— Democrats say “Potential candidates can start circulating petitions Tuesday as election year officially gets underway.” What offices will be on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Which candidates are running for those offices? What do you know about those candidates? How much does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain know about those candidates? Starting in 2000, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, I would circulate petitions in my precinct for all the Republican primary candidates. Typically, I would get 30 signatures for each candidate. But I am increasingly discouraged from doing that because too many candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their defeats. Most commonly, they demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being far too conservative, and therefore, the more that I do to help elect a candidate in a primary, if that candidate wins that primary, the more votes that candidate will lose in the general election. They hint/imply/argue/shout that candidates who I help win Republican primary elections are too conservative to win general elections. Further, candidates routinely get copies of the petitions that their opponents filed and look for anything that they can use against their opponents. They especially look to see who circulated petitions for their opponents and what they can use about those circulators against their opponents. Beyond my being demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being far too conservative, my demographics are terrible: White, male, older, draft-avoider, gun-owner, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America for a long time, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 26 years, and someone who fights against the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. The more that candidates are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs, the more that they do not want me to circulate their petitions. In my defense, political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform, The Republican Party platform in conservative. If you are not going to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE & CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
— America Overrun, America Transformed – Phillip Linderman (COMMENT: Democrats want immigrants because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because RINOs want cheap labor. Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly illegally flood America with citizens of foreign countries a) who have demographics that vote for Democrats and b) who can/will take low-paid jobs, that is, people who need/want massive government assistance, that is, those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/america-overrun-america-transformed/
https://cis.org/Linderman/America-Overrun-America-Transformed
(FROM THE ARTICLE: By the end of four years in power, the Biden administration will almost surely have admitted over 10 million illegal immigrants. Todd Bensman’s Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History is an essential book for understanding this migrant maelstrom. Reading his analysis of the unfolding border catastrophe can be wrenching, even infuriating, but conservatives need to grapple with a historic disaster, and the valuable material presented in this important book. Overrun is a fire-bell ringing in the night. A White House that erases national borders, ignores federal laws, and refuses to expel illegal arrivals is on a mission to fundamentally change the country. While the country’s situation is dire, even desperate, Overrun also offers crucial policy fixes, most notably the need to “tear down and rebuild the American asylum system.” Few people know more about Biden’s disastrous policies than Bensman, a former intelligence official for the Texas Department of Public Safety, a border-security analyst, and an award-winning investigative journalist. As the reader would expect, Overrun examines much public policy, but it is also filled with human-interest stories based on the author’s field interviews with migrants, criminal operatives, and officials, both honest and corrupt. Bensman’s field research is unmatched; in compiling this book, the author dodged death threats and criminal gangs in his travels to the boondocks across Mexico and Central America. Overrun is not “anti-immigrant.” Recounting his own family’s immigration history, Bensman writes with humanity about the many migrants he interviewed. But he also understands that concentrating on individual human dramas, as establishment journalists always do, obscures the true national tragedy: the unlawful and reckless federal government actions at the center of these historic events. More than anything, Overrun details the Biden administration’s unprecedented, corrupt mismanagement of our country’s frontier. Government corruption is not just about gaining illicit financial profit; it is also about systematically upending rule of law by neglecting to enforce statutes and regulations, and issuing unlawful executive orders — exactly the strategy Biden officials are using to bypass Congress and force their radical immigration agenda on the nation.)

— Young Men Lean Right as Ideological Gap Between Sexes Widens – Luis Miguel (COMMENT: I should write a book about the following who have moved the furthest to the left since 2000: Republican a) activists, b) elected officials, c) party leaders, d) candidates and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, e) conservative leaders, and f) religious leaders. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid Republicans who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2015.)
https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/young-men-lean-right-as-ideological-gap-between-sexes-widens/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since the 1970s, the group Monitoring the Future has kept track of where young people fit on the political spectrum. Over the last three years, their survey results have shown that approximately one-fourth of high school senior boys identify as “conservative” or “very conservative.” By contrast, 13 percent of boys surveyed identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.” In other words, nearly twice as many boys in their senior year are conservative than are liberal. This has not always been the case. In past eras, such as the early 2000s, liberal high school boys outnumbered conservatives in Monitoring the Future’s surveys. And during the days of the Jimmy Carter administration, both boys and girls swung left. But the shift of young men to the right is more notable in light of the much more dramatic shift of young women to the left. Per Monitoring the Future’s polling, the percentage of high school senior girls who identify as “liberal” or “very liberal” rose from 19 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in 2022. In last year’s survey, only 12 percent of girls said they were conservative — half the percentage of boys. This suggests a growing ideological gap between the sexes, with men becoming increasingly conservative and women increasingly liberal.)

