I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I am a conservative independent not-for-profit aggregator of government and political news and commentary who promotes the Republican Party platform. Since 2000, I have reported on all the changes in leadership of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). I attended the meetings in which candidates made their presentations in 2005 and 2013. Whoever shared Tracy’s resignation letter with the Democrat news media did not share it with me. What does that say about that person? It says that person does not want me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and does not want anyone to read them. Those who do that a) reject planks in the IRP platform and/or b) destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praised them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. Those who do that blame me and blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems. Those who do that are anti-conservative if not conservative-hating RINOs if not Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or Independent plants who use the Democrat news media to advance themselves and/or to destroy the IRP.
Those who not want me to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and do not want anyone to read them a) removed me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) ended my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) ended my bid to be selected to fill a Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019, d) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) ended my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, f) ended my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, g) ended my service as Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, h) ended my membership on the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee in 2007, i) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) ended my membership on the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors in 2004.
I am a conservative independent not-for-profit aggregator of government and political news and commentary who promotes the Republican Party platform. QUESTION: What differentiates me from those reporters and journalists who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me? ANSWER: I state that I am a conservative Republican and I am a conservative Republican. I should write a book about those reporters and journalists who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most. I would focus on those who deny that they function as operatives or as dupes for the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green parties, but do so.
Richard Williamson was the IRP chairman 1999–2001, Lee Daniels 2001–2002, Dallas Ingemunson 2002 (interim), Gary MacDougal, 2002–2002, Judy Baar Topinka 2002–2005, Andrew McKenna 2005–2009, Pat Brady 2009–2013, Jack Dorgan 2013–2014, Tim Schneider 2014–2021; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman 2018–2024, and Don Tracy 2021–present. I attended the meetings in which candidates made their presentations in 2005 and 2013. I should write a book about the aforesaid and how they and their Executive Directors treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.
POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP Chair Don Tracy calls it quits – SHIA KAPOS (COMMENT: How many people do you know who are/were chairmen of political organizations? My perspective on all this is impacted by my having served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. Being the chairman of a political organization is a thankless job.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/06/20/don-tracy-calls-it-quits-00164183
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Don Tracy, the chair of the Illinois Republican Party, sent out a resignation letter Wednesday criticizing how party leaders handled a complaint that resulted in a veteran party leader being ousted by the State Central Committee. His full letter is here. Split priorities: “We have Republicans who would rather fight other Republicans than engage in the harder work of defeating incumbent Democrats,” Tracy wrote, referring to last week’s State Central Committee meeting that led to Mark Shaw’s ouster. The Tribune followed up with a scathing story of unnamed sources saying efforts to replace Tracy were brewing. A year ago, for example, Tracy survived a “no confidence vote” among party officials. The bigger issue: The Illinois GOP is shifting. The base supporting Donald Trump is no longer a wing of the party. It is the party. During his three years leading the state GOP, Tracy tried to hold both establishment and right-leaning segments together but faced headwinds at every turn. The other challenge: The party is struggling for relevance in a state where the state-wide holders are all Democrats. What’s next: Tracy says he’d like his successor named “no later than” July 19, right after the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Names in the hopper: State Sen. Jason Plummer, who represents the Edwardsville area near St. Louis, and Aaron Del Mar, a former Cook County GOP chair. Del Mar told us he’s “very interested.” Democrats are gleeful: In a statement after Tracy’s announcement, the Illinois Democratic Party said “best of luck to the inevitable MAGA extremist who will succeed Don Tracy as chair.”)
CAPITOL FAX
— Embattled Tracy will resign as ILGOP chair “preferably no later” than the day after Republican National Convention – Rich Miller (COMMENT: If the ILGOP sent out a press release, I did not receive it. One could say that Tracy’s resignation letter certainly gave lots of ammunition to Democrat and RINO leaders to further harm/destroy the ILGOP.)
https://capitolfax.com/2024/06/20/embattled-tracy-will-resign-as-ilgop-chair-preferably-no-later-than-the-day-after-republican-national-convention/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wednesday resignation press release from Don Tracy…As I told subscribers, Tracy sent out word of his resignation before the Tribune story was published. The Republican National Convention ends July 18. Democratic Party of Illinois react…Following the latest reports of Illinois GOP dysfunction and Chair Don Tracy’s sudden resignation, the Democratic Party of Illinois released the following statement: “While the IL GOP finds itself in chaos, the Democratic Party of Illinois enters the 2024 general election as a united party standing for freedom and opportunity for all of Illinois’ working families. As a reminder, last cycle, Illinois Democrats defeated the IL GOP’s MAGA candidate for Governor, re-elected Senator Tammy Duckworth, protected supermajorities in the IL General Assembly, and expanded our representation in Congress. In contrast, the IL GOP has been defined by a litany of electoral disasters, constant infighting, meager fundraising, and a strict adherence to a losing set of anti-choice, anti-worker, pro-Trump policies. While we don’t expect new leadership to change any of that, we do wish the best of luck to the inevitable MAGA extremist who will succeed Don Tracy as Chair.”)

