— Democrats crow that “In Chicago visit, Jill Biden calls union workers backbone of this country.” I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrat GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

STATELINE
— Democrats acknowledge that “GOP attorneys general warn law firms against using race-based hiring practices.” Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly make it clear that they reject the Supreme Court Affirmative Action (AA) decision. While I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat superiors used AA, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to waste my career and to get rid of me.

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— Illinois Presidential Poll (COMMENT: As a Republican Precinct Committeeman, for general elections, I am obligated to and I have always supported those candidates who won Republican primary elections. However, I am ever-increasingly reluctant to support candidates in Republican primary elections. Far too many of them and their political consultants, pollsters, fundraisers, major donors, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, and supporters blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats.)
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/08/30/illinois-presidential-poll/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 53% of Republicans support Donald Trump. . .The poll drilled down a level further, asking Republicans and Democrats who they would support if Trump and Biden were not in the running. For Republicans, 26% would nominate Ron DeSantis, followed by Vivek Ramaswamy (16%), Mike Pence (10%) and Nikki Haley (10%).)

— These are the salaries single people need to survive in every state – Adriana Diaz (COMMENT: The salary is $63,930 for Illinois. I got married in 1978. In today’s dollars, while I was single and working for IRS 1971-1978, my salary increased from $52,022 in 1971 when I was 22 to $63,633 in 1972, to $76,990 in 1973, to $92,279 in 1974, and to $101,507 in 1978. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The aforesaid salaries enabled me a) to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola 1972-1976, c) to buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) to buy a new Dodge Dart in 1973, e) to buy a studio condo in the Loop in 1974, f) to pay for tuition and books for graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1978, and g) to buy a one bedroom condo in the Loop in 1976. I still own that 1972 Corvette and the furniture that I bought in 1972, 1974, and 1976 is either in the finished basement of our Wheaton home or in our Iron Gate Motor Condo in Naperville.)

CHRISTIAN POST
— Orland Park Stephen Pastor indicted with Trump in Georgia released on bail with help of conservative group – Ryan Foley
https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-indicted-with-trump-in-georgia-released-on-bail.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lee’s gratitude on Sunday likely stems from his inclusion on the Living Word prayer list for Aug. 27, which calls for “prayers of guidance and blessing” for the Lee family “as they work for their current struggles, and a prayer of thanksgiving for support.” In an appearance on “Diamond & Silk: The Podcast” Thursday, Lee’s attorney, David Shestokas, told the conservative influencer known as Silk that his client was due to report to jail the following day. He noted that if convicted, Lee faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison. After detailing how Fulton County had set Lee’s bond at $75,000, with the defendant expected to pay 10% upfront, Shestokas reported that the conservative advocacy organization Illinois Family Institute set up a defense fund for Lee that had raised almost $4,000. Silk, whose name is Herneitha Richardson, offered to “make a contribution and pay that $3,500,” instructing Shestokas to tell his client “don’t worry” because “Diamond and Silk: Chit Chat Live is going to pay that $3,500 that he needs.” “Once he [pays] that and if he’s found not guilty, will he get that money back?” Silk asked. After Shestokas responded in the affirmative, Silk urged Lee to donate the $3,500 to his church if/when he is found not guilty. The Illinois Family Institute’s efforts to raise money for Lee’s legal defense continue as the organization partners with a honey company called MakeHoneyGreatAgain.com, which has committed to donating “a significant portion of the proceeds from their honey sales” to Lee’s defense. In his conversation with Silk, Shestokas said Lee served as a chaplain to the New York Police Department and New York firefighters after 9/11. He also ministered to Hurricanes Katrina and Irma victims, the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, and the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.)

In 2003 I served as a) the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, c) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, d) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and I played a very big role in MTRO’s fundraiser and straw poll that year, e) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, f) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, and g) a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I organized a July 3rd picnic for the voters in my precinct and the precincts to the east and west that more than 200 attended including five Republican candidates for U.S. Senate: John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan.

