— Ever-increasingly, since the Civil War, Democrats blame Republicans for all the problems that Blacks have had, are having, and will have. Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) paint themselves as having been the Union Army in the Civil War and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederate Army in the Civil War. Ever-increasingly, Democrats paint the KKK as being a Republican organization and Jim Crow laws as being Republican laws. I should write a book about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had doing that. I would focus on the successes and failures that they had turning my Black GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me. To turn Blacks against me, they stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors were Republicans who lived in northeast Illinois.

— Southern Illinois University professor demands Black staff get special paid time off to deal with ‘fatigue,’ ‘trauma’ from systemic racism. Critical race theorist Angel Jones says faculty should get special bereavement leave, counseling services. – Hannah Grossman
https://www.foxnews.com/media/professor-demands-black-people-special-paid-time-off-deal-fatigue-trauma-systemic-racism
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A critical race theorist and professor demanded that Black people should get special bereavement leave and counseling services in order to deal with issues relating to systemic racism. Angel Jones is a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville whose work is grounded in critical race theory and critical race feminism. CRT is an ideology and lens that holds America’s institutions are systemically racist and views individuals in an oppressor vs. oppressed narrative. Critical race theory postulates that policies that privilege oppressed people should be implemented in order to achieve equity and make up for historical wrongs. Jones argued that Black faculty should be granted special paid time off and mental health therapy to deal with events of alleged police brutality in an article published in Times Higher Education on Feb. 23. Jones did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she supported bereavement leave for all minorities in oppressed categories. “I am a proud educator who loves what I do. But before that, I am a Black woman,” she wrote. “A Black woman who is expected to return to ‘business as usual’ on Monday after seeing a member of my community murdered on Friday. Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways. Where’s our Black bereavement leave?” She called campus-wide statements to students in the aftermath of racial events in the news as “obligatory” and “performative,” adding it didn’t go far enough to address Black faculty’s “trauma,” which they need to “process.” “Where are our counseling services? Where is our grace for missed meetings and deadlines while we mourn? Yes, we have jobs to do and students to support, but we also have trauma to process.” In order to deal with “racial battle fatigue,” the professor said funding should be allocated to the mental health of Black staff. Racial battle fatigue refers to the “psychological and physiological consequences of experiencing racism.” Jones said the proclaimed psychological phenomenon “has been well documented and can have ‘deadly’ symptoms, including ‘suicidal thoughts.’” Racial battle fatigue, the professor said, can also cause “elevated heart rate, tension headaches and stomach ulcers.” “We experience these symptoms on a regular basis as a result of our first-hand racial trauma,” she said. “Free counseling services, by culturally competent counselors familiar with identifying and addressing [racial battle fatigue], should be available at all times.” In addition to counseling, Jones demanded “Black bereavement leave” in order to have the “space and time to grieve.” Bereavement on the basis of race requires a day off, an ability to work from home, a deadline extension and to have their workload reassigned. Including these benefits will help “for the retention of Black faculty and staff.” “Don’t assume you know what they want or need just because you read this article. Anti-Blackness is intentional, so your efforts to combat it must also be,” she said.)

I should write a book about those who since 2000 have talked and/or acted the most like they have paid people and/or have had people paid, including government employees, a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and/or b) paid to stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If passed, the law would also mandate that these bloggers submit monthly reports about their work, outlining how much payment they received, and who paid them. When asked about the bill, Brodeur told the website Florida Politics he thinks “paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk.” It’s unclear if DeSantis personally supports Brodeur’s proposed law. In a message to Insider on Friday, a spokesman for DeSantis said the governor’s communications office is “reviewing the bill.” “As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature,” the spokesman told Insider.)

— 10 Signs People Believe In You and Want You to Succeed – ROBIN DREEKE (COMMENT: Who wanted you to succeed? Who wanted you to fail? I should write two books. One book about those who wanted me to succeed and one book about those who wanted me to fail. Those who wanted me to succeed include a) the GAO manager who arranged for my transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, who overcame tremendous opposition from my Democrat superiors and finally got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who promoted me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him in 1987. They include the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him in 1975. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, gave me bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals, assigned me to supervise all their problematic employees, turned my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat IRS superiors who never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. Those who wanted me to fail include those who ran Money Magazine in 1978 who published a nasty 4-page article about me in their February 1978 edition that foisted negative government employee stenotypes on me and painted my education deductions as being improper. Those who wanted me to fail include my Democrat Post Office superiors who forced me to resign in 1969 and previously disallowed my two sick leave requests. Those who wanted me to fail disapproved of my being conservative, Republican, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, and/or someone whose ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

