— A federal judge referred for disciplinary action one of the lawyers representing President Donald Trump in his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and stated the case was filed for an “improper purpose.” DD: All of the adverse actions that were taken against me were taken for improper purposes. All the adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me were to punish me for my refusing to become a Democrat, then for my complaining about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and then for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with the aforesaid. All of the adverse actions that Republican politicians have taken against me were to punish me for my refusing to be manipulated or dominated by them, for my refusing to glorify or praise them, for my refusing to pander to them, for my refusing to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, for my refusing to cover up their wrong doing, and/or for my refusing to give them money.

DAILY HERALD
— Dropping candidates is getting to be a habit — and it’s not a sign of strength. DD: Far too many run for offices as Republicans and get elected as Republicans who have far too much baggage, that is, far too many skeletons in their closets. I should write about candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who ran as Republicans, but had far too much baggage, that is, far too many skeletons in their closets. I would focus on those who had their political consultants, major donors, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers destroy me because I refused to cover up their wrongdoing.

BURR RIDGE PATCH
— A state appeals court on Monday sided with Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso in his 7-year-old lawsuit over defamation. In the 2019 election, Grasso’s then-opponent, Zach Mottl, alleged that Grasso defrauded the government out of $36,000 in property tax exemptions. Three years ago, Grasso and Mottl settled the lawsuit out of court, with Mottl giving his rival an undisclosed amount of money. But Mottl’s political consultant, Collin Corbett, and Corbett’s firm, Cor Strategies, remain as defendants.
