— CPAC Honors Openly Gay Scott Presler with 2021 Ronald Reagan Award – Michael W. Chapman
(DIERSEN: LGBTQ-promoters destroy those like me who do not promote LGBTQ. Those who promote LGBTQ, their operatives, and their dupes have always worked the hardest a) against me, b) against what I do as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, and c) against my what I did as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.)
https://cnsnews.com/article/national/michael-w-chapman/cpac-honors-openly-gay-scott-presler-2021-ronald-reagan-award
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Although CPAC is the “conservative” action conference, it does not hesitate to recognize and promote homosexuality. In addition to honoring Scott Presler, CPAC, as it has done for many years, permitted the Log Cabin Republicans to exhibit their materials at the conference. The Log Cabin group is comprised of LGBT Republicans who want to “build a stronger, more inclusive Republican Party,” states its website. “LGBT Republicans and straight allies have chosen to transform the GOP from the inside, working to overcome the forces of exclusion and intolerance.” The group supported Donald Trump for president in 2020. Although the issue did not get a lot of press during President Trump’s term in office, it is no secret that he is a strong supporter of the LGBT community and made efforts to hire and promote homosexuals in the federal government. For instance, President Trump named Richard Grenell as ambassador to Germany. Grenell, who is gay, lives with his long-time partner Matt Lashey. Trump later promoted Grenell to acting director of the Office of National Intelligence. Grenell also served as Trump’s senior adviser on LGBTQ outreach, an initiative in 2020 called Trump Pride. On Twitter, Grenell praised Trump as “the most pro-gay president in American history.” Trump supports same-sex marriage. As president, he pushed a policy to help end the criminalization of homosexuality worldwide. He also made it possible for uninsured gays to get a pre-HIV medicine for free. In addition, Trump nominated lesbian Mary Rowland to the federal bench in Illinois; she was confirmed by the Senate. Trump judicial nominee Patrick Bumatay, who is gay, was confirmed by the Senate.)

— Trump attacks Kinzinger, other Republicans who backed impeachment in CPAC speech. “I’m not surprised by anything he said. I expected to be called out by name. I’m surprised it’s taken this long,” said Kinzinger.” – Lynn Sweet

https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/2/28/22306565/trump-attacks-rep-adam-kinzinger-other-republicans-who-backed-impeachment-cpac-speech-pac
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kinzinger is raising money through his federal Future First PAC for his recently launched “Country First” campaign to drain Trump’s influence, fringe elements and conspiracy theory followers from the Republican Party. Donations to that Kinzinger Future First political war chest are subject to federal contribution caps. Allies of Kinzinger are creating “Americans Keeping Country First,” which will be able to take donations in unlimited sums. “Americans Keeping Country First is the only Super PAC dedicated exclusively to protecting Republican members who voted to impeach or convict” Trump, the group said. According to memos obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, this super PAC, first disclosed by the Washington Post, will be “dedicated solely to defending the Republican members of Congress who took votes of conscience to impeach or convict President Trump after rioters stormed the Capitol complex on January 6th, 2021.” Even though this group cannot coordinate with Kinzinger’s political drives, he plans to headline events on its behalf where he will “promote” his Country First principles, the group said. This is allowed under Federal Election Commission rules. The goal, the group said, is to “build a potent political operation that provides a counterweight to far-right candidates and groups that threaten primary campaigns against principled House Republican members.” Ardent Trump backer Catalina Lauf announced a Kinzinger 2022 GOP primary challenge. Kinzinger has not made his 2022 plans known. . .Illinois GOP Party not pursuing Kinzinger censure Several Illinois county GOP organizations and the Chicago Republican Party have censured Kinzinger in the wake of his impeachment vote. The Chicago GOP party vote on Feb. 23 was among 34 ward committeemen; the organization has 16 of those 50 ward spots unfilled. What’s noteworthy is that the Illinois Republican Party is not pursuing a Kinzinger censure. According to the GOP party spokesman, the view of the new state GOP party chair, Don Tracy, is that the state party “will not be censuring Congressman Kinzinger. His goal is to unite the party and stop the circular firing squad.”)

