DAILY HERALD
— New Illinois, an organization that wants to create a state separate from Chicago and urban Cook County, drew about 60 people to a meeting Saturday at the Palatine Township Republican Organization office. Illinois counties that are run by Democrats are completely different from Illinois counties that are run by Republicans. Sooner or later, Illinois counties that are run by Democrats promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ (the destruction of traditional marriage and family), abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, prostitution, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about the Democrat invasion, infiltration, infestation, conquering, and inevitable destruction of DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, and my precinct.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Any separation would have to be passed by the Illinois General Assembly as well as by the United States Congress. The last successful separation measure was the split of West Virginia from Virginia. West Virginia arrived at statehood in 1863 but its final composition wasn’t determined until an 1871 Supreme Court ruling.)
— GOP balks at approving even a fraction of Musk’s DOGE cuts. During the 1980s and 1990s, RINO senators and RINO representatives did not balk at Gingrich’s GAO budget cuts. The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich’s budget cuts to get rid of the agency’s remaining Republican employees including me. If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE.

— Mexico’s president says she rejected Trump’s plan to send US troops across the border. Constructively, Mexico had declared war on America. FROM GOOGLE AI: The US military maintains a significant global presence with thousands of troops and hundreds of bases across nearly every continent. While the exact number of bases is difficult to determine due to varying classifications and ongoing changes, estimates range from 750 to over 900. The US has the largest number of overseas military bases compared to any other country, accounting for roughly 75-85% of the total. Key Locations and Troop Distribution: Japan, Germany, and South Korea: These countries host the largest number of US military bases and troops. Japan alone has over 50,000 US troops. Middle East: The US maintains a considerable military presence in the Middle East, with forces in numerous countries and on ships in the region’s waters, particularly in response to threats from Iran and its affiliated groups. Europe: The US has a significant military presence in Europe, particularly in countries like Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, with many bases being NATO interoperable.

— Which Republican candidates are going to walk in Wheaton’s 2025 Independence Day parade? There will be a U.S Senate office, five Illinois statewide offices, and five DuPage countywide offices on the November 3, 2026 ballot. At the 2000 Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Springfield, I urged Governor George Ryan to invite Bush to walk in Wheaton’s 2000 Independence Day parade. While Bush did not walk in that parade, he and Cheney did walk in Naperville’s 2000 Labor Day parade. I was there at the rally before the parade started when the “open mike” incident occurred because the Bush team refused to let Ryan introduce Bush. Dole walked with Edgar in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day parade. Obama and his wife walked in Wheaton’s 2004 Independence Day parade. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks from 2005 until Democrat and RINO DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton leaders succeeded in having their operatives and dupes end that in 2021. – Dave Diersen

— What are the biggest losses that you have suffered? Mine include the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. They flushed down their toilets my almost 27 years of work experience, my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. But worse than that, since 1997, far too many Republican leaders have sided with my Democrat superiors and have used the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that I disserved the aforesaid because I am a very bad person and even worse things. I should write about those Republican leaders who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately. – Dave Diersen

RINOs are Republicans who reject planks in the Republican Party platform and who get rid of Republicans who support those planks. Most commonly, they reject 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. I should write about the biggest past and present RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, etc. I would focus on the aforesaid who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.