Any action that threatens the cornerstone of our democracy and First Amendment rights is unacceptable.” There are also some who see this as an attempt by the mayor to curry favor with the Black and Brown communities, where her support may be soft.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee (SCC) has voted to remove Mark Shaw as Vice Chairman of the party. They will be voting next to remove him from the SCC. (COMMENT: Illinois Republicans anxiously await a press release on this from the Illinois Republican Party (IRP). Shaw is charged with acquired multiple delegate badges and voting as a delegate when was not appointed as one. The leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) refused to appoint me as a delegate to the 2004 IRP State Convention in Collinsville. I appealed to Kirk Dillard, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee Chairman at the time, who immediately appointed me as a delegate. Further, the IRP Executive Director refused my $250 for a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter ad in the convention’s directory and cancelled my and my wife’s hotel room reservation. In 2004, MTRO leaders blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters a) for George Ryan’s problems, b) for George Ryan’s chief aide Scott Fawell’s problems, c) for Milton Township Assessor Jim Gumm’s problems, d) for Jim Ryan’s loss to Blagojevich in the 2002 gubernatorial election, e) for Durkin’s loss to Durbin for U.S. Senate in 2002, f) for Andrew McKenna’s loss to Jack Ryan in the 2004 U.S. Senate Republican primary, and g) for etc. In 2004, in addition to having been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I was an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Vice Chairman, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board of directors member. At the 2024 IRP State Convention, there were only 12 delegates from DuPage County. I was the only one at the convention with three badges – delegate, press, and vendor.)

— The IRS is cracking down on a tax loophole for the rich. The effort could raise $50 billion. (COMMENT: A loophole is a deduction that you take but your critics/opponents do not. As an IRS Revenue Officer 1971-1980, I took and deducted graduate evening a) business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980 because my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take such courses. But extremely few of my Democrat IRS coworkers did that. In 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors outrageously disallowed all the courses that I had deducted. To do that, they ignored the reasons that I gave for taking the courses in my college applications and falsely argued that the courses did not relate to my job duties, did not help maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and qualified me for a new trade or business. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They used “up-or-out” to write me off because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by the time I was 25 year old in 1974.)