— 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.)

However, I am ever-increasingly reluctant to support candidates in Republican primary elections.

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%).)

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.)

ROCHELLE NEWS LEADER
— 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.)

— Democrats say “Chicago mayor pledges full support at graduation of new police officers.” In December of 1971, when I was 23 years old, after 6 months of intensive classroom and on-the-job training, I became a GS-7 (currently $52,022/year) IRS Revenue Officer. According to IRS, “Their job is to collect taxes that are delinquent and have not been paid to the IRS and to secure tax returns that are overdue from taxpayers. The IRS currently has about 2,300 revenue officers (RO) working cases across the country. ROs educate taxpayers on their tax filing and paying obligations and provide guidance and service on a wide range of financial issues to help the taxpayer resolve their tax issues. They also ensure taxpayers are aware of their rights under the law and provide them with quality customer service. How ROs work: ROs conduct scheduled interviews with taxpayers and/or their representatives face-to-face or by telephone if appropriate. This is done as part of the process of collecting delinquent taxes and securing delinquent tax returns. Through interviews and research, the ROs get and analyze financial information to determine the taxpayer’s ability to pay their tax bill. Taxpayers could be individuals or businesses. ROs consider alternative means of resolving tax debt issues when the taxpayer cannot pay the debt in full and provide taxpayers with resources that can help including: Setting up payment agreements that allow the taxpayer to pay the bill over time. When appropriate, granting relief from penalties imposed when the tax bill is overdue.
Suspending collection of accounts due to financial hardship. The IRS makes every attempt to come to an agreement with the taxpayer, when this is not possible other enforcement actions may be taken.” IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $63,633/year) in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $76,990/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 (currently $92,279/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. The Democrats who ran GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer and they wasted my knowledge of IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

Unlike me, my critics/opponents had parents who had lots of money. They did not have to work their way through college like I had to.

But the Illinois governor has taken a page out of Newsom’s book, taking shots at DeSantis at various points. Newsom and Pritzker have moved to prevent what they dubbed “book banning” in Florida from happening in California or Illinois. Pritzker also frequents national news shows to discuss hot-button matters such as abortion, raising his national profile.)

It was a serious miscalculation, and the realization of this foolish, unforced error is just beginning to sink in. Perhaps the most immediate consequence of this colossal blunder was that it instantly catapulted Trump to “legend” status in the eyes of the black men who lined the street as his motorcade wound its way to the Fulton County Jail last week. They see the mug shot as a symbol of “the man” sticking it to “the people,” a feeling with which they are intimately familiar.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Francis has drawn criticism for his stance on a number of issues, including his calls for gun control and his opposition to the death penalty. He’s come under fire for his emphasis on social justice issues and for his support for the creation of civil union laws for same-sex couples. “Homosexuals have a right to be part of the family,” he said in Francesco, a 2020 documentary about his life. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.” However, Francis’ comments were in reference to civil unions and did not condone those unions within the church. Francis has responded to previous criticism by saying it is an “honor” to be attacked by Americans.”

How far left will they go to win, that is, how many of the following planks in the Republican Party platform will they dump: individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving)? How strongly will they hint/imply/argue/shout that they are anti-conservative if not anti-Republican?

— Democrats say “Starbucks workers at Michigan Avenue roastery reject union membership. The tally at the world’s largest location for the coffee chain deals a blow to the aspirations of Workers United, part of the Service Employees International Union.” GAO did not unionize until 2007. 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. In 1974, the National Treasury Employees Union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 My critics/opponents despise if not hate unions and union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. 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. Virtually none of my coworkers did anything like that.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— 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.)