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-02-28/trump-cpac-speech-get-rid-of-them-all
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of the pro-impeachment Republicans Trump singled out, said earlier in the day that the former president’s focus on retribution would continue to divide their party. “I think we are a party that’s been for too long peddling in fear, using fear as a compelling way to get votes. And fear does motivate,” he said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “But after a while, fear can destroy a country, can destroy narratives, and it can destroy a democracy,” he said. “And we have to quit peddling that.”)

MORNING BREW
— Why Publishers Put Up Paywalls. We know they can be a buzzkill; here’s why paywalls exist. – Eliza Carter
(DIERSEN: www.gopillinois.com will never have a paywall or advertising. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions will always be free and without advertising. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are furious about that. They are furious that I have the time, money, ability, and motivation to put together and send out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening.)
https://www.morningbrew.com/daily/stories/2021/02/05/publishers-put-paywalls

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Morning Brew, frustrated readers email us all the time about getting blocked from reading content we’ve recommended in the newsletter, and as readers ourselves, we empathize. But I want to take a moment to explain why publishers put up paywalls—and unpack the economics a bit. First, the basics. Any publisher, from the New Yorker to Cracked, traditionally brings in revenue from either a) advertising or b) subscriptions. Advertising is great—Morning Brew built a tremendous ad-based business—but subscriptions can be steadier. If the economy takes a dip, ad spending usually does too. How do you drive subscriptions? Not by giving away content for free. Hence, paywalls.)

— Remember the Good Old Days? No Need to Feel Ashamed if You Do. Nostalgia can bring comfort and meaning, even inspiration. It’s about the future more than the past. – Clay Routledge
(DIERSEN: When were your Good Old Days? Career-wise, my Good Old Days include 1972, 1973, and 1974 when my GAO mentor promoted me to GS-9 (currently $59,258/year), GS-11 (currently $71,697/year), and GS-12 (currently $85,935/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. Career-wise, my Good Old Days include 1986, 1987, and 1988 when my GAO mentor got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $102,188/year). But then, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. My Good Old Days include 1970 when I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, 1976 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, 1980 when I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. My Good Old Days include 1979 when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and 1981 when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. My Good Old Days include 1972, 1974, and 1976 when I bought real estate and 1978 and 1984 when my wife and I bought real estate. My Good Old Days include 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. when I bought news cars and 1989 and 1994 when bought collector cars. My Good Old Days include every day since I got married in 1978.)

Beyond overwhelmingly, Trump-haters are filled with hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, veterans, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, Taylor Green gave a floor speech in opposition of the bill and then unsuccessfully tried to adjourn the House to block its movement through the chamber. That prompted Newman, whose new office in Washington’s Longworth House Office Building is directly across the hall from Taylor Greene’s, to display a transgender flag in the hallway. Newman tweeted a video of herself putting up the flag so that Taylor Greene “can look at it every time she opens her door.” That prompted Taylor Greene to post a similar video of herself putting up a sign on the wall across the hall from Newman that reads, “There are TWO genders MALE & FEMALE. ‘Trust the science!’”)

They stress that I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. In my defense, I stress that a) I survived 7 years as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, b) I survived 8 years a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, c) I survived 6 years as a Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, d) I survived 4 years as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and e) I survived 3 years as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.)

