of DuPage need it done, this is what you’re elected to do and frankly there’s no excuse,” Cahill said.)

FORBES
— Expert Advice For Job Seekers In 2024 – Caroline Castrillon (COMMENT: What frustrated your job searches? For me, it was my high school GPA and ACT score not being that great, my not getting any scholarships, my avoiding the draft, my being a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, my not having an Ivy League degree, my UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT GPAs not being that great, my not earning an MBA until I was 27, my not passing CPA examination until I was 30, my bad demographics, the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors took against me, my complaining about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988, and my suing my GAO superiors for political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and retaliation in 1998.

— Meet the new National Treasury Employees Union president. She spent 20 years as a revenue officer at the IRS. Then she went into union work, serving for 14 years as president of a local in Wisconsin. – Tom Temin (COMMENT: NTEU came to my defense big time when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. But NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors failed/refused to promote me after 1974 even though I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. Further, NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education expenses in 1978. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I ever-increasingly did what rank and file NTEU members did not do. I earned a job-related master’s degrees and professional certification.)

— Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media exists to elect Democrats by promoting the Democrat Party platform, that is, by promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

— When is the last time that the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct spoken out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? – Dave Diersen

— Demographics are ever-increasingly everything. Ever-increasingly, your demographics determine how everyone treats you, that is, ever-increasingly, your demographics determine your future. Ever-increasingly, everyone dumps those who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I was born in 1948 and even though neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and my IRS superiors wrote me off as being too old to be promoted again in 1974 when I was 25 years old, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. If I was born today, because of my demographics, I would not be able to do the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats ever-increasingly dominate Chicagoland. Based on your career, what career advice do you give? Based on my career 1964-1997 working for Chicagoland Democrats, my advice is to leave Chicagoland if you are a Republican, and especially if you are a Republican who is heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Because I have the aforesaid demographics, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, my Democrat IRS, Firestone Store, and Post Office superiors wasted my career. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969. They wasted what I learned a) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) earning job related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. – Dave Diersen

— For the first time ever, Gen X workers saw their 401(k) balances top those of baby boomers, Fidelity data showed. Balances for Gen X workers who have been saving for 15 years averaged $543,400, or $200 more than boomers’, according to the financial service firm’s analysis of its more than 22 million accounts in the first three months of the year. Gen X, born between 1965 and 1980, is the next generation to retire behind the boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964 and are retiring now. – Medora Lee (COMMENT: My Civil Service Retirement System pension, my Social Security, and my retirement savings are all dramatically less because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career, forced me to resign in 1969, and forced me to retire early in 1997.)

June 24, 2024
Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Who do you want the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman to be and why? What education, work experience, and political, fundraising, professional, financial, etc. accomplishments do you want that person to have? What proof do you want that shows that person has defended and advanced and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks? I should write a book about what past IRP chairmen have done to defend and advance the aforesaid planks. It would be an extremely thin book. Obviously, the next IRP chairman cannot have any skeletons in his/her closets and has to be in a position to spend lots of their time and money to make the IRP successful, that is, to elect Republican candidates who can and will defend the Republican Party platform. The IRP has to dump its “Democrat Lite” policy of attracting independent voters by dumping conservative voters. All Republicans should promote the Republican Party platform.

If I had gotten a student-loan, my GPA at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 would have been much higher because I spent far too many hours working all the part-time hours for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 instead of studying.

