— Sonya Massey tragedy shows it’s better for municipalities to be minus police officers than to hire the wrong ones. – Editorial (COMMENT: Why were you offered jobs? The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They gambled that I would become a Democrat, but they lost their gamble. Consequently, they did everything that they could to waste my career and get rid of me. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/09/editorial-sonya-massey-sean-grayson-jack-campbell-jb-pritzker/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The Sangamon County sheriff’s office is far from the only department struggling to recruit officers and thus prone to making poor hires. With policing under more public pressure and scrutiny than any time we can remember, particularly in diverse, Democratic Party-controlled states like ours, the profession clearly isn’t nearly as enticing as it used to be, even with early retirement, good salaries and generous pensions on offer. The Chicago Police Department, for one, is short about 2,000 officers. The temptation for these departments, then, is to skimp on the background checks and vetting that are necessary to weed out the unsuitable but can hamper recruiting. There were plenty of red flags available on Grayson, including a 2015 citation for driving under the influence and a record of working for five different police forces in the three years before Sangamon hired him in May 2023. At a bare minimum, an applicant bouncing around that many departments in such a short period of time ought to compel a police chief interested in hiring him to call the chiefs of those other departments for an honest assessment rather than relying on applicant-provided references. The public has an interest in fully staffed police departments. But there’s an even greater public interest in taking every step possible to ensure those on the force are truly qualified and well trained. Better to be undermanned than to run the risk of employing officers prone to losing their cool in tense moments, flaws that carry with them potentially fatal consequences. Sonya Massey’s tragic death is a cautionary tale for police chiefs everywhere. That brings us to the matter of the police chief in this case, Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell. Campbell has defended the process he undertook when hiring Grayson, saying he followed normal procedures, but has allowed there are changes he’ll make going forward. “My standard is now that ‘I want you to figure out a way not to hire this person,’” Campbell told Illinois Public Media News. By that, we took him to mean that every applicant will be scrutinized as thoroughly as possible. If that’s what he meant, we agree. . .It’s relatively easy, of course, for the Democratic governor to castigate a Republican sheriff in a case that has garnered national headlines and reflects poorly on the state. It wasn’t hard to detect the whiff of politics in the harsh criticism of a GOP officeholder by a governor with national aspirations (and demonstrated prospects) who needs to appear as tough as possible responding to a horrific police shooting within the state’s capital city. We’d be a bit less cynical had Pritzker, for example, been as critical when his appointees to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board failed so starkly earlier this year to keep convicted domestic abuser Crosetti Brand behind bars, freeing him (despite numerous red flags) to allegedly kill the 11-year-old son of an ex-girlfriend as she was attacked as well and badly injured. Pritzker asked two of those appointees, including the board chair, to resign. But when it came to his own appointees, who failed every bit as badly as Campbell did with similarly fatal consequences, the governor publicly expressed nothing like the outrage he leveled at the sheriff. Sangamon County is dominated by Republicans at the local level. To date, as far as we’ve seen, no local GOPers have called on Campbell to leave. If Campbell resigned over this tragic lapse, that would be an appropriate acceptance of responsibility. But he’s an elected official answerable to the voters of the county, not Gov. Pritzker. If he chooses to stick to the path of attempting to improve the office’s personnel management and regaining the public trust as he runs again, the voters of that county will be able to decide two years from now on his ongoing suitability.)

