— Cook County appoints insider as new inspector general. – A.D. QUIG (COMMENT: I worked extensively with federal inspector general offices while I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year and as a member of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new watchdog will be taking over the Cook County Office of the Independent Inspector General, responsible for rooting out waste, fraud and corruption across much of county government. The post, which has not had a permanent leader since the fall of 2022, will be filled by current Deputy IG Tirrell Paxton. County commissioners approved his appointment unanimously on Thursday. A certified public accountant and fraud examiner, Paxton has worked in the office for more than 14 years. In a hearing on his appointment on Wednesday, he pledged to “work diligently” to maintain the office’s progress since its founding in 2007.)

— About half of US adults approve of Trump’s conviction, but views of him remain stable – AP (COMMEMT: What adverse actions have been taken against you? I should write a book about the impact that adverse actions taken against me has had on those around me. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. My Firestone Store boss rudely/threadedly fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in 1971. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. Generally, people vote for candidates who share their demographics. The more that it looks like Trump will win on November 5, 2024, the more hatred that Democrats will promote against Republicans and especially against Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Because Biden shares the aforesaid demographics with Trump except political beliefs, religion, and national origin, anticipate/expect that Democrats will ever-increasingly promote more hated against conservatives, Protestants, and German Americans. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What does voting for Democrat candidates say about you? It says that you want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Political consultants who claim to be Republican but who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs advise Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to go “Democrat-Lite,” if not to go woke, if not to go anti-conservative, if not to promote the aforesaid planks in the Democrat Party platform. I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants since 2001. I served on the board of directors of its Midwest Chapter 2001-2004. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are your demographics? What does the future look like for those who share your demographics? Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, your future is ever-increasingly bleaker the more of the following that you are: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or if you have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to those who are the following: LGBTQ, liberal/moderate, non-Republican, non-American, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. – Dave Diersen

I should write a book my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors and how they severely punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. They knew full-well that our doctor had advised against it because both of us had major fertility problems. They stressed that my wife’s health insurance covered IVF.

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What do you say to my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who steer everyone away from the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and 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?

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Don Tracy Ally Jeanne Ives Attacks Grassroots on Facebook as Powerful Voter Base Abandons Angry Radio Host (COMMENT: My critics/opponents a) oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members and/or b) oppose conservative principles. They a) have always been angry about positive things that Ives has done for me including appointing me to the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee and b) have always been overjoyed about adverse actions that Ives has taken against me including removing me from that committee. Recently, one of my biggest critics/opponents threw my precinct letter in her trash. In that letter, I had announced that Ives had appointed me to the aforesaid committee.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/06/don-tracy-ally-jeanne-ives-attacks-grassroots-on-facebook-as-powerful-voter-base-abandons-angry-radio-host.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Monday, Illinois Republican State Central Committee member Jeanne Ives – a close ally to embattled IL GOP chairman Don Tracy – went on Facebook to publicly slam her own constituents – the conservative grassroots base of the party – for emailing and asking about an incident that took place during the state convention – angrily posting, “canned emails get a canned response.” Earlier on Monday, the powerful and influential base of the Republican Party – the grassroots – sent emails to IL GOP leaders including Ives, asking why SSC member Mark Shaw – who was running for national committeeman – was spotted wearing a “delegate” badge during the state convention when he was not an actual delegate. As a delegate, Shaw could vote for himself for national committeeman – a vote that wouldn’t help, as he would lose the election in a landslide to the grassroots-backed candidate Dean White. But growing agitated by the influx of emails concerning Shaw, Ives decided to go on her Facebook page and post a comment that read, “You send a canned email, you get a canned response…at least I replied to your canned email.” The comment drew an immediate backlash as Republicans fired back calling Ives’ comment “ignorant” and “belittling” to the constituents she’s supposed to represent.)

What bad jobs did you take? I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. I grant that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would never stoop to take any of the aforesaid bad jobs that I took. But the answer is not to import illegals to take bad jobs. From what I see, many, most, if not virtually all illegals a) would not stoop to take the bad jobs that I took and/or are not qualified to take the bad jobs that I took.)

