GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What should your Republican Precinct Committeeman’s top priority be now? Of course, it should be helping elect as many Republican candidates as possible on the April 1, 2025 ballot in their precinct. It would be great if county clerks would publish now draft sample ballots for each of their precincts. – Dave Diersen

— What were the biggest education decisions that you made? For me, they include a) getting accepted by UIC in 1966 and majoring in business, b) getting accepted by NIU in 1969, majoring in management, and earning a bachelor’s degree in 1970, c) getting accepted by Loyola in 1972, majoring in personnel management, and earning an MBA in 1976, d) getting accepted by DePaul in 1976, majoring in accounting, and earning a master’s degree in 1980, and e) getting accepted by IIT in 1992, majoring in financial markets and trading, and earning a master’s degree in 1997. What were the biggest professional decisions that you made? For me, they include a) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt which I did in 1979, b) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 which I did, c) becoming a licensed CPA which I did in 1981, and d) becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, all of the aforesaid which I did. What were the biggest employment decisions that you made? For me, they include a) to become a part-time postal employee in 1966, b) to become a Firestone Store Retail Sales Manager in 1970, c) to become an IRS Revenue Officer in 1971, and d) to become a GAO Analyst in 1980. One could compare and contrast the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made with the decisions that my critics/opponents made. My critics/opponents ignore, dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the education, professional, and employment decisions that I made. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their college expenses, and who got them jobs. – Dave Diersen

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Five things to make the Air Force, which has struggled with wokeness, recruitment, and declining standards, great again. (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the agency ever-increasingly declined. The agency ever-increasingly dumped meritocracy. Its top priority ever-increasingly became hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my work experience, my three master’s degrees, my six professional certifications, and my professional license.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/11/lets-make-the-air-force-academy-soar-once-more/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether it’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stating in a congressional hearing that he hopes to understand his “white rage,” or an official memorandum about establishing “aspirational” race and sex quotas for officers, it’s clear that partisan ideology has supplanted competency as the defining attribute of our current military’s leaders. Nowhere has this leftward shift been more apparent than at the United States Air Force Academy and its newfound obsession with indoctrinating cadets in woke, anti-American ideology.

FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What are your critics/opponents loyal to? My Democrat superiors in the federal government were blindly loyal to the Democrat Party platform. They did everything that they could to waste the careers of and to get rid of their Republican employees and especially those who were conservative, White, male, older, healthy, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors had been in America for a long time. I should write about my Democrat superiors in the federal government. While I opposed their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I nevertheless carried out their direct orders to give preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, disabled, unmarried, poor, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. But because that was not good enough for them, they wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. I should write about my subordinates and the preference that I gave them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How do your critics/opponents frame you, that is, defame you? Mine stress that I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 27 years, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc. to defame me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do your critics/opponents do? Mine do the following now or will do the following when the “come out” in the future: promote 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, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How vulnerable are you? According to hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, the more of the following that you are, the more vulnerable that you are: liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, LGBTQ, veteran, unmarried, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What is Trump’s position on GAO? GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997. During that time, they used Republican-led budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees 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. I would not have survived until 1997 if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in business in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned other job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— Will Trump end Affirmative Action, DEI, and wokeism, that is, will Trump end race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? If he does, it will have a tremendous impact on the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Far too many leaders of the aforesaid reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

— Democrats say “Trump chooses loyalist Pam Bondi for attorney general pick after Matt Gaetz withdraws.” Since 2015, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have ever-increasingly falsely demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump loyalist. They stress the many demographics that I share with Trump: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. However, they know full-well that I have always been loyal to the Republican Party platform, but not to any candidate, elected official, or party leader. My critics/opponents demand blind loyalty and destroy those like me who refuse to give it to them. I should write about my critics/opponents.)

People do not view federal employees and retirees favorably. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal employees as being overpaid, lazy, incompetent, inefficient, unmotivated, overly bureaucratic, and slow and as being so bad that they cannot get a job in the private sector. The aforesaid negative stereotyping constructively rendered my job-related bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and professional license worthless. Most commonly, people negatively stereotype federal retirees as people whose retirement benefits are far too generous. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. The aforesaid Democrats promoted me in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They erroneously anticipated/expected that I would become a Democrat. But if I was a young man today, the aforesaid Democrats would not hire or promote me today because they are under even more pressure from Democrat leaders to hire and promote Democrat females. All my female coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, b) who had less education than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)