— Illinois Gun Law Forces Gun Owners to Incriminate Themselves – Dan Wos
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.)

— Democrats offer “a free job search workshop series for parents who have taken significant time out of the workforce to provide child care.” My outstanding mother devoted her life to raising me and my brother. She stayed home and raised us. She never attended high school. After her husband died suddenly when he was 47 and I was 21, she earned a graduate equivalency diploma and got a job in a dental office. To paint my father as having been filthy rich, my critics/opponents have always stressed that he made enough money so that she could stay home and raise me and my brother. My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He had less money a) because he had brittle type 1 diabetes and had to pay the high cost of insulin and b) because he sent me and my brother on parochial grade schools. He was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. But because he had diabetes, he never attended college. Because of the aforesaid, I had to work my way through college and I did work my way through college.

— Democrats say “SAT test canceled at three Chicago sites. Imagine studying all summer for a college admission test, only to be told the test is canceled.” My critics/opponents are nasty/vicious. The biggest decisions that I made in my life include a) going to college, b) taking college preparatory courses in high school, c) getting the best ACT score that I could, and d) graduating in the upper 20% of my class. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the real reason for the aforesaid was my wanting to avoid the Vietnam draft. In my defense, starting while I was in grade school, my outstanding father frequently decried his not having a college degree. He had brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood. Everyone discouraged him from going to college arguing that the stress of trying to get a college degree would kill him. They succeeded in getting him to take stenography courses in high school. The best job that he could get was working in the office of a nasty chemical plant in northeast (downwind) Chicago Heights. He never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs (playing music, selling hot dogs, delivering eggs) to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevrolet. He died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.

In 1974, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors not only disallowed my travel vouchers, they hinted/implied that my vouchers were fraudulent. Of course, that ended my IRS career. The National Treasury Employees Union and GAO came to my defense and I eventually won in 1977. (SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11 ) But by then, they had forced the IRS manager to transfer to Texas who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. Their efforts to get rid of me rendered worthless a) my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. The aforesaid forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. I would not have had to suffer the aforesaid adverse actions if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.

CITIES 92.9
— This Is the Largest Gunmaker in Illinois – Samuel Stebbins
https://www.cities929.com/2023/08/25/this-is-the-largest-gunmaker-in-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States is the single largest civilian firearm market in the world. A recent Gallup poll found that 45% of Americans have a gun in their home. And many of those households have more than one, as the U.S. is the only country with more privately-owned guns than people. Whether for hunting, target shooting, personal protection, or home defense, consumer demand for firearms in the U.S. fuels a $32.1 billion a year industry. And across the country, companies are cashing in. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives reported that over 13.3 million firearms were manufactured in the U.S. for the domestic market in 2021. (Here is a look at which Americans own the most guns: a survey of all 50 states.) According to the ATF, there are more than 3,200 federally licensed firearm production plants in the U.S., and 43 of them are operating in Illinois. Between them, a total of 647,423 firearms were manufactured in the state in 2021. No company made more firearms in Illinois that year than Springfield Inc. Through a production facility in Geneseo, the company produced a reported 590,750 guns – or 91.2% of all firearms made in the state in 2021.)

Because of that, constructively, for federal employees who are conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time, their mandatory retirement age is when they become eligible to retire. I have all of the aforesaid demographics. I became eligible to take early retirement when I was 45 years old in 1993. GAO works for Congress. My Democrat GAO superiors finally succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when it expired on September 30, 1997. If I had not taken it by then, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. They made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me. I believed that if I had refused their “offer,” my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on why I believed that my Republican U.S. Senator and/or my Republican U.S. Representative could/would not have come to my defense. I would focus on their staff members.)

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.

McGlaughlin ran Roskam’s campaign against Duckworth 2006.

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.

(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).)

— Why Are So Many Republicans Cowering in the Face of Opposition? – LINCOLN BROWN (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many Republican elected officials and party leaders fail/refuse to defend/advance planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly its law and order, individual 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. Far too many Republican elected officials and party leaders are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, or RINOs.)

— 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?)
