Do you agree with retiring Republican State Senator Dan Caulkins that the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) a) should urge Don Tracy to delay his resignation as IRP chairman and b) delay its election of a new IRP chairman? If so, you should contact Tracy and your IRP SCC member immediately.
ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Urge the IL GOP SCC Committee to Pick Kathy Salvi – David E. Smith and David E. Curtin (COMMENT: How much do you know about John Cabello, Aaron Del Mar, and Kathy Salvi who want to be the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman? In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP State Central Committee elected Andy McKenna as the IRP chairman. Participants in that forum were John Cox, Stephen McGlynn, McKenna, and Jim Nalepa. Jim Oberweis wanted to participate, but could not. Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I know that because I served as chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. Chairmen of Republican organizations are blamed for all the losses that Republican candidates suffer.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/the-next-ilgop-chair-will-be/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC) will be meeting (AT NOON TODAY) to consider how to fill the vacancy left by Chairman Don Tracy, who resigned in June. We are only aware of a couple of candidates who are up for consideration. Of course, we want to see someone who is fully committed to uphold the planks on the sanctity of human life, marriage, family, immigration security and religious liberty. Therefore, we wholeheartedly endorse Kathy Salvi for the next Illinois GOP chair. In fact, we don’t think we could ask for a better person to serve in that role. The 64-year-old mother of six adult children is the wife of former State Representative Al Salvi (1993-1996), who was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 1996 and Illinois Secretary of State in 1998. We have complete confidence that Kathy is not only a true conservative, but one who will fight to keep the aforementioned planks in the Illinois GOP Platform. Take ACTION: Click HERE ( https://www.votervoice.net/ILFI/Campaigns/116846/Respond ) to send a message to the members of the Illinois Republican SCC to urge them to select Kathy Salvi. We cannot afford to have a chairman who is unwilling or dispassionate about certain critical GOP Platform planks or who has an agenda that isn’t aligned with them. Background. Both Salvis have been outspoken pro-life pro-family conservatives. Both attended the private Catholic school, Carmel High School in Mundelein, as did former U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R-PA). The Salvis and Santorums are close friends. Kathy, and her husband Al, have a long history in conservative Illinois politics, especially in pro-life advocacy, including championing abstinence education. Kathy worked closely with Al over the years as they have been involved in GOP and family and pro-life conservative efforts helping candidates. In 2022, she ran and won the U.S. Senate primary nomination with 30% of the vote against 6 other great candidates. Unfortunately, Kathy was unable to defeat incumbent Tammy Duckworth in the General Election. As we know, the red wave did not materialize that year and it was tough election cycle for Republicans in Illinois.)
ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Angry, Bitter Don Tracy Meddling in IL GOP Chairman’s Race as SCC Rushes Selection to Appoint New State Party Chair.
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/07/angry-bitter-don-tracy-meddling-in-il-gop-chairmans-race-as-ssc-rushes-selection-to-appoint-new-state-party-chair.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the Republican National Convention just days away, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee is moving at warp speed to appoint a new state party chairman as Republicans across the state raise concerns about the vetting process and the need for transparency as candidates jockey to be the next leader of the Illinois Republican Party. On Wednesday evening, three candidates submitted their applications for party chairman: Aaron Del Mar, John Cabello and Kathy Salvi – but it’s Salvi – the former GOP nominee for U.S. Senate that’s creating the most buzz amongst grassroots circles. For the last two years, Salvi has defended outgoing chairman Don Tracy, co-hosted state party fundraisers with Tracy, and was endorsed by gubernatorial candidate Richard Irvin during the 2022 election cycle. Irvin was the state party’s favorite candidate – and Tracy’s too, although he won’t admit it – during the 2022 primary, but lost in a landslide to the conservative grassroots-backed candidate by 43 points. And during the primary campaign, it was reported by WTTW’s Paris Schutz that in 2018, Irvin sent text messages calling Trump an “idiot” and a “bigoted racist.” Irvin also texted the friend, “I hate Trump too!” Prior to running for governor, Irvin spent years praising Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker, referring to him as a, “great friend and a great leader.” And in 2020, Irvin spoke at a Black Lives Matter rally yelling, “I can’t breathe!” In exclusive audio obtained by Illinois Review, Tracy admitted during a July 2022 meeting with conservative leaders that the Irvin campaign for governor was allowed to use the IL GOP postage discount for mailers – a perk not afforded to other candidates for governor during the primary. Tracy acknowledged use of the postage discount in the recording, but said the IL GOP was taking its “direction from the House Caucus and the Senate Caucus.” In conservative circles across the state, many believe that Tracy is propping up Salvi to be his heir apparent, and multiple party insiders have shared with this publication that a backroom deal has been struck that gives Salvi the chairmanship and Jason Plummer – a downstate Republican state senator, the vice chair position. Plummer works closely with Tracy’s sister-in-law, State Sen. Jill Tracy, who serves alongside Plummer in the state senate and is the Senate Republican Whip. On Wednesday, retiring State. Sen. Dan Caulkins, a conservative from Decatur and member of the Illinois Freedom Caucus, released a statement urging the delay of Tracy’s resignation as state party chair, arguing that, “My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed.” Applications were due on Wednesday, June 10, and the SSC meets two days later on June 12 to elect a new leader.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed. We are setting up whoever takes over the chairmanship for failure. Caulkins publicly asked Tracy to delay his resignation through the Nov. 19 election and the rest of the calendar year. “The reality is the truncated timetable prohibits them from making a strong case for their candidacy,” Caulkins wrote. “We gain nothing by rushing this important decision and we risk losing traction in a state that we can ill afford to cede anymore ground to the Democrats.”)

