— For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. Democrat leaders of federal agencies decry/despise/hate Republican-led budget cuts. First, they deal with those cuts by getting rid of any remaining Republican employees. Next, they get rid of their Democrat employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. And last, their Democrat employees who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/elevate/federal-downsizing-leaves-still-employed-workers-vulnerable
— Federal job cuts take a bite out of Chicago’s economy. According to my Democrat and RINO critics/opponents, federal jobs should be given to those who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I am none of the aforesaid. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. Because I refused to become a Democrat, they ever-increasingly did everything that they could to get rid of me. I would not have survived for almost 3 years as a postal employee if I had not taken job-related undergraduate business courses at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969. I would not have survived for almost 9 years as an IRS employee if I had not a) taken graduate evening business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and accounting courses DePaul 1976-1980 and b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I would not have survived for almost 18 years as a GAO employee if I had not a earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/elevate/federal-jobs-cuts-ripple-through-chicago-region
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government is the largest employer in the Chicago area, although at nearly 48,000 it’s a modest slice of a 5 million-strong area workforce. At the start of the year, the federal workforce nationwide was 3 million and 82,000 in Illinois. DOGE’s program is disproportionately stinging African American employees like Cherry. Of the federal workforce, 18.6% are Black, while Black people account for 13.7% of the U.S. population. And Black workers are an even bigger presence — 20% or more — at a number of departments including the Postal Service, Education Department, Department of Housing & Urban Development, Treasury Department and Department of Veterans Affairs — all of which have been hit with job cuts since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January. The federal government is a significant employer of women of color, with Black women, Latinas and Asian women all having a greater presence in the federal workforce compared to the private sector, the National Women’s Law Center reports. “Federal employment is one of the few job sectors where Black women have had meaningful access to upward mobility,” Juliana Stratton, lieutenant governor of Illinois, and Cherita Ellens, president and CEO of Women Employed, wrote recently in a Chicago Tribune commentary essay. With above-average pay and solid benefits, federal employment has provided a path to the middle class not just for Black workers but for women and other disadvantaged groups. The government’s commitment to equal opportunity dating to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has made public service an attractive sector for career advancement that may be less accessible in the private sector. The Trump administration’s purge of offices that promote equal opportunity and diversity and inclusion has particularly affected the employment of Black Americans. “The federal government has played a unique role in the labor history of Black Americans,” economic researcher Joseph Dean wrote in a February report by the Washington, D.C., nonprofit National Community Reinvestment Coalition. “The decades-long progress made by Black federal employees is in serious danger of being upended in a fraction of time it took to build,” Dean wrote. “Federal employment opportunities provide substantial economic independence and stability for Black middle class Americans.”)
25 NEWS NOW
— Which Republicans are seeking statewide office in 2026? So far, hardly any. Politicians set to gather at State Fair this week, unofficially kicking off 2026 election season.
https://www.25newsnow.com/2025/08/11/which-republicans-are-seeking-statewide-office-2026-so-far-hardly-any/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thus far, just two lesser-known Republicans have expressed interest in challenging Pritzker in 2026. A similar group of lesser-known candidates is considering a U.S. Senate run, but there has been no news about anyone running for comptroller, treasurer or secretary of state. . .In the Senate race, four Republicans have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and are actively raising money. Former Illinois Republican Party Chair Don Tracy is reportedly considering running for either governor or Senate and is expected to make an announcement soon. Ted Dabrowski, the president of conservative research site Wirepoints, is also considering running for governor. . .Bob Fioretti, who has unsuccessfully run for several offices as a member of both parties, is reportedly circulating petitions to run for attorney general. But even as petition-gathering begins, no other candidates are publicly known to be interested in running for other statewide offices. Notable names, including U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood and former Illinois Republican National Committeeman Richard Porter have declined to run for governor or Senate.)