My Democrat GAO superiors stressed that they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, that they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, that that they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and that they 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 stressed that they never promoted me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and that they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Epic Meltdown: IL GOP Vice Chair Mark Shaw Pens Unhinged Rant, Calls Grassroots “Uninformed Lemmings” as Dele-Gate Scandal Intensifies
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/06/epic-meltdown-il-gop-vice-chair-mark-shaw-pens-unhinged-rant-calls-grassroots-uninformed-lemmings-as-dele-gate-scandal-intensifies.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Saturday, embattled Illinois Republican Party Vice Chairman, former Trump Campaign Advisor and State Central Committee member Mark Shaw penned an angry, 10-page manifesto where he appeared unhinged as the IL GOP leader attempted to defend himself after it was revealed that he broke party rules and purposefully misrepresented himself as a delegate during the state convention last month. In his 10-page meltdown, Shaw was in attack mode, angrily attacking fellow SSC members, county GOP leaders, the grassroots – which he referred to as “uniformed lemmings,” and he even borrowed a line from Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker – calling former GOP attorney general nominee Tom DeVore a “grifter.” In October 2021, Gov. Pritzker called DeVore a “grifter” for filing lawsuits against the governor’s mask mandate in schools during the pandemic. As it has been previously reported, Shaw made a fool of himself during the GOP State Convention in Collinsville last month when he refused to withdraw from his national committeeman race after losing in a series of votes – intent on not backing down despite an overwhelming majority of delegates rejecting his candidacy. And when Aaron Del Mar, a fellow SSC member suggested he withdraw from the race and back his opponent, Shaw threatened Del Mar – a former MMA fighter, and said that he was going to take him outside and beat him up. But that wasn’t all. Just shortly after the convention, it was discovered that Shaw purposefully misrepresented himself as a delegate to the convention as photos emerged of the IL GOP vice chairman wearing an official delegate badge when he was in fact, not a delegate – a direct violation of state party rules. Shaw – in his letter, asserts that he was a delegate, but text messages reveal just the opposite. In one text message exchange, Shaw asks Lake County GOP Central Committee Chairman Keith Brin – who was maintaining the delegate list as the local party leader, if he could be a delegate, writing, “Keith: I would like to be a Delegate to the ILGOP State Convention from Lake County. What is the procedure for being placed on Lake County’s list of Delegates?”. . .But Brin never added Shaw to the delegate list – and Shaw never received an official notification from his county GOP leader stating that he was a delegate. If such a notification existed, Shaw would have included it in his 10-page manifesto – but he did not. And while Shaw was listed on an attendee list to attend the state convention, he was not included on Brin’s list as a delegate. But that didn’t stop Shaw – and photos and eyewitness accounts show Shaw at the convention wearing a “Delegate” badge – a direct violation of state party rules. . .The embattled state party leader, who’s actions continue to embarrass Republicans statewide, also took personal shots at Brin and fellow SSC members Sean Morrison and Aaron Del Mar – turning a letter that was supposed to be a defense of his actions into a script for the Jerry Springer Show. The petty and epic 10-page meltdown sounded more like a childish rant – and not something you’d expect from a senior member of the Illinois Republican Party. The unhinged letter also exposed a lack of leadership within the party and proved yet again why Illinois Republicans remain in the super minority – voiceless and irrelevant on local and state matters. The letter also showed how much disdain Shaw has for the powerful and influential grassroots base of the party – calling the grassroots “uninformed lemmings”, “keyboard warriors” and “political hacks.” Ironic – because in 2018 as co-chairman of the IL GOP, Shaw was put in charge to “protect the interests of the grassroots.” The IL GOP Vice Chair also suggested censoring this publication and it’s owners, writing, “What censure exists for those who seek to advance their own ‘careers’ at the expense of party unity…” Such censorship is common among Democrats and countries like Brazil, China and Russia, where opposing political voices and reporters are silenced. But this isn’t the first time this has been proposed. Last year, SSC member Jeanne Ives suggested censoring this publication after appearing agitated by stories covering the IL GOP and some of its leadership including IL GOP Chairman Don Tracy. During the 2022 Republican primary, Shaw was the Lake County GOP chair when Nimish Jani bussed Indian-American senior citizens to the Lake County Republican straw poll to rig the poll in favor of his candidate Richard Irvin. The senior citizens, escorted by staff wearing Irvin-Bourne tee shirts, arrived at the meeting with pre-filled ballots. Irvin would win the straw poll with 144 votes and his campaign used the poll to prove that his message was resonating with Republican voters. Shaw continues to take the position that the straw poll election, conducted under his watch, was fair. Irvin would go on to lose the primary election to the grassroots-backed candidate by 43 points despite receiving more than $50 million in funding. In February, Shaw, who is an Illinois advisor to the Trump campaign and a Trump delegate, was listed as a co-host for the IL GOP’s Bank Your Vote Gala in Rosemont that featured U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-La). The co-chair of the gala was Greg Hart – a pro-choice, “Never-Trumper” who continues to bash the wildly popular former president and presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States on his social media accounts, repeatedly writing that Trump is “not fit to be leader of the free world.” And during the gala, none of the speakers mentioned Trump’s name on stage – deliberately avoiding him altogether. A point that surprised many in attendance. The gala also did not include any Trump signs or materials, which Shaw controlled. And despite serving as a senior advisor to the Trump Campaign in Illinois, Shaw remained silent on the appointment of Hart as the gala’s co-chair. Several county GOP leaders have called for Shaw to resign or be removed from his leadership positions. And sources have shared with this publication that Shaw has lost the support from a majority of the SSC. And the pressure is mounting for the IL GOP to take swift action as this scandal has the potential to cause permanent damage for the party ahead of the November elections.)