— How a 1994 highway tragedy led to debilitation of the Illinois Republican Party – Andy Shaw (COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for George Ryan’s and for Jim Ryan’s problems. I would focus on past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/12/opinion-illinois-republican-party-george-ryan-operation-safe-road-don-tracy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The charred remains of Scott and Janet Willis’ minivan sits on the side of Interstate 94, Nov. 8, 1994, near Milwaukee after a part fell off a truck causing a fire that killed six of their children. The accident led to an investigation that eventually doomed former Illinois Gov. George Ryan’s political career. . .Power wondered if ABC affiliate WLS-Ch. 7, where I was covering politics, might be interested in what whistleblowers in then-Secretary of State George Ryan’s office were telling him about alleged corruption that may have contributed to a fiery 1994 explosion on a Milwaukee expressway that injured his clients — Duane “Scott” Willis and his wife, Janet — and killed their young children, who were riding in the back seat. So we interviewed the same whistleblowers, who were supervisors in Ryan’s suburban McCook office, and they identified a handful of employees, under the direction of Ryan’s chief of staff, who were issuing commercial driver’s licenses to minimally qualified truckers in exchange for cash bribes that went into their pockets and Ryan’s campaign coffers. . .Our story about the crash, and the alleged corruption that contributed to it, led a 10 p.m. newscast in early 1998, and we aired multiple follow-ups, but the affable and avuncular Ryan, a popular political veteran who was then running for governor, denied any knowledge of the alleged corruption in his office. That helped him survive a GOP primary challenge and defeat a weak Democratic challenger in the November election, even as storm clouds of a sweeping federal investigation that began after our stories aired were swirling around him. That investigation, dubbed “Operation Safe Road” by the feds, eventually led to the conviction of Ryan and others, many of them powerful Republican Party funders, operatives and insiders, leaving the Illinois GOP in shambles and paving the way for the gubernatorial election of Democrat Rod Blagojevich in 2002, ending 26 years of GOP control of the governor’s office in Springfield. The decimation of the Republican Party’s infrastructure also enabled then-Illinois House Speaker and state Democratic Party Chairman Michael Madigan to engineer the election of Democrats to all but one statewide office, super-majorities in both legislative chambers and control of the Illinois Supreme Court.)