They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. – Dave Diersen

— Who has taken adverse actions against you? Those who take adverse actions against me were following orders. They work for the following: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct. and/or d) those who I have sued. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What does your future look like? My future looks ever-increasingly bleak because my demographics are terrible and I am ever-increasingly surrounded by hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters. They ever-increasing a) discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) discourage everyone from reading my newsletters. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my newsletters for defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffer. They ever-increasingly make it clear that they want me to leave Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct. But I am not going to cave in. To help me carry on. Please encourage everyone to read my newsletters. – Dave Diersen

— Politically, what helps you to be optimistic? For me, it includes Trump won, Trump got a higher percentage of the vote in Illinois this year than in 2020 and 2016, Trump won all but 14 of the 102 Illinois counties, Republicans control the U.S. House and Senate, all but 2 of the 13 Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct got more votes than their Democrat opponents did, Berlin and Grant were reelected, the turnout in my precinct was 83%, and while Grant won by only 292 votes, 445 voted for Grant in my precinct. – Dave Diersen

— Should I start writing about my critics/opponents who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research and/or have their operatives and dupes do that? Should I start naming names? I would start with those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would start with those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and have had their operatives and dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. – Dave Diersen

— Which plank in the Democrat Party platform has harmed you the most? If me it the Affirmative Action and DEI plank, that is, the race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination plank. My Democrat superiors in the federal government used that plank against me big time to waste my career and to get rid of me. – Dave Diersen

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3237318/trump-steps-up-battle-media-kill-press-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Her group had already issued a statement the morning after the election, criticizing Trump for “wanton attacks on journalists” and warning that his second administration could be a turning point for media freedom in the United States. Whether wanton or not, Trump has famously feuded with the press since his political career began eight years ago. He’s dubbed the media “fake news” and “the enemy of the people” while leading chants against reporters during his many political rallies. However, Trump arguably raised the temperature higher than ever this year. He made a dark joke earlier this month that a possible assassin would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get to him.)

— Meet the charities spending millions to stop illegal immigrants from being deported
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/3238077/charities-spending-millions-stop-illegal-immigrants-deported/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.)
NEW YORK POST
— Critics of President-elect Trump’s plan to enlist the military to help deport illegal immigrants claim it will violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. But that might not be the case. The 146-year-old PCA says that “except [as] expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress,” whoever “willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus … to execute the laws shall be fined … or imprisoned.”

There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot. What information would you like to get from your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? I will be hand-delivering to the aforesaid 400 residences the aforesaid information plus information on the upcoming December 3 MTRO Caucus and the April 1 local election.)

My critics/opponents reject planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly the 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. They destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to coverup their wrongdoing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents.

— Given that the federal government has always been run by Democrats who hate Republicans, one could ask why did I became a federal employee. I became a part-time postal employee when I was 18 years old in 1966 because I needed money to pay for my college expenses. I had taken and passed the postal employment examination because my high school friend had suggested that I join him in doing that. I became an IRS employee in 1971 because I needed a job. I had taken and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination as a fallback if I could not get a good job in the automotive industry. I needed a job because I was helping support my mother and brother because my father had suddenly died. My Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile had withdrawn that offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I became a GAO employee in 1980 because of GAO’s mission and because of its claimed nonpartisanship. I had recently earned an MBA from Loyola and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. Once you become a federal employee, it is almost impossible to get a good job in the private sector. Private sector employers look down on and have an extremely low opinion of government employees. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In response, Mr. Vance slammed the outlet for going after the Trump administration’s nominee. “They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm,” he said on X. “This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself.”)
— An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs. (COMMENT: IRS has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and disallowed my education deductions in 1978. They never promoted me beyond GS-12. GAO has always been politicized. To get rid of me, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, they kept off audits of IRS except for 3 years, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat.)

It’s a maladaptive pattern that could stem from learned behavior—that is, witnessing others do this in childhood. It may also arise from unresolved emotional issues.

Just 31% of high schoolers scored proficient in reading on the SAT in 2024. For black students, it was only 12%. And white student proficiency fell a whopping 9.5 percentage points from 2017, to just 42%.