— IRS wants to end another major tax loophole for the wealthy – AP (COMMENT: A loophole is a deduction that you take but your critics/opponents do not. As an IRS Revenue Officer 1971-1980, I took and deducted graduate evening a) business courses at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980 because my IRS employee manual encouraged me to take such courses. But extremely few of my Democrat IRS coworkers did that. In 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors outrageously disallowed the courses that I had deducted. To do that, they ignored the reasons that I gave for taking the courses in my college applications and falsely argued that the courses did not relate to my job duties, did not help maintain or improve my job skills, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and qualified me for a new trade or business. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done that if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They used “up-or-out” to write me off because they had not promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) by the time I was 25 year old.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What would you do if you were me? Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct that they should not want me to help elect them because I am “too conservative,” because my demographics are terrible, and even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I do to help elect a candidate, the fewer votes that candidate will get because I only help elect candidates who are “too conservative” to win general elections. According to them, the voters in my precinct despise/hate my demographics and overwhelmingly want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination even though Trump got 91 votes in my precinct and Haley got only 33. They want me to drop 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. They boycotted the Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Collinsville this year. Should I contact the Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in my precinct about this? Again, what would you do about the aforesaid if you were me? – Dave Diersen

That is, Bush and Hastert reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, that is, they promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.)

— Antisemitism is taking over college campuses. – Adam Guillette (COMMENT: In 1989, to get rid of me because I had become an active member in a lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors made it extremely clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS. So, my second choice for group assignment was their group that audits federal financial industry regulators. Because of antisemitism in GAO’s Chicago office, I was able to get assigned to that group in 1990. The head of that group was not only Jewish, she was younger, wealthy, demanding, had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. Because virtually none of my coworkers wanted to work for her, she reluctantly accepted me into her group. Because she virtually demanded that all the members of her group have master’s degrees in finance, I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992, and after completing 14 courses, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I succeeded in getting her appointed to program’s advisory board. But notwithstanding the aforesaid, in September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, she led my Chicago office Democrat GAO superiors’ successful effort to force me to take their early retirement “offer.” I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

We expect those in the United States to abide by those laws, whether the law relates to a person’s civil liberties, respecting one’s property, or obeying red lights. When a law is broken, there should be consequences. Those who enter illegally or overstay their time in the United States are violating our immigration laws and disrespecting our system of government a clear indication that they may not abide by other laws. When the Rule of Law is degraded, cynicism, corruption, social discontent, and chaos can ensue.)

