— Rumblings in the Illinois GOP – SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: Illinois Republican county, township, and ward party leaders and precinct committeemen/captains should learn of these things directly from the Illinois Republican Party, not from Democrats. What perspective do you bring to this? I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans 2005-2012 and as a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee 2003-2007 and since 2000 I continue to serve as an elected Republican Precinct Committeeman.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: CAGE MATCH: Illinois Republican Party officials are meeting today to address concerns about Mark Shaw, vice chair of the Illinois GOP and a state central committeeman. He’s been accused of improperly voting as a delegate during last month’s state GOP convention and also challenging someone to a fight. The back-and-forth: Lake County Republican Party Chair Keith Brin called on Shaw to resign, and Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison sent a letter urging them to address the concerns. Shaw has pushed back with a letter defending himself, saying, “Brin’s and Morrison’s demands are based on half-truths and outright lies.” Read it here ( https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000190-1e27-de3a-adb6-ff67e1760000 ). “I feel like my bosses are fighting and I’m in the middle of it,” Illinois GOP Chair Don Tracy told Playbook. Tracy said he was directed by members of the State Central Committee to ask Shaw to step down as vice chair. Shaw didn’t return our request for comment on the brouhaha. “We need to lower the room temperature,” Tracy said, adding the goal is “to defeat the Democratic operatives who are ruining this state and to save our passions and our energies to win some elections. ”What led to today’s meeting of the GOP State Central Committee: There’s a question about whether Shaw wrongly signed up as a delegate for the convention. And there’s tension from the vote for RNC committeeman. Shaw wanted the position and won the first three rounds of voting among the state central committee members but lost in the floor vote. Dean White, ultimately won by acclamation. At some point during that drama, Shaw lashed out at Republican State Central Committeeman Aaron Del Mar, who was helping White maneuver the process. Shaw told Del Mar, “I’m going to kick your ass.” In his memo, Shaw acknowledged it was “obviously, a poor choice of words” given Del Mar is “a former mixed-martial-arts athlete.” Del Mar’s response: “I understand emotions were high, but you don’t get to be vice chair [of the party] and say stuff like that,” he told Playbook. Much of the tension is a result of relationships gone sour over past elections. Some Republicans blame Shaw for Lake County turning blue, while he was county chair. And even though Shaw is a Donald Trump delegate and a “senior adviser” to the GOP presidential candidate, some Republicans in the base still view him as being too establishment. “It’s frustrating to have an intra-family fight,” Tracy said. “But I’m a firm believer that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. So, I’m hoping we will come out of this stronger and battle-ready for the fall elections.”)
— Some big GOP names are swinging through Illinois this week for fundraisers. Roger Stone is in the northwest suburbs today. Congressman Jim Jordan is in Lake Forest on Tuesday. And House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is in Lake County on Wednesday to stump for Joe McGraw in the IL-17 congressional race.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Vince Kolber, who Votes in IL, WI, Resigns as IL GOP Finance Chairman, Blames Grassroots for his Downfall
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/06/breaking-vince-kolber-who-votes-in-il-wi-resigns-as-il-gop-finance-chairman-blames-grassroots-for-his-downfall.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vince Kolber, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party Finance Committee abruptly resigned on Tuesday in an angry letter to IL GOP chairman Don 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, is 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. As part of the nomination process, candidates are required to submit before the convention their certified voting record to show that they voted in the last three Illinois Republican primaries. But Kolber, who is registered to vote as a full time resident in both Illinois and Wisconsin – only submitted information for two Illinois primaries – 2022 and 2024. The omission of where he voted in 2020 would have automatically disqualified him from running for national committeeman per the bylaws, but an exception was made and Kolber remained on the ballot – proving that if you are a favored candidate of the party establishment – rules can be broken. In his resignation letter, Kolber blamed the rise of the grassroots for his downfall – or as he also stated, the “newly engaged,” writing, “Right now, our Illinois party is excessively focused on the newly engaged raising high, the banner of the “grassroots.” Kolber also blamed the grassroots – or the “newly engaged” for creating “resistance” with donors, telling Tracy, “We have both experienced wide resistance from those donors in supporting a party organization needlessly divided on the relative importance of the newly engaged.” . . . Kolber also blamed the grassroots for the election of Dean White as national committeeman – a position that he sought, writing, “the Illinois party chose someone who has never given or raised to either the Illinois Party or the National Party. And in my case, they turned down someone who has given and raised substantial funds for both the State and National Republican parties.” The Illinois and Wisconsin resident has always placed an emphasis on money over people – and as a result, the Illinois Republican Party – and partly under his leadership, has slipped further into irrelevance as the Democrats continue to expand their super majority control in both the Illinois House and Senate – and control every statewide office – leaving Republicans voiceless on local and state matters. In July 2023, Kolber was listed on the host committee for a Ron DeSantis for President event in Wisconsin, where he claims to live full-time, while at the same time, serving as an IL GOP senior official. In December of 2022, Kolber infamously offended a room full of grassroots, when he asked the crowd during a state central committee meeting, “I assume all of you have donated to the IL GOP?” And when the room yelled back, “No!” He replied, “No? Then what are you doing here?” The comment drew an immediate reaction from the crowd, still stunned that a GOP leader would say something so offensive to a room full of hardworking, grassroots patriots – many of whom had driven hours, just for their voices to be heard. And judging by the negative reaction from the crowd, Republican state central committee member and ally of Kolber – Jeanne Ives, jumped up from her seat, in defense of Kolber, screaming as if experiencing an out of body experience and yelling in a high pitched voice, “Vince is not your problem! This man gave me $750,000 when I ran against Gov. Bruce Rauner!” Proving yet again, that if you are a major donor – different rules apply. In his closing remarks, Kolber stated that he is resigning “from Chairing or further participating in the Finance Committee” – and leaving the state party altogether. I “wish all involved continuing success.”)