— Trump must take action against ‘untouchable’ bureaucrats (COMMENT: A big reason why I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 in 1980 was that GAO claimed to be nonpartisan. I soon learned that claim was patently false. I soon learned that GAO’s Chicago office was run by liberal/nasty/vicious Democrats who hated Republicans and especially hated Republicans who shared my demographics: conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, had ancestors who had been in America for a long time, non-poor, childless, former executive branch employee, former union member, etc. They did everything that they could to waste my career and to get rid of me, but I nevertheless survived for almost 18 years. I would not have survived for that long if I had not a) earned job-related master’s degrees in 1980 (accounting) and in 1997 (finance), b) earned job-related professional certifications in 1981 (internal auditing), 1990 (fraud examination), 1994 (government financial management), 1996 (financial services auditing), and 1997 (forensic accounting), and c) earned a job related professional license (CPA) in 1981.)
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trump-must-take-action-against-untouchable-bureaucrats
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The president has the constitutional authority to fire anyone from the executive branch — including ‘independent’ agencies. An estimated 2.2 million civilian federal workers serve at the pleasure of the president, despite only 4,000 being designated as political appointees. Donald Trump’s first priority as he prepares to retake office must be to establish that he can fire any of them. Whether they hold political appointments, Senate-confirmed positions, or civil service roles, all federal employees are subject to the president’s authority to terminate their employment. This includes workers in any department or so-called “independent” agency. If a congressional statute conflicts with his authority to fire someone, that statute is unconstitutional and must yield to the president’s plenary firing authority. Ironically, Trump’s biggest failure in his first term was his reluctance to say his famous line, “You’re fired!” To succeed in a second term, he must remove anyone who does not share his campaign vision. His primary promises are to reduce inflation and eliminate the deep state. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is already challenging both promises, presenting Trump with an early test of his resolve.

— I never sought any internships because I had to work my way through college. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office while I was a UIC student 1966-1968 and then a NIU student in 1969. One of my NIU roommates had wealthy parents who got him an internship at a big CPA firm. He got hired by that firm and soon became a partner. I should have majored in accounting. I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 29. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 30. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination and become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, because of my bad demographics, I was viewed as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.

To vote for Democrat candidates is to promote dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. To vote for Democrat candidates is to promote poverty and crime.)

I should write about my critics/opponents.

They ignored, dismissed, and belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination my first attempt in 1979. They disallowed my education deductions in 1978.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Candidates line up for Naperville, Wheaton school board elections
https://www.dailyherald.com/20241113/news/candidates-line-up-for-naperville-wheaton-school-board-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: District 200 Six people — including three incumbents — already have declared their candidacies for four board seats up for election next year. Board President Rob Hanlon as well as sitting board members Angela Blatner and John Rutledge are running again. The other candidates are Katy Ebbesen, Brooke Gennaro and Amy Erkenswick. Last year, Erkenswick ran in a high-profile race with a slate of school board challengers who argued parents ought to have a greater say over their children’s education, who raised objections to graphic content in school libraries and who had green campaign signs. Erkenswick finished just 33 votes shy of winning a seat on the board. Rutledge, a former Wheaton city councilman, bested one of the slate members to secure a 2-year board position. Hanlon was first elected to the board in 2017. “Since the referendum passed, I want to see that work through,” said Hanlon, referring to voters’ approval of a plan to issue $151.5 million in bonds for significant upgrades to Edison, Franklin and Monroe middle schools. Noting the number of candidates, Hanlon said he expects “it’ll be a healthy debate.” “I think when you have more candidates involved, who are focused on kids, you have a better election, and the community benefits and the students benefit,” Hanlon said.)

— What do you hope that Trump will focus on? I hope that he will focus on promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of pot, defending Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I hope that he focuses on discouraging the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen

EDUCATION WEEK
— As Biden Prepares to Leave Office, He Touts His ‘Classroom to Career’ Work (COMMENT: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. If I had, I would have passed the CPA examination and became a licensed CPA much sooner than I did. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, because of my bad demographics, I was considered to be much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Durbin says Democrats’ minority status a consideration as he mulls 2026 reelection bid (COMMENT: Who do you want to run for U.S. Senate in 2026? In 2003, all five of the announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan) attended a picnic that I organized in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. More than 200 attended. Back then, I was the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster, and an officer of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I organized a major MTRO straw poll later in 2003 that Ryan won. The Illinois GOP Establishment wanted McKenna to win the primary and blamed me for Ryan winning it instead. Previously, the Illinois GOP Establishment blamed me for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich. Also, later in 2003, and in 2004, I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremonies. I should write about the Illinois GOP Establishment. )

https://mailchi.mp/wirepoints.org/noshotspotter-13564591?e=19fa91a7b3
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans demanded change last week. Whether they were voting for Trump or against Harris, their rationale didn’t matter. Less government interference won. So did free speech, border control, law and order, and anti-DEI policies. The change that shook the nation was visible even in Illinois, perhaps one of the country’s most hostile media and political environments for Trump. Not only did Trump shrink the Dem margin of victory this year to nine percentage points – from 17 points in 2020 and 25 points in 2008 – he also performed better in both Chicago and the suburbs. Illinoisans’ support for Trump grew even as the media and political attacks on him, led notably by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, increased in intensity. So with 45% of Illinois going for Trump – and Latinos and blacks and virtually every demographic breaking towards him – you would have thought Gov. Pritzker would be chastened, or at least sufficiently introspective enough to temper his comments until the dust settles.)