https://www.gopusa.com/can-rinos-finally-expunge-conservatism-from-the-party/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the insidious tenacity of termites, the RINOs are at it again in 2024, seeking to convince the Republican National Convention to abandon fundamental issues of morality and societal integrity, by removing the Party’s pro-life and pro-marriage platform planks. With this they hope to steer the party towards the platitude of fiscal only “conservatism.” They feel emboldened to make such a move in the wake of pro-abort ballot measures which passed in off-year elections in Kansas and Ohio. So they plot to derail party unity that should be focused singularly on victory for President Trump in November.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Trump Campaign Not Getting Involved in IL GOP Chairman’s Race, Proving Rumors False, Sources Confirm
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/07/trump-campaign-not-getting-involved-in-il-gop-chairmans-race-proving-rumors-false-sources-confirm.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The race to replace Don Tracy as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party is heating up just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, as several potential candidates are making their case to Illinois Republicans on who’s the best fit to lead the embattled state party through the November election and beyond. And multiple sources confirm with this publication that senior officials within the Trump campaign and the RNC have made it clear Wednesday morning that they will not be weighing in on the state party chairman’s race as rumors began circulating across the state the last few days that “campaign officials” were backing a candidate to replace Tracy. The chatter also included rumors that even President Donald Trump would be weighing in and endorsing a candidate – but those rumors have proven to be false. The Trump campaign and the RNC have been busy preparing for the convention in Milwaukee next week and finalizing the vice presidential candidate selection process as the world awaits President Trump’s pick to complete his ticket. Illinois is also not a state in play for Trump as he focuses his time and energy on key battleground states in the final months of the campaign. Last month, Don Tracy submitted his resignation as party chairman effective July 19th – blaming the rise of the “grassroots,” party infighting and the removal of state central committee member Mark Shaw as vice chairman of the party without “due process” as the embattled leader of the IL GOP presided over widespread and massive losses during his brief tenure as chairman. Tracy also blamed the rise of the “grassroots,” writing, “Like Vince Kolber, my friend and former Finance Committee Chair, I am also concerned about the current infatuation of some members of the SCC, few as they are, with certain individuals they call ‘Grass roots’ leaders.” The outgoing state party chairman has yet to endorse President Trump and has spent the last year attending Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis events, and hosting the governor at an IL GOP fundraiser in Naples. Days before Tracy’s unexpected resignation, Kolber, who served as chairman of the IL GOP Finance Committee, abruptly resigned in an angry letter to 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, was 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. Applicants for state party chairman must submit their completed application to the state party headquarters by email no later than July 10th at 5:00 pm CDT.
CAPITOL FAX
— Speaking of the Illinois Republican Party, a member of the Freedom Caucus is calling on Don Tracy to delay his resignation as state party chair…State Representative Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur) says the future of the Republican Party in Illinois requires thoughtful consideration and should not be done on the fly which is why he is calling on current Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy to delay his resignation. “There is no question we have some issues to resolve in our party. Some require immediate attention and others can be addressed after November. My concern is that the selection process is rushed and ill timed. We are setting up whoever takes over the chairmanship for failure. The duties of the Republican Party are to support our county organizations, provide legal assistance for ballot challenges as well as support other legal matters and to promote Republican ideas and candidates. Don Tracy has performed these duties well, and he can continue to provide the stability we need to get through the next several months. The announced candidates to replace Tracy have not been properly vetted and have not provided a vision for the party for the future. The reality is the truncated timetable prohibits them from making a strong case for their candidacy. We gain nothing by rushing this important decision and we risk losing traction in a state that we can ill afford to cede anymore ground to the Democrats. The solution is for Don Tracy to remain as State Party Chairman. For the good of the Party, I call on Don Tracy to delay his resignation and continue to serve at least through the end of the year.” Kinda surprising, considering the source. I’ve asked a party spokesperson for comment. Meanwhile, Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) told me today he is interested in serving as interim party chair through the November election. Sen. Jason Plummer and Aaron Del Mar also have their hats in the ring. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: Who do you want to serve as the next Illinois Republican Party chairman? Serving as the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job. I served as the chairman of TAPROOT republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. My critics/opponents ever-increasingly blamed me for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct suffered. My critics/opponents do not blame the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Milton Township Republican Organization for Republican losses. They blame conservatives and they blame the Republican Party platform.)