— Illinois sued by Illinois Family Institute over new pro-union law. – Brandon Dupré (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes despise/hate unions. They have never forgiven me and they never will forgive me for having been a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I was a union member, I was grossly overpaid and that my benefits were far too generous. In today’s dollars, my salary increased from $18.99/hour in 1966 to $110,020/year in 1980. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

I am all of the aforesaid. I was born in 1948. Even though I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was only 24, and I had to work my way through college, that is, I did not get any scholarships, I was nevertheless able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) earn a professional license when I was 32.  But I would not be able to do the aforesaid today because of my bad demographics, that is, because Affirmative Action and DEI requires educators, employers, and everyone else to give ever-increasing preference to those who do not share my demographics.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Sheriff Jack Campbell has been forced to retire. I should write a book about the stigma of being forced to retire. Being forced to retire makes it impossible to get a job appropriate for your work experience, education, professional certifications, and/or profession licenses. But far worse than that, especially if you are conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, your critics/opponents use your having been forced to retire to hint/imply/argue/shout that real reason was that you are a very bad person if not a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who have used my having been forced to retire when I was 49 in 1997 against me the most. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, e) religious leaders and activists, and f) those who I have sued and their lawyers. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be an especially bad person and even worse things because I had earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job related professional license in 1981. Needless to say, my Democrat GAO superiors having forced me to retire was one of the biggest negatives in my life. I will never recover from it. They forced me to retire to punish me because I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay for performance purposes, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond me GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. – Dave Diersen

— The Republican Party has become a bunch of RINOs. – Randall Limbach, Sierra Vista
https://www.myheraldreview.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/letter-the-republican-party-has-become-a-bunch-of-rinos/article_533bdea8-5661-11ef-b3c0-27fec32bdc59.html
(FROM THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Republican party has morphed into a party of Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs). The RINO concept has shifted over the decades, sometimes used disparagingly and other times approvingly. Traditionally, RINO describes a Republican deviating from conservative values. In my observation, today’s RINO is any Republican: Who’s actions are contrary to his conservative platform; Who not only doesn’t enforce the United States Constitution but promotes its decay (state sovereignty; representation; personal welfare; and state, individual, land, and water rights); Allows and even promotes tyranny (Covid mandates); Surrenders to Democrats on common-sense conservative principles (voter integrity, term limits, individual/land/water rights, taxation, border control, and federal overreach). The cowardly RINO tackles tough issues only after the door of opportunity has closed with a Republican administrative majority, after which he feigns a sense of urgent engagement on those same issues. Like conventional Democrats, establishment Uni-party RINOs possess globalist, centrist, and intellectually dishonest views, shunning those constituents who dare demand the restoration of our Constitution. The RINO enjoys the benefits of Uni-party ‘membership’ via support from the Grand-Old-Party and Democrat institutions, mainstream media, military industrial complex, giant conglomerations, and Big Tech and entertainment industries. RINOs demand “unity” throughout the party yet refuse to reverse course following generations of continued deceit and anti-America legislation. Today’s RINO would have supported the King of England in his efforts to defeat the original American revolutionaries. Ultimately, as what occurred in 1776, God will shield and promote today’s American revolutionary, regardless of political persuasion, and will rightfully hold these counterfeit Americans accountable.)

POST GAZETTE
— Vance and Walz in a race to define themselves as champions of working-class voters. – Steve Bohnel and Mike Wereschagin  (COMMENT: What do your critics/opponents want to define you as being? Most of mine want to define me as being “too conservative.” They stress that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that I have been a Wheaton resident since 1978, and that I attended the Illinois Republican Party State Convention as delegate, reporter, and vendor this year while DuPage County and Milton Township RINO leaders boycotted it. They stress that I am White, male, older (born in 1948), baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, and 100% German American. They stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844 and that I was a Crete resident 1948-1972. They stress that I was the fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.)

— Top companies for high school graduates to begin and advance their career. – Matthew Euzarraga  (COMMENT: In 1966, my ACT score was 24, I graduated in the top 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class, I was a full-time UIC student, and I lived with my parents in Crete. The Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hired me in 1966 as a part-time employee because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. They disapproved of, if not despised, a) the fact that I was avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student deferments, b) the fact that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and a Crete resident since 1948, and c) that I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. In my defense, I stressed to them that I had bought that Pontiac with money that I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. They certainly did not want me to become a full-time employee. To get rid of me, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969 even though I had taken far fewer sick days than any of my coworkers. They succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969 by falsely saying that I was not available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in session.)
