(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans from across the Chicago region and beyond are expected to converge on the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock Sunday for a show of support for former President Donald Trump just before the Democratic National Conventions gets underway in Chicago. The Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at the fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Tickets range from $30 for general admission to $300 for a VIP seat, according to the Parading for Trump website. Those supporting the former president in his reelection bid plan to caravan to the event. Caravans of his supporters are set to arrive from Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, Petersen Park in McHenry, the Campton Township Highway Department parking lot in Lily Lake in Kane County, Antioch’s Metra station, the Tinley Park Convention Center, the shopping center at 2341 Sycamore Road in DeKalb and from Halsted and Division streets in Chicago. Paraders are asked to decorate their vehicles in pro-Trump gear. The speakers list includes conservative commentator and Chicago-area native Charlie Kirk, GOP strategist Roger Stone, Mike Lindell of MyPillow and retired Army lieutenant general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. Entertainment for the day will be from musicians Thompson Square, Nate Venturelli, Diva Montell and Anthony “Frank” Cassano. There’s no indication that Trump or his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, will appear. Gary Rabine, a Bull Valley businessman and former candidate for Illinois governor, is hosting the rally. According to the event website, the event is paid for by The American Dream PAC, with profits from the event “dispersed … to organizations focused on Get out the Vote in our communities and swing states, conservative candidates and organizations focused on helping Trump become our 47th President.”)

— McHenry asks county GOP to find a new gathering place for Trump caravan as park booked for festival. – Janelle Walker
https://www.shawlocal.com/northwest-herald/2024/08/14/mchenry-asks-county-gop-to-find-a-new-gathering-place-for-trump-caravan-as-park-booked-for-festival/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: McHenry city officials were surprised when they read news reports Tuesday that Petersen Park was set as a meetup point Sunday to caravan to the Trump Now-Save the American Dream Rally in Woodstock. Petersen Park is playing host to the annual Bands, Brews & BBQ event this weekend, with its largest day expected on Sunday, McHenry Deputy Chief Tom Walsh said. It could see even larger crowds later in the day, as McHenry’s community fireworks show is due to take place at the park after being was postponed because of poor weather during Fiesta Days in July. In social media posts and emails, organizers of the rally – in support of former President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates on the ballot in November, and held on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago – encouraged GOP faithful to meet up beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at McHenry’s Petersen Park and convoy at 11:30 a.m. to the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. Caravans of supporters are also expected to descend on Woodstock from various meetup spots across the Chicago region and in DeKalb. The gates for Bands, Brews and BBQ are set to open at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, McHenry Area Rotary President Diana Mark said. Vendors, the band and others will be setting up before then will be in and out of the parking area earlier, Mark said. Following inquiries from the Northwest Herald, organizers of the pro-Trump rally distributed a new flier saying the McHenry meetup would instead be at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Althoff Park. The event’s website, paradingfortrump.com , still listed Petersen Park as of Tuesday evening, however. Prior to the location change, Walsh had said: “I am concerned about space. I don’t know details about where they are meeting up” or whether cars will be left at the Petersen lot during the day. “We can’t have this conflict in the parking lot,” he said. McHenry Chief of Police John Birk asked Walsh to reach out to the Trump event organizers. The rally is set for 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road, Woodstock. Organizers did not need a temporary use permit for the rally, as the fairground is exempt from the permit process, Alicia Schueller, director of public affairs for McHenry County. Food and liquor licenses have been secured for the event. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has asked Woodstock Police for additional support during the rally, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Tuesday. That’s not unusual for large events, Stelford said, adding that two Woodstock police officers are helping at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. Those same two officers also aided with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Stelford said.)

— Negotiating job offers (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079–$110,020/year. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used my having to take that pay cut against me viciously. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning that master’s degree from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981. They succeeded in a) delaying my promotions back to GS-12 until 1982, b) assigning me to audits IRS until 1986 and then after 1988, c) delaying my promotion to GS-13 until 1986, and d) never promoting me to GS-14.)

