CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DuPage County auditor’s office requests help after nearly four years of dysfunction – GEORGE WIEBE  (COMMENT: I have watched the DuPage County Auditor’s office for 38 years, since 1986 when I was a GAO Analyst and the membership director of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Chicago Chapter. I had served its Treasurer 1983-1986. I had worked for GAO for 6 years. I had become a Certified Internal Auditor and licensed CPA in 1981. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had worked for IRS 1971-1980. I worked hard as AGA Chicago Chapter’s membership director 1986-1996 to recruit DuPage County auditor office professional employees to join AGA. I worked hard to elect Jim Rasins County Auditor in 2000 and 2004. I worked hard to elect Bob Grogan County Auditor in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Of course, I am working hard to elect Grogan this year. Grogan’s deputy was Peter Balgemann who is one of my relatives.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/25/dupage-county-auditors-office-requests-help-after-nearly-four-years-of-dysfunction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For nearly four years, the DuPage County Auditor’s office has not provided a quarterly financial report, a detailed accounting of the county government’s revenues, appropriations, expenditures, and encumbrances. The reports, which are mandated by the State of Illinois, came to a halt shortly after a razor thin election in 2020, in which the current auditor Bill White won by a 75-vote margin, later reduced to 58 votes following a recount against Bob Grogan. Not long after the election, several key staff members from the auditor’s office resigned. “We had a king-sized bed of obligations and a queen-sized sheet of resources,” White said during Tuesday’s county board meeting. “Our target is to complete the quarterly reports by the end of July, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way, the manual way.” The auditor’s office was offered additional staff, according to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy, but the real hindrance was technology. Going forward the auditor’s office is requesting additional software to help automate the reporting process, White said. But some county board members were left questioning why it has taken so long to get up to speed. “If you needed help why didn’t you come to the board … four years without quarterly reports, it is unacceptable,” District 5 Commissioner Dawn DeSart said during the meeting. Every year the county receives an external audit report from the Chicago-based accounting firm Baker Tilly, however, these reports lack the detailed examination expected from the auditor’s office. “The internal audit looks way more into the minuscule, detailed items, plus the external auditor does not detect fraud … this is where our internal auditor comes in,” District 1 Commissioner Cindy Cahill said during Tuesday’s meeting. Also delayed is the auditor’s report on the county clerk’s office, which came under the scrutiny of the board and DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, after $224,000 in invoices submitted for purchases were not properly approved or made without going through a bidding process. The report cannot be publicly released until the clerk’s office receives and has a chance to reply to its contents, according to White. The clerk’s office will have a week to respond, White said. “We need it done, the people of DuPage need it done, this is what you’re elected to do and frankly there’s no excuse,” Cahill said.)

Too often, they have blamed me and have blamed my newsletters for their event failures.)

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media exists to elect Democrats by promoting the Democrat Party platform, that is, by promoting dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— When is the last time that the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in your precinct spoken out against Democrat promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Demographics are ever-increasingly everything. Ever-increasingly, your demographics determine how everyone treats you, that is, ever-increasingly, your demographics determine your future. Ever-increasingly, everyone dumps those who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I was born in 1948 and even though neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and my IRS superiors wrote me off as being too old to be promoted again in 1974 when I was 25 years old, I was able to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. If I was born today, because of my demographics, I would not be able to do the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com



GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats ever-increasingly dominate Chicagoland. Based on your career, what career advice do you give? Based on my career 1964-1997 working for Chicagoland Democrats, my advice is to leave Chicagoland if you are a Republican, and especially if you are a Republican who is heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or your ancestors have been in America for a long time. Because I have the aforesaid demographics, my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, my Democrat IRS, Firestone Store, and Post Office superiors wasted my career. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969.  They wasted what I learned a) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) earning job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and c) earning job related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. – Dave Diersen

