While I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blacklisted all those who spoke at or attended TAPROOT events.

I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. The goal of such training is to promote hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-bans-federal-money-from-funding-far-left-anti-american-critical-race-theory
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration announced late on Friday that it was cracking down on “critical race theory,” a far-left anti-American ideology that promotes racial division, from being taught in federal agencies and paid for by federal money. The memo released by Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, called critical race theory “divisive” and “anti-American propaganda,” adding that the far-left ideology falsely promotes the notion that “there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.” The memo states: “These types of “trainings” not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce.” . . . One recent example of critical race theory that was exposed was at the National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which promoted the racist and bigoted notion that the following things were bad because they were part of “whiteness”: Self-reliance, Nuclear family unit, Objective, rational linear thinking, Hard work is the key to success, Work before play, Respect authority, Competition is good, and Progress)

Mayor Marty Small and protest organizer Steve Young picked up roller paint brushes and helped write those words on the pavement of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in front of the city’s Civil Rights Garden. Young wanted to paint the name of the movement on the Boardwalk, which Small said is illegal. The mayor then planned the city’s own even where the words could be painted in a public place.)

I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division for three years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $101,176-$107,922/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I have a master’s degree in accounting. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner and a Forensic Accountant. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned my knowledge of IRS the most. I would focus on past/present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their staff members, and their volunteers.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/insider/2020/08/13/irs-takes-aim-at-high-income-non-filers-will-it-cut-the-tax-gap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As announced, IRS revenue officers were going to visit non-filers in order to apprise them of their filing and payment obligations in the hopes of bringing them into compliance. Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic made face-to-face visits impossible, and the IRS was forced to suspend its efforts with respect to non-filers by virtue of its People First Initiative, which expired on July 15, 2020. . .Fortunately for many high-income non-filers, the anticipated visits will be conducted by revenue officers (who pursue collections) as opposed to special agents (who bring criminal cases) and, in announcing its initiative, the IRS stressed that the visits “underscore the importance of people filing their taxes . . . , even if they can’t pay the full amount of tax due.” As I previously noted, filing a delinquent return (even without the required payment) will reduce the likelihood of a criminal prosecution. Thus, high-income non-filers should take advantage of the IRS’s initiative to bring themselves into compliance even if they can’t pay their full bill; those who fail to do so after being contacted by a revenue officer will be exposing themselves to a heightened risk of criminal prosecution.)

— While Underwood wants to boost postal funding, Oberweis suggests reducing mail delivery – Russell Lissau (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— Most Americans believe social media companies censor political viewpoints – DEREK KIM (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents promote Facebook.

http://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/9763/20200829/most-americans-think-social-media-sites-censor-political-viewpoints.htm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pew Research Center survey conducted in June finds that roughly three-quarters of U.S. adults say it is very (37%) or somewhat (36%) likely that social media sites intentionally censor political viewpoints that they find objectionable. Just 25% believe this is not likely the case. The survey conducted in June finds that about three-quarters of American adults think that it is very (37%) or somewhat (36%) likely that social media sites intentionally censor political viewpoints that they find objectionable. On the other hand, only 25% believe that this is likely not true. The majority of both political parties also finds this to be true. However, this sentiment is much more widespread and growing quicker among Republicans. 9 in 10 Republican leaning adults answered that it was at least somewhat likely that censorship of objectionable viewpoints occurs on social media. This is up slightly from 85% when the center asked this same question in 2018.)

My Lutheran ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college.