— How Judges’ Work Experience Can Impact Court Rulings — And Legal Precedent – CARRIE JOHNSON
(DIERSEN: What is your work experience? Everyone should know everyone’s work experience. My critics/opponents badmouth my work experience. I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/how-judges-work-experience-can-impact-court-rulings-and-legal-precedent#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Judges with backgrounds as prosecutors or corporate lawyers, who represent the majority of federal district court jurists, are significantly more likely to rule in favor of employers in workplace disputes, according to a new study of diversity on the bench. Emory University law professor Joanna Shepherd conducted the study, which she described as the first published research about whether judges from certain professional backgrounds are more likely to rule against workers. Shepherd concluded that judges appointed by former President Barack Obama with corporate backgrounds are 36% less likely to rule on behalf of employees. Obama judges who have a background as prosecutors are 50% less likely to decide in favor of employees in those cases compared with non-prosecutors, she reported. Her work received some financial support from the group Demand Justice, which advocates for progressive judicial nominees. The new findings come as advocates push for greater professional diversity among President Biden’s presumptive judicial nominees. Former prosecutors and corporate lawyers make up nearly 7 in 10 judges on the federal district courts, which consider lawsuits over employment, immigration, the environment and other topics.
“Our results suggest that expanding the professional diversity of the federal judiciary will do more than just create a judiciary that is more representative of the legal profession,” Shepherd said. “It can affect actual case outcomes and, as a result, the development of legal precedent.”)

February 19 Morning Edition

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Will County Republicans voted overwhelmingly Thursday night to censure Rep. Adam Kinzinger for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. The 111 to 5 vote (and one abstention) for censure “is meant to remind the representative who he represents: the people who elected him, not his self-interests,” said Will County Republican Chairman George Pearson, adding that Kinzinger’s decision to start a PAC that “goes against other Republicans was a betrayal.” Pearson said his next task is to find a challenger for Kinzinger’s seat. The rebuke comes a few days after the Iroquois County GOP in central Illinois voted to censure. LaSalle County’s Republican Central Committee voted to censure earlier this month. All three counties are among the 14 counties that make up Kinzinger’s 16th Congressional District. Kinzinger issued a statement criticizing GOP leaders in Will County for not doing more to elect Republicans and calling the county GOP “inept.” “Maybe if the Will County GOP spent the same amount of time and energy helping local Republicans as they do with petty censure votes to go after those that vote their conscience, they might actually win a few races,” Kinzinger said. He said Will County has gone from a “staunchly conservative county where Republicans controlled the board and held countywide offices” to one that’s seen Democrats take control of county board seats. “The leaders of the Will County GOP have proven they are unable to assist Republican candidates in winning these especially important elections. As the last federal Republican official representing Will County, I have been saddened by this ineptitude.” – Shia Kapos

— Pension checks — big ones — are in the monthly mail – Jim Dey
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-pension-checks-big-ones-are-in-the-monthly-mail/article_d37a16cf-30fb-5681-bd89-a521348be59f.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Holding the No. 1 position is former Republican legislator and Judge Edward Petka, who collects a monthly check of $18,062. That’s $216,747 a year, an amount sweetened by those 3 percent annual cost-of-living increases. In Petka’s case, his 3 percent increase amounts to an extra $6,500 a year, a roughly $500-per-month hike. Former Democratic state Rep. Gary Hannig of Litchfield, who worked in former Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration, collects $14,584 per month. His wife, Elizabeth, who succeeded her husband when he left the Illinois House to work for Quinn, supplements her husband’s pension by collecting a monthly pension check of $4,373 per month. Together, they collect pension checks totaling $18,957 per month — $227,484 for the year. Former Gov. Jim Edgar holds the No. 5 slot, collecting $15,102 per month. The list of recipients includes scoundrels. Among them is indicted former state Rep. Luis Arroyo. Charged with bribery and forced to resign from the Illinois House in 2019, he’s collecting $4,507 per month, a perk he might be forced to forfeit if he is convicted on the political corruption charge. Another notorious pension recipient is former Chicago-area state Sen. Ira Silverstein, who lost his elective office after being implicated in an embarrassing sexual-harassment case. He receives $6,600 per month. Other prominent legislative monthly pension recipients are Quinn, $12,864; former state senator and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, $12,811; former state senator and former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, $12,789; former Lt. Gov. Robert Kustra, $11,859; Jayne Thompson, wife of the late Gov.

