— Republican Ted Dabrowski announces bid for governor
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/12/ted-dabrowski-announces-run-illinois-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attending Dabrowski’s announcement and describing herself as helping the campaign was Jeanne Ives, a former state representative from Wheaton and an unsuccessful candidate for Congress in 2020 who also failed in a challenge for the 2018 GOP nomination for governor against Bruce Rauner. During that campaign, Ives ran a TV commercial that featured actors in various dress mocking Rauner by thanking him for legislation involving abortion, as well as transgender and immigration rights. Ives, a right-wing radio host, head of a conservative nonprofit and a member of the state GOP Central Committee, also is allied with Dan Proft of Naples, Florida, another right-wing radio host and political operative who has been an intermediary for millions of dollars in funding from national conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest to local candidates. It was unclear if Uihlein, who founded the Uline packing and supply firm, would weigh in on the race for the GOP nomination.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: Why don’t religious, conservative, and/or Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton encourage their followers to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters? ANSWER::a) they reject/despise conservatism, b) they reject/despise the Republican Party platform, c) they reject/despise planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote, most commonly, the 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, d) they hate/destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money, and/or e) they despise/hate one or more of my demographics. I should write about the aforesaid leaders who are doing the most to discourage me from sending GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters out and to discourage everyone from reading them. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.- Dave Diersen

— Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner
https://nypost.com/2025/09/13/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooter-tyler-robinson-lived-with-transgender-partner/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin. Federal and state authorities revealed during a Friday press conference that a “roommate” cooperating with their investigation revealed communications from a contact named “Tyler” that described bullet casings similar to those found at the scene and discussed the “need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.“ Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single bullet shortly after being posed a question on his “American Comeback” college speaking tour about transgender mass shooters. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents were also seen outside Robinson’s family home in nearby Washington while a tow truck loaded up a dark gray Dodge Challenger that was parked outside the home, footage from CBS News showed. Police believe Robinson drove the muscle car to the college campus in Orem hours before allegedly firing a single, fatal shot at the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder, who was hosting a Q&A as part of his ” The American Comeback” tour.)

The posters were ordered by the Kalamazoo County Republican Party for a vigil that took place at Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo on Friday evening. Why It Matters.

If I had been active in Republican politics, a) the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966 would not have hired me, b) the Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 would not have hired me, and c) the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 would not have hired me.

— Older Democrats Defy Calls for Retirement. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates wanted me to retire when I became eligible when I was 45 in 1993. They succeeded in forcing me to take GAO’s retirement “offer” just before it expired in 1997. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. Being forced to retire early is devastating.

If I had not been taking graduate evening business courses, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If I had not earned an MBA in 1976, GAO would not have hired me in 1980.

— After Kirk’s death, safety takes center stage
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/12/after-kirk-killing-safety-takes-center-stage-00560018
(FROM THE ARTICLE: STAYING SAFE: The shooting death of Charlie Kirk is prompting Illinois politicians and government leaders from both major parties to ramp up security. Republicans and Democrats are rethinking safety — from campaign events to press conferences. The pivot: Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, a Democrat, moved an outdoor press conference indoors on Thursday out of caution. Some members of the Chicago City Council sent a letter Thursday to Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Chicago Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry urging a review of safety protocols. “Over the last eighteen months, the Council Chamber has seen many rancorous meetings, City Council members needing escorts out of the building and protective services because of the subjects discussed and votes taken. Local ward offices have found themselves vandalized with graffiti, guillotine stickers, and more,” the City Council members wrote. Their full letter is here. They emphasized that the council, which has “long been an open, accessible body” to the residents, “must not leave its members’ safety to chance.” And Republicans are also zeroing in on security. James Mendrick, the DuPage County sheriff who’s running in the GOP primary for governor, contacted his opponents to offer advice on how to handle safety as the race intensifies. Dual duty: “I’m running for office, but I’m also the sheriff and have to make sure that everybody’s safe,” Mendrick told your Playbook host about making the unusual move to help opponents. He’s especially worried about “copycat” incidents. Mendrick’s suggestions to his GOP primary foes included moving campaign events indoors for a while, keeping track of who enters an event and having a “spotter” monitor the crowd. Unlikely unity: Aaron Del Mar, who is Darren Bailey’s lieutenant governor running mate, welcomed the outreach. “I don’t like plugging opponents,” he said. “But it’s a good sign for our Illinois Republican ecosystem, so I’ll take that call.” Suiting up: Del Mar spoke before heading out to purchase a bullet-proof vest.)