— Truth, Neutrality, and Conflict of Interest – Judith Lichtenberg (COMMENT: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Reporters and journalists should be required to fully disclose all the sources and amounts of all their income at least once a year. I have never been paid for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, that is, I have never been paid for what I do to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and to send them out. All the mainstream news outlets are anti-religious, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-capitalist, if not anti-American. Many, if not most, if not virtually all are anti-heterosexual, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-those in traditional marriages, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Many, if not most, if not virtually all vehemently reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Many, if not most, if not virtually all promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Many, if not most, if not virtually all overtly act as arms of the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Therefore, the more income that you get from the mainstream media, a) the more that you have to do to push the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green party platforms, b) the more that you have to do elect and to reelect Democrat candidates, and c) the more that you have to do to defeat Republican candidates.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Education Association (IEA) is supporting a bill in the Illinois Senate to reduce the retirement age for teachers as a way to keep them from leaving the profession. The General Assembly passed a measure a decade ago requiring teachers who were hired after 2011 to work until age 67 before they can collect full retirement benefits.

Jacobson (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was able to do the following because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities, females, and veterans: a) become a licensed CPA when I was 32 in 1981, b) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, c) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, d) earn master’s degrees when I was 48, 31, and 27, e) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, f) get hired by GAO when I was 31 and promoted when I was 38, g) get hired by IRS when I was 22 and promoted when I was 25, 24, and 23, and h) get hired by the Post Office when I was 18.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— DeSantis made the Navy rank of Lieutenant Commander when he was 28 in 2006. The equivalent civilian GS grade is 12. I made GS-12 in 1974 (currently $92,279/year) when I was a 25-year-old IRS Revenue Officer. I made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) in 1986 when I was a 38-year-old GAO Analyst. The equivalent Navy rank is Commander. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are failures if they do not make GS-13 by age 25, GS-14 by age 30, GS-15 (currently $129,671/year) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $183,500/year) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. How soon, if not already, will DeSantis’ critics/opponents paint his military career as being a failure, and therefore, that he is a failure? Since 1973 when I turned 25 years old, because I failed to make GS-13, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a failure. Further, according to them, IRS should not have promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, or to GS-12 in 1974 and GAO should not have promoted me to GS-13 in 1986. – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats say that Peter Pettorini, a Round Lake High teacher and Millburn District 24 school board member, is under criminal investigation. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. In Diersen’s opinion, political parties a) should be required to fully investigate candidates who want to run as a member of their party and b) to have the power and to use that power to stop bad candidates from running as a member of their party. But of course, political parties would abuse that power. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have made it extremely clear that if I ran for any kind of government office as a Republican, they would stop me. I should write a book about how MTRO destroyed me when I ran for an open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. I should write a book about how they ended my service as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) a member of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011, d) the webmaster for MTRO 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee 2003-2007, and f) a member of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board 2001-2004. I should write a book about how they a) almost stopped me from reporting which high-profile Republicans spoke at and attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis event in Elmhurst, b) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, and d) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006.

FOX ILLINOIS
— Democrats say that a Florida Republican State Senator, Blaise Ingoglia, Spring Hill, has introduced “The Ultimate Cancel Act’ to kill state Democratic Party.” Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. Ever-increasingly, Democrats a) paint themselves as having been the Union Army in the Civil War and b) paint Republicans as having been the Confederate Army in the Civil War. Democrats promoted the KKK and Jim Crow laws. I am proud to say that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were all Republicans. I should write a book about my Black superiors, Black supervisors, Black coworkers, and Black subordinates in the federal government who rejected tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to paint me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Democratic Party is all but dead in Florida — no Democrat holds a statewide office — and now a state senator who was chairman of the Florida Republican Party is trying to kill it entirely. Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, introduced SB1248 — “The Ultimate Cancel Act” — on Tuesday, “requiring the Division of Elections to immediately cancel the filings of a political party if certain conditions exist.” Among those conditions: “If the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.” Southern Democrats wanted to continue slavery during the Civil War. Florida seceded from the U.S. when Republican Abraham Lincoln became president. That was well over 150 years ago. If passed, the new law would take effect July 1 and the Florida Democratic Party would have to reregister. Ingoglia had been a state representative and until recently, chairman of the Florida Republican Party. Last November, the multi-millionaire home builder was elected in an open district representing parts of Citrus, Hernando, Sumter, and Pasco counties. He beat Brian Moore of the Green Party; there was no Democrat in the race. Then, within weeks, he opened a campaign account as a first step in seeking re-election in 2024, according to the state Division of Elections website.)