— ‘Forgotten’ middle class is WORSE off when they retire now compared to 20 years ago – ALEXA LARDIERI (COMMENT: If my Democrat GAO had not succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” 26 years ago in 1997 when I was 49, I would have been eligible for regular retirement 20 years ago in 2003 when I was 55. Because of my early retirement, my Civil Service Retirement System pension has always been dramatically reduced and it always will be dramatically reduced. In today’s dollars, it is a) only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and b) less than what my IRS salary was in 1972 when I was 23.)

My critics/opponents a) ended my TAPROOT service in 2012, b) ended my WCC GAC service in 2011, c) ended my ICRC service in 2007, and d) ended my MTRO and AAPC service in 2004.

I organized a July 3rd picnic for the voters in my precinct and the precincts to the east and west that more than 200 attended including five Republican candidates for U.S. Senate: John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and Jack Ryan.

I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremony.

I attended CPAC and the Chicago Conservative Conference.

I gathered signatures in my precinct on petitions for all the Republican primary candidates on the 2004 Republican primary ballot in my precinct.

I pursued my lawsuit against GAO. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf and https://casetext.com/case/diersen-v-walker-2 and https://casetext.com/case/diersen-v-walker

I served as the Treasurer and a Director of Adversity.Net. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adversity.net

I organized Republican use of a building and its lot immediately east of the Wheaton train station.

— A time to celebrate labor’s successes and acknowledge its challenges in Illinois – Tim Drea and Pat Devaney (COMMENT: I was a union member while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980. While I was a union member, my salary increased from $18.05/hour to $104,583/year in today’s dollars. My critics/opponents are vehemently anti-union. Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, they have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid. In Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me, it viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being overpaid. In my defense, a) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, b) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) I became a licensed CPA in 1981. Since 1980, my critics/opponents have stressed that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But my Democrats GAO superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, females, and/or veteran.)

How strongly will they hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-conservative if not anti-Republican?

If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee. If GAO had been unionized in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors might not have succeeded in taking the many adverse actions against me that they did.

Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that if IRS had not been unionized, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. In my defense, the IRS manager who promoted me gave weight to the fact that I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.

— Pritzker signs 3 bills to safeguard Native American heritage in Illinois – Zeta Cross (COMMENT: I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that I opposed race based preference giving. To get me to immediately transfer back to IRS, they assigned their only Native America employee to supervise me. They used the performance appraisal he gave me to delay my promotions and to keep me off audits of IRS. He was younger than me, he had started his career with GAO as an intern, he had far less work experience than I had, and he was to the left of me. His superiors stressed to him that my ancestors had homesteaded a farm in Crete in 1854. While they let him work until he was eligible to take regular retirement, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. While I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980; while I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; while I became a licensed CPA in 1981; while I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997; and while I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, he did nothing like that.)

https://www.ammoland.com/2023/08/illinois-gun-law-forces-gun-owners-to-incriminate-themselves/#axzz8BfF58c59
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gun owners in Illinois are dealing with a world of unconstitutional gun laws. Aside from the 2nd Amendment challenges to a semi-automatic firearm and magazine ban, which has gone through the southern and northern districts and is now in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, they may also be dealing with a 5th Amendment violation issue. The gun and magazine ban does not just prohibit the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines; the ban also requires a self-registration registry. Registration requirements start in October. The violation of the 5th Amendment rights of Illinoisans comes from this mandatory registration that is being put on gun owners with a deadline of January 1, 2024. The registration mandate requires gun owners to give the State a list of all their newly “illegal” guns. The registration mandate includes all “banned” semi-automatic firearms and parts. In other words, anything that the state of Illinois may consider an “assault weapon.” That doesn’t seem right, does it? The state bans your perfectly legal (and in common use) guns & magazines and then makes you turn yourself in? The 5th Amendment reads: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or Naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war, or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense, to be twice put in jeopardy of life, or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Attorney Thomas Maag, who will be filing documents in court against the state of Illinois within the next few weeks, said, “We are actually working on a motion on the 5th Amendment argument as we speak. Frankly, we’re really concerned when this whole registration period starts if it’s not previously enjoined, that, with the vagueness, with a whole host of issues, people would be incriminating themselves.” Attorney Thomas Maag had previously filed the 5th Amendment argument as part of his previous challenge in the Southern District, but it had been postponed, so the law is currently in effect. Maag will be filing that 5th Amendment challenge in the hopes of protecting gun owners from having to incriminate themselves and face criminal consequences if they don’t register. We will most likely see this work its way through the courts. With any luck this could possibly get a preliminary injunction on the registry component of this law before it goes into effect in October.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The unique shelter for newly arrived migrants has been operating for four nearly four months, funded entirely by donations and staffed by volunteers – with no government subsidies or staffing. Now it must shut its doors for good. “Part of that is around our volunteer capacity, part of that is around our ability to fundraise,” said volunteer Anna DiStefano. . .Insurance issues with the property, lack of funding and staff – many of whom are educators and had to go back to the classrooms with the new school year – all contributed to its closing.)