— Those who promote LGBTQ reject the traditional marriage and family plank in the Republican Party platform. To promote LGBTQ, is to destroy traditional marriage and family. Democrats and RINOs want Trump to promote LGBTQ because they want Trump to lose. Because I do not promote LGBTQ, they have taken many big adverse actions against me. I should write a book about that. I would focus on those LGBTQ-promoting Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— Why have your critics/opponents take adverse actions against you? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
My critics/opponents have taken adverse actions against me because:
— I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject including 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.
— I promote direct election of Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee members.
— 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 cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money.
— I have demographics that they despise/hate including heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, draft avoider, gun owner, Protestant, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, former union member, former federal employees, and federal retiree.
— I have more money, work experience, education, professional certifications than they do and I have a professional license.
— They blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems.
— I have sued them or I have sued those who they work for.
— They hate Trump and I do not.
What is the next adverse action that you anticipate/expect that your critics/opponents will take against you? For me, I anticipate/expect that they will recruit a Republican voter in my precinct to run against me for Precinct Committeeman. They succeeded in doing that in 2000, but not since. Recently, one of their leaders rudely told me that she had thrown my precinct letter into her trash. This leader played a major role in a) ending my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) ending my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, c) ending my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans in 2012, d) ending my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, and f) ending my bid to serve as the MTRO Treasurer in 2004.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-targets-j-b-pritzger-presided-over-the-destruction-and-disintegration-of-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Sunday, former President Trump targeted Illinois Democratic governor J.B. Pritzker, who has been considered a rising star in the Democratic Party but who has presided over the state while natives flee. Pritzker was inaugurated as governor of the state in January 2019; between July 2021 and July 2022, over 142,000 people left Illinois. The only state that had a faster rate of population decline during that same time period was New York. “Sloppy J.B. Pritzker, the Rotund Governor from the once great State of Illinois, who makes Chris Christie look like a male model, and whose family wanted him out of the business because he was so pathetic at helping them run it, has presided over the destruction and disintegration of Illinois at levels never seen before in any State. Crime is rampant and people are, sadly, fleeing Illinois. Unless a change is made at the Governor’s level, Illinois can never be Great Again,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Pritzker has a massive $52.7 billion 2025 spending plan that will require enormous tax increases of an estimated $898 million. Illinois currently has the second-highest corporate income tax rate in the country. He wants to extend extension of Illinois’ cap on net operating losses, which would raise taxes on companies losing money, as Bryce Hill, Director of Fiscal and Economic Research with the Illinois Policy Institute, pointed out in a comprehensive piece about Pritzker’s 2025 budget. Pritzker would “effectively raise taxes by $186 million on retailers,” Hill noted, adding, “Retailers now retain 1.75% of the sales taxes for collecting and sending them to the government, so long as they properly file and pay their applicable sales taxes by their due dates. Under Pritzker’s proposal, the value of this tax credit would be capped at $1,000 per month.” Hill asserts that Pritzker’s 2025 budget proposal includes “a hidden $93 million income tax hike on individuals. He will get that money by shortchanging the inflation adjustment to the state’s standard income tax exemption. … the state’s current standard exemption for tax year 2024 is set a $2,775 per income taxpayer and dependent. Pritzker wants to reduce this exemption to $2,550 per income taxpayer and dependent – a change that would only account for one years’ worth of inflation adjustments instead of the two taxpayers are due.”)