Wright, and Norm Hill. I remember the primary like it was yesterday. I conducted a major straw poll at the 2003 Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) fundraiser in which more than 400 voted. Ryan won that straw poll. At the time, I was the MTRO webmaster and an officer of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition. Ryan won the primary, but then withdrew. The Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced Ryan with Alan Keyes. Keyes lost to Obama. Obama then on when on to become President. Of course, my critics/opponents continue blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for the all of the aforesaid. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I rigged the MTRO straw poll for Ryan to win. In addition, they continue to blame me and blame my newsletters for Jim Ryan losing to Blagojevich in 2002. They stress that I supported Pat O’Malley in that primary. Constructively, increasingly, my critics/opponents blame me and blame my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Should I start writing about my critics/opponents?)

— Veterans hit Trump as ‘draft dodger’ in Biden ad released on D-Day – ALEX GANGITANO (COMMENT: I am ashamed to admit that I am a draft avoider. However, I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have demonized, denigrated, condemned, and punished me the most for my avoiding the draft. I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They stress that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1978, etc. b) go on big vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, etc. c) graduate debt-free from college in 1970, d) buy real estate in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1984, 2020, and 2023, e) earn master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, f) get married in 1978, g) earn professional certifications in 1979, 1981, etc. h) earn a professional license in 1981, i) etc. In my book, I would focus on my critics/opponents who are/were veterans.)

— Texas Democrats begin state convention in familiar position: out of power but hopeful – Gromer Jeffers Jr. (COMMENT: What do you say to my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who steer everyone away from the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and 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?)
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2024/06/07/texas-democrats-begin-state-convention-in-familiar-position-out-of-power-but-hopeful/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Texas Democrats haven’t won a statewide election since 1994, putting them on the sidelines while Republicans have passed laws and implemented policies reflecting an increasingly conservative agenda. . .Lisa Turner, state director of the Democratic research group Lone Star Project, said Democrats should contrast themselves with Republicans, who last month approved a party platform that classifies abortion as homicide, seeks to ban transgender teachers in public schools and supports refusing birth certificates for children born to undocumented parents. “That is just otherworldly. It’s beyond MAGA crazy,” Turner said. “It’s really important that the party highlight our differences with Republicans, and they’ve never been clearer as to what it means for Texans. Our tagline as Democrats should be: ‘Join us. We’re the normal people party.’” Texas Republican Party Chairman Abraham George said his party better reflects the values of Texas voters, while state Democrats are weighed down by the policies of President Joe Biden. “From Joe Biden to the horrible economy and the open borders, the Texas Democrat Party is showing the signs that it isn’t with the people of Texas,” he said. The GOP platform, George said, was tough on issues like abortion but captured the mood of most Texas voters. “Those are values that average Texans will align with, regardless of their policies and politics,” he said. Democrats disagree, and they see an opening to reach voters. “Republicans have basically vacated the field on common-sense policies,” said state Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas. “If Democrats would pledge to run the state like a Fortune 500 company, we would be making so much more progress than Republicans are today.” . . . Democrats say they need to craft better a message to voters. In doing so, they want to steer away from culture war talking points and focus on bread and butter issues, including education, transportation, water, health care and the economy.

It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and misuse/abuse of veterans preference.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— 6/5/24 PRESS RELEASE: This Isn’t the First Time Democrats Raised Taxes CHICAGO — Today, JB Pritzker signed legislation that pushed a BILLION dollars in new taxes onto Prairie State residents. Without billions in federal assistance, Governor Pritzker signed the largest tax-and-spend bill in Illinois HISTORY and is making you and your families pay for it. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time. . .”Illinois Democrats’ bloated budget, which is filled with hundreds-of-millions of dollars of new tax increases for pet projects, illegal immigrants and his socialist agenda, is bad for Illinois,” said Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy. “Illinois families are dealing with Bidenflation, higher prices and more financial problems than ever before and Democrats’ solution is to take even more of their money. Pritzker needs to stop treating taxpayers as his personal piggy bank as he dreams of running for President and of being the far-left’s tax-and-spend darling.”

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Judge rules unconstitutional Gov. J.B. Pritzker-backed election law that aided Democrats in November. – RICK PEARSON (COMMENT: U.S. President was the only contested race on the Republican primary ballot in my precinct. One office on the ballot would have been “no candidate” if it had not been filled by a write-in candidate. As Democrat leaders ever-increasingly flood Illinois with voters who have demographics that vote for Democrats, anticipate/expect that because the likelihood of winning is less, fewer candidates will run for offices as Republicans and those who do run will be less qualified for the offices that they seek. Further, anticipate/expect that Republican leaders will ever-increasingly encourage only those who are the following to run: non-conservative, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German America, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Therefore, anticipate/expect that Republican organizations will ever-increasingly run candidates.)

