DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— State filings: Republican DuPage County law firm created anonymous LLC that made $5,000 donation to Democrat candidate Conroy (COMMENT: Needless-to-say, those who give money to Democrats should not be allowed to seek or to hold any kind of political office or government office as a Republican. Which “Republican” candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in your municipality, in your township, and in your county have given money to Democrats?)

(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: An Itasca-based law firm with long ties to the DuPage County Republican Party created a company that made an anonymous $5,000 donation in support of Democrat Deborah Conroy’s successful 2022 bid for DuPage County Board Chairman. A lawyer with Luetkehans, Brady, Garner & Armstrong created the “DuPage Advocacy Group LLC” on Oct. 28, 2022, Illinois Secretary of State filings show. Days later, the group made $5,000 donation to Conroy’s campaign committee, Friends of Deborah Conroy. It officially posted on Nov. 10, according to an Illinois State Board of Elections campaign finance filing. Conroy won 172,068 votes (51.3 percent) to 163,233 for Republican Greg Hart of Hinsdale (48.7 percent) in the Nov. 8, 2022 election, becoming the first-ever Democrat DuPage County Chairman. Excepting the DuPage Advocacy Group donation, Luetkehans and Luetkehans, Brady, Garner & Armstrong made a combined 51 campaign donations totaling $38,953 in 2021 and 2022. All were to Republicans, mostly in DuPage County. The firm’s four name partners, including former Illinois GOP Chairman Patrick M. Brady, have voted in a combined 46 GOP primaries and zero Democrat ones, Illinois State Board of Elections records show. Partners Bruce E. Garner, 57, and Brian Armstrong, 54, both of Wheaton, have each voted in eight GOP primaries to zero for Democrats. Luetkehans, 60, of Warrenville, has voted in 18 GOP primaries and zero Democrat ones. He describes himself as a “municipal specialist” who “advises numerous governmental clients,” including the DuPage County Liquor Commissioner, DuPage Airport Authority and DuPage Water Commission. Sources tell DuPage Policy Journal that Luetkehans is close personal friends with DuPage County Republican Chairman Jim Zay, 55, a county board member who Conroy recently re-appointed to the DuPage Water Commission board. First elected to the DuPage County board in 1999, Zay won re-election in County Board District 6 along with two Democrats, Sheila Rutledge and Greg Schwarze. District 6 covers the northwest corner of DuPage County, including parts of Wayne, Bloomingdale, Winfield and Milton Townships. “Pat Brady is a liberal Democrat and has been for some time” Records show Brady, 62, formerly of St. Charles and currently of Chicago, has voted in 12 GOP primaries and zero for Democrats. But he endorsed and appeared in ads for Democrat U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Downers Grove) in 2020, as he was challenged by former State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton), arguing she “questioned the science” about the coronavirus. A statement by state GOP party officials slammed Brady at the time, saying that “identifying and labeling” him as a Republican is “false and misleading.” “Pat Brady is a liberal Democrat and has been for some time,” it said. Last week, Zay said he wouldn’t criticize two DuPage County GOP officials, Sam Tornatore and Donald Puchalski, who made public campaign donations to Conroy. In March, Conroy appointed Puchalski to a paid position on the board of commissioners for the DuPage Airport Authority. Zay, of Carol Stream, is vice president at Service Stampings Illinois Inc. of Roselle, a metal stamping firm.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. The only legitimate reason to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters is to get information to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. Based on how my critics/opponents treat me and how they treat my newsletters, they do NOT read my newsletters for the aforesaid reason. They read my newsletters to get information to use against me. Should I write articles about them? I would focus on those who falsely paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican and who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Mayor Keith Pekau Used Fake News Websites to Control the Narrative, Ensuring Favorable Coverage, Publishing Over 70 Stories Since 2017 (COMMENT: Since I started sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2000, I have stressed that I am a conservative Republican and that my newsletters promote the Republican Party platform. I should write articles about my direct competitors who hint that they are conservative and/or Republican and who have worked the hardest against me since 2000. I would focus on those who reject the following planks in the Republican Party platform: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/05/mayor-keith-pekau-used-fake-news-websites-to-control-the-narrative-ensuring-favorable-coverage-publishing-over-70-stories-since-2017.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since 2017, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has used a political propaganda website masquerading as legitimate news publications, to control the narrative and ensure positive media coverage – publishing over 70 stories dating back to his 2017 campaign for mayor – and most recently, his failed bid for Congress. In a Tuesday column written by the Chicago Tribune editorial board, this online portal allows elected officials, candidates and their campaigns to submit stories exactly as they want them published – including op-eds, without any fact checking – ensuring, as the Tribune highlighted, “that the finished ‘article’ was about as objective and probing as a campaign flyer.” In a legitimate publication, there would be fact checking, verification of original content to avoid plagiarism, and a legal review, before anything is published. . .It’s no wonder Pekau has enjoyed positive “news” coverage over the last several years – he was controlling the narrative and submitting the stories from behind the scenes to make sure he was viewed in the best possible way. That’s not news – it’s political propaganda. And it sounds eerily similar to what Vladamir Putin does in Russia.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— The GOP Has a Gen Z Problem
https://amgreatness.com/2023/05/02/the-gop-has-a-gen-z-problem/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2028, Millennials and Gen Z will represent a plurality of eligible voters. By 2036, those two cohorts will represent more than 60 percent of would-be voters. In other words, the most uninformed group of voters—those with the least amount of life experience—will soon be deciding who sits in the Oval Office and who controls Congress over the course of the next several elections. Broken down by race, ethnicity, or sex, the figures look even worse for the GOP among young adults. Consider that in the last election, 58 percent of white Americans ages 18-29 voted for the party that says a person is racist solely for lacking melanin. Meanwhile, 89 percent of African Americans ages 18-29 voted for the party that wants to defund the police. And 68 percent of Latinos ages 18-29 voted for the party that condescendingly refers to them as “Latinx.” Not surprisingly, Republicans fared equally as bad among young female voters in the 2022 midterms. In 2022, 65 percent of white female voters ages 18-29 voted for the party that wants to let biological men compete against female athletes. Eighty-nine percent of African American females ages 18-29 voted for the party that celebrates abortion on demand, and 80 percent of Latinas voted for the party that can’t even define what a woman is. The numbers will likely only get worse in future elections. It’s not hard to understand why the Right does so poorly with young voters each election cycle. It’s tough to compete with the Left when they offer up a Bernie Sanders socialist goody bag of free college, free healthcare, a guaranteed universal basic income, and the Green New Deal, all paid for by us. Is it any wonder that the pink-haired gender studies majors are down for the cause when their party believes merit-based achievements are immoral, allows individuals to identify any one of 568 genders, thinks illegal immigration is wonderful, and insists that men can get pregnant? Conversely, the Right offers up patriotism, lower taxes, fewer regulations, law and order, clean streets, energy independence, a secure border, and removing wokeness from our institutions. Those might sound appealing to the commoners, but they aren’t exactly the type of issues that will excite any Che Guevera-worshiping, marijuana-loving atheist who spends her spare time scrolling TikTok and railing against the inhumanity of fracking as yet another manifestation of the late-capitalist patriarchy. Good luck boasting to a cohort that is likely still supported by their parents that a vote for Republicans means a lower corporate tax rate, a wall along the southern U.S. border, the end of the “environmental, social, governance” movement, a strong stance against Russia, China, and Iran, and the dismantling of the Deep State.)