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTOS OF TRACY AND DEL MAR: Republican Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate, hopes to lead the state party. – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240620/illinois-state-politics/state-gop-chair-walking-away-blames-republican-backstabbing-friction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy’s Wednesday resignation bombshell, blaming infighting in the ranks, leaves a leadership gap that could be filled by a suburban contender. Palatine Republican and former lieutenant governor candidate Aaron Del Mar announced Thursday he will seek the chairman’s job. “Moving forward, if my peers believe in me and give me the opportunity to lead this party, the Democrats better be ready. I’m no milquetoast,” said Del Mar, a State Central Committee member. . .Other names that have surfaced as chair are state Sen. Jason Plummer of Edwardsville, who could not be reached for comment, and former Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. Ives said Thursday she would not seek the position and disagreed with contentions the party was in disarray. “At the state central party level, we’re all in agreement about what we need to do to beat the Democrats,” said Ives, a former state representative and a State Central Committee member. “We’re here to be the opposition party to their policy prescriptions that have destroyed … the working-class opportunities in this state.” . . . Tracy appointed State Central Committee member Jan Weber to lead the search for a replacement. That person “needs to be a unifier of all Republicans for the good of the party otherwise we will stay in a super minority position for a long time to come,” Republican state Rep. Bradley Stephens of Rosemont said.)

— Anticipate/expect that hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters will ever-increasingly use Tracy and use his resignation to promote more and more and more hatred against conservatives. Since at least the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party has ever-increasingly moved more and more and more to the left, that is, it has rejected more and more and more planks in the Republican Party platform.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/06/20/illinois-republican-party-chairman-don-tracy-resigns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vanquished 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey — a former state senator and zealous Trump supporter who appealed directly to the grassroots movement — celebrated Tracy’s departure in a social media post, saying that the “cleansing of the Republican Party continues.” “The problem that Don, Mark, and many others simply don’t comprehend and refuse to understand is that they simply are failing to uphold the party platform. They believe that supporting liberal candidates who will work closely with Democrats is the answer. It’s not!” Bailey said. “Fake Republicans got us into this mess. Real Republicans standing firm will get us out!”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/06/20/will-county-board-members-question-vote-on-pride-month-resolution/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I would like to know where’s the representation for the traditional family,” said Julie Berkowicz, a Republican from Naperville, who was one of two Republicans questioning why the board was voting on the Pride proclamation. “We should support the freedoms of every individual no matter who they say they are,” Berkowicz said. “This type of resolution does not belong here. It has nothing to do with county government. … I’m not saying I’m against it, but I’m saying we need to focus on doing our business.” Berkowicz was one of 16 board members who voted in support of the Pride Month proclamation. Dan Butler, a Republican from Frankfort, cast the board’s sole no vote against the proclamation, saying he doesn’t feel the county board meeting is the forum for it. “I think we got way too many proclamations,” Butler said. “Whatever people want to do, live their lives the way they want to live it, I’m fine with that. I don’t agree that the government should be making proclamations about people’s sexuality. It just doesn’t seem like the place.”)

DAILY MAIL NEWS
— Trump’s Age Newsworthy Today (COMMENT: How old are you? I am 75. How much has your health declined? As I get older, I ever-increasingly fight age discrimination. When I turned 40 in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with age discrimination. Even before that, I complained about their up-or-out policies. They wrote me off as being too old because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $118,439/year) before I was 25, to GS-14 (currently $136,414/year) before I was 30, to GS-15 (currently 160,458/year) before I was 35, and to Senior Executive Service (currently $191,900/year) before I was 40. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer from IRS. They did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 in 1986. In defense of my age, I stress the GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters that I continue to put together and send out each and every morning.)
https://dailyemailnews.com/trumps-age-newsworthy-today/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The former president’s age is currently front-and-center in the national landscape, as Donald Trump turns 78 today. Both he and 81-year-old Joe Biden are setting records as the oldest major-party candidates ever to run for U.S. president. The age and cognitive sharpness of both candidates have dominated the discourse this election cycle, overshadowing policy discussions as the November 5 election approaches. . .A February Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 78% of Americans, including 71% of Democrats, believe Biden is too old for government service. About 53% felt the same about Trump, who served as president from 2017 to 2021. “It’s not about age, it’s about mental competence,” commented Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, who stated Trump remains “sharp as a tack with elite stamina.” Presidential historian Timothy Naftali claimed that while Trump exudes energy in public, it does not necessarily correlate with mental acuity. “It’s not clear listening to the two men who’s in better command of his faculties,” he said. History professor Allan Lichtman noted that Trump’s own gaffes could raise concerns about his cognitive health.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats are nasty/vicious. Generally, people vote for candidates who share their demographics. The more that it looks like Trump will win on November 5, 2024, the more hatred that Democrats will promote against Republicans and especially against Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Because Biden shares the aforesaid demographics with Trump except political beliefs, religion, and national origin, anticipate/expect that Democrats will ever-increasingly promote more hated against conservatives, Protestants, and German Americans. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What does voting for Democrat candidates say about you? It says that you want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Political consultants who claim to be Republican but who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs advise Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders to go “Democrat-Lite,” if not to go woke, if not to go anti-conservative, if not to promote the aforesaid planks in the Democrat Party platform. I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants since 2001. I served on the board of directors of its Midwest Chapter 2001-2004. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What are your demographics? What does the future look like for those who share your demographics? Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, your future is ever-increasingly bleaker the more of the following that you are: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, married, Protestant, German American, and/or if you have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly give more and more and more preference to those who are the following: LGBTQ, liberal/moderate, non-Republican, non-American, minority, female, younger, poor, veteran, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats ever-increasingly use Juneteenth to promote more hatred against Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in promoting hatred against Republicans. I became eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I was able to survive another 4 years before my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave by Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. If there had been as much Democrat-generated hatred within GAO against Republicans back then as there is now, they would have succeeded in forcing me to retire much sooner. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 even though I had earned my third job-related master’s degree and my sixth job-related professional certification that year. Previously, I had earned job related professional certifications in 1996,1994,1990, 1981, and 1979 and I had earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