— I should form a National Association of Conservative Journalists. I am a member of the Society of Professional Journalists. I am an independent conservative Republican political and government news and commentary aggregator. I should write about my critics/opponents who have slandered me the most as not being a legitimate journalist. They ignore/dismiss/belittle/badmouth the fact a) that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and that since January 1, 2005, GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have included links to almost 492,000 articles, b) that I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year, and c) that what GAO Analysts do is very similar to what journalists do. I would focus on my critics/opponents who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who have lots religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Donald Trump to visit Chicago for National Association of Black Journalists Convention. Former President Donald Trump will participate in a conversation and question-and-answer session with political journalists on the opening day of the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention & Career Fair.” I am a conservative political/government journalist. There are extremely few conservative political/government journalists in Illinois. I believe in full disclosure. Anticipate/expect that those who share my demographics are more likely to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters because they share my conservative political/government opinions. In addition to being conservative, I am Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, I have three master’s degrees (business, accounting, and finance), six professional certifications (accounting, internal auditing, fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting), and a professional license (accounting). Further, I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Further, I served as the chairman of a conservative political organization (TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois) for 7 years and on the leadership team of another conservative organization (Illinois Center Right Coalition) for 4 years. Further, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office). Further, I was a union member for almost 12 years. Further, I worked my way through college. Further, I have lived in Wheaton since 1978 and in Illinois since 1948.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/05/16/more-americans-want-the-journalists-they-get-news-from-to-share-their-politics-than-any-other-personal-trait/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans say it is not important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their political views, age, gender or other traits. But people are more likely to say it is important for journalists to share their politics than any other characteristic we asked about. And certain demographic groups place more value than others on the personal traits of their journalists. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans how important it is for the journalists they get news from to have six personal characteristics that are similar to their own. About four-in-ten Americans say it is at least somewhat important that they get news from journalists who share their political views (39%). That is nearly double the share who say the same about getting news from journalists who share their religious views (22%) or who talk or sound like them (20%). Smaller shares say they want to get news from journalists who are similar to them in age (15%), share their race or ethnicity (14%), or share their gender (10%). On several of these questions, opinions vary based on respondents’ political views, age and other personal traits. Political views Similar shares of Republicans and Democrats say it is at least somewhat important for the news they get to come from journalists who share their political views. Four-in-ten Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say this, compared with 41% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. When combining party and ideology, people who place themselves at either end of the political spectrum are more likely than those toward the center to say journalists’ politics are important. Roughly half each of conservative Republicans (47%) and liberal Democrats (50%) say it is important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their politics. Smaller shares of liberal and moderate Republicans (29%) and conservative and moderate Democrats (33%) hold this view. Age A bar chart showing that younger people more likely to want news from journalists of a similar age. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to say they want news from journalists who are around the same age as them. Among U.S. adults ages 18 to 29, 23% say this is at least somewhat important, compared with one-in-ten of those ages 65 and older. Younger adults are also more likely than older adults to say it’s important that the journalists they get news from are the same gender as them; still, large majorities say this is not important. Some 16% of those ages 18 to 29 say it is at least somewhat important for journalists to share their gender, versus 6% of those 65 and older. Race or ethnicity Black Americans are more likely than other racial or ethnic groups to say it is important they get news from journalists who share several of their characteristics – particularly their race or ethnicity. About four-in-ten Black Americans (41%) say it is at least somewhat important that the news they get comes from journalists who share their race or ethnicity. A quarter of Hispanic Americans, 20% of Asian Americans and just 5% of White Americans say the same. For more information on how Black Americans answered these questions, read our report on Black Americans and news. Religion A bar chart showing that White evangelicals, Black Protestants are most likely to want news from journalists with shared religious views. Overall, Americans who identify with a religion are more likely than those who are religiously unaffiliated to find it at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views (26% vs. 15%). Among Christians, Protestants are more likely than Catholics to say it is important for journalists to share their religious views (30% vs. 21%). But there are also differences among Protestants and among Catholics: White evangelical Protestants (37%) and Black Protestants (33%) are about twice as likely as White nonevangelical Protestants (16%) to say this. About three-in-ten Hispanic Catholics say this (28%), compared with 17% of White Catholics. Among Jewish Americans, just 10% say it’s at least somewhat important to get news from journalists who share their religious views.)