— Democrats say that student borrowers anxiously await Supreme Court decision on federal loan forgiveness. Did you get a student loan? I did not. I doubt that I could have anyway. I was not “college material.” I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT score was only 24. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. During my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between, instead of studying, I washed dishes to earn money for tuition and books at UIC and a new 1966 Pontic Tempest Sprint to commute to classes there from my parents’ home in Crete.

CAL THOMAS
— Democrats need a day of atonement (COMMENT: I am proud to say that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were all Republicans.)
https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/opinion/2021/06/23/history-and-why-democrats-might-need-day-atonement/5309053001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the creation of June 19th (“Juneteenth”) as a federal holiday, Democrats have one more claim to be the party of civil rights and equal opportunity for African Americans, though most Republicans also voted for the holiday. That claim has been promoted for decades by a compliant media, academia and high-profile politicians, but the facts say otherwise. From Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to the mid-20th century, members of the Democratic Party, dominant in the South due to its opposition to civil and political rights for African Americans,” were on the wrong side of civil rights. Federal troops finally brought the news of emancipation to Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, meeting resistance from plantation owners. This is the same year the Ku Klux Klan was founded. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate Army general and a Democrat, was the first grand wizard of the KKK, though he tried disbanding it in 1869 after growing critical of its “excessive violence.” The Klan, which numbered 4 million members at its peak, dedicated itself as History.com notes, “to an underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters (both Black and white) in an effort to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and restore white supremacy in the South.” The Washington Examiner cited 12 examples of how Southern Democrats historically opposed civil rights while Reconstruction-era Republicans favored them. The newspaper noted Democrats voted against “every piece of civil rights legislation in Congress from 1866 to 1966.” Congressional Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which officially freed the slaves in 1865. Only four Democrats voted for it. Republicans passed the 14th Amendment in 1866, which granted American citizenship to former slaves. Not one of the 56 congressional Democrats voted for the 15th Amendment in 1869, which gave former slaves the right to vote. Republicans backed all the civil rights laws of the 1860s, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867. Their party was founded on an anti-slavery platform. Fast-forward to the 1960s. President Kennedy was reluctant to push too hard for civil rights for fear of losing Southern support. After his assassination, President Johnson claimed Kennedy was passionately for civil rights and used his death to advance legislation in Congress. Once again, powerful Democrats in the South opposed every bill. A Senate office building is named after one of them, Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia, leader of the Senate’s Southern caucus. Curious that as statues and memorials depicting former slave owners and those associated with slavery and racism have been removed from various locations, Russell’s name remains on that building. The Examiner noted a PBS program that stated, “The Democratic Party was responsible for passing Jim Crow laws, in addition to Black Civil Codes that forced Americans to utilize separate drinking fountains, swimming polls, and other facilities in the 20th century.” Chief Justice Earl Warren, a Dwight Eisenhower appointee, read the unanimous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education, declaring segregated schools unconstitutional. Eisenhower also ordered federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in the face of opposition to integrating Central High School by Gov. Orval Faubus, a Democrat. Republican Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois wrote several bills that banned discrimination in housing, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Richard Nixon, a Republican, introduced the Philadelphia Plan, the precursor to affirmative action. Republican Ronald Reagan signed legislation establishing the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday. While Democrats are now claiming another victory for themselves, they might want to consider establishing an additional special occasion. Given their party’s deplorable civil rights record, it could be called a day of atonement.)

— Was Jussie Smollett Right? Is Chicago MAGA Country After All? – ROBERT SPENCER (COMMENT: One could have expected that Lightfoot would have been easily reelected with votes from Blacks, women, and LGBTQers.)
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/robert-spencer/2023/03/01/was-jussie-smollett-right-is-chicago-maga-country-after-all-n1674879
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But maybe Jussie’s fables had a grain of truth to them: asked after her loss if she blamed racism and sexism for going down in flames at the ballot box, Lightfoot replied: “I’m a black woman in America. Of course.” And Maggie Cullerton Hooper, former deputy finance director of the Illinois Senate Democratic Victory Fund, likened Chicagoans to Trump for having the temerity to show Lightfoot the door. MAGA Country after all!)