One office would have been “no candidate” if it had not been filled by write-in. As Democrats ever-increasingly run Illinois, anticipate/expect fewer and fewer and fewer candidates will run as Republicans. Further, anticipate/expect that fewer and fewer and fewer of them will be conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
https://news.wttw.com/2024/06/03/after-would-be-illinois-gop-candidates-sue-judge-considering-whether-slated-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sangamon County judge is weighing whether to block a new state law that bans the long-practiced tradition of political parties slating candidates for a general election after sitting out of a primary race. Democrats who control the General Assembly pushed the measure through the legislative process and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed it into law in a matter of days last month, arguing that slating is unfair to voters who didn’t get a say in a primary contest. Several would-be Republican candidates then sued over the law, claiming it’s unfair to ban the practice in the middle of an election cycle.)

ILLINOIS PATCH
— Democrats ever-increasingly crow about their success in taking adverse actions against Trump. How many demographics do you share with Trump? Trump and I share lots of demographics. I should write a book about the adverse actions that my Democrat GAO, IRS, Firestone Stores, and Post Office superiors took against me. Further, I should write another book about the adverse actions that my Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have taken and continue to take against me.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-LEFT SOURCES

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois Republicans slam Trump conviction. ‘Stalin would be proud’ said state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich. Even more moderate Illinois Republicans who don’t support the former president said they were “troubled” by the case that resulted in a conviction on 34 felony counts in New York. – Mitchell Armentrout
https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/05/31/donald-trump-hush-money-conviction-illinois-republicans-reaction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a state where Donald Trump has divided many Republicans, Illinois GOP leaders were united in their condemnation of the former president’s conviction for falsifying business records, blasting what they deemed a “sham trial,” a “fraud case” — and downright “chicken s—.” Soon after a New York jury on Thursday found the presumptive GOP presidential nominee guilty in a hush-money case, Illinois Republican Party chairman Don Tracy called it “a political prosecution the likes of which occur in banana republics but not previously in these United States.” “Democrat activist investigators and prosecutors have relentlessly hounded President Trump for years,” Tracy said in a statement. “This weaponization of the judicial system has weakened our country here and in the eyes of the world, which I’m sure President Biden will savor while he vacations in Delaware as his handlers make critical decisions for the country.” Illinois Republican National Committee member Richard Porter, who has criticized Trump — and who backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential primary — accused Democrats of “perverting the judicial system for political purposes.” “Everyone sees what happened in Manhattan, the second most Democrat county in the nation — where Democrat prosecutors are trying to take his money, with a fraud case in which no one was defrauded, and take his liberty with a criminal case in which no crime was committed,” Porter said in an email. “It’s just another example of how Democrats turn all institutions against the people they are supposed to be serving. Democrats will rue the day that they chose this path,” he said, suggesting President Joe Biden could face prosecution down the line. “There are many, many more Republican county prosecutors than Democrat county prosecutors across the country, and they are watching what the New York County district attorney did and are taking notes,” Porter said. “Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, too.” How will the Biden campaign exploit the Trump hush money guilty verdict? Even self-declared “Never-Trump” Illinois Republicans slammed the verdict, including former Illinois House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, who said he was “troubled by how this case was charged.” “People in Manhattan were looking for a reason to convict. He was low-hanging fruit, based on electoral results in that area,” Durkin said, adding that he thought the case should have been brought to election