I was elected PC in 2000 and reelected every 2 years since. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010 and I served on all the MTRO fundraising committees 2000-2010. But those who continue to dominate MTRO a) rudely terminated as me as MTRO webmaster in 2004 and 2010, b) rudely defeated me when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004, c) rudely gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, d) rudely ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, and e) rudely ended my Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee membership in 2024. They have never asked me to serve as an MTRO officer. They continue to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being too conservative. They ever-increasingly blame me, blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, blame my serving as the Milton Township campaign coordinator for Pat O’Malley’s Republican gubernatorial campaign in 2002, blame my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership 2003-2007, blame my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship 2005-2012, and blame my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2012 for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

Virtually all federal employees are Democrats and most are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat who was minority, female, younger, and/or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for my Post Office job by passing the postal employment examination and earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for my IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and earning a bachelor’s degree in management.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rhonda Belford: Democrats can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/07/opinion-illinois-gerrymandering-texas-redistricting/
(FROM THE LETTER: Gov. JB Pritzker is once again talking about gerrymandering — just not in Illinois. This week, he welcomed Texas Democratic legislators to Oakwood, Illinois, to denounce Republican redistricting efforts in that state. But while Pritzker lectures red states about fairness, he continues to ignore the glaring problems in his own backyard. Don’t forget that in 2021, Pritzker signed one of the most blatantly and aggressively gerrymandered congressional maps in the country, drawn and passed by his own party. The map created districts with lines that make my grandchildren’s scribblings look like Pablo Picasso’s. It’s a stark contrast from when Pritzker was on the campaign trail. He promised to veto any map that was “in any way drafted or created by legislators, political party leaders and/or their staffs or allies.” Pritzker campaigned with a message of hope and fairness and moving past Democrats’ history of corruption. Then, at his first opportunity, Pritzker broke that promise without hesitation. “Fairness” wasn’t on Illinois Democrats’ minds. Now, as he positions himself to run for president, Pritzker is outraged. While standing on his giant soapbox and projecting his moral authority, he floated the idea of redrawing even more favorable maps in Illinois. That’s not democratic leadership; it’s partisan gamesmanship. That map gave Democrats a clear advantage in 14 of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts and earned an “F” for fairness from the nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project. The maps weren’t an accident. They deliberately cut out two Republican-leaning seats and helped lock in Democratic control. Let that sink in: The same man who signed, supported and pushed one of the worst partisan gerrymanders in the nation is now upset that other states are following his lead. Instead of looking in the mirror or pushing for national changes, Pritzker responds by threatening additional partisan moves that will continue to divide our state. Illinois families deserve better. They deserve fair representation, not districts drawn in backrooms to silence opposition and insulate power. When maps are rigged to favor one party, voters lose faith in our elections and our country’s founding principles. The truth is, with Democratic supermajorities in Springfield, there’s no one who can force Illinois Democrats to do the right thing and clean up partisan games — they need to do it themselves. If Pritzker truly wants to lead on voting rights and gerrymandering, he should start by honoring the promise he made to Illinois voters: to support an independent redistricting commission and end partisan gerrymandering in our state. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Until then, his speeches about fairness will continue to ring hollow. You can’t fight for democracy in Texas while undermining it in Illinois. The phrase “fix your own house before criticizing your neighbor” has never been more apt. And until Pritzker refuses to rein in Illinois’ partisan splintering map, his lectures about Texas ring hollow. Gerrymandering matters, and both Republicans and Democrats should do their part in making sure that there is a system that doesn’t play political games. But our country won’t learn how to draw better maps from the man who inked Illinois’ most gerrymandered script. Before our governor lectures Texas on fairness, he should take a long, hard look at his own record — and start living up to the promises he made to the people of Illinois. Rhonda Belford is an Illinois Republican national committeewoman and president of the Republican County Chairmen’s Association of Illinois. She leads the 12th District State Central Committee.)

Currently, ICE applicants must be 21 years old and no older than 37 or 40, depending on what position they are applying for. I have ever-increasingly fought age discrimination since I was 25 in 1974 when my Democrat IRS superiors used “up-or-out” to deem me too old to ever be promoted to GS-13. I finally made GS-13 when I was 38, but not until after I a) earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) transferred to GAO and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31, and d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32.

Grant did not return a phone call from The Illinoize, but we’re told she has informed many of her colleagues of her plans. She was elected in 2018 to the Wheaton-based district and has overcome hard charging Democrat challenges in the past three election cycles. After being vastly outspent in 2024, she won re-election by 292 votes. No word yet on who Republicans hope to see the seat. Democrats appear high on their candidate, Wheaton Village Trustee Erica Bray-Parker.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