(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — Yesterday, Illinois Democrats denied reality voting against condemning Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed cities like Chicago and others across the nation. Every Democrat (except one who lacked the courage to vote on the position) voted down the resolution, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Democrats in this state have told us to believe our lying eyes so many times, they’ve started to do it themselves. From denying unquestionable outmigration numbers to gaslighting families with tax hikes they call tax cuts, the lies have become so extreme that Democrats in this state actually believe Vice President Harris’s handling of the border was not an unmitigated disaster. Under the Biden/Harris administration, border interactions have skyrocketed, reaching an all time peak of 250,000 just this past December. Democrats who voted to applaud Vice President Harris’s border policy should know that her failures are your failures this November.“)

— How Vice President Kamala Harris got started in politics. – William La Jeunesse
https://www.yahoo.com/news/vice-president-kamala-harris-got-165231260.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Kamala Harris got her start in politics at age 29, when she was just out of law school, at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she met a 60-year-old kingmaker: California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown — arguably then the state’s most powerful politician. Brown, while estranged from his wife, remained married. However, socially, he and Harris were seen everywhere and never denied being close. Brown appointed Harris to several well-paid state commissions: the state Insurance Commission, the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later, the California Medical Assistance Commission. Harris came from a learned household. She was born in Oakland, California, to an Indian-born mother and a Jamaican-born father. Both were professors — one at Berkeley, the other at Stanford. Harris’ parents divorced when she was 7. Following her parents’ split, she moved to Illinois, then to Quebec, Canada, alongside her sister and mother. After high school, Harris attended Howard University, where she joined the debate team and claimed to demonstrate “almost every weekend.” Later, she attended Hastings College of Law, where, like many of her classmates, she failed her first attempt at the California bar exam, but she passed the second time. In 1998, Harris took a job at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, but was later demoted after opposing a measure to try juveniles as adults for felony crimes. After quitting, Harris took a job in the city attorney’s office, and with Brown’s help, raised $600,000 to defeat her former boss to become San Francisco DA. The city’s campaign ethics board fined Harris $30,000 – the highest fine ever levied at the time – for violating campaign finance limits. “I made a very conscious and deliberate decision to become a prosecutor,” she said during a 2003 debate. “I think San Francisco wants a progressive district attorney who is also effective.” As San Francisco DA, she became a controversial figure for opposing the death penalty — even for cop killers — and pursued three-strikes convictions only when they involved violent felonies. After a man murdered officer Isaac Espinoza and Harris refused to pursue the death penalty, Harris received a rare rebuke from Sen. Dianne Feinstein. “I think this district attorney made a very big mistake. As a matter of fact, if I had known she had said that in her campaign, I never would have supported her,” Feinsein said at the time. As district attorney, Harris prosecuted marijuana crimes but rarely sought prison time. In 2010, she became the first woman to serve as California’s attorney general, where she opposed the state’s ban on affirmative action and asked the state Supreme Court to “reaffirm its decision that public colleges and universities may consider race as one factor in admissions decisions.” The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled affirmative action unconstitutional. As AG, she prioritized environmental crimes, obtaining millions in fines from oil companies for failing to monitor underground storage leaks. In 2016, she ran for U.S. senator and won by outmaneuvering Rep. Loretta Sanchez for the union and Latino vote. Harris also had the support of then-President Obama, who called her brilliant, dedicated and tough, adding, “She also happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country.” Harris’ appeal is partly demographic, but her law enforcement background also made her an appealing running mate in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests and rising crime in some cities. In 2019, Harris dismissed criticism of her record as a prosecutor for jailing marijuana offenders and even joked about her own previous cannabis use. “Have you ever smoked?” she was asked on the “Breakfast Club” radio show in 2019. “I have, and I inhaled. I did it, I did it, and it was a long time ago,” she admitted. As district attorney, however, she pushed for higher bail for gun crimes and sought minimum 90-day sentences for possession of concealed or loaded weapons. Later, as a presidential candidate, Harris said she would pursue universal background checks and a ban on assault-style rifles. “I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” she said during a CNN town hall in December 2019. CNN anchor Jake Tapper also suggested to Harris that her “Medicare-for-all” proposal might eliminate private health insurance. Harris’ defense was, “The idea is, everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them giving you approval, going through the paperwork … let’s eliminate that. Let’s move on.” Her signature tax proposal cost an estimated $3 billion. It would have provided a $3,000 tax credit for individuals and $6,000 for married couples. She also proposed lowering pay disparities by requiring large companies to pay men and women in similar jobs equally. Another proposal aimed at raising teacher pay by $13,500. In a 2020 campaign video she explained her economic approach, saying, “It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” As a candidate for president in 2020, Harris dropped out before the Iowa caucuses. As a candidate, some viewed her policies as too far left, where she seemed to favor big government to solve income and gender inequality.)