— Democrats ever-increasingly use Juneteenth to promote more hatred against Republicans. My Democrat superiors in the federal government had great success in promoting hatred against Republicans. I became eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I was able to survive another 4 years before my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” and gave by Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. If there had been as much Democrat-generated hatred within GAO against Republicans back then as there is now, they would have succeeded in forcing me to retire much sooner. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 even though I had earned my third job-related master’s degree and my sixth job-related professional certification that year. Previously, I had earned job related professional certifications in 1996,1994,1990, 1981, and 1979 and I had earned a job-related professional license in 1981.

As Democrats ever-increasingly run Illinois, anticipate/expect fewer and fewer and fewer candidates will run as Republicans.

https://news.wttw.com/2024/06/03/after-would-be-illinois-gop-candidates-sue-judge-considering-whether-slated-candidates
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Sangamon County judge is weighing whether to block a new state law that bans the long-practiced tradition of political parties slating candidates for a general election after sitting out of a primary race. Democrats who control the General Assembly pushed the measure through the legislative process and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed it into law in a matter of days last month, arguing that slating is unfair to voters who didn’t get a say in a primary contest. Several would-be Republican candidates then sued over the law, claiming it’s unfair to ban the practice in the middle of an election cycle.)

I should write a book about the adverse actions that my Democrat GAO, IRS, Firestone Stores, and Post Office superiors took against me. Further, I should write another book about the adverse actions that my Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois have taken and continue to take against me.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— Illinois Republican Party Responds to President Trump Verdict Following the verdict in the New York trial of President Trump, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement: “Let’s call this trial what it really is: a political prosecution the likes of which occurs in banana republics but not previously in these United States. Democrat activist investigators and prosecutors have relentlessly hounded President Trump for years. First, they challenged the legitimacy of his election in 2016 thru the Russian collusion hoax. Then, they strove to defeat his re-election in 2020 thru impeachments and the Hunter Biden laptop coverup. Then, they indicted him and his supporters to tarnish his legacy in an effort to re-elect President Biden. This weaponization of the judicial system has weakened our country here and in the eyes of the world, which I’m sure President Biden will savor while he vacations in Delaware as his handlers make critical decisions for the country.”

But if I had not been removed from the 2024 IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee, I would have advocated for a platform and for resolutions that would have given more priority and more emphasis to promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving).

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2024/05/31/illinois-republicans-say-the-fix-was-in-00160956
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE: Illinois Republicans and a certain former governor rallied behind Donald Trump after a Manhattan jury found him guilty Thursday on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush money criminal trial. A sentencing hearing is set for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Some of the reax: The Illinois GOP issued a statement comparing the legal proceedings to “banana republics.” Darren Bailey, who got Trump’s support when he ran for governor, called it “a dark day for America.” And Ogle County GOP Chair Mike Koolidge predicts the verdicts will “energize voters like nothing else has before — and in Trump’s favor.” Deja vu for you know who: Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose prison term on corruption charges was commuted by Trump, said: “When you’ve lived through it yourself you recognize when they do it to someone else … the political fix was in.” The Democrat turned Trump-ocrat, as Blagojevich likes to describe himself, said the verdict was made by “a handpicked politicized Dem judge who denied a former President a chance to put on a defense and allowed ridiculously unlawful jury instructions,” via X. Illinois Democrats had another take, of course. Gov. JB Pritzker, who is a surrogate on the campaign trail for President Joe Biden, issued a statement saying: “Justice has been served. … Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter, and a threat to this country. He can now add one more title to his list — a felon. But let me be clear, Donald Trump will never be 47.” Mayor Brandon Johnson called Trump “a con artist, a bigot, and an embarrassment of a former president. And now, he’s a convicted felon,” on his social media account. Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) called Trump “a loser in court and now we must beat him at the ballot box.” And Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, offered this: “As I’ve said all along: no one is above the law — not even a former president.” Republicans and Democrats agree on one point made by Trump outside the courtroom: “The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people.”)