The bill will cost the city $60 million more in 2027, and by 2055, city pension payments will be $750 million higher than they are now. It adds one more big pressure point onto Mayor Brandon Johnson, who already has said he won’t raise property taxes.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead of the new school year, Decatur Public Schools updated its district policies to emphasize banning marijuana and other “offensive” odors in its facilities. A DPS flyer said that students who come to school smelling like marijuana or other “distracting” odors will be instructed to call home for a change of clothes, or be picked up to change. Visitors who smell of marijuana or other “distracting” odors will be asked to leave the premises. The district justified the changes by saying that marijuana has an odor that causes/triggers allergic reactions, affecting indoor air quality and putting others at risk of getting sick. The district added that marijuana potentially has cancer-causing chemicals that put students, staff and others at risk. That policy went into effect July 1. According to the DPS 61 student code of conduct and parent handbook, those who use marijuana for medical purposes must provide a medical card upon request.)

It is called pretext.

Because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, GAO shrank from more than 6,000 employees down to less than 3,000. The agency was almost always under hiring freezes and/or promotion freezes. The Democrats who ran GAO were beyond furious about that. They took their anger against Gingrich out against me, one of the few remaining Republican employees in the agency. They wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

But Dave a) came back in 1987, b) forced Bill to resign in 1987, c) threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, d) gave me a bad job assignment in 1989, e) gave me unfair performance expectations in 1989, f) gave me an unfair performance appraisal in 1989, g) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance (PFP) in 1989, h) assured that I would always be ranked in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP for the rest of my GAO career, i) assured that I would never again be assigned to audits of IRS, and j) forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
— Merit Hiring Plan. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and they got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat.
https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2025-05/Merit%20Hiring%20Plan%205-29-2025.pdf
(FROM THE MEMORANDUM: The American people deserve a Federal workforce dedicated to American values and efficient service. Yet, Federal hiring criteria long ago abandoned any serious need for technical skills and adherence to the Constitution. Instead, the overly complex Federal hiring system overemphasized discriminatory “equity” quotas and too often resulted in the hiring of unfit, unskilled bureaucrats. The American people, who deserve a government that works for them, have suffered. In his January 20, 2025 Executive Order 14170, Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service (“Restoring Merit”) President Trump directed that “recruitment and hiring processes” become “more efficient and focused on serving the Nation” and that hiring be based on “merit, practical skill, and dedication to our Constitution.” These changes will “ensure that the Federal workforce is prepared to help achieve American greatness, and attract the talent necessary to serve our citizens effectively.” President Trump directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to “develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the Federal workforce only highly capable Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests.” President Trump stated that this Merit Hiring Plan must achieve seven goals: 1. Prioritize recruitment of individuals committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution; 2. Prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals who are unwilling to defend the Constitution or to faithfully serve the Executive Branch; . . . Finally, the Merit Hiring Plan must provide specific best practices for the human resources (HR) function in each agency, which each agency head shall implement. These HR best practices are included as Appendix 1.2 The key elements of the following Merit Hiring Plan are: 1. Reforming the Federal recruitment process to ensure that only the most talented, capable and patriotic Americans are hired to the Federal service; 2. Implementing skills-based hiring, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements, and requiring the use of rigorous, job-related assessments to ensure candidates are selected based on their merit and competence, not their skin color or academic pedigree;)

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly fight deportation of their illegals. Illegals take bad jobs. Employers want cheap labor. All my employers would have hired illegals instead of me if they could have. My critics/opponents cannot say that because they did not have to take bad jobs because their parents had lots of money. Because my parents lacked money, I had to take bad jobs. I did yard work for 2 summers. I delivered newspapers for 4 years. I washed dishes for 18 months. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during 1 summer. I delivered mail for almost 3 years. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had the most money. They look down on people like me if not despise people like me.

— To get more votes from those who are liberal, minority, female, younger, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more hatred against those who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

My Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors always and increasingly wanted me to depart because I failed/refused to become a Democrat, because I was not a minority, female, or veteran, and because I increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They ever-increasingly did everything that they could to get rid of me. My Democrat Post Office superiors denied my sick leave requests and forced me to resign. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers and education deductions and never promoted me beyond GS-12. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, 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, and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

— Federal court says Arkansas can enforce ban on critical race theory in classrooms. To promote critical race theory is to promote more hatred against those who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

— Employee Training As A Strategic Investment For Long-Term Growth. IRS invested in me. The first 6 months that I worked for IRS in 1971 was classroom training. SEE: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22revenue+officer%22+IRS+training After working for IRS 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 transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted what I learned working for IRS. They kept me off audits for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.