authorities, not a criminal court. “It’s easy to dislike Donald Trump… But I also have respect for the way the justice system is applied, and I thought this was an egregious example of selective prosecution by the Manhattan district attorney,” Durkin said. “Now he can say he got a conviction on Donald Trump. I’m still not sure what crime it was.” The barbs were even sharper from Republicans downstate, where Trump remains immensely popular outside the solid blue Chicago area. “Joseph Stalin would be proud,” said state Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, a member of the far-right Illinois Freedom Caucus of the General Assembly. “The Democrats have shown that they cannot be trusted to be anywhere near power. They must be stopped and the only way to do that is for Donald Trump to win in a landslide in November.” Fellow Freedom Caucus Blaine Wilhour, R-Beecher City, bemoaned “the trampling of our Constitution by the worst people imaginable.” “The same people who allow criminals to murder, rape, and commit unspeakable acts of violence have the audacity to prosecute a former President of the country,” Wilhour said in a statement. “The American people see right through this, and they will come out in huge numbers to vote for President Trump because they understand the battle facing us is not one of politics and political disagreement — it is truly good versus evil.” Former gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey — and a former Freedom Caucus member until he gave up his southern Illinois state Senate seat — exclaimed on social media: “I don’t cuss, but this is chicken s—!” Rep. Mike Bost, a staunch Trump supporter who beat Bailey as GOP nominee for the 12th Congressional District, said “New York’s six-week sham trial against President Trump has eroded the public’s trust in our legal system in a way that will take years to overcome… Even after today’s verdict, he is strengthened with an American public that is fed up with liberals weaponizing the legal system for their partisan political gain.” Rep. Darin LaHood, the central Illinois congressman who has periodically criticized Trump but endorsed his 2024 comeback bid, said, “This political prosecution undermines the rule of law and faith in our justice system. It should be overturned on appeal.” LaHood is hosting House Speaker Mike Johnson Saturday at the Peoria-Tazewell Lincoln Day Dinner, a marquee event on the state GOP calendar. “This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one,” Johnson said in a statement. “President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict—and he WILL WIN.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20240531/nation-and-world-politics/not-surprisingly-suburban-political-leaders-divided-on-trump-verdict/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Across the aisle, Will County Republican Party Chair Christina Clausen defended Trump and said the verdict “represents a profound crisis for our democratic process.” Clausen, of Homer Glen, alleged the trial was unfair and said the verdict interferes with the upcoming presidential election.
“It is deeply troubling that, despite living in what many consider the most free and fair society in history, a judge and prosecutor in New York City can wrongfully condemn and imprison one of our nation’s greatest presidents,” said Clausen, overlooking that a jury handed down the verdict. “I stand firmly with Donald Trump during these challenging times and hope that justice will prevail, demonstrating his innocence to the world.” Republican congressional candidate Mark Rice of Chicago, who’s challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg in the entirely suburban 8th District, said he expects the verdict will be overturned by an appellate court. “What a farce,” Rice said Friday in a Facebook post. . .In a statement on social media, Seth Cohen, a Skokie resident and the GOP’s nominee for Illinois’ 9th Congressional District seat, supported “the role and authority” of the justice system while “respectfully” disagreeing with the verdict. Cohen also said he opposes the weaponization of the system by members of either major political party. Cohen is vying to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th District, which includes parts of Cook, Lake and McHenry counties. . .Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills turned to social media after the verdict, posting a photo of the U.S. flag displayed outside his office and a jab at the people of New York City. “I left the office flag flying high and proud,” wrote McLaughlin, of the 52nd District. “Thankfully there are still a lot of ‘Old Souls’ still present in our Great Nation if not in Manhattan. Blue skies ahead.”)