The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) should issue press releases each and every day that show that the Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime and that the Republican Party platform promotes prosperity and safety. The IRP should focus on the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Constructively, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters do what the IRP should be doing. What the mainstream news media puts out a) is a summary of Democrat Party press releases and b) editorials made to look like news articles.)

— Two teens’ promising futures end on Eisenhower Expy. — allegedly struck by drunk driver. Erik C. Cox and Shealyn Sherwood, both 18, were killed when Ashanti Gates’ car struck them in the outbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway early Sunday, prosecutors said. The teens had stopped to fix a flat tire. – Matthew Hendrickson and Emmanuel Camarillo (COMMENT: When you were in high school, did you have a “promising future,” were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. Because they did not have money to pay my college expenses, if I was accepted by a college, I would have to work my way through college. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My vision could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spend my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I got accepted by UIC. My brother was not so fortunate I believe because he was wrongly held back in first grade.)

— What does your political future look like for you? My political future looks ever-increasingly bleak. I fully anticipate/expect that anti-Diersen leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) will do more and more and more to get one of my Republican voters in my precinct to run against me and defeat me for my precinct committeeman position. Recently a DCRCC leader angrily/rudely told me that she had thrown my April 2024 precinct letter in the trash. A copy of that precinct letter is at the end of this newsletter. They will do more and more and more a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. They will build on their past successes including: a) removing me from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, b) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, g) ending my role as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ending my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) steering Committee membership in 2007, i) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ending my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ending my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors membership in 2004. – Dave Diersen

— QUESTION: What emboldens people to take adverse actions against other people? ANSWER: They believe that they can get away with it. They have more power than their victims. They know that their victims forgive those who trespass against them. I should write a book about those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial power in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who most vehemently oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members. Should I abandon my policy of forgiving those who take adverse actions against me? – Dave Diersen

They have always stressed the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me. They have always stressed the adverse actions that my superiors in the federal government took against me. They stress that to justify forcing me to take early retirement, my Democrat GAO superiors stressed that a) they had delayed my promotions and had never promoted me beyond GS-13, b) they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO, and d) they had forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They stressed that they had taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me even though a) I had earned job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, b) I had earned job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, and c) I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97.079-$110,020/year. Previously, they stressed that my Democrat IRS superiors a) had never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) had disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Previously, they stressed at my Democrat Post Office superiors a) had forced me to resign in 1969 and b) had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It is not “Democrat-Lite.” The only legitimate reason a) to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, b) to be an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Delegate, c) to serve on an IRP State Convention committee, d) to be an officer of a Republican township/ward or county party organization, e) to be an IRP State Central Committee (SCC) member, f) to be an IRP National Committeeman or Committeewoman, and g) to be the IRP chairman is to help elect candidates in Illinois who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. But in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, far too many of the aforesaid reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Far too many of the aforesaid get rid of those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like the Republican Party platform does not exist. The current process for electing IRP SCC members has caused the aforesaid. Should I start writing about the aforesaid who have the most clout, who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, who have done the most to destroy those like me who support those planks, who use the current system for electing IRP SCC members to stay in power, who had me removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee? – Dave Diersen

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP UNITY: The Illinois Republican Party is holding its state convention today and Saturday in the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville. After eight years of divisiveness among the rank and file, party leaders hope to emerge united as they head into election season. No matter where they stand on Donald Trump, they agree on wanting to make Joe Biden a one-term president. “We’re at a pivotal point where you’re seeing Republicans starting to get back together,” Illinois GOP Executive Director Matthew Janes told Playbook. “You’re seeing a lot more unity recently.” The Illinois GOP has evolved much the way the national Republican party has, with right-leaning Republicans veering more right and centrists somehow being seen as being left on party issues. In Illinois, the shift has been geographic. In 2014, the Republican base was strong in Chicago’s suburbs and exurbs, while southern Illinois still saw Democrats have an influence in party politics. That’s all shifted: When Trump came on the scene, rural voters were drawn to his blue collar message and there was a shift in the state party’s cultural and economic bases. Chicago-area Republicans weren’t always in line with Trump. And many still aren’t. Embracing Trump: Illinois GOP National Committeeman Richard Porter was among those hoping to see a new Republican generation in the White House. He backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. Now, he says he’s most concerned about taking back the White House from Democrats. “I am for winning. Trump is our nominee and the Democrats have behaved appallingly in regard to Trump so it’s not hard to support him,” Porter told Playbook, referring to the former president’s recent court fight in New York. That attitude is expected to prevail in Collinsville this weekend, where the biggest task is to line up behind a party platform and elect a new Republican committee man and committee woman to represent the state within the national Republican Convention (The party elects one man and one woman to those seats.). Why the change: Term limits are keeping Porter and Committeewoman Demetra DeMonte from running again. They have each served two terms. In the running for their seats: GOP state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White and Illinois Republican Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber. Shaw is also an Illinois adviser to Trump’s campaign. Women candidates are State Central Committee members Joan Lasonde and Rhonda Belford, and former Republican legislative candidate Julie Cho. All of the candidates are right-leaning, Trump-supporting Republicans. If you are Demetra DeMonte, Playbook would like to hear from you. Email skapos@politico.com )