Young men from non-intact families are more likely to end up in prison or jail, drop out of high school or not graduate from college compared to young men raised by their married biological parents with their father living in the home, a new Institute for Family Studies report argues. “What we see for young men today is a family-to-prison-or-college pipeline that is more likely to deliver boys from intact families towards college graduation and boys from non-intact families towards prison or jail,” the report states. “Young men raised by their two married, biological parents are almost 20 percentage points more likely to graduate college than end up in prison/jail.”)

— Democrats ever-increasingly use IVF to promote more hated against Republicans. I should write a book about my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors and how they severely punished me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF. They knew full-well that our doctor had advised us against it because both of us had major fertility problems. They stressed that my wife’s health insurance covered IVF. They fully expected/demanded that we adopt and/or become foster parents which we did not do.

— Democrat and RINO leaders ever-increasingly run America and viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. That of course encourages Republicans to vote for Trump and to buy more and more and more firearms and ammunition for their self-defense. Republicans see what Hitler did to the Jews.

QUIG (COMMENT: I worked extensively with federal inspector general offices while I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $115,439-$150,075/year and as a member of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996.

I should write a book about the impact that adverse actions taken against me has had on those around me. My Democrat Post Office superiors disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. My Firestone Store boss rudely/threadedly fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in 1971. My Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)

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
http://www.gopillinois.com
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

— QUESTION: What encourages people to vote for Republicans? ANSWER: The poverty, crime, and even worse things that the following planks in the Democrat Party platform bring forth: a) welfare, that is, dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and family, c) abortion, that is, disrespect for human life, d) mass/illegal immigration, that is, the destruction of America, e) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, that is, the destruction of America, f) gun control, that is, the abolition of the Second Amendment, and g) Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, national origin discrimination, and the end of meritocracy.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrats run the federal government and use Affirmative Action and DEI to get rid of Republicans. What career limiting things did you do? I avoided the draft. I became a federal employee and stayed one. I did not become a Democrat. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 that charged my Democrat superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Because of the aforesaid, my Democrat superiors in the federal government took many big adverse actions against me and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. Because of the aforesaid, I filed a lawsuit against my Democrat superiors for political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination in 1998. – Dave Diersen

SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 and https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11-0 But by then, my IRS career was ruined even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

