Ever-increasingly, those who reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform have cut ties with me. Ever-increasingly, those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, reparations), and/or age discrimination have cut ties with me. Ever-increasingly, those who destroy people a) because they cannot manipulate/dominate them, b) because they refuse to glorify and praise them, c) because they refuse to pander to them, d) because they refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) because they refuse to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or f) because they refuse to give them money have cut ties with me. I should write a book about those who have cut ties with me.)

EPOCH TIMES
— To Save America, Run for School Board – Roger L. Simon
https://www.theepochtimes.com/to-save-america-run-for-school-board_3933758.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forget Congress, the Senate, or whatever glamorous position you ever fantasized about or not, even president of the United States, if you want to have a serious impact from your work, if, as they say, you want to make a difference, to change this country for the good in the short and long term, run for your local school board. You would be saving America from turning into the bleakest, socialist-communist state imaginable because that is what our current educational system, K-12, is designed to do and, sadly, has been successful in doing, literally for decades—and it’s only getting worse. You would in the process also be a true revolutionary in the tradition of the Founders of our country in bringing back truth, justice and the American way to our children and our children’s children. Someone’s gotta do it—the hour is late. But you, dear reader, can save us, especially if we band together—and there are plenty of us to do it. Please consider running for the school board to radically change a highly-corrupt and evil leftwing educational system, which has crossed the border into child abuse. The failure of this current system rests on two mutually reinforcing planes. One, indoctrination, rather than actual education, has become the overwhelming goal of our system from pre-school and kindergarten onwards.)

For the rest of my GAO career, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates viciously used that against me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the pay cut and downgrade showed that GAO considered the following to be worthless a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels (currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) my almost having completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tweets and videos are putting the vaccine culture wars on full display. Some elected Republicans are speaking up in favor of getting the vax, while three GOP gubernatorial candidates say they haven’t been vaccinated — and probably won’t be. Congressman Rodney Davis tweeted “Please, get vaccinated. They’re safe and effective. Do it to protect your health and that of those around you so we can finally end this pandemic.” And just to be totally frank, he added, “Don’t give @JBPritzker an excuse to shut the economy down again.” State Rep. Avery Bourne tweeted a picture of herself getting the vaccine, saying “I’m vaccinated & I encourage others to get vaccinated too.” Meanwhile, a video surfaced (h/t Mark Maxwell) of a GOP campaign forum where gubernatorial candidates were asked if they had been vaccinated. Only former Republican state Sen. Paul Schimpf said he had been. The others — state Sen. Darren Bailey, businessman Gary Rabine, and attorney Max Solomon — all said no. The Illinois Republican Party didn’t mince words on its opinion about getting the vaccine. “We encourage people to get the vaccine to put the pandemic behind us,” a spokesman told Playbook. The vax clash comes as the debate and discussions about masks heat up. Republicans are united in not wanting to see Gov. J.B. Pritzker issue any more mandates.)

From what I see based on my serving as an elected DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000 and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, ever-increasingly, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and IRP are ever-increasingly moving further to the left. Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the aforesaid talk and/or act like they want the Republican Party to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, they say and/or do things that promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Everyone in Illinois sees how the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in Illinois sees the support that those got who stopped me from raising funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. Expect that as soon as they have enough votes, MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP leaders will pass resolutions that condemn Trump and glorify and praise Kinzinger.)

— New NPR Ethics Policy: It’s OK For Journalists To Demonstrate (Sometimes) – Kelly McBride
https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2021/07/29/1021802098/new-npr-ethics-policy-its-ok-for-journalists-to-demonstrate-sometimes

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NPR rolled out a substantial update to its ethics policy earlier this month, expressly stating that journalists may participate in activities that advocate for “the freedom and dignity of human beings” on both social media and in real life. The new policy eliminates the blanket prohibition from participating in “marches, rallies and public events,” as well as vague language that directed NPR journalists to avoid personally advocating for “controversial” or “polarizing” issues. NPR’s current ethics policy was first drafted in the early 2000s, and then given an overhaul in 2010-2011. The new NPR policy reads, “NPR editorial staff may express support for democratic, civic values that are core to NPR’s work, such as, but not limited to: the freedom and dignity of human beings, the rights of a free and independent press, the right to thrive in society without facing discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, disability, or religion.” Is it OK to march in a demonstration and say, ‘Black lives matter’? What about a Pride parade? In theory, the answer today is, “Yes.” But in practice, NPR journalists will have to discuss specific decisions with their bosses, who in turn will have to ask a lot of questions. The carve-out is somewhat narrow. Protests organized with the purpose of demanding equal and fair treatment of people are now permitted, as long as the journalist asking is not covering the event. However, rallies organized to support a specific piece of legislation would be off-limits. Other events featuring a slate of political candidates from one party are also out of bounds. Even when NPR journalists can legitimately participate in a civic event, the new policy asks them to consider how their participation will impact their colleagues. When taking a public stance makes it harder for other NPR journalists to do their jobs, there is an expectation that the journalism will take precedence. This policy confronts the generations-old question in newsrooms: Where does the journalist end and the citizen begin?)