I had to work my way through college. My parents never attended college. I lived with them in Crete while took classes at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I worked all the part-time hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-sorority-aka-alpha-kappa-alpha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Harris joined AKA as an undergraduate student at Howard in 1986. She has acknowledged the “major influence” AKA has had on her life, even since childhood, when her aunt, Christine Simmons, was initiated at Howard in 1950. When Harris ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020, many referred to the sorority as her “secret weapon.” And when Harris accepted the vice presidential nomination later that year, she made sure to acknowledge the sorority, saying, “Family is my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha … our Divine 9 … and my HBCU brothers and sisters.” Earlier this month, Harris delivered the keynote address at the AKA’s biennial national convention in Dallas. In her speech to over 20,000 members, Harris called fellow AKAs to action.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Governor Pritzker Treats Illinois Like a Stepping Stone
https://illinois.gop/governor-pritzker-treats-illinois-like-a-stepping-stone/
(THE PRESS RELEASE: CHICAGO — As Democrats from across the country scramble to get into Vice President Kamala Harris’s good graces, JB Pritzker has joined the fray hitting the liberal national media circuit as the latest Governor to kiss the ring in a desperate attempt to leave his state for Washington. Pritzker has made no secret that he has ambitions beyond *just* governing our state. Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “No one is surprised that JB Pritzker is chomping at the bit to leave Illinois. He’s shown more interest in campaigning around the country this year than he has in reducing the tax burden that has made Illinois the least “tax friendly” state in the country and 2nd in the country for residents leaving. We welcome Vice President Harris considering Governor Pritzker, because his poor track record would all but guarantee our neighbors, Wisconsin and Michigan, swing Republican, as they’ve benefitted from the mismanagement of our state by an out of touch billionaire. He’s all yours, madam Vice President.”)
CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Pritzker says he wants to make Illinois the best state in the country for Blacks to sell pot. (COMMENT: Have you used pot? I have not used pot and I never will. If I had used pot, I doubt that I would have been able to a) earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) earn job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) earn job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, or 1997, or d) earn a job-related professional license in 1981. S.S. Kresge, Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO would not have hired me in 1964, 1966, 1970, 1971, and 1980 respectively. I would not have been able to buy new cars in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1978, etc. I would not have been able to buy condos in 1972, 1974, or 1976. I would not have been able to a) get married and buy a home with my wife in Wheaton in 1978 , b) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, e) etc.)