— Democrats say “Feeling the heat, without Trump.”
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2023/08/24/feeling-the-heat-without-trump-00112719
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois was criticized for having a low credit rating — even below Chris Christie’s New Jersey. Sen. Tim Scott attacked Illinois, California and New York for allowing late-term abortions. Crime in Chicago came up a few times, including during a discussion about lockdowns during the pandemic. And Ramaswamy twice mentioned the South Side, saying instead of funding Ukraine, the government should help the Chicago neighborhood. Ramaswamy even described himself as “a skinny kid with a funny name.” Hey, that’s Barack Obama’s line! Christie would use the line to attack Ramaswamy on Obama-era policies. Gov. JB Pritzker responded to one of the attacks this way: “Pretty sure a vast majority of voters would be just fine if abortion policy was left up to Illinois,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. A few take-aways from Illinoisans seated in the arena: Sue Rezin, the Illinois state senator, liked Ron DeSantis’ “common-sense approach” to government, saying, “it demonstrates that he’s able to comprehend and tackle the important issues that are crushing hard-working families and threatening our national security.” Ashvin Lad, an entrepreneur, was “surprised at how little” the other candidates went after DeSantis, instead focusing their attacks on Ramaswamy. (Us, too, Ashvin.) Pat Brady, the former Illinois GOP leader saw Nikki Haley as “the clear choice,” adding, “Trump lite isn’t going to carry the day.” It was a reference to Ramaswamy and DeSantis. And Jim Durkin, the former Illinois House Republican leader: “Christie said what had to be said about Trump — calling him out for saying Putin is a genius and savvy for the invasion.” It prompted boos from the crowd, a reminder that Trump is still an integral part of the GOP, whether he’s on the stage or not. . .Some Chicago Republicans gathered at the Billy Goat Inn on Madison Avenue in Chicago Wednesday night to watch the Republican presidential debate. They took a straw poll. The winner: Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent of the vote, followed by Ron DeSantis at 22.5 percent; Mike Pence at (?) percent; Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum and Chris Christie, all at 2.5 percent; and Asa Hutchinson, zip. Some of the notables in the room: Chicago Republican Chair and Ward Committeeman Steve Boulton (32nd), former mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti and Nicki Fioretti, ward committee leaders Brian Kasal (43rd), Laura Kotelman (44th), Barry Bebart (39th), Steve Graves (19th), Wayland Johnson (9th), Chris Myers (28th), Evan Kasal (25th), Chicago Young Republicans President Lenny Sklaney, Surus LLC’s Barrett Davie and Chicago GOP Executive Director Jeff Fiedler.)

Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked from all sides with former Vice President Mike Pence calling him a “rookie,” and suggesting he was “too young” to be president. When questioned about supporting Ukraine, Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis said they would prioritize the U.S. southern border. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not raise his hand when asked if he would support Trump if he is convicted on criminal charges and becomes the Republican presidential nominee. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared to raise his hand, then later clarified that he would not support Trump as a nominee if he were convicted.)