(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The riff in the Republican Party is between a) those who want to defend and advance the party’s platform and b) those who want to dump the party’s platform, and especially its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization a) who reject some, many, most, if not all of the aforesaid planks and b) who do everything that can to get rid of Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains who support the aforesaid planks.)

— China steps up online controls with new rule for bloggers – HUIZHONG WU and FU TING
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents what to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. But failing that, they want reporters and journalists like me to be credentialed, and of course, to meet their credentialing requirements. They want me to get permission from the following before I include links to articles in GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party.)
https://nepal24hours.com/china-steps-up-online-controls-with-new-rule-for-bloggers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Beginning next week, the Cyberspace Administration of China will require bloggers and influencers to have a government-approved credential before they can publish on a wide range of subjects. Some fear that only state media and official propaganda accounts will get permission. While permits have been needed since at least 2017 to write about topics such as political and military affairs, enforcement has not been widespread. The new rules expand that requirement to health, economics, education and judicial matters. . .The new credential requirement could restrict individuals from posting original content, including people like Ma who aren’t openly challenging the line of Xi’s ruling Communist Party. Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei, responding to Ma on the platform, said commentary on news released by official media was permitted but commentators could not “release news” themselves. . .A notice on Sohu in January, which also hosts microblogs, said public accounts without credentials must not issue or republish current affairs news. Banned topics include “articles and commentary on politics, economics, military affairs, diplomatic and public affairs; Taking out of context and distorting the content of the Party and country’s history; breaking news and commentary.” Internet giant Baidu, which also has a publishing platform, issued a similar notice. It is unclear to what extent bloggers will be punished if they publish commentary without the credentials.)

(DIERSEN: Comparing Missouri with Illinois says a lot.)
https://news.stlpublicradio.org/government-politics-issues/2021-02-11/new-chairman-takes-control-of-missouri-republican-party-thats-riding-high
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For newly elected Missouri Republican Party Chairman Nick Myers, his primary goal as leader of the state GOP is pretty simple. “My goal is to elect Republicans,” Myers said. Myers, a certified public accountant from Newton County and longtime party insider, said Missouri Republicans are well positioned to defend a U.S. Senate seat and capture the state auditor’s office next year. And based on the party’s off-the-charts performance in rural and exurban counties, those hopes appear within reach. Missouri Republicans have had four good election cycles in a row — most recently 2020, in which the party swept key statewide races and faced minimal losses to its supermajorities in the Missouri General Assembly. There are plenty of theories behind Republican ascendency, including capturing bellwether areas like Jefferson County or historically Democratic turf in northeast and southeast Missouri. Myers points to how Missouri voters tend to be more conservative and are therefore more responsive to a party that embraces right-of-center ideas. “I think that the Republican Party on the platform, and in general principles, is in sync with Missourians,” Myers said. “And when Missourians understand what the Republican platform and principles are, they will come out and vote for that.”)