— Uncounted mail-in ballots could be deciding factor in tight DuPage County races
https://www.nctv17.org/news/uncounted-mail-in-ballots-could-be-deciding-factor-in-tight-dupage-county-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Jean Kaczmarek, there are still approximately 18,000 outstanding mail-in ballots left to count. “The processing of the mail ballots is still ongoing and will continue over the next two weeks…There are a couple of races that are tight. Any candidate that is within two percentage points difference can ask for a recount, and that’s their right,” said Kaczmarek. Taking a closer look at some of those tight races in which Naperville voters weighed in: Currently incumbent Democrat William “Bill” White is holding a 2,715 vote lead over challenger Bob Grogan in the race for auditor. In the race for coroner, Democrat Judith Lukas has a slightly larger lead over incumbent Republican Richard Jorgensen, with 5,388 more votes. For the District 3 county board seat, incumbent Democrat Lucy Chang Evans holds a 2,702 vote lead over Republican Baron Leacock. The District 5 county board seat has wider margins, with Democrat Saba Haider with an 8,421 vote lead over incumbent Republican Patty Gustin. But there’s a closer divide for the District 6 county board seat, with Democrat incumbent Greg Schwarze 2,170 votes ahead of Republican challenger Joe Soto. And the tightest race of all is the District 6 Forest Preserve District of DuPage County seat, with Democrat Rick Gieser just 29 votes ahead of Republican incumbent Al Murphy. Official results for DuPage County races will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 19. “A week later, those results will be certified,” Kaczmarek said. DuPage County sees slight dip in voter turnout compared to 2020. DuPage County saw a 72.54% voter turnout for the 2024 general election, a decrease from the 76.55% turnout in 2020. The number of county residents utilizing vote-by-mail decreased from 177,730 in 2020 to 105,090 in 2024. But the number of in-person early voters in the county went up, with 210,419 this year compared to 190,964 in 2020.)

ILLINOIS GOP
— Pritzker Does Damage Control Amid Republican Shift in Illinois
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The “my people” who Pritzker refers to share his hatred against Trump and against those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Pritzker’s people want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— The Republican Party leaders of the states that surround Illinois defend and advance the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about Republican Party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How many voted for Trump in your precinct? While 370 voted for Trump in my precinct, 470 voted for Harris. What should I do to protect the Trump voters in my precinct from Pritzker? For that matter, what should the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your Republican county and township/ward party organizations do to protect Trump voters from Pritzker? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have tremendous power in Illinois. Because Trump has won the presidency, anticipate/expect that Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will destroy Trump voters in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct. They will stop Trump voters from being hired. They will get Trump voters fired. They will destroy companies and organizations run by Republicans. Anticipate/expect that they will start with Trump voters who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. What should Trump voters do to protect themselves? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— For the races on the ballot in your precinct, how many ballots are still not counted? 18,000 ballots are still not counted for the five countywide races on the ballot in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton including Grogan in the Auditor race who is losing only by 2,715 votes and Jorgensen in the Coroner race who is losing by only 5,388 votes. When the 18,000 ballots are counted, if Grogan gets 2,716 more votes than White, Grogan wins, and if Jorgensen gets 5,389 more votes than Lukas, Jorgensen wins. Further, Grant is winning by only 500 votes in the House District 47 race. – Dave Diersen

— Letters thanking Kamala supporters for agreeing ‘to house a migrant family’ terrify wealthy homeowners (COMMENT: What position do wealthy Democrats and RINOs in your county, township, municipality, and school district have on housing illegals in their big homes? How soon will Democrat and RINO leaders force them to do that? Illegals could serve as their cooks, maids, butlers, babysitters, chauffeurs, landscapers, gardeners, snow shovelers, etc. Of course, wealthy homeowners can easily afford to provide illegals not only housing, but with food, clothing, healthcare, education, transportation, etc.)

I had to have a job because I was supporting my mother and brother because my father had recently soddening died. Because of that, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)