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump putting his finger on the scale to revamp GOP platform four years after it froze in time – Elaine Mallon (COMMENT: Those who oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a far-right conservative. Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump-promoter. I should write a book about those who oppose direct elect election of IRP SCC members and who oppose Trump and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3015947/trump-revamp-gop-platform-after-it-froze-in-time/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump campaign is pushing to elect those closely aligned with the presumptive presidential nominee’s agenda to positions on the Republican National Committee‘s Platform Committee. Much of this effort by former President Donald Trump’s campaign relates to concerns that far-right conservatives will push stances on abortion and same-sex marriage that may alienate the general population just ahead of the general election. The RNC’s Platform Committee consists of a male and a female representative from each U.S. state and territory, and it will play an instrumental role in shaping the party’s stances on dozens of policy issues. The party’s current platform is a 66-page document that hasn’t been reviewed since the 2016 election. In 2020, the RNC passed a resolution stating it would not adopt a new platform, pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic interfering with the party’s ability to hold meetings. That year marked the first time in more than 150 years that the RNC decided not to make adjustments to its official platform, per NBC News. Shiree Verdone served as co-chairwoman of Trump’s campaign in Arizona in both 2016 and 2020 but is no longer involved with the Republican Party of Arizona. She told the outlet that Trump’s team is concerned about who is getting on the party’s platform committee. “Trying to get normal folks on the Platform and Rules [committees], but God knows if there’s any normal people in that delegation,” Verdone said. The committee’s leadership consists of strong Trump supporters, including Trump’s former ambassador to Luxembourg, Randy Evans, who will serve as executive director. Russ Vought, Trump’s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, will serve as policy director, and Ed Martin, the head of several conservative groups, will serve as deputy policy director. “The campaign is really getting into it and involved this year in [Platform Committee] races in states,” a veteran Republican operative told the outlet. “There is a sense among them that the platform should not be pushed too far to the right on a few issues, but I keep hearing abortion and marriage specifically.” While far-right conservatives have called for a national ban on abortion, Trump has been steadfast in his stance that the matter will be left up to the states. “I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump declared on Truth Social.)

According to Wikipedia, “A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence, or other embarrassing information. Research has distinguished personal cover-ups (covering up one’s own misdeeds) from relational cover-ups (covering up someone else’s misdeeds). The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Perpetrators of a cover-up (initiators or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up – Dave Diersen

— Should I write about my critics/opponents who are the most nasty/vicious? I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who use their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work. – Dave Diersen

CNN
— By disallowing my education deductions in 1978 when I was 29 years old, IRS sent a big message. I had just been the subject of a 4-page “One Person’s Finances” article in Money Magazine. I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for 5 years and as a Special Procedures Staff Advisor for 2 years. My salary in today’s dollars was $106,785/year. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. The message that IRS sent was that IRS does not want employees who share my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. The message that IRS sent was that IRS does not want employees like me who oppose patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The message that IRS sent was that IRS can and will use its power to destroy whoever it wants to. Subsequently, IRS was furious when I a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) transferred to GAO in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) became a licensed CPA in 1981. GAO audits IRS. Neither the Democrats who ran IRS nor the Democrats who ran GAO wanted me to be assigned to audits of IRS. The forced me to suffer a $22,996 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

Both Trump and I are White, male, old, non-poor, married, draft avoiders, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I put together and send out a newsletter every morning that is read my many thousands in Illinois. Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have taken many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. – Dave Diersen