e) the application filing deadline.
Illinois Republicans anxiously await the IRP to then issue press releases that give:
a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) the Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.
In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized an applicant forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP SCC elected Andy McKenna as IRP’s chairman. The participants in that forum were John Cox, Stephen McGlynn, McKenna, and Jim Nalepa. Jim Oberweis wanted to participate, but could not.
In 2013, I attended the IRP SCC meeting in Springfield at which IRP chairman applicants gave five minute presentations on why they should be the next IRP chairman. Jack Dorgan was selected. The other applicants were Angel Garcia, Jim Nalepa, Mark Shaw, Don Tracy, Joe Walsh, and Lori Yokoyama.
Richard Williamson was the IRP chairman 1999–2001, Lee Daniels 2001–2002, Dallas Ingemunson 2002 (interim), Gary MacDougal, 2002–2002, Judy Baar Topinka 2002–2005, Andrew McKenna 2005–2009, Pat Brady 2009–2013, Jack Dorgan 2013–2014, Tim Schneider 2014–2021; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman 2018–2024, and Don Tracy 2021–present.
Why is the Illinois Democrat Party (IDP) as successful as the IRP is unsuccessful, that is, what distinguishes IDP leaders from IRP leaders? ANSWER: IDP leaders believe in and defend/advance all the planks in the Democrat Party platform while IRP leaders reject or fail/refuse to defend/advance many planks, if not most planks, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Far too many of them paint themselves as being Democrat Lite and are Democrat Lite. The aforesaid is a direct result of IDP SCC members being directly elected by Democrats while IRP SCC members are not directly elected by Republicans. I should write a book about IRP leaders since 2000 and the planks in the Republican Party platform that they have rejected or failed/refused to defend/advance.

But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 in 1967 and it was a bottom of the line 6-cylinder 2-door Chevrolet. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and I.)
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/23/upshot/male-kindergarten-teachers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Boys are falling behind in school. They are less likely than girls to be ready for kindergarten. They read at lower levels. They graduate from high school at lower rates. This gender gap in education has significantly widened just in the last generation. One group is uniquely positioned to help put boys on the right track in their first year of formal schooling: men who teach kindergarten. Yet only around 3 percent of kindergarten teachers are men. Many studies show that older boys benefit from having male teachers. There hasn’t been as much research on the youngest students and their teachers — in large part because there are so few male teachers in early education to begin with. Still, it stands to reason that men who teach kindergarten can make a difference for boys, said Thomas S. Dee, a Stanford professor who has for decades researched the effect of teacher demographics on students.)

Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois? Conservative leaders a) should write articles monthly/weekly/daily that promote planks in the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, b) should post those articles on their websites, and c) should include diersen@aol.com on their email lists. Conservative leaders should help elect Republican candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. In addition to being good writers, conservative leaders should be good public speakers, should have demonstrated leadership skills, should have relevant education, work experience, and other accomplishments, should have the necessary time and money, and should have no skeletons in their closets.
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters glorify and praise Tracy and use his resignation to demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans. I was not a member of any team organized to oust Tracy, Kolber, or Shaw. I did use my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters to advocate for the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. I agree with my critics/opponents who blast me as not being a team player, that is, as being someone who they cannot manipulate or dominate. I am not an operative or dupe for anyone. No one can tell me what to do.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— (6/20/24) Don Tracy Ally Jeanne Ives Attacks Grassroots, IR, Trump Jr. Event, and now Setting Sights on IL GOP Chairmanship (COMMENT: What does Ives think of you? How has she treated you? I should write a book about how Ives has treated me since 2002.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/06/don-tracy-ally-jeanne-ives-attacks-grassroots-ir-trump-jr-event-and-now-setting-sights-on-il-gop-chairmanship.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ever since news broke that embattled Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy was resigning effective July 19th, Illinois GOP state central committee member Jeanne Ives has been working the phones trying to gauge support as she considers a potential run for the party’s top spot – despite spending the last two years angering the very base that made her, and was instrumental in Tracy’s decision to resign. In December of 2022, Ives stunned a room full of over 200 grassroots activists during a SSC meeting when she defended then IL GOP Finance Chairman Vince Kolber, who had just insulted the grassroots for not donating money to the state party – yelling – in an almost out of body experience that, “Vince is not your problem! This man gave me $750,000 when I ran against Gov. Bruce Rauner!” Just months before challenging Gov. Rauner in the GOP primary, Ives was seen smiling for a photo with her soon-to-be Republican political opponent. Rauner – bruised and damaged during a vicious primary against Ives, would lose his re-election to political newcomer JB Pritzker by 16 points – just two years before the pandemic and Gov. Pritzker’s shutdown orders and mask mandates. Last September, Ives endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president during the 2024 presidential primary, despite the wildly popular former president Donald Trump leading in the polls among Republicans over his political opponents, including DeSantis by over 30 points. And when Ives learned that the president’s son – Donald Trump Jr. was coming to Illinois to promote Letters to Trump last October, her team made requests to interview Trump Jr. on her radio show, and to speak on stage during the event. When the requests were turned down, and this publication accurately reported about it, she became angry – and went on Facebook attacking the event featuring Trump Jr. and falsely alleged that the hosts couldn’t sell tickets. And since that time, her popularity has been in decline, and her radio show, which is streamed live on Facebook, receives very little engagement. On May 26th, her 2-hour show received only five likes and two shares. But that has since changed because after this publication reported on it, Ives is now paying to boost her posts to make it appear as if her Facebook posts are more popular than they really are. In other words, she’s now paying for likes and comments. And over the last two years, Ives continues to trash this publication – the leading conservative news publication in the state. In an interview with Crain’s Chicago Business in April of 2023, Ives offered a stunning on-the-record quote when asked to comment about IR, stating, “I don’t read their garbage.” Sources also confirm to IR that during that same time frame last Spring, Ives proposed in a private meeting that the SSC ban this publication, including then publisher Scott Kaspar and editor-in-chief Mark Vargas from attending all future IL GOP meetings. The proposal was immediately shot down and the discussion shifted to another topic. Censoring media outlets is typical in third world countries ruled by dictators – and for Ives to suggest that the state party censor the leading conservative news publication in Illinois because she is bothered by the facts is alarming. In Russia, President Vladamir Putin signed into law legislation that criminalizes news publications from reporting on anything that contradicts, or is critical of his administration. In China, a country that leads the world in jailing reporters, there are an estimated 274 journalists currently in prison for reporting on stories that angered the ruling Communist political party – and citizen journalist Zhang Zahn sits in a Chinese prison for her reporting the facts during the pandemic. And in Iran, there are 41 journalists in prison for writing stories that exposed the corruption of Iranian authorities. Ever since her election to the Republican State Central Committee in 2022, Ives has abandoned her grassroots base for the IL GOP elites – becoming part of the establishment instead of opposing it. And never one to shy away from controversy, the former grassroots activist has never called on Don Tracy to resign – despite her base advocating for it. She never called on Kolber – who votes in Wisconsin and Illinois as a full time resident of both states simultaneously – to apologize for saying such offensive remarks to the grassroots during the SSC meeting in December of 2022. She never called on former Chicago GOP Chairman Steve Boulton to walk back his recently discovered Facebook comment in 2015 when he compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. And she never called out former SSC member Mark Shaw, who faked a delegate badge and threatened to beat up a fellow state central committee member during the IL GOP state convention last month – and demanded that he resign. In fact, during the state convention, Ives cut a deal and backed Shaw for national committeeman over the grassroots-backed candidate Dean White. And in early June, when the grassroots sent her emails about investigating Shaw’s behavior, Ives angrily posted a comment on her Facebook page, writing, “canned emails get a canned response.” The comment drew an immediate backlash as Republicans fired back calling Ives’ comment “ignorant” and “belittling” to the constituents she’s supposed to represent. While Ives is busy making phone calls trying to gauge support for a potential run at party chairwoman, sources have shared with this publication that she has very little support from SSC members – and that her elevation to state party chair is more than a long shot – it’s an impossibility. An IL GOP Search Committee will work to identify the new chair or co-chair following Tracy’s shock resignation late on Wednesday.)