CBS NEWS
— Democrats say “Pence won’t commit to supporting Trump if he’s the nominee.” Republican leaders have always stressed to me that Republican Precinct Committeemen like me have to support those candidates who win Republican primary elections. I have always done that. But I should write a book about those Republican leaders a) who blame those who supported candidates who lost primary elections, including Pat O’Malley and Jim Oberweis, for losses suffered by candidates in general elections, including Jim Ryan and Judy Barr Topinka, and b) who destroy Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who supported candidates who lost primary elections.

HUFFINGTON POST
— Democrats stress that Trump calls his enemies names. Trump knows that his enemies use that against him. But Trump continues anyway. Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes negatively call me conservative, if not too conservative, if not right-wing, if not overly zealous, if not extremist, if not radical, if not fanatical, and/or stronger things. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and worse things. They stress my demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun-owner, draft-avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time.

DESERET NEWS
— Democrats ask “Can the Romney wing and the Trump wing of the GOP come together to win in 2024?” I should write a book about those Romney supporters in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Romney’s problems in Illinois and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. After Romney won the Republican presidential primary in 2012, I did everything that I could to help elect Romney. But those Romney supporters ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn that.

— Democrats say DeSantis has endorsed the revival of a Trump-era initiative aimed at stripping tens of thousands of federal employees of their civil service protections. I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors who focused on advancing the Democrat Party platform, that is, who focused on getting rid of federal employees who were Republican, and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, gun-owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those who ancestors had been in America for a long time.

Democrats, libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs ever-increasingly use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, that is, they ever-increasingly use political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of Republicans, that is, they ever-increasingly use CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, and wokeness/wokeism to get rid of Republicans. I should write a book about the success that they have had in getting rid of Republicans in Illinois, in DuPage County, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, and in my precinct.

— Let’s Swap Racial Preferences for Ability, Skill in College Admissions – Jonathan Butcher (COMMENT: UIC admitted me in 1966 when I was 18, NIU when I was 20, Loyola when I was 23, DePaul when I was 27, and IIT when I was 43. But because of ever-increasing pressure on colleges to admit those who are minority and/or female and because I am not a minority or a female, I doubt that if I was 18, 20, 23, 27, or 43 today, that they would admit me today. In my defense, I graduated in the upper 20% of my high school class, my ACT score was 24, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At some point, the Republican Party forgot what it was and began its descent into becoming “Democrat Lite.” This was no more apparent when Republican leadership decided that it was going to go along with the Democrat’s 11th-hour Omnibus bill that read more like the Democrat Party’s Christmas wish list.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say that patients worry that IVF treatments could become illegal under abortion bans. My wife and I had many failed IVF tries. There are problems with both my sperm and my wife’s eggs. Nevertheless, since we got married in 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, and especially my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, viciously condemned me, and viciously punished me because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents. They paint us as being selfish rich DINKs, that is, Dual Income No Kids. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if we had children, had adopted, or had become foster parents, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) become a licensed CPA in 1981, e) etc.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do the by-laws of your Republican township organization say about endorsing candidates in non-partisan elections? I hope that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) votes at its March 8, 2023 meeting to endorse all the Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct. In Illinois, you are a Republican if the most recent primary ballot that you cast was Republican. So far, MTRO has discouraged/prohibited me from distributing any precinct letter or campaign literature in my precinct for candidates that contains a Republican emblem, contains the word Republican, or draws a connection between candidates and anything that is Republican. But wait, if I distribute anything in my precinct, the voters in my precinct know that I am a Republican They know that I am their elected Republican Precinct Committeeman. They know that I am conservative. Since 2000, many MTRO leaders have blamed the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. They have blamed a) what I have done as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, b) the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I have sent out since 2000, c) what I did as the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, d) what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) what I did as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) what I did as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, f) what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and g) what I did as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004. They have blamed me for losses suffered by Jim Ryan, Andy Mckenna Jr., Judy Barr Topinka, Bill Brady, Dan Rutherford, Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam, Jeanne Ives, Babette Holder, Greg Hart, and many other Republican candidates. What do you say about the aforesaid? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE MTRO BY-LAWS: Section 2. Non-Partisan Elections. The MTRO may endorse candidates in non-partisan elections. The endorsement of a candidate by the MTRO shall require two-thirds (66%) of ballots cast for that race at a duly noticed meeting. All voting members are entitled to vote in all races, regardless of district boundaries. The option of “No Endorsement” shall always be placed on the ballot for each proposed endorsement and shall be counted in the total number of ballots cast. Voting shall be conducted by secret ballot. Candidates for endorsement shall be voted upon individually. An announcement that endorsement(s) will be voted upon must be given within the meeting notice prior to any meeting at which endorsement(s) will be proposed.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Governor, Ron DeSantis had the right to speak in Elmhurst.” To condemn DeSantis is to condemn Republicans.