IBENDAHL ON POLITICS
— Obliterating the last remaining lie of the direct election opponents (COMMENT: I should write a book about those past and present Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000.)
https://ibendahlonpolitics.com/2024/05/14/obliterating-the-last-remaining-lie-of-the-direct-election-opponents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Defenders of a failed status-quo whined for years that we couldn’t allow Republican primary voters to have a vote again for the Illinois GOP’s governing board because we would get Democrats on our state central committee. Of course this was always just a manufactured lie. And the hacks who parroted that phony talking point could never explain how that would ever realistically happen. Further, the Illinois GOP had direct elections for the members of the state central committee prior to 1986 (the same voting right every Illinois Democrat STILL enjoys in their state party) and there is absolutely zero evidence Democrat infiltration was ever an issue for the Illinois GOP when Republican primary voters had a voice. In truth it’s our cockamamie current system, the one forced down our throats by a handful of old party bosses back in 1986 which actually HAS put Democrats on our state central committee. But it’s worse than that. Over a quarter of the 17 current members of the state central committee publicly endorsed career left-wing Democrat Richard Irvin for governor in 2022. National Committeeman Richard Porter did too.)

I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. I was the only White male who ever held that job in that store.

They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, at least one of my superiors was an anti-conservative Jew and during my last 8 years they all were anti-conservative Jews. They all took many big adverse actions against me. From what I see, if they were still in charge today, they would side with Hamas against Israel.)

ILLINOIS SENATE DEMOCRATS
— Democrats champion legislation aimed at prohibiting employer discrimination based on family obligations. I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who punished me the most a) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, b) because we did not adopt, and c) because we did not become foster parents. I would focus on those a) who had children, b) whose children had health problems, c) who adopted, d) who had spouses who had little or no income, and/or e) who painted themselves as having tremendous family obligations. I would focus on the aforesaid who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Officially, who are all the candidates for Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National Committeeman and National Committeewoman? What are their qualifications? Why are they running? Illinois Republicans await a press release from the IRP. The deadline for applying was Friday, May 3, 2024 at 5:00 PM. According to a May 8, 2024 Prairie State Wire article at https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/658419645-kolber-seeking-rnc-committeeman-seat-important-green-shoots-are-growing-in-illinois , Vince Kolber is seeking the IRP National Committeeman seat and he faces Dean White (8th CD) and Mark Shaw (1st CD). While I was the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2010, I conducted a candidate forum for an open IRP National Committeeman seat. Jack Roeser participated. See a Chicago Tribune article titled “Illinois Republicans pick Williamson as new national GOP representative” at https://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2010/04/illinois-republicans-pick-williamson-as-new-national-gop-representative.html and a Huffington Post article titled “Jack Roeser, Wealthy Conservative, Passed Over For GOP Leadership Role; Rich Williamson Wins National Committeeman” at https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-roeser-wealthy-conse_n_549492 . From the Tribune article: “Williamson succeeds Pat Brady, who vacated the position when he became chairman of the Illinois Republican Party last year. Also interested in the national post were conservative Carpentersville businessman Jack Roeser and former governor candidate Jim Oberweis. The selection was made before a Republican fundraiser in honor of the statewide ticket and featuring controversial RNC Chairman Michael Steele. It was supposed to be open to the media, but Brady decided to close it today.” – Dave Diersen