I deducted the graduate evening a) business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980. My IRS employee manual encouraged me to take those courses. But in 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors disallowed those courses.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. It is not “Democrat-Lite.” The only legitimate reason a) to be a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, b) to be an Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Delegate, c) to serve on an IRP State Convention committee, d) to be an officer of a Republican township/ward or county party organization, e) to be an IRP State Central Committee (SCC) member, f) to be an IRP National Committeeman or Committeewoman, and g) to be the IRP chairman is to help elect candidates in Illinois who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. But in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township, far too many of the aforesaid reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, 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. Far too many of the aforesaid get rid of those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. Ever-increasingly, Republican candidates in Illinois paint themselves as being Democrat-Lite if not anti-conservative. Ever-increasingly, they talk and/or act like the Republican Party platform does not exist. The current process for electing IRP SCC members has caused the aforesaid. Should I start writing about the aforesaid who have the most clout, who reject the most planks in the Republican Party platform, who have done the most to destroy those like me who support those planks, who use the current system for electing IRP SCC members to stay in power, who had me removed from the 2024 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee? – Dave Diersen

My Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to turn my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me.)

— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) a) to issue a detailed press release on its State Convention and b) to post on its website its new platform and its 12 new resolutions. Those who dominate the IRP oppose direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members, oppose Dean White, and oppose conservative principles. Anticipate/expect that those who dominate the IRP will not only ignore/dismiss/belittle the party’s new platform and resolutions, they will get rid of IRP SCC members, county party leaders, township/ward party leaders, precinct committeemen/captains, voters, and everyone else a) who want direct election of IRP SCC members, who support Dean White, and/or who promote conservative principles. Conservatives overwhelmingly want direct election of IRP SCC members. Who were the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee members who stated that they are conservative but voted against direct election? I have promoted direct election of IRP SCC members and conservative principles, that is, the Republican Party platform, big time since 2000. Since 2000, party leaders who oppose direct election of IRP SCC members and/or oppose conservative principles have taken many big adverse actions against me because of that. I should write a book about that. – Dave Diersen

JOHN ZAHM
— Getting your own house in order. Some people came to Collinsville to the Illinois Republican Party Convention to limit grassroots Republicans voice and influence in the party. Others came to take selfies and pump up the appearance of their influence. Others cut deals to acquire positions and titles to benefit themselves. Daniel R. Zahm and I attended the Convention laser-focused on supporting policies and people who would represent grassroots conservative values and real reform for the Republican Party. After witnessing Committee Reports that had predetermined outcomes, and little substantive debate and discussion, we doubled down on our efforts promoting a great grassroots conservative leader Dean R. White – Illinois Republican State Central Committee. Insider party bosses like Laura Pollastrini and Larry Smith fought tooth and nail to defeat Dean. They supported and used rules and technicalities to make the process of overturning the National Committeeman-National Committeewoman vote of 10 people for Mark Shaw carry the weight over 494 Delegates nearly impossible. We would not stand for it and took the route of defeating the Committee report on the floor since they would not allow us to have a new vote on the floor between Shaw and White. In the end we succeeded. It was a team effort bringing together a group of just over 300 delegates who would not waver in the face of threats, demands, and insults. One HUGE victory. But many more to go. Many more stories to share. Patriots to thank. Bad actors to call out. But let’s start with this one right here. (Photo with Dean right after the victory).