ECONOMIST
— Changes to China’s gaokao exam are about politics, not fairness. Extra points for minority students are going away. (COMMENT: Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have decried my passing tests including the tests I passed a) to get hired by the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980, b) to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, c) to become a CPA in 1979 and a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and d) to become a licensed CPA in 1981. They have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed the aforesaid tests because I unfairly benefitted tremendously from tremendous discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, etc. In my defense, I stress that neither of my parents attended college, that my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and that my mother attended high school.)
https://www.economist.com/china/2024/06/06/changes-to-chinas-gaokao-exam-are-about-politics-not-fairness
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Starting on June 7th millions of young people will sit for the world’s largest academic test. China’s university-entrance exam, known as the gaokao, is punishingly difficult. Students spend endless hours cramming for it. But it is also meant to be meritocratic. Work hard, score well and, no matter what your social background, you can get into a good college. Yet the test is administered in ways that do not seem so meritocratic. Local governments are allowed to produce their own versions of the gaokao, with different questions and scoring methods. Students in elite cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, enjoy an easier route into local universities, which include some of the country’s finest.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s a funny part: While the bill has some exceptions for certain nonprofit organizations, there is none for 501(c)(3) organizations like Wirepoints. Countless 501(c)(3) nonprofits like us research and advocate for policy positions of all kinds. That’s what we do. We meet discuss those political matters constantly. Illinois thinks they could bar us from making those meetings mandatory? Good luck.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) a) to issue a detailed press release on its State Convention and b) to post on its website its new platform and its 12 new resolutions. At the convention, there was very strong support for Trump and for Dean White for IRP National Committeeman, but there were very few delegates from DuPage County. IRP chairman Don Tracy spoke vehemently against direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. Many of the delegates who I spoke with had been strongly lobbied by opponents of direct election against direct election. Tracy’s IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee (PRC) killed direct election. Illinois Republicans who want direct election are overwhelmingly conservative. Illinois Republicans who oppose direct election are overwhelming moderate, that is, they reject some, many, most, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. It seems that to get PRC members to kill direct election, those who oppose direct election a) loaded the PRC with members who oppose direct election or could be made to oppose direct election and b) dumped efforts to move the platform to the left. I was appointed to the PRC even though I have always promoted direct election. But that appointment was made before those who oppose direct election knew that major efforts were going to be made to promote direct election. Therefore, because of that, I was removed from the PRC before its first meeting. The Democrat news media at the convention again demonstrated its rudeness and hostility toward me. I have attended as a delegate and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor all the IRP State Conventions since 2000. The 2020 convention was by Zoom. The last big push for direct election was at the 2008 convention. – Dave Diersen

— What does the future look like for your elected Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC)? I have been an elected RPC since 2000. My future as a RPC looks ever-increasingly bleak for me. The leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my newsletters for losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. They stress that I promote direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. They stress that I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They stress my bad demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, old, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have been in America for a long time. They stress the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me, most recently, removing me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee.