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/04/il-gop-national-committeeman-race-heats-up-includes-a-former-state-party-chairman-and-a-wisconsin-voter.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The race amongst the Illinois Republican Party’s State Central Committee to be the next Republican National Committeeman is heating up as candidates campaign to replace outgoing national committeeman Richard Porter and national committeewoman Demetra Demonte, who cannot run for a third time because of term limits. While the state central committee represents the governing board of the IL GOP, the national committeeman – one male and one female, represents the state party along with the state GOP chairman before the Republican National Committee The position requires frequent travel to RNC meetings throughout the country and they are elected by delegates at the state convention. The national committeeman also votes in the RNC chairman’s election, and last year, Porter, Demonte and IL GOP chairman Don Tracy all voted to support Ronna Romney-McDaniel over the grassroots-backed candidate Harmeet Dhillon. Running to replace Porter are three candidates: state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White, and IL GOP Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber.”)
IDAHO POST REGISTER
— This race matters (COMMENT: Who is your Republican Precinct Committeeman? Since 2002, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) who oppose direction of IRP State Central Committee members and/or who reject planks in the IRP platform have failed in their efforts to recruit a registered Republican in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 (previously Precinct 9) in Wheaton to run against me and to defeat me for Precinct Committeeman. But I anticipate/expect that the aforesaid leaders will do whatever that they believe is necessary to get a registered Republican in my precinct to run against me and to defeat me in 2026. I should write a book the aforesaid leaders and the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me so far, most recently, removing me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Precinct committeemen wield tremendous power within the Republican and Democratic parties. They elect the county political party leaders, set the county party rules and send delegates to the state convention where they vote on the state party platform and state party officers. You vote for them during the May primary elections. They’re on your ballot if you are affiliated with the Republican or Democratic parties. Registered Republicans vote for Republican PCOs, and registered Democrats vote for Democratic PCOs. If you are not affiliated with a party, you have no say.”)
IDAHO CAPITOL SUN & NEWS FROM THE STATES
— Idaho 2024 primary election: Precinct committee races represent battle for soul of GOP. Hundreds of Idahoans are running for obscure precinct positions that could shake up the state’s Republican Party leadership. – CLARK CORBIN
https://idahocapitalsun.com/2024/05/13/idaho-2024-primary-election-precinct-committee-races-represent-battle-for-soul-of-gop/
https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/idaho-2024-primary-election-precinct-committee-races-represent-battle-soul-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Hundreds of obscure, down ballot primary election races for neighborhood-level political positions are drawing intense competition in Idaho and have the potential to shake up party leadership – particularly within the dominant Republican Party. The problem – according to officials on both sides of the fight for control and influence of the Republican Party – is that many voters have no idea what precinct committeemen are and likely don’t recognize the names of candidates running for these positions because they aren’t high profile offices like a congressional representative, state legislator or even a county commissioner or city council member. “I would say 99% of people don’t know and don’t know who their precinct committeeman is,” former Idaho Lt. Gov. Jack Riggs said in a telephone interview. “But your neighborhood precinct is the foundation of the party, and in our case, the Republican Party.” The stakes are so high that Riggs wrote in an April 26 opinion piece for the North Idaho Republicans that “This May, precinct committeeman will be the most important race on the ballot.” Riggs, a Republican physician who served as lieutenant governor from 2001 to 2003, is the co-founder of a group called North Idaho Republicans. The group is one of at least two groups of established, traditional Idaho Republicans who are engaging heavily in the precinct committee elections this year as part of an effort to take the Republican Party back from its current leadership team that includes Chairwoman Dorothy Moon. The other group is called Gem State Conservatives, and it includes former Idaho Republican Party chairmen Trent Clark and Tom Luna. Moon defeated Luna to become chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party in 2022. . .“There is a statewide effort to take over the party at the precinct level,” Regan said in a telephone interview. “That is not what precinct committeemen are supposed to be; it’s not supposed to be the elites and the higher ups, it’s supposed to be the grassroots, the ma and pa,” Regan added. “It’s supposed to represent the voters and the people, not a bunch of special interests. When Tom Luna lost in a landslide and his faction of the party was no longer in charge of the party, they set aside their prior calls for unity at the convention when they lost and a bunch got up and left.” Multiple efforts to reach Moon, the chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, were unsuccessful. Additionally, Moon did not respond to a list of questions about precinct committee races that a reporter from the Sun emailed to Moon and another Idaho GOP official on April 22. What is a precinct committeeman and what do they do in Idaho? There are only a few requirements to run for precinct committeeman. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, be a U.S. citizen and have been a registered voter in the precinct for at least six months before the election. Idaho law refers to the position as precinct committeeman, but anyone can run for the office, not just men. Although they are obscure, the precinct committeemen are important because they make up the grassroots level of political parties and help determine the parties’ leaders and rules. For example, the precinct committeeman elected in the May 21 Republican primary will play a big role in who is elected chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party during the upcoming GOP state convention this summer. Precinct committeemen essentially make up the county central committees for political parties in Idaho. Under state law, within 10 days of the primary election, the precinct committeemen who are elected are required to meet, organize their county central committees and elect a county chairperson and officers. Once the county central committees are organized, they select the delegates that will attend the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention that begins June 13 in Coeur d’Alene. At the convention, delegates will vote on who to elect as chairperson of the Idaho Republican Party and will help write and pass any changes to party rules or the party platform, which lists the party’s core beliefs and policies it supports. In Idaho, it is basically impossible to track how much money is going into precinct committeeman campaigns. Unlike other offices, there are no campaign finance reporting requirements for precinct committeemen with the county or the state, and there is no limit to what they can raise or spend, said Chelsea Carattini, a spokesperson for the Idaho Secretary of State’s office. Precinct committeemen are required to disclose a “paid for by” designation on any materials, Carattini said. Campaign finance information gives the public a transparent look at money funding political campaigns and candidates, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. For state level candidates, all money raised and spent on a campaign must be tracked and accounted for, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. Even local county candidates and judicial candidates must report campaign finance information once they raise $500, including the sources and expenses for that first $500. But for precinct committeemen, there are no such reporting requirements, Carattini said. How many precinct candidates are running in Idaho’s primary election this year? Unlike statewide races and elections, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office does not maintain a list of all the statewide candidates running for precinct committeeman in Idaho, Carattini said. Instead of the state keeping tabs, it’s up to local county election officials. But for context, there are almost 300 Republicans in Ada County alone running for a precinct committeeman position in the May 21 Republican primary. . .How can you tell where precinct committeeman candidates stand on issues? The ability to inform voters about these tiny precinct level offices is a challenge for everybody on all sides of this election. The North Idaho Republicans and supporters of the Gem State Conservatives have published lists of the precinct committeeman candidates they are supporting or have recruited. Regan said Republican Party rules prevent central committees from endorsing precinct committeemen. Instead, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has published a list of its current precinct committeemen in a list posted below a list of candidates for other offices that have been vetted and recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. Beyond looking at lists published online or on social media, Wasden recommends voters find out what precinct they are in and spend time researching the candidates running for precinct committeeman in their neighborhood. To support establishment Republicans looking to take the party back, Wasden urged voters to listen to see if candidates support education and public schools, reasonable government services, low taxes and fewer regulations. There’s been an increase in those running for the position in other Idaho counties as well. “For years now, the public’s interest and participation in Idaho’s Republican Party has been growing, and this year there were a record number of applicants to serve in Bonneville County,” said a press release from Nicholas Contos, Bonneville County Republican Party chairman. Across the state, there are more than 930 precincts in total, and each precinct can be represented by a different precinct committeeman in each of the four political parties the state recognizes. While state election officials do not have an exact number of precinct committeeman candidates running for office this year, longtime political observers say they have never seen this much interest and competition for the positions. “Right now what is happening is traditional, true Republicans have decided we are going to take back this party,” said Tracey Wasden, a longtime Republican booster and party official who has served as a precinct committeeman and president of the Idaho Federation of Republican Women.”)