— Friends worried about Charlie Kirk’s safety
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/11/friends-worried-about-charlie-kirks-safety-00557077
(FROM THE ARTICLE: THE ASSASSINATION of Charlie Kirk — the Wheeling native who rose from Illinois politics to become one of Donald Trump’s closest conservative allies — is reverberating through the state’s political circles, with friends saying they had feared for his well-being. “Those of us who love and care about Charlie have been worried about his safety,” Illinois businessman Gary Rabine said in a text statement. Rabine was an early backer of Turning Point USA, which Kirk cofounded in 2012 to bring conservative ideas to college campuses. “I have watched him over the past 13 years become the greatest leader behind positive change in our college universities and our country,” said Rabine, who ran for governor in 2022. “Terrible tragedy,” said former Gov. Bruce Rauner, another early donor to Turning Point noting Kirk was part of his 2014 rise to Springfield. Rauner described the young activist as “bright, talented and charismatic.” What we know: Kirk, 31, was killed by a single gunshot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in the conservative town of Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. No one is yet in custody, according to The Associated Press. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican, called the murder “a heinous act of political violence that has become too common in our country. Charlie did not deserve to die because of his ideological views.” Though they rarely saw eye to eye, Gov. JB Pritzker condemned the shooting and drew a wider lesson. “We’ve seen other political violence occur in other states, and it’s got to stop. There are people who are fomenting it in this country,” Pritzker told reporters upon first hearing of the shooting. He pointed to Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 protesters as having “tripped a new era of political violence.” Trump himself broke the news, posting on Truth Social: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Later, Trump signaled his anger, blaming the media and “radical left” in a video address from the Oval Office. Kirk got to know Trump while handling social media during his 2016 presidential. From there, he built a national profile as a sharp-tongued defender of the president and his MAGA movement — and a fixture on the conservative speaking circuit. But it was Illinois where Kirk got his political start. He worked on Rauner’s 2014 campaign for governor. In his book, Kirk wrote that he and Turning Point members “barnstormed the state and mobilized students in every county to help Bruce defeat the Chicago political machine.” Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi issued a statement saying, “Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable.” And the Illinois Freedom Caucus echoed that, adding, “We are devastated and horrified by the news.”)

— Ghoulish Dems, liberals are blaming Trump, Charlie Kirk for his own assassination — as MSNBC analyst is fired over comments. My critics/opponents blame me for all my problems. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most biggest adverse actions against me.

DAILY MAIL
— Left-wing social media ideologues celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk and say he ‘deserved’ to be shot
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086259/Disgusting-comments-left-wing-lunatics-Charlie-Kirk.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk’s murder – with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he ‘deserved’ his fate. Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump’s ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties. But left-leaning ideologues made light of it, with one writing: ‘I’m not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, but I think enablers to pedophiles should be shot, too.’ Some TikTokers also reacted casually to Kirk’s death, with one mock crying while a dramatic song played, with the caption: ‘Charlie Kirk got s**t? Awwww.’ Another liberal posted: ‘Hitler giving Charlie Kirk a tour in hell’, adding a GIF from a TV show. Another called Kirk ‘a f***ing Nazi. And you know what kind of Nazi is the best Nazi? A dead one. Thank God that s***stain of a person is no longer in this world’. Others mocked Kirk’s steadfast commitment to open debate and exchange of ideas: ‘Why didn’t Charlie Kirk just debate the bullet? he would have easily deflected.’ Many unearthed clips of Mr. Kirk defending incidents of gun violence as ‘unfortunately’ worth maintaining the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills. What special skills do/did you have? GAO audits IRS. I had a special skill to audit IRS’s Collection Division. I had worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and then 1989 until they forced me to retire in 1997. While they did let me work on audits of IRS 1986-1988, they were audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. Democrat IRS and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit IRS. Further, I had a special skill to audit federal financial industry regulators. I had worked for GAO on audits of federal financial industry regulators for 8 years 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 Levels, currently $125,661-$153,151/year. I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. Democrat federal financial industry leaders and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit federal financial industry regulators. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets my aforesaid special skills when they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