Soon, under Pritzker, none of the following in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality will be Republicans: elected officials, employees, college graduates, firearm owners, vehicle owners, homeowners, voters, etc.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Ron DeSantis’ dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois. Banning books, playing politics with people’s lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are,” Pritzker wrote on Twitter. “Every candidate hoping to hold public office in the Land of Lincoln should condemn this event.”)

I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and as an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois.

POLITICO FLORIDA
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Trump demonized the media. DeSantis wants to diminish them. Florida Republicans are seeking to weaken laws protecting journalists.” I should write a book about those who have blamed me and who have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most since 2000 for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/23/florida-gop-desantis-proposal-sue-media-00084023
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated Legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’ ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN and The Washington Post — media companies he claims are biased against Republicans — as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill. . .Andrade’s proposal incorporates many of the elements DeSantis called for during the roundtable, including: allowing plaintiffs who sue media outlets for defamation to collect attorney’s fees; adding a provision to state law specifying that comments made by anonymous sources are presumed false for the purposes of defamation lawsuits; lowering the legal threshold for a “public figure” to successfully sue for defamation; repealing the “journalist’s privilege” section of state law, which protects journalists from being compelled to do things like reveal the identity of sources in court, for defamation lawsuits.)

RELIGION NEWS SERVICE
— COMMENT: Democrats say: “Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod president calls for excommunicating white nationalists.” I was baptized in 1948 as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (MSL), raised as a MSL, and confirmed as a MSL in 1962. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have used that against me the most. I would focus on my Democrat superiors in the federal government. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government. political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. In my defense, I stress that when the Trinity Lutheran Church in Crete left the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod in 1961, my parents transferred them, me, and my brother to the Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest to stay with the Missouri Synod.

SMART ASSET
— COMMENTY: Democrats say: “Average Retirement Savings Revealed: Are You Normal?” According to this article, when you retire, you should have saved ten times your salary. My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $142,650. Ten times that is $1,426,500.)

TEEN VOGUE
— COMMENT: Democrats discuss class-based Affirmative Action. What class are you? Since 1978, to paint me as being lower class, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County have stressed that I am 100% German American; that I am Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran); that neither of my parents attended college; that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma; that my mother never attended high school; that none of my degrees are from Ivy League universities; that I lived in Crete 1948-1972; that I lived in University Park full-time 1972-1974 and then part-time 1974-1976; that did yard work and delivered newspapers in Crete 1962-1964; that I washed dishes in Chicago Heights 1964-1966; that I cleaned golf shoes in Flossmoor and chipped slag and pumped gasoline in South Chicago Heights in 1966; that delivered mail in Park Forest 1966-1969; that I worked on an automobile assembly line in Belvidere and as a security guard in DeKalb in 1970, that I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances in Chicago Heights 1970-1971, that I pumped gasoline in Chicago Heights 1971-1972, that I collected delinquent taxes in Chicagoland 1971-1980, that I audited federal agencies 1980-1997; that the Post Office, IRS, and GAO took adverse actions against me; that GAO forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old; all the vehicles that I own are American nameplate; etc.)

