POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Calls to leaders of the Illinois Republican County Chairmen’s Association,
which posted the racially tinged image, went unanswered. But a source close to
the RCCA said the organization’s social media volunteer came across the “Jihad
Squad” artwork on a pro-Trump Facebook page, thought it was funny, and posted
it without approval. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who do not
want me to serve as the webmaster for the Milton Township Republican Central
Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or the Illinois
Republican Party. I should write a book about those who did not want me to
serve as the webmaster for the MTRCC, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois
Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants

CAPITOL FAX
— Republicans step up to denounce racist statement from one of their own
(DIERSEN: Are you “one of their own?” One could argue that if you are
a Republican Precinct Committeeman, you are NOT “one of their own” if
you are NOT a) a township/ward/county party officer after 3 years as a
committeeman, b) a township/ward/county party chairman after 6 years, c) an
Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) Member after 9
years, and d) an IRP SCC officer after 12 years. One could
hint/imply/argue/shout that I am NOT “one of their own.” Even though
I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee
(MTRCC) since 1999, those who ran/run MTRCC have never asked me to serve as a
chairman of a committee or as an officer. MTRCC rudely fired me as its
webmaster in 2010 and 2004. When I ran for the open MTRCC Treasurer position in
2004, 69 voted for my opponent who went negative against me and only 13 voted
for me. I should write a book about past and present MTRCC leaders, their
operatives, and their dupes a) who discourage me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS
emails together and sending them out, b) who discourage MTRCC members and
everyone else from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, c) who discourage
Republicans from contributing to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day
parades and fireworks, d) who blame me for MTRCC’s problems, e) who blame me
for their problems, f) who blame me for your problems, g) who blame me for my
problems, h) who blame me for everyone’s problems, i) who blame me for all the
defeats that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000, j) who reject
many if not most of the planks in the Republican Party platform and the
Illinois Republican Party platform, and/or k) who talk and/or act like they
have been promised by those who I have sued and/or by others a new home, a new
car, lots of money, a sweetheart contract, a sweetheart job, favorable
legislation, and/or lots more if they get rid of me.)