— QUESTION FOR CANDIDATES: Have you been vaccinated? Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey declined to tell WCIA reporter Max Maxwell. Maxwell posed the question during a campaign event for Bailey, who has famously challenged Illinois’ mitigation and mask efforts, even refusing to cover his face on the floor in the state Capitol. Bailey responded: “Why should I answer that? If I’m vaccinated, is that good and, if not, bad? No, that’s not right, Mark. It’s wrong,” he says at the 2:05 time stamp. “Asking if a candidate for Illinois’ highest public office is vaccinated is hardly off-limits,” tweeted WBEZ’s Dave McKinney. “The public is entitled to know about a candidate’s health. Former Gov. Jim Edgar underwent heart surgery during his 1994 re-election. Questions about Edgar’s health weren’t off-limits.” Besides, reporters want to know how close to stand during an interview. – Shia Kapos

POLITICO
— ‘America is not racist’ becomes a GOP 2024 mantra. Lightning-rod issues such as critical race theory and “defund the police” are a staple for Republican contenders. – DAVID SIDERS

MSNBC
— GOP rep eyes plan to kick Cheney, Kinzinger out of the party. The chair of the House Freedom Caucus wants to exile Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the House Republican conference. – Steve Benen
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about efforts to kick me out of the following: Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, GAO, etc.)
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gop-rep-eyes-plan-kick-cheney-kinzinger-out-party-n1275194
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Also this morning, Biggs published a tweet arguing that Cheney and Kinzinger “have effectively removed themselves from the Republican Conference. We should help them out the door by formalizing their departure.” If successful, Biggs’ effort wouldn’t remove Kinzinger and Cheney from Congress, but it would exile them from the congressional GOP: the duo would, in practical terms, be independents, regardless of how they personally identified their party affiliation. It remains to be seen whether rank-and-file House Republicans are prepared to participate in such an effort, but with the memory of GOP members removing Cheney from her leadership post fresh on our minds, it’d be a mistake to discount the possibility.)

(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. They side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government who took adverse actions against me because I oppose political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They side with leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. who took adverse actions against me because I oppose political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/07/28/ruling-quotas-diversity-has-far-reaching-effect-opinion/8089282002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Florida Supreme Court recently ruled that “quotas” to achieve “diversity” are illegal, if those quotas are based on certain “characteristics.” Quotas based on those characteristics “are antithetical to basic American principles of nondiscrimination.” The decision involved rules regulating the Florida Bar, but its holding affects all “diversity” policies statewide.)

From what I see, ever-increasingly, Milton Township Republican Organization leaders, DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders, and the 6th Congressional District IRP SCC representative are anti-Trump. As anti-Trumpism builds, they will do more and more and more to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen who do not hate Trump.)
https://illinoisnewstoday.com/ap-norc-poll-many-republicans-are-worried-about-the-partys-future-wgn-radio-720/317398/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans also have a lot of concerns about their party. Less than half, 41% of Republicans, say they are optimistic about the future of the GOP. Only 13% say they are “very” optimistic. And one-third, 33% say they are pessimistic . . .Polls show that Trump remains the commander of the party. Most former presidents tend to give up the spotlight after resigning, but Trump continues to insist on his power, holds rallies, supports and teases the 2024 comeback run. While 60% of the population has a negative view of Trump, 76% of Republicans have a positive view of him. And most want him to maintain at least some influence over the Republican Party in the future. Almost half of Republicans, 47%, say Trump should exert “more” influence on the party’s future, and another 34% say he should have “slight” influence. It states. Only 18% say Trump should have nothing. . .For the 2020 elections, 62% of Republicans say it is “very” or “very” important to continue investigating the elections. He was dismissed by a number of judges, including some of the state election authorities and his own attorney-at-law president. In contrast, only 38% are “very” or “very” important to continue investigating the January 6 incident, in which a group of Trump supporters slammed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the change of power. It states that. Only 10% of Republicans, like Democrats, say that democracy is working “very” or “very” well in this country today. But Republicans are more negative than Democrats. 63% of Republicans say democracy isn’t working well. Only 17% say they think the country is heading in the right direction.)

(DIERSEN: I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I earned a) working for IRS full-time for the previous 15 months, first in Chicago, and then in Harvey and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time for the previous 18 months and full-time for the 7 months before that. That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)

(DIERSEN: When I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, when I was viewed as being “draft bait,” I took the only job offer that I got — Retail Sales Manager for the Chicago Heights Firestone Store. My father had died suddenly in 1969 and potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. The Firestone Stores Chicago District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to the Chicago Heights store because I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store manager would not have hired me. Sadly, he disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/07/26/another-house-democrat-vows-to-oppose-budget-that-excludes-amnesty-for-illegal-aliens/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Specifically, Correa said an amnesty via reconciliation ought to give green cards to illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as those who Democrats consider “essential workers,” along with others. Correa joins Rep. Jesús García (D-IL) in his pledge to oppose a budget without amnesty. Weeks ago, García said “a robust and equitable budget reconciliation deal must include” amnesty for illegal aliens. For months, Senate Democrats have been working to slip an amnesty past Congress via reconciliation. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said last week that Democrats are doing “the best we can” to ensure the amnesty is included.)

— The 5 factions vying for the Republican Party’s future – DAMON LINKER
(DIERSEN: I have always been a platform Republican. Ever-increasingly, since at least 2000, platform Republicans like me have been in the minority in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Ever-increasingly, RINO leaders of the aforesaid make clear that they want the IRP to dump the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in its platform and to dump platform Republican Precinct Committeemen like me.)