They do not want anyone to first learn of anything from my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should write about the aforesaid leaders. I would focus on those leaders who pander to the Democrat news media. They give the Democrat news media their scoops. I would focus on those leaders who send their press releases to my direct competitors on the left including Capitol Fax and Politico Illinois, but not me. I would focus on those leaders who since 2000 have failed/refused to treat me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters as being legitimate. I would focus on those leaders who have done everything that they could a) to discourage me from putting my newsletters together and sending them out and b) to discourage everyone from reading my newsletters. I would focus on those leaders who blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those leaders who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST/IPSOS
— Nearly 3 in 5 Americans view both Biden, Trump as too old. However, significantly more call for Biden to step aside, rather than Trump, according to ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll (COMMENT: Health should be the issue, not age. Who first deemed you to be too old, for what, when, and what pretext did they use to justify it? My Democrat IRS superiors deemed me to be too old to be a GS-1`3 in 1974 when I was 25 years old. They used their “up-or-out” policy to justify that. But they used that policy only against their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran. Their doing that rendered worthless my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, my earning job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and my earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/are_the_news_media_more_biased_than_ever
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hatred of the news media may be at an all-time high, and a majority of voters say media bias is still getting worse. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. voters believe the problem of bias in the news media is getting worse – slightly higher than our December survey. Just nine percent (9%) think the problem is getting better, while 27% say the problem of media bias is about the same as usual.)

— Reports Back Up Trump Contention That Illegal Immigrants Are ‘Taking Black Jobs.’ Unemployment statistics hide the fact that 10 million Americans have given up on even looking for work in recent years, an amount similar to the number of illegals believed to be working in the U.S. – Luke Rosiak (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, I gave up looking for work appropriate for someone with my work experience (almost 18 years working for GAO as an Analyst and almost 9 years working for IRS as a Revenue Officer), education (master’s degrees in finance-1997, accounting-1980, and business-1976), professional certifications in forensic accounting-1997, financial services auditing-1996, government financial management-1994, fraud examination-1990, internal auditing-1981, and accounting-1979), and CPA license-1981. The many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors had taken against were too big for me to overcome. My Democrat GAO superiors had a) forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and denied my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Trump Poised to Rip 40-Year-Old Pro-Life Plank Out of GOP Platform (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump would not have won the primary in 2016 if he had not promised to defend and advance the Republican Party platform. My critics/opponents in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. are anti-conservative if not anti-Republican and they have always a) rejected many planks in the Republican Party platform and/or b) rejected direct election of IRP State Central Committee members. Recently, they had me thrown off the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee.)
https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/dispatch-politics/no-labels-chief-strategist-says-its-too-late-for-an-independent-presidential-alternative/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In every presidential election since 1984, the pro-life plank in the Republican party’s platform has declared: “We endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.” But all signs are pointing toward Donald Trump ripping that Reagan-era plank out of the platform and replacing it with something to his own liking that removes any reference to the 14th Amendment and federal legislation. During his successful 2016 campaign, Trump campaigned on signing a federal limit on abortion at 20 weeks after conception with exceptions. But since the 2022 Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, he has changed course. Trump blamed the abortion issue for the GOP’s underwhelming 2022 midterm performance. During the GOP primary against Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Trump attacked Florida’s Heartbeat Protection Act, which generally bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, as “terrible.” He formally announced in April of this year that he opposes any new federal limits on abortion. While the precise text of Trump’s 2024 pro-life plank is not clear, pro-life leaders now expect it to be released this Sunday and approved by the Republican National Convention’s platform committee in closed-door meetings on Monday or Tuesday—before the convention officially begins. On Tuesday, Politico reported that two anti-abortion activists had been blocked by the Trump campaign from serving on the platform committee. One pro-life leader told Dispatch Politics that the committee has been “overwhelmingly stacked” with people who will ensure the pro-life plank is changed to “reflect Donald Trump and his thinking.” Pro-life leaders are sounding the alarm. In a July 1 letter to RNC chairman Michael Whatley obtained by Dispatch Politics, Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, made his concerns clear. “Based on the limited communications delegates have received, it appears that neither guests nor the press will be allowed to observe the platform committee or subcommittee discussions of the Party’s principles and policy priorities,” Perkins wrote. “The Party’s platforms have provided guidance not just to presidents and Congresses but also to state legislatures, school boards, county commissioners, and, just as importantly – voters.” Perkins, who was elected by the Louisiana GOP to serve as a delegate on the RNC Platform Committee, described the closed-off nature of the meeting as an “RNC Gag Rule” that “heightens speculation that the GOP platform will be watered down to a few pages of meaningless, poll-tested talking points.” For weeks, pro-life activists have sought—and not received—private reassurances from the Trump campaign that core elements of the pro-life plank would not be changed. A memo signed by Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, reported by the New York Times on June 29, called for a condensed 2024 GOP platform “to ensure our policy commitments to the American people are clear, concise and easily digestible.” The memo defended closing off the platform committee process for the first time in decades to protect the process from “any special interest influence that seeks to make public policy stray from our clear and straightforward objectives.” The private fight between the Trump campaign and pro-life leaders burst into public view in the past week. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life president Marjorie Dannenfesler said in a statement on Tuesday: “If the Trump campaign decides to remove national protections for the unborn in the GOP platform, it would be a miscalculation that would hurt party unity and destroy pro-life enthusiasm between now and the election.”)