MERRIAM-WEBSTER
— Turn Against
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/turn%20against

DIERSEN COMMENT: Who has had the greatest success in turning people against you? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have had the greatest success in turning people against me in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 1978. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I would devote chapters to those who are the following who my critics/opponents have had the most success in turning against me:

— those who reject the individual responsibility plank in the Republican Party platform
— those who reject the traditional marriage/family plank
— those who reject the right to life plank
— those who reject the immigration plank
— those who reject the illegal drugs plank
— those who reject the Second Amendment plank
— those who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank
— those who paint themselves as being religious, but work against religious people
— those who paint themselves as being conservative, but work against conservatives
— those who paint themselves as being Republican, but work against Republicans
— minorities
— females
— younger people
— LGBTQers
— parents
— veterans
— non-married people
— non-Protestants
— non-German Americans
— those whose ancestors have not been America for a long time
— those who have less money than I have
— those who despise/hate union members
— those who despise/hate federal employees and federal retirees
— those who despise/hate American nameplate vehicles and their owners

I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/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, f) and/or who refuse to give them money.

I would focus those who ended my service as a) the Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks Republican fundraiser 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an ICRC Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

I would focus on those who a) ended my bid to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City West District vacancy in 2019, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and d) ended my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

I would focus on those who have had far more advantages in life than I have had, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I owe all my successes in life to my unfairly benefitting from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-married, parents, veterans, non-union members, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, those whose ancestor have not been in America for a long time, etc.

I would focus on those who did the most to stop me from being invited to report on the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. I would focus on how they treated me at that event.

I would especially focus on Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect, but who have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their defeats.

I would especially focus on the aforesaid who are currently taking the most/biggest adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.

(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to get votes from hate-filled White-hating White-haters, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse thing who should be gotten rid of once and for all. How successful have Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs been in promoting such hatred in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and your precinct? I should write a book about their success in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct.)

https://hotair.com/headlines/2023/02/21/trump-is-losing-his-mind-over-desantis-n532309
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is Trump loved DeSantis until he became a threat to his reelection. Now, in his super petty way, he’s calling DeSantis a RINO and suggesting he’s done nothing to make the state the beacon of freedom that it is today. Trump is losing his mind over DeSantis, to the point that he has to smear him and lie about him to attack him.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Supreme Court Seems Wary of Limiting Protections for Social Media Platforms. The case, concerning a law that gives websites immunity for suits based on their users’ posts, has the potential to alter the very structure of the internet.” My critics/opponents are beyond furious that Section 230 limits their ability to sue me. Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, they blamed me for what I did as a) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/us/google-supreme-court-youtube.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal law at issue in the case, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, shields online platforms from lawsuits over what their users post and the platforms’ decisions to take content down. Limiting the sweep of the law could expose the platforms to lawsuits claiming they had steered people to posts and videos that promote extremism, advocate violence, harm reputations and cause emotional distress.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote on Tuesday that DeSantis’s event will “be scrutinized for which donors attend — including how many of them were once Trump backers who may be looking to defect from the former president to the Florida governor.” Isenstadt noted that DeSantis is currently making all the standard moves a candidate makes before jumping into a presidential race. The governor is about to release a book and is traveling the country to raise his national profile. Additionally, DeSantis has already won over many former Trump donors.)

MERRIAM WEBSTER
— Invitation (COMMENT: One could argue that because the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event was an “invitation-only” event, the following should be fully disclosed: a) who determined who was invited to attend and who was not invited to attend and why, b) which past and present Republican elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. who were invited did not attend and why, and c) who determined which reporters were invited to report on the event and who were not invited to report on the event and why. Since 2000, as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have reported on who attended many such events in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that no one should want to be listed in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter as having attended an event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are listed, that information will be viciously used against you. Immediately after my critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service, and my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, they deleted all my reports on who had attended TAPROOT, MTRO, and ICRC events. Do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am an operative/dupe for Trump and b) that Trump will destroy not only DeSantis, LaHood, and Hires, but that Trump will destroy each and every person that I listed as having attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. Further, do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if you attended the event, you are not only not afraid of Trump, but that you are a Trump-hater.)

Lodge 7 has kept the location of DeSantis’ visit under wraps and originally stated that only law enforcement was allowed. However, the event is expected to take place at the Knights of Columbus hall in Elmhurst and families of police are now reportedly welcome.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats and RINOs have candidates win nonpartisan elections and general elections who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigrations, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “The top 10 Democratic presidential candidates for 2024.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/19/top-democrats-2024-ranked/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker Few on this list would seem to be telegraphing their presidential desires — at least in a race without Biden — as strongly as the Illinois governor. His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)

Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The U.S. Navy lowers its standards yet again – Andrea Widburg (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who ran the federal government in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)