JEFF BERKOWITZ
— IL GOP’s Grassroots ride Dean White into the Winner’s Circle in Collinsville, IL. Could this be a turning point for the IL GOP?
https://jeffberkowitz208.substack.com/p/il-gops-grassroots-ride-dean-white
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yesterday, about 300 “Grassroots” county delegates to the IL GOP convention overcame strong recent GOP historical precedent and took control of the Party, at least for an afternoon. The grassroots wrested control away from the Establishment IL GOP State Central Committee (“SCC”). Usually, the seventeen member SCC chooses the IL RNC Committeeman and Committeewoman and the delegates in attendance at the convention docilely ratify the choice, almost proforma. But, not yesterday. Choice of a new IL GOP RNC Committeeman. This weekend, about five hundred IL Republicans gathered in Collinsville, IL to choose their new IL RNC committeeman and committeewoman to serve on the 168 member Republican National Committee, as IL committeeman Richard Porter, watch by clicking here (12 (10?) years of service) and IL committeewoman Demetra Demonte (16 years of service) were both term limited from continuing on the RNC. The main job of an RNC committeeman is to be the link or nexus between the state GOP and the RNC on national campaigns. Large elements of that nexus include national fundraising, message development and political organizing, especially for the national Presidential and mid-term elections. The primary interest of the IL GOP grassroots is the recruiting and election of quality state and local candidates and a party apparatus related thereto, not a national committeeman. But the symbolism and precedent of yesterday’s reversal of the establishment SCC was important to the grassroots, and they seemed to shout, as they descended on Collinsville, Carpe Diem, sensing victory would be theirs. On the other hand, get a sense of what could happen if these two often divergent parts of the IL GOP worked together— by watching RNC Committeeman Porter, linked to above (18:58-19:58), as he explains more than three years ago, the potential interaction between IL State operators, GOP U. S. Senators, the entire Congress and the RNC to solve Illinois’ fiscal issues, including the need to lower public sector pension and education costs— and taxes to make IL more fiscally stable and attractive in the long run to taxpayers and residents. . .Rhonda Belford, GOP Chair of Hardin County, was the SCC’s choice over Joan Lasonde for IL GOP Committeewoman, and Belford was easily approved by the Delegates in the Hall. Lasonde, residing on Chicago’s North Shore, is the 9th CD member of the SCC. The next steps for the IL GOP. So, we’ll find out in due course if Dean White, who is a bit of an unknown commodity in IL GOP politics, is everything the grassroots hope he will be. More importantly, we will no doubt learn soon if the SCC has learned how to make effective use of the grassroots’ energy to start producing some general election wins, perhaps even for IL Governor, since the stakes for IL are so high. And, many in the IL GOP almost surely will start chanting that familiar phrase: “Now is the time for all good men [and women] to come to the aid of their Party.”)
AUSTIN AMERICAN STATEMAN
— Texas Republican convention shows ultraconservative flank still controls the party. The dueling themes of party unity and purging the GOP of “RINOs” were the subplots of the Texas State Republican Convention. – John C. Moritz (COMMENT: One could compare and contrast the Texas Republican Party with the Illinois Republican Party. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. RINOs paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not as being anti-conservative. RINOs reject some, many, most, if not virtually all the planks in the Republican Party platform. RINOs get rid of Republicans like me who support the planks that they reject. I should write a book about the biggest past and present RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I made a big decision in January of this year,” Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told the cheering delegates Saturday as the three-day Texas State Republican Convention was heading into its final hours. “I announced that I was declaring open season on RINOs with no bag limits.” Miller, an irrepressible conservative who likes to bill himself as “Donald Trump’s man in Texas,” was referring to that strain of the GOP faithful that has been castigated as “Republicans In Name Only” because of a willingness to sometimes seek common ground with Texas’ minority party. His remarks, which were presaged by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton, came in the final weekend before Tuesday’s runoffs, in which several Republican members of the state House — including Speaker Dade Phelan, who in the minds of many of the delegates and some of the GOP officeholders is Texas’ RINO-in-chief — are fighting for their political lives in the face of challengers backed by deep-pocket conservative donors and an army of activists from the party’s right flank. That right flank emerged as the dominant force among the almost 10,000 delegates and alternates who chose to spend at least the first part of their holiday weekend shaping the future of the Texas Republican Party, which has held unchecked power in the state for more than two decades.)

— ILLINOIS GOP EMBRACES TRUMP AT STATE CONVENTION AS LIBERTARIANS CHALLENGE HIS VIEWS IN CHICAGO SPEECH – Damon R. Sheffield (COMMENT: I should write a book about those Libertarian plants in the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. Libertarians promote booze, gambling, pot, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, etc.)
https://hoodline.com/2024/05/illinois-gop-embraces-trump-at-state-convention-as-libertarians-challenge-his-views-in-chicago-speech/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republicans threw their full weight behind former President Donald Trump during their state convention this past Saturday, as reported by the Chicago Tribune. The GOP adopted a platform that fiercely criticized Democrats for their stance on abortion rights, bail reform, and transgender issues. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller did not hold back in her condemnation of President Joe Biden and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, calling their vision for the country and state “a disaster” and even labelling it “evil.”. . . The dichotomy of the two events emphasizes the divisive figure Trump continues to represent, even within varied conservative circles. Illinois Republicans, particularly in rural regions, remain staunchly pro-Trump, with GOP Chair Don Tracy suggesting that Republican enthusiasm for the former president was on the rise. Meanwhile, Trump’s reception at the Libertarian convention exposes the frictions within a party known for its commitment to individual liberties and small government—a party where some view Trump as antithetical to their values. The Illinois GOP’s adopted platform attacks Democrats on a number of fronts, including abortion, law enforcement, and election integrity, according to the Chicago Tribune. They vehemently oppose the state’s pro-abortion laws and have added new language to their platform on gender identity, aligning closely with Trump’s traditional conservative views. Their actions signal an intention to fiercely fight to regain a foothold in suburbia, despite the potential risks of alienating moderate voters with their undiluted embrace of Trump.)