https://townhall.com/columnists/ilanamercer/2021/02/12/rising-republican-rotters-to-look-out-for-n2584640
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political pygmy Adam Kinzinger was another young GOPer to rush onto the “enemedia” to announce his hackneyed vision for reclaiming the GOP from the deforming clutches of Trump and MAGA America. Last month, Kinzinger voted to impeach President Trump. He further swelled the chorus by announcing that “the Republican Party had lost its way. If we are to lead again, we need to muster the courage to remember who we are.” So original. So inspirational. “We need to remember what we believe and why we believe it,” Kinzinger continued. “Looking in the mirror can be hard, but the time has come to choose what kind of party we will be, and what kind of future we’ll fight to bring about.” (CNN) With his Country First initiative, Kinzinger evinces his inability to comprehend that, for him, the “Country” ought to comprise of his constituents, the people he represents. It is the lead of his constituents that Kinzinger is obliged to follow, not his own political métier. Kinzinger is a spawn of the military. While we’re at it, let us dispatch for once and for all of the conservative mythology surrounding the philosophical fabric of the military, these days (in Kinzinger’s case the reserve). Isn’t it obvious the military is becoming a morass of leftism, statism, feminism, reverse-racism, interventionism, propositionalism, and other poisonous creeds? If nothing else, the Trump years have made it clear that the military brass has aligned with the Left.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: Dispute over how GOP chose Naperville Township candidates results in two slates on ballot, court fight – SUZANNE BAKER
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-township-ballot-lawsuit-st-0210-20210209-xwpvrl37mvamzedhbfn4nehjyq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ballots cannot be altered to remove names because they are being prepared in advance of early voting, which starts Feb. 25. The controversy centers on accusations from 17 township residents who say the Republican caucus held virtually Dec. 1 via the internet-based platform Zoom was neither fair nor honest, which is why they held their own caucus instead. Republican organization Chairman Jim Ruhl said the decision to host the caucus via Zoom was made so that anyone, including older people and those who fearful of going out in public because of the coronavirus pandemic, could participate. To provide more flexibility, Republicans who are not internet savvy had the option of calling in by phone, he said. “We did not want to disenfranchise any voter,” Ruhl said. “We chose Zoom for the health and well-being of everyone.” At a meeting a month before the caucus, the organization agreed to slate candidates for the two township positions held by Republicans now: the seats of Assessor Warren Dixon III and Trustee Paul Santucci, he said. Dixon plans to step down and asked Matthew Rasche to run as his replacement; Santucci is seeking reelection. Both candidates were approved during the organization’s virtual caucus Dec. 1. The other set of candidates was selected the same night in the parking lot outside the Naperville Township offices on Water Street in Naperville. They include Lynda Segneri for supervisor, Barbara Lukoff for clerk, Gary Vician for assessor, and Thomas Laz, Gabby Serna and Bill Breyne for the three open trustee seats. That slate was not certified by the township clerk nor forwarded to the county clerk so the candidates filed a lawsuit to have their names listed on the ballot. Attorney Keri-Lyn Krafthefer, who represents the plaintiffs, said 17 Republican voters showed up at the Naperville Township offices Dec. 1 for the caucus. When they were denied in-person access to the meeting, they caucused outside in the parking lot, Krafthefer said. Their lawsuit contends there is no provision in state law that permits a caucus election to be conducted electronically. Vician said a caucus is essentially a primary election, and elections are held in person, not virtually. Caucusing in person allows everyone to have a voice and speak freely, he said. “You really can’t do that on a Zoom call,” Vician said. “In a Zoom meeting, you can be silenced (through muting or ignoring someone who raises their hand).” Rather than decide which slate of candidates should be on the April 6 ballot, DuPage Judge James McCluskey ruled everyone would be listed for the consolidated election. In a written ruling explanation issued Friday, McCluskey said the Zoom caucus was “not properly conducted in a fair and honest manner.” The judge said he agreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that the Zoom caucus was held “in blatant contravention to the Township Code and the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-73 which exempts Township Caucuses from electronic means.” Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Nov. 18 coronavirus mitigation order to which the judge referred was interpreted differently by the two sides. Krafthefer said the governor’s executive order “does not apply to the December 2020 township caucuses,” which means caucuses can be held in person as required by state law. But Ruhl said the Republican organization was following the governor’s directive. The same order a few sentences later says, “Nothing in this Executive Order prohibits caucuses from being held virtually, and caucus organizers are encouraged to facilitate virtual attendance, to convene outdoors, and must adhere to all Social Distancing Requirements.” Ruhl said he’s not sure when the appellate court will rule, though he expects a decision will be made before April 6 when votes are counted.)

If it leads to something else, so be it, I’m at peace. But right now, the battle is to save the soul of this party.” As for LaSalle County Republicans censuring him last week and the state GOP saying it “disagrees” with Kinzinger’s views, Kinzinger said, “I prefer not to be censured, but I really, really will not lose an ounce of sleep if I am. Not even an ounce.”