— Trump dwarfs Biden in latest fundraising numbers in show of political force after felony conviction. – AP (COMMENT: Who has taken adverse actions against you? What have those adverse actions motivated you to do? My Democrat superiors took many big adverse actions against me. That motivated me a) to earn a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) to earn job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) to earn job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1977, and d) to earn a job-related professional license in 1981. The aforesaid enabled me a) to get promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, and 1974, b) to get promoted by GAO in 1986, and c) to survive as a GAO employee until 1997. In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $150,075/year. Since 2000, anti-conservative leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have taken many big adverse actions against me. Those adverse actions continue to motivate me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to serve as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. Those adverse actions motivated me to survive as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors member 2001-2004.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTOS OF TRACY AND DEL MAR: Republican Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate, hopes to lead the state party. – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240620/illinois-state-politics/state-gop-chair-walking-away-blames-republican-backstabbing-friction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy’s Wednesday resignation bombshell, blaming infighting in the ranks, leaves a leadership gap that could be filled by a suburban contender. Palatine Republican and former lieutenant governor candidate Aaron Del Mar announced Thursday he will seek the chairman’s job. “Moving forward, if my peers believe in me and give me the opportunity to lead this party, the Democrats better be ready. I’m no milquetoast,” said Del Mar, a State Central Committee member. . .Other names that have surfaced as chair are state Sen. Jason Plummer of Edwardsville, who could not be reached for comment, and former Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. Ives said Thursday she would not seek the position and disagreed with contentions the party was in disarray. “At the state central party level, we’re all in agreement about what we need to do to beat the Democrats,” said Ives, a former state representative and a State Central Committee member. “We’re here to be the opposition party to their policy prescriptions that have destroyed … the working-class opportunities in this state.” . . . Tracy appointed State Central Committee member Jan Weber to lead the search for a replacement. That person “needs to be a unifier of all Republicans for the good of the party otherwise we will stay in a super minority position for a long time to come,” Republican state Rep. Bradley Stephens of Rosemont said.)

Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party has ever-increasingly moved more and more and more to the left, that is, it has rejected more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/06/20/illinois-republican-party-chairman-don-tracy-resigns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vanquished 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey — a former state senator and zealous Trump supporter who appealed directly to the grassroots movement — celebrated Tracy’s departure in a social media post, saying that the “cleansing of the Republican Party continues.” “The problem that Don, Mark, and many others simply don’t comprehend and refuse to understand is that they simply are failing to uphold the party platform. They believe that supporting liberal candidates who will work closely with Democrats is the answer. It’s not!” Bailey said. “Fake Republicans got us into this mess. Real Republicans standing firm will get us out!”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/20/will-county-board-members-question-vote-on-pride-month-resolution/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I would like to know where’s the representation for the traditional family,” said Julie Berkowicz, a Republican from Naperville, who was one of two Republicans questioning why the board was voting on the Pride proclamation. “We should support the freedoms of every individual no matter who they say they are,” Berkowicz said. “This type of resolution does not belong here. It has nothing to do with county government. … I’m not saying I’m against it, but I’m saying we need to focus on doing our business.” Berkowicz was one of 16 board members who voted in support of the Pride Month proclamation. Dan Butler, a Republican from Frankfort, cast the board’s sole no vote against the proclamation, saying he doesn’t feel the county board meeting is the forum for it. “I think we got way too many proclamations,” Butler said. “Whatever people want to do, live their lives the way they want to live it, I’m fine with that. I don’t agree that the government should be making proclamations about people’s sexuality. It just doesn’t seem like the place.”)

Stam (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government (1966-1969 and 1971-1997) ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action and DEI to waste the careers of and to replace their Republican employers who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time with their Democrat employees who were lesser-qualified, liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related 1970 bachelor’s degree, b) my job-related 1976, 1980, and 1997 master’s degrees, c) my job related 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 professional certifications, and d) my job-related 1981 professional license.)