I am especially thankful for the IRS manager who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. But my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of him.

NBC5
— Democrats say “Salary information coming to Illinois job postings under new law.” Federal employee salaries have always been transparent. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office offered me only $82,720/year (GS-9 Step 10) in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. In today’s dollars, that was a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut; my GS-12 Step 5 IRS salary was $104,583/year. GAO audits IRS. I was an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO as an Analyst. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. If I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran, GAO would have offered me a promotion at least to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, to transfer. GAO did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986. Since 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates and the rest of my critics/opponents have used the aforesaid pay cut against me big time.

According to my critics/opponents, I painted Roskam as being far more conservative than they wanted him to be painted. They cringed that I got 25 homeowners in my precinct to display signs for Roskam. Of course. my critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Roskam’s defeat in 2018.

They stressed that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my 1966 Crete-Monee High School class and that my ACT score was only 24. My Democrat superiors in the federal government ignored, dismissed, belittled, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the job-related degrees that I earned in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did.

— Gun owners describe to Pew survey why they own their weapons – Jennifer Harper
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/aug/20/inside-beltway-gun-owners-describe-why-they-own-th/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A sign of the times, perhaps: Gun owners in the United States continue to cite “protection” as the major reason they have a gun, according to a new Pew Research Center poll which reveals that 32% of Americans say they personally own a gun. Political persuasion plays a role. “About half of conservative Republicans (51%) say they own a gun. That compares with 38% of moderate and liberal Republicans, 24% of conservative and moderate Democrats, and 16% of liberal Democrats,” an analysis of the findings said. “While a sizable majority of gun owners (71%) say they enjoy having a gun, an even larger share (81%) say they feel safer owning a gun,” the analysis noted. The survey found that 72% of owners advise that “protection” is their major motivation — and it surpasses the shares of gun owners who cite other reasons for gun ownership — such as use in hunting, fishing, sports shooting or to satisfy a job requirement. “Gun ownership is far more common among residents of rural areas (47%) than among people living in suburbs (30%) or urban areas (20%). Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (45%) are far more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners (20%) to report owning a gun,” the findings continued. Meanwhile, just 12% of the gun owners said they were worried about having a gun in the home.)

— Every parent should fight back vs. the left’s war on merit – Karol Markowicz (COMMENT: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I owe none of my accomplishments in life to merit, but that I owe all my accomplishments in life to my benefitting tremendously from discrimination against Democrats, minorities, females, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on what they owe their accomplishments in life to.)
https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/every-parent-should-fight-back-vs-the-lefts-war-on-merit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It used to be obvious that merit is part of achieving the American dream. But like it’s doing to so many self-evident things, the left is attempting to destroy this idea as it pursues a Sovietesque system of “equity.” Parents might not see merit’s decline as a more pressing concern than their children being told they can be any gender they choose from day to day. Most kids are academically average. Why fight over merit when there are so many other ideological fights to be had? Parents have to see merit as part and parcel of the left’s push to impose its ridiculous concepts on our kids. The idea that everyone can have an equal outcome has been tried again and again in failed socialist countries. When the left succeeds in ending merit in a school, you can be sure the rest of the woke ideas parents abhor have already taken over the curriculum. Beyond that, our schools’ loss of rigor has dumbed down our country, and the retreat from pursuing merit has slowed success for so many kids.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The document’s first paragraph, addressing Mr. Ramaswamy’s past support for inheritance taxes, draws a link between that policy position and his Hindu upbringing as the son of Indian immigrants. “Ramaswamy — a Hindu who grew up visiting relatives in India and was very much ingrained in India’s caste system — supports this as a mechanism to preserve a meritocracy in America and ensure everyone starts on a level playing field,” the document states. . .Asked to comment on the reason for highlighting Mr. Ramaswamy’s religion and background, the super PAC’S chief executive, Chris Jankowski, said in a statement: “We are highlighting that his philosophy of government is a direct reflection of his life experience. When his parents moved here from India, they had an 85 percent inheritance tax. In fact, his support of the inheritance tax is connected to the argument he makes in his book against meritocracy.”)
— Democrats say “Courts Need to Protect Press Freedoms.” Since 2000, my critics/opponents have shouted at the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) that because I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, they have the power to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and failing that, they have the power to dictate what I include and what I do not include in those newsletters. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO leaders have taken and continue to take against me since 2000.