— House Republicans Announce 47 Democrats They Hope to Unseat – Reid J. Epstein
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/politics/house-republicans-democrats-midterm-elections.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At least six House Democrats who represent districts Mr. Trump carried in November are on the N.R.C.C. list: Representatives Cindy Axne of Iowa, Cheri Bustos of Illinois, Jared Golden of Maine, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Andy Kim of New Jersey and Ron Kind of Wisconsin. Ms. Bustos, who led the House Democrats’ campaign arm in 2020, had margins of victory that shrunk from 24 percentage points in 2018 to four points in 2020. But with Illinois certain to lose at least one seat, her gerrymandered district, which snakes around to include Democratic-leaning sections of Peoria and Rockford along with the Illinois portion of the Quad Cities, will change before she faces voters again.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Problems remembering names and conversations, difficulty paying attention, and slower processing speeds — these are all symptoms that people are experiencing post-COVID-19 infections. A new University of California, San Francisco study indicates these brain-related symptoms may be quite common. . .Dr. Hellmuth recently published a study that shows 20% of her the participants had persistent cognitive symptoms after COVID infections. “These problems seem to be quite common.” She says her study was based on 100 patients, none of whom had been hospitalized. Their ages ranged from 35-56 and the median age was 39. “Surviving from COVID is great, but we now need to be also thinking about the long term impacts to society, if we have millions of people who are no longer able to contribute in the workplace like they used to.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Capitol riots, can Republicans still count on corporate Chicago for cash? “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says one GOP fundraiser. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” – GREG HINZ
(DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. How many major donors hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that is done to get rid of Trump-supporters, the more money that they will give? 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump, 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump, 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump, and 157 in my precinct voted for Trump.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-capitol-riots-can-republicans-still-count-corporate-chicago-cash
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “A lot of companies are keeping their powder dry for a while,” says fundraiser Lisa Wagner, who works for an A-list of Republican officials. “Every PAC I’ve talked to says they’re going to reassess.” Wagner says corporations are under more pressure today to justify their political giving and that recent decisions to reassess after the Capitol riot ought to be viewed in that light. Going the furthest at this point is Northern Trust. “Recent political events require that the (company’s) PACs now consider additional criteria prior to making a political contribution,” the bank said in a statement. “The PACs now will exclude from future consideration any members of the U.S. Congress who voted against acceptance of the Electoral College vote results following the events of Jan. 6.” In Illinois, that would affect two GOP House members, downstaters Mary Miller and Mike Bost, who were among 138 House Republicans to vote to reject reported election results from Pennsylvania. Slightly less extensive are decisions made by firms including Exelon, Abbott, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez International, and Aon. Following previously announced decisions by McDonald’s, Discover, State Farm, Allstate and Boeing, they’ve temporarily halted donations to federal candidates. “Following the January riot at the U.S. Capitol, we immediately suspended all corporate and organized employee contribution (through our political action committee) to federal representatives at least through the end of the first quarter,” Mondelez said in a statement.)

— DECEMBER 17, 2018 FLASHBACK: Alumna Kate Siggerud on Government and the GAO Top executive in ‘congressional watchdog’ agency guided by Humphrey School values – Carmen Peota
(DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast Siggerud’s GAO career with my GAO career. GAO audits IRS. I started with GAO as an Analyst in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I brought with me almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take a $20,361/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. 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. In 1986, the GAO manager who hired me finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. But my Democrat GAO superiors forced him to retire in 1987 and threw me off audits of IRS in 1988. Nevertheless, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. Nevertheless, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Siggerud started as an analyst at the agency’s Chicago field office just after earning her master’s degree in public policy in 1987. She has now risen to one of the GAO’s top jobs, chief operating officer, and is a member of the agency’s executive committee. As COO, Siggerud oversees all of the 700 to 800 reports GAO generates each year.)

I do not promote LGBTQ. I should write a book about those who blacklist me because I do not promote LGBTQ.)

The 19 states were California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington state.)