JUDICIAL WATCH
— Pentagon DEI Budget Surges for Military-Wide Woke Training to Root out “White Privilege” (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they ever-increasingly used Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI to get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job related bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license. I should write a book about that. Further, while I have served as a Republican Precinct Committeeman for the last 24+ years, RINO leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to get rid of conservative committeemen, and especially those like me who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about that.)
https://www.judicialwatch.org/pentagon-dei-budget-surges-for-military-wide-woke-training-to-root-out-white-privilege/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Pentagon dedicates tens of millions of dollars annually to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the armed forces and cadets at the nation’s military academies receive extensive training about racism, sexism, unconscious bias, and intersectionality. A year-long research project conducted by a special commission at a public university think tank has uncovered the unbelievable details behind a costly Department of Defense (DOD) initiative to root out so-called white privilege white supremacy in the military. The study, conducted by the Center for American Institutions at Arizona State University (ASU), began as a review of civic education in the military and uncovered a fervent woke movement throughout the nation’s armed forces. “Our research team did not expect to find Critical Race Theory so embedded and pervasive,” the center’s director, Donald T. Critchlow, an ASU American political history professor, writes in the introduction of a recently published report. He confirms that there is CRT and DEI training across the military from the Pentagon through the ranks. It is important to note that the sole purpose of the U.S. armed forces is to defend the nation against external enemies, therefore the DOD’s mission is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the country’s security. The agency is the government’s largest with 3.4 million service members and civilians—in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard—stationed at 4,800 sites in over 160 countries. Under the Biden administration the DOD budget for DEI training has increased significantly from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86.5 million in fiscal year 2023, the report states. The agency is requesting a whopping $114.7 million for fiscal year 2024, according to DOD figures obtained by ASU researchers. “Training is implemented by a vast DEI bureaucracy that extends from senior leaders at the Pentagon to the lowest ranks,” the report says, adding that the “U.S. military now has a well-developed, taxpayer-funded DEI bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out ‘white privilege’ and white supremacy, and that allows for (and sometimes teaches) the overt criticism of the United States, its founding, its founders, and its founding documents, alleging that they are all rooted in systemic racism.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2024/07/26/donald-trump-is-right-about-jewish-voting-n2642512
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump for years has said that American Jews are voting against their interests. This time around, maybe things will finally change. Donald Trump tends to be blunt in his statements, and he has for years said that the American Jewish community is voting against its interests. And he is right. While orthodox Jews support Trump by well over 90 percent, the Orthodox make up a relatively small proportion of the overall Jewish community. And there is no question that the larger movements—Reform and Conservative—are far more liberal and left-leaning. Sixty-eight percent of American Jews voted for Biden over Trump in 2020. This is on the low side; the percentage of Jews voting Democratic has historically been higher.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker, 59, has been the governor of Illinois since 2019. He’s hasn’t shied away from attacking former President Donald Trump and has been a strong voice on issues like gun control and reproductive rights, signing related measures into law in recent years. He does not hail from a battleground state, but as a billionaire member of the family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain, he could help fund the campaign.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/jb-pritzker-2024-democratic-presidential-race-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker, 59, was first elected governor in 2018, defeating Republican incumbent Bruce Rauner. Before that, the was a longtime donor to the Democratic party, and a prominent philanthropic donor. With his substantial wealth, progressive stances, and growing national profile since taking office, Pritzker could prove to be an appealing choice for Democrats as Biden’s replacement on the ticket. Pritzker was a major supporter of both of Hillary Clinton’s campaigns for president in 2008 and 2016. He and his wife, MK Pritzker, contributed more than $15 million to the pro-Clinton Priorities USA Action PAC during the 2016 campaign, according to federal campaign finance records.)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/kamala-harris-running-mates-democratic-presidential-ticket-rcna162848
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker, 59, was an active Biden campaign surrogate, traveling to battleground states to stump for him. He founded a nonprofit committee, Think Big America, to advocate for abortion rights and to combat extremism, with a focus on battleground states. Pritzker, a second-term governor who is popular in the state, has been outspoken about protecting women’s reproductive rights and has held up Illinois as a beacon for women seeking access to care. Pritzker has signed a host of progressive initiatives into law, including a ban on assault weapons, ghost guns and switches; an increase in the minimum wage; a measure to enshrine abortion protections into law; and measures to legalize cannabis and expunge records. He has invested in early childhood education, working toward universal preschool in the state. Pritzker has also demonstrated considerable political savvy, having landed the 2024 Democratic National Convention in his state after repeated lobbying. Pritzker is widely considered to be a future presidential contender. As a billionaire who has self-financed his campaigns in the past, he is positioned to effortlessly step into a national campaign and immediately be flush with cash. Pritzker endorsed Harris on Monday.)

