— For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. Democrat leaders of federal agencies decry/despise/hate Republican-led budget cuts. First, they deal with those cuts by getting rid of any remaining Republican employees. Next, they get rid of their Democrat employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. And last, their Democrat employees who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/elevate/federal-downsizing-leaves-still-employed-workers-vulnerable
— Federal job cuts take a bite out of Chicago’s economy. According to my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents, federal jobs should be given to those who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I am none of the aforesaid. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. Because I refused to become a Democrat, they ever-increasingly did everything that they could to get rid of me. I would not have survived for almost 3 years as a postal employee if I had not taken job-related undergraduate business courses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969. I would not have survived for almost 9 years as an IRS employee if I had not a) taken graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and accounting courses DePaul 1976-1980 and b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I would not have survived for almost 18 years as a GAO employee if I had not a earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/elevate/federal-jobs-cuts-ripple-through-chicago-region
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government is the largest employer in the Chicago area, although at nearly 48,000 it’s a modest slice of a 5 million-strong area workforce. At the start of the year, the federal workforce nationwide was 3 million and 82,000 in Illinois. DOGE’s program is disproportionately stinging African American employees like Cherry. Of the federal workforce, 18.6% are Black, while Black people account for 13.7% of the U.S. population. And Black workers are an even bigger presence — 20% or more — at a number of departments including the Postal Service, Education Department, Department of Housing & Urban Development, Treasury Department and Department of Veterans Affairs — all of which have been hit with job cuts since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January. The federal government is a significant employer of women of color, with Black women, Latinas and Asian women all having a greater presence in the federal workforce compared to the private sector, the National Women’s Law Center reports. “Federal employment is one of the few job sectors where Black women have had meaningful access to upward mobility,” Juliana Stratton, lieutenant governor of Illinois, and Cherita Ellens, president and CEO of Women Employed, wrote recently in a Chicago Tribune commentary essay. With above-average pay and solid benefits, federal employment has provided a path to the middle class not just for Black workers but for women and other disadvantaged groups. The government’s commitment to equal opportunity dating to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has made public service an attractive sector for career advancement that may be less accessible in the private sector. The Trump administration’s purge of offices that promote equal opportunity and diversity and inclusion has particularly affected the employment of Black Americans. “The federal government has played a unique role in the labor history of Black Americans,” economic researcher Joseph Dean wrote in a February report by the Washington, D.C., nonprofit National Community Reinvestment Coalition. “The decades-long progress made by Black federal employees is in serious danger of being upended in a fraction of time it took to build,” Dean wrote. “Federal employment opportunities provide substantial economic independence and stability for Black middle class Americans.”)

25 NEWS NOW
— Which Republicans are seeking statewide office in 2026? So far, hardly any. Politicians set to gather at State Fair this week, unofficially kicking off 2026 election season.
https://www.25newsnow.com/2025/08/11/which-republicans-are-seeking-statewide-office-2026-so-far-hardly-any/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thus far, just two lesser-known Republicans have expressed interest in challenging Pritzker in 2026. A similar group of lesser-known candidates is considering a U.S. Senate run, but there has been no news about anyone running for comptroller, treasurer or secretary of state. . .In the Senate race, four Republicans have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and are actively raising money. Former Illinois Republican Party Chair Don Tracy is reportedly considering running for either governor or Senate and is expected to make an announcement soon. Ted Dabrowski, the president of conservative research site Wirepoints, is also considering running for governor. . .Bob Fioretti, who has unsuccessfully run for several offices as a member of both parties, is reportedly circulating petitions to run for attorney general. But even as petition-gathering begins, no other candidates are publicly known to be interested in running for other statewide offices. Notable names, including U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood and former Illinois Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter have declined to run for governor or Senate.)

— Who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman (PC)? Is he/she running again? I am running again to be the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 Republican PC in Wheaton. Google AI’s overview of the Republican Precinct Committeeman position is at: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22precinct+committeeman%22+republican I was appointed as an Assistant PC in 1999 and then as a PC in 1999 to fill a vacancy. I was elected PC in 2000 and reelected every 2 years since. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010 and I served on all the MTRO fundraising committees 2000-2010. But those who continue to dominate MTRO a) rudely terminated as me as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010, b) rudely defeated me when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004, c) rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and e) rudely ended my Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee membership in 2024. They have never asked me to serve as an MTRO officer. They continue to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. They ever-increasingly blame me, blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, blame my serving as the Milton Township campaign coordinator for Pat O’Malley’s Republican gubernatorial campaign in 2002, blame my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership 2003-2007, blame my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship 2005-2012, and blame my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2012 for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. They especially blame me for Jim Ryan losing to Blagojevich in 2002. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country,” said Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills. “What more could the governor do?” . . . Senate Republican Leader John Curran of Downers Grove accused Pritzker of “meddling in other states’ redistricting issues for national press coverage.” “He should be working to increase voter choice here in Illinois by calling for fair maps like he pledged when running for office,” Curran said. . . Illinois’ current congressional map was drawn to give Democrats an edge in nearly all of the state’s 17 districts, even though roughly 41% of the state’s voters supported Trump in the 2020 election and 44% of voters did so in 2024. Likewise, Trump carried 88 of Illinois’ 102 counties in 2020 and again in 2024. The gerrymandering is particularly obvious in the West and Northwest suburbs, where some districts curl through a dozen or more communities in multiple counties like ribbons in the wind. Curran said it’d be “impossible” to gerrymander the map more than it already has been. “Gerrymandering weakens our democracy and removes choice from voters,” Curran said. “It should be ended throughout the country — starting here in Illinois.”)