— Democrats say “The 6 Kinds of Republican Voters.” If you are a Republican, what kind are you? I am a “Traditional Conservative,” but my critics/opponents to the left of me demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being “Right Wing.” Since at least at least the 1970s, the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican have ever-increasingly been “Moderate Establishment.” They reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other planks in the Republican Party platform. They ever-increasingly focus on driving out of the Republican Party Traditional Conservatives and Right Wingers out of the Republican Party. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/17/upshot/six-kinds-of-republican-voters.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Moderate Establishment (14%). Highly educated, affluent, socially moderate or even liberal and often outright Never Trump. The Traditional Conservatives (26%). Old-fashioned economic and social conservatives who oppose abortion and prefer corporate tax cuts to new tariffs. They don’t love Mr. Trump, but they do support him. The Right Wing (26%). They watch Fox News and Newsmax. They’re “very conservative.” They’re disproportionately evangelical. They believe America is on the brink of catastrophe. And they love Mr. Trump more than any other group. The Blue Collar Populists (12%). They’re mostly Northern, socially moderate, economic populists who hold deeply conservative views on race and immigration. Not only do they back Mr. Trump, but he himself probably counted as one a decade ago. The Libertarian Conservatives (14%). These disproportionately Western and Midwestern conservatives value small government. They’re relatively socially moderate and isolationist, and they’re on the lower end of Trump support compared with other groups. The Newcomers (8%). They don’t look like Republicans. They’re young, diverse and moderate. But these disaffected voters like Democrats and the “woke” left even less.)
— How electable are you? Ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters shout that if you are a Republican, the more demographics that you share with Trump, the less electable that you are. I share the following demographics with Trump: heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, our ancestors have been in America for a long time, married, non-poor, draft-avoider, and gun-owner.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It comes as the party controls both of Indiana’s U.S. Senate seats, seven of the state’s nine congressional districts, has supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly and holds more than 90% of county-elected offices across the state. It also controls the governor’s office, and numerous Republicans are vying for the nomination to replace GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb, who cannot run again because of term limits. In 2019, 19 mayoral offices in Indiana flipped to Republicans, including in many Democratic strongholds such as Kokomo and Muncie. “The Indiana Republican Party is strong. And I believe that if we continue to deliver results that matter, Hoosiers will continue to place their trust in us and elect and reelect Republicans long into the future,” Hupfer said.)