— Democrats say “How Donald Trump Still Lives in the 1980s. The greed-is-good era was the last time his preferred public image was intact, and he’s been returning there in ways large and small as he sits through his criminal trial in Manhattan.” What did you do during the 1980s? I worked as an Analyst for the Democrats who ran GAO. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. In 1984, my wife and I had own home built in Wheaton. In 1986, the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS was finally able to get me assigned to audits of IRS and to promote me to GS-13, currently $115,439/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors forced him to retire in 1987. In 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. In 1989, in retaliation, they threw me off audits of IRS, gave me a very bad job assignment and performance appraisal, and ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.)

If they can land that salary, or make $500,000 before taxes over 10 years, state school graduates across sectors will find the investment worth it and should be able to pay off their loans, Strada says. – Alyssa Lukpat (COMMENT: During the almost 9 years that I worked for IRS 1971-1980, IRS paid me more than $800,000 in salary In today’s dollars.

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 )

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump putting his finger on the scale to revamp GOP platform four years after it froze in time – Elaine Mallon (COMMENT: Those who oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) members have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a far-right conservative. Since 2015, they have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a Trump-promoter. I should write a book about those who oppose direct elect election of IRP SCC members and who oppose Trump and who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3015947/trump-revamp-gop-platform-after-it-froze-in-time/
(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.)

— Wisconsin GOP convention spotlights abortion, higher education, immigration and national security – Steve Schuster (COMMENT: What actions will the Illinois Republican Party take at its State Convention in Collinsville May 24-25?)
https://wislawjournal.com/2024/05/18/wisgop-convention-spotlights-abortion-higher-education-immigration-and-national-security/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There may have been a few empty seats, but there was certainly no lack of heat as the 2024 Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention kicked off in Appleton Saturday. Elected officials from Washington, D.C. to Madison spoke about issues impacting Wisconsinites, ranging from abortion and immigration to the University of Wisconsin’s failure to enforce the law and condemn antisemitic behavior on the Milwaukee and Madison campuses. Opening remarks were given by Brian Schimming, Chairman Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Are we going to do what it takes to save America?” Schimming asked the audience. Foreign policy Speaking on the Federal legislative panel, Senator Ron Johnson, Rep. Van Orden, Rep. Bryan Steil tore apart the Democrats responses and failure to condemn antisemitism and enforce state law during recent protests. “We must stand with Israel. I stand with Israel,” said Van Orden, and the room applauded. . .Abortion Johnson urged the party to remain united to protect the right to life (pro-life). “Within the Republican Party, we have a broad spectrum … I think we all agree that life begins at conception, want to protect life,” Johnson said. “I completely respect that. But that’s not where probably most Americans, most Wisconsinites, and probably even most Republicans land,” Johnson added. . .The conservative media also was critical of the recent mainstream coverage of the UWM Pro-Palestinian protesters. A panelist said the mainstream media described the protests as “peaceful … or they (pro-Palestinian protesters) were just delivering food, or praying” when in reality they were chanting antisemitic slogans, graffitied sidewalks and walls, and erected illegal tents. “The things I described did not make most, if not all media reports,” the panelist said, noting “the media is censoring things.”)