WTTW
— As the RNC Kicks Off, A Look at the GOP in Illinois – Amanda Vinicky
https://news.wttw.com/2020/08/24/rnc-kicks-look-gop-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leading up to and during his term as Illinois’ 42nd governor, Bruce Rauner spent some of his personal fortune to help boost the Republican Party in the state. He’s not only no longer doing that, Rauner’s not even registered to vote in Illinois anymore; he’s set to cast his ballot from Florida. It’s a sign of the lurch the Illinois GOP is in: The Congressional delegation is split 13 Democrats to five Republicans, both of the state’s U.S. Senators are Democrats, there are no GOP constitutional officers and Republicans are in super-minorities in both the Illinois House and Senate. It wasn’t always this way; in Gov. Jim Edgar’s day it was Republicans who held the reins in Illinois. But, in another indication of the state party’s identity crisis, Edgar is voting for Democrat Joe Biden instead of President Donald Trump. “Donald Trump just hasn’t grown in office. I hoped when he got elected that maybe he might grow in office,” Edgar said. “He has been more of a disappointment than I thought he would be four years ago, and I was definitely bummed out when he won four years ago. But I’m just – I think this country has suffered a lot that going to take a while to take care of.” While Trump is popular in much of downstate Illinois, Edgar said the President hurts Republican candidates who run statewide, in the city of Chicago and in the suburbs. “If Trump would lose in November, then I think the Republican Party in Illinois statewide has a better chance of coming back,” Edgar said. “Republican candidates have to answer everything Trump says and does. … It hurts them in the suburbs and in the city.” Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider said on Monday that President Donald Trump can win the state. “Our side has the energy going this election. Who really cares about Sleepy Joe and Kamala Harris,” Schneider said. “People aren’t rushing out the door to vote for Joe Biden.” The “lawlessness in Chicago” will put Trump on the victory path, Schneider said. “With the rioting and the protests … peaceful protest is one thing but rioting and looting and then allowing the mayor of Chicago to barricade her four blocks around her and protect her with 150 police and then not protect our downtown and our Magnificent Mile and what about these terrible crimes and murders and shootings,” Schneider said. “That’s going on in Illinois everywhere with a Democratic mayor and a Democratic governor. We need to make Illinois Republican again so we can institute policies that are positive for the people of Illinois. Keep people from leaving our state. Or as I always say, we’re going to need a wall around Illinois, just to keep people in.” Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers say Democrats who control the General Assembly are stalling on beefing up ethics measures even as for the fourth time prosecutors filed federal charges against a member of the legislature and as powerful utility ComEd has admitted to a massive bribery scheme tied to Democratic Party of Illinois chairman and Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.)

ABC7
— RNC 2020: Republicans to host scaled-back convention with some in-person events 2 Illinois delegates heading to Charlotte for roll call vote Monday – Craig Wall
https://abc7chicago.com/rnc-2020-republican-national-convention-kickoff/6384947/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Laura Pollastrini, a 14th District delegate, was looking forward to her first convention. “We went from North Carolina, then canceled North Carolina to Jacksonville, and then Jacksonville got canceled, and now we’re all sitting at home. So it’s really frustrating for us,” Pollastrini said. “Having it on the camera doesn’t hurt us. It actually, in a way, it expands our viewership, it expands how many people could actually be involved,” said George Pearson, Will County Republican chairman. Pearson is planning watch parties with supporters at the headquarters office in Crest Hill. Due to coronavirus concerns, only two Illinois delegates are actually going to Charlotte for the roll call vote on Monday where they will formally nominate the President. Testing, face coverings and social distancing will be required. Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider is one of delegates who will attend the convention. “The RNC sent out COVID tests to every member that’s attending the Charlotte convention. I had to test negative to go to Charlotte. I also have to do a self-test every day and go online and reflect all my symptoms every day,” Schneider said. Delegates also are not concerned with the polls, pointing to how wrong they were four years ago with Hillary Clinton and seeing a silent majority out there that will support the President. “Because there’s so much negativity that’s being put out by the media, that people aren’t going to, they’re not going to answer polls, neighbors aren’t going to talk to neighbors, they’re not going to tell who they’re going to be voting for, come this election,” said Lori Yokohama, a Republican delegate for Chicago’s 1st District. President Trump is reportedly very eager to make sure the Republican convention has a very different look and feel than the virtual DNC, with small crowds at some events. He’s even making plans to give his acceptance speech from the White House lawn.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Illinois Republicans sense momentum against Democrats but uncertain how to deliver their message – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-delegates-republican-national-convention-20200824-5tgjwte2d5bo5axf6pcjkunxyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For Roger Claar, who retired at the end of July as Bolingbrook’s mayor after a tenure he proudly touts as 33 years, eight months and seven days, the planned trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, was “going to be my big swan song” to politics. For the longtime member of Illinois’ GOP State Central Committee, it was to have been his last Republican National Convention after at least eight previous trips — a last chance to buy “shirts, hats, salt shakers, whistles, buttons, banners” and other memorabilia for his vast collection. “I’m obviously going to miss the chance to get the latest and greatest and be the only kid on your block that owns it,” the 74-year-old Claar said. But in the age of COVID-19 and a variety of fits and starts, the Republican National Convention that kicks off Monday will be held largely in a virtual digital setting just as the recently completed Democratic convention. Unlike the Democratic convention, where states’ delegates were told to stay home as former Vice President Joe Biden was nominated for president, Republicans are allowing 336 delegates to actually go to the host city, representing the 50 states, plus territories. Illinois GOP State Chairman Tim Schneider and Richard Porter, the state’s Republican National Committeeman, will attend. Demetra Demonte, the state’s Republican National Committeewoman, had planned to go but opted out for family health reasons. That leaves the rest of the 67-member delegation, all pledged to President Donald Trump’s renomination based on the state’s March 17 primary results, in a bit of quandary. Unlike the state’s Democrats, who met virtually for a rally session before each night’s prime-time festivities, the state GOP delegation’s schedule has become a work in progress. “I have no idea what to expect,” said Illinois Senate Republican leader Bill Brady of Bloomington, an at-large delegate. “I’ll be getting together with some colleagues to watch the convention and we’ll talk and see. But I just have no idea what to expect out of this, given the framework.” Other delegates said they are attempting to organize convention “watch parties” and Porter, en route to Charlotte, said “you can put together Zoom meetings in 15 minutes, so I do think at the end of the day there will be some of that.”)