— IT’S ON — AGAIN: Watch for petitions on the street for former state Sen. Darren Bailey as he gets closer to announcing a second run for governor, setting the stage for a potential rematch with Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker in 2026. Joining him on the GOP ticket will be Cook County Republican Chair Aaron Del Mar. It’s a strategic pivot for Bailey, who struggled to gain traction in the Chicago suburbs during his 2022 campaign. By aligning with Del Mar, a prominent figure in northern Illinois GOP circles, Bailey hopes to broaden his appeal and galvanize support beyond his downstate base. Bailey is already positioning himself around kitchen-table issues like public safety, property taxes and rising costs, he told KSDK’s Mark Maxwell in a recent interview. The GOP primary would pit Bailey — the most recognizable contender in the field — against a handful of Republicans who have already announced, including policy wonk Ted Dabrowski and DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick.

WASHINGTON POST
— Chief justice allows Trump to fire a Democratic FTC commissioner for now. The ruling comes after an appeals court last week found that Rebecca Slaughter could be reinstated because the president had fired her “without cause.” Of course, in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ), my Democrat GAO superiors argued that they had done nothing to force me to retire. But they had told me that if I did not retire, they would demote me, give me adverse transfers, and take even bigger adverse actions against me. Previously, they had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. They forced me to retire a) because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because my Black CPA subordinate talked and acted like he would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me. He had less work experience than I had. He had less education than I had. He had one professional certification while I had six. I was not a licensed CPA like I was. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

— Detained Korean Hyundai workers had special skills. What special skills do/did you have? GAO audits IRS. I had a special skill to audit IRS’s Collection Division.

I had passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I had earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985 and then 1989 until they forced me to retire in 1997. While they did let me work on audits of IRS 1986-1988, they were audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division. Democrat IRS and GAO leaders do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

DAILY HERALD
— Geneva group’s plan to host January 6 organizer draws pickets, protests. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) and TAPROOT (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) were hate groups. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that ICRC and TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served on ICRC’s Steering Committee 2003-2007 and as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy ICRC and TAPROOT.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Geneva group’s plan to host the Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers and a convicted Jan. 6 organizer, has stirred a hornet’s nest of protest on social media, a petition of more than 1,000 signatures and pickets in front of a local country club. The conservative Three Headed Eagle Alliance’s Sept. 23 gathering at Eagle Brook Country Club was scheduled to feature Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 18 years in prison, as its guest speaker. However, the Three Headed Eagle’s website now states the venue for Rhodes’ appearance has been changed and will be announced closer to the date.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— America’s Black On White Crime Problem
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/09/america_s_black_on_white_crime_problem_captured_in_full_color_video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: George Floyd was a criminal and a sometime thug. By the time he died of a drug overdose in 2020, he had spent at least the last 23 years committing crimes. Over that 23-year period, he was arrested at least nine times for everything from drug possession and distribution to theft to aggravated assault. He was stopped for a wide variety of other activities that required him to do community service or did not result in an arrest. Nine arrests over 23 years might not sound like a lot, but for more than eight of those years, he was in prison and not able to prey on people. Although arrested and jailed for aggravated assault, the crime that was the catalyst for his death was his decision to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. When the police arrived, he refused to comply, fought the police, and then died from natural causes when he was pinned down to the ground, as the police were surrounded by an angry mob that made it impossible for them even to try to address Floyd’s health. Then suddenly, George Floyd became a saint. Across the country and around the world, there was gnashing of teeth, protests, and riots about his death. The Black Lives Matter grifters monetized it, politicians made speeches using it to demonize police and America, and the draconian regulations meant to protect us from a supposedly extinction-level virus were conveniently suspended so long as people were busy protesting and burning down cities. However, only with a fuller understanding of the circumstances leading up to the events captured on video does one understand that Floyd’s death was not murder or even police brutality, but rather a very unfortunate circumstance brought about by Floyd himself. But then it wasn’t George Floyd’s death itself that caused half the country to rally around the fiction of police brutality and systemic racism; it was the videos. While the videos are indeed difficult to watch, they don’t change the fact that it was Floyd’s choices that were responsible.)