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee Meets without Drama of No Confidence Vote Against Chairman Don Tracy – John Lopez
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2023/08/19/ilrscc/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, August 17, Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair took place. The various festivities by the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee (SCC), the governing body for Illinois Republicans under the leadership of Chairman Don Tracy included the August meeting of the SCC, where Tracy met with the 17 Republican state central committeepersons, the governing body of the Illinois Republican Party, plus various elected and appointed Republican officials. But unlike the last SCC meeting in April, when a “no confidence” vote on Chairman Don Tracy was called for and taken in executive session, and written up in several publications including McHenry County Blog, no such action was taken at the August SCC meeting, the first time the SCC met since April. Indeed, in the run-up to Thursday’s SCC meeting, there wasn’t even talk about a no confidence vote against Chairman Tracy, given the results of last November’s general election and the results of the April 4 elections went against conservative/grassroots candidates (with the exception of McHenry County-based School District 158). So has the grassroots conservatives given up on replacing Chairman Tracy? Or was all this talk of a grassroots conservative rebellion against Chairman Tracy just that, talk with a signal boost from Illinois Review? Or is it something else? It’s definitely something else going on, and here is what I’ve been able to piece together. As was written elsewhere, SCC Chairman Tracy formed a “Grassroots Task Force” of the SCC and tapped 14th Congressional District SCC Member Larry Smith, who’s the LaSalle County Republican Party chairman to lead the Grassroots Task Force. 8th Congressional District SCC Member Dean White of St. Charles was appointed as a co-chair/vice-chair, but the leader is Smith. From mid spring to late July, grassroots activists have been meeting with Smith and White to organize this SCC Grassroots Task Force into something productive, and not be a failed “outreach” effort as so many SCC initiatives became in the past. Political consultant Mr. Val Ojeda, who also publishes a blog he launched last December called The Illinois Republican, took a leading role to help Grassroots Task Force Chairman Smith organize the SCC Grassroots Task Force, including naming its members from among the grassroots. Ojeda stressed how it was important all sections of Illinois be represented on the Grassroots Task Force, meaning members from Chicago, Chicagoland suburbs/exurbs and downstate. In a July 27 op-ed on The Illinois Republican, Ojeda published three appointments to the Illinois Republican Party’s Grassroots Task Force, the first being the Illinois Freedom Alliance, which is based out of Moline and includes activists Annette Parchert, Nancy Hayes, Jennifer Luebbers, George Weckbacher and others. So the Moline-based Illinois Freedom Alliance represents downstate. Representing the city of Chicago is Christine Shanahan McGovern (R, Mt. Greenwood), who unsuccessfully ran for the state senate last fall, losing a close race to 5-term incumbent state Senator Bill Cunningham (D, Beverly).)

— Trump Indictments Meant to Demoralize and Provoke Americans – James Lindsay (COMMENT: Adverse actions that my critics/opponents have taken against me have motivated me. Adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me motivated me a) to earn four job-related college degrees, b) to earn six job-related professional certifications, and c) to become a licensed CPA. Adverse actions that my critics/opponents have taken against me have motivated me serve as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Adverse actions that they took against me motived me to serve as a) the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, c) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, d) a Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, e) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, f) and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.

— How Much Money Do You Need to Be Rich? Survey Reveals Wealth Goals. A new survey sets a financial threshold for being considered rich, while also questioning the very concept of “wealth.” – BEN DEMERS
https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-rich-survey-reveals-wealth-goals
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Respondents concluded that an average net worth of $2.2 million would be considered wealthy in 2023. This is unchanged from the $2.2 million mark recorded in Schwab’s 2022 survey, but still well below the high mark of $2.6 million recorded in its pre-pandemic 2020 survey. Schwab’s latest survey also reveals that roughly half of respondents say they already feel wealthy today, despite having an average net worth of only $560,000. This total represents only a quarter of the consensus threshold of being rich in America. So, what’s going on here?)

— Democrats say “Republican leaders talk mail-in voting push, gaining suburban votes at Illinois State Fair.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Republican candidates and party leaders should stress the Republican Party platform including its law enforcement, individual 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 should stress the tremendous damage caused by the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms including crime, poverty, dependency on government and charity, destruction of traditional marriage and family, abortion, illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They should stress that while Trump was President, he did more to defend and advance the Republican Party platform than either Bush.

They would not have done that if I had not complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