— Plenty of Republicans will be in attendance at the four-day Republican National Convention—including Illinois delegates Richard Porter, a Chicago attorney and GOP national committeeman, and Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider. They’re in Charlotte, N.C., where the business portion of the convention will take place. Other live speakers will appear from Washington. “Everyone is very upbeat. We’re pumped,” Porter told Playbook after he arrived in Charlotte over the weekend. “We’ve accepted the fact that we’re not doing the big shindig but we’re still upbeat. We’re pumped.” He expects the next four days to reveal the “stark” differences between “the Democrats’ dark vision of an America that’s systematically evil and our vision of an America that’s fundamentally good. I think people are looking forward to making the case and showing that contrast.” Illinois’ delegates: Along with Porter and Schneider, they are Reps. Darin LaHood and Mike Bost, state Rep. Andrew Chesney of Freeport, Black Conservative Foundation President Diante Johnson, Will County GOP Chairman George Pearson, 41st Ward Committeewoman Ammie Kessem, Palatine Township Committeeman Aaron Del Mar, and congressional candidates Mary Miller for the 15th District and Jesus Solorio Jr. in the 4th. . .Illinois voice among convention speakers: Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, an Illinois native, takes the stage tonight, along with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, Donald Trump Jr., and Mark and Patricia McCloskey (the St. Louis couple who waved guns at protesters). – SHIA KAPOS

WORLD TRIBUNE
— Chicago activist to residents angry about looting: ‘Get over it’
https://www.worldtribune.com/chicago-activist-to-residents-angry-about-looting-get-over-it/
— Washington Post outraged that White House allows conservative outlets at press briefings (DIERSEN: www.gopillinois.com is a conservative news outlet.)
https://www.worldtribune.com/washington-post-outraged-that-white-house-allows-conservative-outlets-at-press-briefings/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Washington Post, the news outlet which amplified one of the biggest political hoaxes in American history, is calling out conservative-leaning news outlets for allegedly amplifying hoaxes. The Post complained in two recent articles that The Gateway Pundit, The Epoch Times and One America News Network (OANN), three conservative sites that it says are “amplifying hoaxes,” were allowed into White House press briefings given by President Donald Trump. The Post won a Pulitzer Prize for amplifying the Trump-Russia hoax. Many have called on it to return the prize. The Post opined in its news pages that “The White House press corps just got a little more Trump-friendly, thanks to a bit of maneuvering by the White House itself.” The Jeff Bezos-owned “newspaper” says the conservative outlets are being unjustly given special treatment at Trump’s press briefings at which the preponderance of “journalists” present represent anti-Trump corporate media monopolies. During one recent briefing that particularly set off the Post, Gateway Pundit reporter Alicia Powe was called on to ask a question of Trump. Powe asked the president about Joe Biden attempting to take credit for the Trump administration’s brokering of the normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE. Powe “asked one of the only sensible questions during the entire presidential press conference,” Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft noted. In another article, the Post was irate that Trump fielded questions at his Aug. 13 press briefing from The Epoch Times and OANN. As for OANN, the cancel culture mavens at the Washington Post have complained many times about the network. The Post summed it up in a June headline about OANN: “When Fox News disappoints, Trump has a backup”. “The far left media STILL believes they are entitled to promote the news narrative in America today,” Hoft said. “These far left dinosaurs have failed to keep up with the times. They have failed to look within at their own shortcomings.” Hoft asked: Will the Washington Post ever apologize to their readers for promoting the Trump-Russia collusion lies? Will the Washington Post ever apologize to their readers for their false attacks on the Covington Catholic school boys? Will the Washington Post ever honestly report on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline? “The American public have seen through the constant lies of the far left mainstream media,” Hoft said. “And, although the White House Correspondents’ Association believe they own the news coming from the White House — They don’t!”)