ABC NEWS
— The easiest way to understand gerrymandering is through the lens of two basic techniques: cracking and packing. Cracking splits groups of disfavored voters among multiple districts. With their electoral strength divided, cracked groups struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts because they are too small a share of the electorate to be effective. Packing is the opposite of cracking. With packing, map drawers cram members of disfavored groups or parties into as few districts as possible. The packed groups are able to elect their preferred candidates by overwhelming margins, but their voting strength is weakened everywhere else. These techniques are not mutually exclusive — both may be deployed by map drawers to engineer a decided partisan advantage. Illinois 3rd Congressional District is an example Hispanic packing.

ABC7
— ‘ICE Academy’ training materials for warrantless arrests challenged in Chicago court. I should write about the 6 months of training that IRS gave me in 1971 to be a GS-7 (currently $55,850/year) Revenue Officer. SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=IRS+%22revenue+officer%22+training Democrats run IRS and Democrats run GAO. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO In 1980 after working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: While in the Chicago area Friday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem touted her department is in the midst of a hiring surge, with more than 80,000 applications received in the past week. To meet the demand, Noem said training at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Academy that once took up to a year to complete could be hastened to a matter of weeks, if the applicant has the relevant training and experience. The ABC7 I-Team had a rare look at some of the ICE Academy training materials for new agents that immigrant rights advocates say is concerning and their lawyers argue is illegal.)

— Who wants to be the next chairman of the Illinois Republican Party? Leading a political organization is a thankless job. I served as an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) 2003-2007 and as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed ICRC and TAPROOT for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes not only end my aforesaid roles, they destroyed the aforesaid organizations. I should write about my critics/opponents. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. They have always been Democrat plants who have always done everything they could to destroy Republicans, and sooner or later, they will proudly proclaim that. – Dave Diersen

Because Democrats cannot win without gerrymandering, Democrats pull out all the stops. Because Democrats cannot win without ever-increasing dependency on government and charity, Democrats pull out all the stops. Because Democrats cannot win without ever-increasing LGBTQ, Democrats pull out all the stops. Because Democrats cannot win without ever-increasing abortion, Democrats pull out all the stops.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Trump offers $50,000 bonuses to hire thousands for ICE push. $50,000 is a lot of money. When I was 22 years old in 1971, in today’s dollars, my IRS salary was $55,858/year. To get hired, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn ICE, and therefore, they ever-increasingly demonize, denigrate, and condemn ICE employees. My father never made more than $50k/year in today’s dollars. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. He was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He never attended college because his doctors told him that the stress would kill him.