— Biden Admin Working to Bring Racial Equity to Towns, Suburbs. HUD says local communities must take action to ‘affirmatively further’ diversity. – Kevin Stocklin (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. Democrats ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that the higher the percentage of Whites who are in your state, county, township, municipality, and/or school district, the higher the percentage of Republicans are there who are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all. Since 1978, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton have stressed that while I lived in Crete 1948-1972, a) no Blacks lived there, b) it was overwhelmingly Protestant, and c) it was overwhelmingly German American. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Actions by the Biden administration to expand racial equity are making their way into America’s suburbs and towns. The Department of Housing and Development (HUD) is implementing a new program that would compel any town, city, or county that accepts federal housing grants to “proactively take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities, and foster inclusive communities free from discrimination.” The program, called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), is a reinstatement of HUD’s 2015 AFFH Rule, originally introduced by the Obama administration but repealed in 2020 by the Trump administration, which criticized the policy’s “onerous burden on localities and federal overreach into local housing policy.” Under the Biden policy, “in order to qualify for community development block grant funds, [communities] have to prepare and submit a plan to demonstrate that they are ‘affirmatively furthering fair housing,’” Howard Husock, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “The Poor Side of Town,” a critique of American housing policies, told The Epoch Times. “They will have to pass muster with regulators at HUD, who will review the steps they’re taking and decide whether they measure up.” Among the things that HUD will look for, Mr. Husock said, is if low-income housing “is being built in ‘high-opportunity neighborhoods’; is it being built close to high-performing schools; is close to libraries or supermarkets; with public facilities being located in ways that best serve those of a low income.” According to a statement by HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, “Hardworking families are blocked from purchasing homes because of the color of their skin.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Ready, set, go! Politicians gearing up for 2024 races descend on Illinois State Fair – Patrick Keck (COMMENT: I have always been conservative. I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999. I became the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000. I started attending Republican Days and Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee meetings, and Illinois Republican County Chairman’s Association meetings at State Fairs and reporting on them in 2000. I started attending IRP State Conventions as a delegate in 2000. I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. But because conservatives are ever-increasingly unwelcome at Republican Days, I have stopped attending them.)
https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/08/16/dems-gop-look-to-sparkle-2024-excitement-at-illinois-state-fair/70594450007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The next two days at the Illinois State Fair will feature political rallies led by both political parties as the countdown to next year’s election season marches forward. Democrats will kick off action on Wednesday with Governor’s Day and Republicans follow on Thursday. Outside of the fair, the parties will hold meetings in downtown Springfield including the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch at the Bank of Springfield Center. There, Illinois Democrats will be joined by guest speaker U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, starting at 9 a.m. before heading to the fairgrounds. Republican’s time on the Director’s Lawn will be preceded with several events, among them the Republican County Chairs’ Association president reception on Wednesday before a joint meeting with RCCA and the State Central Committee Thursday morning at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. For Democrats and Republicans alike, the fair days and meetings provide opportunities to build up its campaign finance war chests heading into 2024. No statewide candidates will be featured in next year’s election, but votes for president, U.S. Congress, the Illinois House of Representatives and a handful of state Senate seats among other local races will take place. The political days fall just more than seven months away from the March primary, but also less than three weeks from when candidates can begin circulating nomination papers. Congressional, state legislature and other local candidates begin this process on Sept. 5. Presidential candidates start on Oct. 27. All candidates have until Dec. 4 to file the papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections. . .Illinois Republicans have their work cut out for them, not holding power in any of the state’s three branches of government in addition to a smaller pool of political backers for major campaign funding. The state fair represents an opportunity for the party to make up ground in the funding battle and later support its candidates come election time. Who the party chooses to back for the White House has not been clear at this point, but it could have to put its weight behind a familiar name. National polls indicate if the presidential election were to take place today, it would be a 2020 rematch of Biden and former President Donald Trump. Already not a popular figure in Illinois, losing the state by more than 15 points in both 2016 and 2020, Trump is coming off his fourth indictment this time for allegedly tinkering with 2020 election results in Georgia. The indictments of the former commander-in-chief have prompted varying responses from GOP lawmakers in the state, some of which have pledged continued support to Trump and others to say move on. U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has claimed investigations led by the U.S. Department of Justice into Trump have been politically motivated. “The American people will not tolerate this attack from Biden’s DOJ on our electoral process or our system of justice, where justice is supposed to be blind,” she said in a statement earlier this month. The party’s 2022 gubernatorial candidate, Darren Bailey, rose in prominence among Republicans before the primary thanks in part to an endorsement from the former president. Still, he and other candidates speaking at last year’s fair were mum on Trump and instead focused on what they described as failures by Democrats to control crime and spending. That backing from Trump, in the end, proved in some ways to bite Bailey in the general election where Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker won a second term with comfortable margins.)