INQUISITR
— Aging Joe Biden is “Dependably Engaged” for These Many Hours Each Day: Reveal His Aides – Juwairiya Shariq (COMMENT: How many hours a day are you dependably engaged? I have to be dependably engaged and I am dependably engaged for at least 10 hours each and every day to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and to send them out.)
https://www.inquisitr.com/aging-joe-biden-is-dependably-engaged-for-these-many-hours-each-day-reveal-his-aides
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The aides weren’t surprised by POTUS’ disoriented mind and ramblings during the debate and revealed two versions of Biden- one is alert and confident, and the other is confused and dependable on people for a few hours each day. And it is common knowledge within his inner circle that he needs occasional assistance, which is, of course, a result of issues that stem from aging. To be more specific, the aides revealed Biden is only “dependably engaged” between the hours of 10 am to 4 pm each working day in the White House, and outside these hours, he’s seemingly lost, confused, and is more likely to misspeak on different occasions and struggle to string through thoughts together. In fact, the aides “meticulously” work to ensure his public exposure is between these hours. The report read, “Between the lines: Biden’s miscues and limitations are more familiar inside the White House. The time of day is important as to which of the two Bidens will appear. Many of his public events in front of cameras are held within those hours. Outside of that time range or while traveling abroad, Biden is more likely to have verbal miscues and become fatigued.”)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— PRESS RELEASE: IL Republican Party Responds to President Trump’s Debate Win. CHICAGO — Following President Trump’s resounding debate win tonight in Atlanta, newly elected RNC Committeeman for Illinois Dean White responded on behalf of the Illinois Republican Party with the following statement. “The difference between President Biden’s performance and the strong, definitive performance of President Trump could not be more clear. President Trump displayed why we need his leadership in the White House: to bring down the cost of living for American families, to close Joe Biden’s open border, and to give Americans confidence that we are leading from the front instead of covering for an out-of-touch career politician. There is a reason President Trump is leading in the polls across the country – the voters know he is the leader this country needs and it’s why he’ll win in November.”