— Questions concerning the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention in Collinsville May 24-25 – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who will the speakers at the convention be?
— How many delegates will attend and how many from each of the 102 counties?
— Who represents each of the 17 congressional districts on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee and what is their contact information?
— Who has replaced me as the member who represents the 3rd Congressional District on that committee and what reasons have been given for my removal?
— When will the committee post on the IRP website its most recent draft platform and list of resolutions?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote for or against the resolution that calls for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote for or against strengthening or weakening the following in the platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving)?
— Who are all the candidates for IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman? What are their qualifications? At this point, how many votes do each of them have?
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Who leads conservatives in Illinois today? Hopefully, by now, those leaders know which of the 17 members on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee are going to vote to strengthen the IRP platform and which ones are going to vote to weaken it. Because IRP leaders ever-increasingly say and do less to defend and advance the following planks in the Republican Party platform, I fear that efforts are underway to weaken those planks: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). IRP leaders ever-increasingly talk and/or act like they believe that to win elections in Illinois, the IRP has to be Democrat-Lite if not officially dump the aforesaid planks. If anti-conservative IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee members win by small margins on May 24 in Collinsville, conservative leaders should be ready to immediately file timely minority reports like the one that they filed at the 2016 convention so that delegates can vote for them on May 25. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Those who want to drive conservatives like me out of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) and destroy the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO use the current system to elect IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. So of course, they vehemently oppose direct election of IRP SCC members. They take all the adverse actions that they can to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who support direct election. So far, they have a) ended my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ended my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ended my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006, j) ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/missouri-candidate-kkk-can-stay-on-republican-ballot/3440913/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A longshot Missouri gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ku Klux Klan will stay on the Republican ticket, a judge ruled Friday. Cole County Circuit Court Judge Cotton Walker denied a request by the Missouri GOP to kick Darrell McClanahan out of the August Republican primary. McClanahan is running against Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, state Sen. Bill Eigel and others for the GOP nomination to replace Gov. Mike Parson, who is barred by term limits from seeking reelection. McClanahan’s lawyer, Dave Roland, said the ruling ensures that party leaders do not have “almost unlimited discretion to choose who’s going to be allowed on a primary ballot.” . . . The Missouri GOP accepted his party dues but denounced him after a former state lawmaker posted photos on social media that appear to show McClanahan making the Nazi salute. McClanahan confirmed the accuracy of the photos to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In his decision, Walker wrote that the Republican Party “has made clear that it does not endorse his candidacy, and it remains free to publicly disavow McClanahan and any opinions the plaintiff believes to be antithetical to its values.” “I’m not sure they ever actually intended to win this case,” said McClanahan’s lawyer, Roland. “I think the case got filed because the Republican Party wanted to make a very big public show that they don’t want to be associated with racism or anti-Semitism. And the best way that they could do that was filing a case that they knew was almost certain to lose.” The Associated Press’ emailed requests for comment to the Missouri GOP executive director and its lawyer were not immediately returned Friday. But Missouri GOP lawyers have said party leaders did not realize who McClanahan was when he signed up as a candidate back in February. McClanahan has argued that the Missouri GOP was aware of the beliefs. He previously ran as a Republican for U.S. Senate in 2022. In a separate lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League last year, McClanahan claimed the organization defamed him by calling him a white supremacist in an online post. In his lawsuit against the ADL, McClanahan described himself as a “Pro-White man.” McClanahan wrote that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan; he said received an honorary one-year membership. And he said he attended a “private religious Christian Identity Cross lighting ceremony falsely described as a cross burning.”)