— A Republican operative is running for Congress in Georgia with Trump’s blessing. Will it be enough? (COMMENT: I have never been an operative for any person and I never will be. My critics/opponents have a very hard time calling me an operative because I do not need/want more money. I have enough money. I have a Civil Service Retirement System pension, currently $65,165/year. The federal government pays 72% of my and my wife’s health insurance. We have no debts. We have no children or dependents. We have substantial retirement savings. We own a home in Wheaton, a car condo in Naperville, and seven cars and an SUV. I have no desire for a political office or government office. I am 75 years old. Because of the aforesaid, no one manipulates me, no one dominates me, and no one ever will. While they can and do take big public adverse actions against me, for example, removing me from the Illinois Republican Party Platform and Resolution Committee, my critics/opponents decry that no one can tell me what to do.)

— Why 1960 Alternate Electors Succeeded Where 2020 Ones Failed. The two elections bear striking similarities, but important differences allowed one to succeed, while the other failed. – Lawrence Wilson
https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/why-1960-alternate-electors-succeeded-where-2020-ones-failed-5637240
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A November election decades ago produced a clear winner in a hotly contested presidential race. Yet the popular vote immediately came under scrutiny in several states. In one, auditors discovered clear errors in tabulating vote totals. In others, credible evidence of election fraud was uncovered. With a court challenge underway, electors from both parties met at a state capitol and conducted the electoral vote. Two certifications were forwarded to Washington, one declaring the Democratic candidate to be the victor, the other naming the Republican. The Republican vice president—also a candidate in the race—convened a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. Without fanfare, he moved to accept the Democratic slate of electors and set the Republican electors aside. So ended the presidential election of 1960. The state in question was Hawaii. The vice president was Richard Nixon, who ran against Democrat John F. Kennedy, and would have won if as few as 11,000 votes spread over five battleground states had gone the other way. Sixty years later, history nearly repeated itself as Republican electors from seven states sent alternative electoral certifications to Washington amid allegations of election fraud.)