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Trump won the Republican Party primary. If elected, he can and he will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. It is time for Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, and precinct committeemen/captains who fail/refuse to help elect Trump to step down and to be replaced by those who can and will help elect Trump. Trump may not win Illinois, but the more votes that Trump gets, the less of a mandate that Democrats get. I have always helped elect in general elections those Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who won primary elections, including those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QESTION: What are the real reasons why people who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican reject Trump? ANSWER: They reject planks in the Republican Party platform that Trump defends and advances 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. They despise/hate his demographics including his being heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, draft avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, German American, and/or his ancestors having been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— Who is going to be the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should have by now posted on its website:
a) the names of the two other members of the IRP chairman search committee,
b) the selection process that the committee will use,
c) the qualifications that applicants must have,
d) the requirements that applicants must meet, and
e) the application filing deadline.
Based on what the IRP did in 2005 and 2013, the IRP should then post on its website:
a) the names of all the applicants who met the filing deadline,
b) the names of all those applicants the committee deemed qualified,
c) lots of information on those applicants,
d) how Illinois Republicans can provide input on those applicants to IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members,
e) the date, time, and location of the meeting in which the applicants will give their presentations to the IRP SCC,
f) how Illinois Republicans can attend that meeting,
g) the Zoom link that Illinois Republicans can use to watch the applicant’s presentations at that meeting,
h) the weighted vote that each IRP SCC member has,
i) the weighted vote that each applicant got and from each of the IRP SCC members, and
j) the name of the winning applicant.
I am very interested in learning what each the applicants has done and has promised to do to defend and advance the 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 in the Republican Party platform. I am very interested in learning what position each of the applicants has on direct election of IRP SCC members. It seems to me that the committee will reject applicants who want direct election.

However, now that we’re witnessing actual rape cultures pour across our Southern border and do their thing, the concept of “rape culture” is suddenly dead to the progressive Democrats.)

— Trump Campaign Releases Five ‘Biden Lies’ on Border – James Morley III
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-joe-biden-lies/2024/06/27/id/1170428/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the Trump campaign, the first Biden border lie is that the border is “secure.” Using data from both the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol as well as the Drug Enforcement Agency, the campaign dismantles each of Biden’s immigration talking points. “The fact is the border was never secure under Biden. In fact, the floodgates opened almost immediately after Biden took office. Now, suspected terrorists are flooding across in record numbers as at least ten million illegals, tons and tons of fentanyl, and criminals from all over the world cross into the country — and American citizens are raped and murdered by illegals with no right to be here,” the campaign states. The next “lie” is the oft-repeated phrase from Biden that the “only reason the border is not secure” is because of Trump and Republicans. The campaign notes how Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle Trump’s previous border policy. “Lie” number three from the Biden campaign is that a border crisis “happens every single year.” The Trump team notes that since President Biden took office almost 7 million illegals have entered the U.S. The fourth of Biden’s “lies” according to the Trump campaign is that the Administration is “working to make sure the border is safe, orderly and humane.” Trump’s team notes that the open border facilitated by Biden has “has emboldened drug cartels and human traffickers to take advantage of the lax enforcement — at the expense of desperate migrants. The situation is particularly devastating for unaccompanied migrant children, tens of thousands of whom have been LOST by the incompetent Biden administration.” The final Biden border “lie” noted by the Trump campaign is that Biden likes to say “I’ve done all I can do” when it comes to securing the border. Trump’s team responds by noting that “Biden has repeated this lie again and again, even after he blocked comprehensive border security legislation passed by House Republicans.”)