MSNBC
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters say “The Texas GOP’s new platform is a terrifying preview of MAGA’s future. There are many, many horrors to behold in the latest platform.” Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions have never been anywhere near as conservative as the Texas GOP platforms and resolutions. But nevertheless, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs who run Republican organizations in Illinois have always a) demonized, denigrated, and condemned Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions as being too conservative and b) blamed Illinois GOP platforms and resolutions for Republican defeats.
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/texas-republican-party-platform-trump-rcna154805
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Now, their latest platform, which delegates voted on last weekend, endorses the conspiracist “great reset” theory, declares that “abortion is not health care, it is homicide,” and calls for a new election law requiring candidates running for statewide offices to win a majority of Texas’ 254 counties, effectively barring any Democrat from the position. And that’s just the start. Yet the chief politics reporter for the Austin American Statesman just called the platform “more of a wish list for the most activist members of the GOP than a road map that will be followed to the letter by lawmakers in Austin or Washington.” Even the Texas Tribune’s otherwise thoughtful, comprehensive reporting on the convention describes the party platform as “traditionally … seen not as a definitive list of Republican stances, but a compromise document that represents the interests of the party’s various business, activist and social conservative factions.” . . . There are many, many horrors to behold in the latest platform, and they must be taken seriously not in spite of how terrifying the document is, but because of how terrifying the document is. It is because the latest Texas GOP platform endorses “prohibiting the teaching of sex education, sexual health, or sexual choice or identity” that we should take it seriously. It is because the platform equates abortion and murder that we should take it seriously. It is because the platform aims to ban any Democrat — and indeed, any noncompliant Republican — from ever holding statewide office, that we should take it seriously.)

He disapproved of my having avoided the Vietnam War draft, my having more education than he did, my having been a federal employee for almost 3 years, my being Protestant, my being German American, and my ancestors having been in America for a long time. In 1980, when I transferred from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors were furious that they could just fire me because I had already passed the federal employee probationary period while I worked for IRS.)

During that time, I bought a new Corvette, a new town home, and a studio condo and I completed 12 graduate evening business courses at Loyola. But then my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Then the good old days for me were 1986-1988 when the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer from IRS in 1980 was finally able to get me assigned me to audits of IRS in 1986 and to promote me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) in 1986. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $123,136/year in 1988. But then my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Illinois Republican Party Responds to President Trump Verdict Following the verdict in the New York trial of President Trump, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement: “Let’s call this trial what it really is: a political prosecution the likes of which occurs in banana republics but not previously in these United States. Democrat activist investigators and prosecutors have relentlessly hounded President Trump for years. First, they challenged the legitimacy of his election in 2016 thru the Russian collusion hoax. Then, they strove to defeat his re-election in 2020 thru impeachments and the Hunter Biden laptop coverup. Then, they indicted him and his supporters to tarnish his legacy in an effort to re-elect President Biden. This weaponization of the judicial system has weakened our country here and in the eyes of the world, which I’m sure President Biden will savor while he vacations in Delaware as his handlers make critical decisions for the country.”

But if I had not been removed from the 2024 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee, I would have advocated for a platform and for resolutions that would have given more priority and more emphasis to promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).

(FROM THE ARTICLE: PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE: Illinois Republicans and a certain former governor rallied behind Donald Trump after a Manhattan jury found him guilty Thursday on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush money criminal trial. A sentencing hearing is set for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Some of the reax: The Illinois GOP issued a statement comparing the legal proceedings to “banana republics.” Darren Bailey, who got Trump’s support when he ran for governor, called it “a dark day for America.” And Ogle County GOP Chair Mike Koolidge predicts the verdicts will “energize voters like nothing else has before — and in Trump’s favor.” Deja vu for you know who: Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose prison term on corruption charges was commuted by Trump, said: “When you’ve lived through it yourself you recognize when they do it to someone else … the political fix was in.” The Democrat turned Trump-ocrat, as Blagojevich likes to describe himself, said the verdict was made by “a handpicked politicized Dem judge who denied a former President a chance to put on a defense and allowed ridiculously unlawful jury instructions,” via X. Illinois Democrats had another take, of course. Gov. JB Pritzker, who is a surrogate on the campaign trail for President Joe Biden, issued a statement saying: “Justice has been served. … Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter, and a threat to this country. He can now add one more title to his list — a felon. But let me be clear, Donald Trump will never be 47.” Mayor Brandon Johnson called Trump “a con artist, a bigot, and an embarrassment of a former president. And now, he’s a convicted felon,” on his social media account. Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) called Trump “a loser in court and now we must beat him at the ballot box.” And Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, offered this: “As I’ve said all along: no one is above the law — not even a former president.” Republicans and Democrats agree on one point made by Trump outside the courtroom: “The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It is not “Democrat-Lite.” The only legitimate reason a) to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, b) to be an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Delegate, c) to serve on an IRP State Convention committee, d) to be an officer of a Republican township/ward or county party organization, e) to be an IRP State Central Committee (SCC) member, f) to be an IRP National Committeeman or Committeewoman, and g) to be the IRP chairman is to help elect candidates in Illinois who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. But in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, far too many of the aforesaid reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, 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. Far too many of the aforesaid get rid of those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like the Republican Party platform does not exist. The current process for electing IRP SCC members has caused the aforesaid. Should I start writing about the aforesaid who have the most clout, who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, who have done the most to destroy those like me who support those planks, who use the current system for electing IRP SCC members to stay in power, who had me removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee? – Dave Diersen