ILLINOIS REVIEW

— Kathy Salvi to Resign as State Party Chair — Proof IL GOP Isn’t Dying, It’s Dead. DIERSEN: Leading a political organization is a thankless job. I served as an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) 2003-2007 and as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed ICRC and TAPROOT for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes not only end my aforesaid roles, they destroyed the aforesaid organizations. I should write about my critics/opponents. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. They have always been Democrat plants who have always done everything they could to destroy Republicans, and sooner or later, they will proudly proclaim that.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/08/sources-kathy-salvi-to-resign-as-state-party-chair-proof-il-gop-isnt-dying-its-dead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party continues its spectacular freefall into irrelevance, struggling with internal divisions, dwindling support and an increasingly uncertain future. Now, multiple sources have confirmed to this publication that Illinois GOP Chairwoman Kathy Salvi – after just one year in the role – plans to step down this summer, following the State Fair. Salvi, who previously lost a congressional race in 2006 and a U.S. Senate bid in 2022, took over the embattled state party last July after then-chairman Don Tracy – known for his deep Democratic ties and opposition to Trump – resigned, citing the rise of a powerful grassroots movement in his resignation letter. Since taking over, the state party chairwoman has been largely ineffective, leading a GOP that remains dysfunctional and often undermines its own base by targeting conservative, Trump-supporting candidates with vicious mailers and negative ads during primary elections. In seven months, Salvi has overseen only one meeting of the state central committee, the GOP’s governing board. Top IL GOP donors have also chosen to sit out this upcoming primary election. Amid a vacuum of leadership, direction, infrastructure and fundraising capacity – major donors increasingly view Illinois Republican candidates as a risky – and ultimately unrewarding investment. Without the support of major donors, the Illinois GOP faces a daunting path forward. The party’s internal divisions and lack of clear leadership have eroded confidence among those who traditionally fuel campaigns, leaving Republicans severely outmatched in both resources and organization. In January, a retiring state senator endorsed Salvi’s son – a political unknown – to succeed him in the state legislature, sparking accusations of nepotism and favoritism. Sources confirmed to this publication that the state party chairwoman had been lobbying behind the scenes to secure the appointment for her son. The Salvi family has been involved in Illinois Republican politics for decades. Her husband, Al, an attorney, has run unsuccessfully for office three times – losing a congressional race in 1986, a U.S. Senate race in 1996, and a bid for Illinois Secretary of State in 1998. As the midterm elections draw near, Democrats are poised to maintain control of every statewide office and preserve their supermajority in the legislature. For Republicans, this election season underscores a hard truth: they’re not just losing elections – they’re losing structure. There’s no head coach, no assistant coaches – just a political free-for-all. Unless the state GOP unites behind the grassroots, rebuilds its infrastructure, and offers a compelling vision, it risks remaining sidelined in Illinois politics for decades. No names have emerged as Salvi’s successor – which comes as no surprise. Few want to take the helm of a struggling party lacking infrastructure, fundraising or a clear path forward.)

For Democrat leaders, gerrymandering is a key to their success.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rhonda Belford: Democrats can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/07/opinion-illinois-gerrymandering-texas-redistricting/
(FROM THE LETTER: Gov. JB Pritzker is once again talking about gerrymandering — just not in Illinois. This week, he welcomed Texas Democratic legislators to Oakwood, Illinois, to denounce Republican redistricting efforts in that state. But while Pritzker lectures red states about fairness, he continues to ignore the glaring problems in his own backyard. Don’t forget that in 2021, Pritzker signed one of the most blatantly and aggressively gerrymandered congressional maps in the country, drawn and passed by his own party. The map created districts with lines that make my grandchildren’s scribblings look like Pablo Picasso’s. It’s a stark contrast from when Pritzker was on the campaign trail. He promised to veto any map that was “in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies.” Pritzker campaigned with a message of hope and fairness and moving past Democrats’ history of corruption. Then, at his first opportunity, Pritzker broke that promise without hesitation. “Fairness” wasn’t on Illinois Democrats’ minds. Now, as he positions himself to run for president, Pritzker is outraged. While standing on his giant soapbox and projecting his moral authority, he floated the idea of redrawing even more favorable maps in Illinois. That’s not democratic leadership; it’s partisan gamesmanship. That map gave Democrats a clear advantage in 14 of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts and earned an “F” for fairness from the nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project. The maps weren’t an accident. They deliberately cut out two Republican-leaning seats and helped lock in Democratic control. Let that sink in: The same man who signed, supported and pushed one of the worst partisan gerrymanders in the nation is now upset that other states are following his lead. Instead of looking in the mirror or pushing for national changes, Pritzker responds by threatening additional partisan moves that will continue to divide our state. Illinois families deserve better. They deserve fair representation, not districts drawn in backrooms to silence opposition and insulate power. When maps are rigged to favor one party, voters lose faith in our elections and our country’s founding principles. The truth is, with Democratic supermajorities in Springfield, there’s no one who can force Illinois Democrats to do the right thing and clean up partisan games — they need to do it themselves. If Pritzker truly wants to lead on voting rights and gerrymandering, he should start by honoring the promise he made to Illinois voters: to support an independent redistricting commission and end partisan gerrymandering in our state. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Until then, his speeches about fairness will continue to ring hollow. You can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Before our governor lectures Texas on fairness, he should take a long, hard look at his own record — and start living up to the promises he made to the people of Illinois. Rhonda Belford is an Illinois Republican national committeewoman and president of the Republican County Chairmen’s Association of Illinois. She leads the 12th District State Central Committee.)

Currently, ICE applicants must be 21 years old and no older than 37 or 40, depending on what position they are applying for. I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors used “up-or-out” to deem me too old to ever be promoted to GS-13. I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

She was elected in 2018 to the Wheaton-based district and has overcome hard charging Democrat challenges in the past three election cycles. After being vastly outspent in 2024, she won re-election by 292 votes. No word yet on who Republicans hope to see the seat.

With the money that I earned delivering newspapers and washing dishes, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966. With the money that I earned cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, and delivering mail, I paid for my UIC and NIU college expenses and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

My critics/opponents have always used that against me big time.