— Millions of Taxpayers Call the IRS for Help. Two-Thirds Don’t Reach Anyone. The agency hired nearly 7,000 new customer-service representatives, but its internal watchdog group says it still falls short. – Ashlea Ebeling (COMMENT: Have you ever phoned IRS with a tax question? If you did during the 1974 filing season, the IRS employee who answered your call was one of my subordinates. During 1974 IRS filing season, as a 25-year-old GS-11 (currently $80,994/year) IRS Revenue Officer, I supervised all of the IRS employees, which included a rotating staff of about 90 IRS Revenue Agent trainees, in IRS’s new downtown Chicago office who answered taxpayer questions using IRS’s new CentiPhone system. Because of my job performance, the IRS manager who had given me the job and who had promoted me in 1972 and 1973 promoted me to GS-12 (currently $97,079/year). But my Democrat IRS superiors soon got rid of him because they were beyond furious that he given me the CentiPhone job and that he had promoted me instead of an IRS employee who was Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat superior who led the successful effort to get rid of him was a veteran who was furious that I had avoided the draft.)

They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. They were beyond furious when GAO assigned me to audits of IRS 1986-1988.)

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

My Democrat GAO superiors used against me big time my and my wife’s giving up trying to have children without trying IVF, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents. They stressed that my wife’s health insurance covered IVF. They knew full-well that our doctor had advised against IVF because there were major problems with my sperm and my wife’s eggs. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about my wanting to have children and our efforts to have children. In 1989, they used the aforesaid to throw me off audits of IRS which were in-town, to give me a very bad 6-month out-of-town job assignment, to give me very unfair performance expectations, to give me a very unfair performance appraisal, and to rank me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.

But NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors failed/refused to promote me after 1974 even though I had earned an MBA in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. Further, NTEU did not come to my defense at all when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education expenses in 1978. While I worked for IRS 1971-1980, I ever-increasingly did what rank and file NTEU members did not do. I earned a job-related master’s degrees and professional certification.)

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

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

June 24, 2024
Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Who do you want the next Illinois Republican Party (IRP) chairman to be and why? What education, work experience, and political, fundraising, professional, financial, etc. accomplishments do you want that person to have? What proof do you want that shows that person has defended and advanced and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform 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? I should write a book about what past IRP chairmen have done to defend and advance the aforesaid planks. It would be an extremely thin book. Obviously, the next IRP chairman cannot have any skeletons in his/her closets and has to be in a position to spend lots of their time and money to make the IRP successful, that is, to elect Republican candidates who can and will defend the Republican Party platform. The IRP has to dump its “Democrat Lite” policy of attracting independent voters by dumping conservative voters. All Republicans should promote the Republican Party platform.

— Ex-RNC Chair Michael Steele Confronts Republican on Project 2025 Plan to Gut Government. – Natalie Venegas (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. They use Republican-led budget cuts first to get rid of their few remaining Republican employees and then their employees who are White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. That is what the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 did. I should write a book about that. They would succeeded in getting rid of me much sooner than they did if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

During that time, I earned and saved enough to also buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTOS OF TRACY AND DEL MAR: Republican Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate, hopes to lead the state party. – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240620/illinois-state-politics/state-gop-chair-walking-away-blames-republican-backstabbing-friction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy’s Wednesday resignation bombshell, blaming infighting in the ranks, leaves a leadership gap that could be filled by a suburban contender. Palatine Republican and former lieutenant governor candidate Aaron Del Mar announced Thursday he will seek the chairman’s job. “Moving forward, if my peers believe in me and give me the opportunity to lead this party, the Democrats better be ready. I’m no milquetoast,” said Del Mar, a State Central Committee member. . .Other names that have surfaced as chair are state Sen. Jason Plummer of Edwardsville, who could not be reached for comment, and former Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. Ives said Thursday she would not seek the position and disagreed with contentions the party was in disarray. “At the state central party level, we’re all in agreement about what we need to do to beat the Democrats,” said Ives, a former state representative and a State Central Committee member. “We’re here to be the opposition party to their policy prescriptions that have destroyed … the working-class opportunities in this state.” . . . Tracy appointed State Central Committee member Jan Weber to lead the search for a replacement. That person “needs to be a unifier of all Republicans for the good of the party otherwise we will stay in a super minority position for a long time to come,” Republican state Rep. Bradley Stephens of Rosemont said.)
— Since 2021, Wheaton has banned Republicans from helping sponsor its Independence Day parade and fireworks. I should write a book about that.

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

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