— Illinois high school senior killed weeks before graduation by alleged drunk driver going over 120 mph – Nicholas McEntyre COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly promote vices including booze and pot.)
https://nypost.com/2024/05/19/us-news/illinois-student-marko-niketic-killed-weeks-before-graduation-by-alleged-drunk-driver-taeyoung-kim-going-over-120-mph-report/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A high school senior was killed just weeks before graduation when a suspected drunk driver, speeding at over 120 mph, split his car into two during a crash in a Chicago suburb. Marko Niketic, 17, was driving with his 16-year-old girlfriend in Glenview, IL when a sports car struck their vehicle at an intersection just after 11 p.m. on May 12. The driver, Taeyoung Kim, 21, had been driving his 2021 Ford Mustang with a passenger from his home in Northbrook to downtown Chicago and back earlier in the day, according to court records obtained by NBC Chicago. “The investigation revealed at 2308 hours (11:08 p.m.) on May 12, Kim drove his vehicle westbound on East Lake Ave, at a high rate of speed in a reckless manner,” the Glenview Police Department said. Kim’s car crashed into Niketic as the teen was making a left turn through the intersection of East Lake Ave and Meadow Lane, approximately 20 miles northwest of Chicago. Kim had been racing past other cars going westbound on Lake Ave, with one driver noting Kim increasing speeds and turning his headlights off. “As Niketic began turning, Kim’s vehicle approached the intersection at an immense rate of speed, still with the headlights off,” the court documents allege. “Just as Kim was entering the intersection, the headlights turned back on as Kim’s vehicle crashed into Niketic’s vehicle.” The front of Kim’s car struck the driver’s side of Niketic’s vehicle, splitting it into two. The front half of Niketic’s sedan remained in the road, with the back half being sent flying through a nearby fence and landing in a backyard. Kim’s car, which had a dashcam recording his joyride, came to a halt near a tree on the side of the road. Witnesses inside the homes near the scene of the crash immediately called 911 before rushing to the scene and observed Niketic inside his vehicle, appearing to be deceased, Kim’s bond court proffer read. Other witnesses observed Kim sitting inside his car and admitted he had been drinking, while his passenger was lying on the ground bleeding heavily, WMAQ reported. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His girlfriend and Kim’s passenger were both rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Niketic’s girlfriend, who remains unidentified, suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, hematoma of the brain, a fracture of the pelvis vertebrae and hyper-density of the left frontal lobe of the brain with loss of consciousness and seizure. She was released from the hospital on Friday. Kim’s passenger sustained a fracture to his back and a severed artery in the crash. Kim suffered a broken femur, and a blood-drawn test concluded he had a blood alcohol level of .088, the test also revealed he had cannabis in his system. During their investigation, police found a bong, rolling papers, a one-hitter cannabis pipe with residue and two plastic containers with cannabis residue inside Kim’s vehicle. Kim was arrested on Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated DUI causing death, reckless homicide, aggravated DUI causing great bodily harm, DUI of alcohol, DUI of drugs, and several traffic violations including speeding 35 mph over the limit. He appeared in court on Saturday. Kim is being held without bond, and his next court date is scheduled for May 24, according to jail records viewed by The Post. Niketic’s funeral was held on Thursday, two days before his high school, Glenbrook South, held its prom. Niketic was set to graduate on June 2. “He’s one of those people, you meet him, and he’s glowing. The most genuine human ever,” friend Preston Shute told NBC Chicago. “He had a lot of stuff ahead of him. I can’t really process it.”)

They wasted the knowledge of IRS that I gained 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 wasted what I learned earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. They wasted what I learned passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt.

https://www.gopusa.com/taxpayers-lose-billions-to-government-overlap-duplication/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Overlap and duplication cost taxpayers billions, according to a new report from a Congressional watchdog. The U.S. Government Accountability Office’s annual report identified opportunities to save billions of dollars by reducing overlap, duplication and fragmentation across the federal government. The report outlines 112 measures that Congress and federal agencies could take to save money and improve government services. “This year’s report provides Congress and federal agencies with new opportunities to save federal dollars, increase revenue, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a wide range of federal programs,” said Gene Dodaro, comptroller general and head of the GAO. “By addressing this year’s pointed list, as well as open recommendations to both agencies and Congress from GAO’s past work, the federal government could potentially save tens of billions of dollars.”)

The system used by the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to elect its State Central Committee (SCC) members has resulted in the IRP and its candidates failing/refusing to defend/advance the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, the IRP and its candidates paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Consequently, ever-increasingly, Republican candidates ever-increasingly lose elections in Illinois. Going back to direct election of IRP SCC members would allow candidates to run who could/would defend/advance the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

— I should write a book about the tremendous downside of helping elect political candidates. I would focus on those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who I have done the most to help elect and to reelect since 2000 but a) who have suffered defeats and/or have won by a smaller margins than they expected, b) who have blamed their defeats on me and on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most, c) who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me to punish me, d) who oppose direct election of Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members the most, and/or e) who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who had their nasty operatives and nasty dupes a) end my membership on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee this year, b) end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) end my bid to be appointed to fill a Wheaton City Council vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, e) end my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) end my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) end my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) end my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) end my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) end my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004. – Dave Diersen

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— Is the profession damaging its own pipeline? – Paige Hagy (COMMENT: What about age discrimination and reverse discrimination? I was a 30-year-old White male when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I subsequently a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. But the accounting profession, IRS, and GAO had no interest in me because they considered me to “too old” to have a successful career in accounting. Further, I was a White male and the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote minorities and females. Further, I was conservative, Republican, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, I had lived in Crete 1948-1972, and I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. Back then, as it is now, the accounting profession continues to be under tremendous pressure from Democrat and RINO leaders to give preference to young people who are minority and/or female. To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group.)