DOUG IBENDAHL
— Rank-And-File outsmart Pompous Pooh-Bahs at IL GOP state convention (COMMENT: Far too many “Republican” party leaders and precinct committeemen are acting like they would rather see Biden elected than Trump. How many of them boycotted the Illinois Republican Party State Convention in Collinsville?)
https://dougelstonibendahl.substack.com/p/rank-and-file-outsmart-pompous-pooh
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This state convention was the most shamefully rigged and disrespectful to the Republican rank-and-file I’ve seen yet in the nearly 30 years I’ve been paying attention to this stuff. And I have always been the first to acknowledge there were certainly problems when I was the state party’s lawyer 25 years ago. But I learn from experience and when I see things are infinitely worse today, I work for meaningful positive change. I don’t double-down on a failed system which the average 5-year old can see has been a catastrophic disaster for the Illinois GOP. Unfortunately, that is not yet an attitude universally shared. And we’re now to the point where dishonesty, self-dealing and unprofessionalism are officially off the charts. And it all centers around a desperate desire by the pooh-bahs to keep the rank-and-file disenfranchised and voiceless in their own state party. The lengths some on the state central committee (SCC) and their bootlicks have been willing to go to keep Republicans from having a vote again has a lot of people scratching their heads. . .Meanwhile, my strong hunch is that the party pooh-bahs are taking no positive lessons from the clock-cleaning regular Republicans delivered on Saturday. If anything, the pooh-bahs are kicking themselves for leaving even a crack in the door which allowed the Republican rank-and-file to have ANY voice at this convention. They aren’t planning to loosen the rules, they’re surely planning to make them even MORE restrictive next time. Not sure that would even be possible, but if there is a way to further squelch the voice of their constituents, I’m sure they’ll find it. It’s about all they do. Anyone who still doesn’t understand why our vote must be restored for our state party’s central committee, the governing board, really needs to do us all a favor and find a new hobby. I mean come on, seriously, no one can truly be that oblivious.)
ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Grassroots Dominate IL GOP State Convention and Expand Influence as State Party Leaders Lose Their Cool (COMMENT: Far too many “Republican” party leaders and precinct committeemen are acting like they would rather see Biden elected than Trump.

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2024/05/grassroots-dominate-il-gop-state-convention-and-expand-influence-as-state-party-leaders-lose-their-cool.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Saturday, the influential conservative grassroots base of the Illinois Republican Party scored major victories during the GOP State Convention in Collinsville – as delegates from across the state elected Dean White as the new Republican national committeeman and Donald Trump-endorsed U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, (IL-15) as the Illinois Delegation Chair to nominate President Trump at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee. The state convention did not lack drama, as state party officials tried their best to maintain power and protect their own establishment-supported candidates. . .But the drama was not over as late Friday night, embattled IL GOP chairman Don Tracy withdrew himself from the running to be the Illinois Delegation Chair to nominate President Donald Trump at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee, after realizing that the room full of delegates was not on his side. Tracy then supported Miller, who is grassroots and a crowd favorite who was endorsed by President Trump in her re-election to Congress, in her bid to become the delegation chair. Rhonda Belford was also elected as the new RNC National Committeewoman. Many IL GOP officials continue to blame this publication for publishing articles critical of the establishment-base of the party – and that anger towards Illinois Review was on full display during the convention.)

https://abc7chicago.com/post/cps-school-budget-breakdown-released-chicago-public-schools-parents-transparency-funding-formula/14883754/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Tuesday, CPS released a school-by-school budget breakdown under a brand new funding formula based on equity rather than enrollment. “It’s schools that have high needs high poverty, high special ed, high English language learners. Those schools are going to get more recourses. They’re going to be smaller class sizes,” Martinez said. But Martinez admits a small number of schools will face cuts because of tighter budgets. At schools where enrollment is high and demographics are wealthier, class sizes may become a bit bigger.)

That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my job-related a) bachelor’s degree (1970), b) three master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), c) six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and d) professional license (1981).

They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am “too conservative” and even worse things and that because of that, the more that do to help elect them, the more votes that they will lose.

— Should I write about my critics/opponents who do bad things that get into the public record and then punish me for my not covering that up? According to Wikipedia, “A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence, or other embarrassing information. Research has distinguished personal cover-ups (covering up one’s own misdeeds) from relational cover-ups (covering up someone else’s misdeeds). The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Perpetrators of a cover-up (initiators or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up – Dave Diersen