— Why the United States Leads the World in Millionaires. Roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. Why do you have less money? I have less money because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/why-the-united-states-leads-the-world-in-millionaires/ar-AA1M401a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is a global leader in wealth accumulation, boasting the highest number of millionaires and billionaires. By 2024, an estimated 23.8 million Americans will have a net worth of at least seven figures. This means that roughly 1 in every 15 people in the U.S. is a millionaire. . .One of the keys to this massive wealth accumulation lies in the characteristics and mindset of those who achieve it. Millionaires in the U.S. are typically goal-oriented and patient. Rather than pursuing ostentatious lifestyles, they focus on building a mix of financial assets that grow over time. Their wealth often stems from consistent contributions to retirement accounts, prudent use of credit, and avoiding unnecessary liabilities.)

— U.S. Open delayed by Trump’s attendance. As Democrat leadership ever-increasingly increases crime in Illinois and in DuPage County, security measures to get into events ever-increasingly discourages me from attending events. Naperville barred my wife from its Last Fling event this year because her purse was too big. DuPage County security measures to get into the Sinise fundraiser for veterans earlier this year were extremely burdensome.

DAILY BEAST
— Vance Praises Five-Time Draft Dodger’s ‘Marine’-Like Leadership Style. Trump famously avoided the Vietnam War thanks to bone spurs. But Vance wouldn’t be “shocked” to learn POTUS had been a Marine. Since 1966, because I was 1-A for the draft, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my getting student draft deferments 1966-1970 and my getting a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. What if I had fought my being classified 1-A? I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness.

25 NEWS NOW
— Illinois Republicans invite President Trump to Chicago
https://www.25newsnow.com/2025/09/02/illinois-republicans-invite-president-trump-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Democrats in Illinois are sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump’s plan to bring troops to Chicago, a Republican group agrees with his efforts to make the streets safer. The Illinois Freedom Caucus held a safety press conference this morning to express their support for President Trump’s efforts. Many of them criticized democrats for opposing federal government support to help reduce crime. This comes after a violent Labor Day weekend in Chicago, when 59 people were shot, and eight people were killed. Republican State Rep. Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills) questioned Democratic leaders as to why they think sending troops is a real threat to communities in Chicago. “I can’t believe that we’re talking about why it is threatening to increase public safety in these communities. To me, it is a public safety issue that can be addressed. It has been addressed successfully in D.C., let’s bring it to Illinois, and the true threat is to the politicians who have failed the mothers and the families are calling for it,” said McLaughlin. There have been more than 300 homicides this year alone in Chicago, but the city has seen a slow, downward trend in recent years.)

Despite polls showing that growing numbers of Americans disapprove of Trump’s aggressive tactics and images of masked ICE agents whisking immigrants off the streets, 3,000 applicants showed up to submit résumés at last week’s career expo, drawn in part by the president’s call to serve and the promise of a signing bonus of up to $50,000 for top recruits. . .The agency has lifted age caps for applicants and encouraged retired law enforcement officers to rejoin the ranks. The age cap for deportation officers — the role ICE was primarily recruiting for in Texas — used to be 40.)

WALLET HUB
— 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Starting when I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have envied my earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System pension and the federal government paying 72% of my health insurance and paying 72% of my wife’s health insurance since 1978. Their envy worsened when I became eligible for early retirement and a $25,000 buyout when I was 45 in 1993. Their envy worsened more when I took early retirement when I was 49 in 1997. In my defense, I stress that I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years, I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, and that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those a) who have made it clear that they would never stoop to take a federal job and/or b) who lacked qualifications for federal jobs.
https://wallethub.com/blog/retirement-savings-survey/133047
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirement doubt. 50% of people don’t think it’s realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably. Americans worry about retirement. Nearly 2 in 5 people feel anxious when thinking about retirement. Many people lack a plan. More than 1 in 4 Americans don’t have a retirement plan. Many people may never retire. 43% of people say they expect to work until they die. Debt takes precedence. Most Americans (53%) think paying off debt is more important than making retirement contributions. Dependency risk. More than 1 in 4 Americans are counting on family members to support them financially when they retire.)