— Democrats ask “What pushed President Biden to withdraw from the reelection race?” What pushed you to make big decisions? According to my Democrat GAO superiors, their threats and the adverse actions that they had taken against me had nothing to do with my decision to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997. Their “offer” ended on September 30, 1997 and I would not be eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They made it extremely clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would make my next 6 years a living hell. Their threat to constructively downgrade me was the least of it. They had a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, b) never promoted me to GS-14 and delayed my promotions to GS-13, 12, and 11, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my earning a) job-related master’s degrees in 1997, 1980, and 1976, b) job-related professional certifications in 1997, 1996, 1994, 1990, 1981, and 1979, and c) a job-related professional license (CPA) in 1981. They ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed my knowledge of IRS that I had acquired working for IRS for almost 9 years. the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
— DuPage County GOP Statement on Biden Withdrawal
https://dupagegop.com/
(PRESS RELEASE: During the debate a few weeks ago, it became evident to all of us what the Democratic Party elite have known for some time: Joe Biden is unfit for the presidency. Only when this became universally apparent did the Democratic Party elite like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and other Washington insiders decide to pressure Biden to withdraw, thereby disenfranchising the millions of Democratic primary voters who backed him. In the next few days, we will see these same elites, who have incessantly preached about “saving democracy,” abandon our country’s democratic principles by imposing their preferred presidential candidate on the American electorate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker, 59, was an active Biden campaign surrogate, traveling to battleground states to stump for him. He founded a nonprofit committee, Think Big America, to advocate for abortion rights and to combat extremism, with a focus on battleground states. Pritzker, a second-term governor who is popular in the state, has been outspoken about protecting women’s reproductive rights and has held up Illinois as a beacon for women seeking access to care. Pritzker has signed a host of progressive initiatives into law, including a ban on assault weapons, ghost guns and switches; an increase in the minimum wage; a measure to enshrine abortion protections into law; and measures to legalize cannabis and expunge records. He has invested in early childhood education, working toward universal preschool in the state. Pritzker has also demonstrated considerable political savvy, having landed the 2024 Democratic National Convention in his state after repeated lobbying. Pritzker is widely considered to be a future presidential contender. As a billionaire who has self-financed his campaigns in the past, he is positioned to effortlessly step into a national campaign and immediately be flush with cash. In a statement issued after Biden’s announcement, Pritzker didn’t address whether he would run for president or endorse Harris.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: Illinois Democrats in Disarray on Biden CHICAGO — After a week of unity in Milwaukee, Republicans in Illinois and across the country are ready to win in November. Democrats on the other hand don’t even know who will be at the top of the ticket yet. Joe Biden’s poll numbers keep getting worse and big name Democrats are calling it quits on the President. Sean Casten joined a growing chorus of Democrats calling for Biden to step down this morning, a chorus that includes Reps. Chuy Garcia, Mike Quigley, and Eric Sorenson. But former Biden/Pritzker staffer Nikki Budzinski and Senator Dick Durbin are #RidinWithBiden. And Governor Pritzker? He’s supporting the “Democratic nominee” who is “apparently” Joe Biden. Sounds like a full throated endorsement to us. With less than a month to go until Democrats descend on Chicago, their party here in Illinois and across the country is in complete and utter disarray. 31 days to go.

— Trump’s RNC spreads emotional, big-tent MAGA message — a show lauded even by Democrats. – Stephen Dinan (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Unlike the Democrat Party, the Republican Party’s big-tent policy lets people hold leadership positions who reject many if not most if not virtually all the planks in its platform. Most commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Leaders of the following who reject the aforesaid planks use the Republican Party’s big-tent policy to get rid of Precinct Committeemen like me who support the aforesaid planks: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on the aforesaid leaders, the planks that they reject, and the adverse actions that they took against me because I support those planks.)

— Democrats ask “Too old to work?” and say “Some Americans on the job late in life bristle at calls for Biden to step aside.” What is Trump’s position on age discrimination? When I was 25 years old in 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used up-or-out to write me off as being too old to be promoted to GS-!3. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate.