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP UNITY: The Illinois Republican Party is holding its state convention today and Saturday in the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville. After eight years of divisiveness among the rank and file, party leaders hope to emerge united as they head into election season. No matter where they stand on Donald Trump, they agree on wanting to make Joe Biden a one-term president. “We’re at a pivotal point where you’re seeing Republicans starting to get back together,” Illinois GOP Executive Director Matthew Janes told Playbook. “You’re seeing a lot more unity recently.” The Illinois GOP has evolved much the way the national Republican party has, with right-leaning Republicans veering more right and centrists somehow being seen as being left on party issues. In Illinois, the shift has been geographic. In 2014, the Republican base was strong in Chicago’s suburbs and exurbs, while southern Illinois still saw Democrats have an influence in party politics. That’s all shifted: When Trump came on the scene, rural voters were drawn to his blue collar message and there was a shift in the state party’s cultural and economic bases. Chicago-area Republicans weren’t always in line with Trump. And many still aren’t. Embracing Trump: Illinois GOP National Committeeman Richard Porter was among those hoping to see a new Republican generation in the White House. He backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. Now, he says he’s most concerned about taking back the White House from Democrats. “I am for winning. Trump is our nominee and the Democrats have behaved appallingly in regard to Trump so it’s not hard to support him,” Porter told Playbook, referring to the former president’s recent court fight in New York. That attitude is expected to prevail in Collinsville this weekend, where the biggest task is to line up behind a party platform and elect a new Republican committee man and committee woman to represent the state within the national Republican Convention (The party elects one man and one woman to those seats.). Why the change: Term limits are keeping Porter and Committeewoman Demetra DeMonte from running again. They have each served two terms. In the running for their seats: GOP state central committee members Mark Shaw and Dean White and Illinois Republican Finance Committee Chair Vince Kolber. Shaw is also an Illinois adviser to Trump’s campaign. Women candidates are State Central Committee members Joan Lasonde and Rhonda Belford, and former Republican legislative candidate Julie Cho. All of the candidates are right-leaning, Trump-supporting Republicans. If you are Demetra DeMonte, Playbook would like to hear from you. Email skapos@politico.com )

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump campaign is pushing to elect those closely aligned with the presumptive presidential nominee’s agenda to positions on the Republican National Committee‘s Platform Committee. Much of this effort by former President Donald Trump’s campaign relates to concerns that far-right conservatives will push stances on abortion and same-sex marriage that may alienate the general population just ahead of the general election. The RNC’s Platform Committee consists of a male and a female representative from each U.S. state and territory, and it will play an instrumental role in shaping the party’s stances on dozens of policy issues. The party’s current platform is a 66-page document that hasn’t been reviewed since the 2016 election. In 2020, the RNC passed a resolution stating it would not adopt a new platform, pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic interfering with the party’s ability to hold meetings. That year marked the first time in more than 150 years that the RNC decided not to make adjustments to its official platform, per NBC News. Shiree Verdone served as co-chairwoman of Trump’s campaign in Arizona in both 2016 and 2020 but is no longer involved with the Republican Party of Arizona. She told the outlet that Trump’s team is concerned about who is getting on the party’s platform committee. “Trying to get normal folks on the Platform and Rules [committees], but God knows if there’s any normal people in that delegation,” Verdone said. The committee’s leadership consists of strong Trump supporters, including Trump’s former ambassador to Luxembourg, Randy Evans, who will serve as executive director. Russ Vought, Trump’s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, will serve as policy director, and Ed Martin, the head of several conservative groups, will serve as deputy policy director. “The campaign is really getting into it and involved this year in [Platform Committee] races in states,” a veteran Republican operative told the outlet. “There is a sense among them that the platform should not be pushed too far to the right on a few issues, but I keep hearing abortion and marriage specifically.” While far-right conservatives have called for a national ban on abortion, Trump has been steadfast in his stance that the matter will be left up to the states. “I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump declared on Truth Social.)