I should write a book about that. If I had been a woman, GAO would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 in 1988 a) because I earned master’s degrees in business in 1976 and in accounting in 1980, b) because I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) because I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) because I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Trump Campaign Not Getting Involved in IL GOP Chairman’s Race, Proving Rumors False, Sources Confirm
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/07/trump-campaign-not-getting-involved-in-il-gop-chairmans-race-proving-rumors-false-sources-confirm.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race to replace Don Tracy as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party is heating up just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, as several potential candidates are making their case to Illinois Republicans on who’s the best fit to lead the embattled state party through the November election and beyond. And multiple sources confirm with this publication that senior officials within the Trump campaign and the RNC have made it clear Wednesday morning that they will not be weighing in on the state party chairman’s race as rumors began circulating across the state the last few days that “campaign officials” were backing a candidate to replace Tracy. The chatter also included rumors that even President Donald Trump would be weighing in and endorsing a candidate – but those rumors have proven to be false. The Trump campaign and the RNC have been busy preparing for the convention in Milwaukee next week and finalizing the vice presidential candidate selection process as the world awaits President Trump’s pick to complete his ticket. Illinois is also not a state in play for Trump as he focuses his time and energy on key battleground states in the final months of the campaign. Last month, Don Tracy submitted his resignation as party chairman effective July 19th – blaming the rise of the “grassroots,” party infighting and the removal of state central committee member Mark Shaw as vice chairman of the party without “due process” as the embattled leader of the IL GOP presided over widespread and massive losses during his brief tenure as chairman. Tracy also blamed the rise of the “grassroots,” writing, “Like Vince Kolber, my friend and former Finance Committee Chair, I am also concerned about the current infatuation of some members of the SCC, few as they are, with certain individuals they call ‘Grass roots’ leaders.” The outgoing state party chairman has yet to endorse President Trump and has spent the last year attending Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis events, and hosting the governor at an IL GOP fundraiser in Naples. Days before Tracy’s unexpected resignation, Kolber, who served as chairman of the IL GOP Finance Committee, abruptly resigned in an angry letter to Tracy, just weeks after the influential conservative grassroots base of the Illinois Republican Party scored major victories during the GOP State Convention in Collinsville – and after two years of unflattering stories by this publication. Kolber, who is registered to vote in Illinois and Wisconsin, was still angry about losing his election at the state convention for national committeeman after being eliminated in the first round to Mark Shaw, who faked a delegate badge and threatened to beat up a fellow state central committee member. During the first day of the convention, the Republican National Committeeman nominating committee voted 14-3 to keep Kolber on the ballot despite failing to meet the candidacy requirements as outlined by the IL GOP’s own bylaws. Applicants for state party chairman must submit their completed application to the state party headquarters by email no later than July 10th at 5:00 pm CDT.
CAPITOL FAX
— Speaking of the Illinois Republican Party, a member of the Freedom Caucus is calling on Don Tracy to delay his resignation as state party chair…State Representative Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur) says the future of the Republican Party in Illinois requires thoughtful consideration and should not be done on the fly which is why he is calling on current Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy to delay his resignation. “There is no question we have some issues to resolve in our party. Some require immediate attention and others can be addressed after November. My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed. We are setting up whoever takes over the chairmanship for failure. The duties of the Republican Party are to support our county organizations, provide legal assistance for ballot challenges as well as support other legal matters and to promote Republican ideas and candidates. Don Tracy has performed these duties well, and he can continue to provide the stability we need to get through the next several months. The announced candidates to replace Tracy have not been properly vetted and have not provided a vision for the party for the future. The reality is the truncated timetable prohibits them from making a strong case for their candidacy. We gain nothing by rushing this important decision and we risk losing traction in a state that we can ill afford to cede anymore ground to the Democrats. The solution is for Don Tracy to remain as State Party Chairman. For the good of the Party, I call on Don Tracy to delay his resignation and continue to serve at least through the end of the year.” Kinda surprising, considering the source. I’ve asked a party spokesperson for comment. Meanwhile, Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) told me today he is interested in serving as interim party chair through the November election. Sen. Jason Plummer and Aaron Del Mar also have their hats in the ring. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: Who do you want to serve as the next Illinois Republican Party chairman? Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I served as the chairman of TAPROOT republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed me for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents do not blame the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Milton Township Republican Organization for Republican losses. They blame conservatives and they blame the Republican Party platform.)

They do not want anyone to first learn of anything from my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should write about the aforesaid leaders.

ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST/IPSOS
— Nearly 3 in 5 Americans view both Biden, Trump as too old. However, significantly more call for Biden to step aside, rather than Trump, according to ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll (COMMENT: Health should be the issue, not age. Who first deemed you to be too old, for what, when, and what pretext did they use to justify it? My Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be a GS-1`3 in 1974 when I was 25 years old. They used their “up-or-out” policy to justify that. But they used that policy only against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. Their doing that rendered worthless my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hatred of the news media may be at an all-time high, and a majority of voters say media bias is still getting worse. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. voters believe the problem of bias in the news media is getting worse – slightly higher than our December survey. Just nine percent (9%) think the problem is getting better, while 27% say the problem of media bias is about the same as usual.)

Far too few of the aforesaid leaders and activists support Trump supporters. Far too many despise/hate Trump supporters. – Dave Diersen

— My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I took jobs that should have been given to Blacks. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire early and gave my job and gave my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. My critics/opponents who have never held jobs like the ones I did make it very clear that they would never stoop to take the jobs that I took.
